afternoon at 4:50 o'clock with shock
ing suddenness, death resulting, in
.the estimation: of the physicians,

. During the earlier part of the day
Mr. Wlttkowaky was in normal
health " and waa busying himself
about his affairs la the office and
elsewhere.
Mr. WIttkowsky achieved a for
tune sice he came to Charlotte short
ly after the war' to engage in the
mercantile business.
Mr. Witt!:owsky" was born 'May
29, 1835, in the eastern part of
Prussia. He received only a free
school education and at one time his
parents were very wealthy. Through
numerous afflictions and Improper
investments the resources of the
family became scant and the deceas
ed was thrown upon the world to
make his own way.
. A distant relative of the father of
the deceased sent 150 to the family
which enabled Mr. WIttkowBky to
come to America. 'When he reached
the shores of this country he found
that he possessed only three dollars

money to enable him to land ashore.
The deceased gave him the necessary
amount out of his pittance and land
ed himself with just one dollar, this
amount having at that time teen de
manded before a passenger could
leave a ship.
Mr. Wlttkowaky was one of the
most prominent men in building and

"Stroup: Incorporate Loray MIJJV
Gaston County."
This little Item In the list of new
bills introduced in the House . of
Representatives Monday brought th
first intimation most Gastonians had!
that the Loray Mills Is seeking, to
effect a municipal incorporation.
The provisions of the bill are not
known yet to the public. Mf. Aiw,'
drew E. 'Moore, assistant treasurer'
and general manager of the Loray
Mills, is In New York, henc no In
formation from first hand can be se
cured by The Gazette today
paper has sent a requestfo Mr.
Stroup for a copy of the bill and w
expect to have it in time to give the
details to our readers In Tuesday's
issue. '"'", ;v
Just why the Loray wants a aepi.
aTate municipal corporation, when
the Loray community, physically '
speaking and to all intents and purv
poses is a part of the town of Gas- 1
tonia, is not clear at this stage. - In
the absence from the city of Mr "T
Moore, The Gazette is unable to pre- ,
sent the mill's side of the matter. , -
It is reported that the ; territory
proposed to be incorporated -Is'' half v
a mile square and immediately Joins-''
the Gastonla corporate limits on the) -i
western edge. . ;:,"t':y"
' Those business men whom The;
Gazette has asked for an opinion are- -1
unanimous In saying 1 that, as they '
look at it, this is a bad move for '
Gastonla. It seems to be the reneral "
opinion that the Loray section of - '
town rightly belongs within the cor - '
porate limits of Gastonla and, if It -
is incorporated at all at this time, it
should be made part and parcel of
the town of Gastonia." im a facVV
recalled by most all Gastonians thai
previous movements looking to th 1
annexation of this territory by th
town of Gastonia have met with.'
strong opposition on the part of the -v'
mill management. (.
Lack of space forbids going in
details on this question today, One
strong objection to the passage, of.
this bill, however, may be mentioned!
now. That Is that It would forever
bar Gastonla from growing .. west
ward. If the town should make any
rapid strides of growth it would, In
less than ten years, grow all around
the Loray and we would have a mu
nicipality within a municipality.
Such a situation would ' be a most
perplexing one. . r
This is a matter of vital impon
ance to the town of Gastonia. : .If
will certainly bear close inspection;
from every side. If It Is a .good
thing for Gastonla, if there are
strong and legitimate arguments la
its behalf, then Its promoters should
not object to coming, out and' mak
ing a stronr open fight for It.' Let
us have more light on this matter. J
It the city council Institute a thor- ...
cueh
investigation
and ascertain ,
vOither, as a municipality, we want
to let this measure go through with- ';
