M. at Lorayl'ark This Afternoon Both Won VirtwrieH Yesterday. Gastonia baseball ' fans have a treat In store for them this after noon in the game at Lor ay Park be tween Davidson and A. & M. Both teams come direct from the field of victory. At Davidson yesterday the Presbyterians defeated Wofford Col lege by a score of 1 1 to 3 while the Techs put it over Guilford College at Greensboro to the tune of 3 to 2. Both teams arrived on No. 1 1 and both are in good trim for this after noon's contest. In view of the fact that there are a large number of old Davidson and A. & M. men in the county there is every reason to believe that interest will be keen in the game ajid that the attendance wil be large. Char lotte will send a Rood delegation of fans, the P. & N. having made a spe cial rate for the occasion. Added interest will be given the game because of the fact that several of the players are well known here. Winston, Evans and Correll, with A. 4 M.,are not strangers to Gastonia fandom by any means. Catchers Winston and Alford have the repu tation of being two of the best col lege plpayers in the South. This is the first college game to be played here in quite a while and. unless Gastonia has lost all of her 1915 enthusiasm, Loray Park will have a crowd this afternoon ASHEVILLE VS. COLUMBIA. Final arrangements were made this morning for two games at Loray Park Thursday and Friday after noons of this week between Ashe ville of the North Carolina League, and Columbia, of the South Atlantic Ijeague. The fact that Mr. L. L. Jenkins, a Gastonia man, is at the head of the Asheville club and is its moving spirit, is sufficient guarantee that these games will be well uatronlzed. Mr. Jenkins has only recently taken to baseball and, as he puts all his en ergy into whatever he undertakes, Gastonians Know that his team will do its part toward furnishing some high-class ball. Asheville and Co lumbia both have strong teams. l is understood that the Asheville team will make Gastonia headquar ters for the next two weeks at least. From here they will go to play a se- ries of games at Columbia and an other at Rocky Mount, in the Virginia-Carolina League. The A. & M. line-up for today's game is as follows: Hodgens, 2b.

That Gastonia is rapidly becoming known the world over as a great textile manufacturing tenter is well known and fully realized by the city's progressive business men, but such evidence of the fact as the fol lowing more firmly establishes its truth.

Newspapers received aboard the Empress of Russia give details of a plot recently discovered in Shanghai involving destruction of the bridges on the Manchurian Railroad con necting with Russian territory and the placing of bombs aboard the steamship Empress of Russia before sh left on the trip Just ended. Details of the original plot for the supply of several thousand rifles, n.runiunitior and automatic pistols to a raiding vessel in the service of the Germans came out when two Shanghai merchants named Abbas, father and son, were arrested. The rifles were seized, the elder Abbas sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment and his son to two years.

A. last night in the interest of the Orthopedic Hospital, that is to be erected in Gastonia. .Mr. C. O. Kuester was chairman of the meeting. Rev. .1. ('. Galloway made the invocation. Mr. Kuester in outlining the purpose of the meet ing bespoke the Indulgence of the visitors in that there were not as many local people present as would otherwise have been had the meet ing bee'n held on any other night. He assured Mr. R. B. Babington that the fraternal orders were not only behind the movement hat that they were actually pledged to it as were also the traveling men. Judge Frank Carter commended the cause, declaring that he knew of no finer sentiment or more humane endeavor than that under way. Oth ers who spoke were Messrs. W. F. Dowd. E. L. Keesler, Rev. Dr. W.

Durham also made a fine talk. He declared that such a hospital was not only a charitable undertaking but an absolute necessi ty from the economic standpoint in view of the fact that a dependent is made into a self-supporting citizen. Mr. Babington stated that $50,000 was needed to establish the hospital and that he was confident of the gen erosity of North Carolina citizenship as he was confident of the cause in which he was engaged.

The voice of "Old Betsy," historic steamboat bell, soon will be stilled forever. "For half a century the old bell from her perch upon various steamers warned travelers on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers that they had better hurry or they would miss the boat, but now she has been cast into the junk heap. Standing amid old paper and scrap iron in a shop on Baymiller street, "Old Betsy" utters not a word of protest exceBt to moan dismally when a workman accidentally throws a piece of iron against her side. The old bell, which formerly gloried in pealing forth signals to steamboat crews,- now seems to be resigned to her fate, that of being broken into pieces and remelted. "Old Betsy" was cast by Vanduz en & Tift, now the E. W Vanduzen Company, in 1865. She weighs 560 pounds. For a number of years she saw service on various steamers, fi nally being placed on theold Bonan za. Rivermen failed to recall the names of the steamers whose crews she signaled before she became the voice of the Bonanza. When the Bonanza was disman tled, in 1905, the old bell drifted in to the hands of Robert Taylor, Hig ginsport. O. He Dlaced her upon the. gasoline boat Helen. There she reigned supreme until the Helen was destroyed by fire several months ago near Moscow. O. The heat caus ed the old bell to crack. Recently Taylor sold the bell to .M'atelsky & Co. for old metal. She arrived here Thursday on the Green Line steamer Tacoma anc yesterday her new owner took possession of her. At, one time Taylor, it is said, refused an offer of $500 for the bell. Before she cracked he said he would not part with her for $1,000. Fight Vessels Sunk in 24 Hours. Says an Associated Press report this morning: The past 24 hours marks the high est toll of the German submarine? against the common enemy since the beginning of the war on land or sea in so short a space. A total of eight vessels, six British, one Spanish, one Norwegian, have fallen victims to the U-boats. Five of these British steam ers have been in the American trade. At least four of the British boats are said to have been unarmed, but of these only one is reported to have been sunk by Germans without warning. The Spanish steamer, San tan derino, Lloyds announces, was sunk by a torpedo. Brief Items About the Movements of Gaston People. n- Baseball. - Barefeet. Dogwood is in bloom.

(State Board of Health Bulletin.) That North Carolina has been ad mitted into the registration area of the I'nited States, which gives her not only national but international recognition as to her vital statistic, is the official statement made today by Mr. Sam L. Rogers, director of the Bureau of the Census. Washing ton, D. C. to Dr. W. 8. Rankin, sec retary of the State Board of Health. This recognition comes to North Car olina, tbe third Southern State to bo admitted, as a result of a recent In vestigation by the Federal Censn Bureau of the completeness of the registration of deaths for that part of North Carolina that is not al ready in the registration area, namely, the rural section and the towns that had less than 1.000 pop ulation in 1910. The result of the investigation shows that 94.26- per cent, of all deaths occurring in the State are registered, the standard required of all States in order to be admitted into tbe registration area being 90 per cent. It is an interesting fact to North Carolinians, especially to the sup- , porters of health, that the Federal Census figures which give North . Carolina a place in, the registration area of the I'nited States give her al so the low death rate of 13.6 per thousand population, which is the av erage death rate in the registration area of the United States. While Vir ginia and Kentucky preceded her in to the ranks as registration States, only Kentucky of the Southern States can boast of a lower death rate, hers being 13.4, Virginia' 13. 9. The fact that these three Southern -States, the only Southern State In cluded in the registration area; show a death rate as low as the aver- ". age in the United States, discredits" the reputation, mainly on account of her negro population, that the South is unhealthful. The story told by the figures of these States Is that -Southern States can he made healthy - and kept healthy. Francla X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne at the Cozy today. W. A.
