eglnnlng next Tuesday morning
and continuing probably through
Friday the annual meeting of the
North Carolina Synod of the Presby
terian Church will be held in Gasto
nla, the convention being the guest
of the First Presbyterian church.
That there will be several hundred
delegates and visitors in attendance
is Indicated by the fact that already
nearly. 250 delegates have potifled
the committee that they will be here
and have been assigned homes. In
addition to the delegates and visit
ing ministers there will be a large
number of visiting Presbyterians
from nearby territory. It will be a
big week in Gastonla and the visi

ing them from the people of Gasto
nla. This is the first session of Syn
od to be held here in 17 years.
The opening sermon will be
preached Tuesday morning at II
o'clock by the Retiring Moderator,
Rev. R. P. Smith, of Asheville. Fol
lowing the sermon the roll will be
called and the new moderator and
other officers for the convention
chosen. So far as can be learned no
names have been mentioned as pos
sibilities for election as moderator
and who the new presiding officer
will be cannot be foretold. Rev. D.
I. Craig, of Reidsville, is stated
clerk of the Synod, this being a per
manent position. Rev. E. L. Siler is
permanent clerk and reporter.
On Tuesday night there will Jbe an
address on home mission work by
Rev. S. L. Morris, D. ., of Atlanta,
secretary of the Assembly's Home
Mission Board. During the week
there will be sermons and addresses
by the following: Rev. W. T. D.
Moss, D. D., pastor of the church at
Chapel Hill, who will probably
speak on the educational work of
the church; Rev. R. F. Campbell, D.
iD., of Asheville, who by the way was
moderator when Synod met in Gas
tonla seventeen years ago, who will
be present to extend greetings from
the new Synod of Appalachia and
give Aseville Presbytery's farewell to
the North Carolina Synod; Rev. H.
H. Sweets, D. D., of Louisville, Ky.,
secretary of educational and minis

D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., secretary
of the Foreign Mission Board; Dr.
W. J. Martin, president of Davidson
College; Dr. Walter Lingle, of Union
Theological Seminary, Richmond,
Va., and. perhaps others. From this
list it will be seen that the transac
tion of routine business will be in
terspersed with able sermons and
addresses by leaders in the denomi
nation. Preparatory to the convening of
Synod here the First Presbyterian
church has recently undergone nu
merous repairs on the interior. The
floors have been stained, new car
pets laid in the aisles and on the
pulpit platform, the pulpit furniture
re-upholstered and the interior wood
work painted. All this work has
tended to. enhance very considerably
the appearance of the interior of the
building.

during the fair with his Lakewood
aggregation of animals In which col

An Unusual Record.
Messrs. F. H. Hickok and C. Bach
man, of Philadelphia, representa

here yesterday on a visit of Inspection
to the plant of the Gaston County
Gas CompanyMr. Hlcok informed
The Gazette that the Gastonla plant,
which has been in operation only
one year this month, and which now
has 500 services, had the best re
cord for number of services installed
during first year of operation of any
plant In the country. Another plant
in this section, in a town consider
ably larger than Gastonla, has only
480 services, although it has been in
operation four years.
A Fine Advertising Medium.
Mention was made in the fair
notes in Tuesday's Gazette of one
farmer who sold some pigs at the
fair grounds at fancy prices because
he had them right where a pig ran
cler from a distance could see them
and examine them. Another instance
of the same nature has come to The
Gazette's attention. Mr. R. G. Ran
kin had some fine Berkshires on ex
hibition and sold several of them,
getting considerably more for them
no doubt than.be could have gotten
otherwise. Both of these instances
-and there were no doubt others
simply show that the county fair ra
a fine place for advertising what you
have. This is only one of the nu
merous advantages of exhibiting
first-class livestock and we expect
next year to see a very much larger
number of exhibits. .
Lecture By Miss Smith.
At the First Presbyter'an church
last night Miss Julia Smith, of Ashe
ville, a daughter of Rev. R. P.
Smith, former pastor of the church,
delivered a very interesting and en
tertaining lecture on the Home Mis
sion and educational work being
done at the mountain schools sup
ported by the Presbyterian churches
of this section. Miss Smith lectured
under the joint auspices of the Wo
man's Missionary Union of the First
Presbytery of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Church, which is in
session at Pisgah church and had in
vited Miss Smith to deliver an ad
dress, and the Woman's Missionary
Society of the First church. Miss
Smith spoke to the Missionary UdIod
at Pisgah yesterday afternoon. Her
lecture last night was illustrated
with stereopticon views of the moun
tain work In general and of tne
buildings and students of the Morri
son School for girls. In which Mis?
8mith is a teacher, the Maxwell
Home School for boys and the or

great pleasure and profit.
Is Still Carrying the Mails.
In the installment of "Gaston
Thirty-Fire Years Ago" published
In Tuesday's Gazette mention was
made of one Jim Falls, a negro who
was in 187$ engaged in carrying the
malls from the Gaatonla postofflce
to the trains. Jim's main fault, as
therein recorded, was In going to
sleep while waiting for the train and
often failing to get the pouches on
the mail car. Rural Letter Carrier
T. C. Smith, who carries Gastonla
route one, says that Jim is still liv
ing and is engaged In the Identical
occupation that was his forty, years
ago. He lives now, however, at Dai
las. Some weeks ago Mr. Smith was
at Dallas and heard the same thing
said about Jim that was recorded In
The Gazette thirty-five years ago.
Recently, at Dallas, he went to sleep
while waiting for the train. Awak
ing suddenly he rushed , out half
awake and threw the mail sacks
through an open box car, thinking It
was the mail car. Time -doesn't seem
to have worked any changes to speak
of In Jim's habits.
