Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. How the year* flit by! New names, new enemies, new every thing, yet nothing new. When the 93-year-old General Weyler died the other day In Spain the majority of us learned, from press dispatches, for the first time that he was the hard-boiled dicta tor who had much to do with bring ing on the Spanlsh-American war. To add to the memories Josephus Daniels, In his Raleigh News and Observer, recalls that the favorite refrain of that day was "Hang General Weyler to a Sour Apple Tree." That's how time gets by you. When we we re Just getting of age to Join In with the barbershop and quilting party quartets the popular way of singing tt was "Hang Old Kaiser BUI to a Sour Apple Tree.” Guess America has been hanging liar enemies to sour apple trees since 1775. Wonder who will be the fellow the boys of this generation Will be hanging to a sour apple tree as they reach the age of adventure and soldiering? It might be the Prince of Wales, Mussolini. any body. Who knows? New faces, same old tune, same old enmity, Some philosopher ought to dis sect that sour apple tree ditty und see what there is in it that makes young men get charged up with hate and the desire to be cannon fodder. But what docs all that have to do with strolling.about Shelby? W. G. Spake. one of Shelby's cig ar and cheroot salesmen, Rays that there Is a cigar on the market in the Lincoln ton section under the name of "Hard Times," and he wonders if that's the favorite smoke of Lincolntott’s congresman. The recent Democratic rally here i certainly clicked when it recognised "Uncle Jake" Anthony, Gaither : Higgins, and Cicero Patterson as Democrats as are Democrats. But what about the Hoyle family, J. A. Smith, J. Frank Harris and others? They’d rather have the seven-year scratching pestilence in their homes i than anyone not of Democratic ] faith. The Frank L. Hoyle family, : Including his brother Bob, are as active at campaign time as they get. The youngest son, John, is already serving as usher at Democratic speakings and getting a big kick out of It, Shelby may think she is growing up in the city class and about Ia’-ge enough to be stepping out with boy friends at night, but had you no ticed that it is still such a small town that not a single divorce has been dared in any of the uppity-up families about town? The town hasn’t as yet outgrown the size where everybody knows all about it the next morning if a man is seen out with a woman other than his wife, or if a married wom an is seen with another man who pays the luncheon check. Divorces and accompanying gossip are rather embarrassing In a town of that size —and maybe that's why we don’t have them, and perhaps, of course, it may be that everybody Is getting along Just fine, (hank you. Well, It seems as if the old col umnlng professional is on the up and up. Mr. Coolidge, first name Calvin and former president of these United States, has developed info a columnist. Welcome, sir, Mr. McIntyre and the rest of us arc glad to have you with us- and can you change your own typewriter ribbon without calling on your wife's as sistance? A young married mnh of Shelby hesitated before the display window of a ladies shop, turned to ills friend and said: “Dad told me when I got married that I wouldn't have any thing like as hard a time as he had ft’hen he married. But I notice that sorsets are coming back in style, ind that may mean that soon I'll ie following in dad's footstep as I iclp the family strap up every Sunday morning.” Maybe that should have been en titled a fashion note—or, better still, eft out altogether. SHELBY SHORTS: Report is hat George Allen. Kings Mountain lollce chief and brother of Sheriff trvtn Allen, had quite a bit to do irith solving the recent bank truck robbery In Charlotte, but we've fail ed to see where he his been given a word or credit for his help. McIntyre doesn't write book re views, but we've noticed that Shel by people always go out shopping for the books he mentions, and it's our bet that he sells more for the publishers than any of the profes sional reviewers.Frank Cline, one of the county's most ardent sportsmen, came down to the Boil ing Springs football game last week and while talking to several fellows along the sideline dared them to spell properly the name a dog which most people refer to as “fist." [Can you spell it correctly without looking in the dictionary? Go ahead and try it—is it "fist,” "feist,” “fice,’’ or “fyst”? ..... The old way, and presumably the proper way, of spelling it was "feist,” since then, however, the modem dictionaries have informed that it may be spell ed either of the ways given above So there! ..... A radio loud speak er spouting out stock market fig ures on a Shelby street just as the uptown workers are dashing home for lunch. Here and there in the hurrying crowd two or three people throw a disgusted look in the direc tion of the radio, then start whis tling, seemingly with the idea of drowning out the methodical voice. One wonders, and don't wonder_ Automobiles piled full of colored people hurrying to the fair grounds. Wonder how long the pay for a day’s cotton picking busts along the mid way concession booths and fish stands? . , Did you ever see Dr. Tom Gold, the eye man, uptown during the day without his head mirrow perched on his forehead? . . Charlie Lattimore, the cowboy, isn't going back to his Arizona ranch until the winter season is over. It snows so deep out there that a fel low has to stand on his tiptoes and lean backwards to see out .... The most popular automobile drive in the evening about Shelby used to be around the Cleveland Springs hotel circle; now it’s around the golf course roadways . . . . . An Albemarle man and a Gastonia mftn come to Shelby nearly evc*fy week-end to play golf—not because nus inc Dest goir course in the section, but because, they say, that Shelby people are the "chum miest" to be found anywhere. That’s saying a lot for a man when he can be described as chummy and friend ly after digging around for 20 minutes or so in a sandtrap trying to get his ball out and on the car pet. Now while you’re roasting your feet by the fire before going to bed, here's one you might work out. Bert Houser and JL. V. Arrowood, the lumberman, were figuring on tt at Ebcltoft’s the other day— —If lumber Is selling for $30 per thousand and you had $3,000. how many thousand feet could you purchase? Go ahead and sec If It’s so easy. Tra-la-la. Kiwanis Speaker Roe Fulkerson, editorial writer for: the KI wants Magazine and a syn-j dirate writer for newspapers, will be one of the principal speakers at the j Kiwanis convention to be held .in Raleigh, Nov. 6th and 8th. It Would Medicalscience has reduced our. death rate 50 per cent since, 1900. Now that we all may expect to live longer, it would be nice if some one would do something about what on. —Judge.
