Owing to , the threatened in clement weather, several huudred were doubtless kept away. The meet ing was held under the direction of the Gastonla Chamber of Comiuerce and was planned by its secretary. Mr. C. W. Roberts, for the purpose ' of making known ' to the public the work the chamber expected to accom plish for the welfare of Gastonla and Gaston county. Master of Ceremonies J.' H. Se park stated the purpose of the meet ing and showed that nothing great had ever been accomplished by any organization without some form or boosting from within. Following his speech short talks were" made by President Thomas-L. Craig, of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor C. B. Armstrong. 'Their' talks were along the line of community progress and civic betterment, and. rang true with the idea of co-operation. Mrs. J. Y. Miller, president of tne Gastonia Woman's Betterment Asso ciation, made an interesting five minute talk on the work the local as sociation was doing. . "Never before in the history of the Woman's Bet terment Association," declared ; Mrs. Miller, "have we been invited to at tend a meeting held by the business men of Gastonia, although our asso ciation ha been in existence for the past eight years." She thought it a capital and fitting idea to let the wo men participate in the meetings or this kind which were held for the general uplift and betterment of tbt city of Gastonia. Figures presented by Mrs. Miller showed that, during eight years the betterment associa tion has been organized, more than $6,000 has been raised by its mem bers and used in carrying on the bet terment work. As its president. Mrs. Miller assured the officers of tne Chamber of Commerce that the Wo man's Betterment Association was willing and ready to co-operate at any time with them in making Gas tonia a better city. Secretary Roberts, the next speaker, outlined in detail the pro gram of work that had been mapped out by the chamber. A well-arranged advertising campaign which is destined to bring more industries to Gaston county wsb one of the first things suggested by Mr. Roberts, and to aid in this work the chamber will begin at once the publication of tne Gaston Magazine. This magazine is to be published under the direction of the Greater Gaston Association, which is to be organized at an early date. Among other things suggested by Mr. Roberts was , a rest room where farthers' wives, their children and others may have a place to rest when shopping in Gastonla. The Woman's Betterment Association will co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce in establishing thirroom. A system of playgrounds will be de veloped by the chamber at an early date. : , ; , . ,. ' Mr. Roberts outlined plans for a campaign to have all store fronts re modeled, repainted and Improved tn a modern way which would make the city more Attractive. Following are some of the plans which were in cluded in Secretary Roberts' report? A permanent exhibit of manufactures and farm products, a daily newspa per, a' rebate fare plan for out-of-town purchasers, campaign for mors Industries, etc, Mr, Roberts made a plea for the support and co-operation of the people of the city In his work. Following Mr. Roberts' speech Mr. S. J. purham spoke at length on the human side of a city's progress. - A city is not great' because of its big buildings - and fine streets, asserted Mr. Durham. New York City is not great because of its fine port and im mense capital, but because of the great' heart that the city possesses. The speaker made a'plea for-the bet terment of conditions around , the homes of the working classes ' wno have made'Gastonla what it is today. He also suggested the establishment of a hospital in Gastonia where the rich as well as the poor could be cared tor. - This idea was advocated by the speaker not because the weal thy, needed the help but because of the righteousness of the plan. - At the close of Mr. Durham's ad dress, light refreshments of puncn anduiandwlches were served. v FARMERS' INSTITUTES. - Farmers Institutes will be held In Gaston rounty on the follow ing dates: , .Today at Stanley.

W. Lite, whose death occurred in this city on July 20th as the result of injuries receiv ed in a motor accident, taken from a recent issue of The Bluefleld Dally Telegraph will be of interest to Gas tonians: t.- .","' ;...: By far the largest assemblage of people ever to attend a funeral in Tazewell county, or perhaps in this entire section, was at Tazewell Sun day afternoon to pay their last trib ute .of respect and show their love and esteem for their departed friend, George W. Litz. The crowd was es timated at at least two thousand people. There were one hundred au tomobiles in the funeral procession, besides many carriages and hundreds on foot. ' " - No greater tribute could have been paid to the'memory of any man than that of Sunday at Tazewell. Men In every walk of life were there, from congressman, millionaire and railroad official to saw mill hand and colored laborer. Every business and every profession was represented at Mr. Litz' funeral. The porches and large lawn of Al Litz, brother of tne deceased, were packed with a solid mass of humanity; and all stood for an hour with bared heads and heard the tributes paid by the ministers to the life of George W. Litz. The serv ices were in charge of Rev. W. W. Arrowood,' Rev. R .B. Piatt and .Rev. Mr. Clark.;, The: latter . pC Gr.unay, Buchanan7 county, and a personal friend of the deceased. Rev. Mr. Clark paid a most beautiful tribute to his dead friend. After the services at the home were concluded the long funeral pro cession moved slowly toward the new cemetery between tne court house and North Tazewell, where a vault had been prepared for Mr. Lite's body.' The services at tne grave were conducted by the Taze well Masonic lodge, with the Knights Templars as escort. ' No such display of flowers has ever, been seen at a funeral in this section as the floral tributes in evi dence at Mr. Lite's funeral. One large room was set apart for the flo ral designs and it was full. Among the handsome designs' was one from Congressman C. B. Slemp, and many from the officials and other employ es of the W, M. Ritter Lumber Co. A feature of the occasion was tne presence of so many employes of tne Ritter Lumber Co., from president to the mountaineer who fells witn his axe the trees of the forest. All knew George Litz. or "Uncle" George, as he was affectionately known in Buchanan county among the saw mill hands, and all were anxious to show their last mark of respect. -v .' 'Mr. Litz was a remarkably popu lar man. His kindly disposition was such as to win friends readily and hold them firmly. He possessed the human touch. There was nothing cold-blooded about George Litz. The humble saw mill hand received the same courteous consideration from George W. Lite as though he were a prince. , Geo. W. Lite was one of the fami ly of ten . sons and four daughters of the late John Lite, and was born in Burkes Garden, Tazewell county, 43 years ago. He is survived by sev en brothers and three sister, tne brothers being John L. and P. O., of Coeburn; A. Z. and J. F., of Taze well; J. G., of Bluefleld: M. O., of Welch, and D.' H. Lite, of Tennessee. The sisters are Mrs. Harvey Mc Guire, Mrs. Rages SIuss and Mcs. T. R. Smoot all of Tazewell county. - Mr. Lite married Miss Ethel Wake field, of Ashland. Ky., and is survlv- ed by his wife and little daughter, Helen Elizabeth, both of whom were summoned when the accident occur red and were with him when he died. Mr. Lite was a member of - the Methodist Church, the Bluefleld lodge of Elks, and of the Masonic lodge of Tazewell, and had attained the Knight Templar degree. Mr. Lite had been for years witn the W. M. Ritter lumber enterprises, and was assistant to the president, being in active charge of all of the extensive operations of that concern. He ' was widely known .in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, i Ohio, West Virginia, and North Carolina, espec ially in the sections where the Rit ter interests operated.' He took an active interest In poli tics and was a Republican leader in the ninth Virginia congressional dis trict, where he was several times mentioned as a candidate for con gress. He was a clean leader, but an effective one, and was one of the most influential men in that district. He held his citizenship in Buchanan county, Va where he had consdera ble interests. ' Before the lines were broken by death it was an event at the Taze well annual fair to see the teffLltz brothers, all robust handsome men. riding abreast. The family is noted for the affection the members enter tain for each other, and while some of them have grown rich, they regard their wealth as at the command of (Continued on page 5.)
