Entered as second class matter January 1, 1805, at the post
office at Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress,
March 3, 1879
We wish to call your attention to the fact thai it is and has
been our custom to charge five cents per ln:3 tor resolutions of
respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death
notice has been published. 'This will be strictly adhered to.

Perhaps, after all, we should not cuss Congress, as,
much as we do. A session of Congress costs each individual
only seven cents. How ranch cussing, or how much service,
are we entitled to for that amount?
Judging by the numerous Hollywood weddings of re-J
cent weeks, we have the idea alimony money and finances
must l>e running short with some of the ex-wives and ex
-husbands. But maybe the cinema center has decided to go
on an economy scale and has heard that rumor that two can
live as cheaply as one.
CANNONS LOOK AHEAD
■ IT, IS Ml El CANT to note, observes the Springfield Re
publican, that “the world’s largest towel factory is re
ported from the South us having laid in a five-year’s supply
of cotton, believing that higher prices will rule.” The men
behind North Carolina’s big towel plant at Kannapolis may
be pointing the sensible way to others. There would be a
better sale of cotton and at a better price if some of the buy
ing interests were not scared of their own judgment. How
many months will it be before they will wish they had pur
chased now.? And if they would only do so, think how the
market would be helped.
BREEDING DISCONTENT
“IF THERE IS NO change in. the unselfishness of those
v. ho control the wealth of the land,” Bishop Chandler
of Atlanta warns, “there will be revolution |n this country
by those who are pressed for want of food.” And it is that
thought, sa>’s The Lenoir News-Topic, “which has the
wealth of the country scared to death. One-tenth of the
population cannot hope to own four-fifths of the wealth of
the nation without breeding discontent.”
There is thought for you. How much of the present
depression is based upon the cause and twofold result out
lined above?

A NEWS ITEM in our favorite tri-weekly informs that
thtere is very little political talk going on now in Cleve
land county. Little or nothing being said of prospective
county races, and no interest whatsoever in the 1932 con
tests for governor and senator. That interest will develop
in due time. Cleveland never failed to get up a stir before
primary day, but there are other important things to think
about until spring. Facing this section, and all other sec
tions have a similar problem, only worse in some plaCes, is
the task of talking care of the unfortunate through the win
ter. It is the type of work in which politics should play no
part. Let’s do that in the way it should be done, and then
there will be time a plenty for the political activity.

THE ONLY PROCEDURE
REPRESENTATIVE GARNER of Texas, who will be the
speaker of the; House if Congress is organized by the
Democrats, says that a legislative program will be advanced
% by his party designed to relieve the nation’s worries. The
plan., he adds, will be presented regardless of which party
organized the House. Just what that program may be we
l cannot say..but certainly, Representative Garner is follow
ing the only course in saying that the Democrats will offer
and cooperate in some relief plan regardless of which party
controls the legislative session. The people, harassed and
perplexed, will tire very soon of putting partisan politics
ahead of helpful legislation during conditions such as now
exist, and. too, they’ve reached the point where they will
not be bashful about expressing the disgust. Get the relief
program rolling, do what good can be done and then battle
it out for the credit.
NOT BEING HEARD HERE
THE RECENT CRITICISM of the new State highway sys
tem by R. T. Fountain, candidate for governor, is report
; ed to have received some support from politicians and for
mer officials here and there in the Slate. This was to have
been expected. Any number of them, foremen, board mem
bers, supervisors, purchasing agents, etc., lost jobs under
the reorganization plan. That an economy was effected by
the change is becoming better known each day now as citi
zens pays their greatly reduced 1931 taxes. Yet men who
;ost jobs or had their political organizations somewhat dis
arranged by the change are expected to whine. After all,
however, it is the tax-payer who foots the bill and if the
roads as they are satisfy him—there being no argument
ibout his satisfaction over reduced Taxes—then everything
should be in good order.
In this connection, howbeit, it should be said that very
little if any criticism is being heard in this section of the
' new system and maintenance of highways. We do not say
that there has been no criticism; few things get by without
l criticism, but none has been heard publicly. The roads may,
I as Mr. Fountain predicted, get almost impassable for school
abuses and mail carriages this winter. Yet word coming in
from rural areas in this section is commendatory instead of
critical. Some sections report the best road maintenance'
they have had in years. And this came about under two
handicaps. Due to the long drought it has been difficult to
keep roadbeds in the beat of condition. This was and is no
fault of the system. Reasonable people realize that. And
the other handicap is that the change in systems was made
on short notice with little time to perfect working organiza
tions. It takes time to get such a huge sysem of operation
upon a smooth basis, but the criticism will likely spur high
way forces on in their effort to keep the roads in the best of
condition.
STILL PRODUCING THEM
OLD GOLD AND BLACK, the Wake Forest college publi
cation, takes note of the fact that Cleveland county is
still sending out leaders. Says the paper:
In addition to Cleveland County’s producing such
celebrities as Governor Max Gardner, Thomas Dixon,
Jr. and Sr., Judge Yates Webb, and Hon. Clyde R. Hoey,
she has furnished two more of immediate interest to us.
The present directors of B. Y. P. U.’s in Wake Forest
and Meredith, A. V| Washburn and Mary Elizabeth
Elam respectively, were born and reared within a few
miles of each other in this western county lying at the
the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Miss Elam’s
home-is in the world-famous town of King’s Mountain,
while Mr. Washburn spent the early part of his life in
anti around Shelby.
Not. to mention the fact that about half of the Wake
fresh football eleven came from the same section.
TEN TIMELY COMMANDMENTS
“WE ARE IN THE MIDST of the worst crisis,” declared A.
L. Brooks, prominent Greensboro attorney, at Gastonia
recently, “economically, industrially and financially, -that
this nation has ever known.” His comment upon conditions
and possible remedies contained much profound and sensible
thought.
Mr. Brooks, considered a potential candidate for the
Democratic nomination for United States senator in ,19:52
and one who has given careful study to the existing economic
situation, asserted that “thoughtful, red-blooded American
citizens are getting damned tired of seeing the natural re
sources of this country exploited, and the earnings of labor,
farm and factory withheld from circulation among the very
people \vho created it. Is mankind to be crucified upon a
cross of gold?”
“He went on to suggest a remedy and in his remedy he
struck the keynote of his address, viz: prosperity must be
gin on the farm and with the farmer.
“I have emphasized the situation of the farmer because
1 am persuaded,” he said, “that we cannot hope to see re
stored prosperity to all our people until the problem of agri
culture has been solved aright.
“If the great business minds of this country would Jen&j
their attention to helping work out the farmer’s problems,
limiting their observations to helpful criticism and giving
constructive advice and friendly co-operation much good
would be accomplished. The farmer does not need more soft
credit, but hard cash—a decent price for the fruits of his
labor and fields.”
Mr. Brooks declared that the only way to resume nor
mal wholesale conditions in this country is to start with the
individual. '
“If you could call back to earth that old grandfather
who took his bride to the little farm, built a home, accumu
lated a competency, raised a family, supported the public
school, worshipped in the nearby church, and died honored
and respected, ho would likely philosophize as follows:
“1 When adversity comes, take it standing up.
"2. Go to work and stop thinking about what might
have been.
“3. Stop trying to get something for nothing. It can’t
be done.
“4. (let out of your cars and off the highway for a sea
son. and onto the plantation and into the worshop.
“5. Live out of your gardens and fields instead of out
of tin cans and other people’s fields.
"6. Deny yourselves luxuries as long as you have to de
ny your creditors.
“7. Pay your debts and preserve your credit.
“8. It is a good thing to have money, and the things
money will buy, but it is well to check up sometimes and see
if you haven’t lost something that money can’t buy.
“9. Love your neighbor as yourself and your country
more than yourself.
'TO. Always remember that spiritual values do not de
preciate.”
If every one of these commandments could be carried
out to the fullest, the country’s troubles would soon vanish
into thin air.
