APPEALS WERE USELESS.
Dr. Wiley Failed to Get Assistance
from Department Appeals to
Secretary Wilson Were of no Avail
His Hands Tied.
The following extracts from the
account in yesterday's dailies of the
government Investigation of .Dr.
Wiley, the pure food expert, and the
Department of Agriculture, Is inter
esting: Dr. Harvey Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the Agricul
tural Department, testified before
the House investigating committee
today that he has surrendered prac
tically all of his authority for en
forcing the pure food law to Dr. F.
L. Dunlap, associate chemist, and
George P. McCabe, solicitor of the
Agricultural Department. Overrul
ed in two-thirds of the cases he has
brought before the food and drugs
inspection board, composed of those
two men and himeelf, he declared
that be had found it useless to ap
peal to Secretary Wilson, and had
not even received an answer to one
of the most 'important appeals he
had made to the Secretary.
Dr. Wiley stated that Solicitor
McCabe held-the decisive vote on
the board of food and drug Inspec
tion. When Dr. Wiley and Dr. Dun
lap disagreed on questions of chem
istry. It was Solicitor 'McCabe who
decided whether a prosecution
should be made. In fully one hun
dred cases, said Dr. Wiley, where he
and Dr. Dunlap had voted together
and Solicitor McCabe had disagreed
with them. Dr. Dunlap changed his
vote to agree with Mr. McCabe.
"Did you ever appeal from these
decisions?" he was asked.
"I found It was useless to ap
peal," said Dr. Wiley, "for the Sec
retary invarlbly upheld the decision
of the hoard."

City's Advant
ages pri , Envelopes Thorough
V Boosting Campaign to be Inaug
Prated With All Gastcnlans as
Members.
Gastonla Is A Busv Town.
That is our slogan, adopted Tues
day night by the board of governors
Vat the Comme
l
and it is now
tne commercial Club.
one, as all are agreed.
Incumbent upon every
man. woman, and child in Gastonla
to help make this slogan familiar
throughout the entire Piedmont sec
tion of North and South Carolina.
The club recommends Its use on
stationery, banners, buttons and In
every other way possible.
Some weeks ago The Gazette, at
the suggestion of several wide-awake
business men. Inaugurated and car
ried on a campaign through its col
umns for the adoption of a suitable
slogan to be used In advertising to
the outside world Gastonla as a
good place to live In and work In.
For two or three weeks this cam
paign went on at a merry pace, slo
gans being sent in from far and near.
The campaign was closed Friday,
August 4th, and the complete list
of slogans as published from issue
to issue In The Gazette was turned
over to the Commercial Club with a
request that that body select the
best one In the list or, if none was
found there which suited their idea
as to what a slogan should be, that
they make one.
Pursuant to this request the
board of governors of the club held
a meeting in the club rooms Tues
day night to dtpose of this matter
and to discuss other .matters along
the general line of boosting Gasto
nla. The board is composed of Mr.
B. H. Parker, president of the
club; Mr. S. A. Robinson, secretary
and treasurer, and Messrs. Marshall
Dilllng, E: N. Hahn. H. P. Stowe,
Gv-W. Wilson. P. W. Garland, Jr.,
A. C. Jones. Ed C. Adams, R. H.
Brlson and E. F. Wilson.
After thoroughly considering all
the slogans in The Gazette's list and
finding no stogan which seemed to
fill the bill, the board finally agreed
upon one of Its own making, viz:
"Gastonla Is A Busy Town," and this
was adopted. Every business man
In town who has "been Interrogated
regarding the slogan chosen is
greatly pleased with It. In fact the
consensus of opinion is that It is
the very beet one that could have
been found. It was really a knotty
problem and the gentlemen upon
whom the task of selection fell de
serve the thanks of the town for the
splendid manner in which they per
formed the duty.
Another very Important matter
disposed of by the board was the se
lection of colors for a banner or
pennant and for lapel buttons. .The
colors chosen were 'black and red,
former for the background and the
latter for the lettering. This color
scheme will be used on both ban
ners and buttons. It was decided to
have an attractive banner designed
and placed on sale at one of the lo
cal retail stores. It is hoped that
every automobllist as well as per
sons with other vehicles will obtain
these banners as stion as they are
placed on sale and use them con
stantly. As to the manner of dis
tributing the hooster buttons noth
ing definite was determined upon.
Secretary Kohlnson will take steps
at once to ascertain the cost In large
quantities of these buttons and
some metthod of dfetrlb-uting them
will then be determined upon.
The bcterd also went on record as
favoring the use of booster adver
tising on envelopes "by all the busi
ness men of the town and something
definite In this line will probably be
presented to the people within a
short time.
"Gastonla Is A Busy Town" should
be used on all occasions by every
Gastonian. It will serve to let these
unacquainted with us know that
Gastonla Is a place of work, vim en
ergy, determination: a live, pro
gressive, growing town, one that any
man may be proud to own as his
home town. When any traveling
man or stranger asks you what kind
of a town Gastonla. is tell him Gas
tonla is a busy town. It means a
great deal. It means tbat our peo
ple have work to do and are doing
it, tbat there are no loafers, tbat we
are optimistic, happy, bopefur, look
ing on tbe bright side of life and
striving to accomplish things.
