NOVEMBER 22. 110- Governor-fleet Eugene N. Fobs. Democrat, of Massachusetts, has come out in a strong and unequivo cal statement in which he demands of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge that he withdraw from the race for re election to the United States Senate. He says Lodge is a back number and no longer represents the people. Mr. Foss further says that, if Mr. Lodge does not comply with his de mand and persists in remaining in the race that he, the Covernor-elect, will stump the old State of Massa chusetts to compass the defeat of the Btandpatter. The document is one of the plainest ever handed out and there's no misunderstanding Foss. Lodge is one of the Aldrlch-Payne-Cannon class of Senators and thpir dav is evidently passed. If we were a bettin' man, as the saying is, wa wouldn't be afraid to wager a brand-new hat that Mr. Lodge will never again be Senator from Massa chusetts. "s- BOOK NOTICES. SOCIAL.

Hartley Coleridge: Prayers MILLIONS DISTRIBUTED. The Gazette is Indebted to Rev. .;W. R. Winter, pastor of the Lincoln- ton Presbyterian church, Lincolnton, N. C, for a copy of "Travel Letters" from his pen and which has just come from the press of The Presby terian Standard. Charlotte, N. C. It is a very attractively gotten-up "booklet and a cursory glance through Its pages convinces one that Mr. Winter's descriptions of his travels through the Holy Land and in Eu rope are intensely interesting. These "letters" appeared originally as ther ' were written from week to week in Tfi"e Presbyterian Standard and were read then by thousands of people. There was such a demand for them in book form that Mr. Mln- ter decided to comply with the de mand, hence the volume. It consists of 96 pages and is embellished with a number of half-tone illustrations from photos made by Mr. M inter and others. It Is bound in heavy cover paper and is altogether a most attractive little book. It is on sale In Gastonia at the Gastonia Book Store. The price is 25 cents. Mr. Minter is personally known to many Gastonians, not a few of whom will be interested in this announcement. Now is the time; ah! friend, no Ion ger wait To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer, To those around where lives may be bo drear; They may not need you in the com ing year Now is the time. When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character Is lost, all is lost. 'Motto over the walls of a school in Germany. The supreme joy of life is the joy of right living. Life consists of many little begin nings which culminate in one great ending. Some farmers allow a little thing like a line fence to come between them and their neighbor. A line fence should divide farms, not friends. When the farmer goes to worship he should leave his farm at home. It will be there when he gets back. "The Quest of the Ages." or "A Search For The Poles of Truth," is the title of a book by Olin Sandeford Dean, President of Weaverville Col lege, Weaverville, N. C, which has just been issued from the press of the Cochrane Publishing Company, of New York. The volume is the outgrowth of an address on the same subject delivered by the author be fore the Young Men's Christian As sociation of Charlotte, and deals with the pursuit of truth in all its forms, but primarily with that highest and purest form of truth embodied in the teachings and the life of Christ. There runs through the four divis ions of the book a deep tone of spir ituality and of intense zeal for all that is best and highest in human achievements and ideals. It is in deed, as the author intended, a sin cere effort to Inspire in its readers a deeper love for Divine and ultimate truth. A trouble either can be remedied or it cannot. If It can be, then set about it; if it cannot be, dismiss It from your consciousness or bear it so bravely that it may become trans- figured into a blessing.

Judging from reports at hand to day, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculo sis estimates that by December 1st. not less than 75,000,000 Red Cross Seals will have been distributed to selling agents in forty different States of the country. Forty million seals have already been printed and another large edi Hon is being prepared. Agents or ders to date aggregate all of that amount and a considerable number have not yet stated how many seals they can use. Taking into consider atlon this latter class and the agents who will be appointed before De cember 1st, the prospects for selling 100.000.000 stamps, which Is the goal that has been set by the na tional workers, are exceedingly bright. Over 30 State societies have or ganized the sale on an extensive ba sis, and in about 10 more States, Red Cross Seals will be sold In some places. All told, including state, city, ounty. and sub-agents, an army of ully 50,000 men, women and chil- Ircn will be engaged' in selling the bright Christmas Seals for the pre vention of tuberculosis. Permission to sell seals in the corridors of all postofllces has been granted by Sec retary Hitchcock. They will also be on sale in department stores, hotels, railway stations, drugstores, and in thousands of other places. Every conceivable device for ad vertising the seals is being prepared. In some places valuable prizes will be given. '.Millions of slips, dodgers, posters, and other kinds of litera ture will be distributed calling upon the public to bay Red Cross Seals Among the agencies that are co operating with the Red Cross and the tuberculosis societies are Worn en's clubs, lodges, labor unions, bus lness men s associations, stores, banks, newspapers, and thousands of schoolboys and girls. Every seal is a bullet in the fight against tuberculosis In the commun ity where it is sold, and a million dollars from the sale for the stamp ing out of this plague is the object of the Christmas campaign. COUNT TOLSTOI DEAD. NoUmI Russian Novelist and Reform er Dies at Advanced Age After Making Brave Fight for Life Brief Sketch of This Remarkable Man. An Associate Press dispatch from Astauova. Russia, dated November 20th says: Count Leo Tolstoi, the noted Ru slan novelist and reformer, died here at 6:05 a. m., after suffering rrom . . . . ii . severe attaeas oi neri iauum throughout the night. The attend lng physicians had told Tolstoi's son, Michael, of the Count's serious condition and the family were ex pecting the end. Count Lyof Nikolalvle Tolstoi, usually called Count Leo Tolstoi. novelist and social reformer, was horn August 28, 1828. at Yasnaya, Pollana, in the province of Tula, Russia. When 23 years old Tolstoi ntered the army and served in the Caucasus and in the defense of Se- bfiftapol against the British and French allied forces. He first made a reputation In literature by a series of vivid sketches written from Se- bastapol and when he left the army soon after tne Crimean war ne ae- oted himself entirely to literature. His "War and Peace." a tale of he invasion of Russia by Napoleon in 1S12. is regarded in Russia as being his masterpiece, though his 'Anna Karenina," which appeared in 1876. and "The Cossacks" found greater favor abroad, where bis Kreutzer Sonata," translations of which were published in 1S90, also attracted wide attention. .Firsts E23 Gastonia, N.

A full attendance of the mem bers of Gastonia Lodge No. 188 L O. O. F., at the - regular meeting; on Congressman Webb. Charlotte Chronicle. Noting the suggestion as to a suc cessor to Congressman Webb, two years hence, The Wilmington Star says: "We don't know whether Congressman Webb will stand for re-election or not, but unless the ninth district can greatly better it self we doubt whether it Is a good idea to exchange an experienced Congressman for a new one. All those Charlotte men would make good Congressmen and there are a whole lot of others Just like them in Charlotte. The subjejet is Inter esting but it Is too far off till next election to worry over." The Chronicle has suggested that Mr. Webb may keep the Mecklenburg statesmen on the waiting bench a few years longer. Mecklenburg county Is full of good congressional timber, but one big mistake has al ready been made by the State in the retirement of Congressman Thomas. Mr. Webb Is a valuable man In Con gress. His value will increase as his term is lengthened. While he Is not In accord with The Chronicle on some of the economic questions of the day, he is at the tame' time a force of Influence and power for good at Washington. He lost an able ally in Mr. Thomas. He ana Thursday night of this week is pedally desired.

The scramble for offices in the Sixty-second Congress, which will be controlled by the Democrats, has al ready begun and everywhere the campaign for capturing the plums that are expected to be parceled out by the Democrats has assumed an in teresting aspect. Although the Democratic House will not take pos session of the situation until De cember, 1911, there are many em ployes around the capitol who will feel the effects of the recent elec tion when the present session of Congress ends on March 4, next. There are four excellent posi tions which will be in the gift of the Democrats clerk of the House, sergeant-at-arme, doorkeeper, and postmaster each with an attractive salary attached. These are the four big places around the House end of the cap! tol, although there are many other Incidental positions of one kind and another. There must be appointed a secretary to the Speaker, chaplain, superintendent of the document room, librarian and superintendent of the folding room. When a new sergeant-at-arms is named to succeed Mr. Casaon lie will have a very large number of ap pointments to make in his depart' ment. All the messengers, majority and minority employes, deputies, la borers and others will come under his jurisdiction. The doorkeeper likewise will have many good places to distribute, in cluding a number of special employ es and messengers. The big scramble, however, is coming over the smaller places and already it is apparent that there will be hundreds of applicants for the secretaryships of the various committees of the House after the big places hare been filled. There are 61 committees, and each must not only have a clerk, a messenger and assistants, but frequently spe cial employes are placed on the rolls for one reason or another. There will also be special officers, policemen, janitors, messengers, etc, to be named for service in the House office building, where the members of the Hons are quartered when in Washington. ed with the ralue of Mr. Webb's services as a Congressman to coun tenance any talk at this time as to his successor. SttvinR Lands by Reforestation A notable development during the last few years in the rural districts of many sections of the country is the redeeming and utilization of waste lands through reforestation It would be hard to estimate the number of acres of waste land In the State of North Carolina or even In Gaston county, but It is safe to pre sume that if it were all In one tract a vast majority of the people would De mucn surprised and shocked. As a matter of fact the loss is Just as great if It were all in one tract and the work that the forestry bureau of the National Department of Agri culture and the State Department of Agriculture have done is beginning to bear fruit. Many of the larger land owners of the State have adopted the policy of planting trees in their waste lands. All land that Is so badly washed that it is beyond cultivation may in many Instances be redeemed by this means besides securing a profit from the timber that is raised. Of course It takes years to produce marketable timber, but meanwhile the process of restoring the land to fertility is going on and besides that the grow ing timber, by holding water, will benefit the adjoining lands. It is probably a fact that there are several thousand acres of land even in Gaston county that are not only unfit for cultivation but are really a menace to the surrounding lands be cause they simply shed the water when it rains and cause the other lands to wash too. The work of planting this land in seedlings or young trees could be done at little cost and would result in great things in two or more decades, while the effect on the surrounding lands would be felt within 10 years. Much aid in this work, in securing definite directions for doing the work aad ascertaining the best timber for the respective soils could be secured in buletlns from the national forestry bureau at Washington.

VAN SLEEN EXPERT WATCH REPAIRING ARTISTIC ENGRAVING this bulletin may be secured by any resident of North Carolina free of cost upon application to him. and Preventive Treatment for Oat Wheat Smut. Bulletin 212 of the North Caro lina Agricultural Experiment Sta tion by Dr. F. L. Stevens which has just appeared from the press gives full directions for preventing the various smuts of oats and wheat. These are due to little living para sitio plants which grow withJng the wheat and oat plants. They cause large loss, cutting down the yield of grain often as much as 20 per cent or even 30 per cent, while the stink ing smut of wheat does much great er damage by injuring the milling quality of the grain. The formalin treatment which is thoroughly ef fective and costs almost nothing, is described and recommended for oat smut. The same treatment is even more effective than the ordinary blue-stone treatment for the stink ing smut in wheat. The loose smut of wheat can be prevented by a mod ified hot water treatment coupled with separate growth of seed In protected teed plant. Director C. B. Williams, West Raleigh, N. C, states that these diseases cause thousands upon thousands of dollars loss every year to the oat and wheat crops of the State and that this bulletin was prepared especially to give farmers at this time the latest and most ef fective means of combatinr these He states that a copy of diseases.
