We are constrained to believe that there would be fewer lynch- - ings in the South if justice were meted out with as much expedi tion as was the case in Wood bury, N. J., last week when Ed ward Gibson, a negro who, on the day following biscrime, which was assaulting a -young while girl, was sentenced to twelve years at hard labor in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $3,000. Friday is Memorial Day in the South and, as told elsewhere in to-day's Gazette, will be fitting ly observed in Gastonia. The Gazette sincerely hopes that every veteran in Gaston county who can possibly do so will make arrangements to be in Gastonia on that day and par ticipate in the exercises de signed to do honor to tbem and to their brothers who have crossed over the river and are resting under the shade of the trees. Year by year the ranks of the veterans grow thinner and thinner and as the number grows constantly smaller these gatherings, the object of which is to honor the dead heroes and keep the memory of .their noble deeds green,' should, and donbtless do, grow dearer and more sacred to those that remain. The cartoon in yesterday's Charlotte News was particularly expressive and represents a con dition of affairs which is, alas too true. On one side of fence stands the farmer, with his broad-brimmed hat and smok ing his corn-cob pipe, standing by a large sign which says "Wanted Farm help." On the other side of the fence is a long procession of fresh college (graduates who, turning a deaf ear to the farmer's cry for help, are rushing pell-mell after profession, one to toe law, an otner to medicine and so on ad infinitum. It is easy to believe that many in this long proces sion would make good farmers or farm hands at any rate who will be failures in the professions they so eagerly seek to enter, It is not at all hard' to believe either that years hence not i few in this long procession wil sigh regretfully that the farmer's call was unheeded. lievethat, if there ever was a real live, mountain moonshiner bristling with longmustachios, pistols and knives, he figured only in,, ancient history. Every once-in-awhile, however,, from some remote section comes such a story with all the earmarks of truth. Such a story was carried by the daily paper of Saturday under a Greenville. Sr'C.T date line. It told how a party of revenue officers slipped into the "Dark Corner"' famous as the home of illicit-whiskey makers and captured a big still and two blockaders. While holding their captives at bay pending the arrival of assistance, the officers were surrounded b y grizzly mountaineers armed with Win chesters who demanded the re lease of the prisoners. They also told the revenuers to skiddo and the advice was taken with out any parleying. It was a real romantic performance and, if embellished with a few scenes from life, would make good copy for a wild and wooly dime novelette. FIRST PRESBYTERY.

Feats at St. Mary's Athletic Park T-Morrow The Events. v The Gazette acknowledge an invitation to attend the annual field day exercises of St.' Mary's College at St. Mary's Athletic Park to morrow, ; the 8th. " The events will begin at 2 30 o'clock in the afternodit ' and a vood crowd will probably be in attend and and is A new set of town officials are now at the helm and the manage ment ot uastoma's attairs is . in tneir bands. In the very outset of the official career of the men composing the governing boards The Gazette bespeaks for tbem the hearty co-operation of every loyal citizen of Gastonia. Our town is growing constantly ax.d every step forward places an extra burden upon the men at the helm ; they need the good will and help of the entire cit izenship to enable them to ac complish the largest possible results for the town; As the town expands along various lines the problems of its life be , come more complex and less easy of solution. Let all shoul ders go to the wheel in an, effort to push Gastonia to the front with1 all possible speed. The Gazette has no criticism to make of the retiring., board. They were men who labored earnestly and conscientiously a n d dis charged their duty as they saw it. They retire with the confi dence andxesteem of the citizens and the record they leave behind they are not ashamed of. So rare are stories nowadays of daring encounters with des perate mountain moonshiners that the average man residing outside of the immediate sections mis fcacras ia forcer years by t-?s; ciarzeis has crown to be LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN. Thousands who have been cured by Hyomei call the inhaler that comes with every outfit the Little Pocket Physician," as it so small that it can be carried in the pocket or purse. There is really no excuse whatever for anyone having catarrh now that Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If vou have ny 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 hysician" and a bottle of Hyo mei and costs only $1.00. May 12 to 15 is the date for Rutherford College commence ment. Rev. R. D. Smartt. of Charlottesville, Va., will preach the annual sermon. Dr. Henry L. Smith will deliver the literary address and Rev. W. ,. Aber netby, the alumni address.

The Gastonia The body of little Horace Marvin, son of a wealthy physi cian ot Kitts Hammock, Dei., who was kidnapped some weeks ago was found in a swamp near the Marvin home Saturday by a hunter. It was in a fair state of preservation. It is believed, the boy was recently murdered and his body placed where it was found as this swamp was burned over four weeks ago in an effort to find the body. It showed no signs of having come in contact with fire. The disappearance of the boy and the belief that he was kidnapped, together with tne tact that nis parents were wealthy, caused the story to widely circulate and the search for him has been followed close- y by readers of newspapers for many weeks.'

Just what the issues were in the campaign which preceded this election The Gazette , has been unable to learn in fact a supporter of the winning faction informed the reporter over the phone last night that there were no issues. : There were two factions; one won, the other was defeated. The campaign, however, it is stated, was quite a lively one and no .little interest was aroused as is shown by the fact that the vote polled was the largest ever cast in a municipal election at Bessemer City. Mr. John A. Smith, the well- known cotton mill man and in cidentally editor and owner, of The Bessemer City Messenger which figured largely- in the campaign and which was sub jected to some quite severe criticism from outside sources because of its scathing attacks on tne existing authority and manner of governing the town, a was elected mayor, receiving 179 votes as against 52 received by bis opponent, Mr. Robert Kennedy.
