Oar town escaped longer than most pieces, and would be free from sack to-day if it hadn't been brought in from other pieces. However, there » some consolation In the fact that it wes brought in by the white people, and not by the colored nee» Moreover, the disease would never have spread so widely here, if the practlcialng physician* hadn't aaglscf d it so long. Bat ss soon as they found oat what the trouble was, they loot no time in trying to put it down. Now nearly every person with in the town lunits has been vacci nated. which b being cheerfully paid for by Mr. R. R. Ray, who has the interest of the people at heart. There is not a more healthful town in the county than this, and even^*-'—r pertaining to health is wmJ sifter and lcept in Older by the business men of the town. As for the sympathy of the Gattonia friend, we befieve sym pathy like charity ahoald be held out to suffering ones at home, aa we learned from Dr. Jenkins, of Dallas, that there afr twelve cases of small-pox in Gastonia at the time of this writing. Even the "one-family’' mill at Spencer Mtn.. has quarantined against us. Abo Lowell in all its grand eur communicates only by phone. Nevertheless we are au very cheerfal over the matter, and thev arc it McAdenville. Very few persons are out of the null on account of It, and business in general is ran with about as much force as ever. Tax Hem.. May 15. 1902. . fakmii. mauinr.Miu. nan It appears that the political pot is warning ap in Gaston coanbr, and the voters are east ing about foe suitable men to rapemaaul our county in the next legislature. A thought suggests itself to w that I believe wfll be of in terest to the majority of the voters of the county. *Tis this: weare entitled to three represen tadvea: a te tutor . and two legis lators. Let ns choose tee assn from each of the three leading interests of oar county. Ten years ago Gaston was away down at tha bottom of the list of counties, both In wealth and number of people. To-day it is one of the richest and very beat counties in this or any other •tat*. Of course the milling in terest accounts largely for the rapid increase in wealth and population, bat it isn't tbe only factor; the farming and mercan tile interests have hem abreast and aided very materially in the up-building of the county. Thus far, I have noticed only <me profession (Lawyers) men tioned in the different letters from different parts of tha coun ty. X have no fight Jto make against the lawyers, but they arc not the only folks who know how to maka laws and what our county needs; in fact, I believe if we had fewer lawyers as law makers, our taxes wotild not be so high, oar magistrates' would have more power end oar jails would not be so fall of criminals who are guilty of some trifling offense. I recall one case of a negro, who stole a 5c bottle of soda-water and was sent to jail to be boarded .for several months until the next term of coart. But ] am digress!ag. Let’s tend s farmer, jk mer chant and a manufacturer to tbe next legislature. It it fair, and good men can be had tp rep resent each of these interests. Fate Play. May 17, 1902. McADENVULE ifEMS. O I ig ■Inn of tk* Oimiii At this time, when our town U looked upon by our .neighbors1 as a hot bed of s very malignant disease, and the whole place is turned into a large!’ hospital with a morgue in the yard, and: when words of sympathy and cheer are very scarce, and when all kinds of ludicrous' tales are afloat, our people tu^n to Thk Gaxetts, where tt}ey have found kind words of sympathy for us in our ostracised condi tion. nr^ __u i!L. __i.s wvwns uav aw y WliUUUl drawing any one "over' the coals,” that this whole affair is very much misrepresented by people who have no other end In view than to tell ■ excitable tales. These wild reports are causing natold suffering among our neighbors, who ate ignorant of the true state of affairs and therefore are frightened to then wits, end. Many of these false reports make our people angry bat, upon reflection, they " consider the source” and let them go. * Well, about all have been vaccinated and we are doing all in oar power to stamp out the disease. It U a common thing to see people with their arms in slings, sore from vaccinati&n, and no one thinks of saying •good morning” but, instead of this greeting, they scy "how's your arm?” The mill is short of help at present as so man*, arms are •ore at once. If vaccihatkm is a preventive, and "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care,” then what may a ton of prevention be expected to do ? We reasonably look for small pox to make its exit, and "Rich ard will be himself again.” The newborn Infant of Mr. J. J. Coles died here Saturday and was buried at Bbenaaar Sunday. There was no preaching at the Methodist church as the pastor. Rev. R. M.

Attracts Mol* Madrid, lday 15.—The festi vities in connection with the coronation of the king are pro ceeding without a hitch. The weather today ia generally fair, with an occasional shower. The light rainfall, has no material effect on the merry makers, and the stream are crowded. The scene-‘in the streets is moat picturesque. All the buildings are elaborately hung with bunting, and this, added to the bright uniforms of soldiers and the dresses of the women makes the city a kaleid oscope of colors. Thera has been a heavy Influx of visitors from the provinces and abroad. Government of* wjW* **y there ate at present 70.000 strangers In the city, and others are trill coming. The football match held to day was attended by a vast con course. At noon the foreign am bassadors to the coronation were presented to King Alfonso. . Public interest to-day centers m the expected arrival of the foreign princes. The Dukes of Genoa and Oporto are already here. All the princes, both Spanish and foreign, will be tendered a grand banquet in the palace this evening. Agricultural Topics. To tk* Ml tor of tho OiMtu: Too deep cultivation is in jurious to com. The first culti vation should be rather de*p. The ground should be stirred as tittle as possible. Simply pulver ise the crust and kill the weeds. The roots oi corn extend laterally a few inches beneath the surface and . when the plow shiovela expose them or tear through them, injury is done to the growing plant. The object of cultivation should be kept in view. To establish and maintain soil mulch and to kill the weeds that would rob the corn plant of food and moisture. If a young man wants to be in dependent at 40, be most deny himself at 20, and save his earning*. He can’t "go out with the boys” and spend his money. A Gaston County lad at 17 went to work on a farm at $7 per month. In two years he saved $150, and married a nice sensible girl. To-day he is worth $8,000. "The first requisite in the suc cessful management of harvest is to have the best of machinery and to keep it in good order. If it is a new machine there will not be mnch bother, bnt if it has been run for several years jt should be overhauled. Have plenty of teams as well as nun force when harvest begins, so the work may be pushed rapidly. Buy the best twime. Harvest wheat early rather than late. Do not wait until the grain is fnlly ripe, if it can be avoided. The proper time is when the wheat is in the tough dough state just as the stalks begin to turn a golden yellow.” ine oest way to pot up a shock of wheat is to set up 10 sheaves in a compact form well braced at the bottom, heads leaning toward the center, butts well settled to the ground capped with two sheaves broken in the middle laid on in the form of a cross, ends well spread out. Time is valuable when harvest begins. Delay meant loss." R. D. Martin. TIKES SET COLD. 0m him Saja ha Havsr Saw a Batiar Jak This is a picture of the machine at R. C.
