TRADE AT HOME We would urge people of any con munlty to trade at home. Home merchants build our towns pay taxes, work for the hettermeul of oomtnumuea. By trading at home we meat: . trading In the HOME TOWN am trading with the locally owned bus', ness ? THAT'S TRADING A'l HOME. And friend merchant, don't urg* folks to trade at home, with you while members of your family go tc distant towns to do their shopping. Your family should trade at hom? too. LIGHTS AND WATER BILLS To eay the least KDigs Mount air now has a very up-to-date and e> pensive system of Sending out water and light statements. One can al ways find something good In the bar if they will Just look for it. On< thing good about the elaborate sya tern and' the mailing out of the bilH is that tho local post office receipt! will he dwelled to the tune of aboui 1250.00 a year, and maybe that wil hasten the day of a new Post Other for Khtgs Mountain. . THAT NEW P08TOFFICE We have noted the two recent an - nouncements pertaining to the !m provement of the Postal Service 11 Kings Mountain, namely, enlarge* city delivery sen-ice so that practi calty every home receives hosue-m house delivery, and tnat Parcel Posdelivery service Is to be inaugurate* soon. These are two of the most im portant improvements In the history of the local Postofflce. And we knov it took hard work on someone's par to secure the improvement. And w< have a good idea who is responsible and he Is none other than our efflcl ent Postmaster, W. E. Blakely. An< while we are on the subject of Pos' Office, maybe witn- the backing o the entire town, our Postmastei could start the ball rolling toward) the securing of a new Post Offlci Building for the Best Town in th< State. SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR BOYS It has been suggested' to the Ed: tor of the The Herald to give soon publicity to the idea of starting ; Sunday School Class for boys am j young men of Kings Mountain win do not attend any Church or Suntl-a^ f School. This interest "(1 person's Idea, ant we think it i* a good'1 one, was t< | i * have the Sunday school class to mee in the court re,out of the new Tow: fla.11 Ona Snnrlav sr^nro n Mot ho I diet to teach the class and the next Sunday a Pie?bytei'iaii, and the nex a Baptist and so on down the line By this way interest would be kep up with the attendants, and no on* denomination Iwould predominate. I would appeal to all. Tins persot made the statement, there ar< enough boys and young men on tlx streets every Sunday morning to til the court room, and these ere rea material .for Sunday Schools. Who'll take the Initiative to tri 1 an experiment that we think wil 1- pay real dividends in better citizen ship, and a better tcwn. j WATER RATES Everyone knows and agrees tna the light rate is much too high it , K mgs Mountain, so we will not dls I ruse that here,- but we would like t< offer a suggestion as to the watei H& Everyone knows that i>retty greet lawns enhance the beauty or a town By and that It takes lots of water t< i have velvety grass during the sum if mer months. Town officials eay that it costs st much to operate the water depart Imeni, pay bonded Indebtedness, etc This ts true and we agree with them ?but it would not cost the Town but very Utile to furnish extra water al the sane price. At the present rait the [minimum charge for water If | $1.26, for this the small user gett 2,000 gallons of water. Why not stll collect the $1.25 but give the small 1 user more water for bis money, sa> 3,000 gallons at the same price. *We are not in favor of cutting the irste, but would like to have more water for the same money. It would be la big help tf this arrangement was made for the summer monthi oaly. Kings Mountain would be a prettier Town. CKlaena (then could afford to water their iawne, as It ii : wow, water Is almost too precious to I-sprinkle an the graas, one has to smve It to drink. i** THU Church News LUTHERAN CHURCH U Boyd H*bh.

As Congress meets In Its current spe; cial session, the American people look II hopefully to Capitol Hill for relief from ' the many problems which have troubled [ them through recent months. .'J For from Washington and elsewhere I nave come many signs more or less op. tlmlatlc In hatu.e. They Indicate: That members of Congress, fresh from human contacts with the men and women back home, will be guided by the wishes of those constituents, rather than by the demands of officeholders and politically-appointed bureau chiefs. That Congress will again assert a sense of Its responsibility under the govern| ment of balanced powers established by ] our Constitution. | That Congress will remember that I taxes are paid out of the earnings of the i men and women who labor, and that every dollar flung recklessly Into new and odd experiments Is a dollar out of a wage-earner's envelope or a housewife's budget. . That Congress will realise that the solution of unemployment lies not in jungles of diagrams and figures, but In encouraging the enterprise which creates employment?and with It national prog1 ress. That Congress will insist that ours Is a government of and for all the people, and not for groups and classes favored 1 on the boats of how many votes they I represent. This, say commentator* from Washington, represents the spirit of many Congressmen after their healthful contacts with the folks at home. America will hope It Is an accurate picture. And Congressmen should hope so, too. For on the Judgment of thoee folks at home, depends ultimately not only re-election to Congress, but the pcogrses of our nation aa well. Politicians way talk threaten, but It is the people who make the decisions and cast the totes. I TMs la eemething fee WasMagten to KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. THU1 filwESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH A. T.

WHAT HAS G.ONE BEFORE: Major Qcorse Daviot, whose wife Anne has le/l him because of his absorbed interest in Joslo Bradford, goes to a weekend party at which Josie and her husband, Captain Bradford, are present. Capt. Bradfrod, who is David's subordinate . officer, shows his enmity toward Daviot because of the tatter's domestic ''poaching". At a late poker game, Daviot uins heavily from from one of the players. Grant, who drunkenly accuses Aim of cheating. Daviot; to whose honest playing Josie is a witness, is about to force a recantation from Grant when Bradford seconds his accusation. Ciutpter Three Bradford's accusation of cheating put Daviot Jn a position that wai perplexing, not to say untenable Though he knew of course that the charge was false, and though mosl of the otbere were convinced of It, it was impossible for him to pen sHm? sfi?. i ta ? uuu jl?ctttttub?n ^ giving] Bradford a chr i to ci r^ate an us ;- scant'.?.; by coupling bis wife's rap!

In fact, Bradford did not miss liio opportunity for a thrust at George by mentioning, during the heated discussion that followed his accusation, the fact that George had been living beyond his income and now missed the resources of his wealthy wife, Anne, who had left him. "Well, no use arty more talking," said George, restraining his anger at the trumped-up charges. "I'll see my lawyer on Monday." He started for the stairs leading toward his , room. Josie Bradford, flashing a hateful look at her husband, followed George and overtook him in tho halt, "George, that was marvelous of yon, keeping me out of it!" He held her close in his arms. "What did you expect?" s "What are you going to do?" she asked after a moment. "Take action, of course. It would bo the end of him, anyway." "Hut there aro two of them against you ? you wouldn't bo believed. You couldn't clear yourself without telling the truth!" "I intend to tell the truth about us, Josie. Anne's gone; your husband knows; no need for any more lies." Bhe drew away from him, alarm showing in her eyes. "My dear, you can't do that. It will mean the end of everything ? our career, your friends. We must lw practical. "Practical?" he echoed slowly, Kite a man unwillingly awakening from sleep to cold reality. "You Lain ? money?" "Not exactly, George; but we must live. X can't go laavlng w ad, my home and everything Just to settle down to love In a oottage." , "Cent you?" be asked bitterly.

And the whispers, of" course, increased in volume and malignancy. Meanwhile Anne, leading an aimless and unhappy life in Paris, waited with dwindling hope for a letter from George ? some word that might open the door to a reconciliation with the husband sho still loved. But none came. For George, now completely alone, and with the bitterness of his unmerited disgrace gnawing at his soul, drew further and further into his shell. Desiring to get away from his regimental associations for a while, perhaps in the hopo that the ugiy affair would bo forgotten ,in time, he applied to the Colonel for leave and received it v/lth some reluctance. He moved temporarily w".h his orderly, Tandy, to the gentlemen's club of which he was p, member. Entering the lobby at'the cockte.lt hour, he greeted affably hlr many ctubmatcs who lounged about. Even with conditions as they were, lie had scarcely expected the reception. he met with: the curt, chilly nods, or complete silence that greeted him from one after another.
