There's a reason Just a week or so prior to Thanksgiving a toal-stealtng epidemic hit town. The cops bore dow-n relentlessly. They searched the houses and premises of a big percentage of the homes in the colored residential sections. As a result the colored people of the town-vthose who believe in a little added gaily during the holidays—had hardly a drop with which to celebrate. The sarch for the stolen coal unearthed no telling how many cached pints, quarts, etc. That unexpected raid of the Thanks Riving supply caused any number of colored people to hope that “the cote" would “give the works” to those nabbed in the coal stealing haul. Now they're anxious to protect whatever egg-nog material they hope to have on hand for Christmas and along Freedman. Flat Rock and Red Row the word is being passed: "Stay away from them coal cars til after Christmas We don't want our likker found for no sack or two o' coal" ONE or HATCHERS BEST WISECRACKS Col. A. Hatcher Webb, he of the booming laugh, y know takes, his fun where he finds it and whah-whah.s it off where he dosn t find. He and the Wray boys—George. Vic, ct al - arc always flipping puns at each other. Col. Hatcher's latest is as follows: "In my quite a number of years I have travelled 23 states and the Di trict of Columbia In that time I've found only one man with a mil lion children. He is none other than my good friend A. V. Wray ' When skeptical bystanders questioned the declaration. Col Hatcher asks the bystander to get a pencil and figure it out. "First, he has a charming daughter. Put down the figure one All right, then, he has six sons, so just put dow n six naughts by the side of the one and if that isn't a million, shoot me down. Whah! Whah!" Another favorite Of Webb-Webbs is the contention that all big brained, patriotic citizens enjoy their toddy. When he is asked for proof, he names three: "The only and only Zeb Vance (he immortal Charles B Aycock, and Col A Hatcher Webb " GETTING READY FOR THE BEER BUSINESS Some time ago this corner quoted a local citizen as saying that Noun Carolina's thirsty, and more particularly Shelby's thirsty, would motor aown to Blacksburg or Gaffney for their beer if this State does not make beer legal following such an action by congress "Youre just a few miles distant." a reader informs. Shelby people will not have to drive all the way to Blacksburg to blow the froth off a foaming mug of Budweiser once beer comes back Already a certain Shelby man has leased or purchased a filling station site just across the State line, a few miles below Shelby, where, when the proper time ar nves, he plans to tank up as you desire to be tanked up." And this corner has positive information that a Shelby firm has already made arrangements to handle Budweiser, the real otd-timey Budweiser, in this section when, and if, modification comes Is your mouth watering, or Is it? .VHELBV SHORTS Prom our friend. W B. Bell, of Winston-Salem, comes the annual complimentary copy of Blum's almanac, for which we are duly thankfu: not being without the weather standby since teeth-cutting days.

Howard tDoci Moore, one of the best football linemen whoever played in these parts has dropped out at Wake Forest, and Milky Gold, an All-Southern high school player and captain.at.

A new' auto-stealing racket in Shelby is that plied by a youngster who goes to business offices and asks for the auto keys of the man in the office, saying that the car 1 ; parked wrong and that the cops wish it lined up . . A year or so ago this colyum told about the man by the name of Green in the Boiling Springs section whose father, mothei, grandfather and grandmother were Greens and whose daughter married Greens. While Fred Logan was In Florida he met a young Kansas newspaperwoman, and later she sent him a Wichita paper carrying an item about the Green family which remained Green ... Only 23 more days, if you're interested. FIRST COUSINS FROM CLEVELAND Any number of men have gone away from this county and made good. The following, written by Charles Pegram in his News-Topic-col umn. is about a pair of first cousins which settled in Lenoir Two ot Lenoir's finest gentlemen among the class ol attorneys a: Buford F. Williams, state senator. and-Lcr Spurgeon Spurling, the pros renting attorney <4 this district. They hail from Cleveland, have ad joining offices, and are fir t cousins. In his boyhood days Mr. William used to wrestle with Governoi Gardner; during his adolescent days Mr Spurling used to set records in the cotton fields ot Cleveland. Now they • re among the mast prominent and most successful attorneys of the cut IFs a fine tribute to the calibre of men produced in Cleveland SUCH IS I.OVK!

A. Yes Prune Apple Trees For Best Results Pruning is Essential Pari of Orchard Management. Improve Quality | Of Fruit, By Extension Department > Pruning must be considered an essential part of the orchard man-; agement and a big factor in the economical production of market- j able apples "We know of course that pruning influences the shape of the apple j tree and aids in the development of | a well-balanced top w hich will pro-1 duce uniform fruit." says H R. Niswonger. extension horticulturist at State college. "Alter the young trees reach maturity, it is necessary to continue light pruning so as to maintain this balanced top and to even the distribution of fruit spurs or the fruiting area. Pruning also increases the size and color of ap ples on trees that are too thick to permit the free circulation of light and air. The better control of fruit pests may be secured by proper pruning.” The North Carolina experiment station has conducted some interest ing tests contrasting heavy and light pruning and in general has found it doesn't pay to prune too heavily after the shape of the tree has been formed. The light pruning consists largely of a light thinning of the branches with a minimum of heading back Heavy cutting bark and excessive thinning results in an abundance of water sprouts, delays the formation of fruil buds and re duces the size of the tree. Mr. Niswonger says therefore the amount of pruning needs after a tree begins to bear fruit or after the first years of heavy production will be governed bv the size and color of the fruit and the amount of terminal growth. rf the terminal grow th has been reduced by this heavy production and the fruit has lojt color and siae. a heavy thin ning is needed This will prevent the tree becoming a bearer evrv two yars. • Sav* G.

Beautifying the American woman costs hundreds of million* each year Ts It worth the price either 'to her pocketbook or to her skin? The tendency on the part of the com mercial beauty specialist is toward exasperated claims of what can be accomplished Dr Herman Good man, writing for the December Hv geia, elucidates to what extent cn metics are effective and enumerate many cosmetic follies Skin food and nourishing cream are effective as such There ts n basis in the claim that rubbing an cream into the outside layer of tb skin will feed the skin cells: In at dition. the claim that certain !< tions remove pigment spots such freckles ts a fallacy, and any sk lotion advertising this claim is nostrum. Pigment spots are a pei of the true skin, coloring matte such as suntan, which may be pres ent in the top layers of the scurf skin, disappears in winter as thh top skin is shed Consider for a moment the make up of the skin. There are two lav-: ers; the corium, or true skin, and the epidermis, or scurf skin. The hair, nails, sweat apparatus, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, fat glands and lymphatic glands are essential features of the true skin, the co rium. The scurf skin consists of lay ers, the top one being the horny external layer, which is easily re moved. No chemical, mechanical or electrical device can safely do more than remove the uppermost horny dead layer of the epidermis. When tnadame of mademoiselle secs the sheets of the dead cells peel off. she is happy; but that is only a forced peeling of skin which would re move itself in its own evolution For the same reason, no com mercial hair remover can perman ently remove, because if it were strong enough to destroy the struc tures about the papilla, deep in the skin, that cause hair growth. it would completely destroy the skin The use of galvanic electricity by means of a needle is slow tedious work, and not every hair removed ceases to be replaced No external medicine has yet been | invented to make hair grow. The only good that any hair restorer af fords (and one does not need the hair restorer to supply that) is the massage which accompanies it Mas sage is good because it puts the blood into circulation in those parts, but this applies to any part, of the human body.
