dog was ta'en along for examina

b:dly lacerated.
It Is not known whether the mad

There is some discussion just now
anent the advisability of the crea
tion of a recorder's court for Gasto

saying whether It favors the propo
sition or whether it does not. We
shall not take any position in the
matter until such time as we shall
have gathered sufficient Information
to enable us to form a definite opin
ion. In this connection, however, we
present below some facts which have
been compiled for The Gazette with
reference to court costs, etc., in the

The Gazette, have not as yet given
the subject much thought.

THE PARCELS POST
WILL BE OF INESTIMABLE VALUE TO ALL
New System Sending Packages In
augurated With New Year Prov
ing Valuable Brings City, Sur
rounding Territory and Rural Dis
tricts Into Closer Touch With
Each Othet" Some of the Facts
Concerning the Parcels Post i
Mr. H . Schneider Sends First from
Gaatonia Post office.
Despite the fact that Wednesday
was a legal holiday and that accord
ingly the local postofflce was closed
for the major parC of she day, Mr.
H. Schneider availed himself of the
opportunity afforded, when the of
fice was open for a short while eajyy
in the day, and took unto himself
the distinction, or honor. If you
please, of being the first person to
send a package by parcels post front
the Gastonia office. The article sent
was a gold ring which with the box
and wrapping weighed five ounces
and was dispatched to the Baltimore
Bargain House, Baltimore. Later In
the day, on train No. 41 from Char
lotte, there were five parcels post
packages for Gastonia individuals.
With these transactions the new sys
tem was inaugurated in the local of
fice. It w'll be some time, however,
before the public generally begins to
realize the Immense advantages at
tendant upon the system. In Tues
day's paper The Gazette will carry a
full page of matter descriptive of
the system, together with maps of
the country divided intb the zones,
rates rt nntni( and all other ex
planatory matter to which the pun
lie Is entitled.
As Is generally known, any article,
as high as 1 1 pounds In weight may
tie sent by parcels post and the rate
is determined bv the zones. Ordi
nary postage stamps will not be
good for the parcels post packages,
but instead there are separate
stamps for this especial purpose.
The entire country is divided into
circular zones and the rates are
based on distance. The distance in
miles does not mean the distance by
rail, but the distance in an air line
across country.
There is first a local zone includ
ing Ga'stonla and rural routes. Then
there is a first zone which has a ra
dius of .10 miles in every direction,
the second has 1"0 miles, the third
has 300 miles, the fourth has 600
miles, the fifth l.nnn miles, the
sixth 1,400 miles, the seventh 1.S00
miles, and the elgth all beyond 1 .
800. By a simple calculation from
the reference books furnished every
office in the country, the postmaster
can from the destination of the
package compute the rate. All
fourth-class matter, merchandise
must be sent by this parcels post,
and as noted must be stamped with
the parcels post stamps. For exam
ple. In the first zone the rate is five
cents per pound with one cent for
each additional pound. In the sec
ond zone, the rate is six cents for
the first pound and three cents for
each additional pound and so on
down the list of zones to the eighth
zone where the rate is 12 cents for
the first pound nnd 12 cents for cacti
additional pound.
As to the advantages of the sys
tem much can be said both pro and
con. Many are inclined to think that
the small home merchant and man
ufacturer will be injured In favor of
the large mail-order houses of the
North and West. Such Is not nec
essarily the case. A farmer or
house-wife living on a rural route
desiring something from the city
can 'phone the order to the town
merchant and have the article deliv
ered by rural free delivery the next
morning at the door. On the other
hand the farmer who has produce to
sell may. without going to the trou
ble of hitching tip and driving to
town, mail his eggs, butter, etc. at
his own door to his customer In
town.
Department stores In the smaller
towns and cities can use a reeular
mail order system similar to the ex
press system employed heretofore
and at much less cost. It Is expect
ed that retail merchants will make
use of this svstem to a great ex
tent. Salted, dried and cured meats,
nueen rrs properly packed and
linu'cN and oils are some of tn
hlnes that may be sent now by par
cels post.
To Install Officers.
Gastonia Iodge No. .13 Knights of
Pythias will install officers for the
ensuing term next Monday night at
the regular meeting hour, 7:30
o'clock. These officers were elected
early in December. This is to be an
Important meetine and it Is desireo
that all the members attend.
Enlarging Mill.
An addition 60x7.1 feet, one story,
to the Monarch Cotton Mills, Dal
las, is Hearing completion. It will
be equipped with 4,000 twister
spindles, bringing the total number
of spindles in the mill up to 8,20o.
The7 product of this mill Is to be
changed from hosiery yarns to card
ed yarns Nos. 36's to 50's. Under
the able management of Col. C. B.
Armstrong, of Gastonia, president
and -treasurer, this mill has enjoyed
a prosperous year. The machinery
in this addition will be put Into op
eration about February 1st.
Mrs. S. R. Clinton has returned

open a set of account books In
which may bo shown the tota'
monthly receipts of fees and core

pert and Intelligent manager, as
signing distinct and separate ac
counts for each and every officer,
which book shall bo permanently

and the appointment of an auditor,
are Important and directly In line
