As agreed bv the represeota
tives of Gastou and Ltncolu
counties, who met at the Court
House in Lincolnton last Mon
day, the survey was made Tues
day and Wednesday to establish
a starting point for the re-survey
of the line between Lincoln and
Gaston Counties. The work was
begun Tuesday and came to
1 suddeu eud Wednesday when
the suveyors made the discovery
that an air line due South 4 1-2
miles from the Lincoln Court
House, as had been previously
agreed upou, carried the line
2303 feet and 6 inches beyond
the present traditional line be
tween the two counties.
The survey was mad liy Dr.
R. A. Yoder and Mr. T. L.
Bandy, representing Lincoln
comity and 'Squire J. Riser and
Mr. Juo. I4. Leeper representing
Gaston county. It seems that
theieareno permanent markings
to indicate this county line, and
all that is at present known of
the line is what those who live
near the supposed line say about
it. One man thinks the line
goes between his house and the
spring, and another believes it
to be behind his barn between
tne well and tne cnicken coop

kaanoke Time1;.
There is au interesting tem
perance lecture in the classified
advertisement page of tbe
American Press, the weekly
bulletin issued bv the Associa
tion which furnishes ready-made
"plate" matter to the smaller
papers. In the last number of
that paper thirty-six news
papers and printing offices ad
vertise for help wanted, and
thirty-three persons advertise
lor positions wanted, ui tue.se,
twelve of the advertisements for
help especially specify that the
applicant must De sooer, or no
booze-fighter;" three are for
women, (who would presumably
be sober anyway,) and a large
share of the remainder specify
that the applicant must be "re
liable," must have references as
to "character," or other state
raents obviously intended to
mean that he must be sober.
Two cf the advertisements also
require that applicant shall not
be a smoker.
Of the thirty-three applicants
for jobs, fifteen specify that they
are sober, two are women, and
most of the remainder announce
themselves as "strictly reli
able," or offer references which
nobody but a sober man would
be likely to pet.
Among the advertisements,
the following are extracts from
the most extraordinary:
"Wanted. L,ady and gentle
man compositors at once; no
boozers need apply."
"Machinist operator wants day
light place. Address, with best
wages, sobei, etc.
This is the newspaper and
printing business, in which per
iodic drunkenness was once so
common as to be almost a quali
fication for acceptance. Now
half the people who advertise
for help or jobs expressly de
mand sobriety, or recommend i
themselves as having it, and the
other half imply the same quali
fication. In some other lines of employ
ment the requirement is even
more rigid. Railroads arc re
quiring trainmen to be not mere
ly sober, but total abstainers.
The same demand is also made
on operators of all sorts of rapid
or dangerous machinery'! or men
required to be prepared. at any
moment to meet on emergency
as firemen, policemen and train
dispatchers. : And the require
nlents of absolute sobriety at all
times, on and off .'duty, , has, be
come the commonest standard
of business lifer and professional
lesponsibihty. Hie only man
who is at liberty to get drunk
when he pleases is the roust
about, whose place in the world
anybody can take.
It is the temperance of practi
cal business. In these modern
days we are all so dependent on
each other that none of us can
afford to have any others fail to
keep up their end. When the
drinker hurts nobody but him
self, society managed to afford
to let him get drunk. Now that
society is .so interlocked that the
disarrangement of part disarti
culates the whole, intemperance
simply cainiot be afforded. And
therefoie, the whiskey or drink
problem is working out its own
solution.

famous expe.liti in they learned that
the native lii'limis of Oregon had for
many years found lumps of beesrwax
on the pandy shores.
Beeswax is rract!eally Indestrucdblo
la vater. but these pieces had pounded
la the snrf until Uiey wre black and
battered almost loyond recognition.
In 1S14 one Henry, engaged In the
fur trade, wrote n nreotint of finding
nmseea of this wax. The pieces were
scattered over n wide stretch of coast
and were now covered, now uncovered,
by the blowing sand. Some of th
lumps were softened Into all shnnes
cud sizes by the heat of. the sun snd
bleached nearly white. Others wer
square and stamped with strango characters.
In 1895 a Mr. Howell. wtalVlns on tha
beach, saw something exposed In the
Band. It proved to be flie corner of
some large squares of beeswax weigh
ing several tona. Many smaller blocks
were also found, all bearing the stamp
ed letters. "I II S." Besides the squares
of wax, quantities of large candle
were discovered. In looking up th
matter It was learned that as far back,
as records ran- these tapers bad been,
found with the wax on tSs shore.

but there are no actual marks to
go by.
l ne suvevors all agreed on
the correctness of the line, as
surveyed Tuesday and Wedne
day, and upon the figures, 2303
feet and 6 inches South of the
present traditional line. Find
ino; this discrepancy, the Gaston
representatives decided to stop
with the survey until theyTiave
time to confer further with their
county othcials. The matter
will again be taken up the 2nd
Monday in November.
If this new survey establishes
the line strictly according to the
provisions of the legislative acts
governing the survey it looks
very much like Lincoln county
will acquire a very attractive
slice of territory from Gaston
county. The new line would
probably give us Alexis, High
Shoals and Cherryville.
AJie act ol tne legislature in
18-17 dividing Lincoln into two
counties, Latawba and Lincoln,
fixed the hue between toese two
counties at a point 1 1-2 miles
north of Lincolnton to run due
east and west. Lincoln county
then extended from the above
mentioned line to the South
Carolina line. A subsequent
act of the Legislature in 1847
still further divided Lincoln
county so as to form the present
county of Gaston.
This Act of 1847 fixed the
northern boundary of Lincoln
county 4 miles north of the line
established in 1843, which is the
present northern boundary line,
5 1-2 miles north of the Lincoln
Court House, and the Gaston
boundary line was fixed at a
point 6 miles due South from
the line established in 1843. In
other words, 4 12 miles due
South from the Lincoln Court
House.
As the matter now stands it
seems that the question of loca
tion of the line hinges on just
one point. I hat point is
whether the survey shall be
made on a horizontal line 44
miles South of the Lincoln
court house, or if the line shall
be run according to the topog
raphy of the county. In the
absence of other specifications
the scientific surveyor would
naturally, run an air line.
looks now as if Gastou county
will have to "cough up" some
territory to Lincoln.

wuu do DacKing except his own
honesty, sobriety and devotiou
to his work, he spent bis eve
nings in the libraries of New
York fitting himself bv constant
study for whatever higher
position there might possibly be
abead of him. It was but a
short time before his efficiency
brought a voluntary offer of an
lucrease ot salary to $I2U0 a
year. When he had been con
nected with this one company
for four years the general super
intendent, who was managing
the construction of the largest

involving the expenditure of a
great many millions of dollars,
resigned to take a position else
where. He was asked to find a
successor, and he recommended
this young Southern man, then
23 years of age. The owner
said that he was too young to be
given -such responsibility, but
the superintendent said he knew
more about the business and
was more fitted to handle it than
any other man in the concern.
And so at 23 he was advanced
and given charge of the con
struction of this great plant and
his salary advanced to $7000 a
year. A year or two later one
of tbe great manufacturing con
cerns of the country which sup
plied a large part of the material
for the construction of this plant
became so much impressed with
the business ability and efficiency
of this young man that after con
siderable persuasion they
induced him to resign and take
entire management of their con
cern, which employs over 1000
skilled mechanics and carries on
large business operations
throughout this country and
abroad, offering him -as an in
ducement a salary of $10,000 a
year and an interest in the busi
ness. At 27 years of age. or
eight years after -he left his
Southern home, with no equip

who struggled jn his early life
to provide for him such educa

now finds in this boy a devotion
to her and his brothers and sis

The Manufacturers Record
tells this story without usine
ames in order to emphasize the
fact that efficiency, honor and
evotion to every duty still find
their reward, and likewise to
point to the fact that this case
but illustrates that the opportun
ities for young men were never
greater than today. People' talk
about the lack of opportunity,
about the inability of young men
to find advancement unless
backed by wealth and powerful
friends, but this case, and it is
but an illustration of hundreds
of others, proves that opportu

the boy's own character is worth
in tbe struggle for advancement
far more than money or rich
friends on whom to rely.
How lo Help Newspapers.
Richmond Times-Dispatch. ; -,
Newspapers would be able to
work more reforms if their
readers would lend a - helping
band. Suppose that whenever
a newspaper proposed something
about forty-hve millions ot peo
pie which is not so bad. It will
probablv be found, wheu the
census bulletin co es out, that
the ratios of 1890 were main'
tamed in l'JUU. la recent years
we have had a large Immigration
of Italians, including, it wo ild
seem, a good many that are not
deshrable. The Italians are very
useful here, and the good ones
are very welcome. But average
Italians, good as they are, do
not hejfji much in keeping down
tbe- murder' ratio. They have
very obstinate ideas on that sub'
ject. we read that only one
European country has' ever had
a worse murder record -than ours
and that is Italy. We read, too,
that there was very lately dying
at Pordbam Hospital, New
York, an Italian who bad been
kicked nearly to death by some
of his countrymen. Amputa
tion was urged upon him to save
his life, but he declined, say
ing: "If I live to get out, I
shall kill niv assailants and then
I will die in tbe electric chair,
I might as well die now!" One
may admire his reasoning and
sympathize with his feelings,
but Italians of his sort do not
help our murder statistics.
Mole Was Mortgaged.
Atnzi K.irkpatrick, colored, a
denizen of Seversville, a suburb
of Charlotte, did not find Gas
tonia just exactly like be had
pictured it in his mind; it didn't
turn out to be the health resort
he was looking 'for. Amzi
meandered ever from Mecklen
burg Friday afternoon on a mule
which he sought to sell. At
McArthur's store, near the Avon,
he offered to dispose of tbe mule
to some one, his 'price being
$100. This was too high for the
prospective buyer, so Amzi kept
going down till he reached $25,
when the bystanders suspicioned
that something was wrong.
Policeman Hicks was near. He
arrested tbe negro but the latter
wrenched loose and eudeavored
to get tbe officer's pistol.' In the
tussle that followed the officer
shot Amzi, the bullet striking
him in the back but not inflict
iug . a serious wound. Com
munication with Charlotte
brought out the .fact that the
mule belonged to Leslie Kirk
patrick, an uncle of Amzi, and
that Mr. J. C. Rebman, o f
Seversville, held a mortgage on
it. Yesterday Leslie Kirk
Patrick came to Gastonia and got
his m u I e. Amzi was re
