WEIiCOME, PRESBYTERIANS. .
Gastonla today extends the glad
hand to the Presbyterians of North
Carolina who are here to hold the
one hundred and second annual ses-
' ( tf ii a evnml nt Vnrth Pnrnlina
It Is a great pleasure to Gastonlans
to hare in their midst this fine body
of men and the community will be
' greatly benefitted and edified by their
presence and Influence. The city Is
-In their hands this week and what
aver they want that is here is theirs.
We trust that the visiting ministers
and laymen will enjoy their brier
stay with us and that they will carry
away only the most pleasant memo
ries of the Synod's meeting here.
.. Many of The Gazette's lady readers
will doubtless be interested in the
story, copied elsewhere in today's
Issue from The New York World,
about an lnfmense chrysanthemum.
If the story Is true, this is "some"
chrysanthemum. If it's not true it's
"some" story.
It Is gratifying to note the interest
shown by the local council of the
Junior Order in the Moonlight School
movement This organization has
done a great deal not only here but
wherever it has a council in promot
lng the welfare and progress of the
public school system and education
la general. There is a great work to
be done in Gaston in the elmina
tion of adult illiteracy and we ex
sect the Juniors to do their part and
more. They have established
reputation for doing this kind of
work and they are keeping it up
here and elsewhere.
The Kings Mountain floral fair
will be held on Thursday and Friday
of this week, October 28 and 29.
Coart In Session.
Gaston County Superior Court for
the trial of criminal cases began a
one-week term yesterday morning
with Judge James L. Webb, of Shel
by presiding. So far only a few cas
es Of minor Importance have been
disposed of. Interest centers today
la the trial of a number of cases of
the State vs. T. E. Leroy on the
charge of practicing medicine with
out license. The first case against
Leroy was scheduled to be called for
trial at the reconvening of court at
3:30 o'clock this afternoon. A com
plete list of the cases tried and dis
posed of will appear in Friday's Gazette.
Women Knocking Wilson.
Statesvllle Landmark.
The women are knocking the Pres
ident because he is going to take
second wife and so soon after the
death of the first. Generally speak
ingthere are exceptions of course
the ladies don't take kindly to
second marriages for the man. It
la all right if the woman wants to
starry a second time, but to the av
erage wife the thought of another
woman taking her place in the home
Is anything but pleasant. And so the
ladies lambast Mr. Wilson. But we
wonder now if any. lady critic of the
President eligible to matrimony
would have declined an offer to be
come mistress of the White House.
AU who would have refused Wood
row ; Wilson out of respect to his
former wife's memory, please hold
op your hands.

Catholic Paper Violent.
A dispatch from New Orleans says
The Morning Star, "the official Cath
olic journal of the archdiocese of
New Orleans and the diocese of Sa
vannah." and regarded as the mouth
piece of the Catholic clergy 'of tne
entire South, publishes this week an
editorial which reads, in part as follows:
"Venustiano Carranza, the bandit.
the cut-throat, the outlaw, the avow
ed persecutor of the Catholic Church,
the robber and despoiler of her sanc
tuaries, schools, convents and hos
pitals, the murderer of priests, the
leader of vandal hordes, whose
nameless outrages and Indignities to
pure, consecrated nuns and defense
less women and children show the vi
cious darkness of his soul; Venusti
ano Carranza, whose name must ev
er stand for all that is blackest and
vilest and most degrading in the pa
ges of Mexican history, has been rec
ognized by the President of the Uni
ted States as ruler of the distracted
Mexican republic."
More of the same kind follows In
denunciation of Carranza and Presi
dent Wilson and the latter is threat
ened with the loss of the Catholic
vote. A number of Catholics,
priest in Charlotte, for one, have re
pudiated The Star's utterance. The
Concord Tribune sizes up the situs
tion as follows:
ine intemperate and ni-consia-
ered language of this article gives Its
own answer, and will fall harmless
on the President's head. Articles
breathing such an un-Christlan sptr
It and written with evident venom.
whether appearing in the Catholic
Morning Star or the Anti-Catholic
Menace, can have little effect except
to diBgust and repel."

I lived In Gaston county from 1881
to 1890 so I met many old friends
and acquaintances. Gastonla is a
hustling cotton mill town of 13,000
working people. They say every
body works in Gastonla. The new
$60,000 postofflce building is about
completed and there is not an empty
dwelling in the town.
Gastonla has one $60,000 public
school house and has arranged for
two more school houses at $30,000
each.
As evidence of a Christian, pass
ing from the fair grounds to town, a
crippled bird fluttered on the side
walk before me and I was trying to
catch it and put.it upon the lawn,
when I noticed approaching me a
nice young man about 20 years of
age dressed in dark blue and wear
ing a cap with gold letters on its
front. As he stooped to -catch the
bird I turned his - cap, -saying, "I
wanted to see your title'," and when
I read, "Salvation Army," I safd, O,
yes, I see now, I thought you were a
tender-hearted young man." He
said, "I will take it home and care
for it." After a few minutes meet
ing, we passed on feeling assured
that I had met a civilized Christian
young man, thinking of the verses,
"He prayeth best who loveth best, all
things both great and small, for the
dear Ood who maketh us, he mak
eth and loveth all." The Salvation
Army is to the Protestant churches
what the Sisters of Mercy are to tne
Catholic church, looking after the
poor and needy.
