The State of North Carolina and the medical profession as well suffered a distinct loss in the death of Dr. P. L Murphy at Morganton Wednesday. For nerfy a quarter of a century he had been at the l ead of the State Hospital for the Insane at Morganton and the State's mental unfortunates fared ex ceedingly well under his watch ful eye and careful atteutiou As an alienist he had a wide reputation and as uch be was a valuable member ' the medical profession. It wi'i be a difficult task to fill his pc tiou, which is a very import r. t one to the State. The Gazette asks its readers to be lenient with it for the next week or two and overlook the faults and imperfections they come across. W? are at present straining every rrr.e to get out our special Garten county in dustrial eddition, which will be eff the press a::;! ready to mail by or before the first of October, unless some unforeseen misfor tune shou'd befall us. In the meantime the regular paper will necessarily sufkr some from enforced neglect but we trust that, when our readers get the special edition, they will forgive us foi these shortcomings. As soon as we get settled down once more to hard straight work on the regular paper we expect to give Gaston even a better paper than ever. Crlmln.1 Docket Net Yet Com pleted LarKa, Member el Minor Cases Dispose J ol First Civil Cases Monday. It was thought before court conveued that the criminal docket would be finished by Wednesday afternoon, so that the civil calendar might be taken tip Thursday, as hereto fore Dublished. Bnt so much time has been necessary for the trial of the laree number of criminal cases that it is prob able the first civil cases will not be reached before Monday morning. The ruse of the Srnte acrainst Graham Farrar, colored, charg ed with murder in the second degree, will probably be reached to day. The case against Rev. A. P. Bumgarner, of McAdenville, who waived examination and was bound over to Superior Court on a charge of disturbing public worship some time ago, was nolle prossed. The grand jtiry failed to "find a true bill against Mr. H. N. Garrison, of Bessemer City, who was bound over to court bv the mavor of Bessemer Citv for selling spiritous liquors. It was agreed by counsel yes terday that all civil cases not reached before Monday should go to the foot of the calendar. so that the first civil case will Drobablv be the Hiph Shoals and Long Shoals case. The case against J. E. Nar- rowood, charged with bigamy, who was sent up from the Gas tonia court vesterdav. was tried. but was held open by the Judge to secure further evidence. This inorniu? Narrowood was acquitted and discharged from custody. Pink Adams and Lee Oninn. both colored, were found euiltv of assault on each other, but were not given any sentence beyound the costs, each to pay half. Only a part of the cases against K. R. Richey, of Gas tonia, for retailing were tried yesterday, and sentence was re served until all the cases had been tried. Tr T f rC caoup and 1 Tl . V tJ Pneumonia "alvo TU2 WOSLD'S OLDEST WOMAN.

Mrs. L Killcrease, who lives at Pine Mills, a small village three miles east of Quitman, J exas, says she is 131 years old. She claims to have been born June 10. 1776. She lives with her daughter, who is 97 years old, and with her granddaugh ter, who is 62 years old; It Is believed that Mrs. Killcrease is the oldet-t person in the United States, and probably the oldest in the world. 1 here seems ' to be no question here as to her age. She lias what appears to be autheutic documentary proof which show that she was born in Halifax County, North Caro lina. 131 years ago.

The assertion was made in a card signed by J. L. Webb, of McAdenville, which appeared in Tuesday's issue of The News, that a certain article which had appeared in The Ga zette was from an "unknown writer." We rise to a point of personal privilege, so to speak, to remark that such a state ment is false and misleading. The editors of this paper know the author of every article that appears in its columns and posi tively decline to print any com mumcauon ot whatsoever na ture unless the name of the writer is known. Not only is this the case but the editors of Hospital Committee Report. The undersigned committe ap pointed to solicit subscriptions for the erection of a hospital in Gastonia has made a canvass of the town and are now leady to make their report. A meeting is therefore called for Tuesday night September 17th., in the City Hall of Gas tonia to hear this report and provide for organization. A few subscriptions have been promised that are not yet on the lists.. These parties will please see any member of the com mittee at once and specify the amount to be taken bv them. T. W. Wilson. C.

The North State Cotton Com pany, of Gastonia, has been chartered by the Secretary of State with a capital stock of $l'JO.0OO to do a brokerage busi ness in cotton. The company will have offices in the Arm strong building. Mr. C. K. Mar shall will have charge of the business. The charter has not yet been received from the Secre tary of State and on this account the company has not yet been organized for business. Strike at Loray. About 100 operatives are out on strike at the Loray Mill as a result of their deniands for short er hours not being granted. It is reported that the operatives held a meeting last nipht and agreed on their demand and this motning about one hundred operatives walked Out. Tf vac r. ported at first that 300 or more were out. but this renort vac corrected bv the manawment tn the former statement. It seems that the operatives wanted a 10 hour day system. The Cotton Year. Manufacturers Record. During the cotton year ended August 31 the mills of this country took 5,132,880 bales, an increase over the nrecedina vpar of 380,467 bales, and there were exported 8,364,478 bales, an fin- crease ol 1,777,497 blales. Noithen and Canadian mills took 2,638,311 bales, an. increase of;202,320, and Southern mills iook t,wi,$vj bales, an increase of 178,147. These figures are taken from the report of Col. William F. King, superintendent of the New York Cotton Ex change, who, in commenting upon them, says: "Had the supply of labor proven sufficient the absorption by bouthern mills would have increased the splendid industrial exhibition shown bv them this year. In the face of adverse, and in manv instances npw rnn. ditions, the manufacturers of the oouth have pressed steadily for ago, but few of the events of national imoortance imoresspd .i t i iucuiscivcs upon ner memory.

She makes no claims of having ever seen George Washington, General Lafayette or other great men of the early days. She has a dis tinct recollection of the war of 1812. She was 36 years old then and bad been married several years. A number of men in her neighborhood joined Gen. Jack son's forces and fought in the battle of New Orleans. Mrs. Killcrease does not at tribute her long life to any parti cular cuse. She says that she belongs to that kind of stock. and that there was nothing re markable about her living to b 131 years old. Her father and forefathers were long-lived, most of them not dvintx until thpv haA passed far beyond the century mark. The resinous air, pure water and equable temoerature of the locality where, she was born and resided for a century were all conducive to longevity. She bives that hard work and frugal living tend to prolong life. Shef5 the champion of no particular diet. "Eat what you want and as much as you want if you can get it," is her motto.

JKfJSW ' ' I OUf MOneV'S WOfth" Scholarly Confederate Officer in Almshouse. Charlotte Chronicle. Strange fortunes have followed some ot the men ot the Confede racy. It has just been discov ered that R. R. Grant, secretary io juaan r. Benjamin, Attorney General Of the Confederate States, is an inmate of the poor I house at Montgomery, Ala. The matter gained publicity through the application of Grant to the mayor for enough money to buy a Greece Bible. He is famous as a scholar, and the interesting) part is that he is a native of North Carolina, havtnor hpn born in Newbern, in 1835. Men whom fate serves this way gen erally have queer ideas, and pos sibly Grant would resist au ef fort to take hkn away from the poor house, but it might not be amiss lor the North Carolina veterans to see what they could ao ior nis comfort.
