The Cleveland Star SHELBY, N. C. MONDAY — WEDNESDAY — FRIDAY SUBSCRIPTION PRICE By Mali, per year----HM By Carrier, per year-----*380 THE STAR PUBLISHING COMPANY. INC~ lee B. WEATHERS___President and Editor a ERNEST HOEY ___Secretary and Foreman RENN DRUM --- News Editor A. D. JAMES_—_—_Advertising Manager Entered as second class matter January 1, 1908. at the postofftce At Shelby. North Carolina, under the Act of Congress. March 3. 1879. We wish to call your attention to the fact that tt la. and has been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This will be strictly adherred to. FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1029. TWINKLES Bishop Cannon, our guess is, will start campaigning for VI Smith the same year that Coolidge goes in the talkies. Summer furs are not worn so much any more. Perhaps because it is hard to find enough clothing to tack the furs to. Ye Twinkler is of the opinion that farmers have con siderably more sense than given credit for, except when we think that they still expect aid from Congress. In just a few more weeks parents will be able to de termine if their sons are likely to amount to anything. It is about that time when the collegiate football season opens. One hundred and eleven violent deaths in North Carolina in July, of which 16 were suicides, 12 were homicides, and <15 auto accidents, yet a Tar Heel shudders at the thought of visiting Chicago. In an address in his home city of Goldsboro, State Treasurer Nathan O’Berry urged the people of his state to “slow down.” Well, Mr. O’Berry, 45 stopped speeding forever last month when they were knocked off in auto accidents. A news article in a recent issue of The Star explained, by using life insurance statistics, that a man is unsafe in his own home. For fear some of the ladies read the headline and nothing more, we would add that wives were not given as the cause of this lack of safety a man has in his own home. The Rutherford News suggested that it might be a good idea for the town of Ruthefordton to drop the “ton” and make the name easier to handle, whereupon Dr. W. C. Rostic, of Forest City, came back with a pun-with-a-point, saying that it would make the county-seat name “a ton lighter.” The suggestion from Raleigh, that Cleveland county should join in with the general state-wide home-coming week in October, should be followed up by the county committee named. Cleveland has many sons and daughters scattered over the country, and it could be made a big week-end with the majority of them coming back for a visit. WANTS DEATH CHAIR JOB A DISPATCH from Raleigh informs that a North Carolina minister was one of the near 100 applicants seeking the job of State executioner—that delightful little task of turn ing the juice on those unfortunates who are roasted in the electric chair at the State prison. “1 would like to have the job," he wrote, but he added he would not take it except with certain reservations, or strings attached. One of his provisions was that he be per mitted to select the victims. The Raleigh correspondent wound up his dispatch by saying the application was refused “because he (the parson) might enjoy the job too much.” It’s right surprising to hear that North Carolina has such a tender-hearted, humane minister, who could either be serious or humorous about the death chair where the State exacts its eye for an eye, and its tooth for a tooth. Perhaps he is of that theology class which takes the eye-for-an-eye portion of the Bible as written. But glancing at the name we see that he isn’t of that class. Not hardly. He’s the same parson, Rev. Arthur Talmadge Abernethy by name, who is accused by Johnston Avery, Lenoir newspaperman, of los ing a bet in the last election and refusing to pay up by push ing a peanut with his nose up and down a Catawba county highway in the Connelly Springs section. Since that theory is exploded, about the only reason we can think of for Rev. Mr. Abernethy’s letter is that of publicity hunting. Seems as if he got his publicity. . . This may be added to th» other, if desired. ANOTHER TAR HEEL “FIRST" ^ORTH CAROLINA is “first" in another endeavor, accord ing to the New York Evening Post. The New York paper, under the heading ‘‘College Boosting,” has these re marks to offer: An interesting question is raised by an item in the Uni versity of North Carolina News Letter, which asks, “How is one to know whether we have prosperity or not ?” The question is provoked by a paradox: folks in North Carolina have talked hard times for the past year or two. Tax sales go on at the courthouse door. Real estate is sold under mortgage. The merchant says busi ness has been “punk.” The farmer complains of the boll weevil and other pests. But automobile sales mount higher and higher and that for more cash payments. The director of the motor vehicle bureau of North Caro- j lina states that about a third more automobiles have been ! sold there so far this year than were sold during the same ! period last year. He adds that, while 28 per cent of those sold a year ago were paid for in cash, this year the percent-! age of cash payments is 42. We cannot explain the paradox Dicked up by the News ! Letter, but we seize the occasion it presents to suggest that several universities might profitably imitate the University of North Carolina in reference to publicity. A panic-stricken cry for help goes up annually or oftener from these universi ties. Can’t we do something to advertise our football team better? How can we tell the world about the marvels of the new swimming pool? Questions like these agitate persons who feel the ultimate destiny of the institution resting heavily upon their shoulders. Meanwhile the University of North Carolina goes quietly on, issuing every week a one-page publication, the News Let ler, which has very little to say about the university, has a great deal to say about North Carolina—not “boosting” the state, but rather informing its residents how the state is do ing, in which ways it has improved, what it. ought to do to improve still more. What better advertisement for a university could there be than a publication like this—a publication showing that those connected with the institution, far from being immers ed in matters of only academic interest, know their state from A to Z in all its activities, agricultural, commercial, financial, as no other group can pretend to know it and are able to speak with authority in reference to them? Some notion of this fact, however, fragmentary, must create a deeper and stronger pride in a university and bring a greater supnort than all th# ballyhoo concerning winning athletic teams that can be let loose. Book List For Shelby Schools Books for use in the Shelby schools are now on' sale at T. W. Ebel toft's store. The only changes from last year are readers and spellers in the elementary schools and some of the high school texts. If a pupil has been classified or promoted to a certain grade, It will be safe to purchase books second-hand or from the dealer.

Every detail o~f its design makes for EASIEST CLEAN INC SPOTLESS, gleaming white —the General Electric Refrigerator looks its part— guardian of the family food • • • and the family health. And, because of its special design, it actually is as uni. Ury and clean as it looks. All the inside comers of the cabinet are rounded. You know how easy that makes cleaning. And the chilling chamber is so designed that you can easily clean all around it. Housewives who pride themselves on being "fussy” have commented favorably on this fact. And they like having the cabinet up on legs, for that gives them plenty of broom-room underneath. Because the entire mech anism of the General Electric Refrigerator is hermetically sealed in a steel casing, it is dust-proof and safe from difficulties. See the all-steel models and find out about conveniently spaced payments. "Every General Electric Refriierator la Hermetically Sealed."
