Just a few more days remain in which to do so# Today week it may be written here that there are only S64 days remaining before Christmas Woman remains as much of a mystery as ever. Down 5n Eastern Carolina a woman shot and killed a man because, as she said it, “I loved him.” Governor Gardner’s live-at-home idea, as we get it, is that if there were more patches of potatoes, food and feed stuff scattered over the State, there would be less patches on trousers and coats. The Rocky Mount Telegram noticed a statement by the department of agriculture informing that the North Caro lina cotton crop is the poorest in years, and, then, added: “So are those who raised it.” A short story but with prac tically all the details. As the talk continues about getting out some opposition for Senator Simmons the Democrats who scratched the tick et last fall along with the Senator keep writing the papers urging harmony upon those Democrats who are “fed up on” the Senator. And the wrathy Democrats have a pretty good reply by reminding that the Hoover Democrats were not so partcular about harmony in 1928, and, therefore, have little background for urging harmony upon others. FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT. •"THE NEW YORK PAPERS, along with the smaller fry down the line, spread on the big headlines when last week some of the dopesters pointed that Gov., Franklin Roosevelt was destined to be the new leader of the Democratic party and the party’s next likely candidate for President. It wasn’t considered such fresh news to The Star which pre dicted just that late in 1928 and remarked that he would make a blooming good one—an opinion the paper still stands by* VWO USEFUL MEN OF CLEVLAND. IN THE RECENT PASSING of J. T. S. Mauney and Tom Stamey, the ^ounty loses two of its outstanding men, men who have helpaff make Cleveland county what it is. Their judgments were mature, their county loyalty and pride were outstanding and their lives were such that young men should emulate their noble examples. It was an inspiration for young men to be associated with such noblemen as Mauney and Stamey and now that they are gone, young men should strive to step into their places and carry on. A greaj, pride of Cleveland county are the noble men and women who have set such fine examples for the youth of our section GETTING AT THE PATROL. /N ROCKY MOUh^T way a former member of the State highway patrol and present members of the patrol are giving the patrol none too good a reputation by charges they are hurling at each other. A patrolman working that sec tion was injured in July and discharged in September, dis patches say. Recently he asked for a hearing before State officials, declaring that he had been discharged without reason. Along came officers of the patrol and charged the discharged patrolman with numerous offenses, including in competent handling of his motorcycle, untidy appearance, and giving bad checks. The discharged patrolman employed a lawyer and retaliated with the charge that officers of the patrol drank and protected bootleggers. Before they get through with their row they will have given the entire pa trol a black eye which will make it all the harder upon the other patrolmen as they go about their duties. BACK IN THE OLD DAYS THE FARMER LIVED AT HOME. E ARE THOSE who are a bit scornful of Governor Gardner’s plan to have North Carolina live at home, but R. R. Clark, the Statesville editorial writer who usually man ages to see through things very clearly, recalls that in the good old days, and many people recall the same thing, that any farmer who was considered worth his salt “lived at home and boarded at the same place.” He refers to a Colum bus farmer who has not purchased hog meat or feedstuff in 29 years and adds: “Sure it can be done. Back in the dim and distant past, the old folks say, right here in North Carolina they produc ed about everything that could be produced for home con § sumption. They know a lot more about production, now, probably, or at least are better equipped for it. It was the infection of the theory that it was an economically sound proposition to grow so-called “money crops” to the limit and buy food that got us in the fix we’re in. “Cheaper to raise cotton and tobacco and buy meat and bread,” they said. Without debating the question, it does seem that that plan has been thoroughly tried out; and it doesn’t seem to work. The “money crops” don’t always produce the money expect ed; and the ration bills mount high. The theory may be sound enough, but the practice hasnt been a success. And it try_c, as a practical that, generally speak ing, the people who are best fixed are the folks who live at home and board at the same place—the people who don’t buy anything to eat that they can produce? It’s very much of a habit—and a bad habit, as is believed will be generally ad mitted—this business of trying to grow money to buy other things that can be grown along side the so-called money crop. It’fyi habit that is hard to break away from, as all bad habits are hard to break. But, as Mr. Rochelle is saying, it can be done. Why not try it out? CHRISTMAS SPIRIT STRIKES SHELBY, STOCKING FUND GROWS. E IS SOMETHING about the Christmas season which creeps into the heart of man and makes it easier for him to see where a helping hand is needed, and, then, to extend that hand. This time last week The Star deplored the fact that the Christmas Stocking fund for the poor and unfortunate of Shelby was growing too slowly. But over the week-end more than two hundred dollars came piling in to do their share in taking Santa Claus with his necessities of life into all Shelby homes. Early Monday morning after it was too late to enter the contributions in Monday’s Star the checks and cash continued to come. Now the fund is headed for the $500 mark, and it should go beyond that, but there is less than a week in which to corral other contributions. A week from last night Santa will have made his rounds. Will there be homes at which he will not stop because the fund will not be large enough? If you are going to give, give it now. The committee investigating the cases must have some time in which to investigate each case and proportion the fund. They’ll want some time before Christmas eve for their own shopping and planning. Shell out! Today, tomorrow, Friday and Saturday as you move from store to store purchasing toys and playthings for your own children, luxurious gifts for your feminine and male friends, remember that scattered about Shelby are dozens of tots who do not have shoes or clothing; that they’re more than a dozen deserted wives and mothers who will not re ceive dainty little underthings for Christmas and will be overjoyed just to get some coal for the fire and something to eat; that in at least a half dozen homes there are sick fathers who have no hope of getting cigars, pipes and ties for Christmas—fathers whose wives and children are strug gling day and night just to keep the wolf from the door, and after doing so, in one or two cases, not having enough left to purchase medicine for the sick. Just remember this as you pass from one gay holiday counter to another. If all Star readers could actually see some of the conditions which exist in Shelby homes, they would be unable to see the gay gift counters for the blur be fore their eyes. Perhaps one little luxury, one little gift may be omitted from your list and the money be transformed in to some necessity to keep a human life going—an extra meal for some overworked mother and her children, a pair of shoes for some youngster who has none, or some clothing for ragged children in homes deserted by the man who should see that Santa gets around Christmas evening. If you put it off much longer, it will be too late. Have that satisfied feeling next Tuesday evening of knowing that you have done your bit to send Santa into every home, large or small, about Shelby, and have helped make all Shelby children know that there is a Santa. Nobody’s Business R» 4 GEE McGEE— Mike Writes On Hoover Prosperity Ansotorth. flat rock, e, C., dec the 17, 1929 deer mr. editor: 1 seat myself to rite a little ar ticle on the hoover prosperity which the whole country is now enjoying, including the new york stock ex change and the federal reserve an soforth. it is a good thing for us that &l smith was not deck ted, for had he been, the poor tamer would or been getting only c22 for his cotton ta sted of cl6 and the poor wheat grower would oe selling his wheat for 1$ and c75 insted of 1$ and cl2 per bushel and so would the other tillers of the sou be getting rich. of course, mr. hoover is blaxy working on the tarrlff problem and if he gets that fixed, we will be all right as it will raise the price of plow tools only about %25 and other steal products will go up allso. and stuff to eat will be cheaper, and as all of us hafter to eat, we will con tinue to enjoy his prosperity right on up to the time we all bust. the resent stock slump sounds sorter like a dtaimercratic disturb ance, but as the dlmmercrats ain't jn power at present, this is one mesa that they cant be blamed for anso forth. but i think everything is o. k. now aa the wall street, boys have got all of the high stocks in their hands now and they diddent cost them verry muchb, as they set the trap for the suckers and they ail sucked. but i have always give the angels their dues ansoforth, 1 must say that the hoover administration have not hurt bianeis anny so far. i still can by asmall beef yearling for 8* and clip the cukle burrs out of his tail and dress him and sell him tor 18$. as i do all my waying, both vyljeg i buy aau both when i sell! thereof. It was the same way when the dlmmercrats was in power, so 1 don’t want to fall out with the republicans on my part. but this hoover prosperity cant last always, and it woulddent sup prise me to see cotton go lower and most of the cotton mills cur tail till they finely stop, but monney is cheap in n. y., so l understand, but you hafter have liberty bonds to get same on margin, but it happens that 1 need 25$ now to meet my sec ond installment and i aint In n. y. my collat-try dont suit the banks down here as mules cant be took care of by the bonks, well, mr. edi tor. plese rite or foam me if you dont like this peace and i will send you a nother one as soon as i have time to rite same. 1 thank you. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. Wanted: A New Pastor. Uncle Joe dropped in to see me this morning. He explained that he was just passing by and thought it a pretty good time to find out from me if meant what 1 said last year about endorsing notes, and I told him yes, and that closed the note business. Uncle Joe seemed a little bit nerv ous about something and I asked him what It was and he told me that his church was trying to call a pastor and they had split up at every meeting that had been held so far. He seems to think that good roads have Just about rulnt the country churches, and I agreed with him that they had to some extent and also told him that the absence of real religion had also taken some toll. It seems that Uncle Joe Is pulling for Rev. Brown for the job and Dea con Green thinks Rev. Albergrotti is the man of the hour. Uncle Joe says tjjat be wU sever vote for no furrlner to preach lor him and that that Albergrotli man is either a Dutchman or a Rushion or some thing that aint plain white folks, and he got enough of them in the last war. Uncle Joe says that Rev. Brown is the flntst speaker ever was and a good mixer and there aint but one little thing wrong with him: he i likes a small dram of licker now and then enduring the winter time. Bro. Albergrotti is willing to ac cept the present salary of 84 dollars a year, while Rev. Brown says he will come for 100 dollars. All of last year's salary which was prom ised the old pastor, Rev. Redd, has been paid except 63 dollars, but Uncle Joe says he kept a calf up far the preacher 3 rights which was running out on his land and charged him 5 dollars carnages and keep for the said calf, bat the preacher re fuses to give the congregation credit for the calf business, so there you are: and Uncle and Aunt Minervy wont go to church to hear no such man preach, Ivnce the necessity of a new preacher. | Some right bard feelings have sprung up in the church lately. The organist wants a single man and the choir leader prefers a married man and they havo about fell out over the matter and it looks like a new organist will have to be brought in also, but the choir leader thinks if the church would pick out a preach er with a wife who could play the organ as well as nusa a crowd of younguns, everything would be pie, so Uncle Joe says. (Mrs. Brown can fill that bill, so says Uncle Joe). Qf course nobody knows yet how the thing will wind up. The pool broke last year during a baptising, and Uncle Joe says it will cost b dollars to fix that, so the church is simply having a hard pull. Uncle Joe says they have already cut out furrin missions and done away with Sunday school, but they have not saved but about 30 dollars by that move. I suggested to him that they not get a preacher at all and go on to hell without one, Just like they've started, and be got mad and left. TRUSTEE’S SALE OF REAL ES TATE.
