Fifty-years ago yesterday, on Au gust 17, 1858, the first message was flashed across the Atlantic on tjhe telegraphic cable. It was a message from Queen Victoria to President .Buchanan, and on the following day the entire country celebrated the wadding of the old world to the new by this slender thread of Instantan eous communication. It a re markable fact that within these fif ty yean from. the establishment of Intercontinental communication by —^~wlre, the wireless telegraph has come to completion and ,1a now well eatab & lished' aa a means of communication - much-cheaper, and fully aa reliable as the old. How wonderful the pro gress of these past fifty years, the moat fruitful In every form of ma terial advancement of any half-cen tury In the world's history. Who dares predict what wonders the re mainder of the twentieth century may see T No death or recent occurrence has come aa a greater shock to the peo ple of Western North Carolina, and Indeed of the whole State, t^an that of Ju|ge Frederick Moore, which oc ■ ■ occurred at his home In Asheville last Friday night. Judge Moore l; l. was attacked by fever while holding court at Bakersvllle only two weeks before his death, but Insisted on fin ishing the term, and when he return ed to his home the disease was we 11 * developed. v He was a man of splen did physique, as will be remember ed by those who attended the last term of Oaaton Superior Court, over which he presided, but doubtless his unwillingness! to adjourn court be fore completing the term on account of hla Illness was responsible for his untimely death. The Asheville Cite ■ f" It has become an established fact that MPHCES WHEAT FLAKE CELERY FOOD is the "best food for growing children, invalids and the aged. It is made from the whole wheat berry, celery infused, so making it the food for all classes, as it feeds the blood, the nerves, and prevents constipation. B IO cents a package. Far tala by all Oraaara Izen pays the following high tribute to Judge Moore's character as a cit izen and as a judge: ‘‘As a citizen a lawyer and a judge he was held in the highest of esteem and admira tion. Of flawless private character and of unusual legal ability, he graced the high position to which his merits as a young man had ele vated him and his lovable personali ty endeared him to thousands of friends. Pew men in public life in the State measured so well up to his standard, because he was a well rounded man, capable, conservative, kindly, considerate of the rights of all, an exemplar of the highest citi zenship and manhood.” We were surprised to learn in a conversation with Superintendent Wray, of the city graded schools, a few days ago, that some difficulty is experienced in finding homes In pri vate families in the city for the lady teachers of the graded schools who come from other places. This is a matter, it strikes us, in which every citizen, and especially those who have children In the schools, should take a lively interest, ^he salaries of the teachers are not large, and that they -should be forced to live at boarding houses at high rates speaks rather poorly of our appreciation of the good work they do for comparatively small compensation. The Gazette would be glad to have those citizens who are willing to take one or more , 1 * teachers to board in their homes to - % communicate that fact to Superin tendent Wray. #. ; —rf-— S we are most pieasea wiui uom me number and quality of the news let ters sent in for this issue by our cor respondents over the county. They contribute very largely to the news value of the paper end are no doubt of exceedingly great Interest to our subscribers in distant States who formerly lived in the places from which the various letters are dated. This paragraph is written chiefly to express our appreciation of the good work of our correspondents and to remind them of how great, value their co-operation is In making The Ga zette a good county newspaper. The Gazette very much desires to obtain a good correspondent in, every com munity in the county, and if your community is not represented in our columns, this is an invitation to you to send us (n'irom time to time such items as you think would be of in terest to our readers. Protracted Meeting. The protracted meeting at Long preek Baptist church, in which the pastor, Rev. J. A. Hoyle, is being as sisted by Rev. R. D. Carroll, of New ton, la still going with good interest and encouraging results. The meet ing will continue through the re mainder of the week. Olney Picnic. • - By mistake it was .stated in the last issue of The Gazette that the 01 qey picnic would be held on August 29th. 'The correct dAe is next Sat urday, August 22»d. As usual the ladles of the church will sell re freshments for the benefit of the Ol ney cemetery. ' Death of Mrs. C, F. Hall. Mrs.'C. F. Hall died at her home at the Loray Mill last Friday night about 10130 o'clock after an illness of only about a week with malarial fever. The deceased lady was about 46 years of age and is survived by her husband and .five children. She was a member of the Baptist church. Her burial took place at Shiloh cem etery Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Rankin Bereaved. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed J. Rankin was saddened by the death, n.i i « _ a o.ort „ e tkni. little son William Stowe, aged 18 months and' three days. The little one had been sick about a week with gastritis. The funeral services were cdnducted at the First Prgsbyterian church Sunday afternoon at three o'clock by Rev. R. A. Miller, of Low ell, the pastor, Rev. R. C. Anderson, "being out of the city. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in beauti ful Oakwood Cemetery. . —i—■" ■ - --. Tried for Retailing.' Summey Sain and a young man named Yoder, both of whom live near Henry, in Lincoln connty, were tried at Dallas Monday on a charge of having been engaged in the un lawful occupation of selling intoxi cating liquors at Hardin, in this county, last Saturday. They were arrested at Hardin Saturday after noon as they were about to board a train by Deputy Sheriff Boh Rhyne. The evidence showed that they had , brought the liquor to Hardin in glass jars, concealed in a valise, and that Sain bad actually sold it, while Yoder bad poured it out, so that gain's bond was fixed at $100 and Yoder’s at $60. . , --—__ Miss Nannie Carson, of Ptsgah, i spent several days of1 last week in 1 Gastonia visiting Mr. and Mrs. R. W. ! Carson and Mr. and Mrs. Eli Lineber ger. ‘ gGEMONT., fur n Sivniuer Resort [ About 11 Region but netrnleil by tile Kail ' The very name is mountains and coves 3hes, cool and refresh ing air and nights of restful and re storing sleep. In company with t friend The Gazette man spent Sun day at this new summer resort and lie waB charmed with the place. As yet practically undeveloped and un advertised, it is yet the mecca of not a few people who seek rest from noise and strife and close commun ion with nature In all her grandeur. With only one small hotel and a cot tage or two with accommodations for thirty or forty guests, it is not as yet prepared for taking care of anj ffonsiderable crowd of people but, il properly handled and advertised, il will undoubtedly ffsomc day in ths near future be one of Western North Carolina’s moBt popular resorts. Edgemont is the terminus of ths ’Caldwell & Northern Railway which is an extension from Lenoir of ths Carolina & Northwestern Railway. It is 23 miles from Lenoir and hence about 85 miles from Gastonia. Leaving Gastonia on the week-end special faturday evening at 7 o' clock we arrived there about mid night and soon found ourselves sleeping under cover. Just what the elevation of this place is the writer did not learn but it is suffic lently high to ensure cool nights all during the summer and the days are comfortably cool if one keeps in the shade. The hotel here was opened for the first time last summer' and the first cottage was built this sum mer. The'N railroad company has erected a commodious and attract ive little depot and baggage house. A concrete reservoir has been built some little distance up on the moun tain above the hotel which furnishes pure cold water for all purposes. The Edgemont Club is grading a road to property recently purchased on which it expects to erect a com modious and comfortable club house for its members. This will probably be ready for occupancy next season. Between the depot and the hotel runs toe clear swift Wilson creek which is spanned by a suspension bridge. Its waters are as clear as crystal except in rainy weather when they become somewhat murky. Re cently this stream has been heavily stocked by the government with fish and within a season or two fishing wll be a great sport in the vicinity of Edgemont. At this point the Btream is shallow an(l furnishes a meanB for great sport among the' younger folks who delight to wade in its cool crys tal waters. Two miles south of Edgemont is Mortimer, the headpuarters of the Ritter Lumber Company which is operating extensively in that section. Their big plant 8t this point con sumes an amount of timeber that is astounding to the average layman who lives in a section where lumber ing is not known.' This company has a fidme ending at Edgemont which brings the sawed planks from saw mills as far hack in the moun tains as. eight miles. They have flumes also at other points. Al Mortimer there is a hotel and quite a number of nice homes. The tpwn Is lighted by electricity furnished by the company. A point of peculiar interest In this section of the State is Grandfather Mountain which is only about ten miles north of Edgemont. This peak is in the neighborhood of 6,000 feet high and many tourists make their way to Western North Cara ltna for the sole purpose of seeing and climbing this wonderful moun tain. A few miles further on is Blowing Rock, another famous sum mer resort which is reached ordlnar llv Vixr o Inn cr drivfl frnm T i>nnlr Just what the plans of the railroad are' is not known but it is believed that some' time in the future this railroad will be extended on to Blow ing Rock thus putting this isolated paradise within easy reach of the public. DOING THEIR DUTY. Scores of Gastonia Readers Are Learning the Doty of the Kidneys. To filter the blood is the kidneys’ duty. . ‘ When they fail to do this the kid neys are sick. , Backache and many kidney ills follow; Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure them all. Gastonia people endorse our claim. Mrs. J. P. Turner, 286 Loray Mill Bouse, Gastonia, N. C., says: "I ’eel that It Is my duty to recommend Joan's Kidney PIIIb so that others lu^ferlpg from kidney trouble may enow what remedy to use to obtain -elief. This complaint had me in its ;rasp for several years and at times ny condition was serious. Doan's Sidney Pills were finally brought to ny attention and as I had obtained 10 relief from the several remedies had previously used. I procured a >ox at the Williams Drug Co. They trengthened my Sidneys and Im iroved my condition in every-^ay. iince that time I have had no symp om of kidney trouble. Other mem lera of, my family have also used his remedy and the results in each ase have been very satisfactory.” For gale by all dealers. Price SO enta.

Church Expires After Brief Ill ness. Many Gastonians will learn with regret of the death at Yorkvllle, S. C., yesterday evening of Rev. W. C. Ewart. The news was told in the following dispatch to The Charlotfl Observer of this morning: “Rev. William Cameron Ewart. died at his home here this evening, Mr. Ewart had been pastor of Ahe church here since January, 1904/and by reason of his superior ability, ex alted Christian character andl peji sonal magnetism ./von his way to the hearts of the peopiK and his untime ly death is a severe shock to all. A bout three’ weeks ago he wa* granted a month’s vacation by his congrega tion and decided to gpend'^jt at the summer school at jNortbfleld).

Funeral arrangements have not yet-been announced.” - Mr. Ewart reached Qastonfa last Thursday in a state of colllapse and was taken from here to his home on Friday. His condition became stead lly worse and Sunday hope of his re covery waB practically abandoned. Rev. Dr. i. C. Galloway, pastor of tne liastonia a. k. r. cnurcn ana a warm personal friend of the deceas ed, went to Yorkville this morning to conduct the funeral which will be held at 6 o’clock this evening.

Monroe Journal. Esq. J. D. A. Sec rest, who was nominated for'coroner by the Repub licans last Saturday, requests us to say that he will not accept the, nom ination, not that he Is not a Repub lican, for he is and will, if called on to do so, .make some speeches, but he is not seeking the coroner’s office, having had enohgh experience see ing dead folks during the four years he has served in that capacity. Tlie First Bale. According to- Sunday’s Charlotte Observer Mr. J. A. Blakeney, of Prov idence township, Mecklenburg coun ty, Saturday sold the first bale of cotton on that market. This is Mr. Blakeney’s 25th year as the market er of the first bale. Last year he lost the distinction to his neighbor, Mr. Lark Robinson. ■k Craig Declines Judgeship. Mr. Locke Craig, of Asheville, has declined the judgeship on the Super ior Court bench to fili out the unex pired, tefni, rather until the next gen eral election, of the late Judge Fred Moore. Mr. Craig was tendered the vacancy by Governor Glenn, but wir „ J aL. n..__ «. Ohm Jai, ikei U - -—•> - would be impossible for him to ac cept. f file three great industrial nations —England.

Large CrjAd and -Most Pleasant Oc cassioB -at Union Presbyterian Clinyeh Last Saturday. Last Saturday, August 15th. was the'day set for the annual picnic in the grove surrounding Union Pres byterian church, seven miles south M>f Gastonia, and all the elements combined to make the occasion one of the most pleasant that has been enjoyed by the people of that pro gressive and prosperous community for many years. In the first place the location is an "ideal one for such a gathering, the church, which by the way is one of the most beautiful country church es the writer has ever seen* being lo cated In a cool and pleasant grove and surrounded by_ a. broad^Tawn of luxuriant grass. • ' Good weather was another element which 'contributed to the pleasure of the day, for although the tempera ture was high, there were cooling breezes and the heat was not oppres sive. Third and most important, the large crowd of people present were ail on pleasure bent and in a most friendly and congenial mood. There were present many no doubt, who found opportunity there of meeting and greeting friends whom they on ly see- on rare occasions. Appropriate exercises were held in the church about 11 o’clock in the morning, Including an address to the Sunday sohool by the pastor, Rev. G. A. Sparrow, aft^r which came what was to most the chief feature of the day, a sumptuous basket dinner, spread on a. long table under the trees. It is sufficient to Bay that ample justice was done to this feat ure of the day by all the large num her present, and there was greatest abundance of all the good things that one could wish for. In a prettily decorated Booth the ladles of the church served ice cream, lemonaae ana oiaer reiroBuuicmo for the benefit of the building fund, and they were kept busy all the day. very probably realizing a good sum for the worthy cause. A number of Gastonia people .were in attendance, among them being Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Henry, Messrs. A. M. Whitesides. J. H. Williams. W. M. Morris, Charles Moore, Thad Clin ton, Geo. W. Smith,.- Meek Huffstet ler, J. M. Hampton, Dr. H. F. Glenn, Mr. and Mrs. Ell Lineberger. Mias Nannie Carson, and Miss Margaret Whitesides, < -' What is Real Happiness? Indianapdlis Star. Young girls are found everywhere who look with yearning eyes ,and aching hearts upon other girlB who are apparently reveling in the '“good i.mes" from which, for one reason and another, they are shut out. ' The assumption is always that' tho people are. happy who possess what we desire and have not. It is a natural inference, but It Is not al ways right. Under the rich gown beats many a sad heart; the calm and smiling faces hide often deep tre ble and anxiety. In the trains that pass - the country womens door are passengers summoned by death or weighted down by impending calam ity—passengers who look out upon the quiet farm houses as a peaceful and happy heaven. The yoUDg girl so envived by others because of her beauty, her accomplishments and the attentions heaped upon her, may care nothing for what is hers be cause of one thing unattainable and without which life to her seems not worth living. - No, the happiness \of . the world that goes by is not to be judged by appearances. People of ^wealth Splemnly aver that money doe3 not bring unalloyed joy, and conspicuous illustrations presented In .the new* columns in recent months, proje at least that it does not insure bliss. Mary Anderson and Ellen Terry have lately testified that the tri umphs of their profession, the ap plause of the public—and few wom en have raore-Mlid not make them happy. The people who possess what others do not are likely them selves to lack some deeply coveted treasure and go uncomforted be cause it is out of reach. In these days of the world men and women do not wear their hearts upon their sleeves; they go about with Bmiles and brave faces whatever happens, but they are not always to f>e envied because of the light that falls upon them. For each heart whether un der silken bodice or ragged shirt, knoweth its own bitterness, and of bitterness each has had its inevita ble share. > » Joseph Lance was found guilty in Buncombe Superior Court Saturday of manslaughter and sentenced to nine years,in the penitentiary. He shot and killed Alma Green, a young girl, at Buena Vista last December. According to Alfred Henry Lewis, in The Broadway Magazine for Sep tember, the Republicans and Demo crats will Bpend five million dollars on their campaigns this year. The first big campaign money was raised in 1880—$1,000,000 by the Republi cans, and $355,000, by the Demo crats. in 1904, the Republicans raised $5,000,500, against $1,250, 000 by the Democrats. The additional provisions for the Insane at the Raleigh Hospital wilt bring the number that can be accom modated up to over 800. The epil eptic colony will add 600 to this. At the Morganton Hospital 100 more can be accommodated and' this will bring the total there for which pro vision can be made to 1,300. 5 & 10c Store I HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE EN TIRE STOCK OF 5 AND 10 CENT GOOD9 FROM MR.
