SAYS ME WOULD THINK HE'S 71 NOW ‘‘Sargon almost made a new man cut of me and my friends tell me nobody would take me to be a man of seventy-one now. "Stomach trouble and Indigestion had been pulling me. down for W. S. DAVIS years. Sometimes I’d get so w.ak and dizzy I could hardly keep on my feet. It took the strongest kind of purgatives to move my bowels; my liver was sluggish, I was nerv ous, didn’t sleep well and was weak and generally rundown. I eat any thing I want without a trace of in digestion and my whole system is strengthened. My nerves don’t both er me like they did, I sleep fine and feel like a different man.

He has found the long lost Charley Ross—again. Some four years ago we had the similar pleasure. THIS TIME the long lost Phila delphia boy, as a feature^ story in forms in The Star today, is located in the person of a ’Frisco entertain er, a former round-up cook in Wyo ming. The last time Charley was found when The Star dug him up in a little shack nestling amid whis pering pines on the outskirts cf Denver, a village in Lincoln coun ty. • * • THAT NIGHT will long be re membered by this colyum, and by hundreds of newspaper readers hereabouts as the story kept Shelby in the headline the world over for several weeks. Accompanied by a photographer and a reporter from Asheville, the writer after some search located the little shack and therein heard a remarkable story— one of the most remarkable we've ever listened to as boy and man in the news-gathering racket—and from one of the most unusual men we’ve ever met. Long since we dis carded the idea that Julius Dellin ger, who later visited his friend, Uncle Frank Gaffney, in Shelby, was the Philadelphia boy whose disappearance wras a world-wide sensation; Dellinger, however, had a story pieced together of his life that for a time had the world be lieving that he was none other than Charley Ross. Just where Dellinger is now is not known. Wherever he is he will still contend that he is the Philadelphia boy kidnapped out of a big fortune, and he will scoff, as we do, at the Frisco story, for it is our opinion that it will never do for the long lost Charley to be found. Many a reporter has received a big kick out of trying to find or “finding" Char ley in days gone by, and this peren nial opportunity to score a big scoop should not be denied the news hounds of the future. We’ll never entirely get over the hunch that, after all, Julius Dellinger might be Charley Ross—and the same goes, no doubt, for the other fellows who have found him. NO TOWN on the map, In cur opinion, has ever boasted of two more likeable citizens of foreign blood than Shelby did a year or so back in George Stymrnioe and George Scordas. The former died somewhat suddenly about a year ago and* Shelby turned out one of its greatest funeral throngs as a final tribute to “George,” the play mate of all Shelby children and tlte close friend of every Shelby citizen. With the passing of Smyrnios some of his hold on the town was shifted to the portly, happy Scordas who had his cheery good morning lor every person he met. Then a slight Infection developed blood poisoning which resulted yesterday in his death. Both “Georges" were endow ed with magnetic personalities which along with the natural busi ness acumen of the Greek race made them successful in life, yet both were just as loyal and patriotic in boosting local aims as any na tive-born. There are several things this de partment will remember George Scordas by. First of all, it Is recall ed that a couple of years back when The Star conducted a book drive for the library of Bolling Springs college that George made one of the finest contributions of all in a splen did set of the classics. And other than being a citizen of Cleveland county George had not the least connection with the Baptist school. The other memory is that not a single Christmas season has passed by since George became a citleen of Shelby without the kind-hearted cafe proprietor sending his check for $10 to The Star’s Empty Stock ing fund for the poor of Shelby. In a sequestered village in Greece and one in Turkey the news that two ambitious boys who left the homeland years ago for the land of opportunity are now dead will be sad tidings, but' it would, undoubt edly, do those good in the old coun try, as George called it, to know that those boys were as highly re spected in their adopted land be cause of their own qualities as if they had been descendants of Re volutionary heroes. If Shelby in its future growth draws outsiders of their type, Shelby will be fortunate. A PECULIAR angle of this poli tical setto between Purnifoli M. Simmons and Joslah W. Bailey, about which there is much talk and interest here, Is that with many people neither of the two Is overly popular. Several voters discussing their sentiments have remarked that they have not decided which is the less of two evils. And It is not ed that a Charlotte man feels the same way, for. In being queried as to his view about the Simmons Balley contest he quoted this verse in reply: The scorpion sat on a tarantula's back And he said in ghoulish glee: If I don’t poison thjs old bug. He will surely poison me. NEWS HAPPENINGS Of Kings Mountain MRS. W. K. CROOK, Reporter. Items Of News Will Be Appreciated—Phone 177 Dr. J. T.
