IThe Gastonia Gazette.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1913.
Gastonians and Gaston countlans
will have an opportunity next Sat
urday to hear for the first time Mr.
Clarence Poe, one of the State's first
citizens and a man who has done
more than any other one man to ad
vance the agricultural interests of
the Old North State. The Gazette
bespeaks for Mr. Poe a large audi
ence on the occasion of his first vis
It to Gaston. It will par any man
In the county, be he farmer or what
not. to snatch an hour or two rrom
his labor to listen to Mr. Poe.
The Gazette today, for the second
time within a few weeks, gives Its
readers twelve pages instead of the
usual eight. This is done in order
to carry extra advertising and at the
same time give our readers the
amount of live reading matter to
which they are entitled. The pub
lishers of this paer are making a
strenuous and honest effort to give
Its subscribers full value received
for their money and the many kind
expressions which tome to us from
widely separated quarters lead us to
believe that we are not laboring in
vain. While The Gazette carries
more paid advertising than all the
other paiers in the county column
ed it also gives its readers more live
news matter than all the other pa
pers in the county combined. A
constantly increasing subscription
list furnishes substantial evidence
that our efforts to produce an up-to-date
county paixr are appreciated.

Correspondence of The Gazette.
BELMONT, Oct. 13. Last Friday

Belmont a Woman's Betterment As
sociation. At the Invitation of the
teachers In the local schools a num
ber of the ladles of town were pres
ent at the schoolhouse and after an
hour or so spent observing the work
in the various rooms, a temporary
organization was effected with Mrs.
W. B. Puett presiding. Mrs. u. A
Garrison, of Gastonia, vwho had been
Invited to assist in the organization,
took the floor and explained the
plans, purposes and workings of the
Gastonia association. Her explana
tion of the work and alms of the
Betterment Association was admlra
ble. Under her leadership, the la
dles at this meeting appointed com
mittees and made plans for a further
and permanent organization. Nest
Friday afternoon at the schoolhouse
another meeting will be held at
which time, the various committees
will report and officers for the en
suing year will be elected. Plans
will also be discussed leading to ac

This is an organization which has
been needed in Belmont for some
time and it is believed that mucn
good will be accomplished, both in
the betterment of the schools and
the civic improvement of the town.
To Mrs. Garrison's able discussion of
the workings and plans of the high
ly successful association In Gastonia
the thanks of the ladies of Belmont

Greensboro News.
"Anent the legislators who have
transportation on the railroads." re
narks the Statesville LanamarK,
"the Greensboro News Is 'brash'
enough to ask this impertinent
question:
" "What Is the attitude of states
men who are conveyors of cashless
transportation (we strive to avoid
jarring terms) toward the collec
tion of mileage from the state?'
"It is the Landmark's opinion that
some of them at least will collect
mileage from the state 10 cents
per mile at that on the ground
that the pass is a part of their wage
from the railroad companies, ac
cepted In lieu of so much cash. Oth
ers, more conscientious or to avoid
possible embarassment, will not col
lect mileage."
It is a question in ethics, and we
do not see what objection there
could be to answering It. But np to
the present writing there has been
an utter silence as to this query on
the part of the gentlemen addressed.

TOM WATSON IN COURT.
Former Populist Candidate for Pres
ident to Be Trie-d Nest Week for
Sending Obscene Literature
Through Mails Catholics Prose
cuting Him.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Augusta, Ga., under date of October
1 2th says:
Thomas E. Watson, editor and au
thor, nominee of the Populist party
for the presidency of the I'nited
States in 190 4. will be tried in tne
I'nited States District Court here
during the week beginning OctoDer
20 on a charge of sending obscene
matter through the mails.
The charges against Watson re
sulted from the publication of arti
cles in two of his magazines de
nouncing the Roman Catholic
Church. In one of these articles lie
referred to the Church beliefs as
"the most profligate of pagan relig
ion." The articles were published in
Watson's Jeftersonian of the Juiy
mil issue and in Watson's Maga
zine of the issues of April and May,
1!12. Their caption was "The Ro
man Catholic Hierarchy;" "The
Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties
and Our Civilization."
The editor was indicted by tne
Federal grand jury here November
lit, 1!12. In the indictment the al
leged objectionable words in the ar
ticles were omitted because tiiey
were so "obscene as to be offensive
to the court if set forth and improp
er to be spread upon the records of
the court."
Watson appeared as his own coun
sel at the preliminary hearing. In
defense of the article he claimed
that they could be no more objec
tionable than certain passages or
the Bible. If he were guilty of the
charge, he claimed, it would be a vi
olation of the Federal laws to send
a Bible through the I'nited States
mails.
Counsel for the Government and
the defense have agreed to begin tne
proceedings immediately after tne
opening of the Federal Court term
October 20. This agreement, it is
understood, has been approved oy
Judge Rufus E. Foster of the East
ern District of Louisiana, who will
hear the case. Judge Foster was
designated to preside at the trial In
the place of Judge Emory Speer, tne
latter having expressed a disinclina
tion to serve while impeachment pro
ceedings are pending against him.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all Its stages,
and that Is Catarrh. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure
now known to the medical fraterni
ty. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is
taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giv
ing the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na

Says Major J. C. Hemphill,
the
iamous editorial writer:
"Men are not made good by legis
lation. Conscience cannot be puri
fied and established by statutory en
actment. Tne State cannot take the
place of the family. The old-fashioned
American home was the in
spration of the great system of gov
ernment which has come down to
this generation a little frayed at the
edges because of the departure that
have been made In the living and
thinking and praying of the people."
This Is a truthful statement and
is well worth considering bv thar
class of people who think individual
goodness and sobriety can be brought
to pass by the "Be It Enacted"
route. As the Knoxvilln Journal
and Tribune well says: "The State
may aid the family; but it cannot
take its place and perform tbe
functions of the family. The boy
or young man who is not Influenced
for good by the good example or
those whom he loves, will be hard
to restrain from doing wrong by
statute. Ever since the occupation
of the Garden by our first parents,
there has been that in man whicti
resents an order not to do this or
that. It is a principle in the human
heart that is hard to eradicate. It
cannot be done by an arbitrary
command coming In the shape or a
statute or otherwise.

REACHING THE
RURAL COMMUNITY
Retailer Must Help Increase Buy
ing Capacity to Enlarge
His Business.
A town don't stop at the city limits
either in the civic or trade relations
The outlying community plays an ini-
nortant Dart in the circulation of
money in the town center. Retailers
in the small towns have In the past
particularly lacked in getting the
trade in the outlying districts. A great
corporation of implement manufac
turers have taken up a work in the
Interest of their dealers and it has
proven successful to a degree far be
yond their expectation. Their slogan
is "Cultivate and Educate." They are
teaching the farmer how to select bet
ter seed, how to better cultivate his
field and the most profitable crops
which he can grow for his immedi
ate market. Thev have sent corn ex
perts such as Professor llolden into
the backward states. They have run,
aided by the state, special agricultural
trains in charge of a staff of lecturers
on agricultural subjects. The effect
of these lectures has been felt in the.
interurban and rural districts. Tho
productiveness of the farms has in
creased. The quality of the crops has
been bettered. There has been less
waste and more money to spend
There is a saying that the more money
a man makes the more he will spend.
It is as equally true of the farmer as
of any one else. The retailers In all
lines are bound to feel the results of
any education given the farmer In his
agricultural pursuits. Therefore. It Is
up to the retailer to Join In with the
movement and to become a part of It
There need be nothing philanthropic
about it any more than there Is any
thing philanthropic about an Invest
ment. It Is easy to win farmers over
provided they have the money to
spend.
That's why it Is up to every retailer
to help Increase the farmer's buying
capacity. This is the age of service.
The percentage of business which
comes to a man unsolicited is growing
less and less every year. The retailer
must rush out from the narrow con
fines of his small surrounding com
munity into the greater fields which
lay beyond It The question arises
In the mind of the retailer, "how may
r reach the population if I deem
it profitable? I cannot afford to spend
any great amount of money for their
education along agricultural lines."
The expense must not fall upon any
one Individual, but it must enlist the
whole heart and enthusiasm of mer
chants who are public spirited enough
to help, for they have no chance to
lose a"nd every chance to gain. It
must be a spirit such as has been dis
played In the booming towns of Al
berta and Saskatchewan where each
one works for his neighbor, and find
their profits swollen by It in the year's
reckoning. The movement for self
sustaining communities is on the in
crease. Now that a new plan Is flour
ishing, with Its present growth it
should. In the future, offer a fruitful
Increase per capita wealth. We are
not preachers or prophets, yet every
thoughtful merchant will sooner or
later come to a realization that this
movement, now in the Infancy, will
some day reach enormous proportions.
Why not build now for the future?
Why not be a step In advance of the
times? The trailer, the man who
looks behind, never has traveled the
road to success as rapidly as he Inti
mated. Then let each of us be one
of the leaders instead of one of the
trailers, and take time to give this
matter the thought which It deserves.
HE DIDN'T ADVERTISE.
By Robert B. Rogers.
A business man In our town
Whose name was U. N. Wise,
Rfsolved one day to hls extent
That no more he'd advertise.
Quoth he "I'm sure my wares will Mil
For I keep the best supplies,
And folks I know will buy of mm
8o why should I advertise?"
No more within the dally press
Or the monthly magazine,
Nor in the street cars day by day
Will my business ads be seen."
His trade grew dull as time passed oa
Finally worry turned him ray.
"Oh. why," asked he. "Is business thus,
As of old why don't it pay?"
His business went from bad to worsa,
On the shelf his stock would lay.
For no one came to buy his wares,
So he closed his shop one day.
No more above that store we se

As he Is oui of business now
For he would not advertise.
Fourth Estat.
He Knew What to Do.
A man who lived in a thriving sub
urb came home from his holidays one
day and found a burglar in his house.
He rushed up to one of the wide
awake policemen that wander around;
that particular suburb and said, "Offi
cer, I want help."
The officer rubbed his eyes and re
plied, "Why don't you put an ad la
the paper?"
