FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1907.
The Raleigh Evening Times
did itself prond Monday by
sending oat a very attractive
36-page industrial edition.
Raleigh and its environs art
shown up in a pleasing manner,
the paper being profusely
illustrated throughout. Con
gratulations to The Times on
this exhibition of push and enterprise.
The Charlotte papers now
have some more grist for their
editorial mills. ' Some cold
blooded, hard-hearted, norrow
minded, unreasoning fellah has
gone and writ a book to prove
that the Mecklenburg Delara
of Independence is not the
genu-ine article. When Brother
Caldwell and Brother Wade
Harris get through with this
villainous gent he'll look like
thirty cents, we bet.
some places and Have, groiyn
pretty shaky on" ' othersr,-Mr,
Taft, you know, is a prospec
tive candidate for the presidency,
presumably the candidate of the
administration. Mr. Hitchcock,
by the way, by reason of his
position as first assistant post
master general, has in his
hands the disposition of the
majority of chunks of Federal
pie little hunks they are, in the
shape of fourth-class postoffices
so he is chosen as 4tribbest
man to square Mr. Taft with
Southern Republicans. He is
described as a smooth politician
but he will need all of his
shrewdness if he accomplishes
tne desired results. lie Has a
pretty big job on his hands.
Soon the college graduate
he who knows it all wili be
giving the statesmen, and all
the rest of us for that matter,
floods of advice, put up in pretty
packages of oratory, as to how
to run the government and
everything else. It won't hurt,
sonny. We're used to big an
nual doses of it and somehow
don't feel like summer's really
here until we've taken it. It
won't hurt us and it will do you
good. You'll recover after
while and so will we.
Masquerade Party.

Duff's skating rink. The patty

young couples present and the

most pleasant one. The skating

A conference between Mr. W.
L. Hall, in charge of the Ap
palachian and White Mountain
Forest Reserve Survey, and a
number, of influential business
men is being held at Asheville
this week to discuss plans and
prospects fori the proposed sur
vey. Mr. Hall left Washington
Thursday for Asheville. Before
leaving the capital, which he
had just reached from Boston
where he had been in attendance
on a combined meeting of a
number of clubs and associations
interested in the work of forestry
preservation, he told the Wash
ington correspondent of The
Charlotte Observer that the
movement i s rapidly gaining
ground. The South, he says, is
rapidly awakening to the vast im
portance of the movement. New
England, he added, is already
unanimous in its favor. This is
indeed a matter of vital import to
the South and the sooner our
people are brought to a realiza
tion of the fact the less cause
will the coming generations of
people in this country have for
regret a t our stupidity. The
ruthless commercialism that is
denuding our forests with no
thought of economy and scarcely
a care as to the ill consequences
to be suffered in the future as a
result thereof, stands as a crying
ndicttnent against an age and a
people who can see nothing but
the dollars their hands can
reach.
Prof. Noble to Deliver Address.
Prof. M. C. S. Noblt. of tbe
chair of pedagogy at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, has
accepted an invitation to deliver
the annual commencement ad
dress at tbe closing of the city
graded schools May 27th. Prof.
JNoble is a teacner ol even more
than State-wide reputation and
Superintendent Wray was suc
cessful in that he was able to j
secure for this occasion such a
speaker. The commencement
exercises will take place Monday
nignt, May ita, in tne opera
house. The annual sermon be
fore the students will be preached
Sunday,the26th in Main Street
Methodist church by Rev. H. L.

GUARANTEE? Stomach REMEDY
You may ask why J. HftJCen-
nedy & Co. are able to guaran
tee to refund the money unless
Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets cure
when no other remedy for stom
acb troubles is sold in this
manner.
If "the stomach is only given a
rest by using a digestive, the
muscles soon become weak, and
it is necessary to continue tak
ing a digestive tablet after every
meal. On the other hand, Mt-
o-ua used before eatiug,strength
eus the stomach so that you will
soon be well enough to give up
tbe use of medicine.
Mi-o-na costs but 50c a box,
and makes positive and com
plete cures. The best proof of
its merits is the guarantee to re
fund the money if it does not
cure that J. H. Kennedy & Co.
give with every box.

SMALLPOX ATCR0USE.
Zach McGhee, The Charlotte
Observer's Washington corres
pondent, writes his paper a
most interesting letter regarding
the approaching Southern tour
of Hon. Francis H. Hitchcock,
first assistant 'postmaster gen
eral. The. prime object, according?-to
this writer,-ft" Gen
eral'Hitchcock's visit to this
section of the country is to re
pair, if possible, the damage
done by Secretary Taft when tbe
latter declared, at a big banquet

all the offices. The Southern
Republicans, in North State
at any rate,i. didn't take very

Town Just Across the Line in
Lincoln Has Several Cases.
A report came to Gastonia
yesterday that there were twenty
cases of smallpox at Crouse
station, which is just across tbe
line, in Lincoln county. This
report seems to have been
exagerated but had foundation
in fact.
A telephone message from
Cherryville to The Gazette this
morning brought the information
that there were several mild
cases of the disease at Crouse,
possibly six or seven, around
the factory of the Burke Manu
tacturing company, me name
of only one victim, however,
could be learned, that of Mr.
M. M. Burke, proprietor of the
Burke Manufacturing Company
In a card published in The
Cherryville Eagle of this week,
issued yesterday, bupt. b. P.
Wilson of the Cherryville
graded schools announces that.
on account "of this outbreak of
tbe disease,, the commence
ment exercises will not be. held.
An interesting program for this
event had been arranged and
its cancellation is a matter for
regret to the Cherryville people.
-Though it has been only a week
since The Gazette announced its in
tention of giving free trips to the
Jamestown Exposition to two young
ladies, much interest is already be
ing manifested in the contest.

Eiht Cars Ditched.
Early Wednesday morning i
freight train on the C. & N.-W
came to grief just north of the
trestle over Bradley's branch
above town. Eight loaded cars.
seven box cars and one flat car
were derailed and thrown into a
ditch. Wednesday tbe passenger
train made its round trip over

long, was built around the
wreck and is now being used
It is expected- that tbe debris
will be removed and the old
track put in use again by Mon
day. All of the freight was
transferred, the damge to it be
ing trifling. The cars were in
jured very little and the entire
loss is estimated at about $250.
