&3 GAJSTCCTIA lA7..:i'12L TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, IMS. The Gastonia Gazetie TUESDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1915. ( '" ' GASTON'S LIQUOR DEPOT. Yorkrille Enquirer, 19th. Mention has already been made of the fact that the express office at ' Clover is the principal source of 11 qnor supply for a large portion of Gaston and other adjoining North Carolina counties, and it is unneces sary to say that the situation con tinues unchanged except for a steady increase in the volume of liquor handled. Under the statutes of North Caro lina It is unlawful to ship liquor into Gaston county in any quantity, and the liquor dealers up that way are reduced to quite serious straits in the autter of securing supplies. Be cause of the difficulties in the way some of the people have cut liquor oat entirely. Some others depend pon the occasional flask that can he brouught from dry territory by friends and then again others have more or less definite connections with a few remaining moonshiners. The great majority of the thirsty, aowever, have their liquor shipped to Clover and come after it in auto biles, or such other means of con Teyance as happens to be available. It la contrary to the law of North Carolina for anybody to have sealed packages of liquor in their posses sion In Gaston county. No one seems to make any especial effort to . enforce that law; but the people who come down from North Carolina are not Inclined to take unnecessary risks, and as evidencing this fact the four miles of highway between Clover and the North Carolina line are littered with discarded liquor cartons. The writer, who passed up that way last Saturday, counted twenty-seven such cartons within distance of about two miles. And in this connection the writer had quite a funny experience. In company with two other gentlemen he was on the way to Gastonia in an automobile. Just ahead was another car containing four people. The re gister tag showed that the car was from North Carolina, and It did not require the marvelous detective abll lty of a Sherlock Holmes to lead one op to a conclusion that there was gallon of whiskey aboard. Mr. J. C. Wallace, who was driv lng the car in which the writer was riding,- sniffed some fun and made as If to catch the car ahead. The . driver of the leading car put on more speed and held his lead. It was sug gested that those in front had begun to suspect that Mr. Wallace was one of a party of South Carolina officers, When the dust of the forward car be came disagreeable Mr. Wallace dropped behind. Then the front car slowed up, and the men threw out a gallon carton. Next it appeared that they were trying to draw a cork. Mr. Wallace put on-more speed and the other car did the same. The for ward car got away ahead and held its lead until it got well over he North Carolina line, when it stopped As Mr. Wallace's car swept past, the men In the other car were transfer ring the contents of a gallon Jug in to small bottles. All or them ap peared to be in a smiling humor; but they did not show up again. It is said that the coming of outo xnobiles from North Carolina to Clover Is a matter of daily occur ence and sometimes there are more than a dozen such automobiles in a single day. STIFF ADVERTISING BATES. Mail Order Houses Will Pay (12,000 a Page to Get Their Ads Out Bat local Merchants Think They Can't Afford a Few Dollars Worth In Their Local Papers. Monroe Journal. ' The Curtis Publishing Co. has an nounced new advertising rates for The Saturday Evening Post as fol lows: $8 a line, $5,000 for a full page; $6,000 for second or third cover in two colors; $7,500 for fourth cover in two colors; $10,000 ior center aouDie page in black, or $12,000 for center double page tn two colors. These rates are for one Issue. The other day, an exchange says, merchant said he couldn't afford to advertise in his home newspaper. If the man's view were distorted, we would see that he couldn't afford not to advertise. Refusing to advertise Is his most expensive extravagance. That same merchant will spend hours telling of the "unfair" com petition of the mail-order houses who are his most aggressive and dan gerous competitors, yet the methods A CONFESSION Dopes Her Statement, Made Public, will Help Other Women. HInei, Ala. "I must confess", says Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me a great deal of good. , Before I commenced using Cardui, I would spit up everything 1 ate. I had a tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was Irregular. I could hardly drag around, and would have severe headaches con tinuously. Since taking Cardui, I have entirely quit spitting; up what I eat. Everything seems to digest all right, and 1 have gained 10 pounds in weight." - If you are a victim of any of the numer- ous ills so common to your sex, it is wrong to suffer. For half a century, Cardui has been re lieving just such ills, as is proven by the thousands of letters, similar to the above, which pour into our office, year by year. Cardui is successful because it is com posed of ingredients which act specifically oa the womanly constitution, and helps build the weakened organs back to health and strength, . - Cardui has helped others; and win help you, too.

Brittain, Secretary employed by the mail-order houses which succeed are the very ones which the merchant refuses to use. The mall-order house first of all is an advertiser. Advertising is the life of its business. Every magazine that enters the small town and rural home carries the ad of the mail-order house. Expensive catalogs are printed showing the illustrations of the actual articles. Occasionally sheets are scattered broadcast over the country as a special "come-on for the bargain hunter. Instead of doing these same things in a smaller way through the columns of his lo cal paper, the merchant who can afford to advertise sits down and "cusses" his tough luck and wonders whv he can't get the business. He never thinks he has a better oppor tunity to reach the people in his neighborhood than the mail-order house has. It doesn't cost him as much as it does the outsider; he can draw the people to his store and show them the actual article he is advertising, and, when they buy, they can take their purchase home with them instead of having to wait ror several weeks for it. Advertising is an investment. It should be charged to vour selling cost. Figure what percentage you have to pay to adver Use. then base a fifty-two weeks campaign on the computation. You can't lose. You can't afford not to advertise. Boy Cast Off Problem is Discussed. Oakland, Cal., Oct. 13. "The state's part in dealing with the boy cast off by the community" was dis cussed before the American Prison Association here today by Guy C Hanna, superintendent of the Indi ana Boys School at rlainneia, ina He defended the reform school sys tem of dealing with youthful male incorrigibles, although acknowledg ing that many of these institutions had been productive of almost as much evil as good. Personal im morality he considered the greatest problem of the boys' correctional schools and he advocated careful watch of the inmates, segregation of negroes from whites and an abund ance of air, baths, work and whole some food as means of combatting this evil. "Much has been said of late years over the 'honor system . he contin ued. "The public usually has in mind that this means that an inmate has a chance to escape and doesn't do it. If this is the meaning of the system there is little to boast about. No management con conduct an instltu tlon out in the open country, con taining from 200 to 900 boys, with walls or fences or any other system The honor system from this stand point is not an adornment. It Is a necessity. I am willing to trust al most any inmate about the institu tion so far as escape is concerned. I am not willing to put him on his hon or not to commit, or give him a chance to commit, personal immor ality." Mr. Hanna said that the long hours, at low pay, which officers of correctional institutions are compell ed to work make it difficult for exec utives of such establishments to ob tain competent assistants of good character. He advocated shorter hours and better pay for these state employes. He also decried the tend ency to parole too many city bred boys to farmers. "The parole of an able bodied 18 year old boy to some farmer on a basis of board and A CLOGGED SYSTEM NEEDS ATTENTION. Are you bilious, dizzy and listless?

THE HIGHLANDER CASE. No Truth In Charge That Democrats Were Trying to Crush The High lander It's Indebtednem. Cleveland Star, 19th. It is unpleasant for The Star to have to discuss the affairs of The Highlander, but since that paper tries to create the impression that "certain influences high in local Democratic councils, made a deeper ate effort to close up the plant for keeps," it becomes necessary to state the facts which are to the contrary. Democrats as such had no idea whatever of doing the paper an in Justice, ihey simply tried to get their money from a defunct concern against which judgments have been standing for 14 months. The credl tors have been more than lenient with Editor DePriest. Democratic stockholders and creditors have lost everything and had they a desire to put the paper out of business, they could have done so months ago. L'n paid judgments are docketed in the office of the clerk of court for $74 2. 27 and in addition to this there is a $2,000 mortgage on the plant held by ten men who endorsed a joint note for this amount. This indebt edness is augmented by innumerable open accounts which the creditors never thought necessary to-reduce to judgment because they knew how heavily involved the company is Three months ago the Mergenthaler Linotype Co., of New York city, took back its machine from The High lander office, but we did not hear i howl of Democratic oppression then Two weeks ago execution was is sued on two judgments. Notice was served by the sheriff but on the promise that the money would be forthcoming, or a bond to secure same, these two creditors were len lent enough to wait. In the mean time "Editor DePriest forestalled their attempt" to get their money by having a receivership appointed. A levy - was made, however, before the receiver had. qualified and the shop was locked up for 18 hours ext day tnese two creditors were still more lenient by agreeing that the doors should be opened under the receivership and the paper con tinued to the saving of an expense to the defunct company. Yet in the face of all this, Editor DePriest says "they thought they had us but fell down." He says further, "it was spite to injure the paper." Truth about the matter it was simply the movement of honest creditors to get money which they were honestly due. There is no ground whatever for the charge that Democrats im posed on the paper. In addition to this, Editor De Priest is trying to get rid of all debts and Democratic stock and issue a straight Republican paper by the re ceivership process, a very ungrateful way to do people who have Invested THE COLDS OP MANKIND CURED BY PINES! Have you ever gone through a typ ical pine forest when you had a cold? What a vigorous impulse it sent! How you opened wide your lungs to take in those invigorating and mys terious qualities. Yes, Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey possesses those stim ulating qualities and overcomes hack ing coughs. The inner lining of the throat is strengthened in its attack against cold germs.

Under this pro cess none of the judgments can pos sibly be paid and it Is doubtful wnemer tne plant will make the mortgagees safe. We have no way of telling wheth er the paper will be continued or not and it matters little to us whether It runs as a Republican or Independent puDiicauon. Tne tact stands out mat me creditors will get little or nothing and Editor DePriest seems glad of it. AT THE LOOM OF LIFE. Joseph H. Marvell, in Philadelphia rumic xedger. We sit today at the loom of life, And weave, and weave, and weave, The warp is laid by Hand Divine. 13... . l . , "ui cci me wooi is wnere we grieve. For every moment of every day The shuttle flies through and through. The patterns we scheme. In the dreams we dream. Are made up of the things we do Smiles and tears; kind words and fears. Are wound on the bobbins we wind; And every thoughtless word is there; Every deed unkind; Every act we would fain forget; The thoughts that are dark and vain. We view them In the fabric of life, And Bee them again and again. We sit and weave with aching hearts, In a world of vast regret, And our tears fall fast, as we view the past, And we pray that we may forget. But out of repining and recoil, We look in the future and see That the pattern has not been woven in vain, For our lives are spread on a broad er plane. We know not the length of warp or woof; We know not our given span; But into each day's allotted task Let us put the best we can Of smiles, of kindness and patient care The unselfish efforts we've made--And blend them in colors surpassing fair, That the flight of years will not fade. And thus, at the end of our working day. When the shuttle falls from our nerveless hands, And the loom shall lie at rest. May we hear the voice of the Master say, "Take the rest, well won, for the work thou hast done. For 'twas done as thou thought best." MRS. GALTS FORTUNE. President's Fiancee Said to Be Worth More Than $250,000 and Has an Income Annually of More Than $30,000. Washington, Oct. 21. Mrs. Nor man Gait, who will be the bride of President Wilson, is the sole posses sor oi a ioriune estimated at more than $250,000. Her annual income for several years is declared to have been not less than S20.000. The will under which she inherit ed the property of her deceased hus band, Norman Gait, gave her the es tate unconditionally and without re strictions. An extract from this doc ument obtained from James Tanner, registrar of wills in the District of Columbia, is in part as follows: FACTS FOR SUFFERERS. Pain results from Injury or conges tion.

ADAMS DRUG COMPANY Tie Nyal Store "Get He Yellow Pickaje" .Phome "I give and bequeath to my belov ed wife, Edith Boiling Gait, all that I possess of both personal and real property." The will stipulated that Mrs. Gait should be the sole executor and made unnecessary the usual fees and bonds for proper administration. These facts were obtained t6 set at rest an unpleasant rumor current here and printed In one Virginia city. It was to the effect that .Norman Gait had stipulated by his last tes tament that If his wife remarriea, the estate should revert to other heirs. The information that the next White House bride will possess in her own right a fortune of a quarter of a million is interesting from an other angle.
