LEE a WEATHERS____ President and Editor S. ERNEST HOEY_-.___Secretary and Foreman RENN DRUM __._.__ News Editor L. E DAIL ................_...____ Advertising Manager Entered as second class matter January 1. 1905. at the postoffice at Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress, March a. 1879 We wish to call your attention to the tact that It Is and been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of re act, cards of thanks and obituary notices, arter one death notice has beta published. This will be strictly adherred to. . __ MONDAY, OCT. 13, 1930 TWINKLES Another reason why Shelby is a good town to live in: The collections of one Sunday school class last year ran over $1,600. Not an entire Sunday school, mind you; just one class. Atlanta is having a dispute with the U. S. Census bureau because the southern city thinks the census-takers did not give the Coca-Cola town enough population. And it's our opin that a city which has one such citizen as Bobby Jones ought not to get in a huff if the census-takers overlooked several thousand ordinary people. It now develops that (he Republican campaigners in their talk about the cost of school books in North Carolina are adding in on their figures the cost of tablets, f/riting pa per, etc. The text book commission has not a thing to do with that angle, as the children now ns always purchase what priced tablets they desire. If school hook costs are going to be added up in that manner and charged to the text book commission, why not add in the cost of the shoes arid clothes they wear to school ? The newspapers of Rutherford county arc profiting by the political debates between Hamrick, the Republican ad herent, and Dunnagan, the Democratic speaker. Messrs. Hamrick.and Dunnagan started out with the intention of staging three public debates. They did, but both became so aroused that once the three public speakings were over they continued to carry on by disputing with each other in paid newspaper advertising. Both sides claimed a victory in the public debates and are seemingly confident in the newspaper controversy, but our idea is that the real decision will be handed down by Rutherford voters in November. And then it may be that the Dunnagan-Hamrick setto will not have a noticeable influence in the ballot-casting of Rutherford citizens. IN 1928 AND IN 1930 A news dispatch l'rom Marion concerning the speech there of Congressmman Charlie Jonas says: “President Hoover was pictured here last night by Representative Charlie A. Jonas as heavy-hearted over the present industrial conditions and particularly the plight of the working man.” Conditions are such that they should make anyone with a grain of sympathy heavy-hearted. But, as we recall it, just two years ago it was this same Mr. Jonas who journeyed over the district telling the industrial workers that if you elect me and Mr. Hoover you may expect full dinner pails and pros perous industrial conditions. Already at the end of the 1928 rainbow and the pot of gold which was to have been a full dinner pail proves to be an empty dinner pail. FIGURES DO NOT LIE. ALTHOUGH POLITICIANS TWIST THEM ABOUT yHIS COMMENT should be of direct interest to every man and woman in North Carolina who pays taxes. Only three states of the forty-eight in America conduct their state government at a lower cost per inhabitant than North Carolina. In the political campaign now underway The Star frank ly believes that the Republican campaigners pulled an ill timed faux pas—in pther words, more modern words, a boner —when they turned the attention of citizens to State affairs m attempting to defend the failure or take the attention away from the failure of the Republican national adminis tration. Hasn't there been a slip somewhere when politicians talking without a basis lor their talk charge the Democratic rule in North Carolina with extravagance? Surely, when statistics assembled by the University News Letter show that the cost of State government in forty-four American states is greater than in North Carolina. The News Letter statistics show that State government in Nevada costs $34.81 per capita. Twenty-six States in the union have a cost of more than $10 per inhabitant each year for State government. But in North Carolina—get this— the cost per inhabitant for State government each year is only $6.83. Furthermore, the department of social-economics, in ex plaining the assembled costs, says that the per capita cost of State government in North Carolina has actually been re duced in the period from 1925 to 1928, The $6.83 cost per capita given above is fob the year 1928. “If adjusted,” says the News Letter, "in light of 1930 census figures, our ex penditure per person would be only $6.50 per year.” Still on the decrease, so where can the Republican campaigners find any basis of fact for their denunciation of the Gardner ad ministration, or any other Democratic administration in the State? It isn’t to be found. Or as the News Letter says, “It is preposterous to claim that our local and state gov ernmental expenditures are out of proportion to our income or accumulated wealth. The official records definitely rc fate any such claims.” To make it plain—the official records show that North Carolina ranks 15th in the Union in industry, seventh in crop value, and high in production of other wealth, YET IN COST OF STATE GOVERNMENT PER INHABITANT THE STATE RANKS 45H, OR WITH A COST LOWER THAN EVERY STATE EXCEPT THREE. Hasn’t the Democratic party in North Carolina some thing to hold up with pride before the people when it is shown that the cost of operating our State government is less than that of forty-four of the forty-eight States, and that near half of the States of the States have a per capita cost of government double that in North Carolina? It is a general tribute to Southern Democracy in that seven of the 10 States with the lowest cost of State government are Dem ocratic States. . RAFE KING’S NEW CHANCE. |T WAS TO HAVE-been-expeeted-that the people-of-Shelby, liia homo town, would receive with joy the news that Kate Kin# is to be given a new trial, but it develops that outsiders consider the decision of the South Carolina Supreme court a wise move. Fifteen months in the very shadow of the death chair is within itself a horrible ordeal for a man to pass through. And as it is he has undergone severe punishment. Such be ing the case, the granting of a new hearing is a matter of joy to those who believe the chain of circumstantial evidence against him not strong enough to merit the death sentence, and in that the high court found ample reason for reversing the decision those who endorsed the conviction and sentence should not be displeased at the opportunity of permitting his counsel another chance to prove the innocence he proclaims. Certainly not, in that a human life is at stake. From an outside viewpoint, from a source not interested in either acquittal or conviction but merely in justice, comes the following comment by the Charlotte News upon the high court ruling. “The Supreme court of South Carolina has granted a new trial to Rafe Kingt convicted of the slaying of his wife some months ago, the court ruling that the attitude, remarks and charge of Judge Henry, presiding at the original trial, were prejudicial to the interests of the defendant. “It is, of course, remembered that the trial of this man was surrounded an atmosphere of visible hostility to him. The community in which the foul crime was alleged to have been committed was deeply aroused over the brutality of the murder. The personal popularity of the slain woman, was a factor in the churning up of emotion and while the attor neys of King fought with indcfatigible fervor and stubbor ness, they were unable to convince the jury that the circum stantial evidence being woven around him was insufficient to convict. “That they will find themselves in better position under a changed order, with-much of the first flashes of antagonism to him removed and a different atmosphere in which to de fend their client as he again faces the court, to conduct their case is preventing the chain of circumstance which is in pos session of the State from sending their man back to his punishment.” __ Things I See, Or Things T. XV. HAMRICK Sin Francisco. Cal. I Read About Would any of us like to see into tlie future—to know just what to morrow will bring forth? No, decid edly hot, although we feel some times like we would, and that brings up a little incident that happened a few months ago that I want to tell about. My oldest daughter. Laura Rebecca, came to me one afternoon., almost in tears and said: ‘'Daddy my teacher has given me a theme to write on ‘What 1 can see out of my bedroom window.'* and as my room is on the rear of the house far ing the west, I cannot see anything.” Very well I told her get your pen cil and pad and we will go up to that window’ and see. First: there is mother's flower garden, surround ed by a hedge of beautiful golden rod, and there is n horse, with rus head high in the air, sniffing the ozone from heaven, and beyond that, are the homes of o«f neighbors, the best in all the world, and next is Sunset cemetery, in which we can see God's green grass, and loving memories, pointing upward to where our loved ones are singing praises to the Almighty. Beyond that flows Broad river, coming in from where the air is pure and giving us water to drink, when we are thirsty and there is Chimney Bock, with a tower of granite, built by God, in order that we may view the wonders of nature, in the valleys beneath. To the right is Mount Mitchell, to prove that nature's formation%cannot bn equalled by man's Ingenuity, and in the shades of that mountain lies the city of Asheville, known the world over as the "Land of the Sky'’. Be yond that lies the Mississippi river winding its way through the val leys of plenty to the gulf of Mexico. Beyond that comes Texas which furnishes the food for mil lions of horses, cows and sheep, and now if you will stand in a chair and raise'your eyes you will sec Califor nia, the land of eternal sunshine and flowers, overlooking the blue waters of the great Pacific ocean, and the natural trend of mankind has been to the west, Since time Im mortal and now, look at the sunsec. is it any wonder that our eyes feel softer when the day's work is done and now watch the shadows of twi light creep across our vision,, the stars are shining, we can count the twinkles In the mhky way. as the giant dipper stretches across the sky to give the lady in the moon.— "Hey, Daddy stop. ' she cried I can see it all now. thi ough your eyes, | but with mine I didn't see anythin? but Aunt Lillie’s chicken yard.'’ When I was relatingjlhe above scenes to my daughter, I had no idea that I would soon travel that route, seeking the fountain of health. Would it do lor us to see ahead? I do not think so. Dr. O. P. Gardner, father of our governor officiated at my very first birthday and as long as I live I will neve forget that but I have forgot ten the things he told my mother. Probably he said, “you have a very fine promising young son who will make his mark in the world, and rret his name in the paper and who knows, maybe be President.. You .,er the Dr. knew human nature and the sure road to a mother’s heart, and in addition to leaving the world such a noble crowd &f boys . ml girls, there is one I want to make j special note of—J. T. Gardner, a friend to me, from the time ot my birth to the day he d ed. Honest and true, with the welfare of the town at heart, above his own interests, the instigator of schools paving, water, lights and beautification of the streets, the square and everything that made for the happiness and success of his town. Never will 1 forget the many happy hours spent with him as a friend and in an of ficial capacity. GOOD MARKET EXISTS FOR BLACK WALNUTS Both the hulled nuts and the black walnut kernels or meats are In demand by grocers, confectionery shops, or candy plants and the sale of the walnuts, may be made a tegu lar farm lncomr. "There, are many farms in North Carolina having black walnut trees producing nuts of exceptional value each year," declares R. W. Graeber, extension forester at State college. “Last year was a poor walnut year in most sections of the state and it is possible that the drought has In terfered with the crop this season; however, the crop prospect is worth immediate investigation. Good black walnuts are always in demand ■ and there are local markets avail-1 able in nearly every town in the { state," WEST SHELBY Mr Davis Home From Hospital.

Try Star Wants Ads. Shelby Highs Lose Hard Fought Game To Hendersonville Friday Haig Poston, Fleet Back, Out For Season With Broken Collar Bone. Friday was a tough day for the Shelby high football eleven In that it lost a hard-fought game to Hendersonville and at the same time lost the services for the remainder of the season of Haig Poston, one of the most promising young backs on the squad. Poston broke his collar bone on a play ill the first quarter and will hardly be In condition to play any more during the season. His loss will be a heavy blow to the team as his speed has be£n counted upon as one of the eleven's best scoring as sets-for the remainder of the year; There is a possibility, according to reports, that Coach Casey Morris may shift "Shorty” McSwain, vet eran end and alternate captain, to a backfield berth to replace Poston. Score Twice. As to the game itself—the score was 12 to 0, Shelby failing to tally for the third consecutive contest. Again the defeat, according to ob servers may be checked up to the inability of the Shelby line to func tion smooth on the offense. The line played fairly good on the defense, although weakening on two occa sions to permit the Hendersonville I highlanders, an unusually strong outfit, to score twice. Both at tempts at. goal were crushed. On two or three occasions the battling Shelby team, led by Capt, Wilson, got within striking dis tance of the goal, once getting in side the five-yard line, but on those occasions the offense was halted by the Hendersonville line and a score did not result. The latter part of the game was played under considerable handicap by the Shelby eleven. Not only was Poston out of the game, but Shep pard, regular end. was out after the early play, and Purp Barrett, hard hitting dc'fcrisive back, was also in jured.' » Two Games Here.
