Petitions were submitted by prop erty owners on the following streets .... asking that asphalt be laid in front : of their property: East Airline av enue, from . the Gastonia Garage to North Broad street at the Carolina & 'North-Western Railway crossing; long avenue from North Broad to n.ll.. fQinfrti at rant tmm ..... H.H.IMM- 1 t7 IB. . m U L U B k 1 L L t . w Franklin avenue to Fifth street; ' Marietta street from Third avenue to Fifth street. This is a total of about thirteen blocks petitioned for at Tuesday 1 night's meeting, and all the petl " tlons were favorably passed on and the paving will be done if the city can secure the necessary funds to 9 ' nance the work. It was the opinion - of the council that the work should be done, they being heartily In sym- pathy with the petitioners, the only question raised was whether or not bonds could be sold by the city to . finance the work. ; Besides the thirteen blocks asked for by the property owners the act- ,r.. A(B W 2 a f nanlnff HVanlrlln AVAna ; ;ln both the eastern and the western ' part of the city was discussed, in the event that this paving is done the work will be from Avon street to South Church street, and from " Trenjon street " to Vance street . at the Loray drug store. When this work is completed the principal . streets will be connected from one . part of the city to the other. All of w . r -. the additional work on Franklin av enue that is under consideration, makes a total of about 24 blocks. At this time there are 18 blocks which have been completed, practi cally all of which is now being used. . The original contract with the Noli Construction Co. called for only 24 .blocks, but since that contract was made an additional contract has been executed- calling for about the same , number of blocks, which makes a total of practically- 50 blocks that have already been contracted for. Should the work be done as petition ed for on Tuesday night, Gastonia will have in round numbers about 75 full blocks of asphalt paving, a rec ord .that no other town its size can boast of In the South. Four new ordinances were also enacted at Tuesday night's meeting the first being in regard to locomo tives being flred-up or narked while In the -business section of the city or near the depot.

Duke to Thftt Sec tion Renews Speculation as to Earlv CVmstrnrtlon of Link Be tween Gastonia and Spartanburg Indenrtood That Increase In NItoad's Earnings U Satisfactory. The following from The Charlotte Observer- of yesterday morning will be of interest to Gazette readers James B. Duke is to arrive In tbe city this morning to spend a fort night in this territory. H ewas due to arrive the latter part of last month, but was detained on account of business matters in tha North, in eluding a trip that he had to make up into Canada. He has sent a ca for his private use while in the Car olinas. The coming of Mr. Duke at this time is significant, coupled with the winniDg by Charlotte for June ' of the percentage increase flag offered monthly by the Piedmont & North ern Railway for the greatest rela tive increase in business at any point on the system, following the rather spirited contest that has ex tended over the period of the past five mouths participated in by Char lotte and Gastonia, wherein Gasto nia won tho flag four consecutive times with Charlotte a close second each time. This time Charlotte I the winneV. with Gastonia in turn a close second. His coming recalls a conversation that took place In this city in February between Mr. Duke the multi-millionaire head of the corporation, and local Charlotte, Gastonia and South Carolina offi cials. Said Mr. Duke, in substance: "You men on the Job get me the business and I will make the necessary ar rangements for the construction of the extension to connect the North and the South Carolina branches of the system. There had been comment of the mutual advantages that would ac crue from the bridging of the gap between the two termini, Gastonia and Spartanburg, and of' the facill ties that the through business would enjoy. This of course had precipitated discussion as to how sucn a con summation devoutly to be wished' could be achieved. The matter of course was carried to the attention of Mr. Duke and he quickly analy zed, with characteristic acumen and sounded the keynote of the proposition as given in the fore going sentence. It was in tne nature of a challenge to the men to whom the remark was addressed, and this was the real reason for the good-natured and altogether - com mendable rivalry existing between Gastonia and Charlotte during the past several months. ,, It was manifest to the men at once that Mr. Duke could not for ward bonds in the money market and solicit subscriptions to securl ties until the percentage of earnings of the lines already in operation reached a certain healthy minimum This healthy minimum was what Mr. Duke was after, and hence his statement. While he didJiot say so, he gave the local authorities to un derstand that if they Increased the net aggregate in tne neignDornooa of 20 per cent, then this gap would be built and that right speedily. This 20 per cent increase has been reached, according to those who are supposed to know, and furthermore it has been maintained through quite a little period. This being true. It goes without the saying that It is Mr. DnWs next move, and those who know hint de clare that he has never yet failed when the call came and that his movements are as the rushing of many mighty waters. The winning of the percentage In crease flag, which carries with it tne privilege of flying the emblem over the station house, and then a magni ficent gold watch, if won three times successively, Is regarded as quite an achievement-. Gaston Ja won It, as stated, four times consecutively and thereby established a nark that will be hard for anybody else to at tain. Charlotte, which has' been giving Gastonia a neck' aid neck race, hopes now to.be able to equal the .splendid record alredy, set up." Thegap between Gastonia and Spartanburg is 62 miles. When finished It would connect the two systems, of which there is four times as much trackage In- South Carolina. This would give the In terurban an aggregate of 175 miles. No statement has ever been vouch safed as Ho the route which the Una IS JOHX POX'S COUXXRY. rhe on Gaitton Boy, Doing Missionary Work In the Kentucky Mountains, rites iBterentingly of L4fe ana Conditions in the Cumber lands. Correspondence of The Gazette. B LAC KEY, KY., July 10. Th above named place Is situated the Kentucky river, 32 miles from its source and right in the heart of the Cumberland mountains which divide Virginia and Kentucky. With headquarters at the Stuart Robin son school which is located at uiacKey mere are nv workers eu gaged in mission and Sunday school extension work within a radius of 20 miles of Blackey four young men and one young lady, collegiateiy speaking the men are students at Da vidson College and religiously speaking three are Presbyterians and one a Baptist, lip here tire last named would have to term him self a missionary Baptist else tie could not be distinguished from tbo Ave other sects of Baptists that u s found here. The lady worker is Miss Charlotte Pensinger, formerly a stu dent at Randolph-Macon College in Virginia and last year head of the Latin department in the Pocahontas, va high school. it is of interest to know that sue has founded a Sunday school or "Kingdom Come," a small tribuUu creek of the Kentucky river and the scene or John Fox s popular novel, "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come." The names of many or Lis characters are persons dwelling on this creek. The names and the pe culiar mountain dialect is about all, as well as I remember the story, that would Identify the novel wlu the place. It is one of the roughest places in the mountains, Miss Per- singer reporting that a majority of the older boys and of-the men at her first school were, under the in fluence of drink. The lack of tne true Christian religion amongfhese people is appalling. According to the last census over 97 per cent of the population of Letcher county, where this work is located, are not even professing Christians. "Moon shine" liquor is made on practically every creek and the marriage Vows, in a great majority of instances, are a farce. The stealing of another man's wife and the desertion of wire and children by the husbands are common, every-day occurrences. The homes of the natives, located on the banks or the rivers, creeks and branches, are small and unsani tary. The automobile has only been heard of and the buggy never seen at least I have not seen one since 1 left North Carolina. The' sport in tne mountains is tne one wno has a mule that will carry double tne boy and girl. On (Saturday, which is grinding day, mules, on which are boys and sacks of corn, are much in evidence up and down the creeks. i Traveling men have described the natives hers as being a half-century behind In civilization's onward pro gress, Within: the past tew years railroads have" brought some of them - appreciably nearer the out side world. ' Yet the forefathers of. almost all of these people, whose fa ces show plainly the lamentable ef fects of moral and social sins, mi grated to Eastern Kentucky, from nonnu;srouna oniy a lime over a century ago. Pure blood flows In their reins, no negroes or foreigners are to be found among them. . The Stuart Robinson school .and others like it and the establishment of . many mission points are due to tne enorts orur. m. u. Guerrant. who resigned the pastorate of the aristo cratic First Presbyterian , church of Louisville to come and labor, and spend his life among the "American Highlanders" than whom, . when once won for Christ, there are none truer or more loyal and consecrated Christians.

In view of the act that Shelby is the center of uch industrial activity and further- lore is situated contiguous to a lagniflcent resort, Cleveland prings, it is not unlikely that tne interurban will go that way. ine anticipated early omcial an nouncement as to plans for the con struction of this 52-mile gap from Gastonia to Spartanburg will be one of the real news events of the year I in this section.
