' Watched With Interest by
- Many Random Notes Aboot
the Work. '
The operation of layine bitn
Iitbic pavincr is an interesting:
one throughout and many Gas
tonians have been watching the
different processes the past
week very closely. Since Mon
day the sidewalks on each side
of - Main-street between South
and York streets, where the
paving is being laid ' have been
lined with interested spectators.
The crowd has been steady.
When one who has stood for
sometime moves on to his busi
ness or pleasure there is always
somebody to step into bis place
Nor is it altogether an idle curi
osity that draws businessmen,
ladies, boys and girls to watch
this work. It is thoroughly in
terestinf and, even if one asks
no Questions, he is sure to learn
something if he stops only for a
few moments. Every phase
and step of the work is dis
cussed by the bystanders.
From observation it is learned
that there are five steps in the
laying of the bitulithic pave
ment afer the street has been
graded and put into shape for it.
First a bed of crushed stone
about five inches thick is laid
and rolled with the big 12-tou
roller. These rock are ou an
average about the size ot a
guinea egg. Next a tnm coat
of a tar preparation is poured
over tnis oed, Dinamg tne
rocks together and making the
bed stable. The next layer is
made of smaller crushed stone.
sand and tar. mixed in a given
proportion at the plant near tbl
oil mill and put down while it
is still hot and steaming. It is
hauled in wagons, dumped on
board platforms and put down
by eight men who work rapidly
to get it placed while it is. still
hot. In making this prepara
tion at the mixer all of the in
gredients are tboroughlv heated
before the mixing is done. Af
ter it is placed and smoothed
over by means ot a raice tne oig
roller comes along and goes ovtr
it several times, packing it do a d
and leaving the surface pretty
smooth. A thin coat of the tar
preparation is then spread over
this and on top of all fine gravel
is spread by a unique dis
tributor. The whole is then
rolled thoroughly again and we
have the finished bitulithic pave
ment. System is everywhere in evi
dence on the work. Every man
has his plaoe and his work and
ooks to it carefully. By watch
ing the work and taking note of
the clock-like- precision that
prevades" every branch of this
company's work tne averages
business man can get a good
esson in system and learn to ap
preciate more fully its value.
A visit to the p.ant near the
Oil Mill where the composition
a 1 1 r
is mixed and made ready tor
use on the street is worth while.
The reporter found -it of interest
to watch the work going on,
though of course he did not un
derstand the details or ramifica
tions of the machinery and its
work. Every man has his
place there and looks after his
own particular business. A cer
tain portion of rock, sand, tar
and whatever other ingredients
are required, if any, is used and
every load is tested and inspect
ed before it . is sent away from
the plant
It is probable that the block
between South and York streets
will be completed . and opened
for travel by to-morrow. While
this is being finished the re
mainder of k the , street, that is
from South to Oakland avenue,
is being graded and the curbing
is being placed preparatory to
paving. .It is understood that
South street will also be paved
from the cityhall to the first
railroad track near the depot.
This will enable people passing
through on the trains to see that
Gastonia has paved streets and
will be a good - advertisement
for the town. The work will re
quire several weeks yet to com
plete; the contract calls forits
completion by December 1st and
it will probably ' take all . the.
time to get it finished. '
Work to Begin Monday.,
Work bta the foundation of the
Dunn Manufacturing Company's
plant near the Clara Mill will
begin Monday. President C. B.
Armstrong has the . plans and
specifications all in hand, pie
paratory to pushing the work to
completion. .' Mr. J..E. McAllis

work. Already several cottages
have been built for operatives
for this mill. . - -

LIKE AN OLD L0VC SONG.
The Sweetest Girl in Dixie a
True American Play, By a
Southern Woman.
Why is "The Sweetest Girl in
Dixie" such an object of interest to
the theatre manageis and the theatre
patrons? Why was this play a sue
cess last season when so many others
failed? Why do managers ask for
return dates and oner tlie choicest
time and most liberal terms? Be
cause when all is said "the play is
the thine." Heart interest, a
hackneyed term, but it ia the yily
one that can explain the popularity
of this piece.
Truly it possesses that one touch
of nature that makes the whole
world kin and with its perfect blend
ing of humor and pathos it is a fine
example of realism in dramatic art.
lt has been likened to a sweet
violet blooming in a bed of holly
hocks, a play with that quaint home
ly pathos that winds around your
heart like the strains of an old love
song.
Public interest has not been
aroused by any spectacular or sensa
tional "Exoloits" of the author, or
by advertising any of the accidental
"features"' by which various attrac
tions have been given great vogue
It is encouraging to note that the
success of this play has been made
along legitimate lines, appealing to
the better side of the theatre goiny
public, which proves beyond a doubt
the merit of this piece, which was
written by an American woman for
American playgoers.
This attraction is announced as
the attraction at the opera house
Nov. 4 and it will undoubtedly be
greeted by a large and appreciative
audience.
