DAVENPORT dered this road to be built and tbe prevailing opinion to that work on It will be takes up Immediately on the completion of that now under way between Beaaemer City and Cherry vllle. Aa we look at It there la at pres ent no more Important piece of road work to be done In the county than the construction of a macadam road from Gastonia to LInwooa College. When that to completed we believe the commissioners ahould build the mile link connecting LInwood with Baker's mill, from which point there is a fine macadam road to Kings Mountain town. It is pretty certain, however, that the county commissioners are not going to begin grading the Gastonia LInwood road until they aee a dispo sition on the part of the people liv ing in that section to get out suffic ient rock to build it. At the prices paid by the county for rock any body can make fairly good wagea. Let our friends on this route wake up to the realization of this fact and do their part. Unless they do the road will not be built soon. for an" "ugly" lady cashier for hla hop and offers a permanent 'poel tlon. During the past year he has had fire, sons of them ugly, and all answered the merry chimes of the wedding bells, causing the unsenti mental florist no end "of trouble. We dont blame the florist for wanting cashier that will stay .with him but we Just wish to add, by way of pass ing comment, that he would be wast ing money to advertise for an "ugly lady cashier In any of the North Carolina papers, because the Old North State doesnt produce any of that kind. ' That la good news we print today In another column to the effect that the Piedmont Traction Company will this week let the contracts for gTsaing tne rosacea ror the new trolley line between Mount Holly and Gastonia, a distance of 10 miles. From this snnouncement we take it that dirt will soon begin to fly. All Gaston county will, we are sure, re joice at this news and will rejoice still more when the line Is put lu operation. Cannonlsm and Aldrlchlsm are doomed. New evidence Is offered al most dally that the "Regulars" are In desperate straights. The latest comes In an announcement to the ef fect that both Cannon and Roosevelt will take the stump In the ninth congressional district In Virginia In a desperate effort to save Congress man T. B. Slemp, who Is a et&nd-pat Cannonlte. His Democratic oppon ent, Mr. Henry Stuart, Is a strong man and we do not believe the com bined efforts of Cannon and Roose velt can defeat him. The people are Juat sick and tired of Cannonlsm and that's all there is to it. The old-liners, though dying hard, will die. If the ninth Virginia district will only go like the ninth North Carolina district Is going In Novem ber and we believe it will all will be well. A communication from Mr. T. C. Smith, chairman of the rural letter carriers committed having In charge the making of arrangements for next Monday's big picnic, appears else where in today's Gazette. It contains the day's program. We hope all Gazette readers will read It. This is to be the last big picnic of the year and we hope the whole county will turn out and spend the day In Gas tonia.

One of The Gazette's good friends, farmer living on the Gastonla-LIn- wood road west of Crowders Creek, Cells us that the people on his end of the line have gotten out and placed enough rock to macadamize the road the entire distance west of the -creek. Between Gastonia and the -creek, however, according to his ' statement, no rock, or practically none, has been placed. He would like to see the folks on the Gastonia nd get busy and place rock, as the - eooner It Is put on the ground the ' ejarlier will work on this Important macadam highway begin. As noted in these columns before, ' the county commissioners have or- Our neighboring town of Stanley recently took a long step forward when it voted for a special tax to enable the town to have longer and beter public schools. At an election held Saturday, the 20th Inst., out of a total registration of a little more than one hundred, eighty votes were cast In favor of the special tax. In view of the fact that on two former occasions the opponents of a special school tax won the day In Stanley, the persons who continued to labor in behalf of the movement until suc cess finally crowned their efforts are to be sincerely congratulated on the outcome. The Gazette doffs Its hat to progressive Stanley. May she continue to go forward.

Tolerance In Coins. The mint allows a certain degree of "tolerance" to coins For example, tbe gold double eagle's standard weight Is 616 grains, and the "tolerance" allowed Is half a grain. A coin of this deoonv lnstlon may weigh as little as 615H grains or ss much as 616V grains, but never less than tbe first nor more than tbe second figure. The standard weight of the sliver half dollar is 192.9 grains, and the tolerance allowed is 1.6 grains. - This coin msy weigh as little as 191.4 grains and as much as 194.4 grains, but never less than the first nor more tbsn the second figure. Tbe standard fineness of all gold and silver coins is 900. In tbe gold coins a devia tion of only one one-thousandth from this Is allowed and In the silver coins of only three one-thousandth. The so called five cent nickel coin Is really only 23 per cent nickel, tbe rest being copper. One cent pieces are 95 per j cent copper and 5 per cent tin and slue Philadelphia Record.
