FOB tow PEACE ; And ' , KOSPEOTi ' r PULLING BACK. , Here is a paragraph from a story in this moraine's Charlotte Observer on the bridge question which is r- : produced elsewhere in today's Ga , xette: V "Don't say too much about them.' be ' (Chairman McDonald of the Mecklenburg county board of com missioners) stated to the reporter, "We are not going to build them to morrow or the next day but they are going to be built AS OON AS WE CAN GOT TO THEM." (The cap- . tals are ours). ' We cdnfess that we do not like v the sound of that It is vague and Indefinite.' Chairman McDonald, it appears, is opposed to doing any thing In the line of rebuilding these bridges if it can be helped. Meck lenburg business men. however, seem to be waking up. Gaston coun ty has been alive to the necessity of : rebuilding the bridges since the day they went down. Not only so, we have been ready to take up our epd of the single tree for many weeks past. We have a "sneakin Idea" that, our friends, he Mecklenburg commissioners, are playing local pol itics. If so. It's small business. To force two big counties and thoue- ands of would-be travelers over tbe National 'Highway to suffer continu ed InconTenience because of peanut politics, is little short of disgraceful. '. Another thing that looks a little strange to us is that so much time . should be wasted dilly-dallying witn a State highway engineer. This is no reflection whatever on the State engineer. . His advice and counsel Is no doubt worth a great deal. How ever, that it should require more than a very few days for the State engineer to look over the ground and recommend thm type of bridges to be built, is, it seems to us, an absurdity. As far as the sites are concerned that Is a matter between the two counties themselves and not for the consideration of the State engineer. He had nothing to say or suggest as to their location when they were first built, we believe, and there's no rea son why he should now. The two counties picked out tbe places where they wanted bridges and went ahead and built them. The time for mincing matters has passed. Gaston's commissioners are fairly "Itching" to get to work on the bridges. They have the money to do the work with. It's up to Mecklenburg and it does look as If the county across the river Is pulling back. . . are preparing to observe it.., Gaato nia might do so with good results-to the town as a whole. ENGINEER OX GROUND. Mr. V. .. Fallls Looking Over Bridge Sites on the Catawba. This morning's Charlotte Observ er says: fctate Highway Engineer W. S. Fallis has arrived in Charlotte and at the present time is busily engaged with members of the Mecklenburg and Gaston county boards of com missioners in drawing plans and specification for one or more bridges which are to be built over the Catawba river. Mr., Fallls as soon as be arrived in Charlotte took command of the situation and is at the present time going over the actual ground where the former bridges stood with the end in view of ascertaining the best type and value of bridge needed. When asked about the matter Thursday night Morris McDonald, chairman of the board stated that be had nothing to say other than that the bridges would be built as soon as possible. J "Don't say too much about them," he stated to the reporter. "We are not going to build them tomorrow or the next day but they are going to be built as soon as we can get to them.' Mr. Fallis has not thoroughly in vestigated the situation as yet, but It is stated that following tbe comple tion of his preliminary survey, he will be able to give an idea of what the actual situation is and further information which will throw light on the bridge question. GOLlPBOul V AS MADE IH COBE SUIT AGAINST THE CUT LIONEL BARRYMORE IX METRO WOXDERPLAY "The Quitter." a Stirring Story With a Big Star and a Strong Cast. Lionel Barrymore, one of the most popular and versatile artists of tne screen, will be seen here at Cozy Theater on next Thursday in tne starring role of "The Quitter." a five part Metro wonderply produced by Rolfe Photoplays Inc. Marguerite Skirvin, a charming and talented young woman, new to the Metro pro gram, will be seen in support of Mr. Barrymore. There is a strong sup porting cast which includes Paul Everton, Edward Brennon, Charles Prince, Julius D. Cowles and pther well known stage and screen artists. The story of "The Quitter" is laid In a southwestern mining town, where scores of thrilling scenes are planned to photoplay the scenes on the American-Mexican bqrder, but when tbe company of players went there they were advised to leave on account of tbe disturbance in that quarter. Director Charles Horan was obliged to bring his company back up north and seek a suitable location. He found exactly what be wanted near Delaware Water Gap, Pa., and there he constructed an en tire mining town. Among some of the interesting and picturesque scenes in "The Quitter" are the "Three Cheers" sa loon and a typical western court room, with a big trial In progress. Mr. Horan used many real western types, including Indians, cowboys, balf-breeds and Chinese. These gen ulne types were brought out of the southwest by the director. Mr. Bar rymore has one of the best parts of his career in "The Quitter." XOTEB POULTRYMAX COMING. f - It has been thoroughly demon strated that Gaston county soil Is spleadily adapted to the raising of sweet potatoes. This is a feature of farming that The Gazette would lke to see claiming more attention In this section.'. Of especial Interest to those who are now raising sweeCpo tatoes or who are planning to do so is an article on page J in this Is sue on "Storing the Sweet Potato." . October 2nd to 7th Inclusive has teen designated as National Pay-Up "V.'eek, . Many towns In this section Mr. F. J. Mara hall Will Act as Jndire of Exhibits of Poultry at Gaston County lr. Announcement has just been made by the poultry department of the Gaston County Fair Association that the services of Mr. F. J. Marshall, of College Park, Ga., have been secur ed to judge the numerous exhibits and to award the premiums. This announcement will be read with interest by the poultry exhibl tors of this and surrounding coun ties inasmuch as Mr. Marshall Is udge of national reputation, having acted as judge at three world's fairs as follows: Tbe Columbian Exposi tion. Chicago. 111.. In 1903: Worlds Fair, St. Louis. Mo., 1904: James town Exposition, Virginia. 1907. Be sides being a judge at these places he has acted as judge in scores of state fairs over the south and west The following are some of the lar ger cities in which he has been tbe judge of the poultry at recent state fairs: Atlanta, Birmingham, Mem phis, Nashville and Dallas, Texas. Mr. Marshall is poultry editor or The Southern Ruralist and Is well known by poultry raisen In the south and west. In 1910 he was a member of tbe Standard Revision Committee. Mr. E. G. Wardin, of the Nevin Poultry Farms In Mecklenburg county, will act as secretary and su perintendent of the poultry depart ment. Mr. Wardin has spent many years In the poultry business ana has acted as superintendent in other fairs within tbe past few years, and is well qualified to supervise the work here. Already Secretary Holland has had a large number of requests for en try blanks from poultry fanciers In this and other counties and it is ex pected that the show will be one of tbe biggest ever held in this county. In order that there will be plenty of room for the coops and pens of the exhibitors a tent two and a half times larger than tbe one used at last year's fair has been secured, thus assuring that plenty of space will be afforded for all the exhibits. One of the features of the poultry, department this year will be the pigeon exhibits. There Is a great deal of interest manifested in pig eons In Gaatonia and the county and word has been received that many entries will be made. There are also a number of pets, such as squirrels, rabbits and bantam chickens, which will be entered by. the young folks. This will be quite an attractive addi tion to the poultry department. . E. 8. Thomas, of Georgia, was convicted Saturday in superior court at Raleigh of an attempt at criminal assanlt on Miss Eula Nunn. of Nash ville. Tenn., and was sentenced to IX months on tbe roads. Tbe crime was committed in a Pullman car in the Raleigh yards about two weeks ago. Satisfactory Settlement Made in Case of lr. T. C. Quickd vs City of Gas. tonU City Most Build Concrete Waterway Sufficient to - Carry Water - Plaintiff Awarded Three Hundred Dollars Damage Court Adjourned Yesterday. The September term of Gaston Superior court for tbe trial of civil causes was adjourned yesterday morning about 11 o'clock, the two weeks docket having been disposed of. Action was taken yesterday in the case of Dr. T. C. Qulckel against the City of Gaatonia. This -was a case in which Dr. Quickel, who lives on tbe corner of South and Fourth streets, was asking relief for dam ages done to his property by the water from a branch which flows through his property. An injunction had been secured several montns ago in which the City was forbidden by the Superior court of this dis trict to allow the waste water from the Main streets to flow on the property of the plaintiff. A compromise was effected yes terday and Judgment was rendered as follows: Tbe City of Gaatonia must build, in a reasonable length of time, a concrete waterway witb an airtight concrete or stone cover, from Fourth street across the prop erty now owned by the plaintiff to the southern boundary line of plain tiff's property sufficient to carry tne water of the branh which now flows across the property. This water way must also be sufficient to carry the surface water which naturally would flow thereover. The Injunc tion granted by the court some time ago will remain the same and con tinued in full force and effect. The city will build sufficient permanent waterways to prevent water from be ing diverted from its natural flow and made to flow on or by plaintiff's property. The City of Gastonia will pay to the plaintiff, Dr. T. C. Quickie, damages In the sum of $300 and the costs In the action. Following are the cases disposed of since Tuesday's session: No. 9.
