When is the P. & X. poins to eive Gastonia local 6treet car service? According to the terms of the com pany's franchise the service was to nave been commenced the first of January this year. Nearly half or the year has gone by and so far as ny physical evidence is to be had nothing whatever has been done to ward this end. Is the city, after having given the Toad a most valuable franchise free f charge, going to let the P. & X. use its own pleasure and take its own good timw to inaugurate th!b service, regardless of the terms of the franchise? Have the people of the town, to whom a local car service would be a great convenience and who pay the taxes to keep up the streets over which the P. & N. has a free and un limited franchise, no rights in the matter? SANITARY NIGHT. It is to be hoped that Friday night's rally at the Central school will prove to be the beginning of a wide-awake and persistent move ment looking towards an improve ment of sanitary conditions in Gas tonla. As towns go, Gastonia is per haps cleaner than the average place of Its size but that is by no means saying that conditions approaching the Ideal In any great degree exist here. Many things need to be done and they must be done in the near future If our present low death rate Is maintained. Perhaps the most im portant sanitary need of the town now is the abolition, just as far an possible, of surface closets. They should, by all means, be entirely pro hibited by law in any part of town where property owners have access to a sewer line. As the town con tinues to grow the residential ser tions become more congested and the dangers of infection from this source become every year more seri ous. Steps looking to the correc tion of this evil cannot be taken too soon. In this connection The Gazette cannot refrain from again compli menting the ladies of the town, the members of the Woman's Better ment Association In particular, for the excellent sanitary work they have so far done. Their persistent endeavors to bring about better con ditions, working as they do asrainsf a spirit of general Indifference mani fested by the larger portion of the population, are deserving of the highest commendation. We would urge them to continue In the good work without hesitation. They may not be the recipients of thanks and honors now but the generations to follow will call them blessed if their efforts result, as they surely will ir persisted in, in making Gastonia a town of ideal sanitary conditions, one where contagious diseases find It difficult to obtain a foothold and where things that are conducive to health receive more attention than the things conducive to pleasure. By offering a prize annually for the best essay by a pupil of city schools on a subject dealing with sanitation thus interesting the rising generation in this most important subjectrthe association Is doing a work that will tell for great good In the future. We hope they will make Sanitary Night a permanent occasion with the city schools. ' OUR WORST KNOCKER AND HOW TO SWAT HIM. Noting the fact that Bessemer City Is building a modern hotel and that Charlotte is to begin at an early date the erection of a new hostlery to cost $1 ."0,000 the third new one within a very short period of years Castonians are taking renewed in terest in Ciastonia's need of a hotei. There hasn't been 'a day in years when the business men of the town especially and the citizens of the town generally have not realized that the town stands sadly in need of a modern hotel. In fa. t this ne I overtowers any and all other n. e i. at this time. For years Castonta has been notorious ainoiiL' the trav liner in. n for haviiiu the most in:d (miiki'o and pooie-t ho'el ae. o-nino-i'.,:ions for a town of its sie a:l i:r.!'or'ance in the Carol in as we tx ;e u i mi-Mit say. truthfully, in t'if .-"oe.Mi.

Kroi:i tl:. standpoint of business and the hiuh type of her business men. Castonia stands "away up in C." with the trawling men. but from the standpoint of hot. is they dislike us very much and as a result we get a black eye on the road everv day. I he tad am -en isi n k in' town pets on this score has hurt her no doubt to the extent of many thousands of dollars annually. T'p to the present time, while cer tain citizens have (onsidered the building of a modern hotel, the mat ter has just been allowed to dras alone. It is time to wake, up from our letharcic condition and build a botel. If the enterprise is not taken up bv individuals soon the business men of the city should form a stock company with a large number of stockholders and proceed to remove this blemish from Castonia's fair name. It could be easily done. Aim It would be a paying proposition. A few years ago when it was proposed to build a new hotel in Charlotte the owners of the principal old ho tels thought It would ruin their bus iness. The new hotel was built and still another was built and has since been enlarged a time or two. Now still another is to be built and they are all still in business. There is no doubt in our minds that a modern hotel in Gastonia would be a paying proposition from a financial stand point and it certainly would be worth incomputable dividends in the way of giving the town a fair name with the traveling public. Gentlemen, patriotic Castonians, It is up to us to begin to take this matter seriously. We must get out of the woods. We must swat the knocker with a brand new up-to-date hotel and thus silence the howl of derision which goes up against us daily wherever a group of travelers gather anywhere in this part of the country. Read Kurd's page ad today. Mr. K. D. McCullough has cepted a position with Mclean Brothers, grocers, and entered upon his pew duties yesterday.

The presentation speech was made by Mr. A. K. Woltz of the local bar who de lighted the audience by the happy manner in which he performed tlrb part of the program. Mr. S. S.

Elements in the extra session of eon gress are unusual. President Wilson has called the 'eat body together at time when Ins party nas absolute con trol of every branch of the govern ment relating to legislation. This has not been the ease before in twenty years Iniring that period of long ago w hen the democrats were In power President Cleveland called an extra session, but the conditions were vastly different from now. The extra session under I'resident Wilson is remarkable because the law makers to a large extent are men of comparatively recent rise to promi nence. Because of the fact' that the Democratic party Is providing a change from Republi'-i n rule for the first time in sixteen years great interest is cen tered upon the doings of congress. Virtually a new generation of legis lators has sprung up With but a very few exceptions there are no men who tigun-d in e-ongressional doings ol twenty years ago who are sharing the responsibilities of the body now Of only one thing has the public been ablutely certain, and that is that the tarifT would be first and foremost nrnon2 the subject. for work by the legislators, anil that revision elownwanl would be the purpose. The legislators themselves have not known just how the revision is to be managed, and i; has been well understood that they would not nil be pleased over ah the details of the ultimate change" The subject has been thrashed over so often and earnestly that its intricacies have become feared. The ways and mean committee, which has had the task of drafting the tentative form of the new tariff meas ure, has been unable to announce com pletiou of its work In advance of the extra session, but the probability is that the measure will be taken up schedule by schedule. The public has been led to expect that after the tariff is disposed of con gress will consider currency, the in come tax. Philippine Independence and the Panama tolls questions. Much publicity has been given to the proposKl national Income tax. The tax will probably apply only to incomes of over $.".KtO annually. Certain members of congress hold that this sort of levy would be confined to but a compara tively small proportion of the public and that the revenue would not be suf ficient. They arcrue that an inheritance tax should be added to Insure the need ed rereDue. in buviricr here i; ASF.KAM, S( I1F1H l.i: 11)1:5 GAS TON OOl'XTY l.FAGli:. s n i;iv, M w :n:n.
