' i FOR CLEANER AND MORE SANITARY CITY Movement on Foot Looking to the ' Establishment of City Abattoir and Meat and Milk Inspection Slaughter Pens of Meat Markets Not Sanitary and Perfectly Sare City Physician Stovall Will Recom mend These Measures. That Gastonla needs a recognized government expert meat and milk in spector and should have an abattoir for the slaughter of all meats sold In the markets Of the city, are among the recommendations that are to t)e made to the city council at its next meeting Tuesday night by City Phy sician A. Stovall. Dr. Stovall has reached this conclusion after a visit to and careful Inspection of tne slaughter pens in and around tne city. The conditions found in these butchering places, says Dr. Stovall are far from sanitary and cleanly. Refuse scraps of bone and meat, blood and other waste products are not disposed of In the proper man ner. The houses are not properly screened and protected from flies. The local market men admit that conditions around the slaughter pens are not what they should be and de clare that they stand ready for any proposed improvement, provided trie change will better conditions. Some of them say that they are in favor of the abattoir If properly conduct ed and recognized by the govern ment and with a government expert In charge, provided the cost to the city of such an Innovation will not be too much. If this abattoir were established, all meat to be used in the city would have to be killed and dressed there. It would be Inspected both before and after slaughtering. Mr. J. O. Fayssoux says that he Is heartily m favor of such a move. If conducted along the proper lines. He recog nizes that conditions as they exist are not of the best. Dr. Stovall, speaking of these slaughter pens and the probable dan ger from tainted meat, says that In his practice he has found patients supposedly suffering from appendi citis when examination revealed tne presence of Intestinal parasites de veloped from eating tainted meat. Referring to the milk he says that of his own knowledge, In a certain college In the West, a large per cent of the students developed tuberculo sis from drinking milk from tuber culary affected cows. He says that milk, meat, vegetables and the llKe should be subjected to the examina tion of an expert who knows. In this, the market men agree also. It is the Intention of Dr. Stovall to recommend these measures to city council at iis next meeting, conditions are as bad as they generally supposed to be, then city fathers should adopt some mediate form of relief. tne If are the lm- NEWS NOTES.

Gantonia Is Pursuing the Even Tenor of Her Way. The Fourth is being celebrated In Gastonla by the conspicuous absence of any formal celebration of any kind. The negroes as usual are cel ebrating with a picnic, ball game and brass band. The majority of those not tied down to work In office, shop or factory have hied themselves a- way, some to Shelby, some to Ches- , ter, others to Llncolnton, and still others to Mt. Holly. At the latter place tonight the pyrotechnic display will doubtless attract many others. Many of those who would have cele brated today, but feel unable to take two days this week are holdlig over to hear Governor Cole Blease in Dallas tomorrow; others are holding) over for the second day at Shelby. On the streets of Gastonla will he found the usual number of &walns from the country with their fair damsels w ho Invariably take the Fourth of July for a visit to town. Except for the fact that the oanta and postofnej and a few other places of like nature, to-wlt: The city hall and court house are empty of their customary occupants, things are se renely rocking along today in the same old way. The merchants are enjoying a little extra Increare In rade as the result of the fw visi tors. At this writing 12 months ago, the fctreets of Gastonla were thronged with the most cosmopolitan crowd tnat ever sojourned for a day within the ates of the city. SOME HOT, YES. Thermometer at Various Places In Town Run Marathon With Each Other. Whether Wednesday or yesterday wtb the hottest day of the 6ummr so far is a debatable question, hut thst both days were undeniably slightly warm goes without quest ion. The Charlotte papers give it out that 0. e temperature In their . city was (7.2 and 98 degrees, respecively, but there are any number of re!ahle 1. uth-telHng citizens of Gastonia who are teady to make affidavit to tnj statement that If the mercury In Ta .'iohl thermometers around town did rot crawl up to the 99 and 100 de gree point, then their eyes are woe fully inefficient. At Torrence's &rvg. store In the shade Just outside the dear Wednesday at 1 p. m. it is stat ed by those in authority thSA - the piak liquid, or is it a metal, climbed till it was abreast the 100 point. In the sun out on the sidewalk at the same time it registered 110. Bow e'er It be. that it has been hot goes without question.
