ENN DRUM__ THE STAR PUBLISHING COMPANY. INC. D. JAMES Secretary and Foreman __News Edito< ... Advertising Managei Entered as second class matter January 1, 1905, at the postcfflcr Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act ol Congress, March 3, 1879 We wish to call your attention to the fact that It Is and has oecn :r custom to charge five cents per line fcr resolutions of resect ds of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has . 'en published. This will be strictly adherred to. Most of us, Ye Twinkler’s guess is, have more unpaid t'ls today than unbroken New Year resolutions. A hundred years or so from now the scientists may be ielving into the ruins to see what kind of country this vas just before the day of the auto and radio when there -.’as such a thing as home-life. Modem girls take to the fellow who, in partnership with some credit agency, has a good car, and their dads let it go at that so they may get to drive their own autos occasional ly. But in the old days the girls were anxious to know if he had a home, or prospects thereof, and their dads were in istent about it. Another reason why there is some talk of ard times. Mr. Bailey in announcing for the senate certainly picked an opportune time from one viewpoint. When the Raleigh man ran for governor his foremost appeal was made to the farmers of North Carolina. At the present time farmers of the State are in a none too happy mood and they may see in Mr. Bailey the man who promised to help them six years ago but was not given the chance. MONDAY, JAN. G, 1930. TWINKLES The present year, still in its infancy, should be a year of savings accounts, according to numerous opinions ex pressed to The Star by Cleveland county citizens who are leaders in all walks of life. The people of the section enjoy ing prosperity for the last decade have almost forgotten, these leaders seem to think, that “rainy days” come along my more. When all the family income goes out each month >n installments for luxuries, how can anything be saved for i rainy day? By the law of averages this section cannot xperience a good year every year—who knows when the an year may come along. “JUDGE JIM” WEBB WIDELY LOVED SAYS HICKORY PAPER. /HEN, DUE TO A misunderstanding, the report came out ' of Winston-Salem that Judge James L. Webb might ot retire from the Superior court bench all those grooming lemselves for the race to succeed him immediately began arking time; not a one of the prospects would have cared > do battle with: the veteran jurist who has been in service ! North Carolinh courts longer than any other living man. ut, as we say, it was a misunderstanding, and Judge Webb til retire at the end of this year. Shortly after the Shelby jurist set himself straight an juncement came from Hickory that Wilson Warlick would ek the judicial nomination. Speaking of the Warlick an juncement, The Hickory Records pays tribute to the popu '.rity of the veteran Shelby jurist as follows: . “Mr. Warlick is assured of practically a united support !rom Catawba county Democrats. However, the sentiment n this section for Judge Webb is known to be great and should the aged jurist reconsider in time to enter the race, he sure to gain the support of hundreds of Catawbans. This is the case in practically all the other counties, for Judge Webb is loved by farmers, lawyers and business men all over the district. The old jurist just couldn’t be beat.” HOW PAPERS LOOK AT IT SENATOR SIMMONS AND BAILEY MORTH CAROLINA VOTERS are divived in their opinions on the prospective senatorial race between Senator Sim eons and Josiah W. Bailey, and, naturally, the newspapers f the State also reflect divergent views. The attitude of The Raleigh News and Observer, we 3lieve, is the attitude which bodes best for the future of he Democratic party in the State. However, that is for the oters to say, just as it is for them to decide who to vote ’ar. The News & Observer advises not how its readers should vote, although it is known that the Daniels paper is a tickler for party regularity, but the Raleigh paper does rge that the party not wage such a bitter fight that it will *emain split up when the November election comes on. “It s to be hoped,” says the Old Reliable, t'thht the senatorial ampaign will be so conducted that no bad effects will fol low the verdict rendered in the primary. The Democracy of North Carolina may be divided in its choice for the toga, but hey should not permit any differences to carry them to the joint that will continue the division after the people have .spoken in the primary." The Star, inclined to align with Bailey, feels that to be a wise view. If Senator Simmons wins the nomination despite a growing resentment apparent against him in the State, then Senator Simmons should have the support of the entire party in the general election. Some of those strong against S' rmons, for whom The Star is not tearing any shirts, may object to that view, but it is Pheld by the regulars of last November when they ed that Smith should be supported because he was nee of the party. The same thing applies to Bailey: - wins the nomination, Bailey will be entitled to the »port qf the voters of his party. Upon that working the foundation of the Democratic party rests. It will be a bitter fight, no doubt about that, and readers of The Star, regardless of which candidate they may be for, ! should remember that when the majority speaks the choice of the majority should be the choice of the entire party. But the Charlotte Observer expresses a view somewhat divergent from that of the Raleigh paper. The Obse: far, always a Simmons paper, says Senator Simmons will con tinue in Washington as senator. That expression was to have been expected, but is the clause added by The Observer calculated to work for the best interests of the Democratic party as a whole? That clause is: "or (Simmons will be re turned) a Republican will take his seat.” It occurs to us that in weeks past The Observer has been chiding certain enthuriastic anti-Simmons men because they declared if Simmons was re-nominated that a Republican would beat him. Now The Observer says "Simmons will be returned or a Republican will take his seat.” The Democratic party, the welfare of which The Observer should have at heart more than the future of any one candidate, will not be betrayed by such remarks. Contrast that statement with the answer made by a leading Shelby politician to a friend who declar ed that he was not sure he could vote for Simmons at any time. ‘That is not the right attitude,” declared the leader. "My vote is going for Bailey in the primary, and I am strong for Bailey, but if the majority of the voters differ with me, I am for the nominee; I am a Democrat.” ^ The Greensboro News, independent in such matters, ex presses its views in recalling the figures of the last election. The Observer charges that Bailey will make issue of the Simmons fight against Smith. Mr. Bailey hasn’t said so, but should he do so the figures advanced by The Greensboro News hardly show why that should knock the Raleigh law yer and editor out of the nomination. Only 80,000 Demo crats voted for Mr. Hoover while 288,000 voted for Smith. The majority of those, we believe, who remained regular in 1028 will support Bailey. Say, for purpose of conjecture, that only two-thirds of the 288,000 voting for Smith will vote for Bailey that makes a total of 192,r00 votes for Mr. Bailey. Then say that Simmons will receive the 83,000 Democratic votes which went for Hoover in 1928 plus one tvird of the 288,000 who supported Smith, that would give Simmons a total of 170,000. So go the^views. One paper says maintain party harmony despite the primary fight fftid outcome; another says “it will be Si mons or a Republican,” while a third takes the slant that Bailey will win the nomination, if the votes are cast upon the 1928 issue. Your own conclusion may be as good as any of those. Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— Too Mach Mustard. The whole world seems to be af flicted with over-production. The farmers grow so much cam and cot ' ton and wheat they stay busted all the time. There are too many chil dren. . . .the schools are crowded to death. Two chain stores now grow where only one grew before and the end is not yet. There are too many automobiles, and the cnly way that we shall ever have any parking space is to pass a law requiring folks to pay cash | for their Joy buggies. We have an ! excess of politicians and that means ■ u surplus of public servants <?), ■ and on down the line—we are ovtr ' stocked an legal holidays There j are too many rats and that condi tion forces us to have too many , cats. Half the cotton mills would be a few too many, but we are still pro ducing them. Every time one tails, two others spring up to take its place. If half the wholesale and re tail merchants were to go out of business, the other half could pOoil biy make a decent living. And just look at the number cf dogs we nave since it became stylish not to raise babies. There seems to be too many church members (who stay away from church) and Just think of the big crop of school teachers we grow every year. There are now 3 school teachers to every 3 automobiles and 2 automobiles to every family, so flgger It for yourself. The annual crop of doodle diggers (ez-oftlce holders) has increased 23 per cent since 10 and 14, and still the num ber cf doodles have more tnan doubled. There are too many doctors; 33 per cent of the present number of physicians could easily keep the population sick as the dickens as long as possible. Only one-third of (he instalment agents now operating tr. and out and pro and con would be a sufficient number to get every cent everybody makes from now on. We have more than doubled our stock of loafers since Hoover pros perity set in, and stocks are o'lU going dean. South Carolina alone grew *38 t-67,888 cucumbers last year, enough to give every man, woman and -Mid ii the United States 3 dlstlnce easel of tummyaclie at the same time. Om' carry over of pumpkins from last October was something terrible and 'he rabbits are so plentiful that .he game warden won’t let a fellow bun* them with anything except rocks end sticks. We've get to call a halt. We must work less, eat more, pray tor an abundance ot insects to de stroy our crops, and hope lor droughts, storms and pestilences. And also stop doing a tew other mis - demeanors anseforth. Uncle Joe And His Many Pets Uncle Joe dropped in the rffics cne day last week to borrow a match and a cigar, and sat down and did a little bit ot chatting. I Happened to mention a pet squirrel I owned several years ago, and hat "set off” his lying trigger, and he let out: “Yes sir ree. When it ccmes to pets. I just betcher X have raised more different kinds of ptts tnan any other man, woman or child in captivity.” "Back younder In 18 and 92 white I was living In Texas, me and old Towser and 2 other dogs ketched a baby wildcat o* night and I car ried him home and raised him and he turned out to be the best Invest ment I ever made. He was bigger than a dog, that Is—If the dog wasn’t too big, and I saw that wild cat ketch 6 rats at one time on1? night: he grabbed one with each paw and then held one in his mouth rnd sat down on the sixth one, and ete every hair of those rats before he quit. "My pet lizard excited more curi osity than anything else. I taught that lizard to go In the front room and crawl up on the mantle board and bmg me a match, and he al ways climbed up on.my knee and struck the match on my britches ond lit my pipe. He would then take the match stem and go over to the wash pan and dip it in the water, and finally threw it in the fire-place, aftar he was sattslled that no fire remained on it.” "The hardest thing to pet is a mud turtle It took me nearly 2 years to teach my first cne any sens* at all. He finally got whete a bucket could be set on his back rnd he would go down to the spring tnd wade through It so's the bucket would fill up with water and tren he would come on back and let Mlnervy take it off and set in on the table. He was careless a few times and split the water, but I gave Mm a good spanking with the rem lod of my gun and he got over t/.at. He was also mighty good about carrying out ashes and fetching in »h* stove wood.” "I never had much luck with small insects, but did manage to j lame 2 chiggers one summer. I trained them to slip ovei and b;te anybody who looked like they were stiyinp an-!* 1 lot- long One night the piesrhe- came and we didn’t have no company bed, ro I sicked my chiggers on him and they wor ried him so bad he got up and went home. They could bore a little hole in a person in 2 or 3 minutes I taught them how to bore last: one stuck his bill into a guy. and the other one caught him bv his hind ,tg and ran around and around with him, and the bill just burled itself tight now.” *'I had many other pets, such as owls, snake doctors, earth worms, wiggle tails, polecats and son, but I must hurry on up town and he ar that lawsuit about the man who quit his wife and she is suing him for non-support. He wasn’t much of a pet, I don't guess, and that's the trouble. Good-bye old boy. see you next week.” He left. I wonder ed why Uncle Joe didn't keep those pets and put him up a cucus leady i o Sipn Park Land Deed 150 000 Acres Of S-no'y Mountain Land C"es ' ' Federal Goven it. Asheville.—A tract of 150 000 acres the first unit of what Is ultimate ly Intended to be a 700,000 acre na tional forest preserve In the Great Smoky Mountains of North Caro lina and Tennessee probably will be turned over to the department of the interior on January 11, Verne Rhoades, executive secretary of the North Carolina commission, has an nounced. A joint meeting of the Tennes see and North Carolina park com missions in Asheville is planned and if the title to the 150,000 acres has been secured by that time the com missions will take the first definite step in creation cf the national park by delivering the title to the federal department, the North Carolinian said. ^ Mr. Rhoades said that at present the two state commissions have title to 148,000 acres, of which 00,>)3 acres are in Tennessee and 62,iW0 acres in North Carolina. The Tar Heel group pans to get title to the needed 2,000 acres or more, before I the meeting. Eight thousand acres in North Carolina at present are under option, and a board of ap praisers has heard arguments as to j the value of ths 2,000 acres wrtich are proposed to be included in the park area. A minimum total of 428,000 acres for the park has been set. the acre age to be divided evenly between the two states, while the ultimate goal for the park has been fixed a* 700,000 acres. The federal govern ment will not immediately begin de velopment of the land, it Is under stood. It will, however, be under government protection and gua-ds and administrative officials will re main on the lands. Persistence Rewarded. Helen annoyed her father evening "fter evening with questions after lie had settled down to read. One evening, after seemingly endlfas questions, she- asked: Papa, what do ycu do at the store all day? Exasperated at her persistence he answered briefly, Oh, nothing! Helen was silent for a moment, and then she asked, But how do you know when you are done?

Notary Public ‘Silent Padre* Relieves Sihnt Of Conf ssions San Francisco.—In a> land where silence is absolute. Father John 11. Cummiskey, S. J., “Padre of the Silent,” is gifted with eloquence. Each day he turns from a land where children and grown-ups talk to a strange world of science, where fingers and faces and mo tions speak. For the past 13 years this St. Ignatius college priest has devoted his time to deaf-mutes. In a special confessional, where a plate glass window replaces the usual wire screen and where light supplants the customary darkness, Father Cummlskey hears the con fessions of hundreds of little chil dren whose Ups have never uttered a word, whose ears have never known the beauty of speech or music. Father Cummiskey has become teacher, confessor and chum com bined to some 300 little deaf%iutcs in the three institutions here. I “All deaf-mutes could speak, but 1 they don’t know how,” he explains ‘‘They are classified in two di visions. There are the congenital deaf, those who are bom unable to hear, and those who become deal '.ater in life due to accident or dis ease. These we call the adventi tiously deaf. “The have never heard sounds and their perfectly formed and nor mal voice organs are pcwerless to speak. "The language they speak with their fingers, hands and expressions is one of pictures, not words. It is a beautiful and graceful language totall^Qifferent in idiom from the language of speech. “It was invented in the 18th cen tury by Abbe de 1‘Epee and is uni versal. A deaf-mute can go any where in the world and converse with others acquainted with the signs. “True, they do combine actual werds with pictures by spelling them out on their pictures, but pic ture words by way of illustration are used as a rule. If a wwd can be used easier than finding a pic ture to illustrate their meaning, then they use the word.” The minds of deaf-mute children are almost blank when they urst attend school, according to the priest. They have none of the im pressions ether children have gain ed by hearing. Their schooling is started by showing them stuffed animals and drawings ol definite objects. “We show them, for example,” he says, "a small stuffed lion and then make the sign of the Uon--a hunt! held like a claw drawn backwards over the forehead. We repeat tuis scores, of times, pointing at the same time to the wcrd lion’ writ ten on the blackboard.
