We wish to call your attention to the tact that it la and haa been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolulons of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This will be strictly adhered to. ““ WEDNESDAY, JAN. 3. 1934 twinkles ,* At least it seems as if the New Year will bring us tha Shelby-Boiling Springs road, promised 18 months agp. By waiting, we are to get a two-way bridge across th# river near Sharon. Now the next drive our citizens and Chamber of Commerce should make is for the SheL by«Groverr road with connections at Patterson Springs and Earl. . Our amazement was acute when “Little Women" was screened under Mrs. Alcott’s original title, and our credulity Is now strained to the limit by the announce ment that Lewis Carroll’s “Alice In Wonderland” is call ed “Alice in Wonderland.” Hollywood, though, is still Hollywood—they first considered Jean Harlow for the title role. An attempt is being made to work up a mad dog scare in Shelby and environs. Several dogs have been t - killed and their heads sent to Raleigh for examination. The reports are, of course, frightening, for in the mem ory of the oldest Bettler, the Raleigh medicos have never failed to find hydrophobia. Our advice is, if you’re affaid of dogs, stay away from them. If you own a dog, keep him in until the scare is over. This isn't the sea son for mad dogs, but any old time is good enough for hysteria on the subject. CONGRESS CONVENES t Congress convenes today, and for once the nation re gards the meeting of its legislators without much ap prehension. In former years, the burdened taxpayer groaned and set his shoulders to carry another load of unnecessary taxes, gritted his teeth to endure, and gen erally. .to ignore, a new set of unpalatable laws, took what solace he could from the sagacious wise-cracks of Will Rogers. But today we are fairly certain that Congress will continue to follow the leader. The majority is in favor of the Roosevelt policies, political reporters inform us, and the Republican critics realize that their best course is to let the administration take either credit, or blame for its program. With the Congress solidly behind the President, the nation has hope and promise that 1934 will continue the steady progress toward recovery began on March 1, 1983. The only fly in the ointment is that Senator Huey P. Long’s term does not expire until 1937. JAIL DRUNKEN DRIVERS The swiftest means to check the apalling numbers of automobile accidents in North Carolina is to require every driver to submit to a rigid test of his ability and his eyesight. Incontrovertable statistics show that ac cidents have waned in states which require drivers li censes. But in the meantime, while we are trying to achieve this end, the problem of drunken drivers confronts us with sickening force. Week-end accidents, many of them serious, crowd the front pages of our Monday pa pers, and on the police botters. if you care to look, are scores of names beside which is written “driving while Cleveland's Judge of the Recorderr’s court has been giving $90 fines to drunken drirvers, and we are happy to report that the fine is so heavy that many of them, failing to pay it, have been jailed. We strongly advocate jail sentences for all drunk en drivers. This state voted Dry—now let’s stand by our guns, and above all things, put an end to the most dapgerous by-product of the bottle: a gibbering idiot at the wheel of a speeding automobile. COLLIER COBB OF CHAPEL HILL At the University of North Carolina alumni dinner here last week. Executive Secretary House brought one piece of news that will sadden every old grad. Collier Cobb who spent his boyhood in Shelby and published a paper here, is very ill. Up to his retirement last year, his geology classes were crowded with joyful students who sat at the feet of one of the most astute scientists Chapel Hill ever produced, to learn not only the facts about earthquakes and coal mines, but history, poetry, gracious manners, geneaology and the lost art of story telling. Dr. Collier’s explorations and his books had made him noted ami comparatively wealthy, but best of all about him were the famous yarns and side comment.-, interspersed between monadnocks and granite faults. Former students sorrow for the present generation 1 students who will never hear the famous reference to Muller in the field of hay, or learn in the middle Ifinternslidc lecture on glacial tendencies the first One W«y of IJting Your Head! ^ _By TaJburt 'll W’t£ DEAL name of the girls their grandfathers courted, or chortle over the oft-told tale about the dinner in Switzerland with the ladies who couldn’t speak English. Dr. Cobb’s chubby face beamed over many a generation of geology students, probably your father’s, and he loved them heartily and entertained them vastly, and taught them I sound science. Who, by the way, can ever forget the favorite: "We are what we are largely because we are where we are?” And so was Chapel Hill what it was largely be cause Dr. Collier Cobb was what he was. OFFICIALDOM GETS TOGETHER County officials and their wives got together Mon day night around a banquet table. They paid for the feed themselves and not out. of county funds. The get together idea was that of Joe Blanton, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and it was a splendid suggestion. Our county officials are all honest, public spirited and efficient servants who at all times have the welfare of the county at heart. In all the county’s history there has never been a scandal come to light. No public funds have ever been misapplied and these officials have given us an economical and good government. Because of this good government, our county has prospered and its repu tation has spread far and wide. It is to the eternal credit of our public officials that Cleveland enjoys the second lowest tax rate of any county in North Carolina, has never defaulted in bonds or interest and today when Cleveland county bonds are offered for sale there is some one anxious to buy. For all of this and other reasons, our citizens are proud to live in Cleveland county. SERVICE CHARGES AT BANKS Gen. Hugh Johnson saved the day when he ordered that the proposed national bankers code does not go into effect until he could have time to give it personal study. In Washington there is a tendency to standardize every thing without regard to sectional customs and trade practises. It, was much easier to have one bankers code for the entire nationa, but it would be a jolt to banking and to customers to go too far at one leap. In the money centers it has long been the practice of bankers to make a service charge to customers. Some ■ have one system, some another. The public in those cen ters have been accustomed to service charges, but here in im; ooiun, ana in Cleveland county especially, banks nave been rendering .a generous public service without mak ing a charge. Yes, and they prospered by it until bor rowers couldn’t pay and assets became frozen. North Carolina bankers formed a clearing house association and prescribed reasonable service charges. Small depositors were allowed a number of free checks at no charge whatever. This Carolina code was not so hard on the public. Up in Washington, however, a cer tain official of the NRA thought he was delegated with authority to act and gave out information that a na tional bankers code would go into effect Jan. 1st. It was a stringent code and provided for a service charge on all unprofitable accounts so that the bankers would ! reap a harvest. That is they would get a harvest if cus tomers continued to come. Gen. Johnson decided the na tional bankers code was unfair to the public so he order ed it held up. Many small-town bankers themselves, felt that the national code was too strict for communi ties not acquainted with service charges. They couldn’t afford to object, but Johnson did object in the interest of the public. A bank is a sort of public service institution and is due to render a certain amount of free service to its customers. If small depositors are to be encouraged to save their earnings and make use of banks which now have guaranteed deposits, due consideration should be given to them in the matter of banking. Otherwise, i small accounts will be withdrawn and depositories will be made out of stockings, mattresses and hidden places. We trust (Jen. Johnson will stand between the bank ers and the public and not permit an imposition. And we believe he will do this very thing before an unreas onable and unwarranted service charge is codified. There is a great deal of jealousy among the big banks in the monied centers that feel safe. They op posed the deposit guarantee because they felt it would put the smaller banks on the same footing with them in the depositors' mind. Could it be that the national bank ers code was approved as a retaliation? (Jen. Johnson i caught it just in time. Nobody s Business Uj Cifcfc Atclitk I Church News From Fist Rock.
