SEPT. 17, 1907 WILL 0AST0NIA LOSE IT? ; The Gazette has all alone favored the establishment in 4 Gastonia of an up to date hos ' pita! equipped with modern ap paratus and conveniences and has let no opportunity slip to urge upon the citizens of the town the great necessity of such an institution in our midst Dome montns ego se veral mass meetings were held, committees were appointed, cart ful estimates were made as to cost of con struction and opt-rat ion of such an institution an i a campaign was started to raie $12,000 for this purpose. A!I but $700 of this amount his been raised. The committee appointed to so licit subscriptions to stock will hold a meeting; to night in the city ball and we take this oc rasian to urge the people of Gastonia to attend this meeting and to give their support to the movement. Eleven thousand, three hun dred dollars has been subscribed. Can Gastonia affjrd to let this opportunity slip for the small consideration of $700? If the present movement fail, it will be years before the mat ter can be agitated again with success. Are you willing to let it fail? There is a large field here for a hospital. Enough patients go to hospitals in other towns every year to support an up-to-date in stitution here. Is there any reason why this should be the case? Gastonia is progressive in ev ery other respect. Are you will ing as a citizen to sit idly by and let the town miss a grand op portunity to take another for ward step? Are vou afraid it will fail? lac men who have investigated the conduct and cost of similar institutions elsewhere are tbor ii- ? , . . uugciy convincea mat it can soon be made self-sustaining. wc an Deiieve n win lau, o course it will fail. If we all be lieve it will succeed and work with might and maiu'to that end it will succeed. It can sue ceed, it will succeed if Gastonia will rise as a unit. and say it shall, it must, succeed. Have you done your part? If not why delay longer?

M. Gaston, the foreman, submitted to Judge Ferguson the grand jury's report in which several recommenda-' Hons were made. The report is given in full below, Some sur prise was occasioned bv the -a. u recommendation that "a new court house, with all modern improvements, be built without dclav." As uoted in this report the offices of the clerk of the court and the register of deeds are very badly crowdedi and, for lack of space, the records and other valuable papers have not the proper protection. The re port iu full is as follows: To His Honor. Judee Feriruson: We, the grand jury of Gaston couuty, respectfully submit the following report, towit: We visited the county nil and found even-thing in proDer order. We recommend that the prisoner's department of the jail be properly lighted and also recommend that another cell be added to give more room, which is badly needed. We find also that the guttering in front of the jail needs repairing. Our committee visited the cdnvict camp and found every thing in good shape; also saw the convicts at work on the roads and found them in good condition and well cared for. Nothing to recommend. We visited the county home and found evervthine in pood shape. The inmates seemed to be well cared for and well treated. We recommend that a telephone be placed for the convenience of the keeper of the home as it is very much needed. This was recommended last term. We have examined the clerk's and the register's offices and found them very much.crowded, so much so that valuables are piled on the floors and every nook and corner filled. We see that room is badlv needed. These offices are kept neat and clean and well arranged under the circumstances. We recommend that a new court house, with all modern improvements, be built without delay. A much larger building than the present one is very badly needed. Respectfully submitted, R. M. Gaston.

Manager A. E. Moore met the strikers and the employes of the mill in Bradley. Hall last night and made a short talk in the course of which he told them that the mill had decided some months ago to reduce the hours on or aoout November 1 to '63 and on the first . of January to 60 hours per week. By way of a concession he told them that the management would make the number of hours 62 instead of 63 on November 1. . In an interview with a irentle- man closely identified with the management of the mill v in an official capacity, this morning, The Gazette learns that the . . a reat issue ot the strike was not forshpfter hours, as the man agement had never denied that it was their intention to make the hours shorter- The real cause and object Or the strike, which, by the way, the walkout did not remedy, was to secure the reinstatement of Messrs Belk, Puckett and Hare, three employes of the mill who "bad been discharged. It is under stood that there were at no time during the strike more than 200 active strikers, though there were probably as many as 700 operatives out, many of them because of excitement. All is again serene and the ma jority of the operatives are working at their old places. HAMPTON C0UHT. 6trU ef tht Hauntod English ' V'' i.--'; Palaca. .

A reasonable probability la the only certainty. ' . Every man makes a good husband for awhile. The clothes don't make a profession al nurse by a long shot . Occasionally imposition travels around under the garb of friendship. When a man says money will do anything, that settles it; he hasn't any. The boy who plays truant from school never has as much fun as he anticipated. Every day a man submits to some Injustice he vowed yesterday he would never stand. About the toughest thing that can happen to a man Is to go contrary to his wife's judgment and then make a failure.

"If anybody needs to be convinced that New Yorkers are a nervous lot. just let him peep under dining room tables at mealtime and see the posi tion of the feet and be will have all the proof he wants," remarked the pro prietor of a popular restaurant "Not one person In a hundred sits with his fact planted squarely on the floor while eating. Some twist their feet around the legs of tables and chairs, some sit with them crossed, others rest the feet on the tips of the toes, while still others bear their whole weight down on the heel. Since It Is only the flatly planted foot that indicates an equable temperament, It Is easy to see what a nervous, irresponsible crowd the aiy of diners out really Is.
