FOR THE PAST* MONTH the contractors and masons and carpenters have been busy drawing the plans for the “annex'* and to-day we announce that all the contracts have been let and work will begin at once. In a day br two they, the contractors, will be right In our store working like beavers and calling for more room, they make no bones about telling us that they must have the room for the big archway, stairway and doing a hunered and one things that means we must crowd our stocks together or ran the risk of having them hurt by dust and dirt. What would you do In a case like that? You'd Ignore the worth of the goods and make prices to vacate the shelves, wouldn't you? That Is |ust what we are doing and by the time opening day rolls around there will not be an Inch |of anything left that we have now—price will do It. Whether you want to buy or not, you ought to come and aee what’s going on, and maybe after you are here you’ll want to save some dollars—you can lust as well as not. KINDLEY-BELK BROTHERS €0. CHEAPEST STORE ON EARTH. CAU rot STATE CONVENTION To the Democratic Voters of North Carolina: In pursuance of a resolution passed by the State Democratic Executive Committee, at its meeting in the city of Raleigh on thc25th day of March, 1952, notice is hereby given that the State Convention of said party vrill be held in the city of Greens boro on the 15th day of July, 1902.

Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agri cultural during Mr. Cleveland’s second term. Mr. Morton was a leading fanner of Nebraska. Percent [%] means, when ap plied to fertilizers, pounds per hundred, pounds in a hundred. That is, where a fertiliser is guaranteed 1#% nitrogen, it means that in every 100 lbs. of material there are lyi pounds of nitrogen. in uaston county tbe most J> reductive lends are the al nvials on tbe streams. The streams in these valleys are torrents in spring when the soil washes array and fertile fields are reined. The white willow, (Salit Albi] has a natural af finity for stream banks. Their shade is not intense and their root system is deep in the soil. Willows are easily planted and loss of bottom land can be pre vented by the use of willows npon the banks. As a retainer of stream banks the white wil low is the most efficient. The following paragraph is taken from the post office appropriation bill: "Whoever shall hereafter willfully or maliciously injure, tear down, or destroy any letter box es tablished by order of the Post Master general for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any Rural Free Delivery Route, or shall break open the same, willfully or maliciously Injure, deface or destroy mail matter deposited therein, or shall steal such matter from out of such latter box, or shall willfully aid or assist In any of tbe fore mentioned offence* shall be pun um«d by a fine of not more than 91,000 or imprisonment for not “«« than three years.” This lathe rural mail box law. There is a heavy fine and Imprisonment for iajnryto boxes on R. P. D. routes. The above, is merely intended as reference. On Jane 7th. I took ■ stroll down in the South Point sec tion in the interest of the V. 8. Department of Agriculture to look at the crops of that por tion of Gaston; and, incidentally to visit a Mist. Snmce it to say: I was gladly welcomed sad ac cepted, ana something’s going to happen down them. So yon’d beat watch tbaae columns A MOMENT AT TOE MODENA. Sana Interesting Things wa Saw—A Clean. WalMupl Mill. Nightfall one day last week found Thk Gazhtts man at the Modena store. Said Mr. Storey, the Assistant Superintendent of the mill. "Come, let me ahpw you that new dynamo yon wanted to ace.” We bad only a few minutes but we went with him to the engine room of Mill number 2. The little high speed engine was flying and the dynamo was "more than"—-all with the utmost smoothness and a minimum of noise. The driving wheel of the big engioe was carrying two belts which delivered power on two dif ferent floors. i uese oeita ere often charged with electricity. One of them was slightly charged ou this occasion. Hold the end of your finger about an inch from the surface of the belt and a stream of blue light will flow between them. The stream is compact near the finger and spreads out as it approaches the belt, just as water forced from a nozzle under strong pressure. While this electric stream is flowing, point the finger of your other hand at your companion’s cheek or nose, holding it not further than an inch away, and it will produce ou the the spot pointed at a stinging sensation like the sticking of needles. Mr. Storey says that occasionally a person comes along with some sort of peculiar endowment that won’t set the electrieity to going— can’t feel any effect ana can’t make the blue streak come— while others get the electric re sponse readily enough. we also took a peep into the boiler room, which, with the engine room, ia in charge of Tom Derr, a colored man. We went ont through another room containing twisters and warpers. Ail of these things are inter eating to the visitor, but tbe point which reached ont and snagged onr observation more than any other was the absolute neatness of tbe rooms. Take the engine room, for instance— we don’t believe there’s a kitchen in the county kept any cleaner. The neatness and orderliness observable every where produce a most pleasant impression on the visitor and proclaim alond the excellence of the management and the superior worth and good qualities of the mill help. Good Public luit. SaSoIk Herald. It seems hardly necessary to argue the advantages of good public roads to intelligent read ers, yet there is opposition. Re forms of all lduda have always met with obstacles. There was a time when a good many people opposed public schools; now they are considered a public ne cessity, and no one would do without them. The same could be said of pavements, water works and electric lights in our cities snd towns. Good public roads mean for the fanner less expense and more pleasure, better schools, better mail facilities, more church privileges, and, greater social advantages. They mean more business for the merchants, doc tors and commercial travelers, and the binding of neighbor hoods and towns closer together; they mean a large increase in land values, making our farmers wealthier, as well as contribu ting largely to their pleasure and happiness. We pity the farmer who has to haul nis produce ten or fifteen miles over a miry road. Wbal Do (ho Candidates Fsvsr? T» lh* IWtr of th» OuMlI It it not just that the voters should know bow each legisla tive candidate stands on the question, How are our roods to be worked in the future? The legislator is chosen to act not for himself but for his,constituents; and hia constituents, when he asks for their votes, are entitled to know whether or not they are going to get his vote on the matters in which they are in terested. Certainly there can be no reasonable objections to the candidate* coming oat and letting the people know where they stand or whet they propose to do. Voraa. June 14, 1902. MATTHS Of POLITICS.

Two very important classes of officers to be elected this fall should by no means be overlooked at the primaries. Of course one of these classes is the County Com tnlasioners, and the other is Justi ces of the Peace. On ths former the vote taken at the primaries will be carried up to the countv con vention. but in case of the Jus tices of the Peace, and constables also, the nominations are made by the townships. It is very impor tant that the several townships take diligent interest in select ing good men lor these offices. There are but five Justices in the conntv, we believe, who hold over. These are Jacob Kiser, (term expires April 1. 1907). W. 0. Hanelson, A. P. H. Rhyne, N. B. Kendrick, and M. D. Fri day, whose terms expire April 1, 1905. All other offices of Justice of the Peace are to be refilled by election in the fall. Each town ship is entitled to one constable. For Justices of the Peace each township is entitled to elect three men ana one extra for each town of 1000 population. By this ap portionment the numbers allowed are as follows: Dallas 3, Gastonia 4, South Point 4, River Bend 3, Cherry ville 4, Crowders Mountain 4. Elsewhere we print the Demo cratic Plan of Organization which is the law governing Dem erits in their choice of candi dates. Every working Demo crat should be familiar with its provisions and regulations. Un der this law of Democratic pro cedure as applied to the county, each precinct is entitld to send to the connty convention one delegate for every 25 and fraction of 13 votes cast for Governor at the last election. Below is the vote cast for Governor Aycock and the number of delegates each precinct is entitld to send to the countv convention: Bakers. 58 2 Belmont. 189 | Bessemer. no 5 Canslerf. 130 5 Carpenters, G7 3 Cherry ville. 229 9 Dallas.

Bach precinct may send os many delegates as it may see fit, bnt no matter how many it may send its voting strength in the convention may not exceed the number of votes indicated, and if only one delegate should at tend he can cast the entire strength of hit precinct. * NOTES. The candidates want yon to attend the primaries. Remember that the Congress man is among tbe candidates to be voted for at tbe primary. It lias been suggested that a polling book should be kept at each precinct and be forwarded to the county chairman along with the certified results, XaMfk M. • • New York June 14.—Santos Dumont, has made arrangements with the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company to conduct bis fly ing machine experiments in n plot of ground near the Brighton Beach hotel.

Alexandria, Va., Jane 14— Miu Mary Cnstis Lee. daughter of tte late Gea. Robert B. Lee, baa forfeited $5 collateral fad.: fault of appearance before Mayor Simpson, in the Police Coart, on the charge of violating the law providing for aepanaoa of white and colored passengers on railways. Mias Lee was taken into custody last night on a Washington and Alexandria electric car, after refusing to change her seat at the rear of the. car, the portion for colored people, to the front section. In deference to the position of the railroad company Mayor Simpson examined several witnesses. The mayor held that the evidence showed that the con duct or in causing Miss Lee’s arrest had strictly carried oat the law and would have been amenable to the law himself had he acted otherwise. Oar record of Southern cot ton-mill growth shows that the industry is experiencing an un precedented expansion. Two features of the recent develop ment deserve especial notice. One is the greater part of the new growth consists of the ex tension of existing mills rather than of new enterprise*, and the other Is that the Southern industry is turning out increas ing quantities of the finer yarns. It is evident that the South is not to be a manufacturer of coarse yarns and fabrics only. There is capital for new enter prises and the best machinery. Labor is acquiring experience, and the climate is found to be uot unsuitable for some of the finer yarns sod weaves. New England is not likely to be run out by Southern competition; the advantages are not wholly cm the Southern side. New England manufacturers are showing very much less nerv ousness about Southern com petition now than they did a few yean ago, when the South ern industry was small and was supposed to be permanently confined to the coarse counts. Nothing has been lieard for tome time about the movement of the New England cotton in dustry bodily to the Piedmont region. The scare is over, and tha cotton industry of New England and that of the South will alike grow and sustain the prosperity of their respective sections. It is not entirely irrelevant to observe that each section is getting along with no protection from the other, though the South has lower wages and longer hours, and New England baa age, ex perience and capital on its side. TlnEWhlki Philippine. Kuuh Cite Star (lad.) The war in the Philippines— if it may stiU he called a war— can have no inch formal ending as that which came to the conflict in Soath Africa. Among the Filipino* still remaining hostile to the authority of the United States there Is no person, nor group of persons, competent to speak for the Filipino* as a whole. All the influential leadens have been captured or have surrendered, and in cases of surrender have made terms ap plying merely to their respective forces. What remains is but a deslntory warfare, partaking the elements of The British war Secretary announced in the bonae of com mons that it is the intention of the government to appoint a small committee to institute a general inquiry into the South African war.
