Mr. Thomas B. Smith, editor of The "Mountain Scout, published at Taylorsvllle, was a Gastonia visitor laat week, and in this week's issue of The Scout he gives hts impressions of Gaston's bustling manufacturing center: "In making a trip across several counties last week we failed to see a single place we would rather live in than Taylorsvllle. Perhaps the town that gave us the best impression was the hustling little 'city of Gastonia. There was an air of progress about the place that made us want to see Taylorsvllle wake up, get together, organize and tell the world of . the opportunities there are right here in Alexander county for our own folks and hundreds of others. With good roads being built into the town and land values increasing we sit still and wait for people to find out for them selves what our county has to offer In the way of climate, soil, churches, schools, good water, big apples and other advantages. We certainly should have a Board of Trade, Cham ber of Commerce or some organiza tion to advertise our town and 'coun ty. But the prevailing sentiment seems to be "let Bill do it."
