TbU was tbe message which
came to Gastonia's mayor yes
terday. It will be welcome
new* to every Oasiouisn and all
are indulging tbe hope that it
will pass and that tbe town will
soon have a posioffice building.
Ths need of such a building has
long been felt. Tbe present
quarters are entirely Inadequate
aod tbe town has grown to that
l point where the government's
business is sufficiently large to
warrant a public building. Con
gressman Webb has bad this
bill In mind for tbe past two
years or more bnt did not in
troduce it in tbe last session of
Congress for the reason that tbe
large number of bills of this
class introduced rendered its
chances of passage slim. It
goes without saying that Mr.
Webb has tbe sincere thanks of
tbe entire town for his efforts
in its behalf.
It is practically assured, also,
that Gastonia will have next
year free city delivery of mail.
Tbe requirement for this is rh*r
tbe receipts of ths office amount
to $10,000 a year. Last year the
receipts fell short of this amount
only $400 and this year there la
every prospect that they will go
above tbe $10,000 mark, in
which case free, delivery will
