I Rutherford Man to Dynamite Acre of ' Land Christmas Week. The Highlander. Mr: James Wlthrow, of Hollis, Is ai other convert to the new method of dynamiting land and expects to bliw up an acre on bis farm one day dicing Christmas week. Mr. Wlth rojw was in Shelby a few days ago l. II 'I loiu us mill, ue mieuueu iu iij tue dynamite experiment next year and that he believed it would prove I J great boon to the farmer in the jill counties. V The Snartanbure farmer, who is 'he pioneer in dynamite farming, has gathered the corn from his acre - which was dynamited for this year's crop. The crop has been carefully weighed and measured but how much the yield is, nobcdy knows as yet, ex cept one or two people. It is the general belief that the acre did not produce as much as had been expect ed but it is a fact nevertheless that the yield was an abundant one, and it is alBo agreed that the dynamite experiment was a fine success. Cer tainly it has brought the Spartan burg farmer into the limelight for the time and has set the whole pied mont country to thinking. This dynamiting process, it is claimed, will obviate the necessity of terracing the land and will also en able the crops to withstand a siege of wet weather or to undergo a pro longed drouth without serious in Jury, as Jt loosens the subsoil and thereby causes the rainfall to be ab sorbed at once and held as a reserve of moisture Mr. Withrow and Mr. W. R. Hart ness are the only farmers In this section that expect to try this meth od, so far as we have learned. Progress of the Union in North Car olina. Carolina Union Farmer. In no State has the Farmers Un ion " made better progress than in North Carolina. At the recent meet ing of the National Union at Char lotte thete was applause when North Carolina's account was mentioned in the financial report, and President Barrett, in his address, referred es pecially to the splendid record the organization has made in North Car olina. Since" the National meet ing the organizing work is going forward by leaps and bounds and the State organizer now has calls to set up county organizations in three new counties. Co-operative enterprises are being established all along the line, the State business agent finds the volume of business through his department Increasing rapidly, new methods are being received in many of the older organized counties and the calls for services of organizers in unoccupied counties continue to come in to State headquarters. The hundreds of picnics, barbecues and rallies held In different sections of the State during the' summer season have been productive of splendid re sults In the way of inspiring the membership and In getting non-un ion men interested In the organiza tion. All this should be an inspir ation to the organization throughout the State and should nerve our mem bership to greater loyalty and devo tion to the Farmers' Union. The di rect and indirect benefit of this splen did organization " has already been far-reaching in its effects and it is destined to evolve plans and put in to practice Ideas that will work a transformation In rural life condi tions in this State. - Now, Just a word to you as mem ber of the Farmers' Union: Don't stay away from the meetings of your local Union. Your presence is needed there and another member can not fill your place at the meet ing. The Local Union is the unit of the organization and upon the life and activity of the Local .Unions de pends the life and usefulness of the organization as a whole. Besides.lt is a credit to any neighborhood of farmers to maintain a strong local organization.- It brings about a floser relationship between neigh bors and is a good index to the nro- gressive spirit of the community.

First Annual Exhibition of Chrysan themums by Woman's Betterment Association Proves Most Success ful Over Three Hundred Dollars Cleared Names of the Prize Win ners. (Reported for The Gazette.) The Floral Fair was held last Fri- day and Saturday in the new build ing of the Lebovitz department stores was a decided success. It has been estimated that at least eight hundred people at some time duringthe two days attended the fair. All of those who went enjoyed the flowers, the different booths, the meals served and the social converse with friends. Too much cannot be said about the appetizing meals served on both days. Financially the Woman's Bet terment Association cleared ove three hundred dollars. Near the entrance was the doll booth which delighted the eyes of every little girl. The most attractive part of this booth was the doll wed ding, complete in every detail. The bride and groom, officiating minister, flower girl, ribbon girls, guests and pianist were all there dressed In their best. The color scheme of this wedding was yellow and white and well was the Idea carried out. Ev ery one, old and young, enjoyed this booth to the fullest extent. Next in order was the fancy work booth which for artistic arrangement had no equal. The diffeerni. pieces were all greatly admired for their usefulness as well as beauty. Every piece was sold. The candy booth was so popular that the demand exceeded the sup ply. The candy was delicious as ev ery one can testify who was so fort' unete as to get a piece. This little booth was very attractive In its green and yellow trimmings. Though the recent cold had blight ed some of the chrysanthemums, nev er before has Gastonia seen such a bower of beauty. Many of them were sold. Just before the close of the fair' Rev. R. C. Anderson presented the prizes to the prize winners.
