jpt the cityigathered in 'the- Armor last
night ior flie annual get-together mecl
ing and banquet at which the principal
speaker was Bishop U, V. W Darling
ton, of Huntington, W. -Va. A spleiolld
repast served by the ladies of the circles
of Main Street Methodist church; excel
lent music -by the orchestra and. several
short talks by local men were other fea
tures of. an occasion which was alto
gether the" most delightful and inspiring
in the Methodist annals of the ttfwn. Mr.
J. II. Separk acted as toast ntaster Jn
his usual happy, style. X
After the guests had partaken heartily
of the viands set before them, the toast
master called on Mr. M. F. Kirby, treas
urer of Main Street Methodist chuch,
to give something of the financial history
of the -church and to tell how the new
and novel plan of raising the church 's
budget -was. working. - Thin Mr. Kirby
did in a.Wat interesting' way. He gave
figures which showed a steady and rap
id development of the e hurch 'a finances
and described. how; the budget is being
raised this year r As has been mentioned
on previous occasions this church began
this conference year by doing away with
the passing of the collection plates and
substituted therefor boxes in the lob
bies in which voluntary contributions are
placed.
Mr. George W. . Wilson was the next
speaker , on the program and he made a
splendid talk on the relationship between
the young man and the church. He told
how the young man may be a force in
the organized church for carrying on the
great work of spreading the gospel. Mr.
Wilson's talk was a most forceful one
and he. was heard with intense interest.
The toastma8ter hen introduced one
of " Gastonia's most beloved Methodist
women, Mrs. B. P. Dixon, who briefly
but in a most interesting talk voiced the
sentiment of the women of the church
a4 to their desire and willingness to co
operate, in the great' forward' movements
the church is "putting through. ' " l" .
From 'the time he arose until he fin
ighed his talk Bishop Darlington kept
his hearers both amused and interested.
Referring to the urgent, invitation which
was" sent him to come to Gaatonia he
said he had supposed-that he waj being
summoned here to dedicate the new Main
Street Methodist church.' He laid great
stress on the new idea of stewardship.
"If the Methodist men6f Main, Street
church will agree to tithe"' said Bishop
fttfUiigto, "I'Vln guarantee to' build
a '.se Maio . ' Street '"'church, new
chorrhKn alrth? 'suburbs and(,hav
money; cftnTKf treasury . " ? The
Hpeaer ' interspresscd ' his ' address with
numerous illustrations whicli were both
apt and humorous. His entire talk was
of an inspirational character and will
no doubt lear abundant fruit in the shape
of reueweil activity in the Methodist con
gregationt of the city.

by the city council at itfc. regular session
Monday night. Presettf. were Mayor
Cherry and Coimcilmcii Wiaget, Ander
son, Hmyre and Clifford, and frity. Man
ager V. J. Alexander. l'v
The salaries of all the city officials
were raisetl, a subsidiary filter plant was
ordered, an ordinance concerning the is
suance of bonds for sewer, water and
liglrt extension was adopted, the quaran
tine on smallpox was, lifted, and a mass
of routine business disposed of. The re
port of Chief of Police J. E. Orr for the
year endig May 1," 1920 was received
aud contrasted with that of the previous
12 months. iThe rejwrt showed that for
the year from May 1918 -to May 1919.
the money collected in fines and costs by
the police dejiurtment was $6,858 . 78, and
the total number of arrests 827 .
For the 12 month-period ending May 1,
1920, there was collected in fine and
costs the sum of $15,375.30 and the num
ber of arrests was 1,815, or an increase
for the 12 months of $8,516.52 in fines
and costs and of 988 in number of ar
rests. The alwve report was heartily com
mended by the city council as evidencing
the activity and energy of the lice de
partment. ' On m-oinmendatiou of the mayor and
by a unanimous vote of the board, an in
crease in salaries of all the city officials
was declared as follows:
Judge of the municipal court front
$900 to $1,200 per year. ' Prosecuting at
torney from $720 to $1,000 per year.
Mayor from $600 to $700, Chief of
Police from $150 to $175 per month, po
licemen from $110 to $i:5 per month,
chief of the fire department from $90
to $125 per month, firemen from $90 to
$100, City clerk from $150 to $175, City
attorney from $25 to $50 per month,
tair collector from $100 to $125 per
month, sanitary oliceinan and ceme
tery keeper from $100 to $135, Sanitary
Policeman O. O. Craig from $100 to
$125 per month. "We can raise the
salary of everybody but ourselves,' '
jocularly remarked one of the council
men as the resolution was adopted.
"W are allowed by statute only $200
per year," he said, "and probably that's
about all we are worth," added another.
It was felt that owing to the rapidly
incrl-asing costs of living and the lucra
tive positions that both the firemen ami
policemen could obtain in other business
es 'that the small increases noted should
In made.
The board voted to buy an additional
wooden filter unit to tide the city over
the emergency existing, until the new
plant could be installed. There are three
wooden filters now iu oieration and the
addition of a fourth at a cost of $3,700,
it ia thought, will give, the city an ample
water supply.
The city manager Whs instructed to co
orte with the Loray Mill in install

A written agreement from the Citizens
National Bank tendering the city the
use of a ten-foot strip as an avenue of
access to the Southern and C. k N.-W.
tracks, with the added suggestion that
the city co-operate with the railroad in
constructing an underpass from Main
avenue to Falls street, was accepted con
ditioned on the materialization of pend
ing plans of the Citizens National Bank.
Mr. R. B. Babington, of the Pied
mont Telephone and .Telegraph Company
was present and stated that the company
had prepared an answer, or a re-audit
of its books, and that same Mould be pre
sented before the Corporation Commis
sion May 25. There was no action taken
by the board.
Dr. C. J. McCombs, city physician,
appeared before the board, recommend -,t
Ing that the ordinance requiring the
quarantine of all small -ox cases be re
pealed. In conjunction with other physi
cians of the city, he pointed out that the
quarantine laws are ineffective, and that
the city is at,a loss in feeding those
quarantined patients. He was of the
opinion that if the quarantine laws were
lifted, vaccination would be resorted to
more extensively. The board concurred
ia this matter, with Dr) McCombs aad
the ordinance was ordered repealed. The
city physician stated that he had an am
ple supply of vaccine on hand and was
ready to vaccinate the whole city'' if
necessary. It was pointed out, how
ever, that the epidemic of small-pox ia
the city, particularly ' in the Loray sec

New York This Morning
Wat Intimate of Hawthorne,
Emerson and Other Great
Literary Lights.
(By The Associated Tress.)
NEW .YORK, May 11. William Doan
Howells, the novelist, died here today.
At a dinner given in New York in
1912 to do honor to William Dean How
ells upon his 75th birthday, William
Howard Taft, then President of the Unit
ed States, lauded the guest as "the
greatest living Ameircau writer and nov
elist" He was the dean of American letters;
lx't, essayist, dramatist and editor, as
well as u weaver of fiction.
Beginning his first book, "Poems of
Two Friends," just before the CivU
war, Mr. Howells had completed and
published more than 71 volumes at the
time of his death, besides acting as edi
tor of various publications. Crossing the
oeenn 18 times in search of material for
his novels, and writing essays, criticisms
ami magazine articles.
Horn in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, in 1887,
he served his literary apprenticeship as
a composer, reporter and editor - en- his
father's newspaper.
"Inwardly 1 was a poet, " said tha
einnent novelist in reviewing-., his early
experiences, "with no wish to be any
thing else, unless in a moment of care-
rless affluence I might so far forget my
self as to be a novelist."
When 2'A years old he traveled to Bos
ton to make the acquaintance of Long
fellow, Hawthorne, Knu rson, Holmes and
Lowell. Though a hoy among musters,
he iMvainc their intimate, learning their
literary traditions and preserving many
of them throughout his long life.
At the age of 4 he was appointed by
President Lincoln as United Btatcs Con
sul nt Venice, lie combined his consular
duties with literary work, and produced
his celebrated book, "Venetian Life."
Four years later, in 1865, he came to
New York with his wife, who as blnior i
I. MVad, of Vermont, and whom
he had !
married in Paris in 1S62. For two years
he wrote editorials for The New York
Nation, The Times, and .The Tribune,
and then moved to Boston where ns as
sistant editor he Wgaii his association
with the Atlantic, Monthly, succeeding
Jumcx Kuaell Lowell as editor in 1872.
At the age" o' 44 he retired to devote
himself to his novels, which he produced
for many years at he rate of two a

When 50 years old Mr. Howells found
time to leeonie contributing editor, and
later writer for the "Editor's Easy

editor of The Cosmopolitan.
Dr. Howells he had received degrees
from Yale, Harvard, Oxford and Colum
bia universities though he had never at
tended college was . a keen student of
current events. He avowed his belief in
socialism.
"I cannot see," he declared, "that
the remedy for existing conditions lies
Umywhere else. But if it is to be a
remedy it must come Blown. Violent
revolutions do not permanently solv
these problems.
On the subject of, woman suffrage his
opinion was decided:
"It ia one of the most important de
velopments of this generation and one
of the most hopeful. The men have made
such a mess of things that If the womc
do not come to the . rescue I 'm sure I
don 't know what is to become of us. "

that ' the navy department had unneces

The secretary also charged that Elm -had
attempted in , his testimony to rob f.'
the navy of credit' for this project and to ' 1
give it to the British.
The plan was conceived, he said, ia. I i
the bureau of ordnance at the navy de- r -
partroent and urged on the British ad ',
miralty for six months before it was
cepted. During this time Admiral Sims
constantly discouraged and opposed tho V
idea, he added, and when Admiral Mayo ,
was sent abroad and finally convinced thi
admiralty of the worth of the scheme and
the necessity for adopting ' it j Admiral '
Sims, attempted to convey the. impre-; v
sion that the project had been t delayed
while the British attempted' to 'get the ,' : 1
American navy department's approval. '
"Admiral Sims attempted to rohi .
America and the United States' navy of '
the credit for initiating this great
achievement and to give you the impres- '
sion that it was "' British plai which'- J
