For.J, the iron contractt.r; Julian II. Down man; boildiirg inspector; Richard G. Fletcher, cement contractor and Donald M. Wallace, foreman for the building contractor. The court held the indictment defec tive and insufficient in that the ma terial and eseential facts forming the basis of the alleged -offense were not st out with reasonable certainty and the indictment is therefore too vsgue, in definite and uncertain. The indictment failed to show what act or acts of negligence were committed by each of the accused persons the eonrt decide.!. ' The theory of the indictment is that each of the five men undertook a gigan tic work and that each was required to know and to see that the others prop erty performed their portion of the task.

This young couple has our very best wishes1. The meeting continues through two more weeks. The congregation voted last night to rnn that much longer. The expenses of the meeting are already paid. There is nothing liefore us but what hope we give the evangelist. This will be an easy task for us. We raised all of the expense without very mucii trou ble.

C Anderson,, Former Gastonia Pastor; Had Big Hand In Designing" and Building' It. The following from the Presbyterian Standard will-be of interest in Gas tonia: The new auditorium, from a mater ial point of view, is the outstanding feature of interest at Mouireat. This auditorium, with a Renting capacity of r,MI!l, nnd which has been pronounced by competent" judges as one' ; than which none is more attractive from any vtewphinf throughout the South, and probably not excelled in any section of the United States, . has- been erected and equipped at a cost far less than that which is usually expended in build ing edifices of a similar nature, it hav ing been estimated that under mtnt conditions this auditorium could not have been erected for less than $250,. 000. ' From the time the ground was brok en for the placing, of the foundation for this attractive building. Rev.. R. t. Anderson, president . of the Moun tain Retreat Association, has given the closest personal supervision to every stage in the progress of the building, and to this fact is due to a largo de gree the reasonable cost at which the auditorium has been erected and the splendid quality of tlie work that bus been done in the building. The walls have been built of nntive stone brought from river and creek, beds not far dis tant from tlie building site, and, with the. exception of the huge steel suic ports and the roof material,, practically eyery thing used in the building of the auditorium was secured in Buncombe r.inntv! nnd the same is true of the builders of the auditorium. ' for all of these workmen are community men who hnve worked with conscientious inter est and with native pride in the build iug; and the plans were drawn by an Ashevillo architect. , There are nine doors through which admission to the auditorium may be gained, nnd six or seven aisles lead to the platform over a slightly inclined concrete floor of perfect quality, whih was made and placed by Montrent men There are 12 attractively arrnnged class rooms on the gallery floor of the auditorium nnd provision has been made; for the placing of the gallery, with a seating capacity of00, at any time that it becomes necessary. The alcove reserved for the organ is unique and adds .much to the artistic arrangement of the building. The acoustic projier ties of the auditorium have been- pro nounced perfect. It is probable thst visitors to Montreat will find nothing about the auditorium more enjoyable than tho seats, which are all that could be desired in point of comfort. Mr. Anderson gave a number, or help ful siurzestions when the plans were being drawn for the auditorium and the seats are the child or nis Dram entire ly, and it is safe to say that no single feature of the auditorium and its equipment exe.ells the seats, which are altogether unique in design and manu facture, the frame being formed of the strongest mountain woodCand the portable back and seat having a foun d.-ition of iron piping carefully woven with hickory splits, this weaving hav inir been done by the mountain people.
