Lack Of Welcome for Communism. High Point Enterprise.' Communistic agents are reported from time to time to be making personal overtures to the strikers at the textile mills in Bessemer City, only to be spurned. The sentiment of the operatives there is about typ ical of senlnient throughout Indus try in the south. The workers have no friendly Interest in Communism. Communism caught the fancy of a few North Carolinians at Gaston ia, where the workers were sub jected to it without knowing its na ture. Every community, equally Without doubt, has a small percent age of folk who could be persuad ed that communism Is the route to justice and human happiness. But the vast majority at Gastonia or elsewhere in (his part of the world, are as ‘'capitalistic” and as strong ly opposed to communism as a bank ers’ association! Textile union organizers at Greensboro yesterday suggested that southern manufacturers had brought communists here and there at labor centers In order to Impeach the strikers. That Is a wild utter ance mdeed, but It seems fair to Judge that it Is hardly wilder than the conception that southern labor generally is communistic. In the main neither employers nor work ers in the south think of commun ism as a treatment for any of their troubles. Inspect Leaped**.

A Newspaper's Duty. Augusta Herald. Newspapers are in the business of printing the news—good news, bad news, all the news. It is pleasant to print such of the news as is good news. That, which is bad news the papers have no satisfaction in print Ing. But a newspaper is a public insti tution, though It. be privately own ed. It's first duty is to the public. It has no more right to suppress unpleasant news than a juror has to say he will sit only on cases in which acquittal of the accused is a foregone conclusion. No Juror finds pleasure in voting for a verdict that will send a man to prison. No Judge enjoys passing sentence. But these are part at the hard duties of Jurors and Judges. And it is the duty of a newspaper to print the news. It must do that, or cense to be a newspaper. It should strive for accuracy in all things, and be prompt to correct the errefrs of which it will be guilty from time to time, despite its most diligent efforts not to err. But It must print the news. That is its business. For the slogan of the modern newspaper Is this: ‘The public has the right to know.” And the public looks to the news papers to keep it informred.

EFIRD’S DEPARTMENT STORE Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. (T. W. Hamrick send* tn another contribution today from San Fran cisco. describing the magnificent Pacific Fleet review, and he also tells of encountering an Artiona cowboy, a Shelby youngster In Frisco.) The past week here in San Fran cisco has been "Pacific Fleet week.' A week In which Imaginary and mimic warfare has been carried on between the fleet and land forces Several hundred airplanes were hov ering over the city, droping mes sages and bombs, doing stunts, and going through various formalities, all of which was very Interesting. The fleet was reported heading for San Francisco, the big guns at Fort Win field Scott, were loaded and timed ready to fire. Wireless messages were going from the fleet to airplanes, great excitement prevailed, every one was on tip toe, the big guns booming over the Golden Gate. Ail of which wound up with the land forces winning. However the fleet entered the bay, and there was great rejoicing and big celebration on I Thursday which was termed "Har bor day”. Twenty-four thousand ! sailors landed, and I think there were twenty-four thousand girls to meet them. Such greetings of good cheer, clinking of movie machine-! and hul-a-baloo of every kind. I do not know whether each sailor got the right girl or not. It didn't seem to make any difference. Charlie Lattlmore and Frank Ham rick jr„ were with me—a U. S. re cruiting office was near. and I thought to my soul those boys were going to join the navy In spite of everything I could do. And confi dent tally, If I had been under the age limit, all three of us, would have been sailors now. I wish Lee B. Weathers and Mayor McMurry had been here with me. The town was turned over to the sailors to do with as they pleased, and "they did. Free rides, free smokes, free drinks, and free love, my, but something did make them very affectionate. The day before all this happened I received a wire from Charles Lat tlmore in Arizona, saying he would arrive at seven o’clock. There were about 16 different ways he could arrive, but Frank Jr., and I took a chance at the ferry building to meet him. Forty-million people pass through the ferry building In the eourse of a year and I feel quite sure twenty million of them were there that afternoon—nevertheless Charlie got through somehow and we didn't see him. We heard a great commotion outside the building, the riot gong sounded, police whistles were blowing and terrific clattering of horses hoofs on the pavement. X ran out to see the trouble, and there came Charlie down the street lick ety-split. Sombraro waving—spurs clinking and his 'bronco busting'’ the crowd wide open.—“Hurrah, liur rah for old Arizona”, Everybody thought he was Will Rogers adver tising the movie shows. Finally the fire squad stopped him and I thought they were going to put him in Jail, but I assured them, no harm was Intended, that he was merely happy, because he was on the road home after a long stay in the west, so they put him la my care. wHh a promise from me that I wouldn „ let it happen again. The next any a wu*. Frank on a hydroplane, out to see, and Inspect the war ships. The air plane carrier seeinea to interest them most, and by the way—that is certainly one large affair—the big gest thing afloat, so I understood. Seventy-five feet wide and seven hundred feet long. Four decks above the water. One hundred air planes on top deck and tome three thou sand sailor* to run It A regular city in itself. ' That night, about eight o’clock Frank Jr., suggested that ’'we all go to the Fox theatre", a ten million dollar play house, In which you tread on air, gaze at the moon, while angels escort you to a seat. 1 under stood perfectly the "why" of such a suggestion, but I knew it was no place for a bald headed man. since 60 gtrls from Hollywood were to ex hibit the "devil dance" In addition to their many other spectacular at tractions. I told them to go ahead, as I had promised a little lass on the streets that afternoon, to meet the Salva tion army Just around the corner at 9:30 and lead the procession around the block. You see, I once belonged to the "Boy Scouts" and I still be lieve in "doing one good deed each day.’r We all met at "out boarding house" about 11 o’clock. Charlie and Frank were all excited about the air plane ship, and while they were talk tng, I pulled my chair under the light and thought I would look over the days papers before retiring, but who could read while those two boys were talking—for their talk was something like this: Frank: Wasn’t that an apparition on the end?" Charlie: “Shore was. but what is an apparition?" Frank: % don’t know, somethin' like appendicitis, I think.” Charlie: Did you notice the wing spread and body lines of the long slim one?” Frank: “Yeah, but I like the bom - berber, built heavy, for hard work ’ Charlie: Oh, boy, wasn't that lit* tie one a "beaut.” Wish I could take her home for mv friends to play with.” Frank: “Me too, they would make nice playthings around the houee ” Charlie: ‘‘But did you notice that one with dimples painted on her. Frank: "Did I? Boy, I didn’t miss nothing.” I raised up in my Chair and con gratulated them on being so inter ested in the country’s fighting equip ment, and received the shock of my life. They were taiking about the show and not the ships. I decided then and there that Frank and Charles had better go home to their ma. They are on the road and should arrive in Shelby about September 5, unless they run into an auction sale or something on the way. Sarasota Battle, Preceding Kings Mountain Affair (Written for The Star by W. li. White, County Historian.) As the time is drawing near for the celebration of the 150th anni versary of the battle of Kings Mountain. X would like to contribute several articles to your paper in re gard to the events preceding this battle and also about its importance in the American revolution. Generally speaking, historians classify the battle of Saratoga as being the decisive fight of the Re volution, for it was chiefly the prestige gained by this battle that enabled the Americans to form a military alliance with Prance. But the British were far from being ready to give up the struggle for the subjugation of the American colonies after being defeated at Saratoga in the autumn of 17T7, and the Americans suffered many re verses and terrible hardships after this time. For Instance, the army of General Washington spent the fol lowing winter at Valley Forge where American soldiers could be tracked by'bloody foot prints in the snow. It has been said that the Intense suffering of the patriot army at this [place has caused Valley Forge to be used as a synonym for hardship to this day. So great was the dis tress of Washington’s army in the ! winter of 1777-78 that it is estimated that no less than three thousand of the American soldiers deserted and slipped away to the enemy during this gloomy period. But hardships and desertions were not the only difficulties with which Washington had to contend. History tells us that he was more than once embarrassed by the in trigues of generals with political ambitions, and this seems to have been especially true in the year of 1778. During this year an attempt was made to give General Gates the position occupied by Washing ton as the commander-in-chief of the American army. Oates was an Inferior general who happened to command the patriot army at Sara toga. where a brilliant victory was won by such subordinate leaders as Benedict Arnold. However, quite a number of the American people did not seem to know the truth about this matter, and the conceited Gates was a popular military hero for awhile. But fortunately for the American cause the "Conway Cabal’ t failed and the inefficient Gates did not supersede the skilful Washing ton. i Next week I shall discuss the Battle of Monmouth and the trea son of Arnold, and then I expect to devote my writings chiefly to the events in the South which led to the battle of Kings Mountain. ■ Buy Pure Jerseys.

Washington—Anyone who likes to Bit up and worry about things c&n have a beautiful time for the rest of his life by worrying about the terrible things that go through Uncle Sam’s mails. If you opened up all the hun dreds of millions of letters and pack ages which the government trans ports for us citizens each year you would find nearly everything but a horse and buggy. Murder plots, dope, poisons, un printable language, stolen money, brass knuckles, elopement plans, recipes for gin, diagrams for bank robberies, death threats—and oh, gosh, almost every evil thing you can think of. Even chain letters. It’s certain they all go through th* mails because every so often such things are discovered to have been mailed and they are very obviously only a small fraction of what gets through. There Isn’t Any Solution. Nothing much can be done about it except to abolish the postal sys tem or open everybody’s mail every day. If the postoffice department thinks something pretty bad is go ing on it can investigate and prose cute, but it hasn't got time or au thority now to read all the letters and search all the packages. Of course if you take books and magazines which don’t satisfy the postoffice, that’s rather different. These have more or less general circulation and everybody knows about them—at least such classics EXECUTRIX NOTICE Notice Is hereby given that I have this day qualified as executrix of the estate of E.

Literature circu lated more surreptitiously presum ably has leaa trouble getting through. The point seems to be that if the sender and the recipient of anything keep their business to themselves it doesn't get called to official attention. Marked playing cards, obviously designed for dishonest gamblers, arf advertised and delivered through the mails, it Is pointed out by Mr. Paul Telco in a recent article in the Nation called “How Pure are the Mails?” But Mr. Walter E. Kelly, the assistant solicitor, says there is nothing in the law to bar marked cards and loaded dice, although there has sometimes been agitation for same. These are sold "for magi cal purposes only” and the solici tor’s office doesn’t see how the vendors can be prosecuted for op erating a fraudulent scheme be cause the goods are as advertised. Fake medicines come under the head of prosecutable fraudulent schemes, however. The Nation arti cle described the business done in strange herbs. Several hundred firms are doing mall order business in contracep tives. despite the postal provisions against dissemination of birth con trol information and devices, ac cording to Telco. It is pointed out that scientific works on the subject are barred, but the mail order bus incss lo harmful or poisonous com pounds is thereby stimulated. The law seems to be met when the man ufacturers warn customers not to use the product in a certain way lest it act illegally. Use Tear Gas. Minot, S.
