In the first week of September there came to tills column a letter from one of its most cherished and admired friends. It was written as he was returning to Shelby, by train, from a business trip to New York. When the public got hold of the- lelte^-a letter that has been repro duced in more newspapers than anything ever published in this depart rnent-.lt was merely signed “Old Timer." It was from a man who didn’t care to see his name paraded in print, but from a man, nevertheless, who enjoyed passing along his wise observations to others—a man, too who seemed to get more out of life than younger men. Monday they carried him ovor to Sunset. "Old Timer," if there are readers who had not guessed it, was John R. Dover. An old timer, yes but with the spirit of youth evident in every contact So youthful. Id fact, was he in demeanor and spirit, that this corner, along with num erous others, was surprised to learn that he was nearing the 74th mile stone in life. Many men on the shady side of life are inclined to whine as they look upon the modem world and complain of the advantages present day youth had which they did not have. The farm boy who become a great industrial leader had, we suspect, as few advantages as any man. He came up at a time when the word prosperity must have seemed as remote as golden streets and pearly gates. But he never complalnd, and he never asked you to lisonn In to a recital of the handicaps which he had to overcome that the yssuth of today need not face. Instead, he had a habit, surely a pleasant habit, of seeing things from the opposite angle. That last contribution—"I remember”— do you remember it? “You young men of today," he wrote, “have many advantages that I did not have, but, as I think it over, I had many advantages in my day that you do not have." Then he proceeded to list .some of them. That list of memories of bygone days was carried in newspapers through out North Carolina, It was not merely memories of a man who could' brush the unpleasant episodes aside and remember the cheery events, but the memories, also, of a man who didn't take life with a surface appraisal but looked underneath into the meaning of It all—and was satisfied. His contant vein of humor crept in here and there in his memories. For instance, this recollection: “I can remember when eczema was called the itch.” And. then, in conclusion his optimism broke through In this manner: “I can remember the hoop skirt, the bustle, the Grecian Bend and the long train, but I CANNOT remember a time when the girls were prettier, sweeter and lovelier than they are today." No better presentation of tlve esteem in which he was held could be given, we believe, than a photograph ol the stream of humanity, men and women from all walks of ltfe, which poured along LaFayette street Monday to pay their last respects. Along the curb purred handsome Packards and Cadillacs, bearing business and financial leaders come to pay final tribute to a farm lad who had climbed to the point where they respected his business ability. Along the sidewalk marched a procession made up of all types. There were old men, leaning heavily on their canes, who could remember when the textile magnate was an overall clad youngster, wearing what Mr. Dover laughingly referred to as bro gans with brass bumpers on the toes. Scattered here and there In the crowd were young men, close friends of the deceased, for he had a knack In being pals with his own boys, of being buddies to all boys. All along In the crowd were silent, saddened workers from the Dover mill vil lages, workers visibly shaken by the loss of the Big Boss for he was more than a boss. He had built or had. a hand In building their churches and schools for their children, the wealthy brushed shoulders witn day laborers and with the unemployed, all brought closer together by the common friendship and love for the same man—a friendship all were proud to proclaim. The flowers and wreaths, as -usual, came along too late. But, some how, were hoping "Old Timor," whose contribution* ami friendship wc priet-d so highly, looked back upon that aoeuet It was one of grief, but a scene, too, that paid respect to a man who le/t a yawning gap behind him in the community he did so much to advance UK ST FROST, ALWAYS. OS SUNDAY OR MONDAY Thin is hearsay, but maybe some of you will watch next yeai, We! got It from Buck Archer, Shelby's amateur florist, and he. in turn, had if from Oldeon Price, the Lattimore man who cultivates the beautiful' flower garden just for the Joy of it. Mr. Price says, and he should know for the first frost la a dangerous day for flowers, that’the first frost ol the year always—or nearly always—comes on Sunday or Monday: morning. He passed along that observation last week Sunday morning there was a frost on the ground. POSTAL CARD DELIVERED WITHOUT ANY NAME l,ast week an odd-lookmg postal card came to the bum In past of fice, A card addressed somewhat in the manner freak curds are ad dressed to Belleve-ll-Or-Not- Bob Ripley. The address was nothing more than a newspaper photo of Gov. Huey long, clipped out and pasted on the card without Long's name, and the address of "Shelby, N. C " It came from Powerhlil, Tenn., and there was no message on the other side of. The card was placed in Earl Hamrick's box. The photo, a full front view, was an almost exact likeness of the young textile manufacturer. Now the postal clerks arc wondering if they wpre right or wrong—does Earl know anyone in that Tennessee town?

And couple Major Hoopie "har-rutn-fs.” For First Time Bankers As Whole Work With-Co-ops • The first time « history that any responsible group of southern men, or anybody else except the cotton fanner, has said to us that they were willing to help us carry the load,” said Carl Williams, cot ton member of the Federal farm board, after the meeting In New Orleans last week when forty %mong the most influential bankers of the south met with farm board members and cotton cooperative leaders anti arranged for holding seven million bales of cotton off the market. The Immediate result was that the cotton market opened next morning at an advance of more than $2 a bale. Nathan Adams. Dallas banker, chairman of the conference, opened It with the statement: 'T have made many uncomplimentary remarks about the farm board, but after what I have recently learned about the load that the farm board and the cooperatives have been carrying and how they have carried It, I find that 1 have no more criticism to make of the farm board, but a great deal to say to my feJlow bankers.1’ i The agreement with bankers fol lowed in less than a week after an agreement had been made between the cooperatives and cottonseed oil mills, under which farmers will be allowed to trade cottonseed for cottonseed meal, at an equitable rate This not only gives the farm er an opportunity to obtain the cheapest and best feed and fertiliz er without , cash expenditure, but also starts a movement to con sume in the south the surplus of cottonseed products which Is hold ing down the price.
