In a few days, tha citi acaa executive committee of Gastonia ahoeld call a meeting to take initiative action. One of the moat eloquent pamphlets we have dipped into lately la seat oat this week by Mr. Richard Edmonds, editor of the Baltimore Manufacturers’ RmacfL It la aa article from kiepcaea "The South’s Aasas «■* Progress," reprioted from the Pcbcaaijf base of the Review of Reviews, It opens with a table of soma facts and figures about tbe South wkkhu a stody within itself. Pacing the tsreu tr4ve years between 1180 aad 1805, this table shows that the capital iaverted la cotton arilb was multiplied by tea. tha valne af (ha cotton crop va doubled, the production of pig-boa was maftipHad by eight, the amount af coal mined va multiplied by tmhs Marly, railroad mileage Sts Kobre m4 W*.

A jury at Gaffney has convicted Gconre Hasty of murder in the first degree, bat instead of hang ing him recommended him to mercy, which means a life sen tence, with all its many chances of escape and pardon. If this man was guilty at all be should have been bong if any man in all criminal history ever de served banging. He kept the hotel at Gaffaey, and among his guests were the members of a small theatrical company playing one-night atanda in minor towns. The evidence is that Hasty during the night after the performance at Gaffney made repeated efforts to enter the room of one of the women of tbe company through the transom and by the window. He was a married man, his wife and children living in the boose with him. Next morning he secured a revolver belonging to another man and pot U In his overcoat pocket. When the wo man he bed insulted pointed him oat to two of tbe men of tbe and they remonstrated with him, be called them front the dining room into tbe lull •od t****** and killed them both. Neither had a weapon of any kind. One of the men killed was engaged to be married the woman who waa (ttffflltpfl ft mrne mm k-aSal . • VMS A BK1BE. .That Mr, M.

Several weeks ago Mr. Uvy, woo has tired of the tingle state inserted an advertisement in sev ere! metropolitan papers in the East, making announcement of bis disgust with celibacy and inviting correspondence. Many replies came bet Mr. Levy’s heart warmed to Mrs. J. Millar, of Baltimore, whose written sen timents bore the car marks of a lonjpog for congenial com panionship and s disposition to come to immediate conclusions. Mr. Levy lost no time in fixing upon his choice. Mrs. J. Miller it was and Mrs. M. Levy she now is. The couple came to Salisbury this morning. PgTEIMMED TO WED. Happy Eadfag at a Five Tears CenrtaUp.

Odom, was mar ried to Mr. Scott Greene, a mer chant tailor of Gastonia. This la the termination of more than five years courtship.

Mirinofni Waller McHam, a negro, who was sentenced by JiMge Council to the roads for four years, at the February term of Superior Court of Rowan, died by hie own band Saturday evening. McHam was convicted of store breaking, and owing to tbe fact that be bad once before served a term on tbechaingang, and that bis reputation was unsavory, little leniency was shown. The instrument of death em ployed by McHam gives added interest to the suicide of the poor outcast. Thursday he se cured a piece of rosin soap, such as is used at the chain-gang camps, and devoured tbe entire cake. In a short while he be gan suffering intense pain, and within a few hours lapsed into apparent unconsciousness. Violent muscular contortions continued, however, until hit deetb Saturday evening.
