AGS TWO. THK GA8TO.Y1A GAZETTE. GASTONIA IS A BUST TOWN. FRIDAY, MARCH 80, 1914. The Gastonia Gazette. FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1914. PRESS AND Pl'LPlT. Charlotte Chronicle. In a friendly letter to this news paper Rev. V. C. Barrett, pastor of the First Baptist chun li of Gastonia. makes the point that the press or these times is too far removed from the activities of the pulpit. i want to commend you." lu- says, "for pub lishing sermons in jour paper recent ly. I have heard -e.ral favorable comments on it. As a rule too little from the pulpit and too much from the slums pets into the papers (Mten our daily papers display and n : .i uni fy the worst of our ny life and ne glect the best ot ii. The pull' be tween the pulpit and the press is too broad." Mr. Barrett is riht. but with some modi tii at ion s. The truth Is that while the press is somewhat dis tanced from the pulpit these times, the line of separation is not nearly SO distinct as it was in other times. If the gulf is at present too lnoad. It must have been staggeringly so .. few years ago for it is a matter or common knowledge and observation that there never was a time in tne career of journalism when it was paying so much attention to the ac tivities of the church as right now. Church news is being displayed and magnified to the exclusion of trie slum tragedies and hack street scan dals which were formerly crowding out of the newspapers the most wor thy and the most constructive char acter of news. This incident brings up the old agitation as to what to print and ev ery day there is evidence that the best newspapers of the times are getting around to the conception that there is more interest in the building of a bridge than in the tear ing down of a character. They are discarding the colored and sensa tional stuff that was eagerly devour ed a few years ago and seeking at this moment to educate the people up to a point where they will appre ciate news of a constructive type. Af ter all this is the only sort worth while and the only sort that the people should have an interest in. Possibly it is true that the pulpit and the press are still a good dis tance apart. The point. however, we are making and the point we believe that the ministers and church peo ple generally will accede to is that they are getting closer together ev ery day. The metropolitan newspa pers are finding in the activities or the church a character of news that is not only worth printing, but pre cisely the character or news in which a great throng of their readers are directly interested and in which they have a prominent part. Through their news and editorial columns they are endeavoring to do a service to the church by the dissemination of news and comment favorable to whatever line of effort the churches are putting forth and in this manner they are reducing by material dis tances the breadth of the gulf that has been separating the pulpit and the press. gkorge westinghouse. XASH ELECTS. lr. Washburn, of the State Board of Health, Elected Whole Time Coun ty Health Officer. At a recent meeting of the Nash County Board of Health Dr. B. R. Washburn, of Rntherfordton, was unanimously elected whole time county health officer. Dr. Wasn turn was selected from a list or 12 or 15 applicants for the position and is considered unusually qualifi ed for such work. Dr. Washburn holds the deeree or A. B., A. M. and M. P.. being a ?rai uate of the University of North Carolina and Virginia. For several years he was librarian at both uni versities. After graduating in medi cine -at the University or Virginia he spent one year in hospital practice and later, a year in private practice, at his home town. This he gave up to accept a position with the Rocke feller Sanitary Commission as field director, in which capacity he has been employed for the past year. Nash county is fortunate in secur ing the services of this particularly qualified young physician who will devote his entire time to preventing sickness and reducing the death rate In that county. Nash county is also to be congrat ulated for taking this wise and pro gressive step. It is unfortunate that more of our counties do noi do likewise. NEAR DEATH BY SMOTHERING Famous Inventor Who Pied Last Week Started His Career at Fif teen Many High Honors Confer red l"Mn Him in America ami Eu rope. Ueorge Westinghouse, inventor of the ait brake and many other valu able devii es, w ho died last Friday at his home in New York city, was (is years old and was perhaps best known as the inventor of the air brake which bears his name and which revolutionized railroading in this country. He was bom at Central Bridge. N. V., and rec eived his early education in the common schools. He served in the war between the sections. At his death he was the president of nearly :'.0 corporations. The airbrake which he invented is used throughout the civilized world and in almost every part of the globe are great plants whic h he founded. Mr. Westinghouse became an in ventor when 1 j years old, produc ing a rotary engine. Four years later he constructed a device for replacing , derailed steam cars. Then, when 21 ! years old. he sought the financial backing of the late Commodore Cor nelius Vanderbilt. for his now fa mous airbrake, perfected after three years of labor. "Do you mean to tell me you can stop a railroad train by wind? de manded the commodore. "Well, yes. inasmuch as air Is wind, I suppose you are right." spoke the youth. "I have no time to waste on fools." said the coinmodore'fTTus abruptly terminating the interview. West inghouse sought and found capital elsewhere, manufactured his Inven tion, and made hinh speed possible on railroads, revolutionizing traffic systems. Mr. Westinehouse did not confine his genius to raijroads. For half a century he continued to make other contributions to electrical as well as engineering advancement. His In ventions and improvements had to do with railway signaling and power safety devices and for economically conveying natural gas over lone dis tances and using it for fuel: air springs for motor vehicles of all kinds, and a geared turbine system for the propulsion of ships, develop ed in collaboration with the late Ad miral George W. Melville, 1. S. N'., and John If. MacAlnine. I In return for his achievements the highest honors of technical -ocie'ies and institutions of Europe and Amer ica were bestowed upon Mr. West inghouse. European sovereigns al so conferred distinguished orders. As recently as last December he re ceived from the principal engineer ing society of Germany the celebrat ed Crashof gold medal. Mr. Westinghouse founded many manufacturing companies in the United States and abroad, including plants at East Pittsburgh. Wilberd ing. Swissvale and Trafford City. I'a., and others in Hamilton, Canada; Manchester and London, England: Havre. France: Hanover. Germany: ft. Petersburg. Russia: Vienna, Aus trailia. and Vado. Italy. In these in dustries about 0;f)i"iO persons are emploved and the comnnnips have a capitalization of $2f0.nnn.nnn. Mr. WesJinehouse's mental alert ness and activity remained unim paired to the last. His final years of life were among the most productive. For several months, however, he had limited his activities.

Bat Husband, With Aid of Cardui, Effedi Her Deliverance.' Draper, N C Mrs. Helen Dalton, of this place, says: "I suffered for years, with pains in my left side, and would often almost smother to death. Medicines patched me up for awhile but then I would get worse again. Final ly, my husband decided he wanted me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, so he bought me a bottle and I began using it. It did me more good than afl the medi cines I had taken. I have induced many of my friends to try Cardui, and they all sa they have been benefited by its use. There never has been, and never will be, a medicine to compare with Cardui. I believe it is I rood medicine for all womanly trou bles." For over 50 years, Cardui has been re lieving woman's sufferings and building weak women up to health and strength. If you are a woman, give it a fair trial. It should surely help you, as it ha$ a Billion others. Get a bottle of Cardui to-day. Wrtb Ui Chattwwof Madldftt Co, Ladies' ' Advisory Dct..
