Trade in Gastonia this week has
been most satisfactory. Despite al
luring offers held out by larger towns
in this section, Gastonia folks have
largely traded at home and numbers
of ladies from the surroundings
country have been here to attend the
openings and purchase their fa'l and
winter goods. Gastonia merchants
know how to buy in order to sell at
the lowest figure and are rapidly
building up a larger business. The
people who buy in Gastonia get the
most for their money.
The Gazette has been asked to
utter a word of warning against the
making of Main avenue in the busi
ness section a playground by the boys
who have bicycles. They ride up
and down the street, often making
quick turns and all but running into
automobiles, wagons, buggies and
other vehicles as well as pedes
trians. Unless this practice Is dis
continued some of these days a seri
ous accident will result in Injury or
perhaps death to some of them who
endeavor to do "stunts" In fast rid
ing and quick turning. This warning
ought to be heeded.
A number of Gastonia's "mor
ally stunted were shaking in .their
boots, yesterday, when It became
whispered around that an officer was
"in their midst" armed with a bunch
of summonses for some Gastonians
who were wanted as witnesses in
Mecklenburg Superior Court, now
sitting in Charlotte, to testify in a
case against a se-called club being
prosecuted by Solicitor Wilson for
violation of the prohibition laws. The
rumor this morning that the case had
been settled by the club's pleading
guilty- and submitting to the charge,
served to greatly relieve their fears.

HATS HATS
BIG FALL SHOWING
Gastonia Merchants Have Largest
Fall Openings Vet Lalie Come
from Many Xearby Towns to In
spect the New Styles and Initial
Sales Were Large Gastonia Rap
idly Becoming a Center for Trade
in This as Well as Other Lines
Merchants Are Alive and Their
Stocks Are l'p-to-date.
Wednesday and Thursday were
fall opening days with the millinery
establishments of Gastonia and. de
spite the fact that these dates con
flicted with the Charlotte openings
and the further fact that, because
of a misunderstanding, the expected
half-fare rate on the Interurban was
not given, the crowds were unusunliy
large and the sales heavier than usu
al on the first days. The Gastonia
merchants began this year a move
ment to reach out for trade over a
larger territory and this movement
promises to grow with each passing
season. Last Saturday and again on
Wednesday a number of them join:
ly carried a half-page advertisement
in The Charlotte Chronicle announc
ing Wednesday, Thursday. Friday
and Saturday as fall opening and
special sales days and inviting ev
erybody to come. It was expected
that the Interurban would give hair
fare round-trip rates on Wednesday
and Thursday but it developed that
the Charlotte merchants had asked
for and received the promise of half
fare rates on those two days first and
hence the road did not give the rate.
Dppi't? this fact, however, there were
a good many Charlotte ladies here on
those days and not a few of them
purchased hats. The half-rate from
Charlotte and all other points on tne
Interurban to Gastonia is being giv
en today, we understand. Because
of the threatening weather, however,
today's crowd is smaller than U
would otherwise have been.
An inspection of the lines of hats
and ladies goods carried in the Gas
tonia stores convinces one that our
merchants are strictly nn-to-d-He and
that they are in a position to st's
fy the wants of the most fastidious.
Below will be found brief descrin
tio"s of the disnhvs at the several
millinery establishments of trie
town.

MTN. ISLAND, Sept. 26. Mr. P.
Clark and family have moved to Bel

playing ball with Charlotte for the
past two seasons, has accepted em
ployment with the Armon Manufac
turing Company here and some of
the Gaston league players who feared
and kicked so much against Mr. Van
Pelt's playing with them probably
will have to stand and see him de
liver the goods and those who can't
see so as to tell whence they come

The Armon Manufacturing Com
pany has installed an up-to-date dy
namo. A revival meeting began at the M.
E. church Sunday but not much In
terest has been manifested as yet.
The same was true recently when a
meeting was held at the Baptist
church. But, reader, let me tell you:
last week there came a little show to
Mountain Island and you bet your
life there was Interest manifested
and by the church members, too.
That accounts for such dead, cold
meetings. The members are lovers
of the world rather than of God.
Christ says that he that loveth the
things of the world more than me ts

if you are not worthy of Christ when
