GASTOMA'S GREAT WKKK. Charlotte Observer. Gastonia will this week be host to. the Western North Carolina Confer ence of the M. E. Church. South, and the preparations made in advance Insure the fact that the town will measure fully up to the occasion. It is the next thing to hav ing the Conference sit in Charlotte, for the steam and trolley lines and the fine roads and the automobile will make almost hourly exchanges of visits entirely practicable. Of course Gastonia has all the delegates and visitors on the card bedded and boarded, but if any of them become fatigued and want a little change or diversion, the run over to Charlotte will be fond as agreeable and pleas ant as the run over to Gastonia Is going to be found by the hundreds of Charlotte people who will do that very thing.

Practically all of this was put into plumbing, painting, calcr- miniug. carpentering, oiling and other thorough cleaning. Our buildings were made clean, sanitary and at tractive. An important part of a boy's education is to put him into a clean building and train him to keep it dean. Our students are express ing tneir tiianks for taking good care of the property; in 10 weeks onzy two window glasses have been broken. $1,('00 of the above 1,300 is being given by friends of the col lege in Weaverville and Asheville. "Our enrollment this fall is a lit tle larger than last fall; $1 compared to 7;;. lt.st fell there were ! minis terial students; this fall, 11. These are given 40 per year In tuition. Nearly all of our students are study- ng well and benaving proieriy. During last spring and summer several improvements wer planned and are being carried out. &ome or these are as follows: I. The students are required to attend' Sunday school and preaching. 2. Regular attendance upon classes is strictly required.
