Lles la - Harbor Near JamestownExpositlon Grounds Greatest Assemblage ol A merican Fihtln Ships Ever " Assembled, v Norfolk, Va., April 27 Never yet has Norfolk, of all. the , ports of naval rendezvous, witnessed so imposing an assemblage of war craft , as now lies in the li arbor between Old Point Com fort and the Exposition Grounds. 1 Though but the advance guard of the great gathering of fleets that will be here during tne Jx 2 position, the fleet is impressive, 'not only for its numbers and power, but by reason of tbe fact that it ; is wholly " American; .Sixteen first class battleships .strung along - a line extending three miles, with a number of " secondary craft make up this ' stupendous array of the nation's ocean power, presenting a spec tacle to stir the soul, of pa triotism. Other ships are tiaily lengthening this majestic line, and never before have Americans been privileged to witness the .power of the nation in such "compact concourse. This, fleet "constitutes the greatest : assem blage of American war ships ever held. It is the great new navy on parade; the new navy with which the nation , has as sumed the. second place among the naval powers of the earth. The fleet ia-nianned with over five hundred officers and thirteen thousand men - Twenty abreast this splendid host of American . seamen on the march would . take two hours to pass a given point. ' . : The passage- through this formidable line on - one of Uhe many ferry boats that ply on Norfolk harbor, will arouse in terest in the dullest, and one feels that the nation can never go wrong while such ships -and such men stand sentinels at its sea gates. ' . There is- already, a grand exposition on the waters of Hampton Roads, worth alone a trip across the continent to witness. MAXIM GUN EXHIBIT. One of the most important" ex hibits to be seen in the Marine aooliances building at the James town Exposition, is a display of ordnance from the ' . Vickers's Maxim Company, one of the largest manufacturers of guns and firearms in England. - Great importance is attached to the decision of this firm to participate in the ordnance ex hibit at the Exposition, iu that it is a recognition of the value to exhibitors to enter into the display of this line of manufac turers, at the Ter-Centennial. The exhibit consists of one six-pounder, semi-automatic, pun. with naval mountin? and automatic pack eun. toeether with-,. several pieces of lighter. ordnacce. The exmbit also in cludes a display of saddlery and ammunition. ;. . Wilkes county claims to have tnree men, triplets, who were born May 2d, 1833. They: re all three liviner and. axe strong. hale and hearty men; - The are 74 years old and claim to be the oldest.tnplets in the world. - Real estate was the topic. The observant, citizen was . making some observations on conditions I past and present. . ?I have been ' watching the real estate market in Gastonia for the. past eight or ten years and have been dealing in it myself .to a small extent," he remarked. "Town lots were offered me a half-dozen or less years ago at prices that seemed outrageously high. . Figure any way one might I couldn't see where I could get my .money's worth. To-day those lots couldn't be bought at a 100 per cent in crease on those prices. 'Even at the prices prevailing now, how ever, it pays to invest in uas- tonia dirt as it is still advancing in value." v All of which goes to substantiate the statement that Gastonia is a prosperous and ' growing town, one of the Very best in the piedmont,section. Gastonians, scarcely less than Charlotteans. were interested in the arrest of Percy G. Fonville, the Fort Mill bucket shop man who is charged with conspiring -with Franc H. Jones to rob the Charlotte National Bank. Since the news of his capture and re turn to Charlotte was brought by the afternoon papers of Fri day Fonville and his probable connection . with Jones' defalca tion has been one of the chief topics of conversation in every group of gossipers. There seems to be no unanimity of opinion as to the man's guilt or innocence. Most all hold to the opinion that Jones was more or less undei the, influence of this bucket shop man bnt whetheAthat influence was of such a character as to in volve the latter in any criminal proceedings connected -with Jones' defalcation is another Question. His bond was fixed at $10,000. in default of which be was committed to jail to await trial at the June term of Federal Court. The bank officials are of the opinion that the appre hension of Jones is a matter of but a very short time and it is to be hoped that this opinion has good foundation in fact. - It is safe to say that the public will watch with eager interest further developments in the case. t Recently The Gazette chron icled the fact that the Albion Grocery Company had inaugura ted an experiment by purchasing an automobile for one of it salesmen, Mr. Williams, to use in covering his territory, the object being to make the ma chine do the work of both trains and livery teams. The Albion was the first wholesale house in this section to try this plan and it was entirely experimental. A member of the firm, when ap proached a day pr so ago by a newspaper man with the query "Is your experiment successful?" replied that their most sanguine expectations had been met and. so far as present estimates go the automobile is justifying the expenditure. Since the cbang ing of the passenger schedules on the Southern early in January, it has been practically impos sible for a salesman traveling from Gastonia to make the near by towns without an enormous waste of time, which to the drummer is usually money. The automobile is always ready and no time is lost waiting fonts schedule time of departure. Barring the possibilities, of se rious wrecks and accidents, the automobile as a mode of convey ance for salesmen covering a limited territory seems to be the thing. We Venture to say it won't be a great while a before other wholesale houses in this section will adopt the Albion Company's plan and save money by it. wonvocation oi norsanion ton , yenes at St. Mark's Wednesday Evening. ' ' . The Convocation of Morgan ton will hold its next meeting in St. Mark's Episcopal church. beginning Wednesday evening of ,t"is week and' continuing through Thursday. ; The pastor of this church.

LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN. ..Thousands who have been cured by Hyomei call the inhaler that comes with every outfit the "Little Pocket Physician," as it is so small that it can be carried in the pocket or purse. mere is really no excuse whatever for anyone having catarrh now that Hyomei is so readily obtainable.. If you have any doubt about its value, J. H. Kennedy. & Co. will let you have a complete outfit, with the understanding that unless it cures catarrh, it will not cost you a cent. The complete Hyomei outfit consists of the "Little Pocket Physician" and a bottle of Hyo mei and costs only $1.00. First Presbytery. The First Presbytery of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod of the South' will hold its spring meeting at Chester, S. C, next week, beginning Monday night. Mr. R. W. Carson is the delegate from the Gastonia church, with Mr. Meek Boyce as alternate. Mr. William A. Falls is delegate from Pisgah cnurcn witn Mr. b. n. toy as alternate. Rev. A. T. Lindsay, Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway and perhaps others will attend the session from Gaston. Beam-SheKon. The following from yesterday's Charlotte Observer will be of interest to many Gastonians: "An event of interest to many in Charlotte and Shelby was the marriage yesterday morning of Dr. C. M. Beam, of this city, and Miss Coral E. Sbelton, of Shelby, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Dr. H. K. Boyer, in the parlors of the Tryon Street Methodist parsonage. The wed ding was a very quiet affair, with only a few friends and intimate relatives present. Immediately after the ceremony Dr. and Mrs. Beam left for Shelby, where they will reside for two. weeks. Re turning they 'will make their home in Charlotte." Charlotte Musicians to-be at, Opera House Friday NIht. Mr. Don Richardson, who, with accompanists,, will give a recital at the Opera House on Friday evening, May 3d, is not only a violinist of note but is a music composer whose work has attracted much attention from well-known critics. His ' best known composition is Andante Religioso. Mi. John Charles McNeill described it as "A com pos'tbn possessing a depth of teligious sentiment, of worship fu!, reverential supplication, and whatever else of the undennably mysterious that might be sug gested bv the title Mr. .Richardson's favorite of bis compositions is Berceuse, a cradle song. Others that are well-known add much liked are Meditatiou, Recieation, Traura (Dream), Nocturne and Inter mezzo, Romance ana a number of typical Indian airs, bearing the unmistakable flavor of the plains and reservations BASEBALL. St. Mary's defeated Mountain Island at St. Mary's Athletic Park, Belmont, Saturday by the score ot d to u. i ne game was well played throughout and the number of errors was small. Rousseau's pitching and the long throw home by Arthur from right held in the ninth inning cutting off a run, were the features. Rousseau gave the visitors only two bits and these were secured in the ninth inning when two men were out hawing pitched a good game for the Islanders but was bit hard when hits meant runs. Rube Jenkins at third did excel lent work and some of his stops brought forth applause. St. Mary's made five runs, nine hits and 2 errors. Mountain Island made no runs, two hits and three errors. Batteries: St. Mary's: Rous seau and Sullivan; Mtn. Island Lawing and Lawing. Summary Struck out by Rousseau, 3; by Lawing. 5. Time of game 1 hour and 15 minutes. Umpire Mr. Burns. GREAT GAME EXPECTED. A great game is expected at St. Mary's Athletic Park. Bel mont, Saturday- next when the borne team crosses bats for the second time this season with Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Insti tute. In the last game Mt. Pleasant carried off the palm by the score of 1 to 0. Fullen wider, the star pitcher of the State, was a puzzle that none of the boys could solve. The home boys' inability to score, however, did not kill their con fidence and they centered all their efforts on keeping the visi tors from the home base. The winning score was made by a home T-un drive in the eighth inning. Mullen wider will again appear in the box Saturday. Rousseau, St. Mary's star twirler, will do the box work for the ' home team. Rousseau has not lost a game this season and the home boys feel confi dent behind him. Owing to the close score of the last contest great interest centers in this game, lhe line-up of the two teams will be as follows : MARY'S A check for $1,000 was receiv- i ed in Richmond Friday from Andrew Carnegie for the Home for Needy Confederate Women. No ; conditions . are attached to the gift, which comes. in a per sonal letter to Miss Mary Custis Lee. who is at the head of the home board managers and who met Mr. Carnegie in Florida last season. It is said to be the first -contribution made by Mr. Carnegie or any of his associates to a Confederate institution. Bob Watts, a : young . white I man. was banged at uunters- ville, Ala., yesterday under tragic circumstances. He bad become possessed of a knife and resisted to the end.
