Indian Summer Recalls Memory Of Time Maniteau Smoked Pipe Amid clear blue skies, warm sun shine. and golden tinted falling leaves may be seen for several days the bluish haze which tells people that the great Indian Spirit which once was said to rule the world is smoking his pipe again. It was this great spirit that gave the name “Indian Summer” to that season of the year when the short ening days are unusually warm and a mellow feeling pervades the still air. It is then one sees on the dis tant horizon a bluish haze that re sembles the escaping puffs from a pipe of peace. It is a season when all nature is adjusting itself for the colder weather that is to follow. The bluish haze is ozone, or oxygen in a more rare form, formed as the rays of the sun strike through the alter nating layers of warm and cold air. A very old Indian tale says that this season of the year is named for the Indians because long, long ago before the white man came, the Great Maniteau lived here. Late one autumn he sat down to rest as he looked over his world. He light ed his long pipe and, as he began to smoke, the cold winds began to blow and brushed some of the ashes from his pipe into his face. The Great Maniteau did not like ■ it and said in a kind voice, "Stop j blowing all ye winds, until I have , smoked my pipe.” At once the winds j ceased and the smoke from his pipe filled the pir. So it is now. For 10 or 15 da?fc ' near Hallowe’en the warmest and i kindest are called Indian Summer is a balmy peacefulness settles over ihe land. * i These Are Principals Invoked In Dramatic Rescue Of Mrs. Sto ll These photos show two of the principals involved in the safe return of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoil, wife of a wealthy Louisville, Ky., oil mag nate, who was held by kidnapers for six days until the payment of $50,000 ransom—left, Harold Nathan (back to camera), in charge of the department of justice search for the kidnaper, being inter viewed by reporter* after Mr*.

Telegraphic permission to sell cer tificates for 200,000 pounds of sur plus Cleveland county cotton was received yesterday by Alvin Propst, Bankhead administrator. This means that growers who have produced cotton in excess of the Bankhead allotments may make a saving by buying the certificates instead of paying the government tax at the gin. The certificates sell for 4 cents a pound. The tax at the gin would be 5.67 cents a pound. On a 500 pound bale, the saving Is $8.35. Mr. Propst has on hand certifi cates for 1,650,000 pounds, but will be allowed to sell them In parcels, and only with direct permission of the agricultural administration. There has been a great demand for the certificates, he said, and ex pects to have disp|sed of at least a thousand pounds by this after noon. Mr. Propst said this afternoon that a total of $1,953 worth of cer tificates had been sold today and yesterday. Nothing but cash or a cashier's check is acceptable in pay ment. He urged farmers who have a surplus of certificates to sell them in the county rather than send them elsewhere. He will be dad to cooperate in this, if both seller and purchaser will call at the office of the county agent. In instances where a farmer has a surplus but knows no buyer, Mr. Propst will try to effect a sale for him. Ham Jones To Speak At Wellmon Reunion Hon. Hamilton C.

Players Thud To Hard Dirt In Bucking Burro Tie Game Neither Kiwanis Nor Rotary Able To Cope With Explosive Donkeys; Battered, They Quit With Score 3 To 3 Donkey or burro baseball was in troduced to Slielby Thursday aft ernoon With a fanfare of thudding bodies hitting the dirt at the city ball park and bursts of speed dis played by donkeys running the wrong way at critical moments. The score, if you are interested, was Shelby Kiwanis club, 3, Shelby Rotary club, 3, a tie. There was considerable discussion on the part of the Kiwanis club anent the scoring of the tying run in the last half of the last inning, quarter or chucker, depending on whether you care to use baseball, football or polo nofnenclature. But at any rate that is the officially accepted score. A team picked from the two clubs will meet the winner of Friday’s game Saturday after noon. Friday the Lions and the American legion will clash. Saturday’s game will actually start at 3 o’clock instead of at 2. However, there win be entertain ment at 2 o’clock. Soft ■ball on foot will begin at 2 o’clock and will last until 3 o’clock when the donkeys will be brought into the fray. ~ A serious description of Thurs day’s play defies word-picturing ability. There is considerable ques tion as to who hit the ground the hardest, more discussions as to who did the nicest bit of fielding but no question at all over the inability of any base runner to ride a meek looking but not meek-tempered Rocky Mount burro affectionately named John Dillinger. Before the game ended batters, when they saw John lined up for them to ride, purposely popped out to the pitch er. And about John hangs the tale of the argument. In the last inning with the Rotary club two runs be hind and two men on base with John of the long ears due to be ridden by the next batter an un explained shift was made. John was transferred from the first base line to the position of third base, held down by Troy McKinney. The tractable third-base donkey was then led on to the first base line and the next Rotary hitter was able to ride him, all Rotary hitters, in the meantime centering their hit ting toward third base where Mc Kinney was more or less mounted, on John Dillinger. Despite the charges of unfairness the game end ed amicably. all players being in such shape as not desiring further physical encounter Highlights were the spills of Andy Lattimore, Klwanian. who did some beautiful flips over donkey heads; other Kiwanians who gave him not able assistance in falling being Charles Eskridge, Oeorge Wray. Dr. Pitt Beam. Dr. S. F. Parker, James Webb Gardner, Troy McKinney, Lee B. Weathers, Frank Hoey Spurgeon Hewitt. Rotarians who likewise fell all over the place were largely outdis ‘anced bv their shortstop or left fielder. the place Cameron Shipp played never being quite dear to the onlookers, Pat McBrayer, Jim Reynold*. U. L- Patterson, Dr. H. 8. Plaster, Prank Reavis, Charlie (Diz zy) Coble, A. M. Snider, Everett Houser. While the game is played for fun real art was displayed in a serious vein by the two first basement, Dr. Plaster and Charles Eskridge.

' because we've had more arrests here for drunken driving than In any coun ty I’ve been in recently. Yet drunk - mess isn’t the cause of most of the accidents. Plain foolishness causes mast, of "em.” Questioned for a specific defini tion of reckless driving, the patrol man "said that passing other cars on curves ranked with passing long lines of traffic as the cause of most wrecks. “I chased a car the other day from the South Carolina line.” he said, "that was making between sixty and seventy most of the way. and passing lines of cars any way at all. That's what I mean by reck less driving." The best drivers on the roads, in patrolmen’s opinions, are bus and truck drivers. They obey the rules and drive safely, he said. It's the reckless motorist who tries to ncoot around the big ones that cause the smash-ups. "We're always scared about wom en drivers,” he said. “We don’t know just what they’re going to do. But statistics show that they cause fewer accidents than men.” He shook his head. not quite under standing that one himself, but will ing to give the ladies their due. In Henderson county, where Ser jeant was stationed not long ago, he fine for drunken driving is about $150—and there are few Irunken drivers, he said. The fine iere is $90. sometimes $50, and here are a few more. Expects Four Bids For P. 0.
