Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By BGNN DRUM. NOT MANY men are fortunate enough to have the op portunity of chuckling over an erroneous report about then own death. Perhaps, however. It isn’t a chuckling matters; such things are a bit too gruesome for chuckling purposes unless one has nerves of steel and a pretty good grip on his imagination. A. L. Richards, the former Shel by police chief who now sells radios, talking machines and the latest song-hit records to Kings Mountain citlsens, is one of those who had such an opportunity this week. Monday shortly after the noon hour the report spread over Shel by—and spread with the speed of wildfire, as such tilings do—that Richards had dropped dead on the .street at Kings Mountain. Shelby Is quite adept at reporting deaths.

News of the Richards j death reached The Star from three j supposedly reliable sources. The re-! port appeared so authentic that the | Richards photo was dug up from the j paper’s photo gallery. It was near press hour and the photo was rush ed to the composing room, and the make-up men began to shift tile form of page one for a big display headline which would Inform of J,hc unexpected death of a well-known citizen. Then the entire report blew up, so to apeak, when a call was made to kings Mountain to get the details. Richards was not dead, thank you, and was feeling fine. His death, as was that of Mark Twain, was “grossly exaggerated.” It waa one of those occurrences which have taught newspapermen to check up on all reports before transforming the report into cold print. * • • To those who have never been behind the screen in the newspaper game, the method used by news papers in getting set for a death, particularly of a prominent citizen, might be Interesting, although there may be those who consider it sonie HOSIERY HOSPITAL, Inc.

In i lie morgue is lied nil the data and sidelights on ife .of prominent citizens; filed in uch a way that a reporter or the e-write desk may lay hands upon t and prepare the story for use /ithin a few minutes time. Ordt larliy the career section of the life >f celebrities Is already written. iVhen the celebrity dies-all that is leeessary is a lead for tire story, riving the details of the death anc> uneral arrangements. In this age if speed, and newspapers must show nore speed than any other business rr profession in order to serve up Lire news while It is news, such pre parations arc absolutely necessary. The newspapers aren't anxious to hurry any one along to the grave; It's their business to be prepared to serve the news while it is hot. The up-to-date, successful cafe doesn't force a. patron to wait 30 minutes for an order to cook; the majority of the more popular dishes are ready to be dished up when the order is called back. Some of the most Interesting in side stories of the newspaper game center about deaths and death vigils. In the larger cities when a leading citizen is seriously ill, the re-write desk digs his record out of the morgue, gets the photos ready, and, in many instances, only a few lliies are left to be written when the notable dies. Occasionally th" celebrity fools the physicians and the newspapermen and does not die. The data goes back into the morgue, and another story has gone blooey. It's all in the game; the elevator boy, if you'll pardon the old saw,' has no more ups and downs than the newspaperman. But don’t get disconcerted and lose many hours of sleep if it. should occur to you that, your own obituary may be written and wait ing your demise. The merchant who gets ahead does not watt until he has a customer to order a blue serge suit; he keeps them in stock.

Socks to Break Cl,000,000 Will Mrs. Madeline Wolcott Sanborn, Parisian actress and second cousin of the late Governor Roger Wol cott, appeared in Middlesex Pro bate Court, Massachusetts, in an attempt to break the million-dollar will of her father, J.

(International Nr»«r««!> ^ We Chew 105 Sticks Of Gum During Year _ I Chewing gum may mean a past time to some, a digestive aid to oth ers, and an abhorrence to many more, but to the department of com merce its manufacture means an other industry over, which America lias a "practical monopoly." In 1927. we produced 86.047,000 pounds of the stick stuff. Each pound re present 147 sticks three, inches long; "If pieced end to end, they would reach"—well, several times around the world anyway However, the ehowirtg gum in dustry Is not suffering from over production. Consumption in this country, according to government reports, average 105 sticks a person during one year, and the demand increases yearly. Our soldiers carried the "Yankee custom" across the seas during the world war and firmly established it there. One finds chewing gum in dustries in foreign lands, many of the plants being branches of, Amer- j lean establishments. Exports or chewing gum, which were valued at only $200,000 before the war, now approximate $2,000,000 annually. Our leading customers are the cor rect, reticent people of the United kingdom. Italy is second. In spite of our "practical mono poly,” we cannot boast independ ence of other nations in the pro duction of gum. Its basic ingred ients, chicle comes to us from Cen tral America. America supplies the peppermint and spearmint flavors, but licorice extract is imported from Turkey, cloves from Zanzibar and cinnamon from Ceylon emir WEEKS AT A TIME "I had rheumatic pains so bad that I couldn’t leave my bed for weeks at. a time.

New York.—Former Kaiser Wil tielm Is willing and even eager to Have an International court-martial determine whether he was respon sible for the outbreak of the World war in 1914, Poultney Bigelow, American historian, declared on his return from a visit with the self exiled ex-emperor. For three days and nights, said Bigelow, who returned today on the Mlnnewaska, he and Wilhelm sat In the former kaiser's great library at Doom, Holland, studying docu ments from imperial files. " At the end of that, time, Bigelow sald. he concluded that Russia pri marily, and England secondarily, were responsible for the conflict. Documents Authentic? "Such Is the case }f the kaiser's documents are authentic,” Bigelow said, “and I believe they are, for In sixty years of friendship I have never known him to have done a crooicea thing. Bigelow went to Doom to mend a friendship between the two which was ruptured at the beginning of the World war—a friendship begun when Bigelow was 17 and Wilhelm thirteen. Their amity ceased when Bigelow blamed the German emper or, in 1914, for starting the war. The venerable"" American, who is 75 and as tall and straight as a steel rod, is distinguished by a brown beard cut square, and streak ed with grey. The son of John Bigelow, United States ambassador to .France under Lincoln, Poultney Bigelow met Wil helm when the latter was a stu dent at Potsdam. Greeted As Friend. “ 'My friend.’ was the former kais er's greeting to me on my arrival and there were tears in both our eyes.” said Bigelow. “Then you apologized to him for the letters you wrote during the war?" Bigelow was asked. “It was less an apology than ad mitting to an- old friend that I was mistaken,’’ Bigelow replied. “You can take German history with a fine tooth comb and you will not find an example of a German mon arch who kept peace as long as Wil helm II. It wasn't in Germany's interest to go to war. It might have been to Russia's and England’s. "If you read 75 years of German history you realize that you can not determine who or what started the war. There were too many forces and factors involved. Who started the Spantsh-American war? Mc Kinley said he did not. No one knows who blew up the Maine. When they tried to try Jefferson Davis after the Civil war. they could not even find definite charges to bring against him.” ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. North Csrollna, Cleveland county.

Pellagra Is not a communicable disease. It results from lack of a bal anced diet It is fount, not only in those countie^ where conditions are depressed but also In some ot the most prosperous communities, Cleveland county for example The Cleveland Star declaring that Shel by physicians estimate that there are at least a thousand cases of pellagra in that county. There is, of course, no excuse for such a state of affairs as this in a county like Cleveland; and the ex planation there CRn only be that many of the people need to have jtheir habits of eating changed. On the farms of the south too Inuch i "fat bark" and corn bread has al-. ways been consumed to the exclus ion of other foods which are quite as nourishing and which, if eaten, would make pellagra extremely, rare. There was a time when the theory was entertained that corn bread was responsible for pellagra. But It was not the eating ol corn bread that caused this disease. It was the failure to eat vegetables and fruits. Plenty of vegetables, plenty of fruits, plenty of sweet milk" will banish pellagro from'any com munity. Pellagra is not always so severe In its symptoms ae to stop those who have it from working. But of course it does stop many and equal ly of course it impairs the effective ness of those who have it in milder form.' Its prevalence in any com munity calls for n campaign of edu cation, for pellagra is reeminently a disease that can be controlled and eradicated by education. IVhy Husbands Sigh.
