Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM A MAN WHO HAS BEEN PLACES AND SEEN THINOS WAS talking about Shelby the other day after having given the town several onre-ovrrs. I "It’s one of the mast progressive, growing little cities I've ever seen,” he said. "And generally speaking I know of no other place which equals tins town, but there is one thing which puzzles me the more I think sfout. it: What is wrong with your schools? There isn’t a town of any consequence in my acquaintance which has a poorer high school binding and equipment. Shelby’s schools seem far behind Shelby. I know of towns nothing like so large or so prosperous which have school buildings resembling colleges in 1 comparison to your buildings here. | Many of the outstanding leaders ' in the country today—ministers, statesmen and writers—are Shelby products, and I'm wondering if such can possibly be the case 20 years from now considering your lack of attention to educational matters. What’s the matter?”, he queried In conclusion. This department leaves the an swer to someone else, while it dodges the shots of those who say “such things shouldn’t be printed, t»veo, K they are true, Somebody mighvread about it.'' ‘ THERE ARE SEVERAL FEL fcWla Wee Charlie Hubbard, the Georgian, who contend this colyum would be more readable U more of Was borrowed.

In describ ing the bride's wedding outfit (everybody had to guess what the groom wore, as usual) the socle*y reporter wrote: "Her blouse of egg shell matched the handsome fox fur which completed the costume" Great Guns! Alligator Wings! Whoopee! And Whatnot! Who said that a minister never gets thrjlls in life? SHELBY SHORTS: AN OB servant reader informs, in answer to the colyum's query, that ‘‘Etta Kett” who sends those peeleaboo verses from Shelby to Harold Brown's Wayside column in the Charlotte Observer is none other than Miss Marietta Hoyle. Now somebody please reveal the identity of "Tute of Lawndale," and those other verse writers who keep old Wayside chattering and jabbering. Horace Origg. the county school head, has a motto on his wall which urges “Keep Smiling." Seems as if he needs It: tint’s a place where a delegation or fathers will come in this morning and demand desks, blackboards and other sup plies, which cost money, and in the afternoon many of the same group will return and demand that school taxes be lowered.

"Cooler hunting" Is the newest sport with the hunters about Shelby, but a good many folks, never having heard of the sport, are afraid to inquire about it, fearing that it is something like going out to bag a snipe. . . This is the season of the year, a banker tells us, that the fel low who knows how to save monev goes to the clothing stores and purchase summer suits and hats for next year at half price.

Hamrick, former police chief, talking to a fellow who still thinks he's young (the writer); "You’ll never live to see another Demo cratic president.” And the speaker was one of those Democrats who never scratched in his life, and never will. That** tough on us guys who know no better than to hope that some day. somehow, a regular fellow like A1 will shuffle up the White House walk. THE JUDGE HAD JUST CHARG ed the Jury In a home brew case, re lates Eugene Ashcraft in the Mon roe Enquirer. "Is there any question any jury man would like to ask before con sidering the evidence?" the judge added. “There’s a couple of us Jurymen, your honor,” began one of the Jurors, "who would like to know if the de fendant boiled the malt one or two hours, and how does he keep the yeast out?” One way to abolish wars for all time would be to agree to postpone the next war until the World War debts are all paid,—Nashville South ern Lumberman.

Be Choice Of The Democrats ■ New York Governor Ha* A*sels For Reuniting Split Tarty Rank*. Washington. — Republicans of Washington who have kept an eye j on Franklin D. Roosevelt since he became governor of New York are ! inclining more strongly than ever to the belief that he will be the Democratic nominee for president .r. 1932. Privately, they concede that he is making good as governor, and has done nothing to jeopardise his popularity In the Empire state. They comment, too, on the fact that incidents of his administration-, indicate that Governor Roosevelt :s squinting in the direction of the drys. He has never been ^ pro nounced wet. His alleged increasing dryness doubtless is a source of great joy to his wife who is an out and out dry, though she was an ar dent supporter of Governor Smith in 1928. Another thing that has impressed Republican observers is that Gov ernor Roosevelt's health does not appear to have suffered. At, the be ginning of his administration there was some doubt whether he could stand the physical strain which the office imposes on the occupant at Albany. Were Roosevelt's health to break, he would automatically be eliminated as a presidential candi date. Aside from the lameness caus ed by an attack of infantile paraly sis some years ago, Governor Roose velt's general health is reported to be excellent. He recently travelled 8,500 miles inspecting the barge canal and state institution of New York, and endured the hardships of travel as well as any other member of his party. information from New York is that Governor Roosevelt was receiv ed warmly everywhere on this trip. Friends insist that he is stronger up-state, in the Republican section, than he has ever been. Another significant development is the public announcement of New York Democratic leaders this week that Governor Roosevelt will be a candidate for reelection next year, and will be renominated without doubt. If he is elected in 1930 to succeed himself he will occupy the same strategic position that Gov ernor Smith occupied in 1928. In the presidential campaign year 1932 he will occupy the position of governor of the state which casts 45 electoral votes. At this time Governor Roosevelt Is quoted by his closest friends as saying that he is not a candidate for president, and does not propose to do anything to further such can didacy. He announces that if re elected he will continue to devote himself to the duties of governor. Washington commentators, wheth er Democratic or Republican, near ly all discount the talk of Governor Smith being the nominee in 1932. It is the very prevalent belief here that no situation will arise whirli would encourage an effective pre convention campaign for Smith. Observers cannct get away from the idea that 1928 permanently sidc t.arked the foimer New York gov c- or so far as the presidency is concerned. The present control and direction of the Democratic party machinery is in the hands of men to whom Roosevelt probably would be thor ougly acceptable Mr. Raskob holds on to the national chairmanship and gives no sign of retiring from that office. Mr. Shouse. his personal selection for chairman of the execu tive committee. is actively !n charge of headquarters in Wash ington, directing publicity, which Is on a large scale The majority of the members of the national com mittee are generally considered to be friendly to Chairman Raskob. though there have been suggestions here and there that on a showdown sufficient anti-Raskob sentiment might develop to bring about the retirement of the present chairman. Southern Democrats for the most part appear to believe that the south would support Franklin Rccsevelt for president, even the states that turned against Governor Smith last year. Roosevelt is an educated man. who would appeal to many voters whc developed pre judiced against Smith on account of his idiosyncrasies of speech and colloquial manner on the platform. Nor is It to be forgotten that Roose velt is a Protestant, where Governor Smith is a CathVic. Dog Lives For Month Minus Food, Water Cornv&llls, Mont.—Speaking of camels— The pet Aierdale dog of Mr and Mrs. Ed Bay spent a full month without food or water and lived to utter a feeble bark when his owners arrived to rescue him. The dog was accidentally locked in the house when the Bays left for a month’s vacation. When they re turned they found the dog in the house nearly dead from starvation. The dog recovered.
