But at the Pacific tide-water he was not satisfied for be saw in tne Orient still further opportunities. He organized a fleet of Pacific steamships for the commercial inva sion of Japan and China. Japan at the time wanted steel rails, but nrnnnaori rsttlnr thorn f mm F!nrtnnt thA nt. wr i it ia rut I that when John W. Gates, the steel ' magnate, of Chicago, came to Hill with tbe proposition of getting American rails to Japan, the latter replied; "I will make you a rate of $8 a ton from Chicago or Pittsburg to Tokohonia. If that Is too much, I will carry it for the axle grease used on the locomotives and freight cars: and if you can't stand that, I will carry your freight for nothing." At the $8 rate named, the Amer ican manufacturer was enabled to secure the Japanese contract. . The same tactics were adopted in getting American wheat and flour Into Japan and China, where ric waa the staple food. - ma iaun in tne ar East was re warded as liberally as that In tnn Northwest It is estimated that tne ' Pacific fleet now carries nearly IjO,- ! vuu.vuu worm or products to the " Orient every year. - While Mr. Hill built up for him- ielf and his associates an immense fortune, he "also helped to create for the settlers along his lines a - wealth of over five billion dollars in real property, which is represented by the value of the 400, ooo farms and their 65.000.000 acres of im proved land. Upon his retirement at tii, tne "streak of rust" he had bought 30 . years before, had expanded to more than 8,000 miles and it was taming gross profits of more than Jfifi.Ooo, M)tt a year, and carrying 15,000.000 tons flf freight annually. He still retained a hand in the Great North ern's policy as chairman of the board of directors, while his son Louts, who had worked up from the hum ablest position of his father's rail road became president. The secret of the Hill success was no secret at all, according to Mr. , Hill, and be had no new recipes to offer. "The man with the big op portnnity today", he said, "is tne man in the ranks." But the secret of failure he frequently declared to b extravagance. He regarded this as a national tendency, against which be strongly set himself, particularly as concerned the natural resources. .

Adams Drug Store Phone 15 Opposite New Postoffice TO RE-ELECT MR. WILSON MOVEMENT LAUNCHED TO THAT END An Independent Effort Along Tin I Ann is Headed by Twenty-six of XationV Foremost Men, With Mr. tlapgood am ljNaier Campaign Will lie on a Very Large Scale. A special from Washington to yes terday's Greensboro News says: Twenty-six of the nation's fore most men, including capitalists, philanthropists, publicists and lead ers in independent thought, announc ed today that they would launch an independent movement for the re election of President Wilson. The initiative has been taken by a group of men who exercise a great deal of influence in public affairs, who are leaders of independent sen timent rather than thick and thin adherents of any party. Steps to organize state leagues are being tak en, and after the political conven tions the work will be launched throughout the country on a very large scale. The officers of tne league will not be selected until ar ter the Republican convention. The names of the organization committee include some of the biggest and most influential men In the country. Norman Hapgood, who is in Washington, said: "The league will not work among Democrats, but among the large and rapidly growing number of voters who make up their minds on the men and the issues of the particular election. This number of independ ent voters is increasing very rapid ly, especially in the west, as Is shown among other things by the re cent registration. It is estimated that there are probably as many as five million voters- in the country to day who can be classed as independ ent in the sense that their vote will be determined by the record of the administration and by the way the issues are presented. The purpose or the Woodrow Wilson Independent League is to form a center for the work of men who believe the re election of the President to be their patriotic duty regardless of party." Riverside Park to Open June 4th. On Sunday, June 4th. Riverside Park at Mount Holly will be opened for the first time this summer.

No Not For Rheumatics Don't drink whiskey if you have rheumatism, and be sure and keep your feet warm and dry, and drink plenty of lemonade. This advice, says an authority, is helping; but as all know who have suffered, rheumatism is a stubborn disease and yields only to a remedy mighty enough to conquer it. Many doctors have prescribed and hundreds of helpful druggists have advised a half teaspoonful of Rheu ma once a day because they know that powerful Rheuma, harmless as It is, acts with speed and overcomes in a few days tbe most torturing case or rheumatism or sciatica. Co. and all druggists sell lots of It and will return your money if two bottles do not stop all . rheumatic misery. (Adr.) , ' , 1 .1 . .1 PRESENTED WITH GOLD WATCH. Mr. Robert Simpson Recipient of Handsome Gold Watch Members of GaNtonlM Pythian Drum Corps the Donor. The members of the Gastonia Pythian Drum Corps on Friday night presented to Mr. Robert C. Simpson a solid gold watch as a to ken of their appreciation for his un tiring interest in drilling and train ing the men. Mr. Simpson has. within a very short time, trained the men in an excellent manner, ana without his assistance the corps would not have been abla to make such a splendid record in the Char lotte parade on May 20th. Yester day's Charlotte Observer had the following to say of Mr. Simpson and tne drum corps: "Seems like old times," said many a Charlotte man to himself on tne Twentieth of May, as the roll or drums betokened the coming of a drum corps in the parade. In times past Charlotte has boasted a drum corps which won distinction among the best in the South. There were two good ones in the parade, one a part of the Ford contingent, compos ed chiefly of former members of the old corps, and the other was the Gas tonia Drum Corps. The visitors were heartily applauded and made a fine showing. Mr. Robert Simpson train ed the Gastonia boys and in token or their appreciation they have present ed him with a handsome watcn, en graved with his initials. Mr. Simp son is very proud of that watch, and will exhibit it on the slightest, or no, provocation. CHILD DROWXED AT CROl'SK. Correspondence of The Gazette. CROUSE, Route 1. May 27.

SHIPMAN Endorsed for Re-election by Ixcal and IMstrict Organizations. (Xews and Observer, Xov. 14, '13.) The undersigned respectfully pre sent the name of Mr. M. L Shipman as a candidate to succeed himself as Commissioner of Labor and Printing. He is serving bis second term, and we have heard only the highest praiqe of the manner in which he has conducted the affairs Of the Depart ment. Wherever duty called, Mr. Shipman has shown himself equal to the occasion, and his actions have brought honor to the State and cred it to himself. That he has doubly in creased the usefulness of the De partment Is generally admitted There appears little, if any, sentl ment to displace him, and we wish merely to advise his friends that he will appreciate their support for re election. ( Mr. Shipman has not only made a capable official during the six and half years of his incumbency in the position, but he has also long been an effective party worker, both as ed itor and county and district chair man. We appreciate, his fighting qualities up here in the mountains and want to see him more adequate ly rewarded for the splendid service he has rendered the Democratic par ty and for his constant devotion to duty in the office he now so compe tently nils. He needs no introduc tionto the people of Xorth Carolina, and we feel that our knowledge of their sense of justice warrants the sincere belief that Commissioner Shipman will be nominated by an overwhelming majority to succeed himself. We believe it would be a serious mistake, from a business standpoint for the State, to retire Mr. Shipman at a time when he is best fitted to serve the people, and hope his nu merous friends in various sections of the commonwealth will see to It that his interests are thoroughly protect ed, i Very respectfully, (Signed) J.
