WEATHERS__President and Editor & ERNEST HOST __Secretary and Foreman RENN DRUM----- Newi Editor Entered aa seoond class matter January 1. 1905, at the postoffice •t Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. We wish to call your attention to the fact that It Is and has been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has beta published. This will be strictly adherred to. FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1930 » i TWINKLES A few more Tuesday rains and then the sunshine will begin to work wonders about Cleveland county. Ye Twinkler has been awaiting, more or less eagerly, to hear the census figures on that Eastern Carolina town where Reuben Bland lives. Remember him? | --- « A month from today, if you’ve overlooked, The Star will fee in demand as happens only on rare occasions. That’s the ilay the primary results will be published. It appears as if America will be scared dry yet. Aboul Jthe time “jake paralysis” had drinkers shying at all substi f.utfe types of beverage along came the report that sugarhead 't orn likker is causing an increase in Pellagra. This is the day again in which there will be those who will not get a thrill out of seeing their names in the paper— ,ifor this is the day, you know, when the unpaid tax list is Jjublisbed as required by law. Law-abiding citizens of Cleveland cotfnty will wish a speedy recovery for Police Chief Greel Ware, of Kings Moun tain, whose right hand was shot off early this week while ^carrying:out his duties. Known over the county as an hon Sest, capable officer of the law, he has again demonstrated •that fear does not keep him from his work. WE VOTE BROWN A WINNER I IBERTY MAGAZINE is offering prices of $1,000 a week ■ for those who write the best reasons for being wet or Jjbeing dry in the much-discussed campaign over prohibition fin the United States. The Star considers the statement, by Seth Brown a winner. We do not know Mr. Brown but. he puts the proposition up to the individual in the strongest manner we have seen. Here it is: "How each person can answer the wet or dry question ^n a satisfactory manner: "Take two sheets of paper—head one “Wet” and the other "Dry.” “On the wet sheet write the names of all your friends and acquaintances who are wet: those who favor drinking. On the dry sheet write the names of those who don’t. “Next answer these vital questions: Which list includes {the best men and women? Which are the best citizens? {Which are the best parents to their children? *Which are the most dependable for an employer to hire? Which kind do you want your son or daughter to marry? “Check up your list honestly, you men and women who sare facing the wet or dry situation in this country, and ask {yourselves on which list do you, honestly, before God, want Jto throw your influence?” _ SOME BOYS, THOSE SHELBY HIGHS •pHE LAW OF AVERAGES generally manages after so , 1 long a time to halt most things, but people in and about •Shelby and Cleveland county—particularly those fond of •baseball—have almost reached the conclusion that the ^youngsters who make up Casey Morris’ baseball teams at Sshelby High have never heard anything about such a law. Tomorrow, Saturday, these boys play Mt. Airy here for the Western Carolina baseball championship, and in that »game they may lose. The best of baseball teams must lose #now and then. But regardless of how the game may end, Jthis section must doff its hat to the youngsters who have al ready established one of the” most remarkable records in scholastic athletics. Moreover it is a surprise outfit. Last year Shelby won the State championship for the third time, ^thereby tieing all existing records in North Carolina, but Jfour or five of the best players on the team graduated, in cluding one of the best high school players in the South. Few people hoped for a team rebuilt with untried youngsters around two or three veterans to develop into such an organi sation as has won 15 games so far this year. It’s the third “time poach Morris has taken what appeared to be a hope less group of gangly youngsters and molded them into a winning team. And hereabouts it is generally admitted now that he must have an unusual knack for such things, and a •group of boys who keep coming along each year with the uu ^usual ability to absorb his training. The boys may win tomorrow—hundreds and hundreds of fans and parents hope so—and they may lose, but even If they lose they take a place in the record books by them , selves as the only school which has ever played four times 'for the western championship. A high school band that won a State championship two years in a row, and now a baseballl tefnt about to repeat for the fourth time are keeping the eyes of the State on Shelby. Luck to them, luck mixed with their ability. PARKER AND NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANISM p ENERAL REGRET, unmindful of party lines, was felt over North Carolina when the appointment of Judge ’John J. Parker to the Supreme court was not ratified by the ‘Senate—first, perhaps, because of State pride, and, second, ’because of the stripe of the opposition which defeated him. Leading Tar Heels, Democrats as well as Republicans, join ,* r cd in the fight for him, and, regardless of political ambitions marked out by party politics, steadfastly supported him. The fusion of the organization of colored people and certain labor interests managed to build up the forces which sent the North Carolinian down in defeat, and it is the knowledge that the Senate can be controlled in such a manner that is far from consoling to those who have studied the Parker affair from the standpoint of the best governmental meth ods. However, the big blow of the Parker defeat is that which comes to the Republican party in North Carolina—and in the South. Republican leaders of the State which last year switch ed to the G. 0. P. column haven’t now a foot left upon which to stand in attempting to keep North Carolina Republican. They have no beacon light to hold up in exhorting North Carolina to give up her Democracy and remain Republican. One does not win converts to a new'political faith with out offering some enticement, some reward. What reward, what enticement, can Messrs. Jonas, Jack son, Blair and Butler offer this fall and in the next national election in persuading North Carolina to vote the Rcpubli cun ticket? It was in 3928 that we were told that Hoover and his j party would bring prosperity to all and happiness to the J farmer. The promises have amounted to nothing—and it is so admitted, for when Parker was named to the high court bench by Mr. Hoover, Republicans of North Carolina and the South gleefully proclaimed that the Republican party was then expressing its appreciation to North Carolina and the other Southern States which switched to a new party. Then the labor organizations and the boosters of the colored race got busy and the Parker appointment was re jected. That’s the manner of appreciation the stronghold of the Republican party exhibits for her new Republican recruits in the South. All they want of the South is the South’s vote. Another angle delved into by the Greensboro News leaves the impression—and cast your eyes over the roll tha't voted against Parker—that the victorious side in the Senate was much of an anti-prohibitionists side. Should such be the case, would not the Democracy of the South have a big laugh? Southern states were won to the Republican cause by a plea that a party which has never shown any too much in terest in prohibition would save prohibition for the nation. Then when the administration named a Southerner, more or less as a reward, he was defeated by a Senate group in which many names may be found of leaders who have never shown any too much admiration for prohibition. Had the Democrats of North Carolina not joined in the forces supporting Judge Parker, the Republicans of this State might then have something to howl about.* Blame it upon the partisan Democrats. But the Democrats did stand by Parker, practically every leading Democrat in the State. Add the Parker defeat to the prosperity and farm re lief the Republicans have brought us, and there, if you please, is our card of thanks for voting the Republican ticket. i Mr. And Mr*.
