Nichols, general manager of the Carolina & Northwestern Rail way, in the course of which that gentleman bemoans the recent act of the North Carolina Legis lature in reducing the passenger rate to a two-and-a-quarter-cent flat basis. He takes a yery pessimistic view of the situa tion and it cannot be gainsaid that there is good ground for the statement that the operation oi mis new rate law will work a hardship on the Carolina & Noithwestern as well as on other short lines. The trend of Mr. Nichols' statement may be epitomized in his assertion that "we are up against a hard proposition and one that we can hardly see light ahead in." This road which, by the way, is of great value to quite a large section of country and one we could ill afford to do without has had a struggle for existence and its fight for life, it would seem, will be more strenuous than ever. In recent years, according to Mr. Nichols, though the increase in the amount of business has grown rapidly and steadily it has been more than offset by the increase in cost of operation. Last year's increase in earnings over that of the previous year was $20,000 but during the same period the expense account in creased $32,000. The most regrettable fact stated by Mr. Nichols is that trains Nos. 7 and 8, extra pas sengers put on each summer to accommodate the heavy travel to the mountains, will not, be cause of the reduction in fares, be put on this summer. These trains are a great convenience and it is to be hoped that the managment will be able, before the summer season opens, to figure out that these trains can be run without entailing a loss and that they will be put on as usual. The Gazette is one of the papers that would like to have seen some provision inserted in the rate bill that would have enabled the short roads to at least keep on furnishing as good accommodations as they have in the past. In the case of the Carolina & Northwestern, how ever, it appears that the ctea tion of a flat rate of .two and a quarter cents is going to render it necessary for the road to cut its accommodations. Thai's the regret, but crying over spilt milk is of no use. Regrets avail nought now. ' , ' MB. N0LEN AGENT. A PROSPEROUS YEAR. iafiy Appointed to Socceed Nr. I. P. Caldwell as Afent for the Southern and C. N.-W. Railways at This Poinl-Tooli Charfe To-day Has Been ia . Railroad Service Twenty-Four Tears. Oastomans, and especia that portion representing the business interests of the town, will learn with pleasure that Mr. C. M. Nolen, at pres ent Southern Express agent and for eleven years depot agent here, was last night appointed to the Gastonia agency of the Southern and C. & N.-W. Railways to succeed Mr. I. P. Caldwell, resigned Mr. Nolen took charge of the local offices to-day. Having been in the railroad service in one capacity and another for twenty-tour years he is thoroughly equipped iu every respect for the position, which is not an easy one by any meansn view oi the immense amount of business transacted daily at this point by the rail roads, tot eleven years prior to April, 1905, Mr. Nolen was agent here and will again be familiar figure around the depot. He is a man of business ex perience and ability aud under his former administration the public had great satisfaction in its dealings with the railroads at this point. In talking to The Gazette re porter last night Mr. Nolen said that, having been out of the depot for two years, he will naturally be some days getting the hang of things and the in dulgence and co-operation of the business men will be great ly appreciated by him. His ap pointment gives universal satis faction. The railroad a has agreed to furnish one additional clerk to the present force. It is probable that Mr. Nolen will continue as local agent for the Southern Express Company, but will place an experienced man in actual charge of that work.

The Gastonia Insurance & Realty Company, one of Gas tonia's newer business institu tions, yesterday closed its first business year and the reports of the officers made a most excel lent showing. Besides ordering paid an annual dividend of six per cent, the stockholders, who met in the company's offices yes terday afternoon, passed to the surplus fund of the company 20 per cent. The stockholders also ordered a 50 percent increase in the capital stock, which is now $20,000. This will increase it to $30,000 and the extra $10, 000 stock will be issued to pres ent stockholders.

Measures Enacted by Eecent Gen e r a I Assembly. Pertaloinf Strictly to This County Game Law Revised Pay of Commis sioners Increased Other Acts. Below we give a resume of the legislation enacted by the recent General Assembly pertain ing to Gaston county aud to certaiu towns within the county. These are facts that will be of interest to all our readers, especially since this is the first time any thing like a complete list of ' the new acts has been presented. They are as follows: The corporate limits of the town of Belmont were made to ex tend two-thirds ot a mile in each direction from the point where the macadam road intersects the railroad. - Cherryville was authorized to increase the number of its com missioners from tnree to seven. Certain limitations on the power of the town to tax trades and professions were removed. Heretofore it had been limited to one-half the amouut levied by the State but, by the terms of this act, the town is empowered to collect the same tax collected by the State The town of East Kings Mountain was incorporated: the Lula and Cora Mills are included in this incorporation. A special school district was created including the Lula, Cora and Duling Mills. This act re moves the Duling Mill and cer tain other territory trom the Kings Mountain district. The county road law was so amended as to make it a mis demeanor to cut a ditch, so cul tivate land or otherwise turn water onto macadam roads at points other than where there are Culverts or drains. This act also forbids the use of ma cadam roads until they are opened for public travel by the superintendent of county roads, except in cases where it is neces sarv in crossing. It also re cm ires the owners of ferries to keep up the roads leading to fer ries to the high water mark. The road law was also amended so as to call for the location of public roads not nearer to the railroad than 300 feet, the ex ception to be made in cases of necessity at the discretion of the board of countv commissioners instead of at the discretion of the engineer as heretofore. A uniform eame law was en acted for the entire .county. The ooen season will begin on eluded ana win ena on jan 15tb, not included. This law supercedes the act which pre vented bunting at all for five years in Cherryville, Crowders Mountain and Gastonia town ships, which was enacted by the Legislature of two vearS ago. The salarv of the members of the county board v of com missioners was increased from $2 to $3 oer dav. The sheriff's commissions for collecting county, school, road and special taxes was fixed at three' per cent, effective after the expiration of the present term. Heretofore it has been five per cent up to $50,000 and two and a half per' cent on the excess of that amount. These taxes . have been . aggregating about $80,000.
