' When Mayor C. B. Armstrong called the new city council to order for its first regular business session Tuesday night all of the aldermen were in their places and there was a goodly number of citizens present as spectators and they remained un til the session was closed, the coun cil carrying out its pledge to hold open sessions. The first business taken up was the election of officers for the city for the ensuing two years. Alder derman V. E. Long was elected mayor pro tem. POLICE CHIEF CARROLL RE ELECTED. Chief of Police Wiley Carroll was unanimously re-elected, there being no other applicant for the position. His salary Is to he the same as. dur ing the past term. In addition to his duties as chief of police Mr. Car roll has also been city tax collector. This duty was again assigned tovhim until such time as the council may make other provision for this work. Later on in the session Chief Car roll was called on for a speech and responded by thanking the council for re-electing him and pledging himself to see that the law Is en forced. Patrolmen Hord, Brlmer, Adder holdt, Elliott and Conrad were all re-elected. T. N. Williams and C. T. Webb were applicants for posi tions on the police force but failed of election.

Along with the written report the secretary handea over to the mayor $14.81 in cash, balance on hand at the close of tne fiscal year, which was the signal for some witticisms which brought lortn laughter from the audience. "If there are any other boards or com mittees with reports to make like this," said the mayor, "we will gladly hear them now." The re port showed cash on hand at begin ning of the year 25 cents, received from the city $200, expended $185, 44, returned to city $14.81. The work and needs of the board were briefly discussed, the concensus of opinion among the aldermen seem ing to be that there is much charity work to be looked after and that the board ought to have more money. The Board of Associated Charities is composed of one member from each religious denomination in the city, recommended by the pastors or the several churches and appointed by the mayor. The -members of the new board will be named by the mayor at a future meeting. Secre tary Brlttain asked that he be re lieved of the duties of that position. "A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT." Alderman Elliott, of the third ward, asked the council to grant permission to Dan Perkie to conduct a restaurant without paying tne privilege tax, it being stated that he was afflicted and unable to do man ual labor.

Hustling Burg on the Catawba Keeping Pace With Other Live Gaston Towns To Vote on Bonds for Street and Sidewalk Improve ments' Municipal Election Com in P. & N. Opening Up Park To Name Postmaster by Primary, The Gazette man spent a short while in Mount Holly Wednesday and found plenty of evidence that this hustling little town on the banks of the beautiful Catawba has recently oecome Innoculated with the same germs of progressiveness which have caused Gastonia, Besse mer City, Belmont and Cherryvilie, other up-to-date Gaston towns, join the procession of busy towns which are forging ahead with municipal improvements. Her people are awakening to the fact that, In the present day, a town cannot stand still: it must either go backward or forward. A new charter for the town, se cured from the recent General As sembly, becomes efeetive July 1st and immediately thereafter a mu nicipal election will be held to choose a mayor and a board of al dermen. At the same time the vo ters will exoress their sentiments with reference to the issuing of bonds in the sum of $5,000 for tne purpose of constructing sidewalfs and fixing the streets in the central portion of the town. From what the reporter could learn there is no doubt about the outcome of the election; it will carry by a good majority, as It should. This, It is believed, will be only the beginning of permanent improvements whicn will mean great, things for Mount Hollv. According to the provisions of the new charter the owners of abutting property are to pay one-hair the cost of constructing sidewalks, which means that $10,000 will be spent for this purpose altogether. The regular munlclnal election takes place early In July and the "boys" are already talking candi dates to some extent. The present mayor Is Mr. I. B. Covington and the aldermen are Messrs. J. W. Hol land. Henry A. Rhyne. John D. Tucker and C. E. Hutchison. When the new charter becomes effective Julv 1st the town will te almost doubled In area and consid erably enlarged from a standpoint of population, the city limits being extended so ns to take In .the Wood lawn and Old Mount Holly Cotton Mills. The new $250,000 subsidia ry power plant of the Southern Power Company was not taken tn, though the city limits approach that property very closely. One of the things of which Mt. Hollyltes are especially proud is their public school. It Is one of the few county high schools in Gaston and is housed in a new, modern and commodious brick structure. The session of 1912-13 closed two weeks ago and the principal, Prof. Ray Funderburke, has been re elected for next year along with all five of his ladv assistants. Mt. Hol ly, together with some adjacent ter ritory forms a special school tax district. It wss ro intended that. this should be anvthing like an extended wrle-un of Mount Holly, hence de tails with reference to the town's excellent churches, her thriving mills, her up-to-date stores and her loyal and progressive citizenship are deferred to some future time when the Gazette hones to give Its reoders a full description of Mount Holly. At the present time interest tn Mount. Holly centers around the postoffice. Postmaster Jenkins term expired a year or more aeo and there are six active applicants for his position. They are Messrs. W. L. Tucker, R. P. Garner, W. B. Rut ledge, J. L. Miller, E. H. Daven port and J. A. Patterson. These gentlemen have agreed among them selves to Bubmit their claims to their fellow xitizens in a primary and Congressman Webb, who has the plum in his keeping, very read ily acquisced in the scheme. Sat urday, May 24th, has been set as the day on which this primary is to be held and only qualified voters will be allowed to participate. It is useless to add thai the candidates are busily engaged in presenting their respective claims on the posi tion to the voters. The office pays $1,200. It is altogether probable that thousands of peoDle will ret ac quainted with Mount Holly this sum mer who never before visited the town. The Piedmont & Nortbrn Is now opening up a park on the banks of the river which promises to he accepted as the one big popular playground for the people of Gaston and Mecklenburg counties during the hot weather. A large pavilion is now' being constructed near ' the river bank, walks are being laid off and grass plats planted. Mr. Wil liamson, who owns the boat landing, has purchased a large number or gasoline boats and boat riding on the Catawba promises to be one of the bit attractions of this park. The P. & N. round-trip rate from Gasto nia or Charlotte at night will be. 25 certs and this attractive low fare will induce, great numbers of town folk to seek rest and cooling breezes by' the river bank at Mount Hoiiy during the summer months. , This nark will be opened about the mid dle of June. - MUSIC CLUB WITH MISS GALLANT. Tho, regular monthly meeting of the Music Club will be held next Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock with Miss Pearl Gallant at her resi dence, 101 East Franklin avenue. I). A. It's. WITH MRS. ROBINSON.

Re freshments were served In three courses and subjects of interest bearing upon the welfare of the class were discussed informally. The principal talk was made by Prof. J. S. Wrav. superintendent of tne First Baptist church Sunday" school. who spoke of the excellent work be ing done by the class and the oppor tunities it has for dolngstill larger things. The evening was spent most delightfully and was a signal suc cess in that it brought the members of this large class closer together In a social way and stimulated their interest in the work they have in hand.

If Governor Sulzer, of New York, honors n requisition made on him by Governor Craig, of North Carolina, as he will in all probability do, Jail er G. R. Rhyne and Mr. M. A. Car penter will return in a day or two from New York city bringing witn them William Dunn, alias "Irish Jimmy", a noted yeggman wanted here for participating In robbing the safe of the McAden Mills at McAden ville eight years ago. Messrs. Rhyne and Carpenter left Gastonia Wednes day right armed with the requisi tion papers and anticipated no trouble !n securing their man from the New York authorities. 11 they got back with Dunn within the next two t three days he will probably l.e placed on trial at the May term cf Gaston Superior Court which con- f-nes Monday morning here. Dunn was captured in New Yont State by a special agent of the Post office Department, he being wanteG for blowing postoffice safes in differ eut sections of tho ountry. THL CRIME On Saturday night, March 4, 1905, the safe In the office of the McAden Mills, located then in the tower or the old mill building, was oioken open and $1,800 in currency and a lot ci valuable papers taken. Mill checks worth $1,200 were left un touched. The crime was not discov ered unti' Monday morning, March 6th, when Mr. R. H. Merrltt, the bookkeeper, opened the office to find tne safe founding open and papers scattered over the floor. Many monfha afterward some of the valu able papers, the property of Mr. R. R. Ray, were found under an old house In McAdenville. It was be- llevedthat the safe was opened by re peatedly nammerlng the handle witn a monkey wrench, which was found on the floor, or by working the com bination. It was not blown open. The same night the depot was brok en Into at Lowell, a mall sack ripped open and lifled and other articles taken Detectives were put on the Job at once and have now succeeded In landing one of the men after a lapse of eight years.

Eddy was a witness at this trial, being then In the Fed eral prison serving a long term for robbing the postoffice at Dunn. "Irish Jimmy" Is now to be brought to Justice.
