Holly, March 24—Now that the weather has moderated and given us termers a chance to plow a tew day*, it makes us feel like penulng a few lines to the best paper in the State. Tub Gastonia Gazette. The price of cotton at 16 cents' seems to have put new life into every man that can have a move put on him, so that he is trying to do his full best. On almost every man's farm you can see great piles of all sorts of litter for composting, such as pine needles and lest mold, to aid in improving our land. This only naeds about 14 or 15 per cent of acids to pnt it in condition for distributing in the drill, which* makes it more beneficial than the regular am monia ted guanos, with less coat. And the home-made articles will last for more than one year, lOO. While the price of cotton is one of the greatest blessings we fanners have enjoyed for more than 20 years and has put new life into every enterprise, we ere not planting cotton alone. For one, we are determined not to depend on the West for corn to make cotton with, bat shall try to raise enough for borne nse and to spare. The writer sold a load of corn the other day right at the crib for 8S cents in the ear. Thla. is as good as 16-cent cotton, and make a man feel like Gaston is the right place to farm. Corn cotton, grata, clover, or anything else that can be grown on the farm can be raised right here at home. No uae looking toward the far West for better, for this is the garden spot of the world. Lately we have been clearing some heavy-timbered land; but we are happy to say we baye finished, for if we were not done we should have to stop anyhow,* since the woods are so foil of candidates we could not fiplsh for feat we would kill some of them. As they are all good men, we don’t want to do them any harm. Wa want to chock for aome of them and would say that Mr. G. R. Rhyne of Dallas and and Mi. A. J. Smith, of Belmont will get aome chocking done, aa they art both good solid men, •o better than the rest, but our choice. The editor of Thx Gazkttx la cordially invited to pay Bast Gait on a visit. With hest wishes I beg to remain your friend, ClOD Smashkh. [The editor of Thb Gaxkttb thanks Clod Smasher for lend ing in a new subscriber with the cash, and also for his kind invitation to visit Bast Gaston. The invitation will be accepted with much pleasure before long. There are no better or more neighborly people in the county than those of Bast Gaston. They have been good to Thx Gazkttx and it desires to serve them well. The latch string at this end of the line is always oo the outside to them.—Thb Ga xxrrx.l Why Won’t Smith Do? UdUn*seU« SotUbcI Why wouldn't Joseph P. Smith president of the Mormon Church, make a good running mate for Mr. Roosevelt? Smith is a Re fmblican, a leader of his party u his section of the country, and was a devoted supporter of the Republican presidential ticket four years ago. Furthermore Smith believes in tbc strenuous Ufa and is doing things his own way. But this is not all by any means. He is in perfect accord with Mr. Roosevelt’s celebrated denunciation of race suicide. He can point with pride to bis forty two children—twenty-one boys and twenty one girls. No face suicide goes with the Rev. Joe Smith. Isn’t the argument con clusive as to bis availability with respect to at least three es sentials—his Republicanism, his vigoeous strenuosity and bis be lief >iu a numerous progeny? Give Smith s show. Fairbanks doesn’t want the job anyhow. The Utah man could swing into Ijge a great many vote* that might shy at the Indiana Sena tor. These suggestions we be lieve to be. timely and they are offered for what they are worth. S9UTSEVT5 DOUBLE TtACK. Traims now MaUaf Schedule Tlau Ortr 47 Milas #1 U. Tbe Charlotte News of Tues day evening says that it lea mi from a prominent railroad man that trains on the Southern are now making schedule time over 47 mites of tbe double track, This section of the double track over which trains are run ning at the usual rate of speed is between Washington and Man assas. a distance of 34 miles and between Midland and Brandy, a distance of 14 miles. During the winter, trains run ning over the double track were limited to a very slow speed and in consequence both North and South bound trains have been most of the time off schedule. Saturday morning an order was iasned to trainmen, stating that tbe track was in good con dition and that tbe usual sched ule could now be maiotained over 27 miles of double track. The News’ informant also states that by tbe last of this week or the first of next, 20 miles more of the double track will be pot into regular service over which the regular schedules will be made. This covers the distance between Catletts and Culpeper. Oca. Wheeler Ealaya lattiaaeat VMkhiMhM. "I don’t know that I shall ev er care-to return to active politl cel life," said Gen.

"Some of my good friends won Id like to have me run for Congress again,” he continued, "bat I have not as yet obtained my own consent to re-enter pub lic service. I was elected to the House of Representatives ten times, and might have still been there had I not resigned to go into the army.” The General baa been travel ing a good bit of late, bat brings ap in Washington every little while.

CltrteB Km. 72imI At a very foil meeting of Mecklenburg Presbytery this morning at the First Presby terian church, the Presbytery declined to dissolve the pastoral relation existing between Rev. G. W. Belk and the Tenth Avenue Presbyterian cborcb. The church took action on Sun day at a congregational meeting, declining to unite with Mr. Belk in his request to Presbytery to sever his connection with this charge. Presbytery duly con sidered the matter and after bearing all parties unanimously decided that it would be for the best interests of the church for him to remain. At the same meeting of the Presbytery Rev. T. J. Allison re quested that the pastoral relation between himself and Sugar Creek church be dissolved, and the church concurring, this was done, that Mr. AlHson might ac cept the work of an evangelist to which the Presbyteir has re cently called him. No farther business of importance came be fore the body. Rev. J. A. Dor ritee acted as moderator. Hiccough Corel Mliatwlli Sntlnal.
