J . VAGXTWa THE GASTONIA GAZBTZB. GA8T05IA IS A BUST TOWH . FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1914. fHE Gastonia Gazette FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1914. THE NEW CHAIRMAN. In selecting Dr. O. G. Falls, or Kings Mountain, as their chairman, the other jnembers of the board of county commissioners made a wise selection. Dr. Falls has served on the board continuously since Decem ber, 1904, a period of nearly ten years. A business man of experi ence and ability, his wise and con servative counsel has been of great value to the county. As chairman, he will be in a position to render the county even better service. As sec retary and treasurer of the Cora and Dilling Cotton Mills at Kings Moun tain and as one of that town's most prominent and active business men, he has been successful to a marked degree. That he will bring to his new position the same careful and painstaking business ability and sys tem that he has displayed in his pri vate enterprises goes without saying. CLEAX-UI DAY. Monday next is to be observed in Gastonia as Clean-l'p Day. The Wo man's Betterment Association, which is sponsor for this occasion, calls upon every man, woman and child in the town to do his or her part in helping to rid the streets, yards and vacant lots of all rubbish. It is a work well worth all the time and trouble that it will impose and The Gazette hopes that all Gas tonians will join heartily in the movement. A clean town means a healthy town. It means an attract ive town. It means a good town, one which will attract people who axe looking for a place to locate. Mosquitoes and flies are unnecessary pests. They can be eliminated. When they have been done away ' ous charitably inclined and promtn with typhoid fever and malarial re- ent business men have endorsed the , , I movement most heartily, all agree- yer will be diseases almost if not Jng that u wi fln a need in the quite unknown here. Both of these state that has long demanded at insecta breed in filth. Remove the tention. filth and you rid the town of the pests. Gastonia has had two clean-up days in the past. They have been pretty well observed and much was accomplished but it is hoped that next iMonday will show much larger results than either of the previous Clean-Up Days. If we think enougn of our town to keep it clean, others will think enough of it to. talk about it away from here and thus influ ence those seeking locations to come here. Every day should be Clean- Up Day, to be sure; but Monday should be an extraordinary Up Day. MR. ATKIXS MIST HEHAVE HIM SELF. Salisbury Post. The Gastonia Gazette has intimat ed that the slogan. "Watch Char lotte Grow," was pilfered from Ta coma Tacoma, be it known, is a little, insignificant pump station somewhere west of the big river. According to Atkins, Kan Preston stole that slogan from Tacoma. ana having deliberately pilfered it and applied it to his adopted city, he now seeks to ride into Congress on this fame which is no more or less than a reflection of a western water station. We are not desirious of entering into this fight which is now on between the Daddy of the Char lotte club and the champion ball pitcher of the House, but we do not want to see our neighbor slandered by a country newspaper editor who wears glasses and chews sassafras sticks. Wasn t Charlotte long be- J fore Tacoma? Did the signers nor sign long before Tacoma was ever I dreamed on in Indian lore? f Haven't the benighted westerners , been reading about the City of Van- I ity all their brief lives, and would it not be natural for them to desire a ; slogan patterned after the only one ' worth while? Tacoma stole Ran's ' slogan. (Jet history right and keep it right for even in Gastonia it may be possible for the truth to prevail. The Gazette also finds fault with tne Tryon street slogan "Mecklenburg for Mecklenburg." No one ought to deny them this, for certainly no on3 else wants it. or them, as the case may be. Ran cannot go to Congress on this slogan, for Mecklenburg has long been obsorbed by other inter ests than Mecklenburg. Paw Creek. Sugar Creek and other small streams that flow through the city of vanity fair have long lost their identity and know not of the good (lavs of Mer-k- lenburg independence. If the Meek- I lenburg candidate loses the honor and glory of the slogan we shall have to vote against him. unless he can eh cuv a better baseball record than Webb, for every time we bea these blooming Republicans playing ball it is due in ' ungrudging meas ure" to Webb's master arm. But we only started out to call Atkins down. He sought to have the tail wag the dog and he must not do this he cannot and get away with it. Half our fun is watching Char lotte Grow, and hanged if we are going to have the snap and spirit ta ken out by a Western pump stations claim, aided and abetted by a prej udiced newspaper editor of a subur ban town. Atlantic Coast Line stockholders In railed meeting at Richmond.

Mr. Babington had been harboring tne idea for a long time and had. during the past few months, placed it he fore a number of religious and fra ternal organizations, all of whicti heartily endorsed the movement. It is now taking tangible shape and the incorporators and members of the initial board of directors expect to see it built in the near future. As yet no plans have been developed with reference to the location, site, etc. These details, however, will, it is expected, begin to take shape at an early date. That there is great need for an institution of this kind in Xortn Carolina is acknowledged on all sides.

Village Dwindling Into Ruins and Fast Disappearing. Tlit Philadelphia Record. The village of Appomattox, the plac e of Lee a surrender 4 9 ye irs Lgo on April K, has fallen into i i;u aua iias nejily disappeared. Ton.-3 houses have curvived fire, storm ana neglect, but even these are wai;,:i and sagging, i'.i.d the promise is tli;it they, too, wiii soon rot, and that weeds, followed by scrub pine, will overrun their site. Two of these houses have been long abandoned, but that one is now occupied by tne larnc family of a small farmer, tranei to that part of Virginia and nnf a.mliar with, and indifferent to. the great memories that cluster a round that tragic ground. At the time of the surrender tne village was the seat of Appomattox county. It was then, after four years of war, a seedy, ramshackle cross-roads hamlet. A cluster or dwellings, mostly of wood, a few lawyers' offices, a couple of doctors' offices, a tavern, a smithy, a hiring stable and a store or two leaned a round the sleepy court house square. The court building was burned down 20 years ago, and today the desolate court house square is cumbered with ashes, charred plaster, shattered bricks and bits of heat-distorted glass. In a particularly dark patch of a gloomy stretch of pines the visitor comes upon the North Carolina mon ument. The inscription on this mon ument which gives glorious praise to the soldiers of North Carolina, has caused tense and bitter controversy in the South. The inscription fol lows: "LAST AT APPOMATTOX "At this place the North Carolina brigade of Brigadier General W. H. Cox, of Grimes' division, fired tne last volley April 9. 1 8 65. "Major General Bryan Grimes, or North Carolina, planned the last battle fought by the Army of Nortn ern Virginia and commanded the in fantry engaged therein, the greater part of whom were North Carolin ians. "This stone is erected by the au thority of the General Assembly or North Carolina in grateful and per petual memory of the valor, endur ance and patriotism of her sons, who followed with unshaken fidelity tne fortunes of the Confederacy to this (losing scene, faithful to the end. "Erected April , 1 90.". "North Carolina Appomattox Commission: H. A. lxndon. chair man: E. J. Holt. V. T. Jenkins. Cy rus S. Watson, A. I). McGill." On the opposite side of the mon ument is this inscription: "North Carolina. First at Bethel. Farthest to tho front at Gettysburg and Chickamauga. Last at Appo mattox." THE NAVY DRV OHOER. Secretary Daniels' Order Causing Naval Officer Some Worry. Albany, N. V., April T. The "dry" order issued by Secretary Joseph us Daniels for the Navy recently ;s causing three State officials worry over which kind of a silver service shall be purchased for the battle ship "New York." At the last session of the Legisla ture a bill appropriating $h.ihmi r0r the purchase of a silver service Tor the new ship was passed and a few days later the Governor signed it. Thus did he also make himself. Lieutenant Governor Wagnor and Speaker Sweet responsible for the se lection of the present. Today the Governor was in a quandary. "We may have to eliminate the punch bowl and substitute a pic kie dish." he said. He hopes that either the Lieuten ant Governor or the Speaker will ne able to suggest a way out of the dif ficulty. SKXIOK RFX'KITIO.V Enjoyable Occasion Iast Saturday Evening At Roiling Springs Hign School .Juniors Hots To Gradu ating (la. Correspondence of The Gazette. SHELBY, Route 3, Apr. 9. "The best yet" was the verdict of those who attended the reception given by the Junior class to the Senior class on last Saturday evening in the Athenian Hall. On entering the hall the guests were received by the com mittee and were told that a short story was expected of them. By fives they were then taken a cross to the Kalagathian Hall where they found upon a table one hundred and one articles commonly used in a school girl's room. Five minutes were allowed to look at those artic les and then the persons were taken back to Athenian Hall and told to tell their story which was to give a list of all the things on the tabTe. Such a surprise they had not ex pected. A spelling contest followed in which was lots of fun for the con testants. Misses Nell Sholar anT Edna Lattlmore won the first prize and Miss Vada Jones the booby. A delicious course of refreshment was served consisting or caKe. cream, salads, punch, fruits and nuts.

EVERYBODY reads papers these days. Most per sons read two or three and sometimes more. They are os essential as breakfast. a regular ns supper.

And you get the Inform!) tion you seek along with much other news, gossip fact, fancy and entertain ment. The day is not com plete without the paper. You start the day with n glance at it. and you are likely to lay It down to prepare for slumber. The paper that is so essen tial to you is equally essen tial to your neighbor. He. too. rends it and finds therein the things he wants to know. Its appenl is universal. Its circulation coextensive with mankind. That Is what makes the newspaper the best advertis ing medium that civilization has devised. It reaches ev erybody, or nt least the frac tion that It does not reach is so small as to be negligible.
