FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1907. Standard Oil stock, according to good authorities, is not quoted at all on the New York Stock exchange. But the financial powers back of the Standard "are without doubt responsible for the sharp decliue in nearly all stocks which was an alarming feature of the days business on Wednesday.

Pursuant to the call of Receiver - Caesar Cone a meeting of the creditors of the Odell Manufacturing Company was held at the Odell plant this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Among those present were: Cae sar and Moses Cone; Robert King and J. A. Odell. of Greens boro; R. H. Wright' and John Sprunt Hill, of Durham; James H. Pou, Herbert W. Jackson and Joseph G.

(Editorial Correspondence.) Within the past thirty days there has been a very marked change in the crop prospects in . this section of the country. Ow ing to the late cool spring, cot ton, corn and practically every farm product was deterred from growth and it seemed that the fanners would have a bad year of it. All this has changed with in a month. Everywhere one goes he can see splendid stands of cotton and corn fields that rival those of any previous years. The farmers are optimistic, and they are busy. Unless some thing very nntoward comes to pass it seems probable that the cotton and corn crops in Gaston this season will be up to the standard set by the best of past t seasons. The farmer, who is really the only producer, is the backbone of every country and when he prospers, men engaged in every other line of business smile. The Gazette man, in company with Mr. John Green, of the firm of Green & Haynes, pho tographers, spent yesterday mak ing a trip from Gastonia to Cher rwille by way of Bessemer City. Not having been in Bessemer for some time the newspaper man was really astonished to see the progress that has been made in the building line during the past twelve months. Concrete blocks constitute the popular building material at Bessemer now. There are already about six buildings of this material and another double store build ing is in course of costruction. It is being erected by Mr. W. N. Froneberger on the corner for merly occupied by the frame store house of Counts Brothers. When completed it will be a hamdsome addition to the busi ness part of the town. The new Smith Mill has . recently been completed and, we understand, is about ready to begin operation. There is everywhere in evidence an air of push and energy which leads one to believe that Bes semer is prosperous and' grow ing.

Our first stop was at the hos pitable home of Mr. Thomas S. Royster, about three and a half miles north of Bessemer, where submitted his report and it was received with grateful pleasure by the creditors the same making a most ex cellent showing. Messrs. S. Wittkowsky, Herbert W. Jack son and R. H. Wright, who were some time ago appointed a committee to formulate plans for re-organization, were present, but offered no reports at this time. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved First, That the court be asked that the receiver of the Odell Manufacturing Company be requested to call another meeting of the creditors, to be held about the first of Feb ruary, 1908. Second: That a copy of this resolution be filed with - the United States Court at Greens boro. The meeting was harmonious and a number of the creditors made short talks, expressing coufidence in Mr. Cone and gratification for the report he made for the time he has had the business in- charge. we enjoyed a luscious water melon from his patch. Speak ing of watermelons, Mr. Royster said he had pulled an even hun dred the evening before. He does not market them but uses them to fatten his hogs. Mr. Royster is the efficient carrier on rural free delivery route No. 1. He covers a route 23 miles long every day and finds time between times to do a lot of farming. He has 150 acres of land, a large part of which is under cultiva tion. His corn crop is one of the best on this road. He has also a large sugar cane patch and will be ready within a few days to make molasses. A large watermelon patch and an ov chart containing hundreds of trees ape valuable adjuncts to bis farm, though the orchard is bare this season, all the fruit in this section of country having been killed by the late cold weather. The famous tin mine of the Carolina Tin Company is located on Mr. Royster's farm. It is not now in operation, though quite a good deal of tin ore has been taken out and ship ed away for refinement. Some two or three miles fur ther up the road in the direction ot inerryvuie tne newspaper man and the photographer found a large crowd gathered at the old Mauney homestead where the annual family reunion was being held. It was nearing din ner time and the good women were busily engaged in placing a tempting repast on a long table in the yard near the spring house. There were very few present except members of the Mauney family and relatives, the crowd numbering consider ably over a hundred. These Manney reunions are great oc casions and members of the fam ily come from quite a distance to be present. ; After Mr. Green had photo graphed the table and the crowd. Rev. W.

Program at Dallas-En-coarajgini Reports from Sun day Schools oi the County. The Gaston County Presby terian Sunday school convention, which met at Dallas Wednes day, adjourned yesterday after noon a f t er a two-days' ses sion of great interest and profit to those who attended. The program published in Tuesday's Uazette was earned out in full and there was a good attendance from all over the county. .Rev. M. B. Porter, district superintendent of Sunday schools for North Carolina was present throughout the' session and joined in the discussion of a number ot the topics. His presence was very helpful to the convention. - The convention was organized with J. R. Henderson chairman, and J. Q. Hall temporary secre tary. The statistical reports showed the schools of the county to be in better condition than last year. Church enrollments are larger, and the schools' gave more than one-third more for all purposes thanthey did last year. The next session of the conven tion will be held in Mount Holly.

A few facts concerning tha lungs will explain matters. You have 200 cubic Inches of air la your chest, and you only breathe out at each expiration about twenty to thirty of these.- Try as hard as you can, you are unable to breath out all the air. It would be bad for you If yon could, for your lungs are In a kind of bag. Prick this, and the lungs col lapse. The footballer has had too much air knocked out of him. No wonder be gasps, for the atmosphere is pressing on his chest at the rate of fifteen pounds to the square lach. He has lost some of the air Inside which should press against the pressure out side. What about the work of the lungs? Suppose the word "laundry" Is used Instead. That Is Just the Idea. The Impure blood travels to the lungs quite dark red in color. The reason is that It contains much carbonic acid gas. Try breathing through a tube Into some llmewater. Notice the clean wa ter becomes milky. This gas Is con tlnually passing from the blood Into the lungs. s You have to breathe six. or eight times before the air reaches the bottom of the lungs. ' The first breath only gets to your collar stud. The oxygen you have inspired meets some carbonic acid gas, and they change places. Down the oxygen goes till It meets the air eells. Imagine a prison cell with a transparent door. The blood. as it were, can see the oxygen. Bight through the skin wall the oxygea passes. The carbonic acid gas also passes out Into the lungs to be ex pired. ' -; - What Is the blood taking away? Your blood Is full of small live bodies corpuscles and these will take as much oxygea as you can give them. The blood is so happy whan It obtains some of this gaa that it changes- Its color from dark to light red. Away It goes round the body and In a minute or two comes back to the lungs with a fresh cargo of Impure gas. , In on day you breathe out 15,000 cubic inches of this Impure gas. Weigh it, and there are six ounces of solid carbon. There Is enough material for a dozen lead pencils. Pat this fact In another way.
