Buggy Ric!e Takes
Him to Gang
Recorder Kennedy Rules That In
toxicated Driving Appl’es to
Driver.
The fellow who wrote tnrt tmty
"Thanks for the Buggy Hide” should
make the acquaintance of a white
man by the name of Bryson hailing
from the Kings Mountain section, j
Last week-end Bryson went out
for a drive in his buggy, and that
buggy ride, after several detours,
one to the county court room, seems
d'st'ned to end up at the No. 6
township chain gang camp.
Violated Law.
Bryson’s drive became en out-of
the-ordinary buggy ride because he
took on some several drinks, it came
out in court, before he tock his ride,
and because County Judge Horace
Kennedy ruled that an intoxicated
rrqm at the reins in a buggy is vio
lating the law Just as much as ar>
intoxicated man a' the strerin
wheel of an automobile. Rather, ac
cording to the county judge, the law
made the ruling and not the coun
ty court.
Of course a drunken driver in a
buggy may not be as dangerous on
the highway rs a drunken driver in
a car, but Judge Kennedy peered
'nto his law hooks and found that
the law says “vehicle" and does not
restrict Itself to “motor vehicle.”
Driving Privileges Revoked.
The last legislature made things
harder for drunken .drivers by say
ing that the minimum punishment
for driving on the hlghwry while
intoxicated should be a fine of $50
or two months labor on public
works. There wasn’t anything else
for the recorder to do but pop a $50
fine on the buggy driver. And th£
law requires, too, that Judges ta£e
awaf'efriving privileges for a certain
time from convicted drunken driv
ers, and, therefore, to the sentence
he added “rnd the defendant is not
to drive again for three months.”
The Judge did . not make it clear
whether he meant an auto, a buggy,
or both; he merely said “not to
drive again on the public highway!
for three months.”
And at that juncture thia story
would end ordinrrlly, for court sen
tences are usually the end of a
stdry. But as it happened Bryson,
the buggy driver, did not have
enough available cash to pay the
$50 fine plus the costs, and it now
seems as if his buggy ride may ne
cessitate two months work bui'dtng
rords, streets and bridges in No. 6
Township.

and pathos as well as the deep
spiritual instincts of the race. Her
singing of negro spirituals and ban

the outstanding interpreters of ne

Mrs. Aiken will bring a wide and
varied program, mostly humorous
but well balanced. She will be as

DUKE LOSES IN TITLE
GAME FOR CAGE CROWN
The basketball quint representing

years and has gone to the finals

Uneducated Fill Court Dockets
The best antidote for crime
is education, according to an ob
servation made in the county
court here by Recorder Horace
Kennedy.
A few weeks back Recorder
Kennedy read the results of a
survey made at the state pri
son by Governor Gardner: That
survey revealed that there are
very few, if any, high school
graduates among the state
convicts. and the Cleveland
county judge decided to do a bit
of investigating the %whys and
wherefores of crime himself.
During a recent session of
the Cleveland county court 15
defendants faced the bar of
justice. Judge Kennedy asked
i
each defendant as his case came
np how much education he had
received.
Not a one of the nine white
defendants had been beyond the
eighth grade; and most of them
had not been that far advanced
when they left school for one
reason or another. Only one or
two of the negro defendants
had been to school at all.
"It would be considerably
cheaper,’ is the deduction of the
recorder, “to educate all of the
county children, white and
black, than to send a big per
centage of the uneducated to
jail and the chain gang. And.
undoubtedly. It would be much
better for them.”
Some Chance Of
District G.O.P.
Gathering Here
Republicans Gathered
Here In 1928
Jonas Was Nominated In Shelby In
1828 And Successful CampalfB
Plans Made Here.
IX the Republicans of the ninth
congressional district are supersti
tious, there Is a likelihood that the
ninth district G. O. P. convention
held here in 1928 may rctfrn In
April this year.
It was in April 1928 that the Re
publicans of this district met at
Cleveland Springs hotel, nominated
Chas. A. Jonas for congress, man
p#d out their campaign plane, and
sent a Republican to congress from
this normally Democratic district
for the first time In years. Xt Is
generally understood among the
Republicans of the district that
Jonas will be re-nominated, and hi
view of that understanding local
Republicans reason that since the
district G. O. P. started Its most
successful campaign In Shelby two
years ago It should meet here again
to map out a drive for sending Con
gressman Jonas back into office.
Not Decided Yet.
So far as local Republican lead
ers know, no definite plans regarl
ing the April convention have been
formulated. Postmaster J. H. Qiunn,
prominent Cleveland county Re
publican, stated today that the
county Republican executive com
mittee has not as yet made any
overtures to convention officials
with the Idea of bringing conven
tion back here, but he added that
Cleveland Republicans would oe
glad to have the convention this
year again.
"Shelby Is about midway In the
district," Mr. Quinn reasons, “and
is In convenient travelling distance
for delegates in any of the comi
ties in the district.’’
.In 1928 the Republicans of his
district held one of the liveliest ses
sions on record atj the Cleveland
Springs hotel but*since that time
the Cleveland Springs he tel has
been destroyed by fire. However,
local Republicans are ready to show
Republicans of the other counties
In the district that the new Hotey
Charles has ample and convenient
faclltles for entertaining the con
vention this year.
Mr. S. T. Henry, of Spruce Pine,
district chairman, will In all likeli
hood set the date and place of the
meeting. Mr. Henry expressed pleas
ure at the reception given the con
vention in 1928, and since that time
he has been one of the chief bacit
ers In the mountain counties of the
Cleveland county fairs. Contacts
made by him here In connection
with the fair and the convenient
location of Shelby for delegates
from other counties may tend to
influence him to bring the biennial
gathering to Shelby.

Ground Hog Backed
Up By Blum’s as to
Bad March Weather
Bitter Cold And Storms Ahead Dar
ing Month Sajr* Famous Old
Almanac,
Last week there were those about
She.lby and Cleveland county who
gave the ground hog and his proph
etic ability the horse laugh. Regu
lar spring days, buds bursting out,
blooms showing up here and there.
Then came Sunday and a howling
March wftnd. Regular winter weath
er. And the ground hog, no douot,
let out a chuckle much like a horse
laughs when mildly amused.
And, according to Blums, an al
manac that has been relied upon
by farmers for more than 100 yeaus,
the ground hog has any number ot
chuckles or hee-haws coming his
way before the end of March.
In fact, Blum’s backs up every
thing the ground hog said, or did
not say when he saw his shadow
on February 2 and darted back in
his hole while predicting six weeks
of rough weather. And Blum's says
it a little stronger. Instead of ush
ering in Miss Springtime on March
16, the end of the ground hog sea
son, Blum’s predicts other cold
snaps right up until the end of the
month. I
From the 4th to the 6th of March,
says Blum's, the weather will pe
mild, but on the 6th there will be
local storms. The 7th to the lOt.i
will be a severe storm period “with
unusually cold winds or a blizzard. ”
Two mild days are promised from
the 11th through the 13th, but oe
glnnlng on the 13th and continuing
through the 16th cold and some
stormy weather is forecast. Mild
weather is assured for the 17 to 20,
but from the 20th to the 23rd, savs
Blum's, comes the soliterraneous
storm of the "line storm.” From tne
24th to the 27tli there will be a col!
wave with high winds, and very
cold weather Is promised from the
28th to the 31st.
So, If Blum's is to be believed
the ground hog could have slapped
on an extra fortnight or so of
woodchuck weather. Anyway, this
endorsement of the prophetic mai
mot might be pasted up for future
reference.

Suppose Paul Webb
Can Beat Simmons
In Senate Contest?
Paul Webb, druggist and offi
cial glad-hander to all Shelby
| ddlMs, announced in Mon
day's Star that be would be a
candidate for the senate State
senate down at Raleigh, y'know.
Which isn't such hot news, of
course, because the announce
ment appeared In Monday’s
Star, and not today's.
But Tuesday morning the
senatorial candidate came stroll
ing down street, whistling as
exuberantly as he did‘ before
last October. About a half
block down he met a citizen
from the rural sections, one to
whom the druggist has no
doubt sold garden seeds, paints,
and maybe epsom salts In years
gone by.
"Good morning, Mr. Webb!”
greeted the visitor to town. "See
you’ve come out for the senate,
and 1 just want to tell you that
I hope you beat the dickens out
of old man Simmons.”
"Thank you very much,” re
plied Mr. Webb. "But you—ah
-h-hh, y’see and there he
hesitated. It wouldn’t do to show
up his friend's lack of infor
mation. He might lose a vote,
and it, admittedly, was an em
barrassing predicament. But he
wound it up this way:
"Well, I certainly appreciate
your inter-st. Yesslr: And If
I'm pretty lucky In this race, I
may try to do just that. You
can’t always some times tell.
They say once a fellow gets in
politirs his ambitions arc un
limited. Good day. See yon
again.”
And be whistled bis way on
down the street
