Entire Present OallU Except Wiring to be Discarded—6es tenia Telephone Company will Ban the Belt Csanectiene from Mexico to Canada. There are 240 Bell telephones in the depot which are to be in stalled in Gastonia last as soon ss manager Babiugton can get to them. The Bell phones will be used throughout the system of the Gastonia Telephone Com pany, and in the exchanges at Clover, Dallas, Mt. Holly Stanley Creek, Lowell, McAdenvillc, and Belmont. A deal looking to this end has been pending ever since the Bell people left off their work at tlus place a few months ago. As wc iinderstsnd it the Gas tonia Telephone Company will lease the Bell phones and switch boards—reputed to be by far the moat perfect instruments of their kind in the world to-day— but will retain absolute control of their own property. They will establish exchanges and pay stations in every town in the county, and cover the rural dis tricts with metallic toll lines and thus bring all parts of the coun ty into direct inter-communica tion. The Bell company will not establish an exchauge here now. This arrangement assures to the patrons of the Gastonia Telephone Company but one phone system and that the best In the world, and the business community will not now be sub jected to the expense and annoy ance incident to the existence of two separate exchanges in the same territory. We are advised that this step has been taken after consultation with a number of the business houses of the town, who heartily approve of the change. Of course Kings Mountain and Bessemer City will have exactly the same superior equipment as Gastonia. The connections given will cover all points reached by the Bell company from Mexico to Canada, and it is the purpose of the company to reach all points that the business interests of Gaston county may require. As to rates, no official Infor mation has yet been given to the public. The probability is that business phones will be ad vanced from $2 to $2.50 per month, but uo advance will be made on residence service. Ont of-town toll-rates will be reduced wherever practicable; for in stance the rate to Charlotte now 20 cents, will probably be re duced to 15 cents. And as to other long distance points the best possible service to be se cured for their patrons will be given by the Gastonia Telephone Company. Wa Will Sand Tha G.i.ti. from now until January 1, 1903, for only 40 cents. Join the list of readers of Gaston County’s best and most popular news paper. ThkGazett*is one news paper in Gaston County whose circulation is growing greater and not less. "Heliness” Revival at Clover. The "holiness* revival at Clo ver closed Sunday night. Kevs. M. T.

The wagons were loaded the same afternoon and passed through Gastonia about dark on their way bock. A Daagarana Fire. Struck by lightning, the houses of Standard and Red C oil companies at Chester, S- C., were destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon. The warehouse of the Red C Company contained 2,800 gallons of oil in barrels. As they became hot they would burst and the spilled oil flowed away in fiery streams. The Standard Oil Company’s tanks contained 15,000 gallons of oil. The hast from the burning buildings canoed the man-bole covers to lift like a safety valve thus affording a relief from pressure, which prevented possible explosion. The pipes were almost Ted hot, the valves were leaking, the escaping oil fed the flames, and the escaping gas above the man-holes was on nte. Mr. J. Fleui Johnson, the travelling agent of the Standard Oil Company went to Chrster Saturday night, and had tha in extinguished by private eflorti. Tha city had no water to spare. Peering an explosion, most of the spectators viewed the con flagration from afar. VmtAHS’ 1EOMIOB. Good Attendance if Old Seldlen and Entertaining Speeches bj Major Dixon, Capt. Smith, and Ben. E. T.

The splendid characther ol the Confederate soldier and tb< fightiug pxowcsa of the anniei he composed, as compared with others in history, fanned the topic of an eloquent address by Major B. F.

Next year the re-union will be a general picnic for Veterans and their sons and daughters. THE BOOK CLUB. Msata EwtHwII-TIu Augast Mooting Bold Wednesday Alter* noon ol Mrs ft. L. Barham's.

Nineteen members have been enrolled, twenty being the limit of the membership. The object of the club is a study of English and American litera ture, authors and writers. Music also is a prominent feature of the club— both for pleasure and profit—and attention is riven to the lives and works of the great composers. The meetings are held once a month, and a carefully prepared program, consisting of select readings, recitations, written pa pers, vocal and instrumental music, and a short discussion of current topics, is rendered. While little prominence is given to the social feature of the club still that, too, because of the congeniality of its members, is particularly pleasant.
