In it will likely he packed one of the most entertaining days this sec tion has enjoyed in six years. “Figures Reveal More Girls Go To High School,” informs a Charlotte News headline. Which also might he taken to mean, we suppose, that figures which reveal such things are also figures which are pretty well revealed. Reports from Hickory state that a big percentage of the student body of Lenoir Rhyne college will be in Shelby to morrow for the Lenoir Rhyne-P. C. football game. It, is likely, too, that a number of Presbyterian college students will ac company their eleven to Shelby for the section’s first college grid contest. The rah-rah boys and girls (Lenoir Rhyne i* coeducational) will be something new for Shelby, but out hope for big college games in the future depends upon how we turn out for this first game and what manner of recep tion we give the young collegians. A newspaper, say we, which gets it in the neck from both sides of a controversy, or even at different angles from the same side, is, nine times out of ten, a paper which can he relied on to get things straight. While the Gastonia Gazette and Charlotte Observer were praising the New York World, about that paper's editorial and reportorial handling of the Gaston textile disturbances, the Charlotte News was term ing the World “Guttersnipish" for an editorial condemning kidnaping and killing by mobs. A special writer for the World said that mob rule was not in power in Gaston and an editorial advised the Communists to get away from this section. Those angles brought praise, but when the World said that things were not just as they should be in Gaston, although advising the Communists to leave, the criticism came. NO WHIPPING NEEDED BUT NEED PROPER LAWS THE STAR could not have been serious, argues the Raleigh New* and Observer, when it said that while flogging is In the vogue some of our lawmakers, who have failed to give Us proper laws dealing with labor and labor agitation, should be taken out and whipped, for says the Raleigh paper “Any man who is whipped by a mob is the wrong man.” Yet the News and Observer agrees that our lawmakers have failed to give us some of the laws we need. Says that paper: “Still The Star chooses an emphatic way to say what thoughtful men are saying, to-wit: that legislators have failed to pass laws tending to act as “ a cure Or preventive of our labor disturbances.” More, than that: They have provided no effective way to enforce the few labor laws on the statute books. Until the strike at Marion nobody knew the labor laws were being violated. The appeal for a survey of the condition of women and children in industry has been denied, though Virginia and nearly every other itate has secured such a survey. Legislators and other offi cials have been keen about less important matters, but have done nothing effective to secure the best labor legislation »nd to prevent, so far as possible, the cause for labor troubles. The Star does well to call attention to the failure." THE COST OF CARELESSNESS IN AMERICAN LIFE A NATION w are famous for our efficiency. Yet, for reason, we seem to be developing into one of the most careless groups of people on earth. And carelessness and efficiency hardly go hand in hand. Consider, for instance, the American holidav casualty list. A long death list has come to be regarded as an in evitable part of our holiday observance.. The recent Labor Day celebration was no exception. A check-up by the United Press showed that 205 lives were lost in the United States during the holiday. Some of these deaths—a great many of them—were caused by automobiles. Some were due to airplane accidents. Some were caused by drownings, at bathing beaches and j elsewhere. A few were due to bonfires. • Now the sobering thought in connection with this list of deaths is just this: Nearly every one of these tragedies was due to some body’s carelessness. Nearly every one could have been pre vented if those concerned had exercised reasonable caution and foresight. In some cases the death was due to the victim's own carelessness; in others it was due to someone else’s. In either case it could have been prevented. Now everyone wants to be carefree on a holiday. Yet It does seem as if 205 lives were a rather high price to pay for a carefree w&ek-end. Our carelessness has passed the point where it can be ignored or explained away. There is little that any government agency can do to remedy matters. It is largely up to the individual. If each man resolves to be as careful as he can, so that neither he nor anyone he encountei's will be put in danger, the situation can be straightened out. •SHELBY HAS UMPIRE RAZZING INSTEAD OF RED TALKS ^NENT Shelby’s own little world series last week, the es teemed Greensboro News writes: “The Shelby baseball title was won the other day by Eaatside, which defeated the Cloth Mill club. Eight South Atlantic league players played for the losing club and one Piedmont leaguer, one Interna tional leaguer, a Southeastern leaguer and a former major ■ leaguer were on the roster of t he winners, and what we have not seen explained is what they have to do with Eaatside or the Cloth Mill.” Neither do we know what all these leaguers had to do with Eastside and the Cloth Mill, but we are of the opinion i hereabouts that it is better to import baseball players so that the Saturdays of we laboring folks may be spent cuss ing umpires than it is to import Communist agitators and cuss the government and everything else in sight. Seriously, The Star started the plan for a county baseball league and now that the season is over it appears as if the little league was a success from the standpoint of baseball and also from the angle of giving Saturday afternoon entertainment for the people who work all the other days of the week. Last fall j this paper suggested that each textile mill in and about | Shelby organize a basketball team and have a basketball j league with games two or three nights each week. Since so i much interest was shown in the baseball, we renew the has- j ketball suggestion—and the cost of basketball is nothing like i that of baseball. Should the suggestion meet with approval, j we make another: Have bona fide teams whereby those who play on the teams are the fellows who work in the plants.

High Point.—A man who has been married, so many times that he can’t remember the exact number nor the names of his wives, was uncovered here, today by local po lice. He knows one wife died and two more are living, but he can : account for the others. The man's name is Leonard ■Hayes, a rarnival band musician, formerly of Richmond, Va He lias been traveling with the carnival which set up at the High Point community fair grounds today for the past 12 months, but he will not travel with a carnival for the next 12 months nor will he wed again during that period, for Judge Lewis Teague ordered him to work on the Guilford county roads under guard for a period of one year. Hayes was arrested here In com pany with a 17-year-old girl. She was a little old for Hayes, accord ing to his own testimony, as most of his brides have been about 14 j years of ace. Testimony introduced during the trial today disclosed that the girl is the daughter of a farmer living near Boone, and that, the two met at a carnival in Tennessee. On their wav to High Point, it was said. they passed through Boone, and the girl hid In the bottom of the car to keep her friends from recognizing her. They had planned to many In this city as soon as Hayes received his pay check from the carnival people. Their plans were shattered by the appearance on the scene of the girl's relative, a doctor ol Boone, who wanted to take her -pack. The doctor stated today that lie intended taking the girl back before fedaral authorities and hav ing Hayes charged with violating the Mann act for transporting the girl from one state to another.
