DA1L .. .. President and Editor Secretary and Foreman - News Editor .. Advertising Manager $2.50 $3.00 Entered m second class matter January 1, 1905, at the post office at Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress, March 3. 1170. We wish to call your attention to the fact that It Is and has been our custom to charge five cents per lu:e ior resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This will be strictly adhered to. Just tomorrow and then not another Saturday for the Christmas shopping. Gan you think of anything that will be harder to find 1n Shtlby tomorrow than parking spaced What a great fellow Santa Claus would be if he could bundle up that prosperity so widely talked in 1928 and bring it around the corner where all could get a look at. it. The Republicans are going to Chicago to nominate their ;andidate for president, and Ye Twinkler, an ardent Demo crat, of course, can think of no better place for them to go and put some poor fellow “on the spot.” FRIDAY, DEC. 18, 1931 TWINKLES Jttst as*,her latest picture was to be released to the public^ fairious movie star in Hollywood fainted and became suddenly ill. It might not be charitable to say it, but wasn’t it a v|ry appropriate time to crash the front page? AGeorgia minister was recently convicted of murder ing his son to collect $2,000 insurance with which to recoup market losses. The Greensboro News thinks it "will prob ably be a lesson to him never to try to beat another insur ance company out. of anything." TWO TYPES OF SUICIDE IN THE THE 30-DAY” month of November 72 people were killed in automobile accidents in North Carolina and 32 others were listed as having committed suicide. How much does that lack of meaning that there were over 100 suicides in the State in November? More than two people were kill ed each day in auto wrecks and more than one took his or her own life each day. Of course many of those who died in auto accidents were riding with somebody else and Were not even intentional suicides. But what of the drivers who drove recklessly, drunkenly, and dangerously—why not add them to the out-and-out suicides? Will theTatklity total increase or decrease in December? YULETIDE SUNDAY PRACTICALLY ALL Shelby churches will give over some portion of their program Sunday to numbers and thoughts appropriate to the Christinas season. It is a Sun d-.v that shoult sie church attendance almost as largt as it is on Easter—and pros) ects are tha: there wdl be record crowds at the various churches day after tomorrow. There is nothing more inspiring in the \”uletide season than music and songs reflecting the spirit of the season. And what better time to hear and muse upon the wonderful Biblical story of how and why Christmas originated—the story of the first Christmas and the Babe of Bethlehem? In your other holiday plans leave an open date for at tending at least one Christmas sendee. REPUBLICAN NORTH CAROLINA WHEN THIi" REPUBLICANS gather in Chicago next June to nominate a candidate for President, North Carolina will have eight more delegates than in 1928. The Tar Heel State, you remember, broke from the solid Democratic South in 1928 and entered the Republican column. The reappor tionment, however, is on the basis of number of congressmen. In 1928 this State had 20 delegates at the G. 0. P. conven tion; this year the delegation will be composed of 28. Only eleven other States in the union are entitled to more dele gates, and only one State in the South, Texas, has more. The Texas allotment is 49. The States having the big voting power at a Republican gathering are New York with 97 delegates, Pennsylvania with 75, and Illinois with 61. All of which perhaps will be of very little interest other than increasing curiosity and supposition as to what the Repub licans will do in June at Chicago, and if North Carolina will again go Republican. HUNGRY MOUTHS AND HARD HEARTS STORIES OF ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE pathos are relat ed each day in the charity campaign headquarters in the basement of the Lineberger building in Shelby. It is there that broken, crushed mothers, perplexed that life is as it is. plead for something for their children to eat. Fath ers, out of toork and gaunt from doing without so that his wife and children may get what they can out of what little they have, come in and in an embarrassed manner ask for » bit of help. None of them, or, at most, very few of them, seek charity direct. In that group are once proud men and women. Perhaps in days gone by they have vowed they *ould never ask for help. But it is different with them now. They themselves might weather it through somehow, or die from undernourishment nad pneumonia without a whimper, but the father and mother in them will not permit them to let their children suffer a similar fate. Undernourished little bodies, underclothed bodies, and cold feet without shoes. Homes without a ray of heal. Empty tables, empty cup i>oard*. The hardest months of winter are yet to come. Noth ing in sfyrht, no medicine for the sick, And it Christmas < ' ' time! Think of it. Shelby’s charity drive isn’t over. Every little contri bution will help. Think how many homes the $16 given by the little group of department store clerks will help. The individual gift of each of them was not much perhaps, for they make no big salary themselves, but it helped swell the total, and it sent cheer and hope somewhere. The school children, too, came along 100 percent. A youngster knows what Christmas means. When he has his toys and knows Santa is coming, he cannot stand to think that some other little codger does not have shoes or anything to eat. If you haven’t done your bit, remember the gifts of those girl ; clerks and the school children. Hard hearts have no place jin a world that has so many hungry mouths. 1 MESSRS. MORRISON AND BAILEY Ja NUMBER OF PEOPLE, always cynical and eternally skeptical, are of the opinion that all a United States Senator has to do in order to attain prominence is to sit still, sleep and snore at the right time. Yet a Raleigh writer, after a visit to Washington, states that the two Tar Heel Senators, Morrison and Bailey, are winning esteem in the opening weeks of the session by keeping their mouths shut except when they really have something to say. Either ex treme, we suspect, has its weaknesses. A senator who sits through all debates and controversies and says nothing and does nothing, except cast his vote, cannot expect to render any great service to his constituency or to his country. Nor can he hope to attain any national prominence and esteem to speak of. On the other hand; the loquacious, argumen tative senator who butts into every debate and talk-fest will never attain very much, unless it be that type of no toriety which goes with the escapades and sensational stunts of the Ueflin-Huey Long type. The Raleigh writer, Wade Lucas, informs that Senator Bailey has very little to say and is as yet refusing to affil iate himself with cliques and factions. In doing so he is showing wisdom, according to the smart boys who write of Washington politics. Senator Bailey is, as the thousands who voted for him expected, using his head until he frets “the lay of the ground,” but at the proper time Washington will find that the new senator is amply capable of taking care of himself in debate and that what he says, when in de bate, comes from an unusual store of informatlbn and knowl edge and is not merely hot air and so many words. If there was anything that caused some of the skeptics among Bail Lincolnton Man Killed In Mill Employe'» nothin* Becomes En tangled In Overhead Shutt ing At Plant. Lincolnton, Dec. 18.—Richard Lackey, 25, assistant miller at the Lincoln Roller Mill, was killed in stantly here Wednesday morning at 3:30 o’clock when hi* clothing be came entangled in an overhead Shafting, where he was putting a belt on a pulley. His body was carried around the high speed counter shaft for 30 seconds With such velocity as to break the rafter with the impact of his body. A negro worker, 16 years of age, ran to the motor and stopped the machinery after one leg of Lackey’s body had been tom away from his body. His body was badly mangled and death la said to have been instantaneous. ■>.■ He is survived by his wife and one small child, his parents, Mr and Mrs. Charlie Lackey, two brothers, Clyde and Roy, and two sisters, Misses Lena and Lona Lackey, all of Lincolnton. Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock from Woodsidc church. Sweet Treasure In Swamps Qf Onslow Raleigh.—Tile swamp of Onslow county this year have yielded a sweet treasure. The treasure, County Agent Neill M. Smith reports, was not deer, bear or other elusive *lld game. It, was $10,928.80 worth of honey, produced by bees which harvested the nectar from swamp flowers blossoming trees and shrubs. This amount of honey was pro duced by seven bee-keepers in the county who placed hives on swamp edges and kept records of produc tion. Each of the 820 hives averag ed 133 pounds of honey with a value of $13.31. Many other farmers of Onslow and other counties have harvests 1 rich returns from the swamps through bees where no records have been kept, C. L.* Sams, extension bee-keeper at N. C. State college said today. Man Of 24 Takes 48-Year-Old Bride Ridgeland, S. C.—Mr. and Mrs Joseph Crosby were on their honeymoon this week. They were married at Walterboro. Tire bride groom who came here from Texas, gave his age as 24. The bride who was Mrs. Nena Malpherus listed her age at 48. She is the mother of eight, children. Before her first marriage. Mrs Crosby was Miss Nena Flemmings She is a member of n prominent local family and Is engaged in the mercantile business. STAR ADVS. PAYS Husband Too Plump, She Seeks Divorce Chicago.—When Mrs. Isobel Jory married In 1918 she stipulated her husband should weigh no more than the 200 pounds he carried about then. So now she is seeking a divorce. # “There’s 250 pounds oX him.” she complained to Judge Harry B. Mil ler, "and it I give a party he cats all the refreshments." The Judge entered an order fot $12 a week temporary alimony pending final disposition of her dt rorae plea. ey’s constituency to worry about him, it was hi- reputed willingness to hop into a debate and say his say frankly. But those who know him best realize that he has the neces sary qualities of restraint, qualities that blend well v'ith his student-orator makeup. Senator Morrison lias never been of the t.vpe that could bo classed among those afraid to ante* a public argument. One of his chief assets is his fighting disposition and the loyalty and sincerity in the cause he fights. Overman’s successor may have spoken too often or said too much dur ing his first few^weeks in the senate, as some of his critics have intimated, but ths criticism developing therefrom mav prove very valuable. He, too, Lucas writes, has been saying very little at the present, session. But, similar to Bailey, North Carolina knows liim well enough to be positive that he will not run away from an oratorical mix-up if the occasion demands. A pretty good mixture in both we are leef to be lieve after thinking it over. Both able tewnix in debate with anyone and both capable of holding themselves out o# minor squabbles and needless, foolish controversies until there is a time for real talk of matters worthwhile.
