Land. : - Mr. Albert Smith left on No. 39 yesterday morning for Texas where on Friday be - expects to obtain some valuable pieces of real estate in a big distribution of dirt to be made by the Sante Pe & Frisco Land Development Co. He went from Gastonia to Atlanta from which point he is furnished transportation free to his destination by the above named company. The land in question consists of 10,000 acres of land in Kenan, .Jerome and other towns; , in Montgomery county, Texas. It has: been di vided into town ; lots and farms of ; various sizes. Mr. Smith holds five optious or rather five certificates which; entitle him to draw five parcels of land, the nature of which will only be known after the drawing is over. There are several thousand of these certificates out, one for every piece of land, and there will doubtless be a big crowd on hand when the band begins to play and dirt begins to fly. Some of the property is im proved and Mr. Smith has an equal chance with others to get business block, a residence, a hotel, a factory site or any one of a half dozen other things. "Montgomery county" said Mr. Smith to The Gazette re porter yesterday morning just on the eve of his departure, "is sit uated in the southern part of Texas, about 65 miles from the coast, and is very fertile. The farm land is . very productive, corn and other staples growing in abundance. There are three railroads in the county and this, development company has been busy for more than a year get ting the property in shape for this event. I expect to be gone anywhere from ten days to six weeks. It is my intention, if I can, to sell any property I may draw and make something out of it. If I can't disoose of it at a profit I will hold on to it." A party ot Kings Mountaiuites, it ! is understood, had intended going to Texas to participate in this drawing but failed to get their papers in proper shape so didn't go. BEWARE Or "DIGESTIVES" The ordinary "dyspepsia" tablet has ruined more stomachs than all other causes combined. Giving temporary relief, it leaves the digestive system weaker than ever, and the tab lets must be continued with in creasing frequency. Mi-o-na excites the secretion of gastric juice, and when the food is swallowed, the stomach is ready to digest it. Mi-o-na stomach tablets! are never sold in bulk, but in a neat box convenient for the purse or vest pocket, at 50c. A guarantee is given by J. H. Kennedy & Co. with every box of Mi-o-na, that money will be refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. This shows their faith in the merits of the remedy; Ap30,May3,7 Rapid, gaged I- juicn., nas been en r the past sevetal weeks in v'KUif .seats in the big au ditoi in n at the Jamestown ' Ex os!M in. He completed bis task ast eek and on ,his return talked ) interestingly about the big ; fair." He says many - of the -buildings are far from com pletion and thar the grounds are by 1 no m e a n s finished. He thinks it will be at least two months before everything will be in readiness and the exhibits placed. North Carolina's State building is nearing completion and will be a credit to the Old North State.tbinks Mr. Spencer. August and September, he thinks, will be the best months in which to visit the big fair. which will, when completed, be a magnificent piece of work. Mr. Spencer has in his posses sion several very attractive souvenirs of the exposition. While in Norfolk he " saw Mr. Eli Dixon." who is a fireman on the ; battleship Louisiana. Mr. Dixon is a Gaston boy who en listed in the United States Navy two years ' ago. He is well pleased with life in the navy. DISCHARGED AS CURED.

There seems to be no question of a race between Senator Overman7 and Governor Glenn for the senatorship. The Gov ernor is reticent in regard, to the matter, but the opinion among well-informed politicians is that he is the race in earnest Both are strong men and the Governor is a formidable candi date for any office and the question seems to resolve itself into one of strength. -New Factories at Maiden. Newton Kntcrpriae. 'V ; During a call from Mr. Pink Detter and Mr. Frank Rogers of Maiden Monday morning we . mm a learn tnat uaiaen is to nave a new cotton mill this summer. Mr. L. A.

Mr. carpenter is having the site on the C. &. N. W. railroad cleared away for the building and will ' begin work pretty soon. We also learn from these gentlemen that the f urni tnre factory between the depot and the Maiden Creek bridge which Rev. J. L.

Mr. Wilkins's new residence lacks about a month of completion. The annual meeting of the members of the' Commercial club was held in tne club rooms last night. There were twenty one .members present. The meeting was called to order by Mr. O. S. - Wilkins the retiring president, and the club at once proceeded to elect officers for the ensuing year. The result was as follows: M. C.

The secretary reported thirty-three active members, paying dues of $1 a month each, with $50 a month expense during the summer, and about b a a month dunne the winter. In view of this situation it appeared that the dub cannot exist much longer without increased mem bership, and it was decided that a meeting of the board of gov ernors would be held next week to see what can be done in the way of getting new members.

If it hadn't been for old Captain Crawford, the Yankees would nave ' gone tight into Petersburg after the blow-up." So declared Mr. J. B. Adkins, Wednesday. Mr. Adkms Was s member of company E. Seven teenth regiment. Capt. Mills. He was at the blow-up himself. and only about a hundred yards from the point crater, where 80, 000 pounds of gunpowder : ex ploded under A the Confederate works. The explosion killed over 600 men and that it caused great demoralization is easy to be imagined. The Federal had 50,000 men in readiness to make the assault immediately follow ing the ' explosion;; "As to whether. Captain Crawford had any orders from above or not. do not know; but I'll tell you he was . not but a little while in whipping together about: 15U or 200 men' from scattered com mands, and what we did for the advancing Yankees was a plenty. Of course, others officers did the same as Captain Crawford, the best they could and all help ed. The L Yankees lost 4,000 men before they quit, and lots of us believed then and believe now that if it had ' not been for old Crawford's part in stopping them, they : would have gone right on into Petersburg.? : Governor Ansel has accepted the invitation of the Winnie Davis Chapter U.
