PADGETT IX THE TOILS, noUaes; Preacher .-Who Formerly Peaided Here Falls - Into" Police Dragnet la Atlanta Left Family S Greenville, 8. C, and Kloped 1 With Sixteen-Year-Old , CM -'Another Preacher Does the Same stunt. " '; V The story below, which is taken from The Atlanta Journal of Tues day, the 25th, will be read with In? terest by many Gastonlans. 'Rev. B. L. Padgett, one of the principals .in the escapade there recorded, resid ed In Gastonla for a year or two and was known here as a "holiness preacher. Later he moved to Kings Mountain and was tried In Cleve land county court on a charge of slander last spring. The Journal says: Looking for one Methodist preach er from South Carolina, who, it was reported, had eloped with a young girl and was headed 'for Atlanta, the police raided a little- Madison ave nue hotel and pinched not only the South Carolina preacher and the girl, for whom they were searching, hut an entirely different pair. The Rev. B. I Padgett and pret ty Miss Carrie Stockton, IS years of age, are the two in custody, and the Rev. J. H. Newton and Miss Tessle Moore, likewise 16 years of age, are the two for whom the cons are still looking. The quartet, the preacher ana me girl incarcerated, and the preacher and the girl at large, hall from Greenville. The Vsav. Mr. Padgett takes his arrest calmly, and says that he could stand his part of It all right if it did not put the young lady In such an embarrassing and likely-to-bexiulsunderstood attitude. He is also rather sore with the policy, who, he thinks, felt that they just had to make some sort of an arrest, when they made the raid and failed to find the preacher and the girl for whom they were looking. I was on my way to Greensboro, Ga.." says Mr. Padgett, "where I was to assist one of the pastors in holding revival services. I stopped off in Atlanta for a short time just to look things over here, and on Monday Miss Stockton joined me. "She had my address, as did oth er mt-mbers of her family, whose spiritual adviser I tave been for some time. When she came here she immediately looked me up and since then I have been acting simply as her protector. I didn't know she was coming, but when she did. I Immediately wired her mother that she was here. I then procured a do- sition for her as a seamstress and have been locking out for her in ev ery way. She left home because her mother is going back to live with ber husband, from whom she had been separated, and the girl did not want to go. Neither did an old er sister, and she also was preparing to come to Atlanta. I am simply a friend of the family, have known them all for years, and wanted to do anything in my power (or the girl. he positively refuses to live with the father, and when her mother went back to him she was without a place to stay. I don't blame her for not wanting to live with him, but that's another story, and as I learn ed the things which I know about it simply as a spiritual adviser, I do not feel at liberty to go into de tails." Rev. Mr. Padgett says that he has been a Methodist minister a number of years and that last year and year before he was president of the South Carolina conference. He declares that his record is above re proach and that when the local au thorities are wired about him, they will release him. The police "flushed' the couple in adjoining, but connecting rooms at the hotel, and for that reason the city will probably prosecute the case, If the fouth Carolina authorities do not wish to extradite them. A peculiar circumstance of the case is that Padgett says that he Kr-ws both tre rev. J. H. Newton and the Moore girl. Newton left a wife and several children In Greenville, and Rev. Mr. Padgett did the same. BELMONT .BUDGET. (Crowded out af last issue.) Correspondence of The Gazette BELMONT, July 25. Miss Ethel Kelly, of Carthage, is visiting Miss Clara Sloan.

Everyone who Is to patronize the Gastonla schools during the year 1911-1912 should begin to get the children ready to do the best work Below will be mentioned some things that will help in the matter: Have each one who has not a good vaccination scar vaccinated. There is not a year that some pu pil cones to the teacher saying, I could have made a good mark if you "had not given some questions on the lart passed over while I was ab sent." The children know the evil of absence If the parents do not. Thnre are frrr or five weeks of va-H cation and each one should see that all visits possible are made before school opens. Perfect attendance Is not a guarantee of good work or a pass, but trYegular attendance is a certain hindrance to the right kind of progress and thoroughness. Recently a certain father took bis two boys of average health and ac tivity to a specialist. Toe examina tion revealed the fact that both of them had bad tonsils and adenoid growths, that one had one tooth needing to be extracted, the other four. Their breathing was bad; the shape of the face was being affected and the bearing was being Impaired. There are many children In Gas tnnla in worse condition. Is your child? Each parent should have his child t nnr'-uebly ersifred be'rre echnrl begins and send a certificate to that effect to the teacher when he re-enters staool. There are many things laid to the charge of the teacher for which some physical de fect and1 not thei teacher Is respon sible. An effort will be made to Im prove conditions during the coming year. Will not each intelWgent cit izen help in this movement for the sake of humanity and in the name of Christian charity. J. S. WRAY, Supt. City Schools. The August Woman's Home Com panion.
