MONDAY, *£)EC. 2, 1929 TWINKLES When are you going to do yoOr bit in making it a real Christmas for all Shelby by contributing to The Star’s Christmas Stocking Fund? Gastonia reports that a Sabbatical calm descended over that city on Thanksgiving day. A similar calm was evident here, but still it wasn’t just that for not a single person was injured or killed in highway accidents during the day. Forest City, the growing Rutherford town next door to Shelby on the west, is to have a new textile plant soon. At the rate that town has been growing of recent years Shelby will have to keep stepping to remain larger in size than her neighbor. North Carolina Presbyterians should have collected their Barium Springs orphanage contributions on the day after Thanksgiving, for then many of them might have gone deeper in their pockets after seeing or hearing what that Barium Springs orphan on the Davidson football eleven, dpi. Brock, did for the Presbyterian college with his spec tacular 102-yard run. MAY HAVE A REASON COME of the big Eastern papers consider the South narrow minded and ignorant because this section does not seem overjoyed at the prospect of having its labor unionized. Per haps the critical writers overlooked the recent special article in The New York world stating that four of the big unions there are controlled by crime organizations, or “rackets” as such are termed in the big cities. Mayhaps, after all, the South isn’t so dumb. PERILS IN SPEED JT HAS been suggested frequently, of late, that automobile traffic can move rapidly without thereby becoming more dangerous. A uymber of states and cities, in consequence, have greatly raised their speed limits. Now, however, the traffic director Cleveland, O., points out that Cleveland is having nearly twice as many traffic fatalities as it had before it boosted its speed limit from 25 miles an hour to 35. To be sure, he blames part of this on an insufficient staff of motorcycle police. But the figures rhake it quite obvious that faster traffic does carry with it greater dangers. It might be just as well to stick to the old speed laws a little while longer. Perhaps, instead of loosening them, we ought to tighten them. WORLD NOT SO BAD A COUPLE of incidents taking place on Thanksgiving day, ™ as reported in the news, make it plain that the world isn’t so hardhearted despite a stock market crash in a hur rying jazz age. In New York city a middle-aged woman was in the hospital and seemed sure to die unless she secured a pint of blood by transfusion. A radio announcer told his air audience of her plight and 70 people, coming from all walks of life, gave up their Thanksgiving dinner and hurried to the hospital to give the required blood from their veins. In Glassboro, New Jersey, an aged couple was about to be evicted from the home in which they had lived since being married because the husband, far up in years, had been in jured and was unable to pay off the mortgage. Thanksgiv ing threatened to be a heart breaking day for the old folks but in the early mail came a letter stating that the writer had purchased the mortgage from the owner and would per mit them to live their days out in their home of a life-time. The writer did not sign his name and the happy, gray-haired couple—the husband injured and the wife near blind—did not know just who to thank as they offered their Thanks giving prayers to the Creator who made such men. SAYS AMERICA SEEKING GOOD SIDE OF LIFE NOW INSTEAD OF MONEY •THE rush for money ia generally supposed to be fatal to * to the finer aspects of culture. One who devotes him self to getting rich is not supposed to be in a good position to develop creative ability in the arts. But no less an authority than Charles Hanson Towne write* in Harper's Bazaar that prosperity and world lead ership are now doing for the United States what they for merly did for Greece, for Rome and for Victorian England— slowing down the mad hurry and scramble for money and making us a happier and more cultured people. In other words, history is repeating itself. The great period* of creative achievement and leisurely contentment in any nation’s life nearly always follow periods of unpreced ed prosperity and wealth. v ‘Thrift and shrewdness are all right in their way,” Mr. Towne. “But it is good to see Americans taking things more easily than they did of old. A sensible gift for leisure is now manifest in uor national life. We have discovered that the rush and turmoil which were about to kill us are giving way to * sane and vigorous discovery of the fact that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. “Crowds interest me. I never go to the theater but I wonder what my neighbors’ names may be, where they live, how they manage and what they do when they are not thus on parade. The average man in the street, the woman one meets in shops, the clerk in the subway, the girl with her book, the face glimpsed in a taxi—all of these are doing just what you and I are doing, striving for just three things, food, shelter and clothing. Most of us get what we seek. And having achieved the three essentials, there enters the de sire for what Stevenson called the little superfluities of life —the glamour, the garnishing of the dish, the glint that makes possible the bearing of the common burden.” In other words, we have reached the point where we can afford to give more time to the pleasant side of life—and we are making the most of it GASTONIA PAPER NOMINATES JUDGE HERE FOR BIG COURT CEVERAL of the papers in the state have commented upon The Star’s notation that Recorder Horace Kennedy, who may not seek office again, has been criticised because he re fuses to try cases out of court and also to change sentences after he leaves the court room. One or two of the papers, all of which have been complimentary in their remarks about | his methods, seem to be under the impression that he is not a candidate again because of this criticism. Thfet impression is erroneous, for, as The Star said pt the first mention of this criticism, his method of conducting courtJfwould un doubtedly cause him to be returned to the bench, if he cared to, by the citizens of Cleveland. Futhermore, he is seemingly not o* the type to be criticised out of a race by the type which would offer the criticism noted above. If he does not seek the judgeship again it will be for the reason that he believes that there is more renumeration in the private prac tice of law. The Gastonia Gazette in commenting upon the criticism reported by The Star nominates the youthful recorder for the Superior court bench as follows: “One of our chief adverse criticisms of many North Carolina superior court judges has been that, after hearing evidence against a criminal, receiving the jury’s verdict of guilty and passing sentence on the defendant, they often lighten the sentence after listening to the attorneys and friends of the defendant in private. We know some judges who, in passing sentences in open court, are like roaring lions, apparently aa-Jiard boiled as “they make ’em,” but who? before adjourning a term of court, change a large per centage of the sentences they have imposed. Perhaps in rare instances such change of heart is justified, but not of ten, we opine. Such action on the part of a judge, certainly when it has become an established custom with him, tends to bring both the judge and the court as a whole into dis repute. “The criminal as well as the man on the outside develops something of a feeling <Tf contempt for such procedure. They come to one of two conclusions: That the judge in question uses very por judgment in passing sentences; or, he is too “soft-hearted,” to be a judge, charged with dispersing even handed justice and protecting the interests of society as well as those of the criminal at the bar. “In view of this situation it is refreshing to find, even occasionally, a judge of a different type. One such is County Judge, or Recorder Horace Kennedy, of Cleveland county, and we hereby nominate him for a place on the Superior court bench of North Carolina.” - Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— It Served Us Bight. A few days ago, I dropped into an eating place for lunch. Pretty soon a good looking girl dropped in for soup also, and as luck would nav“ It, she was escorted by the head hash-disher to my table, and Inert) we were: a strange lady at a tabic with a strange man, and a strange man at a table with a strange lady but neither of us wanted to be strange. Well, to make a short tory shorter, I said: "Why, how you both?” and she replied: "Very goon, thanks: how are you all?” and from that we got started. I found out where she was not from and she gathered the same Information from me. . . as It later developed. I or dered creamed chicken and ahe or dered creamed turkey. So far as I know, It came out, of the same pot. But I am no cook except eggs, fried and boiled, but I assumed that possibly her mother was or had been, so I up and says: “How in the world do you know the difference between creamed turkey and cream ed chicken?” and she said ‘that Is easy” and explained that creamco chicken smelt like creamed turkey and vice versa. I told her I had never tasted any vice-versa, but had j practiced a little bit of vice in my youth, all of which she paid i.c tt tention to. And that led up to the discuss! n of foods generally. . . I still felt that both of us were eating meat from the same old rooster, but she went on and said that there were other way? to tell creamed chicken from creamed turkey, for instance-, turkey feathers are longer than chicken feathers, but I saw no re ot either in my plate, but believed that she knew what she was talking about. . . as she looked like a school teacher. The conversation drifted from fowls to cake and coffee, both of which I am fond of as well as girls; and she seemed to be just a novice 3onceming the latter, she being only about 35 years old at her last llltii birthday, and naturally knew very little about coffee. She apeparsd to think it and young men callers would keep her awake at night, but -rank notes are worse than caffeine, f she didn’t but know it. We apparently liked one another pretty well until she brought up the subject of matrimony, an<J be five 1 thought, I said something ab >ut mv baby, and you should have seen her j face become full of regrets. It was ! a pity that she could not continue to feel free and liberal toward me, and then both of us ordered some ice cream. . . which they did ooc have, so w* asked the waiter just to substitute apple pie A la Mode. . . which was also but, or never was there at all. X told this girl tnat 1 would write up something .ice about her and have it put in the paper, so this is it. But we both enjoyed our creamed beef and ba logny. as that is what the stuff we ate was, according to the bones wc i did not find in same. Mike At The County Fair. flat rock, s.

This the 21st day of November, 1929 A. M. HAMRICK, Clerk Superior Court. Newton <fc Newton, Attya. Paper Says County' Judge Here “O. K.’! Greensboro News. One learns by way of the Cleve land Star, of Shelby, that Judgt Horace Kennedy of the countj court may not seek office when hi! present term ends, apparently be cause he has not been an altogetnci popular judge. As to why he may be unpopular you may judge front the Star’s own words: One of the reasons assigned or rather one of the flaws certain por tions of the public finds in his style is his method of trying all cases in the court room and refusing to l.eir pleas for sentence changing after court adjourns... Along the street— and this may be news to Judge Kennedy—a complaint has been heard that after he leaves the coutt room and returns to his office he refuses one and all pleas from friends of defendants and their law yers to sit and listen again as they beseech that so many months be taken off this sentence or so many dollars off this fine. It is Tlie Star’s own opinion that “popping a heavy sentence or a stiff fine on a defendant on the court room for th$ benefit of court spectators and the records only to modify the sentence after court 6 dver is, if you think about it eii ously, one of the basic reasons why modern courts in this country diraw no more respect.” The Daily News knows nothing about Judge Kennedy, but if ue is the kind of Judge who insists on trying cases in the court room and nowhere else, it is willing to go on record, other things being anywhere near equal, that Judge Kennedy is the kind of Judge needed in Cleve land or any other county. The na ture of the practice he will not en gage i» might be more clearly un derstood if one can imagine a law yer button-holing Chief Justice Stacy of the supreme court of North Carolina in a private office and urging him to decide a certain case in such and such a manner. But what a commentary on the Judicial processes of the lower courts that a judge is to be commended for doing what anyone with a sense of the fitness of things could not help but do!
