Democrat and Republican In Gaston county would read the facts as set forth in this article. It will open your eyes to the real truth. OLD FURNACE PICNIC. From any view point Gastonia Is v.o. lnffiml nlftce for the location of the Carolina & North-Western s new shops, an acoount of the burning of Which appears in another column. Our town needs a diversity of indus tries. An opportunity here presents Itself to obtain a permanent plant that will prove valuable to the town. Let us not sleep on our rights. No. Brother Houser, The Oasette didnt claim that it was the father of the movement to place county of ficers on a. salary basis. We only said that this paper was advocating the change long before The Advocate was born and before the Republican party In Gaston county placed In its Dlatform a plank advocating this changfl. Keep the record straight. Nor did we assert that "the Demo cratic nominees for the lower noise will place the county officers on sal aries." We said we believed they would, and we still believe it. If the citizens of Gaston county want their officers daced on a salary basis we are willing to stake our reputation for truthfulness on the assertion that the Democratic representatives will see that they get just what they want. Just let them ask for It. Large Crowd Hears Eloquent . Ad ' dress by Gea.' Juliaa 8. Car r,' of Durham A Most Kajoyable ' Oc - rasloa. The annual plcnlo at Old Furnace, about two k miles from Bessemer City, was held according to schedule last Saturday and was attended by probably as large a crowd a ev.r gathered at that historic spot. No rwtHat aMraiHnn la nortuar in ! bring a good attendance to the old Furnace picnics, as they are always great occasions for the people of a large territory In the western part of the county to meet and spend a day pleasantly . together, but ' there was an unusual attraction this year In the fact that General Julian S. Carr, of Durham, had been secure. to make the speech of the May. General Carr'a speech was in the form of a memorial to the late Rob ert Dixon Ormand. ' whose death a few months ago removed one of the most prominent and highly esteem- ed characters of the county, and the address was Jlstened to with Inter est . and close attention by a large part of the Immense gathering. Not only was the address a most eloquent and flirting tribute to the life and memory of the late Mr, Or mand, but dwelt at length' upon the glorious achievements of the Con federacy, and to the many veteran who were present it' doubtles-i brought back vivid recollections of the stirring deeds In which thev took part during the war between the States. The Gazette man was fortunate in being able to secure from General Carr the full text of. his address, which will appear In The Gazette in the next or a subsequent issue.

Today is the time to act.

They mean business and The Gazette predicts that they will carry the Issue to a successful com pletion. The step they are taking Is one of incalculable importance to that section of the county from both a financial ana neaun sianapoini. Whatever the cost In dollars and cents and of course they expect to a keep it as low as possible they will be the gainers in the end.

You say you accept The Gazette's statement as true and ask your readers to believe it. In that case, your own statement was false. So give us his name. I First National Bank Gastonia, N.

This Is a movement which should also enlist the sympathy and support of the en tire county as it vitally affects health conditions. Let the good work pro gress and that rapidly. General Julian S. Carr, of Durham. On the first page of today'e Ga zette we are printing an article on the salary system that should be read by every voter In Gaston coun ty. It will show you where the Re publicans stand on this question. There are several counties in North Carolina which now have this sys tem but in not a singe one of these was tfce system secured through Re publican legislation. It was invari ably been done by Democrats. On the other hand there are several solid Republican counties in the Start. and every one of them retains the fee syatern. We wish that every About the lamest thing in the way of an excuse for an egregious blun der we have seen is that put up by Editor Houser of The Dallas Advo cate in reply to The Gazette's criti cism of his unwarranted and un founded insinuation that the people of Gastonia had failed to live up to tbeir promises in the court house fund matter. We showed by facts and figures and statements from the cashiers of the Gastonia banks that the money bad not only been paid to the county In full (and that before the court house election was held but that it has actually been spent in large part in payment of the cost of constructing the new county build ings. Such publicity had been given WHEN l&uVEKlAliVESTED YOUR COIN PUT IT IN THE JwV ilk ... ft BANK 1 en to this matter during and after the campaign that we did not see for the life of us how any Intelligent citizen of the county could help knowing for a fact that Gastonia had fulfilled her promise to the letter. Now the editor of The Advocate.Jn excusing himself for making sucha wild assertion, can only say: "We were informed by what we regarded as reliable Bource, that the county commissioners had not received the amount subscribed by the citizens of Gastonia for the erection of the court house." Before making a charge of such seriousness as this, the editor of the Dallas paper should have exhausted every means to ver ify the report that came to him. On the contrary, however, he closed his eyes and swallowed the dope whole, with the result that he did the Gas tonia folks an undeserved Injur?. But then we can overlook his mis takes to some extend because of his extreme youthfulness we are relia bly informed and believe that Edi tor Houser has yet to cast his first vote in a State or general election.

" Most of the farmers are about through with their cotton and corn crops; but not a few who have been held back by the grass are still stub bornly determined to fight it out if it takes all summer. Local dry goods people say that the impression that had gained cur rency to the effect that the farmers had been drained of casTi Is all a mistake. They have been taking In lots of cash lately, and what Is still better they have been taking In num merous checks on the different banks. .
