Charlotte Obserrer. . , .' v "Wherever vou find cotton mills on the increase, Jydu? End blockading and illicit trade in whiskey an : the ""decrease,' re marked a prominent manufac turer to 'an ' Observer reporter yesterdays :Tbe statistics? of any section - will demonstrate this conclusively.- The facts canuot be f gained always from the court records, for ,the en forcement of the laws is oft times neglected by ; the'ofScefs. Tt e general principle is true nevertheless. It is'-m ;f act that the increase in the spindleage of . any section is always followed bv a proportionate decrease in noonsbining, blockading and a general illicit whiskey business. " A sentiment ? is developed against such practices which al way s results sooner j pri later in the - prosecution tf of ' the cllenders. The. natural conse ouence is that all those who make it a regular practice to circumvent the laws, either dis continue or move to some "other section Those.: who-desire jto engage in other work can ; al ' . ways secure employment in fthe cotton mills. ' Consequently those who are, hardened moon shiners seek other climes. ' s -"Gaston county furnishes such .. an example ' Two decades ago , there, were no cotton mills';in operation there and -v blind tigers haunted every cove. tloonshining there m those days was as ; bad as in Wilkes. , The county was often referred to as one noted for the number of its illicit stills. As the years passed by cotton mills began to . spring up here and there.,; The -industry developed, giving: em ; ployment to hundreds ; and thousands of people. The ma- - jority of the mill operatives were from the country and., possessed ' more than ordinary "strength "Of characters The sentiment ; against the 'illicit I manufactur ing and sale of liquor manifested itself at once.-;Tbis. public spirit was fostered by the mill ? owners and to-day there arc . compara tively few violations against the revenue laws in Gaston: county. Now and then some: oli ofender - drives across the -county into the mountains and returns with a wagon load v of moonshine - liquor. ; Occurrences r; of this' kind, however are ;on the de cline, 'i Gaston county is one ; of the ; best-iegulated and best governed counties in the State. "The court records cannot serve to prove j the general principle " that ' blockading diminishes with the increase an cotton mills. ffl The number, of prosecutions is 'not determined by the number of viol nics, tut father by the activity of the revenue cllcers. Wiles county is rcted for the , -cuctecrotrits; blockade stills and yet, last year, t! a record in tbe office of the cl:ik cf court shows that ticre was but cne offer ier prcscc-tsd.- Two years befcre tl even one. ; , "The court r in? neverthek , I: the past thirty 3 V" I t' ere' were 4 c. -j (j.- -.3n county, ia . i. 3 . iy, 3; in 1877, Lin Gaston p ; !

In 18S6, 13 cases were brought from Gaston and 20 from Wilkes; in 1887, 7 from Gaston and 2Q from Wilkes: in 18C3, 12 from Gaston and 7 from Wilkes; in 1833, ! nuui uaoiuu sun iiviu f i j in 1890. 21 from Gaston and 11 from - Wilkes in 1891, ' 2 from Gaston and 41 from Wilkes; in 1892, 2 from Gaston and 33 from Wilkes; in 1893, 9 from Gaston and 23 from Wilkes: in 1894. from Gaston and the astonishing total of 95 from Wilkes. ;This evidently aroused the. liquor men of that section and during the next two years there wereout 3 cases prosecuted. - - - "In 1896 tbe good people of Gaston 'undertook to eliminate tbe blockade business root and branch. That year there . were 10 cases sent ,up; 'the tnext year," 13; the; next, 39;! the next 13 and the next'. 21. This wholesale prosecution drove most of the moonshiners out of the county for in ; 1901 there were but 7 cases prose cuted and only 4 in 1902 . ?ince that vear. there has been no case prosecuted ; In uaston and to all intetrfs and "purposes . tbe blockading trafSc tEere is at an end. i -, "There has been no wholesale prosecution of onenders in VVilkes during" the - past few years due likely to the influence of Congressman E. Spencer Blackburn.? In 1901." there were 6 cases, to' 1902. 7; in 1903, 3; in 1904, 0; in 1905, 8 and in 1906 1." NATURE'S CATASU3 CUKE; Sensible and Scteatlflc Way ia Cara thlsDIaefracabla Disease.' Nearly everyone suffers at one time or another with catarrh. The natural way to cure this disagreeable disease is by ap plying, healing medications direct to the diseased spot. - In oo other way can this be done as naturally as by the; use of Hyomei, breathed , through the neat : pocket i inhaler 'that comes with every outfit. t Put several drops of Hyomei in the inhaler and then for a few minutes, four or five times a day. Jet the ait? yon V breathe- come air; that enters the nasal pass- agesr the throat or the lungs, is filled with Hyomers , healing medication, reaching the most remote air cells of the respiratory organs, destroying all catarrhal germs and soothing and healing tbe irritated mucous membrane. A few days' use of Hyomei will show how quickljr it relieves all Catarrhal conditions, and f you will not have to use it long be fore you fiud it has effected a Complete and lastif cure.v? i So strong is J, II; Kennedy & Co's faith in the y power of Uyomei to ii cure catarrhal troubles that with every dollar outfit they; give a -guarantee' to refund the money unless the remedy frives satisfaction. They take a' li th responsibility : and you ca: ot afford to suiter longer with c: rrb when an offer, like tbi is i ide to you. . - ; ; bou: 1 extra . bottles " of Uycr i be needed they can be t.:::d'for; 50c, making I this or z cf the toost economical as well as ' the ; most reliable remedies for catarrh that is -a.. . v;a,:j J15-29 C .

Long Shoals and Lin- colnton. - He traveled over some of Gaston's macadamized roads and says that it is the best thing for. the people that has ever happened in the county. . , ' MIX THIS AT HOME. -' .The following "simple; home made mixture ' is said to read ily relieve and overcome ." any form of Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter from the blood and system "all the; uric acidand poisonous - waste mat ter, relieving at once such sym toms as backache, weak kidneys and bladder and blood ' diseases. . 'Try itt as it doesn't cost much to make, and is said to be abso lutely harmless to the stomach. Get the following harmless in gredients from any good phar macy: Fluid Extract , Dande lion, one-half ounce; Compound Karsron. one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking weliJn a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and again - at bed time. ' ' 'I ' ' This simple mixture is f said to give prompt relief,' and there are very few cases, of Rheuma tism and Kidney troubles it will fail to cure permanently. '. 'c - These are alt harmless, every day- drugs, and your druggist should keep them in the pres cription department j if f not, have him order them trom tne wholesale drug houses for you, rather than fail to use. this, if yon are afflicted.

The body was shipped to Detroit where burial was made yester day. - ; , . The race for the Charlotte postoffice will doubtless . be of some consequence. ! Mr. R. W. Smith, the incumbent, and Mr. J. B, Spence are said to be out for the place. It is very: likely that both Chairman Adams and Marion Butler : will figure in the case. There-is mucn specula tion as to who will be Charlotte's next pusimasier. , - Dr. Charles W. ,'Townsend, one of the best known physicians and surgeons on Staten Island. was shot and mortally wounded in . h 1 borne - early Saturday morning. - The - deed - was done while he was in bed and. the whole crime is shrouded in mys tery. The : physician f said he knew who shot him but declined to reveal the identity of bis as sailant. He died later in the day.

Shipments are com ing in slowly and the majority of the factories, v to employ a slang expression, "are living from hand to mouth so far as cotton is concerned. ' C The man agers are living in the daily hope, however, that the railroads will Soon be in better shape than at present for delivering shipments promptly, , - , ' . , Editor J. H. Separk is send ing out this : week to a number of newspapers in. all sections of the State and to a few trade journals outside the State copies of tbe Gastonia h a ndbook. recently : issued . . under tbe auspices of the Commercial Club, for review purposes. The hand book has already attracted some outside attention! and the bene-' ficial results to be derived by its distribution to foreign cannot well be estimated. That alt outsiders who chance to see it will be favorably impressed with Gastonia is certain. : ; . 4 At a meeting of the stock holders of the Piedmont Tele phone & Telegraph Co., held in the offices here last week, a semi-annual dividend of three per cent on preferred and four per cent on common ? stock! was declared.
