for corrections or additions.
Give both initials. Write C,
fl. Brown instead of Mr. Brown
or. Mr. C. Brown.

of a well known pioneer in half
a dozen words, but write some
thing of interest concerning him.
If suicide or murder give all de
tails y iu can get.
5. Have verbs ngreo with sub
jects. Dont say Mr. and Mrs. B.

note-what changes- had to be
made. '
While the ten rules given above
are importand as -relating to.
written newe, yet there is one
rule supersedes them all Tele
phone really important news' at
once, . :'. .
Xastdont get mad and abuse the
editor if your article doesn't ap
pear in print, Nobody knows bet
ter than the editor bow annoying
it is to get up copy and then not
notion. But we have come to
learn that when the column is
full it wiil not hold any more
and that's the reason your mat
ter is so often left out. It's true
there is lots of matter printed
that is not as important as what
you sent but that matter arrived
in time and had it's place before
yours was reoieved, Now in good
faith, lets do our best to give the
news of your community.

15 Tiger Convictions
Our folks certainly did a whal

It paid fairly well too. That

Five of the ferocious sort went
up from our justice court with a
total of 15 cases with convictions
and road sentences aggregating
22 months.

.!:u'K in iiiiin-ossioiis of on;
liminary contest ut 'x'ings Moun
tain last night, of the approaoli
ing coumiencemiMit. Scheduied
for Apr. ii. Hil j; and tlie matter
of deciding where the historic
town of Kings Mountain belongs.
In this preliminary, eight jjirl
and three boys participated,
and the exercises were ralculat
ed to cause a friend of the pub
lie schools to thank God and
take courage Kw. 'i,' ami
girl did uobl.v, and omens for
the future are auspicious.
T) hear the recitations of these
boys and girls was truly an
inspiration and recalled th" sen
tiinent; Iew Strength will
gather for the fray Aiid newei
hopes will borrow And where
the vanguard rests today Th
rear shall halt tomorrow".
As to county commencement
we hope every school will be
represented and every teacher
fired with zeal to make it a red
letter day tor the cause of
popular education in Cleveland
County.
Everybody cant win; but all
can be in parade and liavo some
kind of an exhibit.
A start must be made some
where, and the wedge must be
driven at some time.
The success of all such en
dea vol's depends largely on
tact. 7'iil, and personality of
the teacher. .
As .very field of effort, v, e
hall rpap in due season if w
faint not. Real educations means
improving he ld, heart and hands;
and the promotion of citizenship
Of course teachers are paid
n.eagre salaries; but the way
to get more is to prove you ate
worth more. ,
.The merchant tlie mill man the
railroad projector and builder;
and even larmers often work by,
faith and not by sight. .
A teacher who merely Jraws
h's breath and his salary, will
never rise in the professian nor
adorn his calling "f iSpise not
the day of small things", ap
plieable to teaching as will as
to other fields of human endea
vor. I have felt, at times, like
Elijah when hiding from minions
ofjezbel; but now then did
recieve anau ranee that there
were yet seven thousand who
had not bowed the knee to Baal
nor kissed his image. :
As to moving Kings Mountin
out of Cleveland county, such
a proceeding would be manifestly
unjust.
Romance, sentiment, history
and tradition associate, Kings
Mountain Shelby and Cleveland
and I have no patience with the
ruthless course of tne iconoclast.
