The lime, was applied in the spring and has resulted in the promise of Increased yields, though it is too early to know what the Increase or the benefit to the soil will be. - Lime has been used for improving the soil for many centuries and au thorities agree that a great part of the land under cultivation in the Southeast Is deficient in this respect, resulting Is an excess ' of acidity when vegetable matter decays. The use of lime preserves the vegetable matter In the condition most suita ble for the support of plant life. It is not Intended that lime -should be used-' as a substitute forvmanure or commercial fertilizer . but N that by its use a much greater percentage of the plant food is the manure or. fer tilizer may be retained in the soil. ; As soon as possibla the results of theexperlments being made by- the Southern Railway and the Alabama Great Southern will be given to the farmers of the Sooth.

Bain, presiding elder of the Statesville district of the Meth odist Church, and when it is known that he is coming, he always aas a large, .'interested and appreciative congrcceitlon. The Newton Metho dists hold him In high esteem. Of Ms sermon last Sunday night on "Cross-Bearing," one says: . "The sermon was one of great spiritual power. The discourse was original and unique throughout. His description of Calvary and the Incidents in connection with the cru cifixion, was the most beautiful and the most touching I have ever heard, and I have listened to the masters on that theme. The sermon was lengthy, but I sawi no weariness is those about me. It occurred to me while I sat there that when a man's heart Is yearning for the salvation of the souls of men and he comes bearing the cross of the Master, the mere length of the deliverance Is a matter of no concern whatever to the bearer time is forgot. My test of a speaker on any subject is bis ability to make me forget where I am and all things else savs him and, what he is saying. Mr. Bain . has that power. He Is a great preach er."

Subscribe to The Gazette. ; V Great Crowd Hears Chief Justice Does not Mention Senatorial Slt . natfon Confederate Reunion . a Success -Many Minor Attractions People of Stanley to be Con-, gratulated. As was to be expected, the para mount feature of the big picnic at Stanley yesterday was the address by Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the fupreme Court of North Caro lina. There were numbers of minor attractions in the way of parades, merry-go-rounds, moving pictures, etc., but the brilliant address of the Cbief Justice overshadowed all else. The people of Stanley, and espec ially the Messrs Carpenter, are to be congratulated on the successful way In which events moved off. Not a bitch occurred in the whole pro ceeding from start to finish. The crowd, variously estimated at from three to five thousand, was handled with ease. Early in the day by train and private conveyance the throng began to gather. Many came by train from Charlotte, Mt. Holly, Llncolnton and Cherryville. Attract ed thither by the gay crowd of cele brants was the usual array of fakirs, wheel of chance manipulators and confetti dispensers. Considering the size of the town the parade was a very creditable one. Headed by Mr. Carl Carpenter, the procession be gan about 10 o'clock. About 75 old soldiers from various parts of the county were in line. Practically every business enterprise In Stanley was represented In the floats that fdllowed. Probably the most Inter esting one was a bevy of daintily dressed girls, all In white, riding in a float bedecked with the national colors and labeled "Fairest Stan ley." One of the most unique stunts seen was the "aiule-moblle, 1912 Model," an ingenious arrangement propelled In some manner by a mule, whether pushed or pulled, it is hard to say. In some kind of, a frame to the rear of the buggy, from which the shafts had been removed, the mule was hitched and while the oc cupants of the "mule-mobile" were leading him, nevertheless, be was furnishing all the motive power by which the buggy was propelled. On the arrival of the train from Charlotte, the parade disbanded and the crowd made their way to the stand where Judge Clark was to speak. In a short1 introductory speech, Mr. John G. Carpenter Intro duced Major W. A. Graham, Com missioner of Agriculture of North Carolina, who spoke for a few min utes to the veterans In a personal way. He reviewed some of the events of the sixties and exhorted them to be as good farmers and business men as they were fighters. In his own happy way be then pre sented Chief Justice Walter Clark. On account of his senatorial as pirations every word uttered was listened to with rapt attention In the nope that he would let some thing out that might be of interest, politically speaking. But as Mr. Clark explained when he began speaking, be had come to talk to the old soldiers, being one of them him self. From the current press re ports about Mr. Clark one would not look Tor a brilliant display of oratory such as would come from the mouth of Kltchin or Aycock. In spite of this prevailing impression snd the fact that, he spoke from manuscript, every one was delight fully surprised for the Chief Jus tice held his audience closely throughout his hour speech. This can be accounted for in. several ways: First, he is no mesn orator after all, being about as good as any that have been heard in- these parts lately. His style of delivery and ex ecution Is easy and graceful. Then he was speaking on a subject that Is dear to every Gaston countian Gaston county's part in the Civil War. On the subject of the Civil War and things pertaining thereto, Judge Clark is an authority. He Is the author of several exhaustive treatises concerning North Carolina and Carolinians. An interesting feature was the recital of a list of the different cpmpanlea that went to the front from Gaston, together with the names of all the survivors as they were paroled at Appomat tox. The speech represented much study and labor on the part of Mr. Clark. Another thing that was very much In Judge - Clark's favor was the excellency of the composition of his speech. As has been noted, be is more famed for the writing of speeches than for the delivering of the written theme. The address of yesterday, although dealing with bare facta and figures, under Judge Clark's masterful wsy of candling, took on a living aspect and was ex tremely interesting In every detail. His perfect command of the finer points of the English language, bis polished style of diction, and the flawless quality of bis rhetoric, all combined to make bis address an oratorical gem. Some extracts from bis speech follow: ! rt-ac hea rP og.flal orKk C 6111 "It has been 50 years Just half a century since North .
