NOT TOO QUICK
The Kleclleh 1w over, the citizen*
of Kings Mountain have chosen
through th^ir ballots the men to operate
their Town's business for th?
, next two Tears. The men selected
art from all over King Mountain
and are a representatlvfe group ol
loading business mon, who wo know
will do'everything In thoir power foi
1h<> betterment of Kings Mountain af
a whole.
-Citizens should -not expect to*,'
nibrh of those men until they have

means 'of Improving the conditions

NOT GONE, BUT?
Charity and Children, that splen
did little paper published at th<
Thomasville Orphanage reminds that
"Od things are passed away. bu1
we did see a buggy one day lasl
week: there tuc a'' few privatt
schools left In the land though out
has to travel many a mile to find
them; the buildings that were known
as 'pore houses' have not all been
deserted, and only a few counties
have torn down their -jail houses."
Quite true, but the buggy and the
old grn.v mare soon will be fit sub
jects for the museum; private
schools have about been tost in thj
shuffle that has centralized control
' of publication at Raleigh. Social se
ourlty has all but made the "pbot
house" unnecessary; and smart law
. yc-rs have- a way of Interfering witl
the county jails as popular boarding
. houses,
About the only things that wif
ftrever abide are death and taxes
These we will have with ua always
pnd about the last that will be put
under fcot is?taxea.

SALARY: ?1,161.753 A YEAR
We are not an authority on the
ability of men to earn salaries ol
more than a million dollars, but we
notice that the biggest salary pali
to any indlvtdna In the United States
in the calendar year 1937, was received
by Louis B. Mayer, a producer
of moving pictures.
It may be that Citizen Mayer is
worth as much as $1.161.753 a yeat
to the business which has acquired
bis great talents. He may be worth
even more, but. Just the same, we
doubt . 1t.
THANKS
I wish to take this opportunity to
thank the people of "Ward* 5 for their
support and vote of confidence they
gave me in the City Election. Words
cannot express my gratitude and appreciation
for the overwhelming majority
which I received. As your elec
ted representative I egpect to discharge
the duties to the best of my
ability, and the wishes of the people
for the best interest of our town.

Mountain say that in one way our
town officials were wasting money,
i He said that every a year a cereata

i f barley Thomasscn told the Band

has heard of our band, and through

not. but certainly most of North and

Imagine what a treat is in store to *

WHAT HA9 GONE BEFORE:
While the dread Apache chief,
Grronlmo, ia beginning one o/
his savage campaigns against
the uhi'.u pioneers, the front, v
stagecoach begins its overnight
jo:<vxet/ from Tonto, Arts., to
Lordsburg, A'. Af. The passengers,
in constant danger of at-,
tack by the Indians, reach a
way station, where young Mrs.
Mallory, pne of the travelers
who is about to become a
mother, finds that her moment
has arrived. Doc Boone, another
of the passengers', attends her
as she gives birth to a girl.
Meanwhile Kingo, a young
fugitive in custody of V, 8.
Marshal Curly Wilcox, and Dallas,
a dance hall girl traveling
to Lordsburg, find that they
ore falling in love. Other passengers
are Hatfield, a gambler;
Oatewood, an absoonding
banker; and Peacock, a whiskey
drummer.

The coach began Me w
Mallory to regain aome of her
strength. Gate wood, aa usual, was
loud In his demands for immediate
resumption of the Journey, regardless
of any one else's comfort or
need. Buck, too. expressed a timid
desire to got along while the getting
along was good, for Chris'
Anache wife had disappeared during
the night, taking her husband's
best horse and rifle; and no. one
pretended any longer that the situation
was not deadly serious.1
But Doc Boons gave it as his
professional opinion that the patient
must not be moved for at
least a day; and Hatfield, for once,
swore by the doctor's professional
Judgment. Peacock, the experienced
family man, bravely concurred,
even though it meant courting
danger. Curly, feeling his responsibility
for all of them,' was undecided.
"Do you need Curly In this confab?".
Boone asked Curly, as they
sal down to continue the debate.
"The Kid does as I do," pronounced
Curly.
"In that case, my boy," said the
physician, "you better make yourself
useful. There's a young woman
out In the kitchen needs help.
Siie'e making coffee." Ringo need-'
ed no second hint.
"You didn't answer what I asked
you "last nlffhf
, Dallas put down the coffee pot
and turned to face him.
"Why don't you escape, Kid?
There's a horse out there in the
corral. Curly won't go after you?
he can't leave the passengers In
his fix!"
"But I got to go to Dordsburif.
Won't you go to my ranch and
wait for me?"
"Walt?for a dead man?" aha
answered bitterly. "You haven't
got a chance and you know It.
There's three of them ? against
you!" y
"There's some things a man just
can't run away from," he pleaded.
"Then how can you talk about
your life and my life when you're
throwing 'em away? Yee?mine
too! That's what you're throwing
away If you go to Lordsburr.! Go
now?get away?forget the Plvmmert!

farewell ringing In tola ears: "Hid*
hard, Kid and take care of yourself?-for
me!" But he did not go '
far; for when he reached the top :
of a low hill a few hundred feet
away, what he raw in the distance
made him wheel about and come
tearing madly back to the inn,
despite Dallas' frantic cries.
Curly,' who bad heard him riding
away, came out to meet him. rifle
in hand?but Ringo brushed him
aside, '
"I ain't runnin' away now. Curly.
Look there!" He pointed to a
high bluff far off toward the horizon.
Two columns of smoke rose
high In the air.
Curly looked for a moment, and
deep concern slowly spread over
his face. "Ar ' *s?" he grunted.
"Yeah. Wa; -Is." said Ringo
laconically.
"Hey, Buck!" yelled Curly. Get

find that the ferry was no longer
there. The wharf and the ferryboat
had been burned by the
Indiana
"What are we going to do now?"
shouted Gatewood accusingly at
every one within earshot.
"We're gonna get across,." said
Curly, grimly. And with the help
of Hatfield and Ringo he rolled
two huge logs into the water,
lashed the wheels of the coach
to the logs in order to float the
vehicle, and started to throw out
all the baggage In order to make
the coach as light as possible. But
Oatewood would not be separated
from his valise; while as for Doo
Boone, he managed to stuff his
pockets with most of Peacock's
precious samples before the sample
case was tossed overboard.
The preparations completed, Buck
drove the horses into the .water
and made them swim across, drawing
the half-submerged coach after
them. Presently the coach was on .
.the onposlte bank, the wheels untashev.
from the logs, and the dash
for I.ordsburg was on again.

Gatewood be^an apologizing toI

Peacock congratulated h 1 m a e If
upon having'been spared to reach
the bosom of his dear family-once
more.
For, as the coach passed between
two high and narrow walls
of the canyon, none of l)s occupants
could see the dusky figures
.that peered down on them from
the canyon r!ms ? a band of
Apaches In full warpaint, headed
by the stony-faced Oeronhrto.
But as the coach swept alohg,
and Doc Boone waved a bottle to
drink a toast to their emerg:nce
from danger, an arrow whined
through the coach window and
planted <Itself In Peacock's shouldor,
pinning him to the wnll. He
sat without moving a muscle: the
others stored at nlra for a long

Among these protests, those from
businessmen are stronger than any.
One prominent businessman, the
the president of the world's largeef
group of manufacturers, said recent

"I want to make it perfectly plain
that American Industry baa no atom

on UNPRODUCTIVE arma

Itest opinion in Washington is that
n? long as the sentiment against

reople, American won't become in
volved even it war comes. Congress
men, like their constitutents, have
eons. They don't want war either.
And Just as long ns Congress knows
their constitutents are back of them
they won't vote for war.
And Washington is having add!
ttonal troubles as a result of the Eu

right embarrassing for some officials.
Center of the new worry is the 120,

Decision of the House I^abpr Committee
to hold hearings oh the Labor
Act amendments simultaneouBljwith
the Senate Labor Committee
l ad observers puzzled, for a while
last week. But then the strategy behind
the decision began to show itself
and the story Is simply this:
There had been no requests for
hearings In the House, (because
hearings were already underway lu
i 'he Senate) until a moce was started
for a Congressional investigation
of the National Labor Relations
Poard. which administers the Labor
Act.
Immediately the CIO, the NIRB
r.nd administration spokesmen began
scratching their heads for a
way to head off such an investigation.
Finely when it looked as though
the planned Investigation might
become a reality, somebody hit upon
the Idea of starting hearings on amendment
proposals.
The strategists reasoned that the
.1 louse would not be likely to undertake
hearings on both the amend
nu.nt and Investigation proposals.
And It worked, (or the time being
at least.
