Wonder if Mahatma Ghandi's loin cloth is made of cot ton-’ If it isn't, Louisiana's Huey Long ought to be sicked on the shrivelled little fellow who is one of the outstanding leaders of this era. • Parents of Cleveland county school children should not overlook the date of the tonsil and adenoid clinic in Shelby next week. Many a youngster may be brighter and health ier if given the opportunity to take advantage of this bene ficial work being carried on by the State. An Eskimo going to school in Oklahoma very near burn ed down (or up) during the recent hot weather because he was still wearing his fleece-lined summer underwear. In the winter he wears it fur-lined. Hut is it consistent to laugh at the poor native of the ice-bound regions when graduates of our own feminine colleges wear furs in mid-summer? Did Mr. Maxwell overdo it in outlining the issues of his campaign for governor? Tom Host things so. He was frank-talking, that is admitted, and it may have been that he was too blunt in telling us that we have been living over our heads; but conditions are such that many people think it high time for talking out in meeting. A BRILLIANT WRITER THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN, one of the beat edited newspa pers in the South, is to be congratulated upon a new feature. It is a daily syndicated article,w ritten by Walter Lippman. There are fe>y writers who can pack more bril Ij&nce'fy their lines than can the former editor of the late New York World, and there are fewT observers of public af fairs and general events who can look the situation over and tell more clearly W’hat he has seen. ALLEN’S ADVICE THE REQUEST by Sheriff Allen for the cooperation of merchants and citizens in combatting an anticipated robbery wave during the winter months is one that should meet with the hoped-for response. As the sheriff states, many stores could be made a little more burglar-proof, and merchants in rural sections could very easily remove the big urge of a robbery plan by taking their money away from the store at night. It’s only logical that a thief may hunt ’’eas ier picking'’ when he discovers after a few attempts that little or no money is being left in unguarded stores and that the stores are not so easy to enter. COTTON AT THE GATE DR. DORTON and other officials of the Cleveland County Fair made a master stroke, we believe, when they de cided to take cotton for admission this fall at the fair. Out in the grain States students are paying their tuition with wheat. In other sections low-selling farm products are be ing taken in as cash. Hereabouts we have more cotton than we know what to do with, particularly at the price it is bringing. Hundreds and hundreds desire to see the out standing of all county fairs and they are going to do it when they ean come and spend the day and not spend anything else by merely bringing along 12 pounds of seed cotton. Wonder how large the cotton pile will be at the side of the big fair gates. SHELBY’S FAVORITE SPORT ANOTHER BASEBALL season bowed itself behind the curtain in Shelby Saturday. During the summer Shel by supported four good textile clubs, the fast Shelby mill team coming through to win city honors. Rivalry between the home clubs was keen but sportsmanlike. Enthusiasm reached the point where staid owners and managers, lite the Schencks, the Dovers, Torrence LeGrand, J. O. Corbitt. Odus Mull, Everett Houser and others, were going out and whooping it up with the boys for their favorite team. The jpeedy brand of play exhibited indicates a pretty good reas on why Shelby High is the champion of champions in pro-; lucing good baseball clubs; or maybe it is the other way wound: perhaps the high school training has done much to wring out fine amateur and semi-pro players in this section. Anyway, such a baseball season is a good tonic for any town. It enabled hundreds to go out and forget their worries and ’.roubles as they shed their working poise and became youths tgain. And with the baseball season over it is football time again and happy days are ahead for any number of Shelbv ites who wouldn't for the world let you know they were ex ritable except when they cannot restrain themselves as an undersized half back tucks the pigskin under his arm and starts going places. The value of good clean sport, particu larly during a depressive period, can never be estimated at its real worth, let those who desire to make it all work and no play say what they will.

If PLANNING A FLIGHT cnsr. iut horth Pole ura Tftif HlL «-— TEACHERS PULL A “BONER” IN THE OPINION of The Star certain school teachers in Charlotte injured their own cause and that of others in the profession not so rude by acts at a recent meeting held in the Queen City. The meeting was called in regard to school affairs, there being considerable controversy in Char lotte over the slash in pay for teachers, some contending that it is unfair and others terming it just and in proportion with the times. Attorney James A. Bell was among those speaking. It was his view' that teachers should not com plain so much about a cut of around 10 percent because the average taxpayer has had his income reduced from 50 to 100 percent. Mr. Bell also pointed out that the systematic, economical teacher can live 25 to 50 percent cheaper than he or she could have two years ago. At that juncture some of the teachers hooted him. Jim Bell more than likely has the interests of teachers and all others at heart as much as any citizen of Charlotte. He is one of those frank, fair-shooting citizens any city, no matter how large, is proud of. He would be aa glad, we believe, to pay the teachers more if we could afford it, but when he believes it cannot be done he is the type that faces a situation and has his say. For that reason it isn't likely that Charlotte taxpayers, many of whom feel as does Mr. Bell, can hereafter get enthused over teachers so eager to hoot one of those who helps foot the bill, but the worst feature of it is that the hooting of a few' will react against the other teachers who realize how times are and are willing to face, the music along with other classes hit by the depression. ONE TAX ON SMOKES A CONTINUATION of the so-called luxury tax debate m this State, a controversy that held the spotlight at the last legislature, causes The Asheville Citizen to comment upon the working of a cigarette and cigar tax in Georgia. Merchants there, as the following remarks make clear, are finding the smoke tax anything but pleasant: Declaring that tobacco brokers and merchants of Atlanta “are faced with an acute situation as the re sult of steadily increasing purchases from out of the State by the smokers of Atlanta,” the Constitution says that following the recent legislation in Georgia increas ing the State sales tax on cigarettes and cigars, brokers in North Carolina, Alabama and Florida, where there is no special tax on tobacco products, sent sales represen tatives to Georgia to solicit business direct from con sumers. The result, according to the Constitution, is that thousands of Georgia smokers are ordering their cigar ettes and cigars from out-of-States houses, which ship them postage paid and tax free. The Constitution quot es the Tobacco Record, an Atlanta trade journal, as say ing that the past few months have seen “untaxed cigar ette imports increase, sales of cigarette machines in crease, smokers deciding it was a good time to “swear off” on account of the increased tax, and retailers go ing into bankruptcy." There is always natural tendency to exaggerate the effects of a special tax and the efforts to evade the Georgia cigarette tax may not be as general as the ex perience of some of the Atlanta dealers would indicate. But the cigarette tax is one that the consumer can avoid if he is determined to do so, and w'here the tax results in a sharp increase in the retail price, say four or five cents a package, he is not unlikely to order his cigar ettes from out of the State; especially now that they are so packed as to keep fresh indefinitely. The Georgia situation is only one more example of how hard it has become to find new' taxes that will pro duce what is expected of them. 5,000 HOMES RECEIVE THE STAR Every Other Day, That Mean* 20,000 in* tense Readers.
