To what lengths the corporate interests of the country will vet co in their crafty efforts to sub- . s'dize the press is a subject on which it is dangerous to make any definite predictions, for the ubiquitous press agents of the money power and the great combinations of capital break out in a new place every little while. The latest and most brazen scheme to secure the columns of the papers cf the country for exploiting the common peo ple at the cheapest possible rate parades under the thin cloak anorded by the name Municipal Ownership Publish ing Bureau, of 119 Nassau Street, New York. The brilliant scheme adopted by this benevolent organization, which is so deeply concerned that the American people should be warned of the dangers of municipal ownership, is to offer free plate matter in unlimited quantities to all papers that will publish it. setting forth the "conseivative" side of the ques tion. A paragraph from the circular which accompanies the offer reads as follows: "In view of the general interest in Municipal Ownership and of the difficulty of obtaining reliable material on the CONSERVA TIVE side of that question, we have made arrangements with the American Press Association to send free of all charges to those papers that will use it a page of which proof is en closed." Only one question arires. Who furnishes. the money to pay for all this free matter, if not the great combinations of capital who fear their interests will be injured by the popular movement towards municipal ownership? Even if an editor is opposed to municipal ownership on prin ciple and by conviction, it is hard to see how he could get the consent of his mind to be made the tool of an organization that is, on the very face of it, actua ted in its kind offers not by principle or philanthropy but by sordid self-interest. In this connection we are re miuded to mention a little pamphlet recently issued by the Directors of the Standard Ojl Company, which contains a pitiful plaint of injured inno cence by way of preface and then quotes page after page of newspaper articles favorable to the Standard. The most notic able feature of these clippings is that none of them are from the best and soundest class of papers, all of whom have too much character and stamina to be brought into submission to the trusts.

The members of Pisgah Asso ciate Reformed church are con templating a new church build ing. Fifty-one years ago the present structure was completed, and it was then considered one of the handsomest churches in the county. Now few have poorer structures in which to worship; this on account of the extreme age of the church, of course. A special committee was appointed from the church membership to consider the problems arising in the consideration of erecting a new house of worship. That committee met last week and came to happy conclusions. At a meeting of the congregation, to be held on Saturday of this week a full report, with plans and specifications, will be sub mitted. The plans, as the committee considered them, call for a brick building with an auditorium hav ing greater capacity tnan tne present building, greater by 250 square feet; two vestibules, a session room and a ladies' room. The estimated cost is in the neighborhood of $4,000. The people of the Pisgah neighborhood rank with any in point of intelligence and worldly goods; in fact no more intellect ual community can be found anywhere. They need a new house of worship, and if the majority carry, a handsome new structure will adorn the present grounds ere many more months elapse. The new church, in case of its erection, will likely occupy a position a little removed from the present church, probably a little above. Iftbisisdone the regular church services can be held in the old building during the erection of the new. Sentiment cal's for holding on to the old building. For more than half a century the old church has stood there and if it only had the power of speech. what tales could it tell. The building used before the erection of the present structure was about three miles away, above Crowders Mountain Cotton Mill, a place laminar to tne older readers of The Gazette. Until recent years an annual meeting was held at old Pisgah for the purpose of cleaning off the grave yard; preaching services were also held at these annual gath erings, but since the death of Dr. E. E. Boyce, for more than 40 years the revered pastor of the congregation, the people have lost interest in the old spot, very precious to many because so many loved ones sleep there. Just before the erection of the present building, a wonderful wave of emigration struck the community and many of the best and most influential members moved to Arkansas. The con gregation, as a result, was al most broken up. So alarming was the situation that Rev. Mr. Eoyce, then the young pastor, preached a special sermon on the text: "Despise not the day of small things. As a result of ; NEWS FROM ROUTE ONE. Correspondent- cf Tha Gasatte. Gastonia, N. C, R. P D. No, 1, Sept. 9. Fodder pulling is in full blast now. It was delayed for some time on account of the threatening weather 'last week, but those who went on with it were the lucky ones, as the rain was very light. The next thing on the program is the gathering of the fleecy staple, and Christ mas will tell the end of it. ' As you go along the route you will notice a lots of work done since crops were laid by, such as building new houses, recovering old houses and nutting in shade, and such work is still going on. Mis. G. VV. Falls and daught er. Miss Willie, expect to leave to-day for Jamestown to take in the sights of the Exposition. Mr. and Mrs. James F. Falls will leave in about two weeks for their former home, going by the way of Jamestown. Mr. W. Dj Anthony '"and others have a movement on foot to put np a phone line starting at Mr. Lee VVhitesides and extending as far as Mr. Doc Falls'. We hope this line will be established, for it would be a convenience to the entire neighborhood. Mr. Rufus Sparrow, who married a daughter of Mrs. Mary Boyd, and who has been living near Yorkville, is thinking of moving up to Mrs. Boyd's and putting him up a cottage. Mr. Sparrow would be welcomed in that neighborhood. What has become of the basket makers Uaskets are bard to get this year for the cotton pickers. The bas kets will sell better than the cot ton does.

Because of the disastrous fire which visited the Charlotte Ob server's phnt Sunday night, The Gazette will be delayed several days in getting out its industrial edition, A quantity of type and copy for this issue was in the composing rooms - of The Observer. Fortunately none was burned but all was more or less damaged by water. It was the original intention to issue this edition the 20th of this month but n will be nearer the first of October when it ap pears. Because of this delay the time for accepting copy is extended from Wednesday night of this week to Saturday night. Tha Timber Supply. . Manufacturers Record. .
