Monday of last week will expire to
morrow, and the presiding judge,
Judge C. C. Lyon, of Elizabeth City,
will go to Charlotte, where he is to
hold a term of Mecklenburg Superior
Court, beginning Monday morning or
next week. Owing to the great
amount of time consumed by two
criminal cases, the Hager trial and
the Partlow trial, the court was very
late this week in getting to the civil
docket, and it will very probably be
impossible to take up all the civil
cases set for trial at this term.
In the case of Milas Partlow, col
ored, a verdict in whose case had
just been reached as we went to
press with Tuesday's Gazette, the
judgment of the court in the case

Partlow pay a fine of $200 and
serve a period of three years on the
ro-ids. For disposing of mortgaged
property, three cases, he was given
a sentence of ten months on tne
roads.

es was disposed of at this term, a
partial list of which was given last
week. Other cases disposed of since
the last report are as follows:

The lines of the Piedmont Tele

line avenue, which were totally de
molished by the heavy sleet and wind
storm a couple of weeks ago, are'
being rebuilt, the open wire system
being replaced by a cable. This will
not only give the residents of that
part of town better service but will
add much to the appearance of the
street. Manager Babington expects
to have this work completed and the
phones connected up within the next
few days, provided the groundhog
does not work overtime as he has

DESIRABLE IMMIGRAXTS.
Movement Inaugurated to Exploit
Resources of South With View to
Securing More of Them.
Special to The Gazette.
Washington, D. C, March 3.
Growing out of the Southern Im
migration Conference held in Balti
more on December 8th, 1911. on the
invitation of Governor Crothers or
Maryland, and participated in by
Governors of several Southern States
and the Presidents of railway com
panies operating in the South, a
movement has ben inaugurated for
the systematic exploitation or
Southern resources and opportuni
ties and the attraction of desirable
classes of immigrants.
A second meeting, held In Balti
more on February 20th, resulted
in the definite formation of the
Southern Settlement and Develop
ment Organization, with Mr. S. Davis
Warfield. of Baltimore, as perma
nent Chairman. An Executive Com
mittee, consisting of one representa
tive of each of the principal railway
companies operating in the Soutn
and one representative of each
Southern State, was appointed to
have immediate charee of the work
of the Organization, the general pur
pose of which is to supplement the
work already "being carried on by
the several railway companies for
the developement of the territory
immediately contiguous to heir lines
by a broad and comnrehensive ex
ploitation of the entire South.
President Fin ley," of the Southern
Railway Company, .find the- Presi
dents of several of . the 'other com
panies operating in the Southeastern
States, attended boh of he Baltimore
meetings and are taking active per
sonal interest In the work o f the
Organization.
Home 'Building & Loan Association
to be Organized Promoters Are
Prominent Local Jtusinews Men
Xearly Five Hundred Shares Al
ready Taken.
Gastonia is to have a new building
and loan association, promoted and
managed by strong business men.
The taking of subscriptions for
stock was commenced Wednesday
and already between 400 and 500
shares have been taken. By April
1st. the date on which it is proposed
to begin business, it is expected thft
the number of shares subscribed for
will at least be double the above
amount.
The name of the new organization
is to be the Home Building & Loan
Association. Application for a char
ter will be made at once and It is
very probable that the first series
will be open and ready for payment
April 1st.
Among the promoters of this new
enterprise are Col. C. B. Armstrong,
one of Gastonia's most progressive
and successful cotton manufactur
ers; Mr. W. T. Rankin, president
and treasurer of the Gastonia Insur
ance & Realty Co.: Mr. E. B. Brlt
tain. secretary of the same company;
Mr. R. Grady Rankin and others.
It is understood that this new as
sociation is organized with no inten
tion whatever of antagonizing the
present building and loan associa
tion which has been doing Business
for the past seven years and whlcn
has been very successful. It Is felt
that there is ample room for at least
two large and thriving associations
in the local field. Gastonia is fast
becoming a town of home-owners
and there is no agency so potent in
assisting the wage-earner or man of
small means to obtain a home of his
own.
As yet no details as to organiza
tion of the new company have been
perfected and It is not known who
the officers will be. The charter and
plan of operation will be practically
the same as those used by similar
organizations here and elsewhere.
