A special meeting of the town council was held on Wednesday. Capt. James H. Fayssoux tendered - bis resignation as mayor. Tbe coun cil unanimously refused to accept the resignation. Their action will receive the unqualified approval or every individual citizen of the town. - Capt. Fayssoux's reasons for re- ... signing were that he was Impressed with the Idea that his administration of town affairs was not giving satin faction. 'This belief be based upon . remarks made concerning two recenr violations of town ordinances, which 'were not punished. We heard these remarks and made a few of them ourself. bat never heard, y and cer tainly never made an Intimation that Capt. Fayssoux had in any par ticular been derelict in in his duty. The blame did not attach to him. He restored quiet, and it was' not his place to make tbe arrest and no one . , thought so. Had the proper officer made the arrest and brought the par- ties before him, we. In common with every one else, are satisfied that ,' Capt. Fayssoux In strict accordance with his high sense of justice and his character as a conscientious or , fleer would have enforced the ordi nance to the letter and spirit. brought , suit against them in , the Superior Court and secured Judg ment. That part of the v Carolina Central (about 14 miles) . lying . in Gaston county was accordingly lev led on and sold by the sheriff. Mr. Richards became the purchaser at a cost of SfO, about one dollar and fifty cents per mile. This is tne cheapest railroad ever bought in the United States. J , AC omThe G Mrs. R. J.

During her long illness and in tne midst of excruciating pain we are told that Mr. Adams exhibited great . patience and cheerful submission to the will of the Master. She died tri umphant in the Christian's hope or heaven and we extend to her bereav ed ffcnillv our heartfelt sympatny. The Gazette. (From The Gazette of Feb. 16, 83.) The first number' of The Gazette appeared February 21. 1S80, under anything else but favorable pros pects. The first attempt at publish ing a paper was The Gastonia Her ald by Mr. E. M. Evans, a practical printer, of Chester. S. C. Mr. Evans was backed by a company composed of the following citizens: J. R. Kin caid, J. E. Page, T. G. Chalk, O. W. Davis. J. W. Davis. R. H. Aadms, K. E. Waddill. J. H. Fayssoux and D. C. 'Beam. The capital stock amount ed to $425. The material was pur chased second-hand at a bargain, but they had no press. A great deal or other material was found necessary to complete the outfit for a neat pa per. The Herald reached a sub scription of about 100 when It caved in. The next effort for a newspaper was by R. M. Martin, Esq.,. who started The Enterprise, a small but spicy little sheet. The Enterprise in creased in circulation until the ap pearance of The Gazette as berore mentioned. The present owners of the Gazette bought up all the shares at a great ly reduced price, added in a press and additional material at an in creased cost of about $-00. , The first printers employed were Casslus Buckner, of St. Louis, Mo., and Homer Bernhardt, of Concord, besides the1 following boys: Grego ry Waddill. Edward Johnson ana Morgan Fayssoux. The paper has gradually increased in circulation and is now a .well established and paying Journal. The great drought of J 881 was a serious drawback but the manager, by energetic and care ful work, kept it on a solid basis. New material has been added from month to month until today $3,000 is asked for the office and establish ment. Feveral changes have taken place among the printers since it was es tablished. Homer Bernhardt Is now the foreman. Ed Johnson. 2nd com positor. Morgan Fayssoux, 3rd com positor, and Robert Glenn and Eu gene Harper, apprentices. Gregory Waddill is now in charge of a tele graph office at Laurel Hill at a sala ry of $2" per month. The Town Council. (From The1 Gazette of Feb. 16. S3.) in accordance with the request contained in a petition laid before him on Monday. Mayor J. H. Fays soux called a special meeting of the council on Tuesday. The petition, in addition to requesting the council to meet, prayed the repeal of tne street working ordinance. The citizens of Gastonia pay a tax of 20 cents on each $100 and 60 cents on each poll, and those wiio signed the petition believed tbat the amount raised at that rate and re maining in the town treasury (about $100) was sufficient to keep the streets In repair, and accordingly requested the council to repeal tne ordinance which required each male citizen to work the streets or pay a fine of 75 cents per day. The council refused to rescind tne order and passed a resolution mak ing this question an Issue in the next election. (To Be Continued.) Great Rejoicing by Rheumatic Cripples Correspondence of. Tbe Gazette. CHAPEL HILU Dee. 2. Never before in the-history of the Univer sity or any other college baa such a celebration been-fceN over a football victory as was staged "here tonight Tbe enthusiasm which goes with tri umph and which baa been lying dor mant for eleven years waa poured oat in every possible manner. , By rights the main outburst should have come on Thursday nlgbt after the game, but on account of the iiiness of Mrs. Graham and to allow tbe vic torious heroes time to return ana participate In the celebration, it was postponed until Saturday night. The general mass meeting was called for. 7 o'clock but long before this time. Jubilant boys bedecked in I all manner of array were parading tbe campps. The co-eds, wearing Carolina colors, were out in mil force. Then came "Scsu'8 Band.' upon which all of the decorative ge nius of the University had been ex pended, marching to the tune of "The Richmond Blues." Following the band came the Virginia team " appropriately labeled and bandaged, testifying to the tact that they cnuio not get out f Bill's way." With the Carolina team on the plat form, togeiuer with many others Prof. Billy .Noble took cnarge. He in his own way waa pointing out the virtues of the team when Roy Home wood rushed up tbe aisle followed by a goat covered with Virginia colors. Pandemonium reigned over the house packed te its limit. When or der was restored, pep speeches were had from President Graham. Coacn Towery Campbell, Captain Tandy and others. Doctor Lawson, the vsrsity.physician. was then called on "I have been going to Richmond for eleven years." "he said, "trying to get a prize, and this time 1 got It." to saying be pulled a mud stained tool ball from under his overcoat and Ditched it into the lap of Yank Tan dy. An Immense torchlight procession followed the meeting. The band and team on wagons pulled by boy was followed by four fellows carry ing a black, grim coffin draped in o ange and blue. ' After parading tb streets of the campus and town, tne procession headed for the athletic field where the biggest bonfire imag inable was made. As Tandy applied the torch to the oil-soaked moss, and the flames illuminated the whoie sky, above on a pole a big Virginia pennant was seen waving, and stiH higher was floating, in the breeze the blue and white of Carolina. Ied by Bill Folger riding a mule hid Dy Virginia colors, the student body augmented by the people of the town and community began a snako dance which lasted until the dth- TODAY'S P0EI HAVK-TOV?

I'nrle Jimmy Mull I He at Morgan ton Head of Largest Direct Faro ily In This Country. Charlotte Observer. Movganton, Dec. 1. "Uncle Jim my Mull," as he was popularly known and one of Burke's best known citi zens and the head of the largest fam ily of direct descendants In America,' is aeau. Mr. Mull has over one hundred and forty living children, grand chil dren and great grandchildren and nine years ago was proclaimed by President Roosevelt as being at the head of the largest direct family pr the country. Although a lire long Democrat or much Influence he took 'great de light in the fact, that a picture or one. of his family reunions which were held every year was framed and placed in the White House by Colonel Roosevelt. He was a splendid citizen In ev ery respect. mid of fire sunk into oblivion, then tweleve hundred happy marched away singing "Hark Sound" glad that revenge had so sweet. the been Af J oay3 fhuight a Railroad. ' (From The Gazette of Feb. 16, '83.) Mr. William Richards, or Brevard, was here on a visit to relatives this week. Mr. Richards enjoys the dis tinction of being the only .citizen of Gaston county who ever bought .a railroad. Some months ago a cow belonging to William Skidmore. ot this county, was killed by a train on tbe Carolina Central Railroad. The authorities of, the road refused to pay for the cow and Skidmore If So Crippled You Can't I'se Arms or l-eii Itlicuma Will Help You or Nothing to Pay. If you want relief in two days, swift, certain, gratifying relief, take one-half teaspoonful of Rheuma once a day. If you want to dissolve every par ticle of uric acid poison in your body and drive It out through the natural channels so that you will ne forever free from rheumatism, get a ."i0-cent bottle of Rheuma from J. II Kennedy &. Co. or any druggist to day. Rheumatism is a powerful disease strongly entrenched in joints and muscles. In order to conquer powerful enemy must be sent against it. Rheuma is the enemy of rheuma tism an enemy that conquers It ev ery time. Judge John Barhorst. of Ft. Lora mie. Ohio, knows it.

A Raleigh dispatch to The Daily Xews says: Attorney-General Bick- ett spent the day here working upon the i upan suit against .orth Caro lina for the recovery on the $40,000,- ' r.etba? bond.i and announced tonight that he will argue tbe case for the State In the supreme court of the I'nited States January S. 1917. Mr. Hickett may have a nana as he said of "Old Man Home" but iie means to appear as i tiler counsel ior the commonwealth. It is much tne biggest thing that he has. tackled since he became attorney general eight years ago and he nas argued with great success many important cases. The Cuban suit was announc ed the day before election and not a few republicans understood it to be a political coup, it now promises to be one of the most serious things that the State has ever-'met. Should ( uba get judgment it is generally believed here that the bill to be paid by North Carolina would be $40, 000.000. Just now that would be terhfnc. The State repudi ated the bonds by plebiscite and they j have been offered many other States without success. A democratic vsce- piesldential candidate ran for that office largely upon his record, his friends said. He refused to take tne bonds. The argument of Mr. Bickett con flicts badly with bis Inaugural I speech, which had been set for Jan uary 10. and he will in all probability ask the legislature to give, him until January 11 to get It up. The busi ness incident to getting ready for the change of . administration will keep him away 'much of his time. lie will spend quite a bit of that in ' (xiuisburg. TIIK IMMHt.V IS FILM la'KNT OF SKASOX, Fresh from a series of triumphs that have been unapproached in the South. "The I nborn," a problem film of the better class, will be ottered to the thinking people of Gastonia at the Broadway Theatre Frklay, De cember 8th. Record houses have witnessed this picture in many ol the leading cities of the East and South, and it comes to Gastonia with the endorsement of social workers and others interested in the welfare of the human race. The theme centers around birth control, one of the the storm centers of popular discussion at the present time It approaches this subject frankly and with a. reverent regard for truth and decency, which lifts It out of the merely sensational Into the realm of morality. The restric tion of children under seventeen does not mean that there is anything ob jectionable about the film, but this precaution has been taken simply be cause tne topics discussed are for the mature mind solely. - T ' X - 3' FRUITS AI ; CANDIES - - - - - 1 a '" We have In our store tbe newt aMMortmeut of; home ' made candles, such as , PKAXUT," COCOAXUT, V F V,V " FUDGE OF ALL KIXDS, SALTED PEAXCTsi FRUIT CAXDYY NUGATIXE8, .
