(Written for The Gazette.) Tonight at eight o'clock tne mem bers of the Greater Gast.ta CVunty Association, representing every (own and township of Gaston County will meet, two hundred and fifty strong, in the County Court House for tne first meeting of the new associat'ou Already over 25P memberships have been received from every cor ner of the county, these memberships assuring an income for the firt year of at least $2,000. This, while not a large sum to begin so ambitious a project, makes certain fhe success or the organization: and enables It to get under way. The business of tonight's meeting will be confined to the election of of ficers and directors, two directors being elected from each township by the entire membership of that town ship, and the four officers, president. first and second vice-presidents and treasurer being elected frpm the county at large. Election will be by ballot. Four of the townships. Cherry ville. Dallas, Crowders Mountain and Gastonia have already nominat ed their candidates for directors; four being named and two elected. Riverbend and South Point townships will both nominate and elect at the meeting: and a nominating bourd com posed of one representative from each township will name two men for each of the county offices to be filled. Among the projects now before the association are the Improvement of marketing conditions' for farm produce: the establishment of a dairy to serve the whole county; the establishment of a branch of one of the large packing houses to draw not only from Gaston county but from Mecklenburg. Cleveland and Lincoln. and from the more adjacent por tions of South Carolina: the secur ing of new industries for the whole county and an advertising campaign that shall present the opportunities and advantages of Gaston not only to the South but to the West and East.

In Individual memberships brought on any single day Mayor Arm strong, of Gastonia, and M. L. Mau ney. of Cherryville. top the list with nine each, closely followed by Geo. W. Stowe. of Belmont, and E. G. Mc Lurd. of Gastonia. The Greater Gaston County Asso- j elation Is closely modelled upon the famous Hampton County Improve ment I.ague of Massachusetts, or whose work Mr. Mlllsaps. the district demonstration agent for the govern ment, spoke so well at the Gastonia smoker last week. The Hampton County league starting with fewer members than the Gaston association has now reached a membership of 1.34.". and an annual Income of over $10,000. With the good start secur ed by the Gaston county association those closest to its organization have every reason to believe that the body will prosper and flourish splendidly and that Giiston county will soon be 'nol-od to not only as a model for tiie South but for the whole country.

Have you contributed your dollar to the Wilson fund yet? If not. now is the psychological time. You are going to cast your vote on No vember Tth for Woodrow Wilson, the greatest President that this country- has ever had. Why, then, have you neglected to contribute in a material way to his cause and the cause of Democracy? In the next few days the Preslden tlal race of 1916 will begin Its turn into the homestretch. A feeling or confidence pervades the air from tne Atlantic to the Pacific among tiie managers of the campaign in behalf of President Wilson. Encouraging reports are coming in from every section. The great Middle West States are ablaze with Wilson en- il. I uiusiasm. neason ana logic ire on the side of Democracy. But there is one fear among the Democrats, and that is Republican money. Tbe Republican campaign is being con ducted with utter disregard for ex pense. Not since the days of Mark llanna has the country witnessed such an outpouring of money from Wall Street's capitalists with tne hope of electing Hughes. "Anything to beat Wilson." is their slogan. The Democrats cannot hope to match dollar with dollar in the bat tle but money is needed with which to meet the proper and legitimate expenses of the campaign in order that the people may know the facts concerning the marvelous record of constructive, progressive and efficient accomplishment made by the Demo cratic Party under President Wilson. President Wilson, at Shadow Lawn on September 30th said, "What it is our imperative duty to do, my fellow-citizens, is to make everybody we know understand what the Democratic Party stands for and what It Intends to do." By contributing to the Woodrow Wilson campaign fund you can help the publicity managers, of the Demo cratic committee, get the truth to the people, thereby aiding esse-.ulaliy in W oodrow W ilson s re-election on November 7.
