One of Gaston's Candidates for So licitor Makes Gcod Impression , In Cleveland. The. Cleveland Star, published at Shelby, has the following to say in its Tuesday issue this week about the candidacy of ouf townsman, Mr, George W. Wilson, for the solicitor ship of this district Mr. George W. Wilson, of Gas tonla, was in town today. He Is a ccandidate for the office of solicitor in this district, and is shaking hands with his Cleveland county friends. Mr. Wilson lived awhile in Cleveland county and, when quite a young man working his way through grams were distributed by the mar college, taught school at Cleveland shals, who wore the beautiful and Mills. He is a native of Caldwell county, but has resided In Gastonia since entering upon the profession of law in 1901. He is a graduate of Guilford College, in this State, and the law department of Columbia University, in New York City. In a certain sense of the word. Mr. Wil son is a self-made man, having worked his way through college and through the University by his own efforts. And he tells with a great deal of appreciation how certain cit- izens of Cleveland county assisted him by lending him money, and in other ways, to complete his educa tion. He is a good lawyer, a man of wide information and general cul ture, and is known as a ready de bater, forceful speaker and a good campaigner. When interviewed by the corres- pondent of The Star, he said, among other things: "I shall try to make an active campaign for the solicitorshlp. I am well aware that the office I seek is judicial in its n&- ture, and shall try to make the race with the dignity that becomes the, office and the candidate. At the same time I recognize the Democrat. ic tendency of our people, and I recognize the wisdom of the State and county committees in giving the people the freest ooDortunities to express their wishes through the primaries. I am the kind of a Dem ocrat that believes in the people, and believe that a full and free ex pression from all the Democratic vo- ters is to be desired in the selection of candidates for offices of every kind and nature whatsoever. I do not think that It is necessary for me to say that I would perform any du ty incumDent upon me, if I were elected, as I believe that my friends are satisfied of that in advance of any declaration I milEht make.

Dickens' Play Presented in Most Creditable Manner by Young La dy Students of Li n wood College- Audience Highly Pleased. (Reported for The Gazette.) The annual celebration of the Adelphlan Literary Society of Lin wood College was held Monday ev ening In the college chapel. The en tertainment for the evening was a play, "The Cricket on the Hearth," by Charles Dickens. Although an amateur play it was greatly enjoyed by a large number of friends and relatives of the participants. Pro- royaj colors, purple and old gold. The stage was converted into a liv- ing room and the scenes were chang- ed with surprising rabidity. It was only by the aid of the programs that the participants were recognized, even by their school mates, so per fectly did they represent their char acters. We doubt if Charlie Dickens him self could have conceived of a more gallant and admirable John Perry- bingle than Miss Lawson Hum phries. It can truthfully be said that .Miss Humphries' part was most creditably acted. The part played by Dot, the true. youthful, faithful and devoted wife of John Perrybingle, could not have been better rendered than by Miss Mary Smith. Her ever-beautiful face was even more beautiful and expressive on that evening. The bright-faced, modest even- tempered Miss Edna Hyatt was mys teriously transformed into a harsh, I cold and sour-tempered villian. So perfectly was Mr. Tackleton's part Played that tn? audience shrank as if Tackleton himself were dealing with them in nis exacting manner Laleb Plummer, Tackleton's toy maker, Miss Margaret Smith, show ea Praiseworthy dramatic Instinct ine race r tne beautiful girl of eighteen summers was by the art ist's hand made Into a perfect Iml tation of an old man whose head had been whitened by the frost of seventy-live winters. This, which was one of the most difficult person alities, could not have been better represented The sympathetic chord in the na ture of every hearer was touched by the dependent and submissive spirit man,fe8tea by the little blind Ber tha. Miss Wolff. We can well say that this character was well chosen as were the following: Edward Miss Cora Witherspoon, in her win some manner; May, Miss Neely, Ed ward's modest unassuming bride: Mrs. Fielding, Miss Wallace, In her 1ua,nt and unique costume; Dot's father and mother, Misses Simpson and Ulmer, ip their appropriate cob- tumes; the porter, Miss Glasscock made attractive by an abundance of burnt orange hair; Tilley, a typical maid, Miss Lillian Smith, nil display ed their talents and training. Marshals: Chief, Miss E. Myrtle Falls; assistants, Misses Jenevieve Neal, Neppie Smith, Bess McCright, Beulah Foxsworth, and Myrtle Falls. Miss Rosa Bradley deserves much praise and credit for the skillful and careful training given the partici pants and they showed their appre ciation hy doing their very best. The audience showed their inter est and appreciation by the closest attention and repeated applause C. L. S. M. The Independent Countryman. Lincoln County News. One of the most independent fac tors in the retail trade situation consists of the families of farmers and other residents living outside our large towns. The merchants like this trade, because, country peo ple want honest goods, and honest goods pay an honest profit.

The farther out you go, the greater the number of business centers between which the farm family makes Its choice,- This is anybody's game and the best advertiser wins.

Dr. Aked and Dr. Flick En dorse Movement for April 24th. Rev. Charles F. Aked, D. D., pas tor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church of New York City, and Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, the famous Phil adelphia specialist, and chief organ izer of the last International Con gress on Tuberculosis, both Issued statements to the newspapers today endorsing in most emphatic lan guage the movement for a National Tuberculosis Sunday on April 24th. Dr. Aked says: "I am profoundly thankful to know that the National Association for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis is planning; on a great scale a 'National Tuber culosis Sunday.' I shall be glad to co-operate to the limit of my ability and opportunity. In the old days a doctor's diagnosis, 'Consumption was regarded as a sentence of death, and the prevalence of tuberculosis was thought of in the light of some mysterious 'visitation of God.' To day we know that tuberculosis Is curable, and, what promises even more for the human race, that it la preventable. Preventable diseases ought to be prevented. And the Church of the Living God, with the memory of Him who we love to call 'the Good Physician,' of whom It Is recorded that 'He went about doing good,' and that 'He healed many that were sick of divers diseases,' should be the van of those who love their fellows, seeking to prevent pre ventable ills. The world is cursed by ignorance and darkness. It is to be blessed by knowledge and light. Tuberculosis is born of Ignorance; it flourishes in the darkness. And if the light of the knowledge of the glory of God shines from the face of Jesus Christ Into the Church, it must stream again from the Church into dark homes and Into dark lives and the dark places of the Mtw where physical and moral evils- abound. Social problems are snl- ituai at heart. We worship God by serving men. And I wish you every success in your effort to enlist the enthusiastic and consecrated service of the Christian Church." Dr. Flick after expressing his- keen interest in the movement, and his desire to be of all possible assist ance says: No body of men has better vantage ground for good work in the crusade against tuberculosis than clergymen. They are In close touch with the people who need edu cation and what they say will be ac cepted as from authority. Such a cause as the stamping out of a plague must appeal to them as it exemplifies the quintessence of re ligion. Every clergymen In the lan . should become a teacher of the doe trine of health and preventing med icine. He should, moreover, as a leader of men become a living active force in the world movement for ..... stamping out consumption." Reports thus far received at the- National headquarters in New York: ndlcate that on April 24th more people will hear the gospel of health and right living than have ever be fore received such a message.
