Money, as the Yorkville Enquirer says, cannot lie as Bcaree as some people say it is. At the,recent Stale-Ckm son football game in Charlotte late-comers were unable to find a single vacant $2 seat. Marion Talley, the famous singer, is going to leave the farm and return to opera. She found out perhaps that opera notes are far more cheerful than the kind of notes a farmer has, to worry with. W— .. All the wets, the Republicans shout, are following Mr.I Raskoh. -Tommyrot! Hasn't Mr. Morrow said that he's go- j ipg to be for Hoover in 1932 and Mr. Morrow isn't any more fond of prohibition than a colored chicken thief is of a grave yard iflook ? ■ V “ -jir. May© says it is useless to attempt to lengthen life : Without adding similar power to the brain. In other words, t ho body cannot outlive the brain. And that may cause some punster to wonder'why many of us have lived as long as we have. -% MNttM Chicago’s next world fair will be held in 1933. What; a iteat it would be for the crowds to see Scavface Al Capone in cage. But fudging by the relentless vengeance of the underworld gangsters there the odds are about 10 to one that Capone if on exhibit at that time will be seen in a casket. Governor Gardner’s brief and to-the-point introduction of Preaident Hoover has started all the old timers reminis cing abotilf short introductory speeches. The Monroe Journal ‘wlthfe Them dry anti a wit unexcelled in the State, offers the one which the Wisconsin Dutchman used in presenting Sen ator Spooner. He said: “Fellow zitizens, 1 hav bin call on to indrochoose Senator Sphooner who vill speak to us. I hav done so and he vill. now do so.-' « Jfb ---— The*waming issued to hunters by the Isaak Walton I League-* Urging them to exercise care in handling their guns during tfte hunting season, should be given proper consider ation, for with the number of automobile accidents we are having these days even a newspaper man, hungry for head line items, can get along without contributions from careless hunters and those who look in the muzzle of supposedly un loaded guns. . Out in the middle west lives a judge who retains enough memories of youth to know that the only difference between love-making nowadays and in the old days is that they call it necking now while father and mother in their spooning years called it hugging. A girl of the middle west sued her | ardent sweetie because he hugged her so hard he cracked I three ribs. 4tT’ll give you $3 damages to pay the doctor bill, % hut a hug like th^t ought to be worth the other. $7.2,“ the I judge told her. , j , , A “HARD TIMES” STORY /~\NE OF THE BEST Republican prosperity stories yet re lated is told by Clem Shaver, former chairman of the Democratic national committee. Visiting in New York last week Mr. Shaver told of an old farmer who came into a store in a small West Virginia town, made a purchase and threw a silver dollar upon the counter. “Gee!” said the clerk, “it’s been a long time since I saw one of those. You must have had it a mighty long time.” “Yes,” replied the farmer, “I had that old silver dollar j all through the Cleveland panic. 1 thought it had to go, but j MONEY FOR THE FARMER “THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK a farmer can make money only.toy “shooting the works” on cotton or any other cash crop may move onto another topic. This is to deal with a' subject The Star has mentioned before—a cannery for Cleve land county. Read the following from the Stanly News and PreBS: “Car} Motor, a son-in-law of Sheriff R. N. Furr, is the sort of man who usually does what he sets out to do, and since he is putting his time, energy, and thought on the idea of building a cannery here in Stanly county, we have no doubt but that the cannery will be in operation next summer. Of course, Mr. Moton must have the whole-hearted support of the people in the county, and we believe that he will get it, for the other counties in the State who have canneries re *. gard them as prosper ity-devleopers. ■ “The cannery at Hendersonville specializes in tomatoes * and beans, and Henderson county farmers made "big money” (lid not have enough beans and tomatoes to keep their can nery going at full capacity this year. At Franklin there is a cannery that specializes on beans, and the Franklin Press stated sometime ago that as a result of the local cannery $28,000 was distributed among the bean growers in that county. One farmer made a clear profit of $68.07 on a half acre of beans, while another farmer planted two acres of the same crop, and made a not profit of over $400. The canner ies are doing great things for prosperity in Macon and Hen-i derson county. “We believe that a cannery will do great things for Stanly county, for it will give the farmers an opportunity to grow more money crops. It seems now that the successful farmer is the man who diversifies as widely as possible. However, this does not mean that' he plants a little bit of everything, but it docs mean that he studies his farm care fully, and doesn't put all of his eggs in one basket.’’ SECOND BAPTIST’S BIG DAY MORE TUAN A SCORE of years ago a faithful little band; of church workers met in South Shelby and organized the Second Baptist church which will observe its twenty second anniversary Sunday with a fitting program, begin ning in the morning and extending through the day. It. is of much interest, not only to residents of that sec tion of Shelby but to all Shelby and Cleveland county, to! note that a majority of the former pastors of the church will be present and participate in Sunday’s activities. The his-1 tory of the church, as written by Miss Azelia Roberts, a charter member, and published in The Star, is closely con nected with the progress of church work throughout the en tire county. The late Rev. G. M, Webb, father of Judge E. Y. Webb and of the lute nobleman Judge J. L. Webb, was one of the ministers attending the organization meeting. Rev. John W. Suttle, veteran Cleveland county minister and for years moderator of the Kings Mountain Association, was the first pastor called by the infant church. Since the pastorate of Mr. Suttle a number of well known ministers have served the congregation. That the majority of them will return Sunday will mean much to the crowds who attend the ser vice. t The gap between the organization meeting of October, 1908, and the present Second Baptist church has been bridg ed with a record of worthwhile activity. Sunday services should be a big event, and the church should, and no doubt will, receive congratulations from church groups in all sec tions of the county, from Baptist and other denominations. NYE HELPED THE DEMOCRATS AS THE NYE SENATORIAL investigating committee moves on into Tennessee, after finding that North Car olina does not buy elections as do some of the Republican States in the East and North, the following comment by the Charlotte News is very much to the point: “Exactly as we have been predicting since first the Senate campaign committee decided to come into North Car olina, the disclosures are, in the words of the Chairman, “most refreshing.’’ “And now let it be broadcast to the rest/of the Nation! List the total of expenditures that contributed to the success of the winning candidate in one of the hardest fought cam paigns in North Carolina’s experience, and let it be placard ed all over Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan for a much-need-' ed example. “While the failure of the committee to find anything alarming is, of course, a vindication for Mr. Bailey and his campaign managers, in its larger aspects there is an encom ium of the integrity of the State. It is certain proof that, no matter how hotly a campaign may be waged, we confine par ticipation within the bounds of reason and honesty where expenditures are concerned. “If there were Republican strategy intended, it has re sulted most dismally. Instead of weakening Bailey’s posi tion, it has established him. There is no more certain meth od of arousing sympathy for anyone than to prove that he has been falsely accused, and in this case that is the entire gist of the evidence.’’ ■ DO YOU WANT TO BUY OR SELL? « ■ Use Classified Advertising In The Star. g ■ 20,000 Readers and the Minimum Charge i ■ for a Want Adv. is Onlv 25e.
