COULDN’T HAVE BEEN WORSE
HAD SMITH BEEN ELECTED
Washington, D. C. — Senator
Wheeler told a story in the coarse
of a senate debate of a young man
in Montana under examination for
citizenship papers, who answered
most of the questions correctly un
til the Judge asked, “Who Is presi
dent of the United States?’’
i Ai Smith,” was the prompt re
ply.
“What makes you think Mr.
Smith is president?”
“We^.” replied the applicapt, “ah
I knos ’V'out it is that the Repub
lican if!, >rs told us that if A1
Smlth\as elected we would have a
general panic in the country; that
prices in Wall street would drop,
that men would be out employment,
that the farmers would go broke
and banks would fail. All of these
things have happened, so I think
A1 Smith must be president of the
United States.”
“I’LL NEVER CEASE
"Sargon certainly brought hap
piness into my home and I will
never cease praising it.
"I suffered terribly for four years
with stomach trouble. My appetite
MRS. J. F. PHILLIPS.
was poor, my food didn't digest
right, I was dreadfully nervous and
was continually taking laxatives.
Four bottles of Sargon gave me a
splendid appetite, my digestion is
perfect and my stomach trouble is
over. My nerves don’t bother me
like they did, I sleep fine and can’t
remember when I’ve felt stronger
or more energetic I Sargon Pills
completely overcame my constipa
te and biliousness! My eight year
old daughter and my husband both
took the treatment, they are won
derfully improved, stronger and
better in every way!” Mrs. J. F.
Phillips, 107 Peachtree St., N. E.,

Highs Play Blacksburg Tonight; |
Win Game From Fast No. 8 Team
Farris, Newly Elected Captain. Stars
In Local Victory. Good
Game Tonight.
The Shelby high cage quintet
will take on the last Blacksburg
outfit at the tin can here to
night at 7:30 o’clock. Blacks
burg has a speedy cage aggrega
tion and the locals anticipate
one of the season's hardest
games.
According to schedule the highs
were to have played Cherryville,
both boys and girls, in Cherryville
tonight, but the Cherryville gym
nasium Is not complete and the
substitution of the Blacksburg game
here was made necessary.
Win Close One.
Playing in the tin can here Wed
nesday night the highs barely nos
ed out a 22-18 win over Coach Dill
ingham’s fast No. 8 school team
from Polkville. The visiting lads
exhibited some very fast floor work,
clever shooting, and had the ups on
nearly every tip-off due to the un
usual height of Daggerheart, their
elongated 16-year-old center.
Hal Farris, elected captain oi the
Shelby team by his teammates Just
before the game, proved himself
worthy of the honor by being the
outstanding star of the game. The
blonde star of three sports played a
bang-up game on the defensive and
was all over the floor on the offense
and in the passing attack of ids
team. “Red” Brown, husky forward,
led the scoring for Shelby with
three field goals although he aid
not play the entire game. E. Blan
ton, Polkville forward, was the nigh
scorer of the game with seven
points, while Beam, visiting captain
and one of the speediest and most
graceful court artists seen here
since the days when Lattimore and
Shelby had super cage teams, rank
ed second with six points.
Beam and Farris, the two cap
tains, were easily outstanding per
formers, but both quints were on
their toes and the score was in
doubt until the final whistle, Shelby
going ahead by one or two points
one minute and the visitors catch
ing up the next.

IN EVERY COUNTY
706 Of High Schools Rural, Other
City—More Than 110,000
Enrolled.
Raleigh.—There are now 361 pub
lic schools In the state, at least one
In every county, offering courses of
Instruction to all boys and girls who
show themselves able to profit by
them. Of this number 708 are pro
vided for rural and 153 for city
boys and girls. More than 110,000
boys and girls are, a vailing them
selves of the opportunities offered
in these schools, and over 13,000 are
graduating annually from them.
These facts are disclosed In the
current issue of State School Facts,
official publication of the state su
perintendent of public instruction,
which is devoted to the high school
phase of the state’s public system.
Over a period of five years, this
paper shows that there has been
a great increase in the several high
school grades, especially In the rural
schools. ,
In 1028-29 there were 12,762 more
white boys and-girls in the qlglith
grade, or first year high school
than there were in 1923-24. In the
ninth grade there were 10,737 more
than in 1923-24, an increase of
68.8 per cent. In the tenth grade
there was an increase of 7,969 over
1923-24, or 67 per cent and in the
eleventh grade 6,486 more, or a 75
per cent increase. A total of 37,
955 more pupils were in attendance
at the public high schools in 1928
29 than in 1923-24.
Graduates Increase.
Within the same period, the pub
lication further shows, the ijumber
of graduates from public high school
has Increased 74.3 per cent. In
1933-24 there were approximately
7,000 high school graduates, where
as in 1928-29 a total of 12,145 white
and 1,262 tolored boys and girls
finished these public instructions, a
grand total of 13,407. The greatest
increase in number of graduates
has been in the rural schools, more
than 4,000 against only 1,000 in
city schools.
“This growth in this field of edu
cation,” the publication further
points out, “is significant in that
it represents an entirely new and
determining factor in the life of
the state. It represents an ex
panding of the education system
from what it was 25 years ago, and
the setting up of a practically new
institution offering a course not
primarily for college entrance but
one including subjects planned for
those boys and girls who show
themselves able to profit by them
either as a foundation for a college
education or for a position in the
every-day life of the state.” ,
Not only are a large number of
boys and girls attending the high
schools than formerly, but accord
ing to the figures presented by
School Facts, they are attending
better. At present 85 out of every
100 white pupils enrolled and 81
out of every 100 colored pupils en
rolled, attend on an average every
day.
“Dope.’
(Prom The Macon Telegraph.)
There Is a hint of irony In the
suit of the Coca Cola company to
restrain another corporation from
registering and using the word
“dope” in connection with its pro
duct. The Coca Cola company spent
millions of dollars educating the
public away from the use of “dope”
and “coke,” two nicknames that
arose out of the federal court hear
ing of nearly two decades ago in
which it was charged that Coca
Cola contained a drug. The public
was about weaned away from ihe
nickname. Even the “soda-Jerkers”
in drug stores had got to asking
one, “What?” when one ordered a
“dope.” All this had been brought
about by the use of advertising to
educate the public away from using
the word "dope,” but when another
company wants to capitalize the
word, the Coca Cola company ad
mits it is too much of an asset to
relinquish.

Defeats Polkville
Brooks, Forward, Leads Lattlmore
Offense. Daggerheart, Center,
Leads No. 8 Boys,
(Special to The Star.)
Lattlraore, Jan. 8.—Coach Hood's
Lattlmore highs defeated a fast five
from PolkvtUe here Monday night
by a 22-9 count. The feature of the
game was the almost perfect de
fense cf the locals. Polkville started
off with a bang, but their guns were
silenced about the middle of the
first quarter. As a result, Polkville
failed to register again until late In
the final period. Time after time
they advanced the ball up the floor
only to have their passes broken up
by some member of the Lattlmore
defense. The passing attack of
Hood's eager* was also very com
mendable.
Brooks, Lattlmore right forward,
played a bang up defensive game
and In the meantime registered 12
points to lead the offensive play.
Gold was another member who fig
ured greatly in that almost Impreg
nable defense.
Daggerheart led the play for the
losers with 6 points. All told It was
an exciting ball game with plenty
of action from beginning to end
The line-ups and scoring were as
