North Carolina, under the Act or Congress, March S. 1879 We wish to call your attention to the fact that It Is. and has been our custom to charge rive cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards ot thanlcs and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published.

FRIDAY, JULY-T‘iT 1029 TWINKLES ^ Somethini? for the sporting public of the city and coun 1y to look forward to. with pleasure: The opening of the county baseball league next Saturday. If the government carries out a program of scrapping many of its cruisers it may be paving the way for permitting Home other foreign power to scrap the remainder of them for us- wtf ;.:r _ A woman is reported to have separated Gene Tunney from $62,000 for breaking her heart. Many women would he willing to suffer a broken heart for that amount of money, or even half of it. An exchange tells us that there is no Solomon in the United States senate. Not only are we firmly convinced of that but we do not believe that anyone in the senate was ever bitten by Solomon’s dog. j Reports say the corn crop in this section appears to be unusually fine, but. this is not taken to indicate that there will be any improvement in the quality of the bottled var iety, nor will the price be much cheaper. i Of course in this day of bustle and hurry the actual time of the day may not be so important, but it is probable that the visiting public here might appreciate it if something could be done about inducing the clock in the top of the court house to function. An ice wagon driver in New York estimates that he has driven far enough in 34 days to complete a trip around the world, but unfortunately he fails to give us any idea as to how many^pounds of ice he gypped his customers out of dur ing that period. C. AT LARGE C^OME newspaper syndicate writer conducts a column in the daily newspapers under the title, ‘A New Yorker at Large.’ With all due respect to the column, which by the way is pret ty good at times, it has been our experience that a New York er at large is about the most credulous human being in the world. He probably knows all there is to know about "Great er Manhattan” but he knows just about nothing at all re garding things out of New York. The skyline there is the breadth of his vision. j^jR. John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic party, is not overly popular with the Democrats of the South and some of them attribute to him, in some measure, the over whelming defeat experienced at the polls last November. Be that as it may, Mr. Raskob has demonstrated on several oc casions that he has plenty of common sense and in his fol lowing utterance he said something worthy of the considera tion of every man, woman and child in the country, Demo crat or Republican: "The people are so beset with the idea of acquiring wealth in this day that they are losing the fine spirit of patriotism enjoyed in the early days.” 1 • The soundness of that sentiment can hardly be denied. rJ'HI3 newspaper is not in position to judge of the truth of the report, but rumors have it in Washington that Presi dent Hoover and Attorney General Mitchell are giving seri ous consideration to the matter of appointing R. L. Vann, a Pittsburgh negro, as assistant attorney general of the Unit ed States. The all-Southern Hoover-for-President Anti-Smith at any price voters of North Carolina may find a considerable degree of satisfaction in reading this rumor and awaiting the appointment of the negro to the high post in question, but th* real Democrat of North Carolina will take satisfaction in re flecting that he stuck to his party. A1 Smith might, and probably would . have appointed some Catholics to high office, but it is not to be credited that he would have considered a negro for such position. NOT TO BE DENIED. V ti k. NOW WHAT OF THAT? COULD NOT LET GO. QNCE upon a time a man caught hold of a bear and then w could not turn loose and it appears that Mrs. Helen K. Morton, & wealthy woman of San Francisco finds herself in same fix. She has at last gratified her ambition to own .island but now since she has acquired such unusual prop she is seeking the assistance of the public in defermin chat to do with it. Mrs. Morton says to newspaper men, owned an island before and am quite frankly unde rhat to do with it.” £he lady needs any suggestions from North Carolina, would like to rush in with the idea that she estab le island a home for the Great Moral Uplifters of \y, with especial reference to Tar Heelia, and if she that gentry assembled on the island, it would be tare a permanent quarantine or embargo so that mave to remain in isolation so far as the remain re concerned for the rest of their natural lives. AN ENCOURAGING REPORT. /! \JGRTH Carolinians will learn with pleasure, and particul arly those in this immediate section of the state that the unfinished Fleetwood hotel on top of the mountains near Hendersonville, now appears to be facing a brighter future. Russell B. Smith, who on behalf of himself and assoc iates in New York, is negotiating the purchase of the tower ing structure, has announced reception of the title survey j and says he is well pleased. The title represents the unfinished hotel and all ad joining property and all awaited before proceeding to com- j plete the transaction is certification of title to Mr. Smith, j ind this was to have been forwarded to the New York buyer i Monday. Funds sufficient to complete the building have i >cen available for several weeks, Mr. Smith intimated. Shelby people will hear this encouraging news with j pleasure. More and better hotels in this section will bring more people to this portion of North Carolina, and as Hen dersonville and Asheville prosper, so in some measure will Shelby and other towns in this section reap benefits to some extent.. It is to be hoped that the Fleetwood is to be pushed to completion and the "nancial problems which have beset it may be solved. AN AWFUL FATE. ■yHE awfulness of the fate that awaits Rate King has dawmed upon us citizens of Shelby who have been ac quainted with him all his life and accustomed to seeing him on the streets of Shelby. While it is not within the province of this newspaper to say that the verdict of the South Caro lina jury was just or unjust, we do shudder to think of the fate that awaits him and the hearts of Shelby people bleed for him and especially his aged parents. His frail mother will no doubt go to a premature grave because of a broken heart. The dreadful verdict was a surprise to Shelby peo ple. Those who thought the evidence justified a verdict of gguilty, felt that mercy or manslaughter would be the limit Those who thought the evidence wfas not conclusive enough to warrant any punishment at all are more astounded to think that a young man of good family, one who has been a peace able, quiet fellow all his life, shudder to think that he faces such an awful fate. Men and women lay awake at night in wonder and awe. When civilization advances, capital punishment will be abolished. Of course punishment should he meted out to violators of the law, but the time will come when the state will not demand a life for a life. Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— (Exclusive in The Star In this section.) Farm Relief "a la Hoover" has arrived. It ramp In the form ,-f much money to be loaned to the farmers who have the right kind of collateral to offer through their respective marketing associations Uncle Joe says he exported the government to give him something, and not just lend him something. But. It will be several years yet before anybody understands what the meaning of this relief bill is. 'o. folks.

They would still have the wealth ef the country at their finger tips. Cotton Letter. New York, July 11.—Probable showers and acreage abandonment reduced the demand for cell mon ey, hence the sharp decline m spots when Liverpool came in higher than due The tone of the nearby months seemed easy, but the bulls continued to strad dle when November shimmied around 19 cents.

But he bought him a pair of overalls and a box ot axle grease and “grez” himself all over so 3 he would look like a mechanician, and got a job in a garage at "5 cents per hour, not counting the time he worked on other folks' cars while he was working on mine, but the owner of the shop got that. Mrs. O. I. Bluff is the best bridge player in this country. While her husband was at home cooking his dinner yesterday evening, she won a pot plant, and just, last Wednes day while he was trying to take care of their sick baby by himself, she out-played 3 different tables, and besides toting off all honors, she was awarded a silver cigarette holder She missed 2 of the 19 par ties in her community which were held Friday and Saturday. She never woke up in time to go to them. A man who claims to be 82 years i old. and says Tennessee Is his home, never saw a bath-tub until one day last week, and then he thought it was a grave vault turned bottom-side up.
