Notes And News From Here And There About
Cleveland County People You Know
GLENN MAGNET SIMMONS, eon
of Fred S., sailed for South Amer
ica last week from the Central
American port at which his naval
squadron has been stationed. Had
such a big time there, he wrote
home, that he couldn’t see how the
navy cduld afford to keep him up.
He Is the brother of Fred Martin,
and Joined the navy when Fred
went to college. Boy Scouts know ’em
well as two of the best leaders
Shelby ever had.
MRS. CLYDE R. HOEY talked to
Amelia Earhart at a Sunday
luncheon in Washington, Piercing,
pretty blue eyes, strong masculine
hands, poise, calm, broad should
ers—so the very observing Miss
Bess reporta “I’ll bet you were born
under Leo," she said. America (lt*s
really Mrs. Putnam, you know)
admitted It. Leo Is the sign of dar
ing, oourage.
They served pink cocktails. A
Washington newspaper writer re
ports that Mrs. Hoey had orange
juice.
RADIO STARS are springing up
around Shelby. There’s Ralph HOSy,
who broadcast on the CTasy Crys
tal program from Charlotte recent
ly, extolling the merits of that
product. But he oouldn’t resist
mentioning that he had 140,600
worth of excellent hones, to sell,
too. They’re in Florida. R. T. Le
Orand and Z. j. Thompson, guests
at Rot Springs, were led toward
the mike on a recent trip, but de
clined. Both seem to wish they'd
tried It.
FERTILISER SALESMEN are
here now on their annual pilgrim
age to cotton land. One hotel had
five registered the other night.
They’re smooth talking fellows, each
oonvlnoad of the superiority of his
product. Cleveland — sotry we
haven’t the figures handy—prob
ably leads the etate In fertiliser
consumption, sines we lead, or did
lead, In ootton production, and have
such vast aoreags. By ths way, If
you use as much as 80 tons, you
can probably get to be an agent
yourself. Quite a caving In that
DICE SHEEHAN AND LLOYD
LITTLE, refereeing the Rotary baa
kctbnll tournament, called ’em ac
curately and often, letting no fouls
get by, ao far aa this reporter could
see, and calling many which our
old eyea missed, or our Ignorance
passed up. Under them, the games
ran amoothly, efficiently, both men
working each game. And the crowds
and the teams liked It. Efficiency
generally gets respect—even If
you're on the losing end of a called
foul,
CAPIAS IN STAN TER la one of
the most powerful legal weapons,
almost as potent and almost as
useful as habeas corpus. To be more
specific about that, it's "habeas
corpus aubjtolendum'' and “habeas
corpus cum causa." Capias lnstan
ters were Issued here MOnday by
Judge Thomas J. Shaw. These docu
ments are atronger than subpoonat
which are merely notices to ajatter
in court. Thsy say, In effect, ‘Tiet
this man, bring him In, lock him
up until we're ready for him.”
A habeas corpus is ths way to
Kout of a capias lnetanter. Llt
lly, It means, "You have the
body.” It la a writ obtained from a
judge inquiring into the lawfulness
of the restraint of a person impri
soned. "Habeas oOrpus cum causa”
means the officials who arrectad a
prisoner must surrender and shew
Cause why he was being held. And
that ought to be about enough cor
respondence course law for one
sitting.

THE Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company began publishing
"Health Hints’’for its policyholders in
1871 and ever since has carried on
^ itf efforts toward better health.
The Company cooperated with gov
ernment officials in a campaign
against a threatened cholera epi*
demic in 1892 end thus began its co
operative work with public health
organisations.
In further developing its activities in
the field of health, the Metropolitan
organised its Welfare Division in
1909 and, at about the same time, a
nation-wide nursing service was estab
lished for Industrial policyholders.
Subsequent health records dcnwn*
strafe the value of these service*.
During all these years the Company
has worked shoulder to shoulder
with national, state and local health
organizations to stamp out prevent'
able disease.
New low mortality figures were re
corded in 1934 for practically all of
the diseases against which public
health forces have directed special
preventive efforts — notably typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, diphtheria, infant
mortality and maternal mortality.
During this year the good record of
previous years continued to obtain
among Metropolitan policyholders.
