UNCLE SAM WILL NOT INTERVENE
Following Cabinet Meeting Sunday
Night President Taft Sends Mes
sage to President Madero Stating
That United States Will Not In
tervene Fighting Continues
Many Americans Moving Toward
Border.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Mexico City dated yesterday says in
part:
President Madero today received
the reply of President Taft to his
telegram' protesting against possible
intervention, in which Presiden: i
Taft assured him that the reports or
the intention of he United States
Government to land forces in .Mexico
were inaccurate. President Taffs
message was sent following a long
session of the cabinet held Sunday
night and extending into the early
hours of Monday morning.
"I never expected anything less
than this," commented President Ma
dero on President Taft's message.
"I regard it as satisfactory ana
friendly."
The fighting continued throughout
the day, but the Federal guns were
finite as ineffective as ever in dis
lodging the rebels from their en
trenched and fortified positions.
Furthermore, the Federals did not
show the same aegressrf veness which
marked their action in the early days
of the battle. This i believed to be
due to the fact that they realize the
present forces of the Government are
not of sufficient strciv-th to del ..'
the rebels.

Fightlne throughout the morning
was very heavy. The caliber guns
in the arsenal were almost constantly
in use. The Federal artillery brought
another big siege gun into action,
but did not succeed in silencing the
rebel fire.
The engagement was rather severe
almost till noon, but the firing thea
dwindled and developed iito ex
change of volleys from rifle bullets.
The rebels tried to pick off the Fed

"A KENTUCKY BELLE"
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE.
Almost Ideal weather and a beau
tiful moonlight night made It possi
ble for a large and appreciative au
dience to enjoy a three-act comedy,
A Kentucky Belle, given last night
by the junior class of Linwood Col
lege In the college auditorium. The
parts of Miss Jackson as "Miss Ma
riah Douglass:" of Miss Stanley as
"Isabel Douglass, niece to Miss Doug
lass, and of Miss McLaughlin js
"'ol. Wm. McMillen, suitor to Isa
bel," were most admirably acted ana,
in each instance, they showed them
selves thorough masters of their
roles. Especially, after Col. McMil
len had won the hand of Isabel
Douglass, "The Kentucky Belle," was
it fitting and appropriate that the'.r
friends should join with them in
singing "My Old Kentucky Home."
Very humorous, indeed, were the
roles of Miss Funderburk as "Cindy,"
negro maid," and Miss Link as
"Henry, negro boy engaged to Cin
dy." The courtship of the two in the
parlor at Miss Douglass', replete as
it was with quaint Southern negro
melody and dance, brought repeated
applause from the audience. After
the play the junior class served re
freshments in several courses to
their friends and the visitors.

AN INTERESTING RUMOR.
Report From Lenoir That The Messrs.
Duke May Take Over The Caro
lina & Northwestern and Operate
It In Connection With Piedmont A
Northern.
Charlotte News, 16th.
Lenoir, Feb. 15. There is a per
sistent rumor that has been going the
rounds for several days that the Car
olina and Northwestern Railway is to
be taken over by the Dukes or Pied
mont and Northern lines. Of course
confirmation can not be had to this
rumor, but it is said that the two in
terests have been trying to come to
terms for some time, and the pres
ence of the Dukes here Thursday
evening lends credence to the report.
They came up on a special to Lenoir
from Gastonia, reaching here about
seven o'clock. They did not alight
from their car, and returned to Hick
ory about 7:15 o'clock. It is re
ported that W. W. Barber, president
of the Carolina and Northwestern
Railway, and a son of J. P. Morgan
were In the party.
The Carolina and Northwestern
Railroad runs from Chester, S. C. to
Edgemont in this state, and Is 133
miles long. By taking over this
road the Pieomont and Northern
would have connection with the Sea
board both at Lincolnton and Ches
ter, and it is known that it is closely
allied with the Seaboard. This
would afford a direct route from
Charlotte and many other sections of
the state to this famous mountain
country. Another fact that lends
color to the report is that the Thorn
ton Power Company at Hickory was
recently taken over by the Southern
Power Company, and there is no
doubt but that it is the intention or
this powerful corporation to enter
this western territorv.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE BILL PASSED HOUSE
Bill Establishing Home for Confeder
ate Widows Passed Senate Local
Bills Making Some Progress.
Following Is a brief review of the
work of the General Assembly dur
ing the past few days:
By a vote of seventy to fourteen,
the House of Representatives Friday
night, just before midnight, passed
the "search and seizure" bill on its
final reading. The bill applies to
the entire State and was passed as
adopted by the Anti-Saloon League,
with the exception of three slight
amendments offered by Representa
tive Doufchton, who supported the
bill. The amendments were accept
ed by Representative Weatherspoon,
manager for the advocates of the
measure.
Nearly five hours were consumed !n
consideration of the bill, one in the
afternoon and four at night, the en
tire night session being devoted to
the measure. The bill passed Its
second reading by a strong and sub
stantial majority, and on final read
ing the vote was overwhelmingly In
the affirmative.
The night session was the most ex
citing and spectacular yet held since
the General Assembly convened. The
floor, the lobby and the galleries
were filled and long before the final
vote was taken enthusiasm was run
ning high. The opposition, led by
Representative Kellum, of New Han
over, fought every Inch of the way.
Numerous amendments that would
have defeated the bill if adopted, and
some that would have rendered null
and viod the prohibition law of the
State if passed with the bill, were
voted down. Efforts were finally
made to have numerous counties ex
empted from the provisions of the
bill, especially the feature for search
Ing private residences, but every n
mendment, except those accepted as
satisfactory by the prohibition forces
was voted down by a tremendous ma
jority. The General Assembly Saturday
turned off a large volume of worn.
unusually large lor a atunlav ses
sion. In the House, where private
and public local bills have preced
ence on Saturdays and Mondays
something like a hundred bills of
this class were taken front the cal
endar and passed on third reading
while a great many passed second
reading and were ready for their
final reading Monday. These latter
are roll call bills and thus could not
be passed on two readings the same
day.
The Senate Saturday held the
longest session since It convened
January 8, keeping hard at work
from 10 a. m. to 2:05 p. m. A great
many important bills were consider
ed, and several passed final reading
after prolonged debate, but, as the
vote showed, with no real opposition
Chief among them was the Thorne
bill to establish a home for Confed
erate widows. This bill was drawn
by a special legislative committee
appointed two years ago, and was
endorsed by the State organization of
the Daughters of Jhe Confederacy. It
goes to the Mouse witn the endorse
ment of the Senate by an unanimous
rising vote.
The other important State-wide
bill which passed after discussion
was the Nimocks bill to restrict the
the purchase and use of deadly wea
pons. It also goes to the House with
a practically unanimous vote.
Other important bills which were
passed and sent to the House, were
The bill by Senator Jones, giving
any c!H.en and taxpayer the right to
bring suit against county or city an
thorlties for voting bonuses, or
additions to salaries of subordinates
not strictly allowed by law.
The Houe- bill to extend the limit
of placing State convicts in the pen
itentiary reformatory department.
The House special railroad com
mittee report, asking an extension or
power of the committee was adopted
without further opposition.
On Saturday Senator Mason Intro
duced in the Senate a bill to amend
the act of 1911 placing Gaston coun
ty officers on a salary and creating
the office of county auditor. In tne
House Representative Dellinger in
troduced a bill to require drug store
licenses in Bessemer City.
The bill to amend the charter of
Gastonia and establish a recorder's
court for Gastonia township passed
final reading In the Senate Saturday
and now goes to the House.
MONDAY.
Senator Mason's bill to amend the
1911 county officer's salary act
passed final reading in the Senate
and goes to the House. Senator Ma

been prepared for this occasion and
will be published In full In Friday's
Gazette. The admission will be 15

have proved very popular indeed. It

LARGE DEVELOPMENT BE HADE
Linwood Female College to be Incor
porated With 9100,000 Capital and
Facilities Largely Increased New
92.1,000 Building to be Erected
and Used in Summer for Resort
Hotel School for Boys Also m
Possibility Summer Residence
Another Feature.
Sunday's Charlotte News carried
the following story which will be of ,
especial interest to Gazette readers
as the Linwood College property is
in Gaston county and within a short ,
distance of Gastonia. ;
The property of Linwood Female I
College, consisting of 325 acres of ;
land and a capacious dormitory and
other school buildings and located At j
the base of Crowders Mountain, in ;
Gaston county, Is to be Incorporated
and capitalized at $100,000, accord-,
ing to plans just completed. The
purpose is to increase the facilities
of the school for girls already there
and to greatly expand Its scope.
It Is propesed to spend about $25,
000 in buildings and improvements
at once and to lease them for hotel
purposes during the summer months.
The grounds contain the famous All
Healing, Sulphur and other springs.
The altitude of the springs Is 909
feet, while Crowders Mountain Itself
is about 1,800 feet high. Because of
the mineral waters and the altitude
of the place, it has for the last few
years become quite popular as a sum
mer home, even with the limited fa
cilities available and those behind
the plans believe that with the im
provements contemplated it will be
Ideally adapted for summer homes
and hotel purposes. It Is further
proposed to offer building lots to
those who may wjsh to construct
summer homes of their own or wno
may wish to locate there permanent
ly for the educational advantages of
fered by the college.
It is further anticipated that a
school for boys will be established
on the property, there being ample
room for such an institution there.
The property lies within less than
one-half mile of the survey of the
proposed Interurban extension from
Gastonia toward Spartanburg. It ts
six miles west of Gastonia and five
miles east of Kings Mountain. A.
splendid macadam road extending
from Shelby on the west to Charlotte
on the east runs directly through the
property.
A prosperous girl's college, or
seminary, has been maintained there
for years, being called at first Jones'
Seminary for girls, and the name be
ing changed Beveral years ago to
Linwood Female College. Rev. A.
T. Lindsay Is president of the college
now. The college was founded with
the purpose of affording educational
opportunities to young women of
limited means and has fulfilled Its
mission admirably. The purpose or
the present plans is to further In
crease its usefulness in this direc
tion and ultimately to start a boys"
school of the same kind.
The Idea of those behind the
movement, as far as the summer
home feature is concerned, Is to pro
vide summer residences something
after the manner of the Montreat re
sort near Asheville.

pang Getting Work Well Under
Way at Old Catawba Mine
Kings Mountain Herald.
The Kings Mountain Gold Mining:
Company, with home office In Phila

which will produce $40,000 worth of
gold to the ton. It has long been
known that gold In abundance could
be found on this property, but hereto
fore there was no way of saving it.
The Kings Mountain Gold Mining
Company has a new electric process
by which every particle of the live
mineral can be saved. The com
pany's chemical engineer, Mr. Roy
Luchenback, of Philadelphia, Pa., Is
the discoverer of this new process,
which has already been thoroughly
tested at the company's mines In Vir
ginia and found to be a success. In
using this new process it Is found that
the mine here produces a large per
centage of platinum, which Is wortn
more than tiwee as much as gold.
The company has Its manager on
the ground: also Mr. .1. G. Moore, of
Philadelphia, is here overhauling the
old machinery. Aditlonal machinery
of new and modern design is being
built in Philadelphia for use at this
mine, and within the next few weeks
the mine will be running at full
blast, employing a large number of
men
The company has already received.
several inouires concerning this new
process, which will be a boon to the
mining Interests of not onlv this
tlon, but to the entire world.
