them J Jidelights by Renn Drum SQUARE ANOTHER story a BO it THINS Squire A. B. C. DePriest. (Alphabet is the nickname) rocs Buck Hardin one better about the twins. T'other day, y'know. Buck shook hands With one of the Lutz twins two times, thinking he was welcoming both back home from school. A few years ago,” ’Squire DePriest says. ”a friend and myself were iip at Hendersonville on business. At that tune the Zol Thompson twins were in school near there. While we were parked at the curb one of them came up and said that he needed fifty cents and would we let him have it and tell his dad when we returned to Shelby so that he would pay us back. We did him the favor, knowing that his father would pay us. Ten or 15 minutes a youngster we thought to be the same boy came up to us and told us that he needed a half dollar and would we please let him have it and get it from his dad when we returned home The man with me knew Mr. Thompson pretty well and his reply was: Heck no. I just gave you fifty cents and I’m not going to give vou another and go back and tell your father that I let you have a dollar ’ - It was not until we were about halfway back to Shelby," Mr. De Priest says, "that we happened to think that the second boy must be •the other twin and that we hadn't, treated him right.’’ Now you tell one. Home-grown, puns are scarcer these days than ant i-Roosevelt voters. ROlNDINli I He. MjCAKE On the signposts "Jones Place," that short street linking East War ren with East Marion and the Cleveland Springs road, is written with a hyphen—"Jones-Place.” So far as we know that may be right in that rhe abbreviated street is just a hyphen between Marion and Warren ... Shelby’s past is chock full of mysteries. A reminder of that fact comes from a confab with a pair of high school grads, J. h. and p P. who are intent upon studying journalism and are casting about for feature news stories. A late instance: who killed the negro woman whosp bcxjy was found on the Central campus last year?.And the odds are thafc-every reader can list two to four deaths in recent rears about which there was, and remains, some mystery ....

"Gov” Hawkins, the mail carrier, says that Wake Bridges, the Mooresboro McIntyre, overlooked one little item in his history of the town.

The llthia water springs, northwest of town, from where came the water for the famous old Beck’s fountain on the court square nf bygone days, is open to the public again, we hear .... Pete Webb, the young Shelby golf professional, is "red hot again.” Last week he journeyed to Charlotte and scored a 69 to tie the course record on the municipal links.

You’d be. surprised to know how many Shelby and Cleveland county people have written personal letters to President and Mrs. Roosevelt—and received answers . . . fasey Morris, the Shelby high coach, can still sock a baseball. He was in Chapel Hill Monday for the game between this year’s Carolina team and the famous old '22 team on which he was catcher. The old-timers were licked 4-3 by the youngsters, but the Shelby coach crashed out a triple to drive in one of his team's runs . . . More and more Shelby people »rr planning to take in the World Fair at Chicago. Incidentally, do you ’•member what prominent Shelby woman of today attended the last ins fair there, making the entire trip by day coach?

Ruth is a favorite name with Buck Bridges and his brother. They have a sister named Ruth, a sister-in-law named Ruth, a cousin named Ruth, an aunt named Ruth, and they're both going with girls the name of Ruth .... Judging by the way Shelby femmes flocked ,n the theatre here Monday, they're still strong for brown-eyed, black haired wops and chiselled profiles. The talkie was Ramon Novarro’s Barbarian” and the heart-flutterers almost packed the Webb theatre fnr the matinee. Who said the Valentino influence had waned? . . . Harold (Ike) Griffin and his bride, of Samsoun, Turkey, and other furrin” points, are in Gaffney visiting the better half's relatives and "'HI be stopping by Shelby soon .... Blessed Events are causing quite 5 space jam in the Shelby hospital nursery .... A marriage the town has anticipated and predicted for several years may take place ere (fie pnd of the summer. It's a romance the social set has watched with ‘‘ager interest .... For some reason, we are told by the stein sippers in mwn the price of beer is being held up in Shelby while it drops else where in Rutherfordton Schlitz sells two bottles for a quarter, and in Charlotte tap beer is going for five cents a throw, but in Shelby the briee is still 30 cents per bottle and 10 cents a schooner ...

The Demo wa-tic landslide is still rolling along. A copy of a Wilmington, Delaware, Paper mailed to his father, S. E.

From all sides one hears that, it 'he largest shopping crowd in Shelby in more than two years, Christ ma-’ week not excepted. Saturday afternoon a parking space in the up !nwn business area could not be found and the sidewalks seethed writh humanity much as they did in the good old days when the whole family -'5Jrr to town for the circus. J’m Austell, the veteran barber and alderman-elect,, says business Wfek was the best in several years. And JP. isn’t a Pollyanna; "'hen he says it is good, it is good. Other business men about town will >11 you the same thing. Some of them are afraid to admit it for fear 'hat it will not last, but if you'll pin them down, they’ll tell you that rhf old cash register is ringing as it hasn’t rung since way back yonder knd who’s gonna cry about it? Bishop In Appeal For Ministers To Save Prohibition Rlshnp Cannon Says Saving 18th Amendment Is Up To South ern States. Washington.—Bishop James Can non, Jr., has sent to 8,500 pastors ol the Methodist Episcopal church South, a statement that the result of the movement for repeal of t.hr eighteenth amendment -'rests with the southern states." In a letter signed by him n? president of the. church's board ol temperance and social service, and by Eugene L. Crawford, as secre tary, the bishop said that "the greatest present danger is the ef fort to make the repeal of thr eighteenth amendment an assential part of the program of the federa’ administration." "We greatly deplore that Presi dent Roosevelt emphasized favor ably, this distressing violation ol the constitution in his radio ad dress on May 7." the letter said "and declared that ‘the sale of beei has already resulted in considerablj reemployment and incidentally hm provided much needed revenue.’ "President Roosevelt utterly ig nored the fact that every beei truck helps to displace a milk trucl and that the 'much needed revenue will be paid largely by depriving the wives and children of drinking la boring men of the necessities ol life. "Many of our political leader" have utterly failed the people or the prohibition question. They sol emnly declared against the returr of the saloon, but have sent dowr to th6 states for ratification a pro posed amendment which repeals th< eighteenth amendment outright anc offers no substitute whatever. W< mast therefore face the momentou: fact that the repeal of the eight eenth amendment does actually mean the return of the saloon b; whatever name it may be called. Can Be Defeated "The Issue presented is clear anc unmistakable. It is not and musi not be made a question of partisar politics. It is riot a question of sup porting the program of the presi dent or of congress, or the prograrr of any political party. Congress ha: submitted the question of repeal tc the states for decision. This pro posal to repeal the eighteenti amendment can be defeated in f majority of the 48 states If thf church of Christ recognizes clearp the great moral Issue involved anc fights as aggressively against re peal as it did for ratification of t,h< eighteenth amendment ... "It is generally agreed that th< fate of the repeal movement rest: with the Southern states. If thei vote solidly against repeal it wil be defeated. If they are much di vided. the issue is doubtful. “The advocates of repeal, there fore, are bringing all possible pres sure upon Southern dry Democrat: to vote to support the administra tion in its demand for repeal a: necessary for the success of the fi nancial program of the government "But ‘the followers of the Son o God who was manifested to destro; the work of the devil’ can neve: agree that their votes on this grea moral question shall be determinec by partisan political expediency oi by governmental financial policy.'
