SEPT EMBER 5. 1013. NO. 71. $5,000 TRIBUTE YEARLY SHORT LOCAL ITEMS TRAGEDY AT ML HOLLY WILL DEMAND 15 CENTS STORM SWEEPS STATE NEWS OF THE COUNTY GASTONIANS ROBBED BY RATES ON COAL THE MOVEMENTS OF GASTON PEOPLE INTERURBAN CAR STRIKES PICNIC CROWD COTTON CROP TO BE HELO FOR THAT? MUCH CROP DAMA6E IS THE RESULT Freight Rate on Coal from West Virginia to Gastonia is $2.55 Per Ton, Twenty Cent More Than to Chester, Kwk Hill, Charlotte and Columbia People of Gastonia Pay Every Year to the Railroad a Tribute of $5,000 on Coal How We Suffer on This One Article. Gastonia pays a tribute of $5,000 every year to the railroads for tne privilege of getting coal. This is one instance where a dis crimination in freight rates hits everyman, woman and child in town. We all use coal, directly or in directly, at some time in the year. Over 600 car loads of coal, averag ing 40 tons to tin c ar. are shipped into Gastonia every twelve months for local consumption. The rate is $2.55 per ton as against $2.35 for lxwell. Belmont, Charlotte, Rock Hill, Chester, and Columbia. The same amount of coal shipped to Lo well, six miles east of Gastonia, or to Belmont, 12 miles east. wouid cost the users in those towns at ieast $5,000 less than it costs Gas tonia. Not only so but this same coal Is shipped from the West Virginia mines right through Gastonia to Blacksburg, S. ('., 22 miles further "west, for the same rate as is charg ed in Gastonia. namely $2.55; for the same freight this coal Is carried 56 miles further west than Gastonia, to Spartanburg, S. C. In the matter of coal this discrim ination in freight rates hits the manufactures hardest, of course. A bout half the mills in Gastonia use steam power and consequently a very large quantity of coal. In ad dition to this enormous burden of $S tribute to the railroads per car on coal pall by the manufacturers, the average family is burdened also. It does not hit the average family to su,ch an extent that, they feel the burden much but nevertheless it is outrageous that every family In the town snouiu be compelled to pay a tribute of $1 to $2 per year to t lie Tallroads on this one article or necessity. The facts given above were not guessed at, by any means. Tliey are facts according to a very con servative estimate of a very conser vative man who deals in coal and who knows just about how nuun coal is shipped into Gastonia every year. As the town grows, which It it doing constantly, the amount or coal shipped in increases and the consequent tribute to the railroads increases also for the town. Doesn't this interest you. Mr. Manufacturer and Mr. Average Man? If so, join the Gaston County Just Freight Rate Association and put your shoiilder to the wheel in this fight for justice which the busi ness men of the State from Murpny to Manteo are making with a deter mination that will brook no denial. Membership cards are in the hands of all of the wholesale men of the town and of the officers of the asso ciation. See some one of these and show your colors by signing one or them. New names are being added to the list dally and prospectspotni to a total membership of 1,000 or more in this county by the time fie Legislature meets on September 24tn.

Miss Emma Sanford, Aged 20, and Isaac Itrymer, 19 Years Old, of South Point, Dashed to Death by P. & X. IHMible-Header Misses Cora Sanford and Jennie Howell and Mr. Lloyd Sanford Injured Was Part of Sunday School Picnic Party From Belmont to Riverside Park. , One of the most horrible accidents In the history of Gaston county oc curred last Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the Costner crossing In Mt. Holly when northbound P. & X. car No. 16, in charge of Motorman Jonn son and Conductor Griswold, crasn ed into a wagon load of Sunday school picnickers bound from Bel mont to Riverside Park, killing two, Miss Emma Sanford and Ike Brymer and injuring three others. The In jured are Miss Cora Sanford, Mr. Lloyd Sanford and Miss Jennie How ell, of Charlotte, sister, brother and cousin respectively of the dead girt. The horse and the mule hitched to the wagon were also killed. The Sunday schools of the Metn odist and Baptist churches In Bel mont and from the South Point Methodist church had united in a joint picnic to Riverside Park and were making the trip in wagons and buggies. Between 1 .n and 2(Ml peo ple, were in the crowd. The major- ity of the people had reached the park and the ill-fated wagon in charge of Mr. Jerome 1 1 ft uer t y was the third from the last in the nro- iiif.L-inn anI it ' . i; i It, kilt 1 ".II lordu ? n i advance of the next one behind. There were in this wagon thosr named and one other, Mr. James Hagerty, a brother of the driver. He was sitting in the back of the wagon and escaped injury by' a backward jump from the rear end. Eyewit nesses in the wagon to the rear and those living nearby as well as those in the party say that on Hearing the car tracks, the Brymer boy stood up in the wagon to watch for a car. Those in the wagon say that the par ties were discussing the chances of being hit by a car and were therefore on the lookout. Mr. Brymer neith er seeing nor hearing a car instruct ed the driver to go ahead. When too late to stop or turn back the car bore down on them with the fearful results as given. After striking tne waggon and team, converting the for mer into kindling wood and hurling the latter into the air as high as the trolley wire, the car ran feet he fore being brought to a stop. A man living near the scene of the accident measured the distance from the crossing to where the car was brought to a standstill and found it to be a distance of 11 rails, or :! 0 n feet. This will serve to give an Idea of how fast the car was running, and with the brakes applied. Opin ions difTer as to the rate at which the car was going, from the 12 miles an hour in the published account of The Charlotte Observer to the tn miles an hour rate of the excited eye-witnesRes. The most likely the ory is that the train, a double-header, running a few minutes late and with another car waiting to pass In the yards at Mt. Holly, was running at. from 2" to 30 miles an hour, not an unusual and a regular rate of run ning for the Interurban. A few moments after the accident a crowd of 200 or 300 persons had assembled at the scene. The Injured were removed to the home of Mr. W. H. B. Lineberger just a short distance away and their wounds dressed. Drs. McCoy. Rhyne. Orr and Davis being the first physicians to reach the spot. Wednesday morning the Misses San ford and Howell were taken to the hospital in Charlotte where they are getting along nicely. Xeither is se riously injured. The hoy, Lloyd San ford. was able to return to his home Tuesday afternoon. The bodies of the dead were pre pared for burial in Mt. Holly and taken to their homes in the South Point section, four or five miles South of "Belmont Tuesday afternoon. Their funerals were held Wednesday morning. Rev. J. A. Bowies conduct ing the services of Miss Sanford with interment following at Moore's chap el cemetery in Mecklenburg county. Rev. W. S. Lacy conducted the fun eral of young Brymer and the body was interred in Goshen graveyard. The parents of both the deceased are well nigh prostrated with grler over their tragic death, as Is also young Jerome Hagerty, the driver or the wagon. Charlotte Observer. A farmer was arrested and fined the other morning for selling some adulterated milk, adulterated with a little harmless water. He wore at the same time a suit of all wool (?) clothes badly adulterated with shod dy materials, and boots whose soles were adulterated with paper, or wood shavings. For breakfast he drank adulterated coffee, his meat was spiced with adulterated pepper, his cakes powder, his pickets soured with adulterated vinegar, his pie was seasoned with adulterated spice, his wife was out of sorts because sne could not make bread out of aduler ated flour that had been run In oft her for the "best." In fact he saw and felt the effects of adulteration which ever way he looked, and had never heard of the adulterators toe ing arrested and fined. Yet there are those who blame the farmer for complaining of blng discontented. National Farmers I'nion, in Conven tion at Salina, Kan., Hinds Its Members to Hold Cotton This Year for Fifteen Cents Yield Ks timated at 14,074,500 Hales ln ion Favors Longer School Terms and Compulsory Education. An Associated Press dlspatcn from Salina, Kan., dated yesterday and appearing in this morning's pa pers says: The high cost of living will be higher as a result of the action of the Xational Farmers' L'nion here today in fixing the price at which members will sell this year's crop or cotton at 15 cents a pound. The present price is approximately 12 cents. The action of the convention binds every member of the union to hold his cotton until the market reaches the figures set. Although in the past repeated efforts have been made to have a similar resolu tion passed by the convention, the advocates of the proposal always failed to muster the necessary votes. This year there was no opposition to the plan. Several of the leading cotton growers wanted minimum figures lixed at 17 cents or IS cents pointed out that owing to the lightness of the money market and the unsettled conditions in Europe and this coun try prices of all products would soar and cotton would bring that price IT the members of the union held out. Experts employed by the union esti mate this year's yield at 1 4,0 7 4, .100 bales. Last year it was 14, 2ii0,0"t bales and the price averaged twelve cents. There are nearly 2,000,000 mem bers of the union who are cotton growers and leaders in the move ment say their neighbors who arc not members of the union will join in holding the crop until It can be marketed at 1.1 cents a pound. The minimum price at which cottonseed will be sold was $:!() a ton and mem bers were pledged to hold out Tor that figure. Last year's price rang ed around $2 which is approxi mately the present market figure. Consolidation of rural schools as the best method of improving the educational system in rural com munities and thus make farm lire more attractive, was endorsed In a resolution which also called for an increase in the length of the rurar school term and compulsory attend ance. Other resolutions urged greater protection for animals and birds and a chair of marketing In the agriculture departments of State universities. Education through im proved schools, lectures and the press was endorsed as the foremost factors in the advancement or the fanner. NEW PAPER AT SALISBURY. Will be Published Under the Salis bury Date Line Soon, the First Is sue to Appear About the First or October A Semi-Weekly Pitched on Broad Kasis is the Ambition of Publisher. Special to The Gazette. Salisbury, X. ('., Sept. 1. The Yadkin Valfey Herald Is the name of a new paper to be launched under the Salisbury date line some ttlme wry soon. The Yadkin Valley Her ald will be published twice-a-weeK and will take over the Semi-Weekly POST, a paper with several thousand subscribe: s. It will be under the diiect management of Mr. C. D. Rose, as business manager, and unne: tne editorial direction of Mr. J. F. Hur ley, and these will be aided by sev eral contributing editors. The paper will be pitched on a broad basis and b'os to become a paper of more than local circu'atfon and influence, it will be independ ent and in no way associated with any other publication. It will seek o give a full and complete news service, and in addition give special attention to the most Important is sues of our present day living es pecially those issues and problems which have n,ost to do with the rur al advance of Xorth Carolina. In promoting this publication Mr. Hurley said: "The Semi-Weekly Post, by reason of the fact that it is largely an output of the daily Post, i not meeting the needs for a semi weekly paper in this immediate sec tion. This has been due to the fact that it has never teen made a paper of single purpose and identity. Its personality, so to speak, has been lost In the Dally Post. Yet there Is a field fpr such a paper as we hope to make of the Yadkin Valley Herald. Rowan and sections of adjoining counties need just such a paper as we have In mind, and we bellve that In a few years our publication will be meeting with a generous support and be servng a splendid purpose. Its coming will be slow, as a matter of course. It must prove itseir, and thow to the people of this Yadkin Valley that it Is worthy of their con sideration. It Is undertaken in full confidence In the field and In the reople upon jhoin we must rely Tor support. Time will te.l what can be done with such , a paper, but but as roj me I belief a In it." Life is a casket .not precious in It self, but valuable , proportion to what fortune, or Industry, or virtue has placed within it. Landor. Coastal Storm loes Much Damage In Eastern Section of State Wash ing and New Hern Flooieti Bridge Over Tar River Washed . way Thousands of Dollars Worth of Damage Done to Crops. A terrific storm of hurricane like proportions swept over tho eastern section of Xorth Carolina Wednes day afternoon and night continuing till yesterday. Dispatches iroin Raleigh and other cities in the af flicted section say: Raleigh, X. C, Sept. 4. He7y damage to growing crops, resulted from the severe rain and wind storm which yesterday swept eastern Xorth Carolina, according to reports whlcn reached here today.

Flood warnings for districts along the XV use and Tar rivers were Issued by the local weather bureau today upon compilation of rainfall reports ,from the sections above. A coastal storm that crossed the country and swept the eastern sec tion of Xorth Carolina yesterday, flattened crops near maturity and w rought a damage in Xorth Carolina that may never be entirely known. The tract of the wind, which was an uncommon rain accompaniment, was over the northeastern section of the State, and broke in the Interior The sweep was wide and furhtus. Old Inhabitants have not witnessed longer fury, and rarely have tliey seen such a rainfall. Lucky were the mainlines of the Seaboard.

The track of the stoini was rrom tho northeast. It was so wido that tho weatther bureau could not tell what. It was. Few old timers ever saw such opportunity fo. destruction. The wind blew at a furious gait but never went over 3 0 niies an hour, according to the bureau. Many times and for long periods it w,cnt at n 30-mile clip, twisting; tops of trees off and scattering them over town. On the Capitol lawn these small branches cover tho green earth but no big trees fell. They were expected, and many stood and watc hed to see the oaks of fifty and more years topple over on the roof or on the lawn. A few blocks away a great maple did fall on Mc Dowell street and In Its wake electric wires and telephone cables went, but all houses were missed. Very little of such destruction locally is reported. PHOXES ARE SILEXT. The mouths of twelve hundred tel ephones are hushed this morning. Cntll night, the number had not gone beyond a thousand, so far as known. The Bell seems to have suffered a thousand silences and tne Raleigh two hundred by estimate. These are not accurate. They may be more or lens. Secretary of State Grimes receiv ed advices today from his plantaton near Grlmesland, Pitt county, to tne effect that his place was the center of the storm area and suffered great ly. There were 130 splendid oaK trees In the yard and adjoining groves at the Grimes estate blown down. Crops are also badly damag ed. Col. Grimes left this afternoon to take a look at the sltuaton. IK V K LOPM EXTS EX PECTED. William Bayard Hale Discusses Me, lean Situation With President Given Description of Conditions as He Saw Them. Washington, Sept. 4. William Bayard Hale, who spent the :ast three months studying political con ditions in Mexico, laid before Pres ident Wilson today information he gathered about the Huerta govern ment and also conferred with Sec retary Bryan. He declined to discuss his visit with the administration officials but It is understood gave them an inti mate description of the negotiations conducted by John Llnd and the or flclals of the provisional President up to a week ago today, when he left Mexico City. So far as is known Mr. Hale's connection with those negotiations was unofficial and in formal. Dispatches from Mexico City say ing prominent Mexicans believed Huerta would resign in favor of Ge ronimo Trevino and thus make him self an eligible candidate for the presidency, lacked confirmation here but the news was not surprisiing to administration officials. While they are still honing for a definite assur ance that Huerta will not be a can didate, they realize that a plan to Install blm In the presidency Has been under way for some time. Xo Indication has been given .as to the administration's future poli cy should Mr. Lind's efforts to ob tain a definite assurance of Huer ta's elimination prove fruitless, but developments of either an affirma tive or negative character are ex pected soon "which will, affect tne United States Government's policy materially.
