Cost of About $135,000 To Have
Hoof Garden and Large Assembly
HaIH-1'lans Now Heing Prepared
for Huilding Stock Company
of Local Men to be Organized.
Announcement is made by Col. T,
L. Ctaig and associates that they will
bujld, In the near future on Mam
ayenue, in the heart of the business
section of Gastonia, a handsome
Modern hotel to cdst between $100,
jOOO and $125, OOd. The exact site
;on which the styiicture Is to be lo
l cated has not ben named, though
I two or more ar under consideration.
' The structuteis to be six or. eight
j stories in height, topped by a roof
1 garden, which will be the first notei
I roof garden in this section of the
State. It is planned to have on the
rround floor four commodious store
Doms. A large assembly hall, suffi
cient to accommodate any meuium
v . . .
slzkri convention, will be included In
th
MessTA. TenEych Drown and L.
D. Proffitt, associate architects of
Atlanta and Spartanburg, have been
engaged for some weeks in prepar
ing the preliminary plans for this
structure and they will probably be
in the hands of Col. Craig and ready
for exhibition within a few days.
When asked by a Gazette repre
sentative yesterday when he expected
to begin active construction on the.
building Col. Craig said that, just as
soon as the plans and specifications
arrived, it was his purpose to organ
ize a company and solicit stock from
the business men of the city. A few
weeks will be required to consum
mate the preliminary features of the
enterprise and then a contract will
be let and work commenced.
"I pledged myself, at the first
meeting of the Chamber or Com
merce," said Col Craig, "to see that
Gastonia got a hotel in the near
future and I expect to make good
my promise. I have been working
on the proposition for some time and
am now getting it in tangible shape.
I and my associates are not antago
nizing anybody and are simply going
forward with a plan which we have
had in mind for some time. We be
lieve that the business section or
Main avenue is the logical place for
a big hotel. We expect to have a
hundred-room hostlery with every
modern convenience. The roof gar
den, which will be the only one here
abouts, will be a special reature or
the house as will also be a commodi
ous assembly hall. We hope, with
in a very short time, to be able to
give out something more definite
with reference to our plans."
For the Legislature.
As will be seen by his announce
ment carried elsewhere in today's
Gazette, Mr. G. H. Marvin is a can
didate for the Democratic nomina
tion as one of the representatives of
Gaston county in the next General
Assembly. Mr. Marvin is proprietor
and manager of the Gastonia Coca
Cola Bottling Co., of Gastonia, and
is known as an allround hustler. He
has been a resident of Gastonia for
the past seven or eight years and
has aligned himself with all the
forward movements inaugurated Tor
the advancement of Gastonia's inter
ests. He was one of the five men
who volunteered to solicit members
for the Gastonia Chamber of Com
merce and is chairman of tne mem
bership committee and a member of
the board of directors of the cham
ber. Asked by The Gazette about his
candidacy Mr. Marvin said: "I have
no axe to grind. I don't ride on
passes; pay my railroad fare when I
go anywhere. Have hurrahed for
Gastonia for seven years and will do
the same for Gaston county if the
good people of the county see fit to
send nie to Raleigh. I want tne
honor of being one of the represent
tatives of the best county in North
Carolina in the Legislature. If I
go to Raleigh it will be to represent
all the people to the very best of my
ability. I expect to stand for- the
things that are best for the county
and you will be able always, to put
your finger down and say 'that's
where Marvin stands'. I expect to
make an active campaign for the
nomination." Mr. Marvin Is well
known all over the county and has a
host of friends to whom this an
nouncement will be of interest. Gas
ton county is entitled to two rep
resentatives In the Legislature. So
far Mr. S. S. Mauney is the only can
didate that has announced himself.
He is from Cherryville, in the north
ern part of the county. Mr. Marvin
is, so far, the only candidate from
the southern part of the county.
Dr. Benjamin F. Sledd. of the de
partment of English at Wake Forest
College, says the Raleigh News and
Observer, has just received the an
nouncement of his appointment to
the Kahn fellowship, entitling him
to the sum of $3,000 to be spent in
a year's tour of the world, together
with an additional stipend of $300
to be uBed for the purchase of me
men toes of his trip.

dog's nose and mouth so he cannot
bite. The little strap muzzles used
by many people will not go. The In

tho enactment of this law and the
same interests demand its enforce
ment. If you have a dog, take heed.
What Brains Can Do With Haw Ma
terial. Elbert Hubbard in Philistine.
The country that sells raw mate
rials will always be poor, just as
the farmer who sells corn, and not
hogs, will never lift the mortgage.
If you have a forest, aud can work
it up into tables, chairs, bookcases
and violins you will make a good
deal more money than if you sell
firewood. The United States has
one-sixteenth the population of the
world. But we have one-third the
wealth of the world.
The North American Indians had
the raw stock, but they did not
know how to use it. Our wealth
comes from the ability to combine
coal and iron-ore; lumber and steel
bolts, leather and shoestrings; paint
and glue; rubber and steel.
So we have supplied the world
automobiles, shoes, farm Imple
ments, locomotives, engines, brass
castings, machinery and manuTac
ed commodities in a million forms.
And today there is being brought
into America, in payment for goods
manufactured in the United States,
$5,500 every minute for ten hours,
.300 days in the year.
We take paper, glue, leather, cop
per, steel, and make a "Kodak."
The value of the raw materials that
go to make a kodak is, say, twenty
cents. The consumer in South Afri
ca, England, Japan or Germany pays
$5 for the machine, and counts it a
bargain. It is brain that makes val
ue. Manufacturing Is the useful or
ganization of materials; and in or
der to organize raw stock you have
first to organize men.
The wealth of America did not
turn on either labor or raw mate
rials; it turned on genius for organ
izations, adaptation and invention.
We are sometimes told of the ap
palling amounts of money spent by
Americans in Europe. Much of this
is waste, no doubt, but let us take
heart when we think of how the or
ganizing, inventive and manufactur
ing genius of Americans is siphon
l"" it back, and millions more be

A big real estate deal was con

ing west of South Chester street
within the corperare limits of tne
town, paying tnenlfor $10,000 or

agricultural purposes in the past.
Ven years ago it was regarded as in

to an acre.
contract has already been let
l'orv the construction of concrete
sidewalks around and through this
property which will at once be cut
up into blocks and lots and placed
on the market. Sewer lines will al
so be laid through the streets that
traverse the property in the very
near future. Electric lights will ne
provided as soon as they are needed.
This property is magnificently lo
i ated for residence pr operty and will
no doubt find a ready sale as soon
as it it is placed on the market. It
is generally accepted that the trend
of home-building is in the future to
be more largely down York and
Chester streets as they afford almost
the only good opening to the unde
veloped outside territory. That the
next few months will see numbers
of new homes started in course of
construction in that section of town
is generally expected.

Most Successful Year Commence

The closing of the Alexis graded
school, of which Mr. J. W. Bellinger
is principal, took place on Friday
night, Saturday and Saturday night
of last week, the exercises beir; or
a high order of merit and attended
by large and attentive audiences
On Friday night there was a rec

ted themselves well, the winner of
the medal, which was awarded Sat
urday afternoon, being Miss Pearl

On Saturday morning the com
mencement sermon was" preached by
Rev. J. J. Beach, pastor of the East
Gastonia Baptist church. Mr.
Beach's text was Romans 8:23.
"Waiting for the adoption, to-wlt,

Mr. Dellinger, as principal, has
been ably assisted by Miss Georgia
Cathey, of Belmont, and Miss Elsie
Roberts, of Cherryville, and tn
school year has been a most success

grounds, give Alexis one of the best
giaded school equipments of any
town in the county, and the citizens
are justly proud of it.

Moral Hazard.
Frank Lock, New York Manager of
Atlas Assurance Company.
Because it has seemed possible
for insurance companies to get a
small increase in premium from
overinsurance or careless underwrit
ing, it has been assumed that the
general policy has been shaped by
these sordid considerations. It
might with more reason be charged
against the medical profession that
they deliberately cause the spread
of disease in order to secure income
from Its treatment, as doublless'it
could be shown that sUch a motive
might produce such an elTect: but
the medical profession is rightly ac
;uittd of such a .charge. As re
gards fire insurance, the motive lies
wholly to the contrary of what is
charged. Any company which would
recklessly allow upon its books
nroperty overinsured. or would
knowingly pass as policyholders men
of incendiary tendencies, could not
live. It ia well known to be tTie
rractice of fire insurance companies
to sift the business offered for evi
dence of moral hazard or for previ
ous incendiary record by all the
means which exist for these purpos
es. This is true, notwithstanding
ail the assertions to the contrary.

Great Thing; for Traveling Public.
No longer can it be said that Gas
tonia is a (lag station on the South
ern. Effective Sunday morning all
the fast trains on the Southern stop
regularly at Gastonia except second
No. 38 and second No. 37, which are
fast mail trains from New York to
New Orleans. These will stop as
heretofore, No. 3 7 to take on passen
gers for points beyond Atlanta, who
cannot be accommodated by first
No. 37, and No. 3 8 to discharge pas
sengeis from beyond Atlanta on the
West Point route, who cannot be
accommodated by first No. 38.
'lickets will be sold from Gastonia
on any of these trains to points at
which they stop regularly.
No more welcome piqee of news
than the above has been handed out
to the Gastonia public In many
moons unless perchance it be the
information that the town Is to have
a line new hotel. For the past six
weeks Secretary A. (). Lloyd and
President T. L. Craig, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, have been nego
tiating with the ollicials of the
Southern Railway -on this matter.
They took it up through Mr. G. C.
Andrews, local agent for Uie road,
who manifested great interest in the
pioposltion and rendered valuable
assistance in securing the conces
sions. To him is due no small part
of the credit for the bringing about
of the road's willingness to grant
Gastonia's request for the stopping
of trains. It should not be inferred,
however, that the securing of this
revised schedule from the Southern
was accomplished within the few
short weeks since the Chamber of
Commerce took hold of it.. For
months and years, at times, the mat
ter has been taken up by the Com
mercial Club and individuals but ar
ways without result. That the con
stant hammering' away on the prop
osition had paved the way for suc
cess Is not doubted.
The traveling public will greatly
appreciate the new arrangement.
Yesterday morning first No. 37, dis
charged six passengers here from
the North. There promises to be an
ever increasing business for the fast
trains.
