WEDNESD’Y, APR, 30, 1930 , TWINKLES The old saying about “being full of pep and ginger” heeds to be amended according to the Louisville Courier Journal. So it does, and why not make it read “full of ginger and paralysis?” • When this is read Judge Parker’s appointment to the Supreme court bench may have been ratified or rejected. Regardless of which happens it appears to us as if the Re publican interests in the North, East and West care noth ing for the South—other than the South’s vote. Come an other election the South may remember that. Another Confederate veteran, Devenney Parker, has joined his comrades in the Great Beyond. Just a few more years and taps will have been sounded over all the brave throng which followed Lee and Jackson. Shelby and Cleve land county should accord every honor possible to the re maining veterans when they gather here this Spring for their annual U. D. C. dinner. Two news stories close together in the last issue of The Star indicate that this is going io be another one of those good years in agricultural Cleveland. One told of the rec ords of Cleveland farmers who have always produced their own “hog and hominy,” and will continue to do so, while the other passed out the information that another Cleveland farmer hopes to harvest a bale of cotton from a row 6,050 yards long which he planted last week. City officials have requested local drug stores and soda shops to close their doors during church hours, and, also, to put an end to curb service on Sunday. The stores and shops have courteously responded to the request and are to be commended. It was a good move, for all of us should be able to do without our dopes for the few hours while services are1 on, and at other hours during the day we should want them enough to walk in after them, or hot get them at all. PROTECTING THE OLD THE FIRE AT THE COUNTY HOME last week was a fi nancial blow to the county, but, as is usually the caBe, it pould have been considerably worse. The damage will total a couple thousand dollars, but the majority of the outbuild ings burned, we learn, had about reached the point where they should have been replaced. And when the replacing js done we feel sure that every citizen in Cleveland will want every precaution exercised against fire risk. The old people who go there for their last days are entitled to every consid eration and precaution regardless of their unfortunate cir cumstances. Which isn’t saying that they haven’t been so considered. I PROUD OF OUR BANKS £M)VERNOR GARDNER isn’t living in Shelby just, now but he appears to retain his old-time pride in his home county. On his last visit here he referred proudly to the praise he has heard in Raleigh and all over the State of Charles C. Blanton, Shelby banker, and his associates. “It makes me feel mighty safe,” he was quoted in this paper as saying, “for my home people to know that our banks are absolutely sound, well managed, honestly directed and that neither of the First National nor any branch of the | Union Trust company has a cent borrowed today and have> combined resources of nearly seven million dollars. My con fidence in Celeveland county and its institutions is greater today than at any time in my life.” To be frank about it, such conditions make all Cleve land county citizens rather proud of themselves and their county. It’s a feeling, you know, not restricted to governors. AMERICA’S WONDER CITY JT WAS JUST A YEAR AGO that a staff writer of The Star on a visit to the Pacific coast came back enthused over the possibilities of Los Angeles some day being the largest city in America. The enthusiasm was to have been more or less expected after close contact with the high-pow ared publicity of California, boosting of the type Brisbane gives the West coast region, for it is hard to understand how a city could make such rapid progress as has Los Angeles, and as is Los Angeles, without seeing it, or without perus ing actual statistics concerning the spread of the Southern California metropolis. It is hard to comprehend the fact that the Los Angeles of today has a population of one and one quarter millions whereas only 1,000,000 people lived there in 1900, but the following comment by the Asheville Citizen upon that topic is enlightening: “A lot of fun is poked at Los Angeles and Southern Cal ifornia but not even the jokers can escape the fact that Los Angeles is one of the wonder cities of the world. Thirty years ago, in 1900, it h%d a population of 102.497. Today its population is estimated at 1.260,000. No magician ever aeh|eved a more marvelous miracle than these figures tell. “Los Angeles has moved forward in seven-league boots because sources of wealth are so rich and so varied. The Business Week uses the opening of Mr. Ford’s new ?3,000,‘ 000 assembling plant and dock at Long Beach, near Los An geles, as a peg on which to hang a story of the amazing transformation which is taking place in Southern California. In thirteen years Los Angeles has risen among manufactur ing cities from 26th to 11th. In 1900 its factory output was valued at .$15,000,000 a year. In 1927 the value was $610, 166,093—over a billion dollars last year. Los Angeles now has 4,215 industrial plants, giving employment to 104,000 wage-earners, and having-a payroll of $160,000,000. Its man ufacturing activity is increasing at the rate of 5,000 em ployees, $7,500,000 in wages and $50,000,000 in additional output every year. It secured 110 new factories last year. “A pretty good record, that, for a city which started out and built its reputation as a tourist report. Not that Los Angeles is not as keen as ever over the tourists. It has reason to maintain its interest in them for, according to the Busi ness Week, they mean an income of $340,000,000 a year to the city. When you add to that the further facts that Los Angeles hafc an enormous income from .agriculture; that the movies employ 30,000 men and women, with payrolls totaling $82,000,000; and that since 1922 the oil industry of Southern Calofornia has developed to a point where it now brings Los Angeles County $114,835,988 a year in direct income, the im pulses back of thd city’s amazing growth become evident. A third of the aviation activity of the entire country is center ed in Southern California and Los Angeles County alone has 55 airports and landing fields, 11 main or transport lines, 17 factories building planes and 10 more building motors.” Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— My Census Report.
