The Eternal Exile.
"Dominion over every living thing
Is yours,” God said. "The fowl with

Scarlet and silver fish beneath the

The beasts font-footed and the

In Eden's grassy, my creatures great
and small
Are less than man—be tr aster of
them all.”
But far from Eden, quaking and
afraid
Walks Adam, lord of ail his Lord
has made;
Biles brick on brick to wall himself

From empty meadows and the open
day,
Or fearing ancient forests, iear

Yet daylight over and hi:; labor
spent
Must still at evening, to he well

Lock out the great night with small
keys and bars.
To light false moons and tempor

Notes on
Fashions.
Brief notes from Pans advise that
the newest thing for evening wear is
the snaky, vampy, close-fitting
princess dress. These dresses simu
tate some -fullness. -by.-the .use. of.
shaped flounces running up and
down the skirt.
Favorite colors and fabrics ior ev
ening wear axe pale shades of pink
in satin or tulle. For sports clothes
combinations of beige and green,
brown and green, or red and green
flecked with yellow are most popu
lar. Eggshell and cream still re
main the most desirable colors for
blouses, with suits of any color.

“Misuse” Of Money -
Claimed In Raleigh
Printing Money Goes In Salaries In
Office Of Secretary Of
State
Raleigh, July 31.—On the ground
that the office of the Secretary of
State •■misused” part of its printing
appropriations for salaries during
the last fiscal year, the State Bud
get Bureau has not allotted the de
partment its funds for the present
quarter, it was learned last week.
Relations between the office and 1
the bureau are, to say the least, i
strained but Governor Gardner, as
director of the budget and Secretary
of State Hartness are expected to
settle the differences in time to
meet the payroll at the end of the
mOtith. In the meantime, the sec
retary’s office force considers itself
lucky in having enough stamps on
hand.
The total appropriation of the
Secretary of State last year was
$33,180, but on account of economy,
the expenditures were cut to $22,
204. Nevertheless, Henry Burke, as
sistant director of the budget, says
that the office spent $036 too much
for salaries last year and left out
standing printing bills of $293
which, he says, should have been
paid out of last year’s funds. The
present quarter's allotment is being
held up until it is decided who will
pay the $293 and with' what.
In the meantime, the office of the
Secretary of State has not made its
reduced budget for the present
year. This is another matter that
will have to be settled’ soo«i. The
Governor has - already taken a po
sition against reduction of salaries
as opposed to reduction of person
nel and the greater part of the sec
retary’s budget concerns salaries.

and attempted to make away with !
jewelry taken from the window, Is ]

Police Chief McBride Poston last
week received a letter from the pro

he was being held there, except to;
say that he gave his age as 18.

Seven Foot Snake
Ranges In Cleveland
B. B. (’abanlss Finds His Skin,
Shedded in The Woods Near
His Home
You've seen big snakes and lone
ones, but perhaps the longest snake
in Cleveland county is a seven foot
er which ranges in the neighbor
hood of the Cabaniss school house.
You might wonder why its size and
length are so well known when this
.snake has not been seen. At least,
no one has ever reported having
seen it.
The snake shed its skin and the
skin was found by Mr. B. B. Caba
niss who brought it to Tire Star of
fice Saturday where it has been
placed on display. It measures sev
en feet long from mouth to tail and
is in perfect condition. This means
that there are no breaks in the skin,
transparent skin. If snakes don't
frighten you, try to capture this
monster. Many circuses have shown
lesser snakes and charged for see
ing them. There might be a pro
fitable sale for this seven footer.

Will Hoey Be
Candidate For
Overman Seat?
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)
olds, Aubrey L. Brooks, of Greens
boro, and Governor Gardner.
"For at least fifteen years", com
ments the Greensboro News,
"friends of Clyde R. Hoey have
talked him as a good senatorial
prospect. Within that time he has
served in Congress, retired volun
tarily, canvassed for Al Smith and
a tinited party, ‘prosecuted com
munists and kept himself contin
ually in the public gaze.” But still
the Greensboro paper knows no
more about Hoey's plans for 1932
than the average citizen of Hoey’s
home town, and that is nothing
whatsoever.
.Vo Persuading
Mr Hoey goes blandly along,
handing out a smile and a word of
appreciation for all who mention
the race to him, but saying noth
ing at all of a definite nature. Of
course, his home-town section
would thoroughly enjoy seeing him
in the Senate, but he is of the type
one doesn't persuade to do things;
and the section for which he has
done eonsiderable thinking and
leading is still content with the be
lief that he is capable of making
his own plans.
What the other prospective' can
didates will do is equally as puzz
ling. Mr. Morrison is dodging the
Carolina heat wave in Canada, Mr.
Brooks is attending to his legal af
fairs in Greensboro, Governor Gard
ner keeps right on at his governing
job, and Our Bob is bobbing about
in regular form, Mr. Overman is
speaking over radio and the po
litical dopesters are guessing.
Morrison and Hoey appear to be
the strongest prospective contend
ers. Hoey has been a prospect for 15
years; Morrison almost as long,
since he was governor; Reynolds
took a fling at unseating Overman
in 1926, and Mr. Brooks tried it in
1920. That the latter two have
senatorial ambitions is evidenced
by their candidacies in the past,
and tic or two things have cropped
up to indicate that, Morrison and
Hoey have felt the bee in their
bonnets. Mr. Morrison said In
1926, or 1928, he would not oppose
Senator Overman, but might be a
candidate later. At the time he
was of the opinion, no doubt, that
Overman would not be a candidate
in 1932, Now that the veteran
plans to run again, the Morrison
attitude is not known.
In the hectic 1928 convention at
Raleigh bystanders recall that Mor
rison met Hoey in the Sir Walter
lobby, walked up to him and said,
"Clyde Hoey, I hope somebody
takes a notion to put you on the
Superior court bench, in the cabi
net or somewhere before 1932, and,
remember this, I'll help you get the
job.’’
It was a bit of good-natured ban
tering between the two big political
leaders, but It Is likely that each
looked upon the other as his most
formidale opponent in a senate con
test.
The Bailey-Simmons affair did
hot alter the standing of the two to
any appreciable extent. Both sup*
ported Bailey as they supported
Smith, and it was their support, as
two of the chief lieutenants in the
old Simmons palace guard, which
had much to do with the outcome.
“Only one thing,'’ muses the
Greensboro News, “is certain ir»
connection with Overman's seat: it
will go to somebody else shortly,
whether he is removed by death or
the electorate".
But the News doesn't venture to
say to whom it will go. Neither
does anyone else in a definite way;
one guess seems as good as another.
And if outsiders keep questioning
Shelby people about it, it might pay
the civic clubs to erect big bill
boards on the several extremities of
the town informing, in big letters;
“We don't know whether Clyde
Hoey will run for the Senate or not;
but come in and see us: He’s a
pretty hospitable, cheerful fellow,
and the town boosts that it has the
same characteristics "
