PACE POUR. TUB GA9TON1A GAKTTE. Tuesday; December so, , hio. The Gastonia Gazette. Iaeued every Tuesday and Friday by The Gaiette Publishing Company B. D. ATKINS J. W. ATKINS , Editors and Mjjrs SUBSCRIPTION PRICK: One year .$0 6ix months "5 Four months 50 One month 15 No. SSO Mala Arena. PHONE NO. 50. TUESDAY, DECKMBKU 2, 1910. Without question one of the greatest factors in the future Indus trial and commercial life of the Piedmont section will be the inter urban lines of electric railways. The project of the 'Messrs. Duke to build a 300-mile line from Anderson, S. C, to Durham, via Gastonia, should appeal to every progressive citizen along the line of the proposed road. The mass meeting in the commer cial club rooms tonight, at whl"h representatives of the Piedmont Traction Company and the Southern Power Company, will be prese, should be largely attended. Let ev ery Gastonia business man be present. 'But ten days of 1910 are left, yet Gastonia is no better off as regards a passenger depot than she was a year or two years ago. The South ern is keeping the public in sus pense and largely In the dark. They are holding out a long lean arm and grasping hand, the sole contents of which consist in a lemon (a meas ly little shack of a depot) which they are trying to hand Gastonia. At Orange, Va.. a town not half the size of Gastonia, the Southern has just completed a handsome depot at a cost of several thousand dollars. The Gazette expects, in an early is sue, to present some comparative figures on these two towns, what the railroad has done for one and what it wants to do for the other. At High Point, in the same class with Gastonia as regards size, busi ness, etc., the Southern has built a good depot. Gastonia deserves beN ter treatment than she's getting and, unless we misinterpret the spirit of our people, safe's going to have a square deal or die afightin" for it. Only Four Days More r r pi ror Amas onopping Important Meeting 8 O'clock To-Night The Gastonia Commercial Club "will throw its doors open to-night to the citi zens of Gastonia and vicinity, the pur pose being to have a full and compre hensive discussion of the Interurban Trolley line proposition. Representa tives of the Piedmont Traction Co. and the Southern Power Co. will be present to answer all questions in detail. Mer chants and shippers are especially invited. IT PAYS-IT DOES. A Word jto the Wise is Sufficient The Fateful Question For Your Own Sake Advertising la The Gtwtt Brings Results and Brings Ttieni Quickly Penny Column Best Medium for Quick Exchange Two More Install re. Yesterday morning about eleven o'clock Mr. E. O. Deweae, in charge of the Southern Power Company's sub-station here, called up The Ga zette and said, "Please take out my ad. I've already had 35 or 40 appli cations and don't want any more.' ' The ad referred to run one time. In last Friday's issue, cost Mr. Dew ese 30 cents, and read as follows: WANTED, married man who is so ber, reliable and not afraid of work, to take position at once.N Ap ply to E. O. Dewese, Southern Pow er Company's Sub-Station, Gastonia, X. C. 23c 3. In sending In the copy Mr. Dewese ordered the ad to be run three times but once brought nearly forty replies. Mr. John Xlvens, who lives at the Loray, inserted the following ad in both issues of The Gazette last week : FOR SALE: Good family horse, 6 years old, cheap. Apply to John Xi vens, Loray Mills. Saturday, Mr. Xivens sent us word that he had sold the horse Friday and had received a number of inquiries Saturday after the ani mal had passed out of his hands. Certainly it pays to advertise if you put it in The Gazette. If you have never tried it you don't know. Suppose you try it and see. Phone Xo. 50. WEALTHY WOMAN MURDERED.
