ARCHITECTS ESTIMATE OF COST. *10.000.
A perfect gem of Architectural beauty, symmetry, and convenience. Sice 64x76 feet. On first-floor are
four maces 30x24 Beet and one 14x18, four vaults, lobby 34x36, with vestibules, hallways, &c.
On second floor are four offices 12x24, two 18x18, and one 13x18, and a court-room 46x30. Iu place of
having Ibuc small offices, the court-room could be enlarged to 50x64.
And the architect will guarantee that it can be built for $10,000. Mr. Eiaentraut is the architect whose
designs were accepted for the beautiful new A. R. P. Church at King's Mountain. What's the matter with
this court-bouse.
ASK TO XK. UH
Mr. It. 0. G. I.ot* will toU
“Against Memoval” on Augast 3rd.
Why?
SwatM ba Uiioka Gastonia ought
out to pay anything extra for tba oourt
bouao and that it aba will wait a abort
time the euort-bouss will come to
Gastonia without bar paying a cent
betide her portion of the county taxes
Mr. Lot# baa openly expressed these
senUmaaU—willing for tba court
house to come If the county will foot
l be Whole UU.
What do the tax-payers 1* so kindly
advised lust week think of that?
With fl(,000 Gastonia could build a
far better oourt-houee and tail than
the county now owns. If then the
oounty were to accept Ute donation it
would in no eenae bo a loser, bat
would be a gainer tm two respects. It
would be dlo.OUO better off in wealth
and would bays a batter court-house
at a county-seat much more convenient
for aourt-going people to reach.
Up to the time of going to proas no
rqoareym and no answer liaa been
made to the throe questions addressed
is last week's issue to Mr. K. L Wil
son. A communication in which ho
doses* answer them Is at hand. It
will appear in a subsequent issue. It
is omitted in this teene to make room
for wetter pertaining to the court
house question._
To win, tbs cause of removal most
be supported at ttie polls by a majority
of tbs qualified voters of the county.
A majority of all the registered voters
most vote foe removal or it fails,
Get ready tooomaoot 00 tbs 3rd of

To tUc IBkr of Ikt Oiattli:
I hare read carefully the disc unions
In yoar paper, pee and eon, on Ibe re
moval of Use court-homo and also on
the bond question.
1. I believe the voters of Uastoa
should think deliberately about this
matter, for Ibe time is not distant
wlma we will have oar public buildings
to repair or build anew. Now as Gas
tonia has guaranteed 913,000 toward
erecting new public buildings in ease
of removal, let us save the county this
815,000 by rmoinnp and ttrihlinp new.
I ssy Gastonia liss gusrantsed It, be
cause ear jury, I think, would consid
er them as bondsmen for that amount
or security for tbs same. Do yon
think that these men could afford to
give them solves sway by failing to
come up with tlielr money when called
for 1
1 'haven’t beard how much la wanted
to build—I confess that l know little
about the coat of erect log inch btifld
logo—but I don’t think we are asking
for #0,000- or 75,000- or lOO.OOO-dollar
buildings. It will be sufficient to pot
ap such aa will make aa look decent
and oomfortabis.
3. Gastonia la the center of trade
and at near tha center of the county aa
Uallaa With all doe reaped to out
neighbors there and my friends alao, I
beilave boeesUy that it would be for
tho good of our oouaty Id the future
and of a majority of bar oiliaana to
acoapt Gastonia’a proposition for re
moval. I think that we should vote
for removal at this Urns. Audi would
aoggest that Mr. a C. b.Loya. my
friend from our school boy days, ha
mada one of the building committee,
for there I* vonr little danger that one
of Me good judgment and economical
habits would spend the public money
extravagantly or uselessly. I am aa
much opposed to high taxes aa say mao,
hot think alao that this la tha time to
mors If wa would like to have lam

While Turn Qaxwttr has stood ap
for removal the bast It knew bow all
through this contest, it Itaa not de
nied the other aids a bearing, do for
from that, it baa provaa Itself to bo a
pager “of tha people, for the people,
aad by tba people’’ to the extant that
It baa published awn anU-eoert-bouse
