We are nuking great headway* cutUng big holes In oar stock, slashing things right and left* preparing to throw the doors of the big annex open some day In the near future with a big stock—but It's not to morrow we want to talk about—It’s the to-day— what we are doing to-day Is cutting out all small lots* or lots* piles* stacks* or cases that wlU be In the way of the contractors first. So lust to Illustrate what we are doing* the Mew Idea Pattern department Is occupying space to-day that will soon be turned Into a large arch-way; so to make quick work of this lot to each customer Saturday while the lot lasts you can take ONE FREE.

Come see what's doing st the leaders to-day. j Kindley Belk Bros* .. . .Company... . CHEAPEST STORE ON EARTH. Mail orders receive prompt attention. Samples sent on request. Why Not Gtrs the Pacta. WMUMtoo FMt Gen. Wood has entered an unqualified denial of the as sertion of Mr. Charles M. Dod son. formerly a correspondent of the Associated Press, that he paid Maximo Gomes a large sum of money to keep out of the race for the Presidency of Cuba. Gen. Wood said to an Interviewer in|Boston, Saturday night, that there was not a word of truth in the story, that "nothing of the sort was ever done." Needless to say that, so far as The Post is concerned, Gen. Wood's disclaimer is enough. Even if the statement in aucation were sustained by circumstantial evidence—which is not the case—Gen. Wood’s deliberate assertion would be final with us. ii appears, nowever, upon a careful perusal of Mr. Dodson's statement as telegraphed to The Post, that the allegation denied by Gen. Wood is not the only one or by any means the most Important in the list. On the contrary the assertion disposed of by the general seems to be a sort of afterthought tacked on to the end of the dispatch in two lines, while the rest of it is devoted to s matter of far greater significance, which ap parently has escaped the gen eral’s notice altogether. What Mr. Dodson says it that Gomes was paid $25,000 to keep his bushwhackers quiet daring 1899 rad 1900, so as to insure the Retmblican national campaign aninat embarrassments which might be troublesome if mat fatal. This is the real burden ot air. uooioa’i utterance, and to this we have had, thus fat at least, no word of protest or repudiation. We are told that Gomes was not paid to with draw in favor of Bttrada-Palms, but we felt pretty, sure of thet from the beginning. As to the question 0f real consequence— whether Gomes wea bribed to qam his cutthroats and ma »«*»■ b the interests of a Po] tb*l campaign in tha Uni ted States we an hit in i painful state of darkness. Now, for our part, we asauma that the govern me at’# policy in Cuba during the past three yean or so has been animated by the purest motives. No other aa sumptkm is possible to one who believes in the integrity of his country end the virtue of its in *ti tut ions. But surely it would be better to brush all these mys teries away and take the Ameri can people into confidence. No desirable end can be served by evasions and concealments. Gen. Wood declares that Gomes wss not bribed to make way for Bstrada-Palma. We were sure of that without hit word lor U. But what has this to do with the specific statement that Gomez was bribed to suppress his brig ands during our political cam paign in 1900? If a man be accused of assassinating three men and shooting a dog, ia it a valid defense if he proves that he didn't kill the dog? We do not, we cannot, imagine that the ad ministration baa anything to hide. As a matter of fact, we are confident that everything is as it should be. Bnt way not re move these questions from the province of speculation and sus picion? There seems to be no dopbt that Gomes has been paid large sums of money. We nave reason to believe that, between May 28, 1899, and February 23, 1900 he received $19,000. How mnch he haa had since, we have no means of knowing. But what harm can it do to tell the coun try why he was paid these rams, aad to explain the consideration upon which they were awarded? Card Waad la Catawba. N*wtoa RatnvrlM.

Attasu Co.xtr.tfcm, If anyone else was concerned 1 would not write this tick letter, but H may benefit others who are similarly .fleeted. I have been a very sick man and hardly expected to see my next birth dsy, which is to-day, the 15th. but I have scuffled through ana am now on the np grade. One of my far-away boys wired me to work on my stomach and I would get well. He might aa well have wired: "Keep on living and yon will keep living on." No it wasn’t the stomach. It was high np where the left ventricle of the heart had got walled np in and the trouble was what the doctor calls the angina pectoris, and my left arm was helpless. For two days and nights I suffered more erf real agony than I ever snflered in all my life. Onr doctor boy was here from Florida, and knew exactly what was the matter, and 1 took all his medicine, bat got little relief, and I was will ing to die to get out of pain. Finally he gave me morphine in both arms and I went off to sleep and rest. Those morphine dreams and visions are always a miracle to me. I thought that in his talk about my trouble he called it angeUna pectoris, for I don’t hear well now. and 1 got the refrain on my mind, that pretty verse from Uoldsniith’s * Hermit:" " lurs Angelina—ever daar— My charming turn to see, Thine own, thine long-lost William here. Restored to heaven and thee.* Ever and an os I could hear it raining on the tin roof, bnt it didn’t rain a drop. All night long 1 was murmuring "Tnrn, Angelina, ever dear.” I couldn’t atop it nor think of anything else to say, bnt I wasn't restored— next day I got some better and aa 1 hadn't taken any nourish ment for three or four days I craved something acid, and like a foolish boy eat a small piece of huckleberry pie for supper, which they told me not to do. That set the dogs to barking about midnight and set me back just where I bad been, and the doctor’s work all bad to be done over again. Emetics and hot baths and hot water bags and more morphine finally brought relief. That night alter supper the young people had the dining table cleared off and were play ing that pretty little childish game called ping pong or ding dong or sing song or Hong Kong, or some outlandish name with its tinkling balls, and so I got np another refrain and was murmuring ping pong, ding dong aud ding dong bell ail night. One of my bova, who is always punning, told his mother that huckleberry pie business was simply a case of too much pie-eaty, and they tried to make me smile, bnt they couldn’t. 1 was past all wit and humor and puns sad jokes. Bnt 1 am done with huckleberry cordial and huckleberry Finn and any other huckleberry. Only last Satur day my only brother died suddenly of heart failure away off from home. His time was not ont, for be was nearly twenty yean younger than I am, and now, alas! I have no brother, and he was always a good brother to me. But almost everybody is threatened with heart failure now, and so I am looking ont for it, bnt don't want It to come along the Angelina line. The heart is the moat wonderful and myste rious organ of our anatomy. It it called the seat of af iccuons, me aesiren, the emo tions. The organ of love and bate and joy, bnt it ia not. It la mentioned In the Bible more than six hundred time*, and al wxya In connection with our good or bad traits, but it has nothing to do with feeling or emotion or character. It ia noth ing bnt a fleshy, pulpy organism, s mechanical contrivance, ana has to be carefully nursed or It will rebel. It is the engine that drives the whole . anatomical machine. If overworked or overfed with ice or tobacco or anything else it will work on Wtbfnlly until it can’t work any longer then gets discouraged •nd dies suddenly at its post. The book says that bnt little was known to assdkal science con* tenting the heart until the eigh teenth century, and that within Our friends ate still kind enough to be sending us con* suntly new subscribers for the Twtat.A.WttK* Gawtth at one dollar a year. We do not ask them to work for us for nothing, hence we offer three handsome prizes during the month of June. They are worth working for. and as it is but little trouble to get subscribers for Tub Gazette (twicc-a-week for one dollar a year), are trust that they will see what they can do for the next four weeks. One dollar gets Thk Gazette a whole year; 50 cents six months; and 25 cents three months. Send the subscribers ss you get them, but if you do not send them before, bring them when you come to the 4th of July celebration. Here is what we offer: 1. Fof the largest club of new subscribers brought in by Jnly 5. we arill give ss s prize s $5 hammock or fountain pen at the Gastonia Book Store. the last fifty yean many books have been written, and now no part of the human system is bet ter understood or more satisfac torily treated. The called angina pectoris is de clared to be the most dangerous to which it is subject because of its distressing pain and a sense of impending death. If I had read that while I was suffering 1 should have surrendered, but the doctor wouldn't tell me nor let me read it. He says it is better to minify rather than magnify the apprehensions of his patients. Bot the young people ought to be' told, told often and earnestly, that they can’t fool with the heart. A boy who smokes cigarettes on tl>e sly ia storing up trouble that will surely come home aud sap bis manhood and shorten his life. This is so well known now that good men will not employ boys who smoke. One vice calls for another and a news manager told me the other day that one of his newsboys skipped some of his patrons every week so as to have a paper or two to sell and get money to buy cigarettes. Of course he discharged him. it is pleasant entertainment to listen to a doctor tell his varied experiences and this one uttered a truth the other day that ought to provoke serious thought In every parent's bosom. He says that his greatest foe in the treat ment of diseases of children is their disobedience to their parents and it is most generally the mother’s fanlt. 'They will do things and eat things that are forbidden, but alie loves the lit tle dears so much she overlooks their disobedience and so when they get sick they will not take the physician’s medicines with out force or a struggle and if the doctor is not there to force it the mother lets tha time pan rather than hear the screams or] cries of the child. Not half the parents enforce obedience from then-children. Prompt and will ing obedience should be the ftxst lesson taught a child. Their happiness depends upon it and so does the mother’s peace. We old-fashioned people have but little patience with a gen eration that is trying to reform the world with new methods— abolishing the ways of their forefathers—raising children on love insteed of discipline and filling all the schools in the land with athletic sports and intercollegiate contests. What honor, what manliness, is them in kicking s ball or batting one or wrestling or rowing a boat? These sports have gotten to be the most important part of the cnrricnlnm and fill the daily papers with pictures and tkrUi tng reports of the games. It is all an "ignis (stuns" that fools the hoys and makes them think they have acquired an edu cation. When they went to college their parents had fond hopes of them—when they come out that hope is gone, for they ere unfit for business or the duties of life. While I was half recovering from the morphine state I got to rimlnadag shout the vsTne of things end I compared good health and domestic happiness THREE DESIRABLE PREMIUMS — * ' ■ ■ ■ ■ 1 ■■ ■ ' ' ■ * ' . ^ More Prizes to be Awarded for Largest Lists of New Subscribers Brought in by July 5th. 2.

We have made the Saturday, July 5th, in order to give you the full week, includ ing the Fourth, to round up your work in. The awards will be announced in the paper of Tuesday following.

Mention it to your neighbor, get up a club by the fifth of July, and be first yourself when the prises are awarded. and the love and devotion of wife and children with and power and wealth and am bition and the very thought of them sickened me. I wouldn’t give a good shower of rain iust now for Roosevelt and all he has got or ever ex pects to be. But I love Roose velt because he hates Miles, and I love Miles becansc he hates Roosevelt and I despise them both—"Turn Angelina” —ping pong. And last of all came Satan. They are for war. They kill a thousand negroes to our one. They make a land desolate and call it pence. They have trampled the love of liberty in the dust and all for •on vi power ana place. A woman from Kansas City — me a paper with a speech of a Grand Army of the Republic orator on Decoration day in which be says that he wishes every confederate monument was buried in the bottomless ocean and other vindictive things, and she wants me to answer it. No, it is no use. That Grand Army of the Re public is full of such con temptible creatures and 1 can’t fmswcr them all. It is a stand ing curse to the peace of the land. Let the ball roll ou. Tare Angelina — ping pong, ding dong, ding dong bell, we sriu survive the wreck of matter and the crush of words. And so I went off to sleep murmuring, there is no Grand Army. It is a two for a nickle or four to one concern. If I couldn’t fight better than that I'd apologize and hide out. Some of them down here in Atlanta would like to make friends, but they have never apologised and the way they do reminds me of the old couplet: "I know that you sty that von love me, Bat why did yon kick me down stain?"
