TWINKLES MA ffV The Rocky Mount Telegram sees no need of using Camp Glenn to train North Carolina national guard troops next summer; they have been and are being trained at the sev eral strike centers. 'M Those who wonder at the transformation of Silent Ca! into a verbose writer, said change taking place since ha l°f1 rhe White House, should recall that Mr. Coolidge was not re ceiving from $2 to $4 per word for his talk while in the White House. 4 ^ * We've never learned just what the Governor of North Carolina said to South Carolina’s Governor but we’ve noticed that, nearly every North Carolina Governor sooner or later gets where he hardly has anything to say to Editor Jose phus Daniels. • T jt Some of those boys who took the test to see if they could succeed Edison might get a good send-off for themselves by designing an automobile tire which would do what several already on the market advertise that they do—prevent skid ding. i OnQ Virginia faction is “agin” one candidate for gover j or because he may have some connection with DePriest, the negro sent to Congress by Illinois Republicans, while another faction is “agin” the other candidate because he may have some connection with Tammany Hall in New York. And. as The Greensboro News says, “that is politics, brethren.” Big Business, so declared the experts after the election, wanted Herbert Hoover and not A1 Smith in the White House, and, as A1 said in his telegram to Massachusetts Democrats, we wonder if Big Business will attempt to place the blame for the stock market stampede upon the defeated candidate ? f ftp .or* Several State newspapers are debating whether or not Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Reviews, is a na tive of North Carolina. Frankly, Ye Twinkler can throw no light upon the matter, but where, pray, did we get our phrase for expressing disgust “Aw, Shaw!"— used, ou know, in the same sense as “Aw, Shucks!”? The Charlotte Observer commenting upon the fact that the order to move the revenue office from Columbia to Greensboro was nullified says “South Carolina is now happy and North Carolina, not being at all crippled, can stand it.” But in view of recent talk between the two Tar Heel cities it might be noted, in passing, that it was Greensboro and not Charlotte which came very near landing Columbia’s office. Judge McElro.v will An Monday begin investigating the manner in which Ella May Wiggins met her death in the textile labor troubles in Gaston county, and Governor Gard ner’s sending of a Superior court judge to delve further into the matter with the hope of unearthing the slayers of the woman should put an end to critical talk hinting that the af fair was to be hushed up. The Star did not believe the fail ure to find true bills in the first grand jury action sh lid end the case, neither did it believe that the citizens of Gaston and of North Carolina wished the investigation to be smoth ered at that point. SOME JURORS MAY HAVE RIGHT > TO STAGE A STRIKE JN THE recent Aderholt case, tried at Charlotte, there was talk about the hardships suffered in the long drawn out af fair by attorneys and court attendants, all of whom, pre sumably, were well paid for their time, but very little was said of the jurors who had to sit through one day after another of hearing witnesses examined, lawyers argue, and th?n a lengthy charge from the bench. The Statesville Daily, taking note of this angle, and mak ing note, too, of an Atlanta juror who went on a hunger strike, has the following to say about jurors going on strike’ It is necessary to keep them together on occasion be cause not all of them can be trusted to be discreet, to put it mildly, if they are given freedom outside court sessions. But often they are herded together with little heed for their com fort, cheap accommodations being provided to save cost. And worse than that is the unnecessary protracting of the ex amining witnesses and in non-essentials. Then after many weary days, often weeks when the jurors are worn out, they must listen for days to lawyers saying the same thing over and over as an “argument." The jury in the Aderholt cas- in Charlotte would have been justified in demanding curtail ment of the lawyer talk. They would have been justified in walking out when Solicitor Carpenter staged his cheap performance. Then on top of that, the judge held them for two days while he wrote his charge, which he might have W ready when the trial closed. Then he took two hours to read- hie- charge when he must have known that the worn jurors couldn’t remember one per cent of it. The Atlanta incident gives an opening. If jurors find >bat they can do something to relieve themselves of the un . 1 . —.SBSSSS necessary hardships of their lot, making demands may be come a habit. They will not rise to the occasion in the ex ercise of their rights until they demand a hearing about he time given for the lawyer talk, which is an unreasonable imposition in many cases; and they should enforce their de mand for lirn^tation by a walkout if necessary. Judges may try putting them in jail, but the jurors will win if they stand fast because public sentiment will support them in opposing the unnecessary and cruel punishment inflicted on them on the idea that they are helpless and can’t do anything about it. The jurors are a part of the court, they have rights in the premises, and these rights, so long ignored that judges and lawyers think jurors can be treated any old way, they should dare maintain, even to the extent of going to jail if necessary. That is one reform in the jury system which it is up to the jurors to inaugurate." COUNTY STICKING NEAR TOP IN COTTON GINNING 'T'HE STAR awaits the final cotton ginning report of the present year with more eagerness than ever before. This eagerness is not entirely due to the anticipation that Cleve land county will break its own cotton production record and again lead all other counties in the State, but is created by a desire to see what will happen to the scores of estimates made throughout the county. Undoubtedly, more people have discussed, argued and wagered upon the total county crop this year than ever before, with the difference between the high and low estimates being a pretty good cotton crop in itself for the smaller cotton counties. Early in the season all estimates placed the crop above last year’s mark with the high figures going from 60 to 70 thousand bales. Since that time the estimates have differed. One conservative man presumably experienced in cotton production will tell you to day that the crop will pass 60,000 bales, while another equal ly as conservative and equally as experienced will pooh-pooh at such fantastic dreams as he tells you that the county will be lucky to make 50,000 bales, and that there is no reason to hope that last year’s 53,000 bales will be reached this year. It is hard to make heads and tails of such conflicting opin ions, yet The Star will stand with the optimist and predict that the crop this year will not only go up to the 53,000 bales of last year but will pass that mark. When the last ginning report was issued on October 18 this county had ginned near 18,000 bales and stood second in the State. As we recall the county, with a crop always later than the big cotton counties in the eastern section, has never ranked second in ginning so early in the season be fore. And this,year, both optimists and pessimists agree, the Cleveland crop is later than it was last year, if not later than ever before. A *■ --t -A Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE—■ Thousand-dollar bills and parking space are somewhat scarce in our town at the present writing, but Miss Luclndy Wibble's dress looked a sight last night where she sat down on a quid of chewing gum in the picture show. Cotton Letter. New York, Oct. 31.—Due to the fact that the chief government crop estimator broke his adding machine and lost his pencil week before lost he made an error in favor of the bears of 433,000 bales, all of which shows that it pays to be a bear. Too much rain is proving quite bullish in the eastern belt and that accounts for the recent decline in spots and futures, but counting round bales as carloads and square bales twice, we believe the 19 and 30 crop will reach 14,578,999 bales, therefore we advise the farmers to sell while the price is low sos the speculatros can get their profit oat of his cotton. We still think A1 Smith was a Catholic and that's why he is leaning toward skyscrap ers Instead of on the president’s desk. Hoover is strong for fishing end a protective tariff, and if everybody lived in California, where his heart is, we are of the opinion that they would get protected. His friends who voted for him are now divided as to the correct methods of ped dling pie, the northern and western and eastern supporters are getting slices off and on, but the southern “bolters” have about lost hope of even having a chance to lick out the pan. Uncle Joe treated his son Sammie that way once: he gave his other 2 boys a pony apiece, and loaned Sammie a curry comb. Speaking of “living at home," I have Just about succumbed to na ture and am ready to give up. I paid 8 dollars tor spraying my 8 fruit trees and I gathered therefrom the sum of 2 peaches and 10 worms. My black walnut tree failed to hear this year because the washer woman emptied soap-suds around its roots. The dry weather kept me from making but a half crop of . cotton and the rain came in Sept ember and ruined two-thirds of that My hens quit laying in June and are still skipping. My roasting ear patch ketched afire during the drought and burned up. The mow and potato bugs and bean weevils destroyed my garden, and my wife's kinfolks came up and spent a week ■ft l J it end or so, and it I ever amount to anything in this old world, I'll simply have to start over and hustle. A French scientist has just dis covered the roosting place of a star which passed out ot existence 2,544, 778,888 years ago. It took the rays from this star exactly 4 billion light years to travel from where it was to where we are, and the aforesaid scientist simply found the place where the star uster shine, but it’s gone now. Betcher that guy can’t find his hat every morning when lie gets ready to do his telescoping, but I am glad he located those beams. I thought they were coming from lightning bugs till he told me bet ter. A Horrible Accident. I got out of my car at the post office. Just as I started to unlock my box and get the thousand dollar check in payment for "NOBODYS BUSINESS" last month, I heard some deep-seated moaning and groaning and weeping. So— I proceeded to Investigate from whence came this noise of sadness and gloom and despair. I walked around the corner and much to my i SURPRISE— There stood old man Armficld Brown crying as if his heart was broken into bits. He was shedding tears larger than dew-drops and I 1 felt so sorry for him, THERE FORE— I took it on myself to try to com fort the poor old soul, but I could gather only fragmentary facts be tween his sobs and walls and slob bers, BUT— I managed to catch his eyes and they were blood-shot and filled with muddy tears and as he batted them, t was sprinkled like unto a Metho dist baptism. HOWEVER— I tried to console my life-time friend, and said: “Mr. Brown, tell ne your troubles and let me help you. Is your mother-in-law dead?” fcnd— He said . . . “No, no. This is something terrible . .", (Boo-hoo 100) ... I am ruint for life." <Boo ioo>, THEN— I took my nice clean handkerchief md wiped his nose and mopped the sympathy-getters off hfe cheeks, and mplored him to confide in me i BUT— It seemed that he did not care to ;rust me and only Cried the louder. [ said . . . “Now, my dear, darling, Mr. Brown. Can't I do something for you? Is your wife dead?” AND— He said . ‘‘No, she ain’t been sick and it looks like she aint never going to be. (Boo-hoo-hoo). Oh, my poor head hurts, I have wept so hard. Go ‘way and let me alone.” NOW— I was at my ropes end, but I would not leave or forsake any man in distress. So I began ail over and said: ‘‘Mr, Brown, somebody loves you” and he said: ‘‘Boo-hoo-hoo” and I explained to him that, his mother loved him, BUT— "I aint got no mother, she died with the flu. (Boo-hoo-hoo). i4in now just a few years distant from the yawning grave and this terrible thing had to happen to me. How I wish I had of died in the Civil War at the Battle of Bunkers Hill.” STILL— I believed that I could do some thing for Mr. Brown if he would only tell me what was wrong. He grew more violent with his bawls and squalls. I began to get vexed. BUT—. This was not time or place to show one's temper, yet I was weakening slightly in my cussing neighborhood, and my patience was about exhaust ed. The man just kept an crying FINALLY— I got him to hush for a second or two, and said: “Now, look-y here Brother Brown, I love you and want to do something for you in this ter ble calamity, so please tell me right now what's happened.” AND HE SAID— “I broke my yo-yo (Boo-hoo). I was coming down the street just now yo-yo-ing. . (Boo-hoo-hoo). And I wound up my yo-yo. . (Boo hoo-hoo). And when I started off to yo-yo-ing, the string broke and my pretty little yo-yo rolled into the street, and a big old truck ran over it and busted it all to smither-reens. (Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo). Aint I in a fix?” Stop, Look, Listen, Officer—“Say, didn't you see -hat stop light?” College Boy—"Sure, I didn’t see you.” Administrator's Notice, Having this day qualified as administrator of the estate of Mar tha Francis, late of Cleveland coun ty, N.

They should have reached maturity and be in good flesh, ready to lay their first egg. If they do not get Tito production this month, you likely will not get very many eggs until early spring. , To produce eggs day after day throughout the winter months, pul lets must be comfortably housed; besides they must be provided with good feed—the best feeds are none too good. The nearer you come to supplying just what is in the egg, the mpre eggs they will lay. That in a few words is why you should never buy poultry feeds on a price basis. While you may save a few cents mixing your own ration or buying a cheap commercial mash ■D the long run it is an expense ,, feed. It is not capable of producin'! the results you are after and woum get with a better ration. One 01 two more eggs more a month w>;. more than offset the difference m the cost of a cheap mash and a good mash.
