SIDES SOLDIER HAS
WAR-LIKE CAREER
(Special to The Star.)
Our hearts go out to Mr. and Mrs.
Boyce Crocket in their recent loss
of their little four months old baby.
It seerr>A that Mr. Arthur H. Sides
is the /host war-like man in our
community. His whole life has been
centered around wars. He was born
in March 1898, one month before
the Spanlsh-Ameriran war began
In 1915 he went to Mexico wfh
company F of Spartanburg then, he
was called in April of 1917 to France
to fight for his country. Across the
seas he staypd and fought until
peace was declared. We were glad
to have a warrior from our com
munity represented in the parade
Tuesday. No doubt the sight of a
soldier must bring back the sound
of many a bugle call and mary
other horrible sounds arid sights to
him. We know he could tell us many
an Interesting war story.

Intangibles Listed.
The tax supervisor of Stokes
county seems to have hit upon a I
practical method of getting solvent j
credits listed for taxation. He in- '
structs the list-takers to require |
every property owner to list his in
debtedness in detail. Every bill,
chattel mortgage. or other debt
must be listed Since one man’s
debt is another man's credit, it is
possible to reach and tax the credi
tor in this manner. The tax super
' visor goes over each list to see that
items listed as debts, or credits
against other intangible, on one
abstract are listed as debts. or
credits against other intangible
property on the other man's ab
stract. Whenever the tax super
visor finds that a paper or account
has not been listed he calls on the
owner to list it. After dealing with
the tax supervisor for several
years the people have learned that
solvent credits must be listed as
faithfully as land. Thus the tax
books of Stokes county show a larger
percentage of solvent credits than
the tax books of many counties
which have enjoyed more prosperity
than Stokes.—E. A. Terry.

Washington.—-Here in Washing
ton is a remarkable community, a
city by itself virtually under ft single
roof, where families of cabinet mem
bers, senators. diplomats, high
priced lobbyists and social celebri
ties live and play among themselves
the year around. There is nothing
like it nnywhere else in America or,
presumably, in the world.
One refers to the Wardman Park
hotel, which, with its new addition
and annexes and grounds covers
14 acres and houses about 3.000
souls. With its great lobbies and
porches, broad and long, and its re
i creational facilities, this plant be
comes just about the most attrac
tive spot in Washington ii*summer
time. It would be a favorite spot for
tourists who like to see how the
so-called great live and enjoy them
selves if it were not rather off the
beaten path, a couple of miles out
Connecticut avenue Just beyond the
mtllion-dollar bridge across Rock
Creek.

This is the scene of some of the
capital's most fashionable public

New Commander Of
Veterans Praised
Many Shelby people had the
pleasure of meeting Capt. Henry W.
Edmonds of Charlotte, new com
mander of the North Carolina Unit
ed Spanish war veterans, while the
recent convention was in this city
and all these were delighted with
the affable army officer. The fol
lowing editorial utterance from The
Charlotte Observer will be read here
with some interest:
"The election of Capt. Henry W.
Edmonds to be commander for the
ensuing year of the United Spanish
'war veterans. North Carolina de
partment, brings to Charlotte the
state headquarters of this organiza
tion* Captain Edmonds has not yet
named his adjutant and other ap
pointive'officers, but the adjutant
also in all probability will be a
Charlotte man, as the closest co
operation is necessary between this
officer and the commander in the
conduct of the business of the or
ganization.
"The election of Captain Edmonds
was not accomplished in any hap
hazard manner. The signs have
been pointing steadily toward this
culmination for many months. In
his capacity as National Guard in
structor, Captain Edmonds has had
occasion to visit every section of
the state. Everywhere he goes he
inquires about the welfare of Span
ish war veterans, and organizes new
camps wherever it is possible. It Is
largely through the efforts of
Captain Edmonds that the state de
partment boitsts so healthy an in
crease during the past year.
"Captain Edmonds is a World war
veteran as well as a Spanish war
veteran, but the latter organization
is and has always been very dear to
his heart. Captain Edmonds enter
ed the service as an enlisted man
in the Spanish American war. and
rose steadily through the inter
mediate grades until he had earned
his commission. It is because of
this early service that his comrades
of the Spanish American war are
very dear to hts heart. He is also
a member of the American Legion.
"The selection of Captain Ed
monds to head the Spanish war
veterans brings to Charlotte a dis
tinction of note. The work of the
North Carolina department during
the last year has merited recogni
tion from the national organization.
It is becoming known at national
headquarters as one of the promis
ing departments in the nation.
Charlotte, as the seat of state head
quarters, will witness quite a lot of
activity during the coming year. The.
Spanish war veterans stand for
everything looking to the uplift of
the community, the state and the
nation. Chase Adams camp, which
is the Charlotte unit, proposes to
take an active part in all civic and
municipal enterprises."
Young Lady Rides
With ‘Chute’ Flier
Miss Emily York, a local telephone
operator, was given a free ride In
the plane from which Jess Exum,
parachute artist with the Mabel
Cody flying circus, made his final
leap Tuesday afternoon, closing the
stay of the circus in this city.
Miss York is the second young
lady to be given the opportunity
to ride wdth the flier tn the machine
from which the jump is made, the
explanation being that the de
partment of commerce frowns upon
the practice, since there is always
a possibility that the jumper will
foul his “chute” in the plane.
Notwithstanding the fact that
this was Miss York's first trip in an
airplane, she was not excited and
said she enjoyed the experienre very
much.

Says Dry Laws
Prove Success
Lake Junaluska.—National pro
hibition has been a reasonable suc
cess and only needs a tair trial to
achieve full success, according to Dr
Ernest Cherrlngton, of Westerville,
O., secretary of the World League
against alcohol.
Dr. Cherrlngton told members of
the board of temperance and social
service of the Methodist church,
South, that it will take as long to
complete prohibition in the United
States as it may be necessary for
education to do its work among the
people.
"The beverage alcohol problem
will be solved only as sentiment for
the righteousness of the cause of
prohibition is created," the secretary
said.
Bishop James Cannon, president
and other members of the board :f
temperance also have arrived here.
The temperance board and social
service was in session through July
7, and mark the official opening of
the season. Reading of the annual
report of General Secretary E. L.
Crawford was the main event of the
opening session
Among the summer arrivals are
two notable groups of young pco
pe, 300 Epworth leaguers from West
ern North Carolina and 300 stud
ents in Duke summer school here.
Cline Owens Lee Is
Over The .300 Figure
Cline Owens Lee, Shelby high
school baseball star, who Is engag
ed in the pleasant pastime of show,
ing up some of the veterans of tho
Southeastern league, while playing
second base for the Columbus, Ga.,
club of that league, has again
passed the .300 mark in his batting
average, his exact figure for today
being .307.
The Shelby youth, in Wednesday’s
game between Columbus and Jack
sonville, obtained two hits out of
two trips to the plate and also
participated in one double play. He
was not scored with the other two
times at bat because one time he
sacrificed and the other time he drew
a free pass to first base. Columbus
won from Jacksonville by a score
of 3 to 2 and incidentally it might
be remarked that Joe Poetz, former
Charlotte pitcher, did the flinging
for the Tars.
