WEDNESD’Y, MAY 22, lO-’O TWINKLES That news story in Monday’s Star, under the heading “Papa Patching Pants to Put Finery on Girls,” was a good news story, but a lot of dads and grandads can tell you that there was nothing new about the information. North Carolina public speakers are getting more daring every day. Last week Dr. Laughinghouse had the nerye during his address to the convention of North Carolina un dertakers to urge more economy in funeral rites. GETTING THE TAXES IN THE OPINION of The Star the county commissioners 1 made a good move in authorizing Sheriff Allen to go out and get unpaid poll tax, totalling several thousand dollars, in Cleveland county. Property owners are advertised when they fail to pay their taxes and it is unfair to them to let the fellow who pays poll tax, and nothing else, to get by without paying even that. Sheriff Allen has been or dered by the board to go out and garnishee wages for un paid tax and to secure and sell personal property for un paid personal property tax, and he is now preparing his list to carry out the order. Hundreds of people yearly avoid paying their poll tax and if the move on the part of the commissioners and the sheriff is successful it will tend to lower the tax rate in the long run, for the plugging of every leak helps that much. GOVERNOR'S NERVE GOOD IN VIEW of the fact that wc have the average Southern 1 er’s Idea about Chicago, that idea being that the Chicago citizen who lives longer than a week must wear a bullet proof vest and a horseshoe, we admire the nerve of Governor 'Gardner in saying some of the things he did in his big radio •speech there last Saturday night. Chicago’s mayor, William Kale (Big Bill) Thompson cannot stand anything even re motely connected with King George or the English, but de spite that Governor Gardner, in referring to the Mecklen >urg Declaration of Independence, said: “Three months before the Philadelphia break with Britain, 150 years two months and 23 days before the first Dempsey-Tunney fight Halifax county was shaking its fist at George and telling him to go to hell with a rudeness that would have made joyful the soul of William Hale Tliomp son. Seriously, Governor Gardner did a remarkable bit of advertising for his state in the speech which was broadcast over a nation-wide radio hook-up. 11 is depicting of North Carolina’s rise from its poverty stricken condition following ttye Civil War was colorful but never did the Governor per mit the color he gave to the telling of an unusual industrial story to get away from facts and figures not to be disputed. SHELBY AND ATHLETICS THOSE SHELBY boys just keep on winning, and without doubt it is another one of those interesting athletic years lor Shelby. Athletic success in high schools is an off and on proposition. A coach trains a group of youngsters until he has them playing in tip-top manner, wins a championship, or comes near winning, and then the boys graduate about that time and the coach must turn back to a younger group and start building all over again. Shelby has had several championship teams and Saturday of this week for the third time a group of local youngsters will be in Chapel Hill bat tling for a title. Their record is enough to cause any town to be proud of them, and there is little doubt but what the special train down to the game will be jammed with interest ed parents and fans. Just as a sidelight to the occasion it might be noted that a Governor down in Raleigh will learn aturday that there is another Gardner in the family who bids fair to be heard from himself some of these days—the Shelby team is managed by the Governor’s second son, Ralph. And along with the other athletic news of the day, the announcement in this issue that Casey Morris will direct the athletics again next year in the city school system will be joyfully received in all sections of the city and county. It is naturally an impossibility for Morris to take the boys from a small city high school and lick the entire state every year, but in the off years Shelby parents are pretty well satisfied to have their boys and girls trained to play fairly and squarely regardless of the outcome and by experience they know such happens under the Morris directorship. Since coming to Shelby Morris has been known to bench sev eral of his star performers because of their failure to meas ure up in their school work or because of their conduct on the Held, and that is one of the big reasons why Shelby par ents make much whoopee, if you’ll pardon the word, when the boys do come through. “NEXT GOVERNORS’’ AGAIN ^OT LONG since The Star made a survey of the early boom on for North Carolina’s next governor, and the sur vey included the information that P. W. McMullan was be ing boomed for the place although his fellow townsman, J. C. B. Ehringhaus, was already considered one of the lead ing and most popular candidates. That information worried any number of Shelby and Cleveland county people. Last fall Mr, Ehringhaus spoke in Shelby and, to use a street term, he “went over big” with his hearers, many of them declaring they were for him in 1932. To ease their worries about the Elizabeth City man being opposed in his home town we reproduce the following editorial by W. O. Saunders in his Elizabeth City Independent: “The prompt statement of P. W, MeMullan of Elizabeth City that he is not a candidate for governor and wouldn’t have the nomination if offered him, and his unqualified pledge of support for his fellow townsman J. C. B. Ehring haus, is very like P. W. MeMullan. “But that mysterious full page advertisement in the News & Observer, of Sunday, May 5, indorsing him for gov ernor of North Carolina has given North Carolinians some thing to think about and many will regret that he wasn’t thought of earlier; for Percy MeMullan measures up tothose highest ideals of citizenship that are sadly lacking in so many political offerings. “If there is a worthy successor of the great Chas. B. Aycoek in North Carolina today, that man is P. W, Mc Mullan; his is the Aycoek heart and the Aycock intellect; he only lacks the ability to broadcast the Aycock warmth. One has to get a little close to Percy MeMullan to feel the warmth of him; but behind his modest reserve and self abnegation is a wealth of human love and sympathy and un derstanding. lie is morally and intellectually honest to a degree that I do not believe $ have seen in any other man that I know. And I have known Percy MeMullan from boyhood. “Let no other candidate for the governorship take com fort from the thought that an indorsement of P. W. Mc Mullan spells a division of local sentiment on the candidacy of that other Elizabeth City man, J. C. B. Ehringhaus. P. W. MeMullan spells a division of local sentiment on the can didacy of that other Elizabeth City man, J. C. Ehringhaus. P. W. MeMullan will go his whole length for Ehringhaus and will carry his friends with him.” THE SOUTH AND TARIFF '“THERE WAS considerable talk following the last election of the benefits the South would receive from the new Republican administration by the agency of a tariff revision as a reward for the breaking of the solid Democratic section. In fact the issue was widely used in the campaign, in addi tion to which it is only fair that the Republican tariff should bring aid and relief to all Sections and not merely one sec tion. Never has the South benefitted by Republican tariff measures unless to a slight degree by a measure created for the aid of some other section, and the revision proposed now by the Way and Means committee in Congress certainly fails to uphold the claims that the South’s support of President Hoover would bring tariff measures to help the South as well as the North and East. Under the heading of “Economic Tariff Injustice to South," The Manufacturers’ Record says: “The Presidential campaign was fought throughout the South with the distinct understanding that, if President Hoo ver was elected, a protective tariff would be established which would protect many and varied interests of the South from killing competition of countries where the rates of wages if paid here would mean starvation to American working people, and thus the destruction of all business prosperity. “The South has a right, therefore, to appeal to Presi dent Hoover and to the Republican members of Congress for tariff treatment entirely different from that proposed by the Ways and Means Committee. Suga. and a few other Southern products are given the benefit of a protective tariff but the great cotton interests of the South, so far as raw cot ton is concerned, are left on the free list despite the vigorous appeals made in behalf of a duty on cotton and especially on long staple cotton. With a fair degree of protection the South could develop the long staple industry to a sufficient extent to meet every need of this country. And yet we im ported last year 172,037,105 pounds of cotton, equal to 344, 000 bales of 500 pounds each at a value of $42,7.1,000. Of this importation 89,231,492 pounds came from Egypt 28, 304,970 pounds from China, 13,619,753 pounds from British India. Even Mexico sent us 22,168,784 pounds. “Cotton from the countries named is raised with labor paid only a few cents a day, and yet protection against such cotton is denied by the report of the Ways and Means Com mittee of the House. Moreover, jute, which is coming into this country in enormous quantities, to the injury of the cotton grower and the manufacturer, is left on the free list against the vigorous and insistent protests of the cotton in terests of the South. “These are but two illustrations of how the South would suffer from the proposed tariff measure should it be adopt ed. We cannot believe, however, that President Hoover and the Republicans who are responsible for this tariff will per mit the South to be thus sacrificed as in this particular in stance and in a good many others in which a wholly inade quate protective duty is proposed. On the floor of the House and in the Senate a fight must be waged in behalf of fairer treatment to the South, and the Republicans in Congress and President Hoover himself owe it to the South to see that this section is more fairly treated in the proposed tariff bill. Every interest in the South should unite in a determin ed campaign in behalf of protective duties for this section. By reason of the fact that Democratic politicians who have worshipped the fetish of free trade have themselves been largely responsible in the past for stabbing the South in the back in the matter of protective duties, it is made all the more difficult to secure justice in the present situation. “The South fully appreciates the advances which have been proposed on sugar, peanuts, vegetables and many other things, but there is still great need for the changes suggested in the foregoing.” 5,000 Homes Receive The Star Every Other Day—Mr. Merchant Get Your Message To The Home Through The Star—You Will Get Results That Will Satisfy. such Is Fame. Sc'.eral years ago Firestone. Ford Edison and Bourroughs were tour ing through West Virginia. A head light on thcii car went bad and they stopped at a little crossroad store. Mr. Ford went into the store to make the purchase. ■ What kind of headlight bulbs do you have?” he asked. ‘ Edison," replied the merchant. •Til take one,” said Ford, “and by the wav, you may be interested to know that Mr. Edison is out in my car.” “Is that so?" answered the mer chant. When the light had been repaired, it was discovered that a new tire was needed. Ford reentered the store and asked the proprietor wdiat kind of tires he carried in stock. “Firestone,” was the prompt reply. “That will be all right. Just put a new one on for us. and it happen' that Mr. Firestone is also out in my car and I am Mr. Ford—Henry Ford.” While the merchant was putting on the tire, Bourrough, who had quite a growth of white whiskers, leaned out of the car and said “Good evening, sir." The merchant looked up at him with a grin full of sarcasm and said, “If >ou try to tell me you're Santa Claus, I'll be darned if I don’t crown you with this here monkey wrench.” Notice Of Sale.

CONTROL POTATO BCG WITH CALCIUM ARSENATE The potato bug, known scientifi cally as the Colorado Potato beetle, is mow an unwelcome guest in fam ily gardens and commercial Irish potato plantings. If unmolested the insect can completely destroy potato plans in a short while, says C. H. Brannon, extension ento mologist at State college. However, Mr. Brannon says that the bug may be easily controlled by the use of calcium arsenate, ei ther in spray form or as a dust. No other poison is needed a the cal cium arsenate is absolutely effective and is the cheapest poison that can be used. In dusting the poison, he rec ommends that the plants be well covered with the amount used depending on the size of the plants. The regular hand dust ers, such as are used in fighting the cotton holt weevil, have giver excellent results in tests made b> the college workers There Is little danger of burning the plants but too much poison should not be used because of the waste.
