East Gaston, April lltb.—
Bast Gaston did not appear last
week, on account of not being
able to get news. When we
would approach a farmer be
would wave his hadd to ns to go
back, that they were too bnsy to
be bothered with candidates for
news but they have got two
good weeks work doue and feel
good, hence we can get news
now.
We were all sorry for the
death of ancle Davie Bddleman,
for be was a good man, with a
tender heart and was liked by all
that knew hitn.
Col. D. A. Lowe, of Lowes
ville, said that Lincoln county
has one man in it that has two
good eyes. But he is so Isty he
just keeps one of them open at a
time.
Open View Farm shipped
some fine Collies last week to
Belmont Farm, Smyrna, Ga.,
which is said to be the largeat
poultry farm in the South.
Said farm also shipped one to
Paul C. Scbenck, of Greensboro,
N. C., and one to Governor
Chss. B. Ay cock not long since.
We understand that the tele
phone business of this section
has changed hands. If so we
hope to get better service and
not have to ring n dozen times
before we can get central. Time
i« money and it is mighty an
noying to go to the phone and
ring all yoar arms are sore and
not get an answer and not know
when yon can get one, and have
to actually wait a day or two to
apeak to somebody on important
business. Yet ttbe collector
comes round once a month, col
lecting full fees, iust as if the
subscriber! had been treated
courteously. Is that the worst?
It seems not. iot now we are
told that the subscribers will
have to pay the same price for
use of phones in Gaston, and
that when they go beyond that,
an additional charge will be
made, if this is true we predict
a kick in our section.
We note that the people are
still guessing who Bast Gaston
is, but none of them have hit
the mark, and for their benefit
we want to say that we never
voted a political ticket in onr
connty yet nor can we for several
years to come nnless we violate
our conatitntional rights.
Onr rural mail system is not
proving out what we hoped it
would and if any system could
be of less benefit we don't want
it. This we state as the fact is.
but the carrier is not, in onr
opinion, to blame. It is, we
think, cansed by the horrible
way the railroad people handle
the mails from Charlotte to
Mount Holly.
We are sorry to note tbe death
of Ernest Rankin, the 16 year
old ton of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Rankin of Bast Gaston. Ernest
was a good boy and was liked by
all who knew him, he died last
Monday evening and was buried
at Snow Hill Methodist chnrcb
Tuesday.
It has been a long time since
we have seen Automobile Jordan
go np tbe road. Guess Mrs.
Nance has stopped him, as it
was she who sata "one or tother
had to atop," and we see her go
ing her way.
The candidates come in now
and again, but have unit riding
after the farmers in their fields,
as the ferinet s'Tife too busy to
give them any attention. Tbe
executive committee bee done a
wise thing in celling an early
primary sad convention. For at
(east 17 of tbe candidates and
their friends can toon go to
work at something more profit
able than banting votes.
Prof. R. B. Uneberger, of Gas
tonia formerly of Bast Gaston
cams over a few days ago and
spent about a week among his
friends, (who are many). Come
again, Professor, we are elweys
glad to see yon.
Hr. Char Warren, son oi me
old war horse, W. I. Warren, of
Lucia, had, are are sorry to say,
tha misfortune last week to lose
bis little two-year-old girl. The
mother had gone oat to milk the
‘ cow and before her return the
clothing of the little girl bad
caught Ire, and too much head
way bad the Are made when the
mother returned to save her.
8harif Armstrong has been
■can pretty frequently in these
parts of late, whether be Is after
delinquents or voters wa do not
know, but ha Is the moat con
tented caodidate we have seen,
sod says lor a certainty that ha
ia going to get there, and that
•Dm is doing now ia whooping

velt a fudge of the first instance

nent senators and representa
tives from all parts of the
country.
He will leave for his new field

Commenting on tbe dispatch,

ment. He has lived in Atlanta
for s number of years and is well

As an attorney Mi. Jenkins is
highly esteemed by tbe members
of tbe bar in Atlanta and it is
the general opinion of his as*
sociates that tbe government did
well in appointing him to the
judgeship in the Philippines.
It is only regretted that the
appointment will necessitate tbe
moving of Mr. Jenkins' family
sway from Atlanta.
Judge Jenkins is • son of the
late David A. Jenkina, and it
the third in a family of five sons,
of whom Mr. L. L. Jenkins,
president of the First National

9th.—Mr. and Mrs. Geo. M.
Howell visited Mrs. Howell's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B.
Morrow, near Cherryville, Sun
day.
Miss Lenoir Morrow has been
qolte ill with a light attack of
bronchitis, and at this writing is
somewhat better.
Miss Annie M. Ware visited
her father, Mr. E. Boyce Ware,
in Dallas lost week.
We are informed that Mr.
Ctias. W. Boyd has an option on
600 acres of Sooth Carolina soil
at, or near, Piedmont Springs,
and after this present crop is
marketed, he will rent out his
farm near the Loray to reliable
parties and remove thence.
Mr. C. W. Boyd appeared be
fore the Board of county Com
missioners st Dallas Friday and
bad the public road made on a
"bee-line from a point above J.
F. and C. A. Spencer’s rural
mail box to a point opposite
Union Grove M. B. Church, on
the Arlington or Bessemer public
road.
What are we folks at this end
of the line going to do about
reaching the county seat? Time
is money in ibis sge of electrici
ty? If we Pisgah folks can’t
reach the county seat handy by
railroad, then the county seat
should be loaded on a fist par
and brought to where we can
reach it.
Candidates are around "thick
as h#p»." We will support only
candidates who are agriculturists
and can manage a farm; but will
support any man for office who
gets two-thirds of the primaries,
whether he is a farmer or not.
Some miscreant wretch set
fire out on the mountain last
week. Persons who set fire out
in such a large body of woods
and destroy timber should be
made to work at hard labor on
the county roads for 20 years,
and maybe, perhaps learn a les
son.
Crowder's mountain covers
approximately 9,900 acres, or 15
square miles of Gsston.

I have given the Training Table

has depended upon the quality of

I use the Royal, for it is undoubt

Hyomei Can* Catarrh by hlmpla
BmttlH-J. If. Krmrfy * Co.
Roland Money If It rsNa ta Can.
A long stride toward solving
the mystery of curing catarrh
was taken with tlie discovery of
Hyomei. In fact, the percent
age of cures by this treatment
proves it equal to the final tests.
The folly of taking medicine
into the stomach to enre ca
tarrh of the nose, throat and
lungs, has been realized by phy
sicians, but not until Hyomei
was known, hod they a practical
method that wonld obviate stom
ach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit
costs but $1. and consists of
s neat pocket inhaler that
can be used anywhere with
out attracting Attention, a medicine
dropper and a Mottle of Hyomei.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler every pa rticle of air that enter*
the aosa,throat and luaga, is charged
With a healing balsam that soothes
and allays alflrritatioa. kills tbs ca
tarrhal genai and enriches the blood
with additional osone.
J. H. Kennedy & Co hare ao much
faith In the power of Hyomei to cut*
catarrh, that they are selling It under
tbeir personal guarantee to refund
the money if it does not give positive
relief.
