Place for NextV Meeting Report of
Statistical Secretary, E. I Middle
ton,' Shows That There Are 1,050
Churches and 230,322 Members in
North Carolina Growth Has Been
Wonderful.
Winston alem dispatch, 7th.
Goldsboro was selected at the ev
ening session of the convention as the
place for holding the session of 1912.
Rev. L. E. Davis, of Winston, was
named as preacher of the intrducto
ry sermon and Rev. J. C. Turner, or
Greensboro, as alternate.
Statistical Secretary E. L. 'Middle
ton has in hand detail reports from
54 of tbe 62 associations that consti
tute the State convention with es
tmates from the missing associations
based on last year's reports. The
year proves to have been one of tbe
most successful in the history of the
denomination comprising 1.100 min
isters and 1,700 superintendents of
Sunday schools. There are 1,950
churches and230,322 menfbers, a
gain of 45 in number of churches and
9,500 in the membership.
There have been 12.950 baptisms
reported already and there were real
ly not less than 13,500 exceeding by
500 and more the highest record of
any previous year.
In the Sunday scnool worK tne de
nomination has advance from 1,809
schools with an enrollment of 166,-
636 shown for last year, to 1,851
schools this year and 173,609 pupils,
with numbers of schools yet to be
heard from.
. More than 100 new Sunday schools
have been organized through Secre
tary, Mlddleton's office, with net
gain, however, of only 40 In the to
tal schools. There were 30 fewer
branch schools reported this year
than last, numbers of omissions be
ing due to oversight it is believed.
There are upwards of 500 Sunday
schools in the State that have larger
memberships than the churches that
control them, and if all could be
brought to this ratloUae enrollment
could advance by upwards of 60,000.
Secretary Mlddleton says this is an
Ideal new record before tbe general
Sunday school workers. The finan
cial side of the report shows upwards
of $150,000 raised during the year
for missions, .orphanage and minis
terial relief, -the showing for the
"year being the best in the history pf

Mr. Walter Neagle Comes la Contact
With Live Wire Carrying 2300
Volts Never Regained Conscious
new bat Lived About Twenty
Hoars Belmont School Closed
Till After Holidays on Account or
Scarlet Fever. . ;V
Correspondence of The Gazette.
BELMONT, Dec.1 14.V-TBW most
serious, and practically the. first ac
cident that has occurred In the his
tory of the Majestic Manufacturing
Company, happened this morning at
11 o'clock when Mr. Walter Neagle,
an employe' of the mill, came in con
tact with a live wire and received the
whole' force of 2300 volts of elec
tricity: At 4 o'clock this afternoon
he had just begun to regain conscious
and some hope, though slight, Is he)d
out for bis recovery. Mr, Neagle, in
company with several other men, was
engaged in the Installation of a mo
tor which was up on a platform or
scaffolding 12 feet above the floor.
In some way several wires Just at tbe
point of contact with the motor had
been left uninsulated. Mr. Neagle
and a"Mr. Hurley were testing tne
motor preparatory to tbe final plac
ing Into position when the former,
leaning over the motor to tighten a
bolt, touched one of the live wires
with his shoulder. ' The entire cur
rent of 2209 volts knocked his body
against the . motor and he was se
verely burned about the neck and
ears. Several employes staidlng
r ear rushed to the switchboard close
at hand and cut off the current. His
bbdy thus released fell to the floor a
dibtajcc of K feet. His head strucs
icnio of ibe mill machinery, a severe
gash beitg cut In his head and his
sluill probably fractured. Drs. Orr
and Taylor vere immediately sum
moned and stayed with the injure
man the entire afternoon. Examina
tion showed several- severe burns on
different parts of the body. Small
hopes are entertained for hiu lecov
ery. The distressing accident in dee;y
deplored, and by no oq more tnan
the mill officials. Mr. Xeacle 13
married and has one child. He is a
brother of Messrs. Andrew and Will
Neagle, of this place, auJ of Mrs.
JiPtus Armstrong, o' Lie riauth
Point section.
' Owing to the appearance of two
cases of scarlet fever In town tbe
sthool authorities have suspended the
work of the school from the first to
the fourth grades, taught by Misses
Ethel Sfowe. Mary Hall and Mellabel
Crawford. The sick children are Vir
ginia Armstrong, the eight-year-old
daughter of Mr. J. W. Armstrong,
and a three-year-old son of Police
man J. A. Wagstaff. Both cases are
of a mild form and it is believed that
with the proper precautionary and
quarantine measures, the epidemic,
if it can be so termed, can be sup
pressed within the next week. The
suspension of the primary grades
will be in force until after the
Christmad holidays, the beginning of
which was only a little more than a
week distant. This enforced holiday
will doubtless be enjoyed by both
teachers and pupils. y
Following the action taken (yes
terday by tbe school authorities in
closing the primary department of
the Belmont public school, the
board met this (Friday) mqrnlng
and ordered all departments of tbe
school closed till after the holidays:
There are only two or three cases or
fever but this precaution was deem
ed advisable.
Belmont citizens generally were in
terested in tbe statements of the sev
eral county banks carried In Tues
day Gazette. As shown by the
cashier's statement the Bank of Bel
mont ranked third In the county be
ing outclassed only by the First Na
tional and Citizens National, of Gas
tonia. Not only as regards better
banking facilities but from a stand
point of general progresslveness and
amount of business transacted, does
Belmont claim the distinction of be
ing the second town in the county.
, MR. NEAGLE DEAD. .
A telephone message to The Ga
zette at noon today from its Belmont
correspondent states that Mr. Neagle
died at 7 o'clock this morning with
out ever havjng' regained conscious-"
nesi. That he lived as long as he did
after being subjected to a current or
2300 volts of electricity Is a matter
which causes much wondei. Funeral
arrangements have not been complet
ed yet but burial will take place In
the cemetery there sometime tomor
row.
Surviving are his widow, who was
a Miss Duncan, and one child f" his
mother, Mrs. M. A. Neagle, of Bel

Brutally Murdered With an Axe at
. Home -in Cleveland County Tues
day Night Three Negroes Sus
pects ; In Jail Coroner's Inquest
to be Continued To-Day. (
One of the most horrible and das
tardly murders ever committed In tbe
State was done some time Tuesday
night in Cleveland county when Mr.
John Dixon and his wife were club
bed to death at tbelr home between
Lawndale and Fallston by unknown
men believed to have been negroea.
Mr. Dixon was killed outright but his
wife, left for dead by the murderers,
lived a few hours and regained con
sciousness sufficiently to tell some-'
thing about the horrible deed.'
Mrs. Dixon was a sister of our
townsman, Mr. D. A. Cllne, of the
Albion Grocery Company, who was
summoned to Shelby early Wednes
day morning and went Immediately,
making the trip through the country,
accompanied by his wife and child.
She was a niece of Mrs. W. J. Clif
ford and was known to quite a num
ber of Gastonia people, having at
tended school at Llnwood College and
during her stay there visited In Gas
tonia frequently. Because of these
facts much interest in the case has
been shown by Gastonia people whose
sympathies - go out to the relatives
of the unfortunate couple.
According to the Information con
tained in press dispatches sent out
yesterday from Shelby it seems thai
about midnight Tuesday night two
men knocked at the door of Mr. Dix
on's home. On responding to the
call the men told Mr. Dixon that their
horse was stuck In the ditch nearby
and they wanted him to come and
help them get him out. Dressing and
taking a lantern Mr. Dixon went out.
He was never seen alive again, his
lifeless body, brutally mutilated with
an axe, was discovered Wednesday
morning In the barn lot near the
house.
Having1 killed the husband the
'men evidently returned to the bouse
and attacked Mrs. Dixon as she lay
asleep in bed with her little year-old
child. Thinking they had put an end
to her life also they departed. Just
after day light passersby heard
groans within the house and an In
vestigation revealed the facts aa
above given. Mrs. Dixon, it is stat
ed, called two negro woodchoppers,
so they testified, and told them that
two men had committed the crime.
She did. not know where her hus
band was and inquired of them. Orfe
of the men went to Mr, Dixon's fatn
er, Mr. Thomas Dixon's house, a
quarter of a mile away and gave the
alarm. When neighbors arrived
Mrs. Dixon was dead. The child
was unharmed.
Early reports stated that the mur
der was perpetrated In order that the
murderers might commit robbery as
it was Known tnat Mr. Dixon bad sold
his cotton the day before. Later re
ports, however, are to the effect that
there were only $40 In. cash in tne
house and it was undisturbed.
Hack Ross and John Ross, two ne
groes, brothers, are suspected of tbe
crime. They were arrested, togeth
er with Major Stroud, another ne
gro, and placed in jail pendlns; de
velopments. Sentiment is strong
against Hack Ross, who is said to
have threatened to kill Dixon, and if
the coroner's Jury places the guilt on
him at its sitting today there is
strong probability of an attempt to
lyncn nlm. Hack Ross owed Mr.
Dixon for a pig, the latter having a
mortgage on it. The day before the
crime Ross, unable to pay for the
pig, brought It back though it is be
lieved now this act of seeming hon
esty was but to cloak the awful con
templated grime. When arrested
Hack Ross' overalls had some blood
on, them. Tracks in the nelghbor-
nood or tne Dixon home, leading to
Ross' cabin, exactly fitted his shoe.
The evidence is apparently pretty
strong against him. Then, too, his
reputation is bad.
When questioned the negroes told
a story about seeing two strange
white men at the barn when they
came by the house Just after day
light. The officers, however, put
very little credence in these stories.
The three negroes are confined In
separate cells In the Cleveland coun
ty jail. Hack and John) Ross are be
lieved to be the perpetrators of the
fiendish deed. Major Stroud bears a
good .reputation and the officers think
he will, tell the whole story or as
much as he knows about it.
.No crime has been committed In
this section of the country In years.
pernaps never before, which has stir
red public sentiment so strongly
against tbe criminals as has this one.
Mr. and Mrs. Dixon belonged ' to
prominent families and were among
the best" people In Cleveland county.
Tftey bad a happy home. They were
married about two years ' ago and
were both young. Their tragic end
calls forth expressions of the deepest
sympathy and distress from thous
ands of 'hearts throughout all , this
section of country.,,

The High Cost of Dying.
A contributor to the December
Woman's Home Companion makes
the following Interesting comment:
"It has occurred to me, while)
reading articles on the high cost ot
living that apparently no one has
thought of the terribly high cost ot .
dying.
Does it seem fair that a casket
should cost so many times' Its In
trinsic value, because of the pressing;
need? Should liverymen charge don- ,
ble of treble for conveyances at such ;
a time? Can you not undertake to
show the. actual robbery that exists
and thrives on the forced purchasing -that
often leaves a family almoBt
bankrupt? That, too, at a time per- . :
haps when its support is taken away.
I hope that you may be able to start
a crusade against such rank Injustice.
This will strike a responsive chord
In the breasts of those who have to
settle funeral bills In towns. In fact
the man of small means can hardly
afford to die In town If he is to bo-K,
burled in respectable style. . ..
Sheriff J. D. B. McLean la la
Lowell today on his round as tax
collector. He will be in bis office, .
here tomorrow, at McAdenville Mon- ,
day. Belmont Tuesday and at Par-
ham's store near Crowders Creek
Wednesday. After that date he win

the remainder of the month.
The Gazette 1 learns upon good
authority that a number, of eases ot
typhoid fever in various parts of tno
town have been directly traced to In
fected milk coming from a dalrv be- .
lng conducted by two negro families
living on the town farm south of
town. We are Informed that there ts
a case of typhoid In each of these v
families, and that all vessels in whlcn
milk Is carried are washed In water
from a well-situated only about 25
feet from the sewerage outlet, mak- '
ing about as unsanitary, and danger
ous a situation as could, be imagined. "
The public health would seem to. de
mand that some steps be taken by the
city - or county health authorities
looking toward an Improvement la.
this particular Instance.
