Ebeltoft Grocer and Book Seller Phone — 82 Around Our TOWN OR Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. ONE MAJOR REASON WHY MR. HOEY DECLINED. Every newspaper editor and all the political seers in North Carolina have handed out hit-and-miss guesses as to why Clyde Hoey refused what many consider the chance-of-a-lifetime in not offering for the United States Senate. It is a case of a fool butting in where angels fear to tread for this colyum to offer an opinion after that barrage of guesses, but here goes— A visitor to the mens Bible class at Central Methodist church yos terday morning would readily have seen one very important reason why Mr. Hoey chose not to run. This department does not offer itself as an expert authority on Bible classes, but it is our fixed opmion that there isn t another Bible class under the sun that will compare with the class Mr. Hoey has taught for more than a decade. There are few fathers who think more of their offspring than the teacher thinks of the members of that class, and there are few children who admire their fathers more, than every member of the class admires their teacher. It goes without saying that the w-ell known Hoey eloquence is one of the basic explanations for one of the state's largest Bible classes being in a town of 10,000 people, but there is a feeling bf comradeship evident in that class room which comes nearer typifying the Biblical definition of brotherly love than we have ever seen elsewhere. The teacher holds the view that nothing short of a disaster should keep men away from Sunday school, and he has instilled that belief in the class by putting himself up as an example—practicing what he preaches, in other words. The class, naturally, was elated when it learned that Mr. Hoey had no ambitions,to leave Shelby for the Untied States senate or anything else. To express their elation they observed Hoey day yesterday and as best they could let him know how much they admired and respected him. A striking little card was sent to all members urging their attend ance. One admonition was "Now is the time to show what we think of the most liberal, helpful, eloquent, sensible, and lovable man in Shelby." . .., . "For 12 years he has met his class rain or shine. He hurries home from Raleigh or Washington to do it. He sticks to us like a cock'.e burr to a sow’s tail We must stick to him like tangle-foot to a cat's paw" * The sentiment was well expressed Back when Mr. Hoey first started teaching the class we suspect that there were those cynical ones who believed he was doing It for political purposes. Today, more than likely, there are those who believe he teaches the class when it is con venient. Such is not the case. As the little card, quoted above, says, Mr Hoey gets to the class every Sunday, rain or shine. It is recalled that he drove a major portion of the night from Rockingham, where he participated in the famous Cole trial, to be on hand when his class met He was so hoarse and fatigued that his weekly lecture came in whls-1 pers, but he delivered it. Many other long trips back home have been j made for the sole aim of meeting with the class. It is our idea that th», popular barrister is happier at those class hours that at any other time with one exception—and that when he is by his own fireside. His love for his class brought about a cooperative reaction from the! class members. It is an interesting experience to watch the members ofi that class file in to their seats on Sunday morning, Two hundred or more, old and young. Godly and tough, well dressed or in the one and only "Sunday suit." In the groups are several family units, lathers and sons, such as the Beams—D. A. and his boys—and the Thompsons Z. J. and his sons. Up along the front pews are old men and tired, men who are facing the setting sun, but men who hobble there each Sun day morning despite the infinities of age. Among them are “Uncle Prank" Gaffney and “Lige" Ellis, the Confederate vet who is Just as punctual at reunions of the boys in gray. Farther back in the room are young men, some of them pretty wild as the older folks look at life but for one hour each week their lives are being molded as their mothers might desire There shoulder to shoulder, throwing their voices to gether in song, are bankers and prosperous business men, textile mill workers and day laborers. There one man is as good as another no matter how he is dressed and despite the size of his bank balance; and there for 30 minutes each week thoughts are moved to a higher plane, than that in which they travel during the week, Everybody knows everybody else. There isn’t any hauteur and high-hat. When misfor tune and grief comes to any member of the class the other membeis never overlook it. Almost every week flowers from the class are set to some room where there is illness, and if it is a protracted illness mem bers of the class drop by to leave a word of cheer. A death in a class member's family sees a wreath from the. class placed on the new mound in Sunset and with it goes a message of condolence to the stricken family. Clyde Hoey as a United States senator might have engineered leg islation of vital importance to the nation and he might have made that august body think that modern America had produced another Henry Grady, but in one room of a small-city church he is doing a Job which few men have excelled—a job that any man would like to have as a passport, and nothing else, to the Hereafter. WHAT STARTED SLOW MOTION PICTURES ON THE SCREEN ? Ell Ee Dee, a frequent unintentional contributor, passes out the best pun of the week; A movie cameraman got the idea for slow-motion pictures while in a cafe when he saw two Scotchmen reaching for the bill, SHILBT SHORTS: The town clock In Concord is running again, but it has been many months since a single tick-tock has been heard on the Shelby court square. Over in Lexington recently the town clock sprung a fit and struck 56 times at 9 o’clock in the morning .... A. tip to the news paper feature folks: Scores of Shelby youngsters can hardly wait fox the daily papers to see what is happening to "Orphan Annie".Bill Williams came in and was introduced—and maybe disappointed. Ab Jackson, the grocer, would have every farmer forced to plant every acre in cotton next year, thus forcing the price to one cent and "break ing” all men of planting any cotton at all hereafter . . . There are two girls in Shelby bearing a name entered in the prettiest-working-girl contest last week. Now the only thing for the man who nominated her to do is to say both are queens .... Shelby teachers this year are wrong in thinking the town's supply of eligible bachelors la diminishing. There’s Col. Hatcher Webb, Abner Nix, and, for that matter, what rea son for not getting hitched have such fellows as Stough Wray, Henry Massey, Charlie Woodson, et al? . . . . C. R. Doggett got a chuckle out of several memories of bygone days as recalled by J. R. D.Tonight s the night any number of Shelby youngsters will go home and tell theli parents what’s wrong with school this year. Jule’s Watermelon Syrup Still Talked Spartanburg Herald. Up Jumps Farmer Jule Brackett in Shelby, N. C., with a formula for watermelon molasses, or syrup, call your own. And the people say Its dandy. The process has to do with the squeezing of juice from the melons, boiling it down until there bubbles the syrup. Says Farmer Brackett: ‘One medium-size watermelon will make about a pint or syrup. Ana is it good? Well, try some of It with hot biscuits and you 11 never swap it for ordinary molasses or any of the imported syrups.” Soon, well have a watermelon cordial to mix with whisky and that will be the last word in making things do what they never expected to do. Financial tip. This is the time to borrow, if you can. uater, when money is plentiful, you can pay it back—maybe. Hail Stones Kept Two Years In S. C.

He has several hall stones, the largest about a half of an Inch In diameter. In perfect condition. They are some less In size than when he picked them up. due to the fact that the power has been off several tim es during the period of the two years. The hall storm experienced here two years ago was the worst in about 4 years. It was of such dura tion that on the following Monday Alvin Mason raked up a wagon load of the stones in the low places of his pasture The storm reached over an area though the heart of the city, eight miles long and four miles wide, de stroying everything in Us path There were some very fine crops laid to the ground, a total loss to the owners.
