Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. The Bill Collectors who have been calling at the office this week know exactly why we're not wintering in Florida .... Wonder who W. J. Arey is pitching horseshoes with this afternoon? That brings on a thought (we have them occasionally): Wohder If the finger pointing downwards on bank statements did not originate with the old thumbs down custom by which Roman gladiators were sent to their death? Back In 1928 the grammarians and other hoity-toity folks thought Al Smith should not be sent to the White House because he pronounced it “rad-dlo." And it was just the other day that one of those "rad dlo” things had Mr. Hoover pro nouncing "deaf” as "deef.” Since There Are more than three score and ten prisoners on the .chain gang, and a majority of them from within the city limits of “the City of Springs,” why not have them take a few dents and bumps out of that street that runs east and West by the Cleveland Cloth mill? If You Live In an ultra-modern home, suppose one of the chips off the old block would ask: "How is ol’ Santa gonna get in our house when we have a hot-air system in stead of a chimney and an electric range Instead of a stove?” And the dad who foots the bills for those things may be wondering too. Books Make Good Christmas presents. Sure, Christmas saving club books with columns of figures in them. Our National Topics Corner: Sen ator Nye Is attempting to bar another United States senator from his seat. In the days to come some youngster may tell his friends that "my granddad came very Nye being a senator." Shelby Short*: A former Shelby ite now living In New York has a very modem apartment. The bath room is done up In green with ac cessories to match, including the Kewple . . . . An incoming bus un loadir® out at the' Courtview corner —woifeer if those painted Janes in the world's oldest profession ever get Christmas presents? If so, from whom? .. ... We still contend that New York’s Jimmy Walker has nothing on Shelby's Mayor McMur ry when It comes to being an up-to the-minute dresser. And, judging by Ihe way Pulitzer’s New York World rides Jimmy, the local lord mayor may stack up and excel Manhat tan’s chieftain in several other things .... Lots and plots in Sun set cemetery are said to be scarce. The exclusiveness doesn't worry us; we got burnt in one boom already .... We're saving our money to go to California again in the fall of 1932 for the Rose Bowl game be tween Duke and Southern Califor nia . . . . that ought to get a: grin, if nothing more, from Wliltey Ken dal! and the other dukes 'bout town ■.. . Ever notice that Casey Morris, with his hat off, resembles Knute Roekne? . > . , . A newly-married couple having the time or the,r lives picking out furniture for the little* love nest. A great thrill it is, and well not butt in on their day dreams to say anything about the months ahead and the collector who calls on the first day. Maybe You’ve Heard it; can’t tell until It to related: Joan of Arc5s death in flames must have been horrible, but the death of Charles I, who was behead ed with an axe, must have been worse. Why* Because a hot stake Is better than a cold chop, (Thanks F, H„ where was It plagiarized?) One Of Our friends of the cloth (yes, we have a few), who says he reads this typewriter tattle although we do not listen to his preaching, thinks it might be well for some of the "Sidelights" to have a moral at tached. Maybe It is because we have none to spare—anyway, the follow ing, which may interest this sec tion, is borrowed from the Rham katte Roaster column of The Ra leigh News and Observer: "There air some jedges who sui‘ me to a ‘t’ and some who let the solicitors and criminal lawyers run thler courts,” said the Old Codger, as he warmed his hands by the of fis stove. "South Carolina has produced some mity good men. Most of ’em are dead, but It has one Jedge now a-pfesidin' who lives up to the best traditions. His name is Watkins. He was a-presidin’ at Anderson when a North Carolina married man was convicted of carryin’ a 18-year-ola school girl off, teUln’ her she was to be taken to meet her fiance end be married. The jury did not indie* him under the Mann act. but he ileaded guilty to violatin' the Dyer motor vehicle act, whatever that is. The Jedge sentenced him for two years and sed to him: “ ‘I will put you where the girl can't bother you. If an 18-year-old girl can persuade you, a married man, to do this. I’ll Ditt you where | no girl can bother you.’ "I haint got no patience with the 1 old Adam or these modern Adams I who say ’the woman tempted me!'" went on the Old Codger. "In this case he diddent have the excuse of Adam who said. ‘The woman thou gavest me.’ For the man who won’t be ‘bothered’ any more took oft an 18-year-old girl when his own wife whom God gave him was a-waitin' fer him here in North Carolina. "That’s South Carolina Justice and ought fer to be a lesson to married men who go around the country a-philanderin’ and when caught blame it on the girl,” Linotype Operators and drowsy proof-readers can cause worlds of trouble. Every time an unwei'.dly and awkward mistake bobs up to this tangle of type, some cruel person wants to know why we do not ape McIntyre even more than we do and get on the water wagon. Tom Marshall, Woodrow Wilson's vice-president, it was who said that “the great need of this country Is a good nickel cigar." Tom said that back when times were rosy, o, how rosy! Iii more modern times, F, F. A., one oi New York's wise-cracking columnists, comes along with this one: “What, this country needs is a nickel.” Ho-hum! Let's go to bed, or, as Fisk would say It, retire. gleveWcloth VILLAGE HEMS Two Births Announced. F.pworth League Meets. Two Families Move Away, ' Special to The Star.) Cloth Mill.
