The modern fellow who starts in business on the small scale must be the fellow who operates a miniature golf course. The Greensboro News is hankering to ask. ■"Money be ing scarce as it is, isn’t it difficult for Clyde Hoey to -pain silver-tongued ?” Democratic senatorial primaries in the South left this section in a fifty-fifty status as to quality of representation at Washington: Coley Blease isn’t going back, but Huey Long is. * Run a ring around these, dates on your calendar; .Sept ember 29th—gathering of ex-service men in Shelby;; Sept ember 30th through October 4th—Cleveland County Fair; October 7th—Kings Mountain battleground celebration. Wonder if the county recorder thought of taxing Mr. Hoover with the costs in the case where a Kings Moun tain defendant, up in court on charges of vagrancy and non ! support, asked that the charges he dismissed because jobs! are not to be found during the Hoover administration? ! If thg Shelby public library is forced to close because it has no source of income, the children of Shelby, the Shelby of tomorrow, will be losers. Without an accessible store of j good books what will they do with the time heretofore given over to wholesome and beneficial reading, FREE ORATORY AND FUN CONSIDERABLE ORATORY is booked to be scattered over North Carolina during the campaign this Fall, and it is olir guess that attendance at political speakings this year will be better than in several years, due to the tact there is no admission charge and the popularity of such entertain ments has revived because of the business depression. What’s more the state of mind is such now that citizens would like to believe all the political promises they hear. TOO MUCH WHIMPERING ^BE OSTER, the pseudonym used by the writer of the "Gettin’ ’em Told" column of The Greensboro News, ex presses the opinion that there is too much whimpering and crying in North Carolina just now. In elaborating upon that view he also makes known his admiration fgr Governor Gardner because he is a booster. The advice handed out in his column is worthwhile. Here it is: “I notice the ‘Bears’ is doin’ a awful lot of axe grindin’ in the papers lately. But Max Gardner sure enuff sunk his arrer into them calamity howlers tummy ache. He just says ‘Ain’t America the greatest country in the world? Ain’t North Carolina the greatest state in the county? Well, what ye cryin’ about? Do you want the moon for a siltin' room, and South Carolina thrown in for a cow pasture ? Roll up your sleeves and git to work. Turn your smile right side up. Raise your own succotash. Make some calico and iittin’ chairs and things. Ye ain’t licked till ye quit.’ "Doggone—if they’s anything I like to do better than! talk to a booster like Max—it’s to twist a calamity howler’s tail.” WINTER WEATHER AND GOOD ( RODS RESULTING THIS YEAR p*ROM THE AMATEUR and semi-professional weather prophets come numerous predictions as to the type of winter weather we may expect. For some reason, the ex planation of which we do not recall just now, a majority of the predictions have it that a hitter winter is ahead. Simi lar dry summers in the past followed hv unusually cold win ters are cited by the prophets. From Oxford comps some recollections by an aged citi zen, who recalls the big 1881 drought, and he remembers that the drought then was not broken until freezing weather. The first rain to break the 1881 drought came late in Septem ber when it was cold enough for a skim of ice on the ground the following morning. The present drought conditions are very similar, he says, to 1881. But the interesting portion of the Oxford man's rccol lections is that the year after the drought, 1882. proved to be one of the most prolific farm years over, being an es pecially favorable year for wheat, corn and pasture lands. Perhaps, then, if season changes can be successfully fore cast on bygone weather conditions, the farmers may expect a bountiful season next year, and such an expectation must be cheering to sections hard hit by the dry spell. . NEXT NATIONAL POLITICAL CONVENTIONS MAY SEE BATTLES "pHE REPUBLICANS have their Morrow and the Demo crats their Roosevelt. And that means those who look on things political from the sidelines for amusement and en tertainment are assured, in all likelihood, some interesting action at the next national conventions, of the two major po litical parties. Roosevelt’s recent opinion concerning prohibition indi-, cates that the drys and wets among the Democrats will j square off again, and the rising popularity among Republi cans of Mr. Morrow, who swept through New Jersey on a wet platform, is certainly indicative that Lindbergh’s father in-law will lie the chief bet of wet Republicans in attempting to name a wet as their standard-bearer. How it will all end , up and what all may happen, no one can foretell now. The ! prospects are rosy for those who get amusement out of poli-; tics, and dismally discouraging for those who take their poli tics seriously and had hoped to avoid the wet-dry issue in both parties next election. Dry defendants of Roosevelt’s stand will of course, point j out that he is not a personal wet in the sense the word is I used; and they will say, too, that his statement about leav- J ing the prohibition problem to the individual states, which should permit t he voters to express their opinion, is nothing : more than fair-minded in a country supposedly operated by a government “of, for any by the people.” On the other hand, there will be faction which will label the New York : governor a wet. Many have already done so. And the fight : is on. Morrow in his race for the Senate was emphatic in his denunciation of prohibition, and how it pleased his state, and, seemingly, many-other sections of the East and North, When Morrow, a scintillating success as a big business man j and as an ambassador, entered the New Jersey race the opinion was readily expressed that he was being groomed, by the Republicans, for the White House. Later develop ments haven’t opened up anything to the contrary of the opinion. There was one weak point in the conjecture. At that time it was said that Hoover was interested in the; Morrow future. That was hard to figure out. Mr. Hoover, more than likely has his eye on a second term, so how could j he lie enthused over another Morrow success when Morrow appeared headed for the same place? Since the Morrow nom-. ination numerous Washington writers have attempted to | show relations between Morrow and Hoover, but; to a close ! observer of their attempts they have failed to make plain the; chumminess of the two men just now occupying the most 1 prominent spots in the limelight of their party. Recently, however, a Washington newspaperman who conducts a column about “inside” things in Washington for the Plain Talk magazine, spilled some interesting gossip in that connection. This writer declares that from what he terms a reliable source of information he knows that Mr. Hoover was notr so.enthused over the Morrow campaign and not so highly elated ovgr the Morrow victory. Hoover’s press relations secretary, not being a dry, was for Morrow, the writer states, hut Hoover was not . That part of Wash ington on the “inside” believed, he says the magazine colum nist, that Hoover was interested in Fort, the dry candidate. During the campaign, he informs, a Morrow supporter said to Morrow, “Did you know that Mr. Hoover is supporting Fort?” Morrow’s terse reply was, “Fort thinks he. is.” Many things will pass over the political water wheel be fore the next conventions roll around. Morrow and Roose velt may not make bids for the nomination, and even Mr. Hoover may eliminate himself, or lie eliminated. But at the present time, indications are to the contrary. Admittedly, both Roosevelt anu Morrow are outstanding leaders, two of the greatest in the country, but no one professes to know the exact sentiments of the entire country about the muchly discussed prohibition problem. Therefore the developments' in the coming months will be watched with much interest by many people—and with considerable concern and misgiving by many others.

The enroll ment in the high school is now higher than it was at any time last year The 490 mark has been hit 2.706 pupils have been enrolled in all the schools. People believe in education; the heavy enrollment indicates a«j much It is oiie business that/lever curtails on numbers served nor service rendered. The demands are ever more and more. but always they are met with a fidelity rarely equalled in any field. Everybody is pleased with the business like way in which the schools have started off. A full day:; work was done on the opening day,! and things are now running in nhd-j season fashion. In connection with the large en-j --•i- .1 _ rdliment per grade and the double section for teachers, It would be well for pm-ents and all friends of the schools to bear in mind that we have our full allowance of teachers and three extra ones whose salaries are borne by the local community. The legislature has set a large number when they require thirty* five in attendance exclusive of sick* ness, bad weather, work, visits, etc. It takes about forty-five to a room to make it. There are some people who',say it should be increased. They Surely are not interested in children. An effort to increase the number of pupils per teacher should be met with concerted opposition on the part of parents and friends of childhood. B. L. SMITH. Bull Gores Woman. Columbus.
