Cowards on ly are slackers The patriot can do as much in thia time of peace for his coun try as he could do in war. Let'a play lull I ALL AGREED. The universal opinion of all the busi- men interviewed by The Gazette is that business is picking up at a healthy rate. The only point on which they dif fer is as to the time when the pick-tip will be felt appreciably. Some say It will be felt by March or April. Others snore conservative put the date further along into the summer, while others, still snore careful and cautious say that it will be early fall before the mills are on a profitable basis again. However, on one point they are all greed, and that is, that the worst is over and that good times are on tho way. PROPOSED CHANGES. In the expensive campaign of road -touikling mapped out for the county of Gaston there is need for a directing head -of the county administration to lie on the job. The job is one that requires ' more time and attention from the county commissioners than has been given to it. There are also many other reasons why tho chairman of the heard of counfv com missioners should devote more time to ' the affai's of the c.nin'v. and be paid a : alary commensurate with the job. The liusine.v. of a i .imty is ! big. too com plex and :ir:,,! !n be i.and'e.l at a hur ried niee'ing cine a mnnth.

SITUATION WILL IMPROVE "We are looking f t fa.r l.n-,nes right along, tin. I heave that 'h:, s:ue has already started." n ma iked a market factor recently. "A m. nt of 'tie's kind today must be considered with due .respect to prevailing conditions. There li&J been some business in converted goods this week, in centers where it was .wrt possible to move any merchandise, a hort time ago. And this has been spreading, to some extent . Merehan 4iM stocks in jobbers hands are very mnxU, generally speaking, and orders for S, 10, 20 or more balea or eases are com iag in from all parts of the country. Thia situation will continue, and will un neation&bly show improvemenl I rec cgnise. that we are not yet through the 'rough spots. ' The credit situation is nr chief source of fear, and there is al ray the possibility of suffering from the effects of a big failure. Even rec ognizing this, I think we can look for steady business . " Every man interviewed by The Ga aetto within the past week looks for an arlrt restoration to nonnal conditions. Bome think it will be three months, tome six months before an equilibrium ia es tablished. All agree, however, that the tide is turning and that daylight is ahad . WHY PRICES ARE FALLING. For the past six years the I'nitel States, in relation to -Kumpe, has been in T (it- position of a retail m.ri iiatit factory town, where most ills are .-hnt di.wn. J-iich a men-hunt can do large business so h.ng an lie will sell on credit. lie can charge prices an 1 get them -in jrroiiiiwii tn pay. Hut there come n time when his working capital is tw inui'li tied u in this fashion, even though Ilia accounts are good, and then he finds it best to sell to cash customers only. t'VCii though he has to cut prices heavily in order to do so. We have, apparently, reached this statge in the United States, according to B. M. Aaderson, Jr.', I'h. I)., economist of the Chase National Bank, who ad vances it as the reason why prices are failling, in the Bulk-tin of the New York Credit Men's Association. Our export trade with Europe is rapidly shrinking, ami our speculators, who have had vi sion of unlimited demand at fabulous firiees, have come to realize they have over reached themselves ami that the' goods they bought at high prices to sell to Europe at still higher prices, must be sold at home, or ia cash paying foreign countries, outside of Europe, at lower price, states Mr. Anderson.

As the rubber band ap proiicliedthe limits of elasticity every ex tra inch it. was stretched meant an enormous increase in the tension. "The rubber band is contracting now. Kuropo's pull is growing weaker and we, consequently, need not pull so hard. The heaviest tension is being relieved and Bradstrect'a index number of com modity wholesale prices had fallen nftirly '25 per cent since last February. "The liquidation and readjustment which this involved are proceeding in or derly, disciplined fashion.

(TU- the Associated. Press.) 'WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 .Affidavits including a number made by negroes were presented by the Florida congres sional delegation today to the house cen sus committee in refutation of charges that negroes were wilfully prevented from voting in Florida. Tho charges were made beforo the committee last week by representatives of the National As sociation For the Advancement of Col ored People during consideration of the reapportionment bill. In answer to the charge of W. F. White, assistant secretary of the associa tion, that two negroes named Jones were whipped at Live Oak, G. W. Wanders John L. IIopps and W H. Robinson negro members of the republican cam paign committee ithere, in an affidavit said "no such occurrence has taken . lace in Live Oak or Huwanee county. The negroes here went to the polls ami voted and we were told by W. II. Lyie, sheriff of the county, that we would he protect ed in voting; that on the day of the gen eral election in November, as far as we know, nothing was said to the negroes, men or women, to try to keep them from Voting, and several hundred did vote in the county on that date. ' ' Continuing, the atlidavit said: " W have resided in Suwnneo county for some years; we have seen and participated in several general elect inns where the ne grues did not geneiallv vote, the gener al election in November was no different from previous elect a,, is, everything being quiet and orderly on t hat day ' ' An affidavit i-igm d l.y 1, eitiens nearly all of whom v., re said :,t he eoun ty "Hi. ers, .lecla n I t he in. ;,, ,, did not take place, .ami a l ied : polls were ci mi d.-d with m r and women, and they were not red w it ii in a ny v. a v .

S. Stevens, negro physician, bad been ordered to leave town. "Can produce Pr. Stevens' af fidavit that all reports concerning him are untrue," the telegram declared. Representative Clark announced he would present the affidavit of Dr. Ste vens to the committee when it reaches him . Representative Clark, of Florida, also presented a letter from Joseph H. Jones, state's attorney geyieral at Orlanda, rel ative to the Oconee riot. He said that following that affair he saw only three dead negriM and two dead whites at Ocoee. OjJe negro also, he said, was hanged at Orlando, making the total killed as the result of that affair four negroes and two whites. "I think it prJVble," he oaid, "that two other ne groes were killed. " . Mr. Jones said that 21 witnesses had bee" examwied liefore the grand jury as a result of the affair and he was sending those who didn't have sense, enough to ku.,w wiii-n they were licked.

The public morals board of the Methodist Kpiseopal Church announced today that it would inaugurate a campuign to "stop the con tempt nous treatment of the Protestant ministry by some cartoonists, writers and actors. ' ' "On "the stage and in motion pic tures," the board's announcement said, "the Protestant minister is seldom rep resented except as sn effeminate fool.
