Event Was Surprise to Family and Friends Here Started For Home Onn Hour After Nuptials Were Celebrated. One of the greatest surprises of re cent days in Gastonia was sprung yesterday-morning when Mr. J. Grier Love stepped from the early north bound Southern passenger train !whlch a rives in Gastonia at 5:23 ac companied by his bride, who was Miss Alma C. Simpson, of Chattanooga, Tenn. Going from the train to the palatial Love home on South Oak land street the? were greeted with ihe utmost surprise on the part of the groom's bomefolks who did not know cf the marriage. Later in the day Mr. and Mrs. Love appeared up town mnd vere greetd by many of the groom's friends, who extended con gratulations and best wishes. Accompanied by Mr. Henry Dosha mer, Mr. Love left Gastonia Friday. The. marlage ceremony was perform ed in the parlors of the Hotel Patten at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon hy Rev. J. W. Bachman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church oT that city. One hour later, at 3 o'clock the tride and groom hoarded a south bound train for Atlanta, coming straight through to Gastonia. The bride is a pretty and attractive young lady of about 18 years. She is daughter of Mr. B. F. Simpson, a wealthy retired business man of Chattanooga.

Lew Is, Thomas E. Summerrow, lT. Lee A Sad Case. Webster's Weekly. The murder case belug tried at Yanceyville this week is creating the greatest interest and arousing the deepest sympathy for ih parties In volved. John D. Richmond is being tried for his life for taking the life of his brother. It is a sad am! pitiable case On one side sits the wife of the mur dered brother. On the other sits the prisoner and by his side ads a sad, sweet-faced young wife, with an in nocent little babe upon her breast all unconscious of the blood of w.igeance which Is crying for the life of its father. It is a harrowing scene, and cne that touches and appeals to the coldest hearts. The prisoner seems not to realize the 3erlousnes of his position. His face is drawn hard, and shows little softness. Nothing passes his lips except muttered wordj when the witnesses are testifying against him. The aged father, de prived of one son already, sits by bowed in the deepest grief. He says that it can do no good to take his other son away from him to take hi3 life. His Is a sad position and he presents a Bad figure. God only knows the sorrow there is in that court house. The evidence leads us to believe that the Jury will return verdict unfavorable to the prison er, it seems to have been cold blooded murder. There are no ex tenuating cicumstances. The defense has not even put up the plea of in sanity. They are relying on on the plea of self-defense. The brother who was killed was a weakly man almost an Invalid. One of his hands was perished away, and a chap would have been more than a match for him. He had no weapons, and why his brother should so far lose con trol of himself as to shoot him not once but twice Is beyond our con ception. However, looking Into the sad, sweet face of that devoted little wife, into the eyes of his unconscious babe and into the heart of that de crepit old father, there is no one so cruel as to really hope that John Richmond will go Into the death chair. Gen. Geo. W. Gordon Commander, and Next Reunion at Little Rock. The annual re-unlon of the United Confederate veterans, In Mobile, Ala. came to a close on Thursday with the usual monster parade that Included more than 16,000 old soldiers Irom all parts of the country, and on Thursday night there was a general scattering of the delegates and visi tors to their respective homes. The elections took, place on Wed nesday. The selection of Little Rock had been freely predicted and though, the Arkansas city lacked a majority on the first ballot she was, so far In the lead that a vote to make the election Unanimous carried with a roar. The vote stood: Little Rock 1.479 ;Chattanooga 640; Oklahoma Cltv 17: Houston 0. When Texas was reached, the veterans saw how things were going and threw their strength to Arkansas. The endorse ment of New Orleans as the meeting place for 1916. was contained la a resolution favorably reported and adopted. It recites that New Orleans proposes to hold's Panama canal ex position in 1915 and that the Cres cent City had asked the veterans to endorse the exposition and attend It in April, 1915. The programme for election of officers was carried out to the letter. Gen. Geo. W. Gordon of Memphis, commander of the depart ment of Tennessee, was chosen commander-in-chief, suucceedlng Gen. Clement A Evans of Atlanta, who de clined re-election. Gen. Evans was elected past commander-in-chief and Gen. W. L. Cabell, commander of the Trans-Mississippi division, was elect ed past commander-in-chief. The most stirring incident of the re-union was the greeting to Miss Lucy White Hayes, granddaughter of President Davis, in the' convention hall on Tuesday. The Incident is described in an Associated Press dis patch as follows: "A' slender, black-clad, frightened girl stood on a raised platform to-day and while six thousand Confefderate veterans cheered and while the bands played "Dixie," a score or more gray bearded Confederate general officers passed In review before her and with uncovered heads, kissed her hand. The young girl was Miss Lucy White Hayes, granddaughter of the only president of the Confederacy. The incident was the climax of the first day's session of the United Confeder ate veterans. The big tent, which Is said to seat comfortably six thousand people, was packed to Its topmost tier of seats. The sides had been raised and the throngs outside had passed In. When the new "Daughter or tne confederacy was being pre sented to the convention, the fid veterans went mad. The band was playing "Dixie" three of them were but the combined brasses could not drown out the cheers. The veterans surged forward, but the ropes stopped them. ' Then, one hy one, the stately general officers on the stage moved In review before the frightened, trembling girl and each kissed her hand as he passed. Miss Hayes' eyes filled with tears and she seemed over come with emotion, as she pas?.3! bjck to her seat, on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Ella Mitch'.ll. Miss Hnyes Is the "sponsor for th.) Southern Confederacy" In the re-un-!on and takes rank over all other sponsors and maids." Are You Satisfied Vith Your Present Income?.

(This Is a feature which Is not kepi so wen IA view.)

And what we say of public men holds equally true of all who have the directions of others, whether in church or state, in the schoolroom or the family circle.

One man of the type of New York's Governor is worth more to the cause of morality than a host of theoretical moralia.j "Don't do as I do, but do as I Bay," is good .nough In its way. Tra the prin ciples of morality are ever the same just as sound as sound and binding no matter how numerous or how prominent the men .who disregard them. Nevertheless, we must take men as we find them; and the fact retains that, for the most part, they are and ever will be far more deeply Impressed by our acts man they are by our words or precepts. And the men and women whose upright lire's are sources of light and strength to those within their circles deserve to ha ve, their names recorded, and their memories revered, as the most noble and useful benefatcors of society. K ' Fremont Was Brother Governor C. B. Aycock. Hon. B. F. Aycock, a member of the North Carolina Corporation Com mission, died suddenly at his home in Fremont last Tuesday night. He had been in ill health for some months but was thought to be hotter and hence his death came as a shock to his friends and to the State at large. Mr. Aycock was nominated io corporation comissloner at the mem' orable Democratic State convention of 1908 and was the choice of 'the people for that trust, being Inducted into office in January, 1909. Few men In the State were so well qual lfied to discharge the duties and measure up fully to the responsibili ties of that office, and none has been more faithful as a public servant. Mr. Aycock was one of the oldest of the sons of the late B F. Aycock. the leading citizen of the Xahunta section. All the sons were, men of strong character and leaders. Onlv two of the brothers now sarvive, fr. William Aycock, of Florin, and ex- Governor Charles B Aycock. of Ral eigh. Mr. Aycock married Miss Sal lie Farmer, dangater of Mr. Isaac Farmer, of Wilton, who with .seven children, survive him. The children are: William T, .Flora, Clarence Wiley, Ivor, Ben; King and .
