The Gastonia Garettc.t benefit of these oI4 soldiers? ah ..KTuib excellent programme for the caacttc rbiihin Company, -j : i : 1 1 celebration oi the Le-Jack8on birthday anniversary to-morrow. The Gazette hopes that every old soldier in the county - Who cap possibly do so will be on hand to-taorrow morning at 10 o'clock to attend these exercises, The ladies have not been unmindful oTthe wants of the inner man and have provided for the . ; .. . t , CAMttirc VMSIIS FEES. nM a repast wmcn we j. I are sure they will enjoy, let all Attention is dcw? uircwicu uj . some ot tne &taie papers 10 me matter of the payment of State and county officers, the advan tages of the salary over the fee system being shown. This, it seems to us, is a matter of sufficient import to demand the interest of and investigation by all citizens. From time im memorial, or rather 'twere more correct perhaps to say since the formation of the commonwealth, State officers, or a part of them, and county officers have been paid for their services in fees. In recent years, however, a few counties, through special legis lation, have done away with the fee system and substituted a salary system instead. There seems to be plenty of evidence that the counties which have taken this step have been profited thereby. It is not our purpose to discuss here that phase of the question relating to the placing of State officers on a salaried basis. This we believe should be done and we take occasion in passing to endorse the sentiments expressed by The Raleigh News and Observer in a recent issue, when it says: TOE LEGISLATURE. 1 NOTICE. Every member of the J. D. Moore Chapter Children of the Confederacy is requested to be present at the celebration of Lee and Jackson's birthdays, which will be held in the Ma son's hall Saturday morning, Jan. 19, at 10 o'clock. Jennie Pegram, Sec. "The fee system should be cut up ; root and branch, and fixed sums paid public officials for the performance of public duty. No official's income should depend upon fees. This is particularly true of Solicitors, who are dependent for tbeir income upon convicting parties charged with crime. North Carolina has an ex cellent set of solicitors and there is little ground for complaint and de mand for salaried solicitors is based upon a sound principle and not upon abuse of their positions by our present solicitors, most of whom are conducting their offices in a manner above criticism." Reverting to the proposition to establish the salary system as it relates to county officers, it is interesting to note the case of Guilford county. The Legisla ture of two years ago enacted a law placing the officers in that county on a salary basis. This law went into effect Decem ber 1st, 1906, and the statement is made that, during the first month this law was in force, the sum of $700 was saved to the county. Taking ' this as an average month, this means a total annual saving to Guilford of $8,400 a year. Worth saving, isn't it? Just what the saving to Gaston would be, were the officers of - this county put on a salary basis, it is difficult to say and we would not venture to make a guess. We feel safe in asserting, how ever, that there would .be a saving and that the amount would assist materially in liqui dating the county's indebted ness. The fee system, it seems to us, would be fair to all concerned, to the county and to its officers. We would not undertake to say what the salaries should be. uoin xairness and economy should be looked to in fixing them. As The Raleigh News and Observer says: "Neither extravagance nor neggardliness should prevail." There is no reason, we believe, why Gaston county should not, by adopting the salary system, save money to itself, at the, same time paying all its officers just and fair salaries. . The business of the county is growing larger every year.' Isn't it lime that some serious consideration be given to this subject by Gaston coun Dope Laden Medicine. This is an age when papers are exposing dope laden medicines. It is dope here and dope there. and some say the nation is be coming dope-ridden. One phil- osopner says unless dope is stopped this will soon become a nation of imbeciles. Then why help this unhappy state of affairs? Why not use Gowan s Pneu monia Cure for Croups and Colds, and apply it externally and not make a drug fiend of your loved ones. Gowan's has stood the test. It will positively cure Pneumonia-and physicians recommend it and use it. Get a bottle to-day. It has cured its thousands and you should not be too late. Pneumonia, like time and tide, waits for no man, not even the doctor. Have a bottle of Gowon's in the house and laugh at pneumonia. Jlpl U. C's. Entertained. In compliment to the U. C Club, Dr. and Mrs. D. E. Mc Connell threw open the doors of their new home for the first time last evening from 8:30 to 11 o'clock.

Refreshments were daintily served in three courses salads, coffee and orange snow and cake. A feature of the occasion was de lightful music rendered by Mrs McConnell and several of the guests.

An ,enort on our part to catalogue even .the titles t these bills would be im possible. Below are mentioned a lew oi state-wiae importance: By Douglas of Wake, to reg ulate the sale ot soft drinks con taining "dope" of any kind. This, bill provoked quite an animated discussion in the house. . - A strict vagrancy bill has been introduced by Mr. Douglas. It provides that alt male persons over 16. able to work, and who have not some known means ot making an honest living shal be considered vagrants. The judiciary committee Mon day reported favorably on the resolution that any persons re' tained or employed for cnmpen sation to promote or oppose legislation shall register his name with the Secretary of State, stating the nature of his em olovment. with a brief descrip tion of the particular legislation he is employed to promote or oppose, together with the name of his employer. This bill was passed. Speaker Justice introduced bill prohibiting the issuance of transportation to newspapers without cash payment therefor. A fight was made by members of the State press association on this bill and it has been revised considerably, material conces sions being made. Representative Belton intro duced a bill increasing the amount of pensions to $500,000 Mr. Webb has introduced bill to fix the salaries of certain State officers and providing for assistant attorney general. This bill provides a salary of $6,000 for the Governor; $4,000 for the Treasurer; $4,000 for the Secre tary of State; $3,000 for the at torney eeneral. Yesterday the bill prohibiting the sale of whiskey at Morgan ton passed the house after s spirited contest. The Senate yesterday passed a bill introduced by Mason, of Gaston, requiring applicants for license to practice law to satisfy the Supreme Court justices of tneir goo6u.moral character. The bill provides that the court may go behind the statement of two attorneys, that the applicant is of good moral character and investigate the character- of the applicant. LOCAL AFFAIRS Rev. J. A.
