Around Our TOWN
Shelby SIDELIGHTS
By RENN DRUM
A negro man, nearing the half century mark, sitting over in the
court room here yesterday listening to evidence in his preliminary hear
ing on a charge of muder, various expressions flitting across his furrow
ed and ginger-colored brow, proved to us a theory we have held for years
—that the people of the negro race have vivid imaginations despite the
general belief that they do not. I-——
The negro's name was Cliff Ful
lenwider niuJTie killed hit young
.rother-Ml-law Sunday afternoon in
Uo^rtfd of a colored church not far
distant from Shelby. But names
ind details matter little in our ar
gument, w hich is to show that col
ored people do have minds which,
fortunately or unfortunately, can
'oncelve more imaginary things
han can the minds of their white
irettiren. Perhaps the average
nentality of the race is low, but,
nevertheless, the imagination is
here and it does not restrict itself
,o union hours in working.
To recall all the superstitious
ghost stories related by and told tn
connection with members of the
Slack race It Is hard to understand
how anyone has ever delivered the
opinion that "a colored man has no
Imagination.” Ofet, right often you
hear some one say, in referring to
thr happy-go-lucky life colored peo
ple appear to live, “they have no
Imagination; they never think about
tomorrow and they do not know
what worry is.”
That's all bologney. If you ask us,
or if you do a bit of observing O'l
your own part.
Any mind that can picture ghorts,
apparatlons and specters can vision
other things.
In our memory not a single col
ored slayer has been placed in the
county Jail, down where East War
ren atreet runs Into Jones Place,
who has not- during his first night
in a cell visioned the face or voice
of hts victim. Pew of them sleep
more than an hour at a stretch for
tho first few nights.
It was that W'ay with Cliff Ful
lenwtder. His brow filled with
troubled furrows, and his half
frightened brown eyes darting about
the court room Tuesday morning
were ample proof. Yet he told offi
cers at the Jail what might be
termed further proof of the ima
gination of the negTo mind.
"All night long I heard him (the
man he shot) walking about in the
sand." he said. The churchyard
where the killing took place was
sandy, but there Is no sand on the
floors down In the county jail. Such
was the cruel working of Fullen
wlder's Imagination Sunday and
Monday nights in jail that he not
only could hear the footsteps in tihe
sand but his mental worries so un
strung his three colored cellmates
that they. too. were unable to sleep
and began to picture apparitions
of their own
Still some people will tell you
that a colored mnn has no Imagina
tion. It's pure bunk. They may be
able to brush away money worries
and other such troubles of life as
the white man brushes the cobwebs
out of his eyes on the morning rft
er, but wherein dead people and
spooks are concerned the negro has
an Imagination from which great
novels might come had they the
proper education and atmosphere
for the work.
Not being versed in psychology
we cannot explain what appears vo
be the Irrefutable declaration that
the reason the negro race is satis
fied under existing conditions is be
cause they have no imagination and
cannot vision to themselves what
they might be or might have been
Despite that we contend that they
do have mentalities capable of vi
sioning things In their mind—and
they may be satisfied with life as
it is. We do not know, for no one
can tell what is going on behind
those faces laughing in care-f ee
style one moment, and closing up
into a frosen stoical expression the
next which cannot be read.

Johnny Hudson is coming home
from Maryland soon on his vaca
tion. Wonder where Johnny's old
gang, which once hung out at Bill
Riviere’s drug store, has scattered
to? Some of 'em are here, others
are everywhere. Ikey Oriffin, one
of the bunch, is over In Constanti
nople, and most of the others, like
Johnny, have married.The
ambitions of the barefodt hoy>
change with their heroes. Once was
nearly every youth just breaking
into his teens wanted to be a fire
man. or a policeman, or a railroad
engineer. Now they want to be
aviators, golfers who can win the
junior Carolbias crown, or ball
players like Babe Ruth and Cline
Cline Lee In another year or so
the next generation of youngsters
will have other ambitions.
Shelby is growing up and before
long it may become a man-sized
city. Just yesterday we heard one
of the old line citizens complain
ing about the noise “Guess I’ll htive
to move out where it's quirt. Can’t
hear anything In town any more
except buzzing traffic bells, squeak
ing auto brakes, big motor trucks
with tho exhausts open, hammering
and banging". Isn't there
some law about closed mufflers on
trucks and motor cars?
FOR FEAR YOU HAVEN’T EN
joyed yourself, try reading this one
about the $5,000 dodge (not Dodge,
Mr. Litton):
A young Indian. suddenly oil
rich, bought a $5,000 automobile and
drove away. The next day he wi s
back at the sales agency, footsore,
walking with a ltmp. and his head
bandaged
This was his explanation: *
"Drive out big car; buy gallon
moonshine; take big drink, step on
gas. Trees and fences heap fast.
See big bridge coming down road.
Turn out to let bridge go by. Bang!
Car gone. Gimme 'nother one."
Barking Dogs Beats Fire.
Glendale. Cal.—Mr. and Mrs. N.
W. Morrow recently were being
urged to put in a claim to the Lea
gue lor Recognition ol Dumb He
roes—if there is such an institution
—in behalf of Napoleon Bonapaite,
their Boston bull terrier.
The community has not yet ceas
ed sounding the praises of the little
canine for the "horse sense" he dis
played in barking a fire alarm that
saved the Morrow home on East
Bennett avenue from more serious
damage. As it was the kitchen was
destroyed, but only, perhaps, be
cause it took Napoleon several
minutes to make the Morrows un
derstand what he meant when he
set up a commotion after discover
ing the blaze.
When Mr. Morrow finally arose
and followed Napoleon, he extingu
ished the fire with a garden hase.

found Cardul to be of the greatest
benefit to me. I was seriously 111

not bear the least noise around me.
I could not sleep.
“My head ached until it seemed

tired all the time. When I was up.
I dragged around the house, but
most of the time X spent on the bed.
"I got Cardul and began taking it
regularly. Very soon I could see
that it was helping me. I began to
sleep better and eat more. The
awful nervousness got better.
“When I had finished the first

Men From Cabin Doors.
i By S. Frontis.)
Wc boast about our modern schools
And methods up to date,
And all these new tangled ways
About which teachers prate;
And point with pride to buildings
Where they teach all sorts of love,
But they don’t turn out the schol
ars
That came from cabin doors.
The fundamentals are not taught
As they used to be.
They’re out of dale as much today
As the "Rule of Three.”
There's too much haste to cover
ground.
The fact wc all deplore,
To ever turn such scholars out
As came from cabin doors.
Pupils pass from book to book
With a hop, skip, and a jump
And the books that are discarded
Are cast uside as junk.
They didn’t have the time to get
The contents therein stored,
Like those who studied fewer books
Behind the cabin doors.
It takes deep plowing to conserve
The moist ure for the crop.
It takes time and study to absorb
Text books now days taught.
This skimming of the surface.
And neglecting of the core.
Cannot produce such learned men
As came from cabin doors.
I grant the course is broader,
More subjects now are taught.
But they skim o’er them so quickly
They're very soon forgot.
And the graduates are counted,
Not by dozens but by scores,
But they haven’t had the training
Of the men from cabin doors.
"A little learning's dangerous,”
The poet truly said.
While Festus said to 'postle Paul
‘‘Much learning makes thee mad. ’
However much or little
Our teachers now may know.
They don’t turn out the scholars
That came from cabin doors.
Yet their salaries quadruple
Those of thirty years ago.
And the school books of a ten years
old
Will number half a score.
Taxes loo are higher than
They ever were before.
But does the produce equal that
Turned out from cabin doors?
Sonic teachers now attempt to teach
That God evolved a man.
From monkeys he'd created
'Fore the human race began;
They may preach their monkev
doctrine /
From the mountains to the shores
But they'll never change the minds
of those
Who came from cabin doors.
INVENTS ACTO JACK
TO WORK BY Bt'TTON
Blowing Rock —A pneumatic jack
attached to the axles of an auto
mobile, by means of which the
driver of the car can lift any wheel
or all four at once without leaving
his seat is the invention of G. E.
Coffey, mechanic of Blowing Rock
In actual tests in a Blowing
Rock garage, the Jack lifted more
than 1,100 pounds, and one me
chanic said* that under proper con
ditions with an air pressure of 150
pounds the Jack should easily lift
2.000 pounds.
Mr. Coffey has applied for a
patent on the device and has re
ceived his serial number from the
patent office.

Copeland’s HEALTH TALK
0 Skin Cleanliness
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. t>.
(United States Senator and former Health Commissioner of
New York)
(Inquiries may be addresed to Dr. Copeland, care The Star, Shelby,
N. C. If you desire a personal reply, enclose a stamped envolepo.e ad
dressed back to you.)
DR COPELAND—Inside
Everybody wants a clear skin and envies one. It is natural to survey
the face and hands of a new acquaintance. We learn a lot by the ap
pearance of the skin and the care given the finger nails and knuckles.
. w. curuAtu
x couia numoer several persons 01 iny ac
quaintance who seem never to clean the finger
nails and yet they would be mortified to death to
have a breaking out an the chin. Others have
,;mny knuckles, but would stay home to avoid
showing a pimple ofl the nose.
It Is a far more common thing to neglect .he
hands than the face. This is really too bad because
much depends on the care of the hands. Soiled
nands, dirty nails, fissured fingers—all these car
ry germs of disease.
Not long ago we read about a girl who was
«id to be the victim of a fatal blood poisoning
from the use of a lipstick. I have no inclination
to defend too vigorously the use of cosmetics, but
I take no stock in the suggestion that the lipstick
was to blame. Undoubtedly the infection came
Hum tiic 1lingers.
Think of all the things you touch with your hands every day. You
cannot avoid contact with contaminated objects. Somebody coughs or
sneezes into his hand and while it is still wet he turns a door knob, leav
mg germ iaaen moisture tor the
next visitor to capture.
Neglect of the hands and finger
nails result in tears of the cuticle,
hangnails, raw fissures and other
broken surfaces which may be the
gateway for the entrance of bad
germs. It Is a mistake to neglect
the hands.
A woman shows her age by her
hands long before her face tells the
story. For cosmetic reasons then, as
well as for health’s sake, the hands
should be carefully attended.
A common blemish of the hands
is the presence of a wart or a clus
ter of warts. Boys are lucky if they
escape having them. At certain ages
particularly between ten or eleven
and seventeen, they are frequency
observed^ They are not serious in
youth, but in advanced life they
are liable to break down into malig
nancy.
It does not pay to neglect !ht
hands. They should be kept to per
fect condition and can be with
little care.

2.—Is it wise to force children tc
eat?
A.—Yes, this treatment has prov -
en to be very effective in many in
stances. Have your doctor advise
