She was met at the depot by ? several Wesleyan Methodist preachers and their followers as well as by a small aggregation of the idle and curious. ' Unwilling to lose any opportunity to get a hearing, little informal . meeting was held just outside tbe depot. One of the preachers held forth for a while, denouncing in most un measured terms coca-cola and all fraternal orders, f "That's right", chimed in Mrs. Nation, "they both belong to the devil". The preacher (the reporter failed to get his name) told the crowd that coca-jcola was - as bad as whiskey. He denounced the county commissioners for allow ing ; its sale. He branded every fraternal order secret was the word he used as belonging to the devil. THE CROWD GATHERS. All day Sunday, from early morning , till late in tne alter noon, there was aV continuous stream of peoplef along Franklin avenue beaded for the Wesleyan Methodist camp-ground where a camp-meeting has been in prog' ress for about two ; weeks. There were many buggies and wagons, while many hundreds went afoot. Mothers were there with their infants in their arms; the small children were there by the hundreds and the grown peo pie were there by the thousands. Because i of the fact that the gathering was in. the woods it was impossible for an onlooker to form any very correct idea of just how many people were, on the grounds in the ; afternoon. Five thousand would not miss it far. There were nearly if not quite as many outside the: tent as were inside. " . - . J k ' - Aunt Lame, as sue nas come to be familiarly known over the country, was of course the star attraction. Tf Though she arrived Saturday morning, she made on ly one speech, that being Sun day afternoon. She began about Record' of.-Policy No. 80,665 Issued in 1875, at age 38 for $10,000. IS Payment Life Plan ANNUAI, TREMIUM : : $430.10 15 Fnll Premiums . i V. ; S6.45L50 Dividends Net Cobt 2.571.70 2:30 o'clock. She, read a chap Ratio Dividends Received to ter from tbe Bible and followed tnis witn a talk ot nearly two Premiums Paid, 39.9 percent hours, in the coarse of.. which snc spouc 01 many laings. - HOW SHE SMASHED SALOONS. . Mrs. Nation deyoted a portion oilhef speech, or i sermon, or lecture, whatever one chooses to call it, to recounting her ex- penence in saloon smasnmg in Kansas. . She did not smash them, she said, until she bad ex hausted all possible r peacable means. The eyes of the coun try she said, were on Kansas where prohibition was On trial. The laws of Kansas made tbe saloon "an outlaw. The rest of the United States was watching Kansas to , see if , prohibition would prohibit ' there. Kansas was eitner to be neid up as a shining example of tbe . efficacy of prohibition law or as a shin ing exposition ol tne slogan of the whiskey men that prohibi tion does not prohibit.- It was a critical time. She first demand ed of the coubty attorney that be enforce the law prohibiting the sale of whiskey; he refused. She made tbe same request of the - State attorney general ; he also turned a deaf ear. She then appealed to the governor, but he, too, declined to act. It was 7 a ?

Book "which she wrote herself and on which she doesn't make five cents per copy". - - Mrs. 'Nation told ber bearers that she bad been a drunkard's wife and was now a drunkard's widow. " . ... y ' ' FRATERNAL ORDERS SCORED. Her most venomous wrath was poured out on the fraternal or ders. It was t here that she slewed - most plainly - her ex tremeness. "She is a "crank on this subject. 'Secret and .fra ternal orders are of the devil, i she said. It is useless to add in this connection that she did not have the sympathy of. any large portion of her audience on this Subject. , - , ';' : Mrs. Nation also took a heavy S3.879.80 .The Cash Surrender Valne ol the Policy at the end of the 31st year ia S6.694.20; tbe result being that the insured would receive" $1.72 for each $1.00 paid, be . sides having had 31 years' insurance for $10,000. .

I was down here at Durham the other day. -They are building a - magnificent mausoleum - to Washington Duke, the late mil lionaire tobacco manufacturer.' They are also building a costly and handsome memorial church to him. I told them that, in or der to be consistent, they should have a large memorial window in : the church. And on. that window- they 8 b o u 1 d ; have wrought tbe words 'Duke's Mix ture and Bull Durham' and should have many pictures of bulls thereon.; That's what he did when be lived", declared Mrs. Nation. r and bis monument should show. it". She also be rated Trinity College for accept ing -tobacco money and declared that its classic walls should be decorated all over with Duke's Mixture tobacco sacks and Duke cigarette boxes. VThe ob ject of these big donations from members of tbe tobacco trust, she said, Was to muzzle the mouths of the preachers. Some presiding elders, she declared. do not want tneir preacners to preach against tobacco. In closing ber address, Mrs. Nation said , " My address is Washington, D. C, where a card or letter will always reach me. I have gone to smash the snake at tbe head. The Lord put tbe jaw bone, of an ass in the hands of Sampson, a sling in the band of David anU .he has put a hatchet in the hands of Carrie Nation". Mrs. Nation left on No. 12 Sunday afternoon for Greens boro and Raleigh where she had appointments.- Before she left the tent she disposed of many of her books, magazines and hatch ets. ; At the depot she also got rid of quite a large number of thete.; While waiting for the train she discussed prohibition and politics with -bystanders. She,-wants a poor man for pres ident, a man from the common people. She did not knock any cigars or cigarettes right and left, so far as could be learned, but she told a bunch of boys at the depot to get away from the windows and stop . blowing their foul, tobacco-ladenedNbreaths in where ladies were. A large crowd gathered at the depot to see Mrs. Nation off. Among those who heard the noted ' woman were many from out of town. There was a varied assortment of opinions as to Mrs. Nation, ber beliefs and her methods." She was the sole top ic of conversation on the streets and everywhere . for one day. She certainly should feel satis fied with her visit to : Gastonia. She disposed of a trunkful of her o o k s, magazines and hatchets 'LOCAL AND PERSONAL Rev. J. M.

The meeting was for the transaction of routine business. - Re ports from the president of the school were to the effect that, if all the students come who have said they were coming, they could not be accommodated.

Candidate I o r Gubernatorial Honors Visits Gaston and Makes Favorable Impression A Successful Man. Gastonia had the honor Satur day of having as a visitor Mr. Ashley . Home,1 of Clayton, Johnston county, who is a can didate for tbe Democratic nomi nation for the governorship at the next State convention. He was'accompanied by Mr Clarence O. Kuester, his nephew, and Mr. Bradley, both of Charlotte. They had been to Kings Moun tain and other nearby towns and were en route to Charlotte. - Mr. Hotne is a ; North Caro linian who,, by his V pluck and energy, has won success and has many admirers who think he t is the man' for the governorship. He is prominently -identified with the agricultural interests of the State, being himself a farmer on a large scale, as well as a banker, a manufacturer and capitalist. He has amassed quite a comfortable fortune . in the course of his lifetime, y He Is well along in life but has tbe appearance of - being well pre served, hale and hearty. While in Gastonia Mr. Horne met a number, of prominent citi zens with whom he talked. He was shown, over the town by Mayor Armstrong. Immense Crowd Enjoyed Speak ing, Music slid Bonntllol Din ner at , the Annual Gathering ' Last Saturday. c . Last Saturday,' July. 27th, was the day set for the annual picnic at Old Furnace, an event which has come to be looked forward to with great pleasure by the people of all that section of . the county.' Weather conditions were ideal, for while the sun shone bright, the. cool breezes and the delightful shade on tbe grounds made the day thorough ly enjoyable in point of physical comfort. At a comparatively early hour in tbe day the crowd, began to gather, and long before the hour for the speaking an im mense throng ; covered . the o-rotinds and were scattered throughout the surrounding prove eneaeed in conversation. Delightful mosic was rendered at intervals during the day by the Bessemer City Cornet Band, who showed the results of able leadership and much arduous practice in the ease and skill with which they rendered, selections of various kinds; Bessemer City is justly proud of such a successful musical organization. . The main attraction of the day was a speech by Dr. B. F. Dixon, who came by special in vitation to address his many friends and kinsfolk of the neighborhood, especially of the Ormand family, many repre sentatives of which were present at the reunion. Dr. Dixon spoke in a very happy vein for 30 or 40 minutes, beginning at noon, and thoroughly charmed his bearers by his eloquent tributes to the Old North State and Gaston county and inci dentally to Cleveland, his native county. , "North Carolina peo ple" said he, "can do anything in the world as well or better, than anybody else when once they know how." Accordingly he urged the great need of the practical education of our young people to fill places of usefulness in tbe business and industrial world. "It is the State's great educational progress which has made possible ber great indus trial advance of the last few years, and mere is no limit to the possibilities that lie out be fore us if we are only tully pre pared and trained to grasp the opportunities when they come, as they surely will." Dr. Dixon made , reference to the fact, which is a matter of great pride to all tbe better citizenship of State, that -North Carolinians . are descended irom tne purest English stock and that North Carolina has a smaller per centage of foreign population than almost any other State in tbe union. The speaker had the best of attention and would have been gladly heard through a much longer speech. It is needless to say that the dinner wich followed the speech was a veritable feast of good things. The tables groaned under a seemingly unlimited abundance of choice edibles of every variety, and no one was allowed to go away hungry. The afternoon passed with more .music by the band, singing and pleasant social in termingling, and as the day grew old tbe crowd gradually scattered in various directions toward .their homes, having spent, no doubt, one of tbe most enjoyable days of the sea son to all who were present. Mrs. Madge , Powers was found dead and her husband unconscious and dying . in their room back of Powers' store in Charlotte Saturday morning. Powers' pistol was lying near and all tbe circumstances seem to show that Powers killed his wife in a fit of drunken angr and then attempted suicide. - . ji Subscribe for Thk Gazette, 10, 20 and 30 jjcrcent We can sell you gilt edge cotton mill stock that ts paying iu. w ana 4f per cent in dividends.
