Robinson Bill !
Passes Senate,
Blow To Hoover
President Suffers Two Defeats In
' Senate Voting In One
Day.
Washington, Jan. 20.—By one
sided votes, the senate Monday aft
ernoon dealt two defeats to Presi
dent Hoover over the dole issue. It
adopted, 56 to 27, the Robinson rid
er to the Interior department ap
propriation bill to give the Red
Cross $26,000,000 for food and other
supplies.
It voted down, 53 to 30, the Reed
move to defer the dole until Feb
ruary 0 to let the Red Cross first
raise its $10,000,000 relief fund from
the public.
Administration leaders, expecting
these setbacks In the senate, will
stage another battle in the house,
and if they are defeated there, they
hope to find some compromise in

conference acceptable both to the
president and to the senate, so that
the interior blit, otherwise doomed,
will not fail and thus force an' err
tru session of congress after March
Hope To Avoid Veto,
i Enough Republicans stfcod with
| the president against the Robinson
rider to Indicate that If Mr. Hoover
should veto the Interior bill because
of the rider, his veto would be sus
tained. But since that would kill the
Interior supply bill and force, an
extra session, Republican leaders
want to avoid that extremity in
what has become the dominant is
sue of the present session.
The president came In for even
more heated attack than usual to
day as tire harmony program van
ished In the warfare. The Demo
crats voted solidly for the.Robinson
rider. All the Republican Insurgents
sided with them, and even such Re
publican regulars as Senator Jones,
chairman of'appropriations; Kean
of New Jersey; McNary of Oregon;
Short ridge of California, and Thom
as of Idaho joined with them.
Morrow Backs Hoover.
Senator Dwight Morrow of New
Jersey was one of the small band
that stood by the White House.
The former secretary of labor. Sen
tor James J. Davis, of Pennsyl
ania, after voting to postpone,
lysterlously vanished and did not
rtes at all on the adoption of the
ole. The veteran regular, Senator
moot, alarmed over extra serslon
rssibUlties, stood alone In voting
*aInst both postponement and the
ole Itself. 1
Amid the heated debate, Senator
eed’s remark that the country Is
ling to be shocked by the treas
ury deficit stood out. The Pennsyl
vanian. close associate of Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon, said;
“It is not that I am trying to save
this money for the fedeeul govern
ment. God knows we are going to
have a deficit when the March In
come tax returns come In that is
;olng to make us hesitate about
pending every cent. We are going

•‘A guilty conscience needs no ac
cuser;” runs the adage. But in hu
man experience conscience doesn't
always work full time nor operate
at maximum capacity.. Sometimes
I it fetches the guilty in when its pos
sessor has done his best to run
away and failed A case In point is
that of Everett Lyles, young Gas
tonia man. Hts ease Is the more not
ed because he was a lilt and run
driver. Usually hit and run drivers
are not supposed to have a con
science. The fact is that fear, the
impulse to get away from trouble,
may overwhelm the conscience for
the time. One can understand how
the urge to get. away is uppermost
when he realizes that his car hit
somebody and lie doesn’t know what
the consequences may be. Of course
the running is cowardice that ag
gravates the oltense. But the Im
pulse is there and it may take r-al
courage to overcome it. It was taat
wry with Everett Lyles. He knew
his car hit somebody or something
and he didn't have the courage to
stop and see and face the conse
quences, In addition to the natural
impulse to flee, Lyle had liquor in
his car. In that respect his con
science-guilty conscience—made
him the greater coward. He fled and
kept going. When he learned that
his ear had killed a man he fled to
Florida. He was in a fair way to
escape But the guilty conscience
which moved him to get away for
awhile took another turn. It wor
ried him about the dead man. He
couldn’t eat or sleep, he says. Then
he decided to return to North Car
olina and surrender. He hitch-hiked
from Florida and surrendered to of
ficers at Kings Mountain. He was In
Cleveland county jail at last ac
count awaiting trial.
I Conscience will sometimes unex
pectedly drive sleep from the eyes
and slumber from the eyelids. If
and when it Is cultivated, given full
and free opportunity, It Is a good
guide, Many p«>ople seem to be bom
without It. or what they have ta
dumb. Others suppress it until the
inner voice Isn't heard And then
Instances liave been known In
which the most hardened would sud
denly and unexpectedly be moved
by It: and one movement doesn't
always mean a changed life, either.
Everett Lyles will get credit, and
should have it, on account of hts
conscience. The Inner feeling Is
sometimes more powerful than all
the laws and law agencies that can
be devised. But you can’t depend on
conscience to regulate individuals.
Some of them haven't got It, or they
have so seared it that it doesn't get
a chance. They may have so train
ed it that they feel anything they
do is approved.

Shelby SIDELIGHTS
tty RENN DRUM.
Shelby is still far enough down In the small city class that the men
who have them seldom ever get to wear their tuxedoes except at big
church weddings, which are not talcing place so frequently times being
as they are. But, at that, Shelby, up in the 10,000 class, has reached the
place where every approaching marriage Is no longer the talk of the en
tire town.
Not so many years ago when a young Shelby man and his girl friend
fixed the date everybody in town knew about it by the time the milk
wagons started rolling the next morning—and how It was talked. They
discussed everything from the girl’s unfortunate suitors and the boy's
other affairs to the ability of her old man to pay cash for the ceremony
ahd its attendant expense.
But as things are now the most beautiful, the wealthiest, or the
fastest-stepping young lady in town has to get herself betrothed and
near the altar before the whole town begins whispering behinds hands,
or over the tea cups and wafers on the bridge tables.
When, if ever, such-and-such a young lady will “get off" is no longer
prophesied and gossiped about promiscuously except among the older
families of the city who still live and think in the circle that existed
when Shelby had Just 3,000 population and was darned proud of it.
"Speaking of pretty women,” speaks up a rather attractive young miss
herself, “Shelby’s prettiest woman is a young nurse, M. W."
If Flo Ziegfeld in person were to visit town, he would have a difficult
job of making a better selection. (That’s just a concurring opinion, if
any of the other charming young girls of the city are Inclined to feel
hurt, or if any of her suitors are thinking about issuing a challenge for
a duel of any kind.)
Some of these days We may spill a. cherished secret and get into
worlds of trouble.
Did you know that one of the best wale singers in Shelby is fond of
chewing gum, and that every time he stands to sing with the choir in
church he plants his chewing gum behind his ear, leaves it there while
singing, then removes it and starts chewing again?
The old timers about town haven’t chipped in with some "remember
wliens” in ever so long. Got to get them started again: Remember when
women wore their watches on their left shoulders and held them in place
with a ileur^de-lls pin?
That was somewhere back about the time that a drug store was op
erated where Tom Eskridge runs a grocery store now, and long before
OUn Hamrick moved out of the house where the Montgomery Ward store
now stands.
I Take a stroll by the T. W. Hamrick store and see the two photos, in
I the display window, of Shelby's championship team of 26 years
ago. Off-hand we recall that the following were among the players
pictured: Grover Hamrick, Odus Mull, Nelson Lattimore, Forrest Wil
liams and Reid Morrison.
Now several of them have children large enough to play baseball,
football, and get married.
Remember the good old days when fifteen and sixteen year old boys
boasted of how many times they had read the Bible through Instead of
how many necking parties they had been on?
There are 46 names listed under the letter "Q” in the Shelby city
directory, and every family name there is either Queen or Quinn—18
Queens and 28 Quinns.
Incidentally. Shelby has a few more Kings than Queens, there being
22 Kings listed.
The directory—that valuable source of material with which to fill up
this space—also shows that there are three girls in Shelby by the name
of Ruby Bridget One lives on the Fallston road, another on DeKalb
street, and the third on Blanton street. Two Mary Bridges and two
Inez Bridges are also listed.
If these theatre managers in Shelby are as shrewd as we beiieve
them to be. it won't be long now before the "It” girl will be showing in
a talkie here—and to good crowds.

Republican Leaders Say President 1
"Misunderstood” On Wicker
sham Report.
Washington, Jan. 22 —Out of Che
consternation in republican ranks j
over President Hoover’s supp.jsed
bone dry declaration in his special
message sending the Wickersram
report to congress came a series of
significant rumors today to the ef
fect that Mr, Hoover has been "mis
understood.” that the door is still
open for modification, and that the
party may 'draft a plank for 1932
calling for a constitutional conven
tion to act on the prohibition issue
The ultra-dry Senator Fess of
Ohio, republican national chairman
gave open though cautious exp -es
rion to the report emanating from
White House and cabinet circles
that Mr. Hoover had not turned h's
back on revision, that his message;
construed generally as pledgirffe him
-to a b re dry stand in 1932, dess
not commit him against modifica
tion, and that, in fact, Mr, Hoover
is open-minded,

A series of significant develop
ments preceded the circulation of
reports that Mr. Hoover is liberal
an prohibition. Late yesterday aft
ernoon three cabinet members—
Postmaster General Walter Brovin,
Secretary of War Hurley, and Sec
retary of the Interior Wilbur—
were summoned to the White
House.
After a private talk with Mr.
Hoover, the cabinet advisers left, and
! Mr. Hoover's political secret y,
! Walter Newton informed a few
; selected newspaper men that Mr.
! Hoover was being misrepresented in
the press and in comments of pub
lic men, that instead of being
against revision of the existing dry
order, his message to congress speci
fied only that he opposed the kind
of revision which his commissi n
had recommended.
