Discusses Giving Water And Lights To City Officers Statesville Daily. It was something of a custom n Shelby to give all city officials and employes free lights and water (from the municipal owned utilities) and to pay out of public funds for their ;elephone service. That, it is learn ed from The Star, caused much criticism from time to time. The present municipal administration has abolished all bonuses. The hire lings are paid a straight salary and they have to pay for what they get, same as other folk?. By way of com pensation there was a slight raise in salaries to make up for the bonus, whereupon some say that it Is six of one and a half dozen of the other. But it isn't. The free service is wrong in principle and is subject to abuse. The human dis position is to waste what doesn’t cost anything. And the idea that all officials and public employes are en titled to special privileges over oth er people simply because of tneir public employment is pernicious, un wholesome. It is not business in the public service to pay part in kind It encourages the beneficiary to take more than is coming to him. to use the public property as his own and make frCe with its use for the benefit of his friends.

AUGUST 30, 1929. The Model "A” Ford has again proved beyond all doubt that it is the most economical car on the market today. One of the largest companies in the United States bought a Model “'A” Ford and put it on the road as a test car to determine the actual op erating expense. In eight months this car was driven 110,214 miles and the total operating expense was $1,665.48. This includes gas, oil, grease, and repairs. We have figured out the total cost per mile and it amounts to $.01511. We will be glad to give you the name of the company and all of the particulars if you will come ih and ask us about it. ■A school teacher had been at tempting to drill a class of little negroes to memorize, “Be not afraid, it is I.” Teacher (on the following day) “Sam, what was the quotation I taught you yesterday?” Sam: "Don’t git skeered, t aint nobody but me.” We recently delivered Mr. Hes ter Palmer his second Model “A” Ford. The last one was a Sport Roadster. 'Tommy, can you tell me one of the uses of cowhide?' “Er, yessir. It keeps the cow together.” Husband (in car): ‘Great heavens. The engine is terribly overheated." Wife (in back seat): “Then why don't you turn off the ra diator?" Don’t forget the Genuine 13 plate Ford battery when cold weather knocks out your old one. It will fit 80 per cent of ,all of the cars made. Mr. Ben Jenkins came down thfc other day and took a new Model "A” Tudor Sedan home with liim. We also delivered Mr. Wyatt Stanley. Route 5, Shelby, a New Model “A” Tudor Sedan. The New Model “A” Ford has the four paramount requirements of an automobile. Beauty. Per formance, ECONOMY and Com fort. We will welcome compari son. The judge admonished the pris oner thus: "I cannot conceive of a meaner, more cowardly act than yours. You have left your wife. Do you realize that you are a deserter?” Prisoner: •'Well, judge, if you knew dat lady as well as I docs, you sure wouldn’t call me no de serter. I’se a refugee.” We have delivered the follow ing a New Model "A” within the last few days: Mr. Yates Spangler, Route 8, Shelby, Sport Coupe. Mr. Z. N. Hamrick, Route j 5, Shelby. Phaeton.

Surgeon: “X feel duty bound to tell you that four out of five pa tients die under this operation. Now, is there anything that you would like for me to do for you before I begin?” Colored Patient: “Yassuh, kind ly hand me my hat.” One m£h recently remarked that some girls use dumbbells to get color on their faces and some use color on their faces to get dumbbells. It certainly is a poor rule that won't work both ways. Po not hesitate to give us a ring if you are the least bit skep tical about any statement made in this column rejardfng the New Ford. CHAS. L.
