From a citizen of the neighbor hood, who was in Yorkville yester day, The Enquirer learns that the progress of work on the Kings Moun tain monument was arrested because of unexpected trouble at the founda tion. The original specifications provided for only four feet of excava tion at.the foundation; but the slate rock under the proposed site proved to be seamy and soft and the engi neer in charge would not permit the erection of such a tall shaft aB is contemplated without going down deeper. The contractors have gone down about 15 feet and have only reached a satisfactory foundation. They now have this deep hole, about 25 feet square, to fill with concrete before they Can begin with the reg ular construction work. The origin al plan was to have the monument ready for unveiling befofe October 7; but the understanding now is that there is no reasonable probability that the monument can be complet uu uv luai umc.

THE MIGHTY POWER OP MI-O-NA Mi-o-na, that extraordinary and perfect stomach tonic, will relieve dyspepsia In twenty-four hours. It will cure, and is guaranteed by J. H. Kennedy & Co. to the readers of The Gazette to cure the most pit iful cases of dyspepsia, If taken ac cording to directions. Mi-o-na tablets not only cure dys pepsia, but all stomach disturbances, such as vomiting of pregnancy, sea or car sickness, and the stomach sickness after excessive indulgence. Mi-o-na cures by strengthening and invigorating the flabby stomach walls, and after a course of Mi-o-na treatment, constipation, if there is any will entirely disappear. Read ‘This from- the president of a New York corporation: “I have been a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia and gastritis for two years. The mose eminent physicians prescribed for me with no effect. I have been absolutely cured by your Mi-o-na tablets. The first one gave me a relief almost Incredible."—Her bert H. Taylor, 501 West 143 Street, New York City. Mi o-na is a most economical treatment—a large box of tablets on ly costs 50 centB at J. H. Kennedy & Co's., and the dyspeptic, nervous or otherwise, who does not give them a trial, is losing an opportunity to regain health. 16-22 SOCIAL.

Statesville, Sept. 8.—What the Statesville motorists have been fear ing has happened. The board of al dermen, which has had the matter under consideration for some time but had not taken action because the members were divided as to the speed rate, has passed a stringent ordiance regulating the speed, etc., of automobiles. The speed limit fixed by the city fathers is five miles an hour over the streets in what is known as the “fire limits” and five miles an hour in turning from one street into another or in crossing any street; and through and over any other street of the city the speed shall not exceed 12 miles an hour. The autos and motor cycles are also required to be provided with good headlights and must keep the lights burning from twilight till dawn when the vehicles are in use. For propelling canal barges, R. W. Thom, of Southport, England, would use internal combustion engines fed with coalgas carried compressed in cylinders. Tests have shown num erous advantages, and the engines and storage cylinders are not half as heavy as steam engines of like pow er and occupy much less space. There are four billion dollars In vested in electric railways in the U nited States. Ohio leads, with Penn sylvania and New York close sec onds. The time is not far distant when all this section of North Car olina will be covered with trolley lines, from town to town. CHERRYVIUE CHAT. Correspondence Of The Gazette. CHERRYVILLE, Sept. 12.—P.

There have can history when an large families could not have cited the household of the White House at an example, for small families have been the rule in the White House, and the census taker in more than one administration, would have been obliged to report, “No family.” Yet only two bachelors have been elected to the presidency, one of these, Grover Cleveland, changed.hit condition by marrying before com pleting his term.

He was the oldest man ever elected to the' presidency. Hayi and Garfield had the next largest families; in the Hayes family were born eight children, and in the Gar field family seven, a large number in each case growing to maturity. President Grant had four children, three sons and one daughter, and one of these sons, Frederick D Grant, is a major general in the army. Abraham Lincoln had foui sons, Robert Todd Lincoln, who be came Secretary of War under Pres idents Garfield and Arthur, alone surviving to maturity. President Johnson had two daughters, Martha and Mary, Martha presiding over the White House during the frequent ill ness of her invalid mother.
