Put on your best smile and get your welcoming hand ready for action for the remainder of the week. “Come on. Miss June," urges The Greensboro New’s, “think of your reputation, gal.” The News may be refer ring to brides, bugs or fishing weather, but we’ll join in with out knowing and urge the gal to do her stuff. That Pennsylvania boy found shot in his room on the day of his graduation certainly finished up school in modern style, for a lot of our college students seem to acquire readily the ability to get-half-shot when occasion, and there seem to he many occasions, demands. “North Carolina Now Really Air-Minded,” informs a headline in an afternoon daily published, of course, in this state. And at times, when we go to checking over our "firsts,” a lot of it is hot air. The fruit fly is believed to have reached Shelby, and after taking a peep at a few unscreened places about town there is no doubt but what the house fly, which is more dangerous to us than the Mediterranean pest, has been on hands for some days. HOW’S THAT, SENATOR? ^ J. COFFIN, feature columnist off The Greensboro 'News, recently popped this question at Senator Sim mons: “If you an Mr. Bailey enter the Democratic primary and 1 vote for Mr. Bailey and you win, will you expect me to go out and whoop it, lip for Judge Meekins, the Republican nominee, as you did for Mr. Hoover after your man. Mr. Hull lost and Smith was nominated?" What a pesky person the columnist must seem to the Senator. TOO MUCH PALAVER ■yHE EDITOR of the Ivey Store News, which appears regu larly in Charlotte papers—and. incidentally, the topics therein are rated by us as among the leading editorial pro ducts of the state—made an interesting observation .this week in summing up the Confederate reunion. In naming his list of those deserving of high praise for putting over the reunion in fine style the writer wound up by saying “And not one of them made a single speech.” It is usually so, but it is not often that we hear the fellows who do the work while the others do a lot of talking get proper credit for their endeavors. All the speeches ever made if canned in the talkies are worth less in preparing for and handling and event calling for much work than one good worker, will ing and energetic enough to go about doing the things need ed to be done while his more important fellows (in their opinion) spend the time palavering about what "we” are do ing. A CLERGYMAN S PROMISE YEAR OR two back wide controversy developed in thus state and spread over the country as to the justification of a minister telling officers of a young woman’s confession to him in which she revealed that she had killed her father. Major opinion seemed to be that he was not justified in so doing, and now Dr. S. Parkes Cadman who conducts a syn dicated column of answers to “‘Everyday Questions’’ ex presses a similar opinion. Presumably the case referred to him is the Reidsville sensation. Here is the question as sent in from Newark, New Jersey, and Dr. Cadman’s answer. “Q—Upon the promise of a clergyman to keep the matter disclosed to him a secret between himself and God only, a woman confessed to him that she had killed her father. Thereafter this clergyman went to the local authorities and revealed to them the confession thus made. The outcome of this action on his part Was a trial, which, however, resulted in the acquittal of the woman. Was the clergyman in any way justified in revealing the information he obtained in this way to the police authorities in the interests of justice? “A—I recall the case to which you refer and also that the conduct of this minister was almost universally con demned. Confidence intrusted to a clergyman by those, who seek his spiritual direction should be held by him as inviol able and sacred. The exposure, detection and punishment of crime is the business of the law an the courts. These re spect the clerical position as I have stated it, and do not in sist that pastors shall reveal secrets committed to them in the confessional. “Many clergymen would undoubtedly advise the wrong doer to surrender himself or herself to the authorities, while « others might not so advise. Much depends upon the rules of various churches and the nature of the offense confessed. Of course, if an innocent person were likely to suffer for the crime, any clergyman, as I understand it, is bound to pre-' vent such a miscarriage of justice. Personally I do not think the man to whom you refer was justified in disclosing the j information* he received £fter solemnly binding himself not to do so.' Nobody’s Business GEE MeGEK— (Exclusive in The Star in this section.) Amongst The Elite. When It comes to “'society,” 1 Ain’t much. I am Just an every day kind of a fellow. I don't even know how much a golf ball costs, nor do I know the difference be tween a niblick and a caddy. I rare ly ever attend anything that Is swell and classy. A few nights ago, or rather not many evenings back. I was invited out. It was a re ception. X went. I got to the "function” with out trouble or mishap. Four dif ferent men and women met me at the door, and one of them grabbed my hat, and the other three almost shook my hand off I never saw so much bowing and scraping In all my life. Old Mrs, Simpleton who hadn't been able to go to church In nearly 5 years was there, and looked as gay as a sparrow at a horse show. 1 was turned loose in the ball room, commonly called the front room, I knew very few of the gen tlemen and ladles present, but 1 walked around and looked as much like u fool as possible, and they were all busy doing the same thing. Everybody was smiling and grabbing at one another, and ro one seemed at all Interested In what the other guy was saying. T tried to catch as many of the remarks as possible, and here s a bunch of them: ‘'Oh, Howdy do Mrs. Funderbunk. I am so glad to see you tonight." ‘ Why, if it Isn't Col. Sprott. Oh, Colonel, do tell me about Mrs. Sprott? Dead? Do please excuse me I am so sorry.’’ "Mrs. Doolittle, meet my husband. I am sure you know him by reputation. His greit uncle on his grand-father's .side was governor of Georgia once." “No, I do not care for her. She'; too chesty " “1 trade at Gold A. Stivers altogether. I paid them $45000 for this dress, and think it worth it," "Oh, Ddlla, do look at that fright, Mrs. Kinkhead Ain't, she the rats tail though? The idea of such trash being in vited to a party like this. What is the world coming to, nohow?" Other enlightening conversa tion was broadcasted during the evening. Then somebody began to letch around a soda cracker and a cup of some kind of tea that tasted like poke berry Juice, Tlie bowing and gassing kept up during the festivities. Every person there seemed unusually happy. Even the folks who had not paid a grocery Pill in months were swollen with frivolity and Importance. T was told by the hos tess that only the very best, peo ple of the city ever attended her parties, and I've been wondering ever since how in the world I sot there. Have You Met Him? Among Uncle Joe's other remark able traits, lie is a wonderful dis penser of gloom He is perhaps sincere in the administration of this awful affliction, and for him to Indulge in it to excessive satisfac tion. Not long ago, T was explaining to some friends that I had a tooth extracted and apparently a tiny part of my jaw-bone was left in such shape that it jutted threugn my gums and proved an Irrita tion, and Uncle Joe promptly said: “That’s the very thing that took Bro. Jim to the graveyard. That air bone caused a cancer to start and it ended him.” On another occasion, I was dis cussing the merits of a fine bird dog that I was proud of, and just as I was bragging about some of his attractive qualifications. he sat down and began to lick his lefl hind foot, and Uncle Joe said "Looky. that's a sure sign of black tongue. My best possum dog commenced to lick his hind foot that-a-way once, and by morning, he was ready to be drug off." But about the worst I ever fe't over his exploitation of facts was during an illness following a hor rible accident which overtook me when I was a boy. I was lying in bed suffering all kinds of agony, and for a few seconds, my breath ing was very heavy, and Uncle Joe began: “Well, he’s a-flxing to leave us. My grandpaw got to getting his breath just like that when he had the consumption, and in less than 20 minutes, we was laying fifty-cent pieces on his eyes to keep them shut." (I have breathed softly and gently ever since that memorable night.) During the drought of 19 and 25, when the earth was a parch ed mass of deadness, and the coun try was praying for rain, a bunch of us had Just come out of the church one Sabbath morning and the clouds were gathering all over the heavens, and we were all feeling hopeful but anxious. Un cle Joe happened to be present and he said: "Them kind of, clouds is a sure fore-runner of a | long dry spell, and they come up j that way day after day In 81, and It never rained a drap for (14 days after they finally disap peared." Aunt Minervy was flat of her back with the flu. Friends and loved ones were doing all they could for her. Everything had j been quiet in the room for 5 min utes, then Uncle Joe spoke up: ! "Well, I have just been a-wonder ing what we would do with the ' milch cow and Minervy gone. I! never could milk a squirt, and she won't be no use. And I can t cook, nuther. She shore will be missed by me if nobody else. She has been a right good wife so far, but from the way she is W'ail ing them eyes, her time ain’t long on this old earth." But it turned out that I had no cancer, nor did my bird dog die, and my heavy breathing proved a false alarm, and it rained, and Aunt Minervy got w-ell.

BLOATEDJEELING And Other Trouble* Went Away After This South Carolinian Had Taken Black-Draught. Iva, S. C.— 'l have used Black Draught, at intervals, for about five years," says Mr. J. F. Gilliland, of this place. ‘‘I take it for indigestion. “After eating, I would have a i tight, bloated feeling, and pains in my chest and stomach. I would j spit up my food, and some things I ate would not agree with me at all. “I would be hungry, but afraid to ; eat on account of the indigestion. I i would be constipated, too. “Some one told me that I should i try Black-Draught, which I did, j with good results. I take just a small dose after meals, and I feel like a different person. “I do not have any more trouble of that kind. I can now eat al most anything I want to, at any i time, and it does not hurt me. “Black-Draught is a splendid | medicine. I can recomend it to | others." | Thousands of people have found 1 relief, in cases of common indiges I tion, by taking a pinch of Black Draught after meats, and continuing I this treatment for several days.

IDEAL SERVICE STATION Phone--194 Shelby, N. C. BUILT BY BUICK Body by Fisher The motoring world has already endorsed the Marquette. "A great performer! is the comment you hear everywhere when this remarkable new six is mentioned. And no wonder —TO to 60 miles an hour in 31 seconds—over the top of a long u.6% grade at Q5 miles an hour, starting at 5 at the bottom —all in high gear. (The average road grade is 7%). 68 or 70 honest miles in comfort! There isn't a phase of performance where it can’t show a clean pair of wheels to every car in its price class. One word can say most about the Marquette—it’s "VALUE.” The Marquette with the latest Bodies by Fisher is America’s most complete moderate-priced car. It is a thoroughly better automobile for the money. Throughout this great new six in every feature, from bumper to bumper, from top to tread—there is more quality than sc err>s possible to put into a car at the price. But it is there, because Buick knows how to build an extra margin of out-and-out goodness into all its products. Drive the Marquette and you’re bound to say, with all the others, "A great performer!” BUICK MOTOR COMPANY, FI Canadian Factories Division of General Motors McLaughlm-Buick, Oshawa, Ort.
