The world series is now on hut it is noticeable that adio’s revolution has decreased interest in the baseball clas ilcas it has brought the big fall football games to the fans vho could not witness them. r Readers, we hope, did not overlook Gee McGee’s recent Hgnfc North Carolina’s late lamented real estate boom. Here’s rhat he said, for fear some did miss it: “But after all. •forth Carolina is a wonderful state even if a thousand dol lot In the western belt can be bad for the taxes.” (Tobacco farmers in Eastern Carolina are being paid Dost frothing for their tobacco, yet cigarette smokers the 4 Over began last week to pay more for their smokes. ^ A Democrat been elected president this peculiar situa Ofl Would have been accredited to him.

FIVE NO CANDIDATES AT ALL IN THIIS SECTION NE OF the next poltical settos in section which will draw much interest, and mime candidates will be the pri next Spring which will nominate Judge James I/, 'tbb’s successor on the Superior court bench. Discussing labilities, likelihoods, and rumors, The Lenoir News 'opic remarks: “Well, it doesn’t take the boys long to get in line. Judge Webb has announced he will not stand for re-nomina Apd the names begin to fly. There are Wilson Warlick, Newton, and A. L. Quickel, of Lincolnton, both definitely the field. Hickory will probably offer C. W. Bigby or Mar. ,11 H. Yount. Morganton has Sam Ervin. Shelby would be id, but doubtless she has her offering; and the scales of e legal piano in Lenoir could tie run with reasonable ety.” And to that The Greensboro News adds; “When it comeg to candidates, five isn’t a line: it's just a beginning.” The News is right, as usual. Five candidates are .no can tee at all in this neck of the woods where a political isn’t considered a bit peppy unless at least a dozen hats stacked up in the ring. Shelby may be timid about her tries, as The News-Topic says—-timid enough, from what e hear, to have a couple of contestants. BROWSING OVER A FEW MODERN SCHOOL PROBLEMS 'APT. SMITH, superintendent of the Shelby schools, in a statement made to The Star answers in a very befitting Hjier the criticism directed against the new school system lere because it does not believe in one.session school days uring inclement weather, or at any other time. He cites Numerous reasons why one-session days are detrimental to irogressive school work and then notes tl^ children are not ly endangering their health by getting wet on rainy when two regular sessions are held—-they may take lunches to school with them on threatening days as do teachers and many of the pupils. As The Star has tated before, there are two sides, of course, to the one-ses ion controversy, but Capt. Smith is to be praised in coming ahd stating, as well as explaining, his stand and the rea therefor. Frankness usually alleviates any situation, if per reason is employed. Ijji with other school matters being discussed, it might noted that Prof. H. M. Loy’s article in The Star beseech patrons to permit school officials to operate the school jut outside advice and orders has attracted quite a bit j ! comment. “Too much outside dictation” Mr. Loy said was of the big troubles with our present day schools. There, ha was right. Many parents blame a school or a school tem for poor discipline as a unit, but immediately buck the corrective measures they advise for the entire 100I are applied to their individual children. If the same plinary measures were used in school today as were in le when present day parents were in school, modern jls should achieve more. Can it be that parents have fed modern school officials out of using such disciplinary And, if so, why—and why kick at scholastic re PERHAPS CASH IS JUST ANOTHER SOUTHERNER? HEN young Mr. Cash, the Cleveland county product, wrote his second article for the American Mercury and as his subject “The Mind of the South,” he said that of the basic weaknesses of a Southerner is his inclination day-dream rather than face the facts. Speaking of the South he wrote: “Leisure conspires the langorous climate to the spinning of dreams. . here he (the average Southerner) turns away from j to a gaudy world of his own making. . . Whatever: him, he counts as real. Whatever does not please he holds as non-existent.” As be progressed in the article he swung several nice nth uppercut.* and a few well-placed jabs at Southern intelligence and culture, using the whole to explain why the recent labor unrest in the South will never prove successful from the radical standpoint. Some ci the criticism at his own South was deserved, particularly that part declaring that the Southerner would rather use his imagination than stare in the face of cold facts; but some of the criticism was of the Mencken type, more potent as fine writing than logical reas oning, and naturally The Star expected the youthful writer to get several severe lectures from Southern editors. So far few of these anticipated lectures have been administered. It may be because not many Southern newspapermen read Mencken’s magazine, or, if they do read it, they, in a style characteristic of the South, "consider the cource,” arid over look such things. But The Portsmouth (Va.) Star would give the Boiling Springs writer, who has been asked by a prominent publish, irig firm to broaden out on his “Mind of the South” so that it may he published in book form, a riding for his observa tions. Says The Virginia editor: A writer ‘a young newspaperman from North Caro, linn,’ contributes an article Jfo the October number of the American Mercury on ‘The Mind of the South.’ ‘When the Southerner has.read at all,’ says the North Carolina journal ist, ‘he has read only Scott, or Dumas or Dickens.’ “Possibly, the young North Carolinian’s acquaintances include chiefly persons who do not read at all and perhaps it is true that the circle does include those who have con fined their reading to Dickens, Dumas and Scott. Of course, he may not care to extend his acquaintance to circles where reading is general and readers are more or less omniverous. “We do not know that such widening of acquaintance would prove beneficial, for the reason that young writers of the type of this callow North Carolinian rarely cares to be hampered by the hard reality of facts when lubricating for print.” And in turn, the" writer who said that Southerners would rather not face the realities of life is informed that he himself is one who overlooks the realities in order to make writing material. That indictment seems to be a boost for Mr, Cash. He must have turned out a good*interpretation of the Southern mind in that he is a Southerner and is brand ed mentally as of the same type of person he describes the average Southerner to be.
