Around Our TOWN OR Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. MATBE THIS'LL BE , ONE CP ON YOU Offhand, how many of you know cnat John F. Schenck, Sr., the Lawndale textile manufacturer, ardent golfer, and fellow, is a li censed lawyer and in time past has practised his profession in Shelby? Speak up! Perhaps you knew it, but until this week we didn’t, being, perchance, Ignorant that way. In getting a report ot the county bar banquet we were asking C!yt>* n Hoey about the outside guests. He named them but did not include Mr. Schenck. Oidnt we see Mr. John Schenck there?" we asked. "Sure you did,” the could-have-been-Senator replied, "but Mr. Schenck is a lawyer; practised law here years ago, but quit to enter the cotton mill business.” How we live and learn! A COACH AND SIX FOR SILENT EIGHTS Times are changing, yessir! If you don t believe it, we 11 mareh Mi4. Char he Shull up before you and prove it. He strolled into The Star this week and said. Wish I could hate had you at my place (South LaPayette street) yesterday. Out behind were hitched two wagons and three buggies—more than have been there in ever so many years. Not so many months ago flivvers and bigger car, were parked back there. But what amused me more than anything the was the harness used on the horses and mules hitched to the three bug gies. I guess they put their autos in the shed, rather than buy new tag6, and brought their buggies. Anyway, you should have seen the patched up harness, little bits of rope and string on two of the horses. I bet that buggy harness hadn't been used in 20 years, if that. Some of the youngsters, if that keeps up, are going to see something they’ve never seen. A fellow with a smart-stepping horse and a rubber-tired buggy— a regular rig-out—may come back into his own yet.” Oh, James, prepare the coach and six, or the Rock Hill rubber-tired and Molly—and leave the Rolls Rovee in the garage * CHUCKLE FOR THE SHINY DOMES The fellows in the audience who have, sleek, shiny bala heads jlioiud' »ei a chuckle or two out of the eomic strip chatter between Pop' aori' fnend the doctor. ‘ Pop,” asked the doctor, “how’d you come to lose your hair'' "Worryirw,’’ the taciturn Pop replied "Worrying about what?” "Worrying about losing my hair.” 'VINTER LESS WINTER: MUMMER LESS SUMMER When men In casual converaation run out of anything to talk about they talk about the weather. tWomen, under the same circumstance, talk about aome other woman, not present.) Of recent weeks there has been much talk hereabouts, and elsewhere, about the unusual weather. The majority of the old-line seers and prophets have given in and reluctant - ty admit that this is going to be "a winterless winter.” Maybe so, and so [»r it looks as if it may be, but what if the winterless winter is followed bv a summerless summer? That will make it hard on the iceman as well as the coal dealer and doubly hard il the coal dealer happens to sell iee in the summer. Tut, tut! you may say, there cadnot "be sueh a thing as a summer less summer. Maybe not, but sis months ago you d likely hate, tut-tut ted at the idea of a winterless winter. And the records of the past (it lakes a Httle research to talk this much about the weather) show tha many years ago—in 1818—a summerless summer followed a near winter lees winter. An historical document left by Chauneey Jerome, of Ply mouth, Conn., tells how he nearly froee during June snowstorms in 1816. Charles Pierce’s “Weather in Philadelphia” supports the statement by telling of ice and snow in June, July and August of that year. The Monthly Weather Review of Vermont” also tells about a three-inch snow in June in New York and a five-inch snow in the New England States. The Review goes into detail and tells about a heavy snow on August 30th. ... "Not half enough com ripened that year to furnish seed for the next .... The year 1816 had neither spring, summer, nor au i umn. The only crop of corn raised in Vermont that summer was saved by keeping bonfires burning around the eornfields days and night.” Who about Shelby and Cleveland county remembers hearing about that winter from his grandpap as related to him by his father? We’re1 met warning you. And now that we’ve thought of some other chatter j we ll move on HOW MANY MILES has we travelled; Nave you ever wondered how many miles a veteran physician travels in the course of 20 years practise? How many miles by buggy-ar.d-horse »nd how many by automobile in later years? Isn’t it likely that the old er physician, like Dr. E. B. Lattimore, E. A. Houotr, S. S. Royster and r. c. Ellis have Journeyed several times around the world ministering toi the tick. Being curious that way, we asked Dr. Houser this week how many horses and buggies and automobiles he has had in three and one-half decades of practice "Let me see,” he replied. “In 32 years while I practised at Fallsl'n 1 had M buggy horses and 27 buggies. I also used seven different auto mobiles before I left there. I have been practising in Shelby 22 yews and have used 10 or 12 automobiles. I don’t remember exactly. I’ve worn out 27 buggies and got the best out of at least 17 automobiles. Of course, I didn’t wear out the 84 horses; T traded them when they began to shew j wear.’* Think of ft. And while you’re ruminating, dont you suppose J. Lawrence Lackey! could get a good ad out of Dr. Ben Gold by asking him how many mile s he has covered in Buicks? SHELBY SHORTS The hundreds of descendants of John Teeter Beam in the Shelby section should do m little checking on family history and see if they haven’t a relative in Congress. Among the new Congressmen at the present session is Harry P. Beam, of Illinois. He is 38. a lawyer, and a former athletic star at Loyola university .... If you have the crap shooting urge in your blood and desire to roll a couple naturals—on the telephone—cali 711, the Hopper brothers’ Carolina Motor Inn .... ‘When they finish that new Shelby-Gaffney highway,” chimes up S. W. maybe our South Mountain moonshiners can run enough hooch down there and sell it to bring back to Cleveland county all the marriage li cense money our young couples carry down there.” Mebbe; love and hooch are close competitors in the business world .... When OUn Ham rick, of the city police force, gets wrought up enough to cause some other fellow to cuss, he merely says "Dad ding it.” . . . Charlie Pegram. Lenoir News-Topic columnist, is to be married soon. Even cynical col umnists collapse . . Among the Montgomery Ward stores not to be < losed in the Caroliius is the Hickory store managed by Paul Wootlon former Shelby man .... This old-timed dollar bills getting back into circulation these days resembles a bed sheet when laid down beside ot.e of the new bills—that is. if you have both, or either, for the purpose r' comparison.
