MAUNEY DAVIS BLOCK.5 TO 25 A Hickory Concern That is Nikiil tig Prefits. Monro* Jcamtl. A most interesting law suit was-disposed of last week at Newton, the county seat of Ca tawba county. It was brought by a citizen of that county against Mr. A. W. Heath, of Waxbaw. Mr. Heath owdi $5, 000 of atock in the Piedmont Wagon Company of Hickory. The atock bas grown to be ex ceedingly valuable owing to the remarkable success of the con cern. Last December, oue Mr. Martin, a man of Newton, came down to see if he couldn't pur chase Mr. Heath’s stock. He made certain representations to him and offered him $15,000 for bis block of stock, the face value of which was $5,000. The law suit grew out of this deal. Mr. Heath said that he told Mr. Martin to leave his offer, along with the drafts for payment, and if he decided to sell he would send the stock np in a days; if not he would return the drafts. Two days after he dia return them, with the state ment that he wouldn’t aell. Now Mr. Martin claims that he did make the purchase, sud on Mr. Heath’s refusal to deliver . the stock, be brought suit on a breach of contract. Ibe interesting things came along when the snit came up (or trial. List week Ur. Heath, with his attorneys, Rcdwln & Stacks, srent to Newton. On trial the testimony teemed about to develop the fact that Mr. Martin was really acting as no agent or at least as n partner of some of the directors of the company, who, knowing the rapidly increasing value of. the Mock, were anxious to secure . as much as possible of it. They alao testified that the stock was worth four to one, that is, that & Hfth’.fS.OOO i. now Worth $20,000. When tke snit seemed to be getting too warm, and Mr. Heath’s attorneys threat, ened to bring a suit charging conspiracy to defrand, the plaintiC withdrew his suit against Mr. Heatb, and, no to ■peak, "folded bis tent and stole silently awgy." * _ The season at Cleveland Raring*, will open Jane 10th.

Want Some One Elat la Vats Far. 9l«Ui»llk Landmark. j Teh Gastokia GazetteI is evidently looking for a caodic ate for Lieutenant Governor. A ter emphasising the importance of filling the office with a proper man, the Gazette suggests Major H. A. London, of Chat ham, or State Senator Brown, of Colnmbns county, for the posi tion. It doesn’t know that either of these gentlemen would be candidates, but it thinks they are fit and proper men, and in this Thk Gazette is right, as usual. There are two candidates in the field uow for Lieutenant Governor, hot it is assumed that The Gazette is not pleased with either of them, which is exabtly the situation of a good many other people. They want somebody else to vote 'for, and if The Gazrtle can get cither of the gentlemen it names to enter the race they will have support. In New Hanover county u few days ago Mrs. Sarah Clair. 78 years old, hesrd a pig squealing as if it was in trouble and went to its relief. She found the pig in the paws of a big bear. Mrs. Clair went to the house sod got a guo and ase. . Laying the gun on the fence but a snort distance from the bear she biased away. After surveying the lady for a moment the bear ran away. A few days afterward it was found dcid In the woods. The animal weighed 500 pounds. | iiwi MISS LOTTIE BLAKE LIBBAK1AH Fare has la* Committee Autbar Uad to lay Book* and Fix t«w R*4 Exceeding an Outlay •I SUM. The nine members of tbe board of directors of the Library Association were all present at tbe meeting in the Modena of fice last Saturday morning ap pointed especially for the elec tion of a Librarian. The vote wai taken by ballot and resulted in tbe election of Mus Lottie Blake, who received five votes on the first ballot. The choice of Miaa Blake was then made nnanimous. The purchasing of books and opening of the Library were next considered. It was estimated that the fund* on hand and in sight would justify the expendi ture of *1000 or *1,200 for books and fixtures. By motion the purchasing committee was au thorised to select, purchase and install books and fixtore* within the limit of *1,200 outlay. Fol lowing is the purchasing cotn a ttee: Dr. J. C.

A *U Thrifty Country—A Bint •f the Farming Paco Than— Plnaaiag Hospitality Gives Oaotania VUiton a Band Tima. **• Editor of Um OtwM Leaving Gaotoaia on Tocaday morning, the 3rd of May, in com* pony with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Whitesides, my brother, Mr. J.J. Harmon and I started on a long talked-of trip to Texas to virit another brother who haa lived there a long time. Mr. and Mra. Whitesides went to visit tbeir son at Waco. Our first stop was at Spartan burg. There we changed can for Asheville. Traveling over the Salnda mountain, we viewed some of the moat beautiful mountain scenery of any of our whole trip. After leaving Ashe ville we followed the Preach Broad rivet for a number of miles. Sometimes it looked as if we were in the river and some times beside it. We made a abort stop at Knoxville, Tenu., about dark Tuesday evening. It was here tbat Messrs. White sides and Hannon lost their coffee. We arrived in Chatta nooga after a short run. There we changed again for Memphis, arriving there at 8:20 Wednes day morning. Leaving there we crossed the Mississippi river and traveled over the great cot ton belt to Texarkana, arriving there at 11 o’clock p. m. We stopped at the Southern hotel, which by the way. is a nice place to atop. At 8:06 the next morning we resumed our journey ever the beautiful praric lands of Texas. a glim rax or tsxaa. The broad field* of waving corn, then two or three feet high, and the grassy plain stretching as far as the eye coaid teach, in any direction we might look, and dotted with beautiful wild nowera, was a pleasing sight for the eye, to say nothing of the sleek cattle, sheep, and horsea browsing on the abundant grass. At one place we saw several deer feeding in a pasture. This was the most beautiful part of our ride, and was mocb enjoyed by the; whole party. We were glad nevertheless, when our train rolled into Paris about 9 o’clock Thursday morning to know that we were at our jour ney's end, and to meet dear rel atives who were awaiting na. OUR DB3TWATIOK RBACHBD. We left Mr. and Mrs. White sides on the train, as they were going further, and were driven to my home. Here we spent the remainder of the day very pleasantly with bis family. On Saturday we were shown over the city of Paris, and saw the carnival that was show ing there that week. Sunday we went to church. A TgXAS FARM. Monday we were taken for a drive over our brother’s farm near Brookaton, about ten mites from Paris. He has 125 acres in cultivation, mostly in corn and cotton. The laud is black and very productive. We came buck by his grass farm of 85 seres. I told uiy brother that if I only bad bis grass farm, and could move it to Gastonia, 1 would have all 1 wanted of this world's voods. One afternoon we drove from Brookaton to Petty, a small town to see more corn and grass farms. Here I saw some ftae wheat. VISITINO ABOUND. We spent a day with my niece, Mrs. Hegger, at Reno. On the way wc saw more corn and cotton. On May 15 we bad blackberry pie, cabbage and beets, all fresh from the garden. We also bad full grown Inah po tatoes before that date. On the 18th we went to Win*boro. Wood county, to visit another niece, Mrs. Bgger. Hero we had a very pleasant stay of five days. My nephew. Rev. B- L. Bgger, is pastor of the Southern Methodist church at that place. His congregation is building a beautiful new cbnrcb, which when completed will he a credit to themselves and the town. Wc attended a meeting of the La dies’ Home Missionary Society wU)i my niece which we enjoyed very much. Alio attended a re ception given by Mrs. Morris at her beautiful boras for tba benefit of the society. About 100 guests were preeent, and quite a nice sum was realised. On Friday, tba 30th, we returned to Paris, stopping a few hours at Sulphur Springs, and also at Commerce, both being pretty little towns. / If our time had aot beer limited we would haee gone to Indian Tetritory to see another niece, and also my friend, Mr. Herndon. TOSNtWO ROMKWABD AGAIN. But it was now time to return home, and It was with reluctance we turned our facet away from the pleasant scenes we had been enjoying tbe past weeks. Kind nietsda and relative* made out may in Texas pleasant, my brother and bis wife giving thru whole time to our eatertalameot. We left Paris Thursday evening at 6:» o’clock, our train being three bouts late, and came by way of Texarkana. Bald Knob, Little Rock and Memphis, thence to Asheville sad States ville, N. C.. reaching Gastonia at 1:30 Saturday, May 29th. glad to be home again, and thankful to a kind Providence who kept os from harm. Mas. Lydla C. Davis. Pate* Begin North Carolina. Fnaklia Hiw, Jr.' ■■Wsltelq As nearly as we are able to ascertain, the insect appeared in North Carolina ia 1977, and from the writer’s observations be is led to believe that it prob ably first appeared in this state in tbe vicinity of Charlotte or Gastonia; in any event, it is certain that at tbe present time Mecklenburg and Gaston coon ties are among the greatest suf ferers. On the other hand, we are informed by Mr. J. B. Pin oer. of Bast Lake, Dare county, that in his vicinity it appeared m destructive numbers in 1901 lor the first time. It may be, therefore, that there are still some few localities where it has pot been firmly established, bat it is certainly present and very destructive throughout all tbe principal potato growing sec tions of the state. Jiumii Occtyy Daisy. Chutou* Otamr.JiML . Washington, May 31-Tbc Japanese legation to-day gave oat the following dispatch from the home government at Tokio, embodying a report from Gen. Oku as follows: "Gen. Oku, commanding the army operating against Port Arthur, reports that our troops occupied Dalny on May 90. Over 100 warehouses and bar racks, beside telegraph offices sad railway station were found uninjured. Over 200 railway cart are nnaable, but all small railway bridges In the neighbor hood are destroyed. All dock piers, except the great pier which was annk, remain nnIn jured. Some steam launches were also found sunk at tha month oi the dock." Mb of Neck Ssatility. FkiladelsMa Xacord. Students of social conditions in Great Britian are alarmed at the false pride which makes many young men prefer to be poorly paid clerks rather than well paid workingmen. That the desire for mode gentility ex uts. at least to a Halted extent, in this country also is shown by the eagerness with which youths who would be first-class mechan ics or able farmers rash bat half qualified Into the learned pro fessions. only to meet disaster. An attempt at mock gentility is the most pitiable thing in the world. It carries with its own punishment to the individual, but its more wide-reaching ef fects are to deprive the com* munity of efficient workingmen and to multiply useless members of society.
