| By KENN DKlJM.
In a certain section of this state there. Is a postmaster or postal clerk
with a sense of humor
Recently The Star mallejl a letter to a bank In his town. At that time
the paper did not know that the bank had closed. Several days later the
letter came back Post offices, as is generally known, use a rubber stamp
to explain why letters are returned to the writer. At the top It is inform
ed that the letter Is returned for reason checked below. Then there are
several reasons listed which may be checked. These Include ■‘Unclaimed,” j
‘ Unknown," “Moved, left no address,” "Deceased,” and "Refused.”
This particular letter came back with the check opposite the word1
"Deceased.” And to clarify It a bit more the postal clerk wrote across the
envelope ‘‘No such thing—bank busted.”
This section should be out gunning for a distinguished editor who once
won the Pulitzer prize, Robert l.athan, of The Asheville Citizen.
Not. long since the census bureau sent out a story showing the growth^
of North Carolina villages under 500 population. There are 237 such vil
lages in the state and the census statistics explained that the net growth
from 1920 to 1930 of all of the 237 did not equal the 'growth of Shelbyj
alone. Mr Lathan wrote an editorial about It. Perhaps he doesn't know
there is a city by the name of Shelby, or perchance he couldn't Imagine
uny town adding more population than the total of 237 other villages. Any
way, he wrote "The net growth of the 237 villages was less than that of
Shelby county, or of several of the larger municipalities.”
Now we know how Duke university students felt when Johnny Mack
Brown told his radio audience, while broadcasting from the Rose Bowl
football game, that Coach Wallace Wade was going to leave Alabama for
| "Duke university, Durham, South Carolina."
Senior Peyton MrSwain should take off enough time from his legis
lative duties to call some of the newspapermen to one side and tell them
where he Is from and how his name Is spelled.
The senate had barely started wrangling about things until General
Mecklenburg wrote n letter In,The Chariot^ Observer and addressed It to
"Senator Peter MrSwain." Blow number One. Then this week The News
and Observer came out with a story telling as how "Senator Peyton Mc
Swaln, of Polk county," had introduced a bill to tax retail merchants. Up
percut number two. On the same afternoon the Associated Press dispatch
in The Charlotte News stated that, Senator MrSwain, "of Polk,” had Intro
duced such-and-such a bill. Swat number three.
What's the ure. we, repeat, of going down to Raleigh and making a

An eight-year-old Shelby girl, P. W., Is going to get a lot of good

Shelby Shorts: There are five names 11.- r of the mayor and four
men —on the cornerstone of Shelby's City Hall, erected In 1910. Only
-> of the five are living. One of the two was an alderman then, but has

eyes, the negro tenor, sing “My Little Pool" .... "Since we've had
rite a bit about Shelby’s most beautiful women," Inquires a reader, "why
not pick Shelby's ugliest man." A dangerous thing to do, lady, and then
we've always attempted to avoid, being of the blu hlng violet type, any
chance of patting our own back with an honor. (For that matter, so's
your old man) . . . . Another Damon-Pythlas friendship in Shelby, that
V’tween Charlie Eskridge and R. T. LeOrande. And If you noticed, they
