Mencken Sides With Negro Man: — Vamed Critic Urges Man Refused | Table At Cafe To Sue Proprietor. j New York.—H. L. Mepcketv is on tho warpath again over race dis crimination. The famed critic lias written a letter to O. Richard Reid, negro portrait painter, advjsiing him to tile suit against a cafeteria proprie lor whose action in denying Reid a ' .seat in the "reserved section” of his ' establishment cost the latter a ^ night in Jail and a $10 fine. K "The story amazes me,” Mencken h, wrote. "I had always thought there was no color line in New York. The t, thing almost sound as if it had happened in Mississippi. There are no longer any citizens in the Unit (cd States, but only subjects, and their rights diminish day by day.” When Reid and a negro friend ipBbh'sted at what they .considered discrimination, they were handled roughly by attendants and arrested. In passing sentence, the magistrate oiled that a public restaurant was entitled to reserve any table it wish ed. The case was appealed. -—--—— Plumbing and heating contractors, 4tablit>hing a board of examiners and licensing all operators. * TRl*STEE'S SALE. tvei -- X5r virtue of the power ■ of -sale contain as a tn a deed of trust executed by T. 3. ontltlott and wife, .Thelma Elliott, to me ws •ustee.

It relieves constipation. I keep it on hand so when I need a laxative I will have it.

Three years ago Monday morning Shelby citizens awoke and rubbed j, heir eyes to the shrieking of fire sirens, dressed hurriedly and rushed ip town to look upon the city’s first major calamity. A ghastly, smoke-beclouded spectacle streaked here and there with •he red of leaping flames as they shot out their scorching tongues in iillowirtg clouds of smoke in the bleak, gray shrouds of early dawn. The ; Central hotel fire, which snuffed out four lives! . j As the steady drip drip of water wears away a stone with the flitting tears, so passing time gradually removes from the memory stark scenes 3f horror. Shelby lived that day in a nervous tension, looking on thej smouldering walls and awaiting the latest reports from the hospital. Tragedy had swooped down and enveloped the town with the first faint streaks of dawn as slender red rays of the morning sun pierced here and there through the mist of a cloudy day. Never before had the happy, peaceful town passed through such a day: bu.-iness was at a standstill; there was only one topic of conversation, and tin- Mine grid-stricken [juery jumping from every eye. Days became weeks and weeks became months. There came another tragedy, even more horrible than the first. Time and another day and night of fear-clutched hearts did their part to ease the painful memories of 'Thursday morning, February 23, 192b. Still back In the mind of Shelby, in a memory cell over which other never-to-be-forgotten Incidents have heaped themselves, that morning Ungers—will always linger. The heroism of Henry Kerr, the hotel clerk, and "Doc” J. R. Henderson, the popular drug salesman, as they, two gray haired men, did their bit to warn others of the dire end that awaited them unless a hurried dash was made to -safety through smoke-filled halls or down long ladders into the arms of firemen as a street packed with stunned humanity look on! H. A. Carmichael, the auditor, who attempted to crawl to safety but failed; and Miss Emma Frick, the kindly lady with the face and disposition Of a saint, who died weeks later in the hospital! Such things are not to be forgotten. Three years later, almost to the hour, Dave Honeycutt died. A quiet, unassuming man, who said little but made every word count. One place, more than any other, except his home and business office, he will be missed. That spot will be along the sidelines at the Shelby high school: park. Athletic directors and athletes at Shelby high have never had a more consistent, or a more loyal supporter. With him missing there it will seem almost as unusual as for the goal-posts to be gone. This from A. B. Z.— j "If they’d do it. Some of these old livery stable proprietors about town could tell you many stories that would make the younger folks about town sit up and listen. They could tell them how their dads, on Sunday afternoon, would hire a rig and take the lady who is now Mrs. Soandso for a ride. Or how their mothers went for whirls with certain young gallants of that day. Get ’em to talking.” Nope, A. B. Z., we’d better not. You know it wouldn’t do to tell the quiet, reserved youngsters of this Shelby generation that their dads ever had dates with any girls except their mothers, or that their mothers ever listened at ol’ Dobbin’s feet beat out a tune on a country road with any other men than their dads. No mum, even dads and mothers should have the right to cherish those little secret memories of bygone days. With dad’s pate bald and shiny and with mother worrying about her extra poundage and the lines under her eyes, why not let . the mothers flit back across the years and recall days when young men whispered sweet compliments in their ears, and, at the same time, permit the dads to remember that more than one young lady, if you please, had con sidered him a strapping, handsome young buck? * Recent wisecracks we enjoyed, although you may not: This one by Jo Jo, the weather prophet: "The editor of a prison paper is able to say a lot in one sentence.” The story by Patrick Balbriggan, of the neighboring town of York: A young couple had been out riding and—well, out for the evening, A highway patrolman flagged them down. The boy suggested that they give the patrolman fictitious names. Up came the patrolman with his pad; “Yoi* name,” he said to the boy. "Ben Necking.” the youth replied. “Yours?” was the query as he turned to the girl. "An’ How,” she said. And it was Backtrack, the Spartanburg columnist, who wrote this line: “Hoover is the world’s best hydraulic engineer—he drained America in 18 month.” Then he added “Hoover thought of that ought to be hung.’’ Shelby Shorts: On the office door of a Shelby physician who is out of the city hangs this notice: "Please leave your calls and pay your bills at the Cleveland Drug store” . . „. .
