Certainly a shortage of suitable trees is not preventing Shelby boys from getting in the tree-sitting endurance contest.

A SHELBY TRAVELLING man was in Salisbury the v.eek after Senator Overman announced that he would be a candidate for the Senate again. Salisbury Is Over mans home town There were 17 men in a drug store there. Someone decided, says the Shelby man, to take a poll of the 17 on the prospec tive senatorial race. Overman got 10 votes, Hoey 5, Morrison 2. A LETTER written back home to his boys T. W. Jr., Topis and Roland by T. W. Hamrick, now in San Francisco, describes his motor trip through the southwest, and is one of the most interesting, cleverly writ ten epistles we’ve ever re.id. RUSH HAMRICK, the wholesale drug man with the well-known bas so voice, has a new joke. And being new it’s about a Scotchman, of course. This Scotchman, according to Mr Hamrick. pi|t in a long distance telephone call, was informed that he could talk just so long. There was much that the Scotchman want ed to say, so he had the call delay ed until he could get in communica tion with Floyd Gibbons, the rapid fire radio speaker, and have Gibbons carry on the conversation lor him. SCENE: Superior court room in Shelby. CHARACTERS: A couple of those fellows who always find time to at tend court and sit about among the lawyers. FIRST SPEAKKER: "Well, these rains certainly have made things look better. Everything that grows HUDSON the World’s Largest Selling i t / "EIGHT” Registrations officially recorded by every State in the Union show that for this year more Hudson Eights have been delivered to consumers than any other eight in the world. See For Yourself the Increasing Number of Hudson Eights on the Street Hudson Beauty, Hudson Quality, Hud son Performance and Hudson Value frankly question the wisdom of ever paying more for any car. They hare made Hudson the world's largest selling Eight. And the growing power of this conviction is shown in the increasing numbers you see everywhere.

That rose In Clyde Hoey's coat this morning looks fresher and peppier than any I've seen him wear mg this summer.” SOLICITOR SPURGEON SPUR ling, the home county boy who went away from him (to Lenoir) and made good, has certainly perked up since he became State prosecutor In this district. Give him another year or two of court work and he will be as nattily dressed as Solicitor John Carpenter, the Gastonia bar rister, who visited court here last week all dolled up in white flannel trousers, brown-striped, with brown coat, tie, kerchief and shoes to match. •i A HEADLINE in the tri-weekly which won the Savory cup (if you recall which one that was) informs that "Shelby Girls Are Safe in Italy.” The headline, presumably, referred to the earthquake, but what if those Shelby lassies run up another Italian dishwasher with eyes and hair like Rudy Valentino? 1 DEMOCRATS IN DOUSE FIGHT Discontent In Republican Farm Sections to Help Other Party Washington—The wheat situation has been shaping into such a major political issue that Democrats have revived their hopes of capturing the next House of Representatives. They think that farmers are so sore at the recent range of low prices that Democrats will be elected here and there in agricultural districts to replace Republicans and that these gains, combined with those expected in the border states and industrial areas, may be just about enough Democratic congressmen to do the trick. There are persistent reports here that the wheat farmers are not quite reconciled to the fact, admit ted by the government, that they are getting for their wheat just about half what it cost them to produce it. No farmer has yet been able to figure out how he can make any money on that basis and de spite his old reputation for being tractable in election years there has always been a theory that the son of the soil would revolt sooner or later. But on Other Hand Chances of a political upset, how ever, are diminished by the fact that the men elected to Congress by' farmer votes have generally fought the farmer's battles here and in nearly all cases are able to point to their votes for the McNary Haugen bill or the export deben ture plan. Many of those up for reelection are now beating the drum more loudly than ever for their down trodden constituents. Senators Capper and Allen of Kansas, for instance, have been demanding that the government buy up a hundred miuTon bushels of wheat in order to raise prices. The administration is left in a very unenviable hole just as long as it stands to suffer when the farmers lose on their grain. There is no possible chance of camou flaging the change in wheat prices as employment figures are some times camouflaged. And any op timistic statements about the fu ture trend of prices probably would be fatal. Looking only to drastic curtail ments of wheat acreage as the farmer’s salvation, the administra tion can't say anything that would encourage more planting. In fact, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde has told the farmers that price levels in the next few years would be lower than they have in the past and that the growers might as well face the fact. The big drive to sell acreage re duction to the grain belt met with angry outcries and there were vio lent disputes which found Chair man Legge of the Farm Board tell ing people to go to hell and being accused of calling the state of Kan sas a “hog in the trough.” The president is standing by the Farm Board and the Farm Board is standing by the president, al though it might be said more ac curately that they are leaning groggily against each other as they survey the situation after operating the big new farm relief policy for a year. Mr. Hoover's attitude is that the board was created by Congress and given a lot of money and that inasmuch as the responsibility is the board's he should keep hands off. It wouldn’t do any good to fire Legge, as some people have de manded, and Hoover knows it. Unnamabl* The traveler was on his way east but he had gotten no further than the fever-and-ague district of South Carolina. As the train jerked to a stop at one particular desolate town he put his head out of the window and called to a native propped against a post: . “Tell me, what do you call this dried up, dreary, onery, low-down place?” “That’s near enough, stranger,” was the melancholy answer.

The editions of the Record make a sizeable pile for the period since cither house has been in regular session, containing hundreds of thousands of words in “speeches” which never wen- spoken.
