' .t Finnic Goodwin, Mr. , PA VINO PBOQRCSSES. Finishing; Touches Beinf Pot on Block Between Sooth and York Streets Tho Operation ' 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 ter has the contract for the brick work.

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. Propnt-Peters. Mr. Canner Propst and Miss Mattie Peters were married Wednesday night at 7:45 o'clock at the Ozark Mill. The cere mony was performed by Rev. Edwin L. Bain, pastor of Main Street Methodist church.
