The writer is of the opinion that the papers did not give the school floats due consideration In the write up of the Fourth of July parade. The Loray float, the prize winner, should certainly have been described mucn more fully. WHO MADE THE SCHOOL FLOATS POSSIBLE? The mills of the city deserve tne hearty thanks of the school authori ties for the generous part they bore. The school board furnished the teania and the mills built and decorated tho floats. Mr. C. V. West, member of the board of education from ward four, deserves praise for the help and originality furnished Miss Lula Whitesides and Miss Crawford In getting up the prize winner. The following teachers deserve praise for their enthusiasm and work on the floats: Misses Jane Morris, Pearl Gallant, Carrie Potts, Ella Lewis, Carrie Morris, Lula Whitesides, Elia Bradley, Carrie Glenn, Mary Whitesides. There were a number of our friends who ren dered valuable assistance. The serv ice is much appreciated. THE OPENING OF NEXT YEAR. The superintendent is going to recommend that school begin about the middle of September. This date will come very speedily. The chil dren should be given their trips and visits before that time so that the school will not be interrupted by such. Gaston County's Teachers' Insti tute will be held at Llnwood August 5-16. Gastonla's superintendent will have charge of the high school de partment there. Those who are gp ing to take the high school work are requested to bring Collar and Dan iell's First Year Latin, Wentworth'a New School Algebra, DeGarmo's Es sentials of Method, McMurry's How to Study, The Teacher and tv School, Teaching Poetry in the Grades, and Brown's The American High School, Buehler's Grammar. COUNTY COURSE OF STUDY. Gaston county Is to be a unique county in that she has a uniform course of study running througn eleven years. Some time during the Institute the county superintendent, the principals and superintendents of graded schools are to have a meeting to consider this course of study with a view to revising ana perfecting it. When teachers go to the expense of goine to the Institutes and Sum-rr- Schools and such sweltering weather as this that they may be tne better prepared to serve their com munities better, it should call Tor better support and service on the part of the community. SOME QUOTATIONS. "The free school Is the most char acteristic of our American institu tions." "The free school Is the most prec ious heritage of the children of the ReDublie." "A popular government without popular education is but the prelude "f a farce or a tragedy perhans." "olgrove's The Teacher and the School. Should not such thoughts as these gleaned from Prof. Colgrove, Presi dent James Madison, and others make every thoughtful American take a serious interest in our nubile schools? JOE S. WRAT.

O. W. Picnic Held at Bel mont Saturday Feature of Day Was Address by Governor W. W. Kitchin Who Spoke on Fraternal ism Baseball Game Among At tractionsLarge Crowd in Attend ance. The annual picnic of the Belmont Camp, Woodmen of the World, was held last Saturday. With the excep tion of one or two Sunday school pic nics this was the first picnic held in that section of the county this sum mer and an Immense crowd was present, larger than has ever at'.ena ed a similar occasion. Owing to i!it favorable weather of last week, tne farmers of the community had prac tically finished the heaviest part or their work and a feature of the day was the presence of a' large number of the farming class. The feature of the day was fhe ad dress by Governor W. W. Kitchin, who arrived by automobile from Charlotte, accompanied by Hon. F. R. McNinch, his State manager. Con trary to expectations the Governor did not deliver a political' speed), but confined his remarks chiefly to an exposition of fraternalism. Tlie gist of his speech was that the prin ciples and fundamental doctrines or all fraternal orders, viz: Brotherly love, should exist in men at all times and everywhere and that one's con nections with fraternal orders and such should only serve to Intensify and make stronger these beliefs and doctrines. The Governor was listen ed to with rapt attention during the whole of his speech. At the con clusion he left immediately for Gas tonia where he was billed for a speech in the court house. This speech was mainly along the lines or the attack on Senator Simmons and an account of It is given elsewhere in today's paper. Another feature of the day was the dinner served In picnic style on the grounds of the graded school. That the good women of this sec tion are well versed In the art cul inary was thoroguhly proven to the satisfaction of the Inner man. The crowd is variously estimated at from 1,000 to 1,500 people, and came from all sections of the county. Many people were present from Mecklenburg and York counties. In the afternoon a baseball game was played between the Lowell and Belmont teams of the Gaston county league, which was won by the Tormer by the score of 7 to 5. McAdenvllle vs. Mount Holly. McAdenvIlle defeated Mt. Holly in an uninteresting and one-sided gam" at Mt. Holly Saturday, as the s oio indicates; 11 errors are charpoi to the Mount Holly boys. Fisher for Mt. Holly pitched fine ball for three innings but "went up" In the fourtn and was replaced by Dunn who in turn was succeeded by Mauney. . Stafford, for McAdenvllle, as usual starred with the Btick. Brittain was never In trouble except for the buncn ed hits in the sixth which netted Mt. Holly's only scores. The score 'an-: summary: R. H. E. McAdenvllle 15 9 1 Mount Holly 3 6 11 Two-base hits: Stafford, J., Fun derburk, Dysart, Clonlnger, Rankin; base on balls: off Fisher r.inu (2), Manuney (1), Brittain, (2). Bat teries: McAdenvllle, Brittain and Dysart; Mount Holly, Fisher, Dunn, Mauney and Lowe. Lowell Defeats Belmont. In a game replete with features from beginning to end last Saturday Lowell defeated Belmont by the score of 7 to 5. The game was play ed on the Belmont grounds. Th-j Gaston brothers and Price staTcd for Lowell while the Baumgardners and Stone did excellent work for Bel mont. This game puts LowrTl uea the top of the percentage column. The batteries for lowell were Price and Price: for Belmont Groner and Baumgardner. STANDING OF THE CLUBS. W. L. Pet. McAdenvllle 6 2 .750 Lowell .6 4 .f9 Belmont 5 4 .555 Gastonia r 5 4 .553 Mt.

Governor Addressed Crowd Saturday Night in Interest of His Candidacy for Senatorship Renewed His At tacks on Simmons. Governor W. W. Kitchin spoke ta the court house here Saturday night In the interest of his candidacy for the United States Senate to succeed Senator F. M. Simmons, who is a candidate to succeed himself. It iat, a three-cornered fight, Judge Wal ter ( lark being the other candidate. There was a good crowd to near him, the court room being comfortably filled and some seats in the gallery being taken. In the audience there were perhaps fifty ladies. The Clara. Concert Band furnished music for the occasion. Saturday afternoon the Governor delivered an address at the Wood men's picnic at Belmont, his theme being "Fraternalism;" an account of this appears elsewhere in today's Ga zette. Following his speech at Bel mont Mr. Kitchin came t oGastonia and spent the afternoon mixing and mingling with Gastonians. While here he was the guest of Col. C. B. Armstrong, of his staff, and family. As has been his custom wherever he has spoken in the State during this campaign Mr. Kitchin devoted his time almost entirely to attacking Senator Simmons' record in the Sen ate. In addition to this he devoted a little time to lambasting the Inter ests and recounting his achievements as congressman and Governor. H charged that Mr. Simmons was out Of harmony with the Democratic plat form and the party and made 13. charges against him, in each cas proving his assertions to his satisfac tion usually quoting offhand from some letter, speech or other docu ment. In 2 or 3 Instances he read snatches from documents of one kind and another. He repeatedly, during the course of his address, stated that he had never made a personal at tack on Mr. Simmons of any kind and challenged any one to make the charge that he had. He strongly in sinuated, by reading of detached sen tences from an editorial In the North western Lumber Journal and by his remarks aneht the appearance on the cover thereof of a cut of Mr. Sim mons that the latter was a tool of the lumber trust. Any sixteen-year-old school boy, he said, could have seen the evidence against Lortmer in his first trial before the Senate. Htg criticism of Simmons' vote on the Lorlmer question consisted altogeth er of ridicule. Anent the recent published com munication of Capt. S. A. Ashe tn which that gentleman answered Gov ernor Kltchln's charges against Mr. Simmons' nineteen tariff votes this article appeared in last Friday's Ga zette and was widely read Mr. Kitchin passed it up with very gentle handling, his star retort consist!" of ridicule of Ashe for having severr years ago, while engaged on a Ral eigh newspaper, criticised Summons whom he is now defending. He did not fail to tell his hearers that Capt. Ashe Is Mr. 'Simmons' secretary, the inference being thpt some effort was being made to conceal that fact. Mr. Kitchin defied Senator Sim mons to deny any of the charges made against him and repeated hts challenge to the Senator to meet him any where for a joint debate. The Governor predicted the elec tion of Woodrow Wilson by an over whelming maiority and pra'r1 Locke Craig, the Democratic nom inee for the governorship. Despite the oppressive hat the crowd heard Mr. Kitchin with close attention throughout his speech. The Kitchin supporters were loud in thetr applause. IMPROVEMENT OF PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE.
