Mr. and Mrs. John Shandrow, oi South Haven, have adopted a whole orphan asylum, 22 boys and girls, some of them old enough to attend school. Shandrow has made more than a competence on his fruit farm and tried to aasnage a life long regret for children never born to him by writing to the Smith Foundling Hospital in Minneapolis, asking it to send him several children for a sum mer outing, with the privilege of adopting any of them. The management promptly forward ed the visible supply of children over three years of age. __u...a_ A PROFESSIONAL NUPTIAUST. The Riles ud lefulstians el Eeqatre W. 0. BaUca lalattog to Knata Tied “Across tbs Lint,1* la Sooth Carolina no marriage license is required of parties who desire to go to housekeeping on 0 basis of pure love. Hence, many North Carolina couples neST the border skip across the line either beknownst or unbe kuowst to the old folks, and are joined together by some kind and obliging magistrate or notary public of the Palmetto State. Some oflthese officers do a thrifty business, being at the command of their esteemed customers at all hours of the day or night. Among these is a magistrate just across the liue near Pinevillc, W. O. Dailes by name, who styles himself "a professional uuptialist’’ He advertises for business and has a most nnique professional card containing "A Matrimonial Psalm,'' and the Sqnire's terms, rules and regnla* tions. This cards he hangs out, hands out, sends out, and en closes with his correspondence. vnc oi mesc caras was recently enclosed in a letter to the Govern or of South Carolina, aud in the Fourth of July procession at Gastonia a few weeks ago an occupant of one of the carriages produced and read Esquire Bailes’c ard greatly to the merri ment of the company in that vehicle. This is the way the card runs: "Go to Squire Sailes to get married. "The greatest of all ambitious philanthropists and professional nuptialists. "Marriage Fees—to those that can’t pay more, $1.00: common fee, $2.00; secret service, $5.00; advertising price, $3.00; rich man's price, $10.00. "t'nDtea marriage certificates in different styles and sixes free. Have nobody but Squire Bailes. "It is more popular to be mar ried by him now a days than all the license you can get. Don’t be married at home; it is no en joyment. More people get mar ried in South Carolina (o iu population than any other state in the Union. "It is nothing unusual to see a half dozen couplet get married there any Snnday. Sunday is his biggest day and he is there fore always at home. He marries nearly 200 couples every year. "He is situated most conven iently, jnst across the state line 11 miles south of Charlotte, and one west of the Ville of Pine. Call and see me, I am not hard to find. My ceremony is easy but binding and treatment kina. 'Phone, hotel and livery accom modations.” "Here'a a sample verse from the psalm: 0 Hunter Sharp, of North Caro lina, has been appointed by the President as interpreter of the United States consnlatc at Robe Japan. BEAR F01 THE PRESIDENT. ■••••▼•It Will Hart a Cbancs at Benia II ka Accepts Senstar Pritchard's layftaUaa. AsfcerW* Ctttaa. 7th. Senator Pritchard has invited President Roosevelt to hunt bear with him in tha mountains of the Western part of this State. That there is both bear in the mountain and excitement and danger in the hunt is shown by tbe experience of Mask Reece, s famous hunter in the Blue Ridge, as recently related by the Way neaville Courier. Recce lives in a little cabin on the headwaters of the Pigeon river in Haywood connty. The little clearing in the forest is en tirely surrounded by towering mountains, and the fastnesses thereabouts are infested with block bear. Friday old Mark started oat with his three dogs to look for big game and soon tbe dogs rounded up an old black bear and three cubs nearly grown, all of whom took to the trees. ^Reece shot the old bear dead, aud as tbe carcass tumbled to the ground the cubs suited after their parent. Byyellingat the top of hi* voice Reece man aged to keep them up the tree for a time, bis object being to summon help and capture them alive. At last they came down and Reece shot the first one dead. Then he dropped his gun and when the second bear aligbted he threw his arms about bis neck, hoping to choke the bear into submission. Bnt bruin was big and strong. It threw Reece to the ground and ten upuo nun. Then ensued a terrible fight. Recce’s clothing was torn Into shreds, his flesh clawed and gashed and bis body covered, from head to foot with blood and dost. Finally the desperate man got a firm grip on the bear’s throat and clung to bis savage antagonist until nis grasp began to tell. The bear relaxed his attacks, his head dropped and he toppled over, his tongue hanging from his mouth, while Recce, nearly dead from lots of blood, scrambled to his feet and secured braiu with a rope. When he reached the settle* ment neighbors formed a party and, following bis trail to the scene of the conflict, returned with the trophies of his bloody battle—the old bear, the dead cub and the now thoroughly subdued 200 pound youngster.” "Tom” I^wton is going to act as Roosevelt's guide, and be says he'll get the third cub for the President if he wants it. Truth la This. CliaTlotU OUentr. All property should be forced to pay its full tribute to tbe gov crmnent, but when the tax. as sessor devotes more sttention to what industry and ability accom plish than to the property itself an injustice is committed and a premium placed upon bad man agement. There should be no loophole left for tbe tix-dodger. be he mill-owner or farmer, ana the laws should be so arranged and enforced that the authorities would have a complete oversight of assessments of one as the other. Unfortunately soch is not now the case in North Caro lina, and to this fact may be attributed, to some extent, the failure of the revenue law of the last General Assembly to raise sufficient funds to run the State government. . * WANTS TO BOtBOW MONEY. Bat Cuk Can't Da It Wltkat tha Conaant *f tha United State*. MUawlw. Tha Caban government, ac cording to Havana dispatches, is pneptnag to issue bonds to the amount of $33,000,000. One loan, of about$4,000. it is stated, will be applied to the aid of the auger producers and agricultural in dustries generally. The other loan is chiefly for the benefit of the Cuban soldiers who fought in the revolution against Spain— the so-called "Army of Libera tion." The sum ol $23,000,000 is designated in the bill passed by the Cuban Congress as the maximum amount to be devoted to this purpose. In addition, tbe indebtedness which the revolutionary government con tracted is to be paid ont of the proceeds of this bond issue. l>uring the last insurrection in the island the revolutionists maintained t junta in New York which contra ted debts to the amount of about $3,000,000. If the plans of the government of the republic arc carried out, this obligation will be dis charged. If Cuba were independent in the full sense of the word, there wonld be no question of the right of its government to issue as many bonds ss it could sell. But the United States, before giving Cabs the limited freed om which the people of the island now enjoy, assumed the right to coutrol the debt-making power or the Cuban government. This is specifically asserted .in the following clause in the Platt amendment—the bill pass ed by the United States -Con gress defining the conditions upon which the Cubans arc to have self-government: "The government of Cuba sliall not contract or assume auy public debt, to pay the interest upon which, and to make reasonable sinking fund provisions for the ultimate discharge of which the ordinary revenuei of the island, after defraying the current ex penses of the government, shall be inadequate." Before the Cuban government can negotiate a loan as large aa that which is contemplated, it may be necessary for it to secure the consent of the United States. That may seem to be a harsh aud unjust demand for this coun try to make on a weak and im poverished people who are in great needfof financial assistance. Cuba accepted qualified indepen dence, however, upon certain conditions, one of which was that the United States might ex ercise supervision over its finan ces. The time has passed for discussing the justice or the in justice of these conditions. The fact is that the United States has the right, and will probabhr ex ercise it, to veto any bond issue by Cuba which may seem to be unwarranted by the finances of the island. A debt of $35,000, 000, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent., would iuvolve an annnal interest charge of $1,750, 000. This would be exclusive of the sinking fund. Can Cuba bear such a harden in the present depressed condition of its chief industries? That ia the ques tion which the Congress of the United States may be called npon to decide early in the next ses stop. _ Subscribe to The Gastonia Gazette, twice a week, One Dollar a Year.

Among the attendants upon n barbecue and poll deal apeak ing in an adjoining county to tha one in which this city is located last Saturday was a fanner named H. A. Torrance, a Confederate veteran, who was during the civil war twice officially reported dead, and who was twice shot through the bead with minnfe balls, and yet who is now able to work on his farm, attend public gathering and do almost any thing elae that he wants to, with the exception of reading, his eyesight allowing him to write, but not read. Mr. Torrence, while fighting at Gettysburg, was shot squarely through the need, the ball pass ing through the right eye and going out the back of his ueck. He wu left for dead by Ins com rades, and he lay on the field amidst the thousands of dead bodies until next dsy, when he regminco consciousness. "When I came to myself," said the old soldier, M1 at first thought 1 was blind, but after working with ray left eye I man aged to see things around me, and 1 got to ray feet. I saw a few Yankees at a distance and they motioned me to come to them. I went and they took me to a hospital, where I remained until I was exchanged and able to go home. 1 had been reported dead, and my folks had worn mourning for me for six months when I walked in upon them.” After remaining at home for some time, and despite the fact that he had only one eye, Mr. Torrence yearned for the life of a soldier, and rejoined his regi ment. In the fighting around Richmond be was again shot in the head, the ball entering near where the former one had made its exit, and coming out through the right eye, in the same place where the first ball entered. Again the official report from his officers placed Mr. Tonence upon the list of the killed, and once more the folks at home mourned for him, and wore black, but, in dne time he re appeared among them and has been there ever since. In his section Mr. Torrence is known as a man whom Yankee lead could not kill, and his case is a remarkable instance of phy sical endurance. Stung to Death. vafkvui* tmm am. Mr. John L. Starr, of Bethea da township, had a fine mule stung so badly by bees that it died last week. A boy rode the mule over to a neighbor's house and thoughtlessly bitched it up near some bee hives. In a short while one stung the mule and he began to make things pretty lively, kicked over a hive, we believe. The' bees then made common cause against the mule. The animal swelled up terribly and suffered a great deal before death came at the end of three or four days and ended its misery._ Hew the Strike MU to Pasted. Wllatitcfcm Umapt.
