the local association owes the banks
$10,500 and its assets consist of the
ball park and fixtures, which cost
less than $10,000. The park Is to be
old to pay the debt but the pro

wise in their decision to "cut out"
the same for a season. In the mean
time, while they are recuperating,
they might profit by investigating
the business methods employed by
the Gaatonla Athletic Association.
The Gazette is informed that the as
sociation; now settling up its affafrs
for the past season, will actually pay
m dividend, in face of the fact that it
had on its team "Chief" Bender and
m few other high-priced big league
men.
One disappointing thing about .thf
recent county fair was the absence
', from the big crowds in attendance
dally of the Charlotte delegation,
' Colonel Wade Harris' ten thousand
Charlotteans who were coming along
with The Observer's accommodating
editor evidently got lost en route, or
some where else. True 'tis, they
didn't shdw up. Col. Harris himself
came and has coming to him a vote
of thanks from Gaston for his pres
' ence here and for the many nice
things he said editorially about Gas
ton county's show. He probably
did the best he could to bring a
crowd but his Charlotte friends fell
down on him. There Were a dozen
or two from the Mecklenburg capi
tal that was all. The roll of 10,
900 admission tickets sent by the
fair management to Charlotte and
pat on sale at Jordan's for the ac
commodation of the people of that
city was returned unbroken not a
ticket sold from it. Wonder if
, Charlotte really expects Gaston
take In the Mecklenburg Fair?

KEEPING YOUNG.
to
la Municipal Court.
In Municipal Court this morning
Judge Jones imposed a four-months
road sentence on Roscoe Gullick,
colored, for the larceny of a
"wild-cat" whistle from Mr. R. D.
Lewis, the bicycle man. Gullick was
given an additional month for forci
ble trespass, and his partner, Claude
Wood, got 30 days for the same of-
xense. Albert Champion, white, who
. has been on the cbaingang on two or
three previous occasions, was given
days for beating trains. Tom
Hill, colored, was assessed $10 and
the costs for being drunk and disor
derly, while Labe Hoffman, colored,
mm old offender, was taxed $5 and
the costs for a similar offense.
His many friends will regret to
learn that Mr. L. E. Kincaid has been
quite ill at his home on Fifth ave
nue for several days.
The latest news from Mr. Mar
Tin L. Cornwell, whose serious ill
ness at Lenoir was noted in Tues
days uazette, is more encouraging.
The first of the week bis physicians
had almost despaired of his life but
now they have considerable hope of
his recovery. His father. Mr c c
Cornwell, and Miss Emma Cornwell
are still at his bedside. In their ab-
ence miss ueorgia Connelly has
been In charge of the office of the
er oi me court.
Short Cuts to Fame.
v Monroe Journal.
John Paul Jones and Patrick Hen-
, Tj have been voted as unworthy of a
place in the Hall of Fame in New
j. York. We fancy that the long rest
of neither John Paul nor Patrick
will be disturbed by this fact, nor
mai ine scnooi Doys win read of I
their deeds with less interest. Fame
hat become to be rather a two-bit,
product anyhow. We noticed the dis
play of lady's picture on the front
- page of an Important newspaper, and !

to bring her to public notice. It
turns out that her grandmother's

Old Age Is Not Fixed By Any Num
ber of Years.
State Board of Health Bulletin.
There is no scientific evidence to
show that late youth and middle age
are the periods of commencing de
crepitude and "old age". Man grows
old because he is injured; because
his body cells are poisoned and not
because he has lived just bo many
years. There is no relentless law de
termining when a man shall grow
old. The traditional "three score
years and ten" are conditioned
mainly on the manner of living and
not by any natural law. But man
has it In his power to modify these
conditions either for better or worse.
Probably a greater luxury of liv
ing which is not balanced by proper
physical exercise is a primary con
dition to be reckoned with. But
temperance all along the line in
eating, drinking, working, playing
and even in resting has been suggest
ed as a wiser principle to hold to
This avoids the possibility of rusting
out on the one band or of wearing
out on the other.
Yet there is another way and a
more worthy reason for retaining
youth and deferring old age culti
vate health for the love and pleasure
of it. The monthly letter of the
Life Extension Institute says of this
suggestion: "It is not a fear of ill
ness or of death that we should en
courage, but a love of health, a
sense of responsibility for the care
of our bodies, a desire for bodily en
durance and efficiency and full a
chievement. If the mind is fixed on
these ideals and the already known
means of approaching them are util
ized, heart disease, kidney trouble,
and the needless miseries that em
bitter the lives of so many may be
left to take care of themselves. It
is not so much necessary to fight dis
ease as to cultivate health for the
happiness, contentment and moral
gain that It brings."
FOR HEALTH SCHOOLS
State Board of Health Bulletin.
Health work in schools will be
taken up this fall in a much more
thorough and extensive manner in
North Carolina than ever before.
Physicians specially trained for such
work will soon begin medical In
spection In Alamance, Northampton
and Edgecombe counties. These
physicians will spend one day with
each school. They will do mucn
more than merely make a careful
examination of the physical welfare
of each child. They will give health
talks and conduct a health day pro
gram to be concluded in the evening
with an illustrated lecture on aen-
eral health and sanitation to which
the school and entire community will
ue invitea.
