t: fra i a i a • a ■■raisin i a is *•»» kj» :-»s «**« Around Our TOW A, OR Shelby SIDELIGHTS By A. I). JAMES, Substitute. R«*nn Drum Is away, and here's a pinch hitter at the bat. The la., lseur Henry and Peg tried their hands at jibing the local world, : neak lng up behind Drum on his blind side under the pseudonym of the jutiio of the family. Sort of the letters of a self made infant to his dnd I understand the motif of their screed was that here Drum for a num ber of years has had his own way, poking peopie In their sensitive spots dragging skeletons out, of the closets, taking his fun where he found it and nobody could do anything about It. Henry lee did something aboul it. He was assisted, I'm told, by the well known Peg LeGrand, (he twe youngsters putting their heads together to do some wisecracking, DRUMS HAS LIGHTNING FEAR I am going to take one Jibe at Drum, hit huh in the midriff or.t good crack, and then leave him to such repose as he can find in a world turned upside down, Inside out. sober and sorry and busted and belabored Drum picks on others' fears; here's an expose of one of his, a shaking trembling skeleton hauled out of his cupboard where lie thought it wa locked, for all to see. Some men fear their wives, others their creditors, some the dark arid •bine the light. Drum fears the lightning that eomes from heaven. Just what dark spot is in his soul. Just what consciousness of evil repose:, there In the depths of him that has reused this fear to grow and batten '»• la) like a swelling peach, I suppose no man knows. Mrs, Drum may have probed the secret, but 1 have never talked to her about It,. One wouldn't. Hut whatever the dark and hidden source of the fear. It exists and it is active and blighting. As I writ* this I sit in a chair, the legs of which arc prodded into glass gadgets, such as you see wires wrapped around on telegraph poles These glass contraptions are supposed to render the sitter immune from the wrath of the gods. Whether they will or not is a question, but Drum thinks they will, and at the first, sound of thunder in the west he rushes U> his office, and like an ostrich burying his head In (the sand, plunks down In the chair, where he sit* white faced with terror until the storm passes. Buck Hardin Is authority for the statement that if the storm 1. prolonged and violent. Drum will tremble so, sitting here, that the furni ture in the room shakes with the vibration; and the disturbance ran even be detected down stairs. Usually our friend is so disturbed by the uproar in the heavens that It, takes him hours to recover, hours for his tense nerves to recover their relaxation and tone. If the storm occurs in the morning, often he doc: no more work that day, but sits around on the court square and in the sheriffs office, blanched of face, weak of voice, like one recovering from the Jitters. Personally I have advised Drum to go see a psycho-analyst, make a proper confession, rid his soul of the dark and hidden secret, as It i now a well established therapeutic fact that fears are engendered fron disturbances deep in the subconscious. Maybe if we have a lot or thundei storms this August he will do that. THE BELVEDERE COW We now turn our attention to Will Lineberger’s cow; proceed as were from the depths of tragedy, from the contemplation of the inner to the heights of comedy, and consideration of the outer phenomena o the local world. Yes, Will Lineberger has a cow, so that sometime i: you are passing his Belvedere home and see the animal quietly grazing on the lawn, or quietly chewing its composite cud, do not make the for pass of getting down out of your car, ringing the front door bell, anc informing the family their shrubbery is being despoiled. They are having it despoiled on purpose, to the end that the Line berger milk bills may be—-what shall we say?—eliminated, or curtailed Which brings us bang up against the depression. Any way you turr these days, and no matter how optimistic and Pollyana you may be, yoi run up against the stone wall of hard times. Well, no matter, there is the cow, and she gives, or manufactures or whatever it is, heaps of milk, so much the family can t consume ii *11, so Mr. Lineberger feels he has to drink it, rather than throw it away One mustn't throw anything away these days; that it what out hears, has the pestering admonition dinned into ones ears morning noon and night. But here's the joker in the pack, the fly in the wei: known ointment: Mr. Lineberger is getting fat. He is putting or avoirdupois dally, and it is showing up, the result, so that he is distressed Turn any way one will, apparently, in this disturbed world, and ont faces the horn of a dilemma. THE BANK'S VISITOR. We now introduce you to an episode concerning Mr. and Mrs. Oscai Suttle. You know them, of course. Mrs. Buttle was for years clerk oi our well known city, gracing the area behind the cage at city hall, at the wicket window of which you pose on your well worn number ten: to pay the city your honorable taxes. One day this mid-week Mr. and Mrs. Suttle entered the portals ol the First National Bank. They entered with that difference of demeanoi which people take on, like telephone voices, and how-d'-do greetings when they enter banks and motuary homes, and like places. Mrs Suttle stood gazing at the high celled Interior with an expression embody ing something like admiraton akin to awe. "You are not in the foyer of the Roxy.” a wtseeracker flung at her “You are right here in Shelby. There's Mr. Blanton there behind thf desk.” ' The very pleasing mannered and genial woman walked over to the wise guy. “Do you know,’’ she confessed, in a low tone, “this Is the firs', time I have ever been in this bank.” It was a fact; what you call a positive tact. Surprising but true a Shelby woman who gets about, and knows, as the saying goes, whai it's all about, visiting the seats of the mighty for the first time YOISR FRIEND, THE GOVERNOR. Governor Gardner, pulling the curtain of the future a wee bit aside peeking through, says he sees us living in a poorer world, a world with much of the romance and the glamor gone. In' which men will once more earn their bread in the sweat of their faces, instead of picking up easy money in the bucket shops. I got the notion talking to him that some how he doesn't feel humanity was quite up to the sort of civilization sudden wealth balooned us into, and we must slump back and engage once again in the battle of the hard earned dollars. A wise man, this governor of our honorable North Carolina. 1 have never yet got a crack at him in an informal column where I could size him up in words in print, like we all talk between ourselves. He's this kind of a guy: he's got his feelings so well in hand, in such control that he doesn't let them rule his head. His bean runs the works. That's the secret of the man, the source oi his enormous power. And if yot don’t believe he's got feeling, and deep feeling, you don't know him—know nothing about him, any more than the governor of the province cl Timbuctoo. „ You will never again know the Max Gardner that used to walk aboui the streets here, greeting Tom, Dick and Harry. Hes gone, and will nol come back. He will always greet his friends, and they will be friends but there will be a gulf, a gap between the greeter and the greeted Once a man sits in high places, cm the high seat, he changes, takes or that subtle. Indefinable air of authority that always goes with those who wield authority. You will not slap your old friend on the bad aay more.

Reduced 30 Pounds Never Felt Better Safe Way To Lose Fat Take the case of Miss Madelone Crowley, for instance, who lives in Little Rock, Ark. Just read her letter: "I have used Kruschen Salts for o«fe year—when I started I weighed 140 pounds—now I weigh 110 pounds and never felt better In my life.” That’s the big reason a host of men and women take Kruschen to lose weight—as the fat goes you gain in health—skin clears—eyes grow bright—activity replaces in dolence. Take one-half teaspoonfui of Kruschen in a glass of hot water every morning before breakfast cut down on fatty' meats, potatoes and sweets—a Jar of Kruschen that costs but a trifle lasts i weeks— get it the Cleveland Drug Co. or any drugstore in the world—but for your health’s sake demand and get Kruschen Saits. adv.
