We art unable at this writing to give the number of scholars but we have a large, healthy, and growi ug school. A great many of the McAdcn vfile Democrats are wearing Webb buttons and every one who was not fortunate enough to get ow before the supply wss ex hausted is envying bis neighbor who got in ahead of him. We have not the figures by us .at present but we can not think that the Democrats have gained in numbers Acre unless the pop ulation has increased, for there is no chance to increase as we are all Democrats and "true as steal to the magnet." Our people are getting new heaters and are having thegi put up. Wa rather think they are deeded at twuent Mafk ScSnWro who was working in the rock quarry near here, was blown up yesterday by an unexpected explosion.

Ratchford was stricken with paralysis and died at noon without having reguined consciousness. A physician was summoned at once and ar rived twenty minutes later but was unable to render the dying man any assistance. Mr. Rstchford was apparently in good health and had not previously been subject to para lytic strokes. Only 47 years o* •£*« be was capable of doing much hard work and was a sober industrious farmer. The funeral was conducted at 1 o clock Wednesday afternoon us the Presbyterian chnreb at Dallas by Rev. R. Z. Johuson, the Interment taking place in the cemetery of that church. A wife and nine sous survive in the immediate family. Of a large family of sons he was the first to depart this life. He was a good citiren, a loyal friend, and an industrious farmer, and his death is mourned by u large number of friends. Lock Item*. T> Ima Bdttcr of tM OmMUi Oct. 18th.—Yesterday’s rain has stopped the sowing of wheat and plowing for a few days. The cotton and peaa are now about all gathered and the farmers haven’t much else to do except pat in their wheat. Mr. Sid Kelly, who bad been staying at his uncle’s, Mr. J. A. H. Kelley, this summer, died last Monday night, the 20th, and was buried at Snow Hill Tues day. He had consumption. Miss Folsom Harwell, of Ca tawba connty, is visiting her sister, Mrs. R. L. Underwood. Mrs. Julia Cannon, of Char lotte, come over Saturday to visit her daughter, Mrs. W. T. Connell. She returned Sunday. Mr. C. D. Holland, Republi can candidate for the State Sen ate, made a speech at Lucia yes terday evening. About all the faithful were out and seemed to be much pleased with his speech. His speech wss temperate bat plain. He scored the Demo crats for their extravagance and mismanagement, saying that the State is now in debt $450,000 os the result, bat he failed to tell the ever faithful that most, if not all, this so called extrava gance and mismanagement was increased appropriations for pub lic education, and for Confeder ate soldiers, and for the Insane Asylums of the State. He at tacked the management of the Public Roads of the county but failed, so far as I can learn, to mve his remedy. Messrs. J. N. Hanna and U. L. Black, candi dates respectively for Sheriff and Register of Deeds, were present but didn’t speak. About all our people wh6 coulu do so have registered and we are now ready for the great battle next Tuesday. Prospects were never brighter for an over whelming victory but we are not going to sleep on our arms till after sunset election day. Let every Democrat in the connty constitute himself s special com mittee to give the Hon. Edwin Yates Webb the biggest majority ever given to any candidate in Gaston county. Let’s moke the claims of Col. Amos Owens a reality. We can do it. POLL-TAX MCEirrs. Most Bs Exhibited ea Election •if h Ntnat Liable Who iMb* te Vote.

Micfclsm, Nm The Who What When Min strels, presenting a meritorious performance, opened a week’s engagement at the Grand last night, to an audience that filled every available bit of space long before the rising of the curtain. The rapid-fire jokes of the com edians, the singing of the differ ent vocalists were received with shouts of laughter and applause, while the olio presented an array of clever artists seldom before equaled, and indications point to a week of record-breaking business. Mrs. Carrie Nation, hatchet less and harmless, but alive with enthusiasm, arrived in Asheville Wednesday afternoon. That night the spoke to a tremendous crowd in the court house. A dispatch says her visit created ten times as ranch excitement as the Advent of any politician dur ing the campaign. ?-l— l ULiU g-i-1_!_UJil Gastonia Markets. . cottok IffiwSS—-J* S«*~~^r=ru“5 Cotton Seed . 14 I’KOL CCB.
