Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. IT MAY PROVE a bit burdensome to fill up this space today with everybody in town doinj nothin* but filing tip the ballot boxes at the court house. However the scissors are well oiled and after struggling along for a spell we may be able to borrow something of interest from other sources. VOU CAN always depend upon Buck Hardin for some manner of solu tion to all problems. Just the other day we were wondering why no one ever heard of girls getting out and walking home in the old horse and buggy days. Wc hardly thought Buck old enough to solve the prob lem from his own personal exper ience. but he does. His solution Is that the sweet young things always nad long, sharp hat pins with them lit those days. And if that Isn't to the point, what Is? So credit that to the hat pins one never sees any more-they must have saved a quantity of fem inine virtue or shoe soles. AND NOW THAT Bert Houser problem about the man who had two mules, selling one of them for $100 and losing 35 percent, and sell ing the other tor $100 and making percent. Did he lose, win, or break even? If von haven't already figured it out, we'll tell you—he lost money. When he sold one mule for *100 and lost 33 percent he natural ly sold the mule lor 15 percent of the purchase price. Seventy-five net cent, the sale price, then equals *100. or" percept equals $13,33 1-3, and 10O percent equals *133.33 1-3 or.the price be paid for the horse. On the other trade in which he received $100 and made 25 percent it is, clear that he received 25 per cent more than he paid for the horse, or 123 percent. Then It fol lows that 135 percent equal* $100, une percent equals $8, and 100 per cent, what he paid for the horse, equals 180. Bo In the trade In which he made 25 percent profit he clear ed exactly $20, the difference be tween the $100 he received and the $80 he gave for the horse. On the other trade he gave *133.33 1-3 and sold for $100, losing $33.33 1-3 on that trade.

He calls his praise taffy, the Ebel toft: label for all praise, and al though we wiggle the salt shaker over all types of taffy, it does listen good at times . . , , Now we ll tell him one; When we started visiting the undertaking parlors and police court on our first newspaper job, we forget how- many years ago, we were lnforpitd that there were only three things In the writing line worth fal lowing-one was the old Statesville Landmark, on which we worked; another was the Bible, and the third was The Yorkvllle Enquirer. The Landmark and The Enquirer are two of the oldest papers in the two Gar Ollnas, and, although wo haven't kept in as close touch with the third, the Bible Is considerably older than either of them. e NOW WE near the borrowed piece which was promised at the top of the column. It should be of interest to Shelby movie fans. Shelby avia tion fans, and Shelby prize-fight, fans. It has to do with three French men who are, or were, headliners in those three enterprises. An anonymous writer, and a darn ed good one, who conducts a "Back track " column In The Spartanburg Herald -one mentioned In this space before—recently made the acquain tance of a Frenchwoman In Spar tanburg. She was there as the world's champion woman racing car pilot to participate in the fair races. Before she started getting thrills out of racing she was a well known French actor. From this point on we'll permit "Backtrack" to do the talking; he can do it much better; In the last few days I have come to know an interesting person—one whose refreshing mannerisms and unique expressions will have you clinging to her very word and leave you cramped with laughter. She is Mile. Helle-Nlce, world's champion woman racing car driver, acquain tance of Maurice Chevalier. Dleu donne Coste, Georges Carprntier, Marquise de la Falalse de la Cou draye (Mr. Gloria Swanson), Dan ielle Bregis and formerly one of the most beautiful acrobatic dancers in all France. I have watched her teeth flash and her golden Dutch bob whirl about her lovely clear-cut sun-tan ned features as she talks of many things in a dialect born of only three months in America. At times I thought 1 should die of laughter as she labored for an expression; swung her strong young hands like windmills and shook her head and clamped her teeth. She was in several Parisian shows with Chevalier. Of him she says: He have what you call ze high hat. Some people like heem—some people do not. In ze shows we do not, be cause he act crazy some time. We all change pictures in show, but nobody Want Chevalier. We cannot onderstan in Prance why lie so pop ular In pictures—because we do not think in France he is strong man. He act like lady some time and fly like butterfly and we laugh. You laugh at heem too. if you know heem.” “Dieudonne Coste,” the French girl says, “he is not popular in France as other flyers.

Helle-1 Nice is probably the most popular figure that nation has produced In many years. At the hour of the ] fight it was deep night In France but no one slept. The Place de lai Concorde In Paris was "black wf z° people” and every newspaper office was crowded off the face of the earth for news of the outcome. But many thousands waited in] the little towns for word of the fate of the idol of France and to tell them as quickly as possible, air planes were sent over every village and town, showing green lights If Carpentier won and red If he lost j Every face in France peered Into the sky and In the little town where Mile. Helle-Nice awaited the news of her comrade s fortune, when the plan*1 roared low showing lights of defeat, the thousands In the streets sobbed bitterly—crushed by the bat tering rams of the bully Dempsey.

CRANE'S.* Silks. 543 Fifth Ave, NEW YORK CITY Jast 10 Years Ago A Peep Or Two Back In 1920 (Items Taken f rom The Cleveland Star ot IWU.) (From Issue of The Star November 8, 3920.) Cameron Morrison was elected governor of North Carolina Tuesday by the largest vote ever accorded a gubenatorlal candidate and the rest of the Demon atic state ticket was swept into power by a majority estimated to be over 5,000. A marriage of paramount interest ir. this week’s social calender is that of Miss Emily Roberts and Mr. Her man Eskridge which event will take p-ace Saturday night at the bride's home on North Morgan street at 8:30 o’clock. Senator Warren G. Harding of Oruo, the Republican nominee, will be the next president of the United Stales as a result of Tuesday’s el ection which resulted In one of tnc most sweeping Republican victories in party history. With returns n complete, he has 337 electoral votes while his oponent Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio, has 127. All of the ten North Carolina con gressmen are Democratic. Lincoln county went Democratic by about 150 majority. Tcnesscc which was ex pected to go Democratic, gives Hard ing a lead of 10.000 over Cox. The Democratic majo-liy in North Car olina Is now estimated at 80,000. Cleveland county rent Democratic as Vidal in Tuesday's election, out this time by approximately 3.200 majority, the largest In the history of the county. The Democratic county officers that won Tuesday aie as follows: Peyton McSwain far house of repre sentatives; Rush Stroup for treas urer; R. L. Weathers for register of deeds; Hugh A, Logan for sheriff; ri. T. Falls for recorder and audltoi: A M. Lovelace for surveyor; T. C Eskridge for coroner; W. H. Jen nings for county commissioner; A P Spake,, S. S. Mauney and W. L Plonk for board yl education. Mr. Mai Spangler has sold ms home on East Marion street to Mr, Will M.

I do not know- -that be for huzzbon to say. In France, huzzbon, he boss ze house. If he do not, we call him chicken-wit.” And then she laughed and flashed her teeth until the room quaked. In answer to one about domestic upheavals, she said: "Some time huzzbon he glad wife run 'way wi1 'nozer man: then some time he shoot wife and nozer man, too. Zat way we get what you call divorce. “When we leef France zey say no drinks in America, so we taste once more ze wine of France. On ze boat we get 'nozer taste and feel sad we think we get no more for long time. “But in America, ze first thing I see--big drink.” The eagerness of the girl to learn approaches the amazing. Every new word she hears she asks that it be repeated then she takes out her lit tle dictionary, looks It up and sits there practicing it while the con versation goes on. She is a laughing fatalist. “Fortune teller in Paris she tell! me I die in 1930. So I say to myself J in race ‘drive fast ’round curve’ for ] onlee two months lef.’" Tire white-haired alumni show! real teamwork in making excuses to J see the big game. Correct this sentence: “My boy is unusually intelligent, inheriting this’ from his father.” What has become of the wise guys who said the boom in the stock mar-1 ket would last forever? CAROLINA FARMERS PROFIT BY NEW METHOD FARMING Raleigh.—By following systematic methods 10 farmers In eastern North Carolina have Increased their yearly Income from $34,665 to $61, 022. At the same time they reduced operating expenses nearly $1,000 and boosted net profits from $14,185 to $41,672. In addition, they got along with 83 laborers less than last year. E. W. Gaither, district farm agent of the State college extension serv ice, who directed the projects, said under the new system owners have re-organized their farms, making larger fields, planting more land to pastures, putting in more hay and feed crops, using more farm ma chinery and by changing the meth od of cash crop production. These farmers, he said, were try ing to farm under the old system of raising cotton and tobacco as cash crops, to the exclusion of corn, feed crops, and livestock. Few monopolies operate for the good of the buyers, regardless of what kind of "argument" they pre sent to the people. This is the time for the big fin anciers to show some of that faith in the United States that they have been talking about. There seems to be very little, un employment among persons who make a business of relieving some thing.—San Diego Union. / World's Youngest Pilot Soars to New Record Paul Hough, 16-year-old school boy, of Garden City, L. I., estab lished what is believed to be a nevr record for light plane* when lie soared to a height of 11,800 feet in his 375-nound 30-horsepower airplane at Roosevelt Field, L. I. Clough is one of the youngest licensed pilots in the world. (lnterasUsaal ; BRITISH QUOTE STEEPER PRICES ON RARE STAMPS London—New stamp catalogues here show considerable appreciation in value of some of the scarcer items. Continuing to head the list in scarcity, and in increase of prices over last year are the "classic'’ is sues of the British empire between 1840 and 1870. Airplane stamps, as a class, show ! swift rises in the new listings. The Hawker stamp of Newfoundland, which sold a few years ago at $150, is quoted this year at $1,500. The "DePinedo" stamp of the same do minion is listed at $750. Similar advance is shown in the 24c American airmail stamp, mis printed with the “center inverted” whieh has jumped in price from $850 to $2,500. RUSSIA RECRUITS COAL MINERS IN THE RUHR Bochum. Germany.—The Donetz mines in Russia have a large propa ganda organization in the Ruhr dis trict to recruit German miners for the Soviet coal pits in Southern Russia. Soviet authorities are reported deeply worried over a steadily de creasing tonnage from the Donetz mines and it is said here that the Doneta mines are In bad condition. With the aid of German miners the soviets hope to increase Ore output to a daily average of 108,000 tons. The German Miners’ union states that 500 German miners have been working in the Russian mines for a considerable time but that another 1,000 are needed.
