Chester Reporter, September 9th: John Robert, the 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Patrick, was accidentally killed in the yard of his parents' home at Woodward Friday at noon, the circumstances being partic ularly sad. It seems that tbe little fellow was playing around a heavy wagon body, which had been temporarily left standing against a fence, and in some way the weighty object was unbal anced, falling upon the child and producing injuries of such character that the little fellow died in about three-quarters of an hour without regaining con sciousness. One of the heavy bolts in tne cross beam across the bottom of the wagon body struck at the base of the skull, this wound alone being sufficient to produce death. The White Diamond Litbia springs are just winding up an unusually successful season, and so much encouraged is the man agenient that it is making plans for very extensive additions and improvements. Although as yet, there has been no definite determination of the exact nature and extent of the proposed improvements. among the most important items under conf ideration are the ad ditiou of about twenty-five rooms to the main building, tbe en largement of the dining room and the erection of a large danc ing pavilion, either on the hill oacg oi tne notei or down over the branch in front. The management i s now thoroughly satisfied that the un dertaking is well past the ex" perimental stage, and that it will be safe in making any reasonable expenditure in the way of futher improvements. K1N0S MOUNTAIN ITEMS. CLEVELAND CULLING 3 JClnga Mountain Herald. 12th, Our1 graded school opened last Monday morning with an enroll ment of 230 pupils, which num ber has been increasing daily since.- We presume the number will now reach close to 275. . A tenant house belonging; to W. O. Ware & Son. and occu pied by Vach McGill, colored, was struck, by lightning Tues day night and tbe stove flue de molished. Some of the ceiling: was torn off about the flue. Tbe family, was in tbe adjoining room, out none oi tnem were hurt, not even shocked by the bolt. It seems almost miracul ous bow all escaped at least a shock, but such are the freaks of electricity. But Vach thinks the scare was equal to a big shock. We have been requested to ask the ladies of all the churches who wish to participate in tbe Floral Fair this fall to meet at 4 o'clock, sharp, tomorrow, Fri- Ad- 4 This committee is made up of the men who sit around an excava tion for a new building, whittle pine sticks, spit tobacco juice on the fresh dirt and watch the other fellows work. It's all .right to show interest in new build ings, in town develop ment and progress, but there's a better way. You czn do more good for yourself and the community by re signing from "The Citi zens' Committee" and getting into the General Progress Committee. This committee is the one that PUTS UP THE NEW BUILDINGS, brings new business into town to occudv them. paints the old houses, keeps the sidewalks in good repair, beautifies the front yards, cleans up the back yards and otherwise makes this town a better town to live in. The General Progress Committee is the Unofficial Town Booming Committee. It really ought to be organ ized and made official. Let all of us work together for the advancement of the town we live in, and there will be more room around new excavations for the fellows at work to throw out the dirt. Eternal industry is the price of progress. Let's all fall in line for the General Progress Commit tee and" then cv JUST WATCH THE OLD TOWN GROW. Subscribe for THE GASTONIA GAZETTE. Work of (he Veneer Cutter. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "The veneer cutter is one of the wonders of modern times," says a furniture man. "People who have never seen it work have not the faintest idea what it can do. Of course it is one result of the scarcity and high price of valuable timber, for if mahogany, rosewood, ebony and curled maple, were as cheap as yellow pine there would be no need for a veneering machine, but the high prices of these woods compelled economy. The furniture makers were obliged to use them with parsimony nence tne invention ot tne veneer cutter. "A saw cutter will cut twenty nve or tnirty slices ot veneer from an inch of wood, and most people would think that this is a tolerably economical ust-, even ot rosewood. But the knife cut a. t rr . ler suaves on tne, wood in a slice so thin that from 125 to 150 veneers to the inch can be cut atd still every one of these shav ings preserves the color and shows the texture of the original wood, and so smoothly is the tuning uone mat very oiten no polishing is utcessary. The cheapness with which the work is done may be appreciated by uic iaci inai cigar Doxes. once used, then given away or made into kindling are very often manufactured of pophr or some otner very cheap wood and veneered with cedar, simply be .-..

The Treasury Departement last wee received x),UO0 from the James town Exposition Company which makes more than $100,000 so far re ceived from the exposition. This money will be applied to the liqui dation of the exposition'! debt to the government of $1,000,000. which was j appiopnatea at the last session of congress. day, evening at the ladies' par- or at tbe Presbyterian church. This will be the initiatory step or what has proven a very social and enjoyable function in A. , m our town, ana it is qopea mat this one, if possible, will be the best we have ever had. We would be pleased to see all our churches enter heartily into this fair and thus be enabled to make it a larger and fuller gathering. There was -a reunion at the borne of Mr. Noan Carpenter near Longshoals on last Saturday which called fourth more than tbe usual interest of such gatherings. This reunion of the Carpenter family of which there' were, in all, 14 children has been established as an annual affair, and September the 7th fixed as the day for the gathering. The crowd last Saturday is said to have numbered over 400 persons. There were three ministers there. Mrs. Sallie Deal and daughter, Miss Alda, attended from this place and report a grand, good, all round time. That set of eypsies which struck our town last Thursday or Friday are a "holy terror" to civilization. They are fortune tellers, traders and almost any thing you call for. Any town that misses their visit will be fortunate. They camped in our town several days, straggling around among the people and getting money as they could. Tbe leader seemed to be a very intelligent fellow, but the women and children were a sight. The rumor was noised abroad that they had smallpox in their camp, but on proper investigation it was found to be only measels. They had along about 10 or 12 neaa oi trading norses, but we think they did little trading, THE CBOP REPORT. Bureau oi Statistics Makes Pub lie Its Findings For Aniust Associated Press.

The elec tion of Mr. Allen occurred at the regular September meeting. Mr.J. Y. Hord of near Waco was a pleasant Saturday caller and submitted some threshing figures winch be thinks are record breakers in this county. At tbe close of the threshing season, the firm of J. Y. Hord & Sons had " threshed 23,000 bushels of grain. So far as we have learned, this is the largest number of bushels threshed the past season. The annual meeting of tbe stockholders of tbe Verner Oil Mill was held a few days ago in the offices of the company at Lattimore. The reports sub mitted by the executive officers of the corporation were of a highly satisfactory nature. The fiscal pear just closed has been one of the most pfosperous in the history of the plant. A hand some dividend was declared the amount thereof, for good and sufficient reasons, not being made public. Mr. W. R. Green, who lives on the plantation of Mr. John S. Wray seven miles east of Shelbv, is the unwilling cus todian of a little three weeks old baby boy. His possession of the baby came about in this way. -Friday morning some time etween midnight and dawn, Mr. and Mrs. Green were awakened by the cries of an in fant and going out on the front porch a basket was found con taining a white baby boy, seem ingly about three weeks old. There were a number of articles of clothes in the basket, this wardrobe being of a nice tex ture of goods. The clothing bore no marks by which the identity of the child should be established. Georgia's Dry Counties. Augusta Chronicle. There are eighty-two dry counties in Geoigia counties in which no State, county or muni cipal licenses are issued where the sale is supposed to be estop ped by law. In these eigbty-two counties the United States gov ernment has issued 422 licenses. showing at least that many blind tigers.
