""BUM'S AESEST. Carernor Clenn Charges ' Libel Against Congressman from the ; EU&th and Will Erintf Sait- tlackbara Denies that lie Made Charges A Sensational IncI dent. . r. . - Spencer Blackburn. Republican congressman from the eighth district, is in the limelight again. Tuesday af ternoon's State papers proclaim ed in flaming headlines that he insti gation of Governor Glenn, the charge being libel. Wednesday it was stated that his arrest had been postponed but there seems no doubt that the Governor will take further action in the matter. When Solicitor Brooks went to arrest Mr. Blackburn in Greens boro Wednesday the latter de nied that he bad written the let ter containing the libelous state ments. On the strength of this Solicitor Brooks desisted, pend- ine further instructions. He in formed the Governor, over the phone, of the congressman's statements and the Governor re plied that, if Blackburn would make an affidavit covering bis statement that be had never made the charges referred- to and would publish the affidavit in the State papers and other papers which published the charges, the action for libel would be withdrawn. The letter which, Mr. Black burn 4s alleged to have written was published Sunday morning in The Charlotte Observer and other papers. The statements therein contained regarding Gov ernor Glenn and Congressman elect R. N. Hackett were highly sensational. They were made in substantiation of Blackburn's claim that be was defrauded of re-election in his district and were made to bolster up his ptoposed contest for Mr. Hack ett's seat. The letter is quite lengthy. It was charged that a conspiracy was formed with Governor Glenn, Mr. Hackett and the American Book Com pany as the interested parties. the aim being, it was alleged. 3 : LOCAL AFFAIRS V' Cotton is 10 to-dayp None has been offered for sale to-day on the local market. ; Gastonia Lodee No. 3C9 A. P. and .A'.' M. will do special work in its hall to-night. -Esquire John P. Davis has qualified as a magistrate and . is now ready to transact all busi ness of a justice of the peace. There will be preaching at the Loray school house Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, i con ducted by Rev; R. C. Anderson. The school at the Gray Mill will begin work Tuesday. Mrs. T. . Summerrow is to be teach er in charge, . . j. Mr. Bernard B. Smith, of Asheville, formerly of Gastonia, has accepted a .position with Jnq. P. Love, Inc., as cashier. Christmas trade id Gastonia was excellent, better than during any previous holiday season, say most of 9 the merchants., Many of the stores were overcrowded for days and the clerical forces were hard put to it " to wait : on all the customers. It had been a prosperous year in Gaston and the people entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion by purchasing gifts and articles for themselves. The Gastonia mer chants took care of the business admirably, As a portion of the week of prayer services in progress in all evangelical churches,, a love feast will be held at the Main Street Methodist J church to night at 7.15 o'clock, conducted by Rev; G. W. Callahan, Rev. W. h. C, Killian and Rev. J. J. C. Anders, v. Services will also be held "Saturday night. Sun day's services will be in keep- s-The Vermont Mills. Inc.. at ne with the. spirit of the week Bessemer City is bein enlarged. OI prayer. If Mr. E. Spencer Blackburn ever had any hopes that his contest of the election of Mr. Hackett wonld be successful, those hopes, it would seem, have scant foundation now. Por the past few days he has been play ing a fast and a furious game and a losing game, we believe. The charges he is alleged to h a ve made " against Governor Glenn and Mr. Hackett are so sensational and so improbable that no well-informed citizen , will give them credence. When approached by an officer who I that Governor Glenn should aid Good bv No had been ordered to arrest him he . denied having made the charges, though we have the word of Washington correspond ents that his press agent fur nished them copies of the letter along with the statement that Mr. Blackburn was sending the letter to Mr. Hackett. He es caped arrest but forthwith sur reptitiously departed from Greensboro, which looks bad for him to say the least. He evi dently believes in the old adage that "he who fights and runs away will live to ngnt anotner day." N5 ONE MILL A MONTH. Without having the statistics at band to prove the statement, we feel safe in asserting 'that Gaston- county holds the record at least in the State and we believe in the South in the matter of the number of new cotton mills projected during the year 1906. The number is just twelve a round dozen one for each month of the year. Of those chartered active work has begun on all save one (at Bes semer City) and at least one, possibly more, has been com pleted and put into 'operation. The aggregate capital stock of. these mills foots something. over $1,200,000, the exact figures not being available. Following is the list: Gastonia: Clara Mill. Flint Mill the American Book Company to secure b t a t e contracts, Mr. Hackett was to work for Gov ernor Glenn for the Senate and the American Book Company was to work for the defeat of Blackburn. Frauds and bribery in the recent election were charged, Blackburn claiming that at least 1,000 of bis follow ers were disfranchised by omis sion in transcribing the regis tration books. No event of recent days has eiicitea so mucn attention as this affair and the entire State is awaiting- the result with much interest. Mr. Blackburn, it is stated. took French leave from Greens boro at an early hour yesterday morning - going presumably to Washington. He unceremonious' ly canceled a number of bus mess engagements by so doing. Died Suddenly. Mrs. Hattie Hopper, wife of Mr. Plato D. Hopper, died suddenly Wednesday evening at b o'clock at her home near Dallas. She had been unwell for a month or more but her condition was not believed to be serious at all and the end came unexpectedly. Mr. Hopper is engaged in placing machinery in the new Monarch Mill. Deceased is survived by a bus band and several children. The funeral was conducted at the home yesterday afternoon by Rev. E. L. Bain and interment was made in Oakwood Cemetery here. Mrs. Hopper was a mem ber of the Methodist Church. The addition will be used as a card room. Rev. W. R. Minter. prin cipal of Westminster School, at Wildemere, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Lincolnton Presbyterian Church, Mr. A. S. Newton is open ing a grocery store in the Davis block in the room recently oc cupied by Mr. George Howell. On account of the south bound local freight train beine derailed this moraine at Lowell the main line was blocked for several hours. Emancipation Day, Janu ary 1st, was not celebrated by the negroes of Gastonia this year as it usually is. A few negroes from the country came to town expecting a demonstra tion of some kind but were dis appointed. -Marriage license has been granted to Mr. Ellis S. Robin son and Miss Mary Ozema Lineberger. Mr. Robinson is a son of Mr. Elam Robinson, who lives South of Gastonia. and Miss Lineberger is a daughter of Mr. William Lineberger, resid ing between Gastonia and Lowell 97. The fast Mr. H. T, Hudson, for the past six years chief clerk to State Auditor B. P. Dixon, has resigned that position to be come editor of The Cleveland Star, succeeding Mr. . Clyde R, Hoey, who will in the future, it is stated, devote his entire time to the practice of law. Thirteen charters "we re granted by the Secretary- of State Wednesday. - Two of these were for cotton mills. One was the Gem Yarn Mills, at Cornelius, capital $75,000, of wbich $22,800 has been sub scribed ; incorporators : Ji B. Cornelius and C. A. Sherrill. The other was the Pilot Cotton Mills Company with an au thorized capital stock of $500,000. The incorporators are W. H. Williams and others. A GASOLINE SCHOONER. ., t. .

It is the purpose of the company to enlarge the equip ment at some future time but for the present tbe original order for machinery will not be increased. w I have gotten only five or six new names to add to my roaster of Gaston county soldiers in the Confederate army," said Mr. L. M. Hoffman, of Dallas, to Tbe Gazette man yesterday. This is good evidence that this list, as it is now appearing in The Gazette, is almost as complete as it can possibly be gotten. When the publication of the list is com gleted the after-discovered names will be printed as an addendum, V-The overseers of the South ern Cotton Mills and the Ver mont Mills, Inc., presented Superintendent R F' Coble with a fine gold-beaded cane as a Christmas present. The pre sentation was made by Mr. S. J. Durham. Mr. Coble, who has been in charge of these two mills for some time, has also accepted the superintendency of the Whetstone Mills. Mr. Coble is one of the best cotton mill men in tbe State. He was formerly superintendant of tbeOdell Mills at Concord. . ' ; A new epoch iu coastwise shipping Is marked by the luuuching at Rockland, Me., a tew days ago of the four masted gasoline auxiliary schooner .Northland, owned by a Maine company, says a Bangor special dispatch to tbe New York Tribune. It is expected that, be sides, being a good sailer, the schooner can make six knots an hour with her gasoline motor in calm weather and make fair progress against head winds er tides.

There are also two smaller engines for generating electricity, located In the engine room with the main engine. The purposes of the Smaller engines are threefold. Thy will operate two elevators which will facilitate tbe handling of cargoes, they will furnish the power for lighting the schooner throughout and for the operation of a searchlight.
