Again has the angel of death in vaded the ranks of the Associate Re formed Presbyterian ministry and removed therefrom one of its prince ly and able men in the person of Rev. Dr. James Boyce. Gastonia feels a double sorrow because of his passing in the prime of manhood. Besides its love for him as a minis ter and as the able and active head of the denomination's college for women the town feels a personal loss because a considerable portion wf his life, was spent here, his fath er, the late lamented Dr. E. E. Boyce, having for a number of years been pastor of the A. R. P. church bere. He had hosts of warm per sonal friends here and to them his ieath brings a heavy weight of sor row. The Gazette joins this host of friends here and elsewhere in ex tending to the family! and brothers and sisters of the deceased its sin cerest sympathy. iBll if lot Beautiful Floors If you hv a hard wood floor In yonr notice. by all meant bring out that rich, subdued lustre, which ia given only by "Tb0 Wax with a Ouarmataan Kasy to apply, requires little care, and economical.

Many counties in the State are of fering large prizes to the boys for the best yields of corn on an acre of land. Why shouldn't Gaston join in the plan. We have the corn lands and the boys and every encourage ment possible should be extended to the latter to induce them to become expert corn growers. The Gazette has received the Jan uary number of the Bulletin of the University of South Carolina which is devoted entirely to the subject of good roads. It contains a number of highly interesting and Instructive articles on this all-important sub ject from the pens of men eminently qualified to speak regarding it. Among the contributors to this number are Mr. E. J. Watson, Prof. W. H. Hand and Mr. D. A. Tomp kins. The foreword is written by Governor M. F. Ansel who "hopes that the day will soon come when very county In South Carolina will begin work for the permanent ira- The Kume Old Story. Yorkville, S. C, Enquirer. The Gastonia News has suspended publication, and the sheriff has seized the plant and fixtures for rent and other debts. The News was es tablished about ten years ago, and eked out a more or le&s precarious existence, until a few months back, when it was changed to a weekly, just preceding the end. It is the same old story of trying to make two blades of grass grow where there was only room for one. The Gazette has always been a respecta ble newspaper, efficieintly managed, and has filled about all the field that was offered to an extent that has left no room for legitimate competi tion. That is about all there is to the story. $25 for One Egg. Charlotte Observer. Those housewives who are com plaining because their grocers charge them from 30 to 40 cents a dozen for eggs will stand aghast when they read of a reward of $25 being offered for the recovery of one hen egg. Such reward, however, has been offered. It seems that one of the eggs recently laid by the famous hen Lady Washington, who is valued at $12,000, has been stolen and the owners of the hen offer a reward of $25 for its return. We do not know how they are going to tell which is the genuine one of the many eggs that are going to be sent In by per sons claiming the reward, but that is their business, not ours.

For the first time in the history of the country a President of the Unit ed States has openly proclaimed himself the friend of thieves and the enemy of honest men. Many Repub lican Pressldents have by indirection through the protective policy pro claimed themselves the friends of robbery under the forms of law; Mr. Taft becomes the first to depart from the process of licensed rob bery, and to announce that the debts of his party are in future to be, paid out of the people's domain And, from now onward, let there be no politics in this country except the rescue of the government from or ganlzed .pillage, which, not content with raising up favored classes and distributing mammoth fortunes through the tariff, reaches forth its corrupt and impious hand to steal from the people the public lands and franchises that yet remain open to bona fide,, settlers and honest but poor men. Poor old, dignified, fat-witted James Buchanan, who, standing by the extremists of Democracy, let 'the country drift into war, seems the on ly parallel to the good-natured In dlfferentiallst sow occupying the chief magistracy, who thinks with a smile to slick over the treason, strat agems and epoils In which va thick skulled, thoroughly machine-made administration Is engulfing the country.
