' Filipinos Must Quit Polygamy in 20 Years Manila, P. I.—Polygamy, wlilch prevails among the Mohammedans, of the Philippines in Mindanao and Sulu, despite an American feedral law prohibiting It, will be abolished twenty years hence, under a new amendment to the marriage law passed by the Philippine legislature and approved by Governor General Da via. The Christian elements of the is lands wonted polygamy abolished j immediately, but the legislature d.e- 1 that it would be better to ter minate that form of marriage gran ■ i ~Hy The derision was based upon e c”tene \ for the Mohammed-m . Filipinos, or Moros, deeply resent j en- oachfncmt upon thrlr customs rrf In the past have resisted with, arms attempts to change them afcn ptly. | The Koron te’Js a Moro that he may take unto himself four wives and the tribe thinks that book ts the last word on the subject. The American law against polyg amy is not. enforced in Mindanao and Sulu because cf the policy of Interfering as little as passible whh the customs of the natives. Another amendment to the mar riage law makes It easier for Amer- ’ leans and other foreigners to be married in the Philippines. Under a law' passed In 1928 persons con- 1 templating marriage had to produce | the baptismal or birth certificates and witnesses whom they had known for several years who would j swear that the contracting parties j were not married to some one else Since It was difficult, for many foreigners to meet these require-! ments when far from home and old friends, they went. to Hongkong, Shanghai, or Japan to be married. They also spent their honeymoons In those places with the result that the Philippines lost mbney. The new law lifts these restrictions. i Sore Throat?

Recently he crime in c Trying rn arm load of photographs, co’lected by »'is father’s firm, of old Shelby over a long period of years. If it were possible to reproduce all those old photos, Shelby foMcs would sit in later tonight locking at them and talking then they ever have listening in on what A1 Smith calls the au-cito. » * ,« A PUBLISHED reminiscence of 'Id da’-s so works upon the mcm 'ry cells that the- old timers, par ticularly, b; ; n visioning street scenes In Ehclby as they were bad; then, but a picture In print will not work tricks with the memory with the same degree of satlsfac lon ns real photos. Some day when you have time, drop by the Hamrick place and see that, collection of photos. If you're not Interested enough in them to 'inger for some time, we’ll gladly pay your radiator alcohol bill for nest August. Meantime, we’ll do the best we -an for you and tell you about them. * • * THU MOST interesting of the collection, In our opinion, and one that will Interest any Shelby resi dent, Is a photo of a carnival show ing here no telling how many years ago.' The carnival tents were erect ed where the fountain is now lo cated on the east side of the court -quare. Tire most outstanding Item n the photograph, which is a large one and ta' cs In the entire carnival ground. Is that of the ferrls wheel. Every scat In the vertical merry go-round Is filled—and how! The flappers taking the thrilling ride with their sweeties have on long weeping skirts and large hats pro "udlng at the front much like the ats wern by firemen. Shelby ap arently hadn’t been about and ■ecu so many things in those days, lor standing around on the ground are dozens of people gawking at he ferrls-wliecl oddity. Another photo Is of the first Na ional bank corner. Six people,.one ''or.se and buggy are in sight, the treets and sidewa'ks are of dirt, end telephone poles are here, there nd everywhere. Another view, apparently of about the same age. is of the op posite side of the street, the Union Trust corner, diaries L. Eskridge ,vas then running a millinery and jewelry store where the Smoke Shop now stands, and Evans Mc '•rayer operated a clothing shop ' OMMISSIONER'S RESALE OF LAND.

The fronts of both stores are clearly shown In the photo. * • • The present College Inn, or Victor aotel. Is pictured In the days when It was a college for girls. The old towers on the building as shown In the photo have long since been removed. One of the most Interesting pho tos to new residents, and the young people, will, undoubtedly be. that of the first Presbyterian church, a wooden building, but handsomely designed and painted. A lively scene in the group Is that of the Seaboard wreck near Ellenboro on May 28, 1911. Scores of people are standing about look ing and digging in the wreckage of the locomotive and cars. The original First Baptist church Is In the collection as Is the first Cleveland Springs hotel, In front of which are two buggies with a cou ple of young sparks assisting their long-skirted patootles to alight. A scene In the collection entirely new to this department Is a photo of old Williams home on the cor ner where the Central Methodist church now stands. It Is a two ntory affair, somewhat of the Span ish type, with a porch all around the second floor but no porch at all on the ground floor. Just to the right of the odd residence may be seen the one-story wooden postof fice building. A very interesting photo Is that of a two-story brick building on the Cleveland Bank A Trust comer. The sign on the wall shows that it was occupied by Martin St Com pany. Grocers. On the right of the building, up North LaFayetle ■trect, are several small one-story business buildings of wood and tin puuiu ui n lew ytrtua mm . shows the new T. W. Hamrick building just to the right of the Martin grocery. Several of those standing In front of the Hamrick place may be recognized despite the odd styles of the day. There are T. W. Hamrick, Frank Ham rick and Oscar Palmer, all sporting derby hats; Joe Suttle with a snappy, roll-brim hat, and Miss Jessie Hamrick with her hair done in the prevailing style of the day. ^ big advertising clock stands near the sidewalk Just in front of the building, and the business places to the right, up North LaFayette. are J. L. Suttle's store, and George b. English's monazite office. IN WITH the photo collection of the Hamricks are two aged booklets advertising Shelby. One was issued in 1905. of which there are several copies in Shelby, and the other, of which It Is said only two or three copies are in existence, was Issued in 1889, Two of the outsandlng views In the 1889 booklet are of Sumter street, the chief residential section then, and of the Seaboard station and water tank. The railroad was j new here then and much whoopee | was mach over the fact that "this thriving little town now has rail connections.” More anon concerning these two booklets and their content*. Readers Interested may call by this office and examine bcth booklet* together with a birds-eye view of Shelby made some 20 years ago. This photo shows more clearly the growth of the ! town than any to existence. GETTING BACK to more recent events: Not long since The Star car- ; rled an item about Parson Hayes, of Central Methodist, having a good shooting eye. The Greensboro News paragrapher took note of the item and made the following comment, which may be of Interest to ‘Shorty* Long, the new game warden: "Rev. L. B. Hayes of the Central Meth odist church, D. W. Harris and S. G. Maxwell of Shelby Inform the Cleveland star that they killed 75 doves In one afternoon. If they had killed one more, somebody would have been honor bound to tell the game warden.1’ OLD MAN Henderson's friend Senator pill, for. which the. Old Man has other names, may object to this paragraph, but snitched from the American Legion Weekly it is too clever to resist, and well hope the ex-doughboys will stand by us.

Bob's income was small and there were so many things that ire had to have. So I suggested that we do without a tele phone. I told Bob that I could get along all right because mother’s house wasn't far assay ard there ssaa a public telephone in the store around the corner. But Bob wouldn't hear to it. Good old Bob—he knew I'd be by myself a lot and that a telephone would help to keep me from being lonely. And if tnything should happen, you know, the telephone it certainly the quickest way to get help. I was pleasantjy surprised when I learned how inexpensive a tele phone really is. Why, my dear, when you consider how much it means to you the cost is neat to nothing. You can enjoy all the conve niences of a telephone for a very few cents a day, and ordering 1 one it a simple matter. Just call the business office or, if you prefer, see any telephone employee.
