Hitchcock, according to the —r'~' report, will remain the nominal head, although the active chairman will be . Senator Murray L. Crane, the chairman, It Is said, was relying on Inexperienced men over the country to keep him In touch with conditions. The report further states that a new method of raising funds will be ' adopted. All of which would seem to Indicate that our friends, the Re publicans, are getting very much frightened over the situation—and with very good reason, we believe. With the exposure ot Foraker’s con junction with the Standard Oil Com pany another set hack is given to the Republican campaign. Mr. Bryan goes steadily on gaining ground and the. people of the country continue to contribute to the' fund for carrying ' on the campaign. ' Mrs: B. M.-Purvlance and son, Mr. .

Mr. Jonas Jenkins, a well-to-do farmer residing east of Gastonia and one of Gaston county's oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, was found dead in his bed this morning at 4 o’clock by his wife. Mrs. Jen kins was up at 3 o’clock to minister to her husband, who was unwell, and left him sleeping when she returned to her bed. When she awoke at 4 o’clock and went to see if he wanted anything she found him cold in death. Mr. Jenkins bad been in failing health for many months and was be ginning to • get feeble under the weight of years but had not been confined to his bed. He bad been able to get about and his family and friends did not anticipate any ser ious or sudden change in his condi tion. Death was due directly to heart disease probably superinduced by the infirmities Incident to old age. Deceased was a native of the coun ty, having been born July 22, 1829, on the farm where he died. Witii the exception of a few years spent in Gastonia and the time he was In the Confederate Army, he had spent his entire life at the old home place. Mr. Jenkins was twice married, his first wife being Miss Fanny Lineber ger. She died many years ago and sixteen years ago he married the sec ond time, his second wife being Miss Katie Carpenter, a daughter of the late Jacob Carpenter. As a result of the first union the following children survive: W. H. Jenkins, J. Grier Jenkins, John, L. Jenkins, Mrs. Albert Smith, Mrs. T. B. Terrell and Mrs. C. B. Armstrong, all of this county. Two other daughters, Mrs. C. M. Nolen and Mrs. Monroe Rhyne, <Bed several years ago. As-a result of the second union two children, Lucy and Sloan, survive, together with his widow. One sister, Mrs. Margaret Moss lives in South Caro llna. - , i .

Interment will fol low In Oakwood Cemetery. Mr. Jenkins was - a Confederate veteran and did valiant service for the South during the Civil.war. In his death the Confederate Veterans Association of Gaston county loses Its fourth member within ten days. Not only his comrades and .friends of war days but a large number of other friends and relatives mourn his death. TOWN AND COUNTY. --It is understood that Belmont is another town where the Democrats have' organized a flourishing club. Other towns In the copnty should fol low suit. —Friday night, the 25th, there will be a Joint discussion of the is sues of the present political cam paign between Mr. Cicero Harris, president of the recently organized Democratic Oteb. and Mr. W. F. Huggins, president of the Republi can Club. It promises to be an in teresting affair and the attendance will doubtless be large. —At the Victor shop in the Beal block one may hear the Bryan and Taft records of which much has been said and heard. This Is the first campaign In which the phonograph has figured and this method of dis seminating both Democratic and. Re publican views on public questions Ik bqth novel and effective. The Victor Talking Machine Company, for which Mr. Perry Glenn Is local agent, has Secured records contain ing speeches on the tariff, railroad regulation, Imperialism and other pertinent political topics from Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft. In Gastonia, the Bryan records are, of course, the moss popular and more of them have been gold than those by Mr. Taft. Mr. Glenn is always* glad to play these records for those who would like to hear them. They are valua ble records to have and many owners of Victor machines are purchasing mem. ( —Messrs. J. B. and J. L. Beal are preparing to erect a new building In the Beal block on West Air Line street. It will be a brick structure, 21 by 65 feet and two stories high. The lower floor will be occupied by the Gastonia Planter Company, the front as offices and the rear as a wardroom. Tbe second floor will probably be used - as a hall. The contract has been ldt to Messrs. J. E. and R. L. McAllister and work men are now digging for the founda tion. —Hare you contributed to the Bryan campaign fund? If not, do It cow. Republicans are . trying 'to make ;he Ignorant bellevjft that Ice Trust ifierman candidate for Vlce-Presl lent, was the author, of the Sherman tnti-Trust law. It was drafted by ' he late Hon.

Gazette's Campaign Contribution Fund increasing — Check Sent Committee tor $62.75—The Bry an But k n. Since the first of September—ttre Bryan fund has reached the sum of $63.76, a check for that amount less $1, which was contributed yesterday, having Iteen mailed to Mr. W. C. Wetmore, chairman of the finance committee of the Democratic Nation al Comihittee at Chicago, Saturday night by Mr. R. B. Babington, of the contribution committee of the Bry an-Kitcbin Club of Gastonia. It is to be hoped that this sum will be largely increased within the next two or three weeks. The election is not far distant and the sinews of war are more valuable now than they will be when the campaign is nearly over. t Yesterday The Gazette received a letter from Mr. Wetmore saying that he had shipped to this paper 60 Bry » an buttons, one to each contributor; others will be sent if needed. He adds, “We take thiB occasion to say to your readers, through you, that the Democracy of the nation is grate ful to them for the patriotic response to the appeal for funds. Nearly all the information received here is most encouraging for Democratic ^victory in November.” Over J.000 newspa pers In the United States are raising funds for this great cause—the peo ple’s cause. ” So far nearly all the funds con tributed to this cause In the county have come frpra residents of Gasto nia and The Gazette takes this oc casslon to say that contributions from any section of the county will be most welcome and will be ac knowledged in the editorial column of this paper. Every town and com munity id Gaston should contribute something to this cause. Any mon ies handed to our correspondents in the towns of the county will be for warded to us and acknowledged. Now is the time to send it in; the sooner you contribute the more good your dollar will do. , MUST BELIEVE IT When Well-Known Gastonia People Tell It So Plainly.

C., says: "I consider Doan’s Kidney Pills the best of all kidney remedies and have no hesi tancy In recommending them. My kidneys were In a disordered condi tion for years and caused me to suf fer Intensely from dull pains In the small of my back. I finally heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, and as I had previously used several remedies with no leneflt, I procured a box at the Williams Drug Co. They soon cured me and since that time, I have remained entirely free from kldiey c'omplaint. My wish is that every one Buffering from kidney trouble would learn of Doan’s Kidney Pills."

Mr. Nathan Straus, the big New York merchant, who has been in Eu rope for some .months promoting his planB for pasteurized milk, has re turned home. He said upon his ar rival that he would devote all the time he can spare for the next two months to secure Bryan’s election. The Republican attempt to claim a monopoly In “protecting business” does not fool such successful busi ness men as Mr. Straus. It will not root others, either. LITTLE SCHOOLGIRL. Baltimore Sun. Little schoolgirl, here you are, Pigtails tied with bow and star; Little BChoolglrl, there you trip In your dainty gingham slip, kpron ruffled, pockets wide, ind a luncheon at your side: Little schoolgirl, well-a-day. In the lily-land of play! Little schoolgirl, there you go, lesttant, and sad and slow; Jells are ringing, and you heed Jut reluctantly. Indeed; i'or the summer has been sweet, Lnd the dance Is on your feet: Little schoolgirl, never mind, Time Is swift and youth is blind! kittle schoolgirl, though we seem >ld, and old, and old as dream, lere we go from life to life *o the school of stress and strife, .earning something every day 'rom the things that turn us gray: Little schoolgirl, no one’s wise Till he’s suffered and he dies! State ownership of railroads is the subject of a report recently issued by a British commission. Forty one countries yre dealt with, the number being divided into four groups. The first group contains the coun tries which own and work a part or the whole of the railroad system: India, Canada, New South - Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tas mania, Victoria, Western Australia, New Zealand,.- Cape Colony, Natal and the Transvall and Orange River Colonies, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, France, the various States of the German Empire, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Nor way, Portugal, Rumania, Russia, Servla, Slam, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey. The second group'is composed of the countries where the State, while owning rallroadB, leases them to private corporations. These are Newfoundland, Nicaragua, and the Netherlands. In Brazil and In Bul garia the State works some of the railroads It owns, but leases othdrs. In the third group are the coun tries where the State has given as nloinnAA fn vaaiIb nrkloli a pa In nrl_ vate ownership: Denmark, Prance Greece, Luxemburg, Russia and Spain! ' In Prance, Greece and Spain concessions are given (or these roads for a certain number of years and at' tbe end of that time they pass into the hands oi the State. In Norway some roads belong jointly to the State and the local authorities. In the letter which ex-President Cleveland is said to have written there is but one or two statements that sound like Mr.^Cleveland. One .is: “It is not likely that tbe business interests of the country will be dis turbed by the victory of either par ty.” The attempt to make the vo-_ ters believe that Bryan’s election would injure business Is the last gasp of Republican jeremiads. One of the things business needs is Dem ocratic economy. The Federal tax on every, man, woman and child is now $12 annually, and it increases every year under Republican rule. There is only one way to end extrav agances and thus protect business men: Elect Bryan. Senator Nathan Bay Scott indulg ed in a fist fight with a fellow West Virginian, who said that West Vir ginia senatorsblps are sold at public auction. But Senator Stephenson only last week paid $850,000 for the Republican nomination for Senator in Wisconsin. What doejs it cost the other millionaires in tbe upper cham her. V N An Italian nobleman, who is a widower for the seventh time, has erected a castle vttth seven towers at Biarritz, one in memory of each of his wives, Flying Machine Wrecked. Orville Wright’s flying machine met with a tragical mishap at Fort Meyer, near Washington, 6. C., as the result of which Lieutenant Thos. E. felfrldge tyas killed, and Wright himself, was painfully injured. Shortly after the flying machine went up with Wright and Selfridge on board, a propeller blade broke and the machine wag precipitated to the ground. Both men fell under the debris. Selfridge died a few hours later. Wright is expected to recover. IN THE UNO OF FLOWERS. Her. Dr. J. C. Galloway’Spends Ten Days in Florida Looking After New Church Work—Talks Inter estingly of His Trip. Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway, pastor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian "church, returned Saturday morning from Florida' where he spent ten days or more in the interest of the home mission board of his church. Sunday morning , he preached a strong and interesting sermon to his congregation from the text, “What will a man give in return for his soul?” He was heard with pleasure by a large audience. At several points in Florida the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church has organized congregations and this work is under the Supervis ion of the home mission of which Dr. Gall_oy£ay"ig''3!wflBin. In Tampa,-the"ffrlnclpal town where this "Church is undertaking new work, there has been a congregation for some time but they have been with out a building of their own. At present work is nearly completed on a neat new church edifice which this congregation will occupy at an early date. A splendid location In the city was secured and the building, while not costly or Imposing, is sufficient for present demands and when the growth of the work in Tampa de mands it a larger building will be erected. Rev. Philip Cain is pastor of this church,, which was organized In Now. 1907. The city of Tampa, says Dr. GallQ; way, is a progressive and wide-awake town and has a most promising fu ture. Here there are practically nc house flies, few mosquitoes and the atmosphere, in the shade, is not suf ficiently high to make the weathei uncomfortable. It is in the centre of the great phosphate-producing lands. ''Within a radius of Aft} miles or less from Tampa there are numbers of large phosphate works, some of which Dr. Galloway visited, His discretion of fhe manner in which this mineral is mined and pre pared for shipment to the marketi is intensely interesting. A fact ol interest is that Tampa is now on the frost line and most of the successful raising of bananas and oranges 1( south of that city, while years age the frost line was many miles north of Tampa. Another great industry in Florida is that'iof. lumbering and one goes for miles without seeing anything but great fields of stumps where the pines have been felled clean. Jacksonville, says Dr. Galloway, is the greatest whiskey town he hai ever seen, the number of bars and wholesale whiskey (houses having been greatly increased since the bus iness was outlawed in Georgia. While waiting between trains there, wlBhlng to do some writing, he start ed out to buy some paper. The first six blocks be traveled from the de pot, were solid with retail and whole sale liquor houses. In the seventh block he found a drug store where he was able to buy the paper. In these six blocks there are, he says, about 100 ltquor establishments. LESSON OF THE FLOODS. If tile National Government Does _Not Act-Soon llnrPlUfiafee Will be Incaiciiable. ' New York Journal of Commerce. .. The disastrous floods in the Caro linas and Georgia are a reminder of the consequences of destroying for ests In the mountains and wooded re gions in which streams have their sources. While the ridges are for est-covered the- rainfalls, however heavy, swell the stream gradually and give them a fairly dquable flow. They seldom rise so as to become destructive of property and a peril to life. But cut off the woods and leave great bare spaces of rock and exposed soil, and an unusual storm comes 1 torrents sweep down, over flow -the land, ruin crops, submerge villages and cause disastrous loss and misery to thousands. The precise extent to which these Southern floodB are to be attributed to indiscriminate lumbering and the destruction of forests in the Appa lachian Mountain region it is im possible to ascertain or to estimate, but this may have made all the dif ference between the excess of water flowing harmlessly away through moderately swollen streams and ris ing suddenly and swiftly Into uncon trollable and destructive -flood. The loss of property is reckoned In mil lions of dollars and the suffering and privation' are npt to be computed in figures. Aside from this, the spas modic and irregular flow of the streams all through the year as the result of forest devastation Inter feres seriously with their utility for water power. Whatever the exact relation be tween these Southern floods and for 38t destruction tne general iact is □disputable, that the denuding of mountain ridges and cutting away :be woods about our river sources las done and is doing Incalculable lamage to the country. It is an In jury against which the people cannot jrotect themselves- by individual ef 'ort. They must act collectively hrough their legislative and go'vern nental authorities. They must act n their several 8tates, but the Inter ists affected are not confined within State boundaries and some of the □assures necessary do not come with n State jurisdiction. A national lolicy of forest prservation is at least a important as that of irrigation of .rid lands and the reclamation of wamp regions. Every year destruct ve floods present an argument to ';V "rv INVEST1GAT We can stand'investigation, especially atom Come and see our new hosiery for men whir ever placed on the market because it is mad &tfmurom TOE*8?

While our loved one was young and fair; And took her away, ere sorrow and Strife, Had furrowed her brow with care. She was dear to us all, and we loved her too; 4 And the future 'for her, seemed bright; ' But the divine Ruler of heaven so true, Doeth all His work aright. iki iifslra /4M wa think when fthfl went away. To visit her friends for awhile. But that sh'd return at no distant day, Wearing her same sweet smile. Alas! we’Waited, and still we must wait; No message now they bring; Her dwelling place is Inside the gate, In the presence of the King. ’Tis lonely without her, in this world below; ’ And we yearn to grasp her dear hand. Though she ne'er can come, 'tis a comfort to know ' That we too, reach that blest land. r. Let us be resigned to the will of Him, Who the bitter cup did drain; And know that the loss we now most feel, Is her eternal gain'. A FRIEND. Dallas, N. C. " Mr. Herman Rldder, of Now York, editor of the Staats Zeitung. who has recently Waited Mr. Bryan, ii quoted as saying: “From careful observation I am now convinced that the Democratic National ticket will be elected this fall. I told Mr Bry an so. This opinion Is not Cased on wild hopes, neither does desire sway me In forming it, bnt it is the result of a careful canvass made by myself and many friends since the Denver convention adjourned. There will be many surprises when the result of the vote is known. I have found in every section of the country Bitter resentment against Republicans, a mong members of their own party, because of the attitude of leaders on tho tariff question.” The Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph Herald confirms reports .of big Dem merican women prais Parisian Sage for its peculiar ability to turn harsh, faded lusterleds hair into fresh, beautiful silky and lustrous hair In a few days. Parisian Sage is to-day the favor ite hair dressing and tonic of dis criminating Americans, not because of sensational methods of advertis ing, but because it is the only hair restorer that will do just what it is advertised to do. • It kills the’ dandruff germ and cures dandruff in two weeks. If It doesn't, J. H. Kennedy ft Co., the agent in Gastonia will give yon your mouey back. "I had been troubled with dan druff for live years, but since using Parisian Sage I have not been both ered with it. I only used one-half bottle when I noticed tbe dandruff disappearing. I consider It the beet hair tonic I ever used.”—Mrs. C. B. Morton, 450 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 10, 1908. If you haven’t tried Parisian Sage get a bottle to-day. It is a delight ful dressing.
