deer mr. editor:—
1 am writing this letter so's i can
clear up my good name conserning
a report which was put out by bill
Jones who owes me 4$ for bee! and
won't pay same that i make my wife
cut all of the stove wood ansoforth.
to annyboddy who knows bill
Jones, It Is not necessary for me to
deny this fact, as he is such a liar,
his own dog won’t believe him
when he jumps a rabbit and says
here, rover, here.
bill passed my house the other
morning in an Old ford which he
swopped his bonus for and saw my
wife chopping off the head of a fine
hen which she was a-fixing to have
dinner, and he started that lie from
that.
and the next day, bill come down
to borry 4 or 5 of my coon dogs and
he saw her out at the wood pile see
ing If my awe was sharp, and he
went off and told It again that she
had to cut the wood as well as cook
and feed and milk and fetch in wat
ter.
1 suppose If he waster see my
wife looking out acrost my fine
patch of com which Is knee high

THE EIGHT AS
BUICK
BUI EPS IT
for rosin years, he would trot off
and tell it here and there that she
had to do all the plowing, no man
ain’t no better to" his wife than me
unless he has benn married only a
few' days.
the first thing bill jones knows, i
will pop him with the law for slan
der and mallis aforethought. he
woulddent know the truth if he
waster stumble over it and fall
down stairs, his own wife has to ask
him if he is aslep after she hears
him snore.
the main reason bill is telling
things on me is—he expeckts to run
aginst me tor kurriner of Uiis coun
ty 2 yr. hence, and he stands about
as much chance beating me as hoo
ver does being eleckted our next
president, his oath ain't been worth
mutch since he was ketched selling
whiskey once. mr. editor, rite or
foam if you hear annything else lie
has said and then come to his fu

A True Story
If you want to make a man cuss
ing mad. refuse him credit at your
store. But if you want to make a
man fighting mad. credit him at
your store and then send him a dun
or two—after his account begins, to
sprout Whiskers.
Free AdTice
A man asked me the other day
how was the best way to get rid of
insects. I told him to quit voting for
them for the legislature.—(Calcium
arsenic and Paris green are also
satisfactory if you can get them to
sat it.)
Cotton Letter.
New York, April 8.—Liverpool
came In lower than due and so did
Bombay. It rained in Texas last
week, hence the weak spots. Boll
weevils have been found in Louis
iana, and so has graft; therefore,
the pros and the cons are negative
and minus insofar as the longs and
the shorts are concerned, but south
srn selling will no doubt adjust July
to a new low in sympathy with the
Muscle Shoals bill. Seeding w ithout
?uano Is going on in some sections.
Out we still have a mighty good
civil engineer at the head Of our
government, hence, go ahead and
sell and take your medicine.
Chapter 1.
Pardon a personal reference, but
Oelng a wholesale grocer. I want to
tell you something. Our firm bought
a, car of Irish potatoes a few days
ago from Idaho, which, of course, is
a long way off. The potatoes (32,500
pounds') cost us $228.00. The freight
charges on this shipment amounted
to exactly $400.64, and the commis
sion merchant and the broker got
something for selling them to us.
Chapter 2.
And while it’s none of our busi
ness, the railroad rates are prac
tically the same rates that became
operative during the World war.
The railroads cannot get the sym
pathy that they really deserve—
because they are using every wea
pon known to business in their fight
to oust trucks and buses—except the
right one, viz: Competition. What
the public wants is service at a fair
figure. Loyalty helps, but the Inter
state Commerce commission has not
yet cuts its eye-teeth. If I owrned a
railroad and had to run trains any
how, I believe I would lower my
rates and haul something occasion
ally.
Chaper 3
We are living In a new era. We
are drifting back, to a “profit on
volume” basis. Railroads are being
forced to maintain a high union
wage schedule while they are dis
charging thousands of union work
ers and converting them into loaf
ers. If they would cut rates and
wages in keeping with the times
(which they must do sooner or lat
er), they would fare better In the
Long run, me thinks. The longer
they put off doing tills, tne worse
off they will be, 50 says experience.

Recognition Of Boiling Springs
College From Raleigh A uthority
(By K. L. Bolton.)
A recent communication from the
state department of education to
Prof. J. D. Huggins states that Boil
ing Springs is on the state’s acrrid
ited list of Junior colleges. A similar
communication to President vVal
from Dr. Thurman Kitchin of Wake
Forest college was referred to In a
recent issue of The Star. This -im
ply means that Bolling Spjinyi
junior college is recognized by both
the denomination's senior colleges
and the state's senior colleges as do
ing standard work for which (.«
graduates are duly credited ion
they pass to the higher .institutions
of learning.
As a junior college Boiling Springs
is Just a baby. It is laying its f >uo -
dations well. Tiic days ahead look
exceedingly bright. Unless a . dic'd
is supported by taxation or i,, Uu
beneficiary of .<?ome Tery gen- ’•ou
philanthropist it must have three
things to assure its future. There
must be a great need for it, it niur.c
be located among a people who are
numerically and financially able to
support it, and they must, be located
among a people who are numencal
ly and financially able to support it.
and they must believe in R to five
extent that they are willing to give
their support. Boiling Springs jun
ior college is not supported by taxa
tion. No great philanthropist "has
yet risen to endow it. However, the
thousands of Anglo-Saxon people
of this immediate section know the
need of this school, they are well
able to care for it, and they have tne
will to do it. Boiling Springs luiiiur
college is not supported by taxation
| No great philanthropist has yet
risen to endow It. However, Urn
thousands of Anglo-Saxon people in
this immediate section know the
need of this school, they are well-!
able Vo care for it. and they have
the will to do it. Boiling Springs
junior college will gradually become
a second Mars Hill. I think the sen
timent of Ceveland county towards
Boiling Springs can be stated in t.ve
words of Judge B. T. Falls who nus
been a trustee of the school since
its birth: “Boiling Springs high
school has wrought an inCalculab.e
influence upon the social, religious
and economic life of the people of
this section. As a junior college it
is destined to occupy an equally
large sphere of service. Our people
are able to support it. It Is now a
full accredited Junior college, with a
wholesome, sound, religious atmos
phere surrounding it. It demands in
this hour the full and hearty .up
port of our people.”
A few evenings ago, hi conversa
tion with Dr, Zeno Wall, the presi
dent, he told me how* lie had <irearn
ed of certain things in his planning
and praying for this great section
of North Carolina. He told how wnen
he came to the First Baptist church
of Shelby, that he dreamed of a
great church auditorium and a
great Sunday school where hun
dreds and thousands would be
blessed by Bible teaching and Bible
preaching. He has seen that Asian

utilized. lie spoke ol dreaming of a
great revival which would *oucl:
t.eeply the entire life of Shelby u:d
richly bless Cleveland county. Hr
has seen that vision realized in: the
wonderful revival through which the
First Baptist church has Just pass
ed then, he spoke of dreaming of a
great junior college, high in all of
its standards, giving the best train
ing possible, well equipped as to
buildings, distinctly Christian in at
mosphere, seeking and enlisting in
its student body the hundreds of
fine young men and women hi the
rural districts of Cleveland county,
giving them the best at the lowest
cost, and then sending them iorti'.,
many to the higher institutions of
learning, and others back to their
homes in Cleveland county to carry
on as farmers and business men. Dr
Wall spoke of a junior college in
Cleveland county like Mars Kid,
near Asheville. That vision is yet to
be realized. I believe it is going ta
be Just as fully realized as the oth
er two visions. It will take time, but
It is going to take place. Dr Wall
seeks to find the will of God. In the
doing of His will we never fail

This Spring Wray says, more firmly than
ever, men’s clothing prices are clicking like
nobody’s business. Wray clad men will step
forth in gay§r colors, completely discarding
the somber tones of winter. There are checks
and plaids to be worn, grays and browns and
mixtures of light shades. These fabrics and
their styles are developed to put the wearer
in a more cheerful frame of mind. Like a
new song hit, a new cigarette pack that
“takes,” Wray’s clothing for men tells the
whole story of style, and the very magnitude
of these economy prices will set a new stand
