Armstrongsaidto Manager Nelson, of the Star. Theatre. Saturday .afternoon- after the town's chief executive had en joyed a little private show at the theatre on Alain street, the pic tures furnished for his delecta tion being a. reproduction of scenes in the famous Thaw White case. , Manager Nelson advertised in the ' local papers last Friday that beginning Mon day, "The Unwritten Law a motion picture illustrating the Thaw-White case, will be shown complete." . Every body " was talking about the Thaw-White case and, while none of us would acknowledge it now : that the thing's all off, it's more than likely, had the show been a lowed to operate for a solid week, that the majority of people in Gastonia and vicinity would have seen it. " Mayor Armstrong, having seen the advertisement and having heard the gossip that was going the rounds about the pictures for next week, decided to do a little investigating as to the merits and demerits of the show. He was not prepared to believe everything be heard.. He was from Missouri as far as this par ticular show was concerned." He did not wish to condemn the thing and rule it out of - older without giving the - theatre a show. He wanted to be fair. So he went to the Star Theatre Saturday afternoon and Manager Nelson consented readily, to give him a Drivate exhibition of the pictures that he proposed to en tertain the people of Gastonia with tor a week. lne mayor came, ue saw, ue 101a tne theatre manager that it wouldn't do. So there'll be no moving picture exhibition of the Thaw- White case in Gastonia this week. Charlotte had a similar exper lence with , these pic tures some time ago.; Other towns have also had similar ex Deriences. The Tbaw-White case in moving pictures is having a tough time of it, sure. 1 1 MinrainnieE'D To be comfortable, means light ; , clothes and light prices Tf , T",V Gordon Dye Hosiery has no cquat - .

The Holland, one of Gas- touia's newest cotton manufac tories, has made a splendid be ginning as is shown by a con densed statement card issued to the stockholders by Mr. B. M Holland, secretary and treasurer of the mill, last week, This is perhaps the smallest cotton fac tory in Gastonia or Gaston coun ty, having a capital of only $42,- 400, and has been in operation very little over two months. The statement issued shows a profit for the first two months of over $4,000, an earning of nearly 60 ter cent on the capital stock. Mr. E. Hope Forbes, under whose superintendency the mil! has been since it started opera tion, bas resigned and is suc ceeded by Mr. . Franklin LeRoy Wilson, recently with the Dan River Mills at Danville, Va. . . r t . 1 Air. roroes is an experienced mill man and the successful start the mill has made is due in no small degree to bis wise super intendency.

B-R-O T M-'E R S; H Lutheran Conference. The quarterly meeting of the North Carolina Conference of the Tennessee Synod, Evangel ical Lutheran Church, closed Saturday at Bessemer after a two-days session. The program as previously arranged was car ried out in full. The attend ance was good and much in terest was shown.. Perhaps the most interesting 'feature of the conference was the launching of a laymen's movement for mis sionary purposes. It was pro jected on the basis of an annual minimum fee of $5 for each member. -: This movement will be permanently -organized at Hickory at . the Lutheran re union July - 27tb. The next session of the conference will be held at Mount Holly, where Rev. W. J. Soger is '. pastor, begin ning Friday before the fifth Sun day in September. Sunday the pulpits of the several Bessemer City churches , were filled by visiting ministers. Rev. C. L. Miller preached , for Rev. John Hall in the Gastonia , church Sunday morning and Rev. P; K.

Webb, a Painter, Com mils Suicide by Drinking Heavy Dose of Carbolic Acid and Laudanums-Had Been on Spree Since . Friday Made Desperate Attempt to Kill Himself. Year Afo A Na tive of Cleveland County Frank M. Webb, a painter aged about 40 years, committed suicide at his home at the Loray Mill sometime last night by drinking a heavy dose o laudanum and carbolic acid Nothing was known of his rash deed until this morning after daylight when Mr. Horace Jones, an operat ve at the Loray who occupied a separate , bed in the same room, made the dis covery. Webb was cold , and stiff when found and ' had evi dently been dead for severa hours. A two-ounce bottle half full of carbolic acid and an empty laudanum bottle'' lying beside the bed told the story No cause for his rash - deed known except that he had been drinking heavily since Friday. County Physician L. N Glenn and .Coroner W. N Davis were notified of Webb'i death and went out tbis morn ing to make investigation. Af ter viewing the body and inter viewing members of the family the coroner decided that it was a plain case of self-destruction and deemed an inquest un necessary. The unfortunate man's mother, who lives at Spencer, was also notified and will reach here this afternoon. Until her arrival no . funeral ar rangement will be made. Webb came home yesterday afternoon about six o'clock and immediately went to his room on the second floor of the house. His family knew he was drink ing and tnougnt ne was going up to sleep off his drunken stupor. Mr. Jones, who boarded at the house, occupying a sep arate bed in tne same room, saw Webb lying on his cot but did not : suspect that anything was wrong. It is evident that Webb drank the laudanum, ' an ounce and a half, sometime in the early part of the night and, . seeing that it was not going to accom plish his desired end, drank half of the bottle of carbolic acid. Frank M. Webb was a native of Cleveland county, having been raised near I Shelby. . He came to Gastonia about ' five years ago from Kings Mountain and has been living at the Loray since. For several years he was in the employ - of the Loray Mill, having charge : of the houses. For the past year he has been painting. His family, consisting of a wife and eight children, work in the mill. A year ago Webb, under similar circumstances, attempted to kill himself br.cutting his. throat. He inflicted a severe wound and was some tune recovering irom the effects.-;-..;- At this writing the funeral ar rangements had not been made, pending the arrival of his mother rom Spencerv It is probable that his body will be taken to his native county of Cleveland or burial.
