And now there are some who are wondering whether the popularity of North Carolina is being added to by If r. Bryan's recent statement that his first nomination was secured when this State swung to Mm. Some folks won't secant an honor when it is tendered them eratia. Perhaps some of the people or Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties -Counties are beginning to think that the question is not when the war will be over, hut when will the Catawba bridges be builtt Charlotte- Obser The thing we are wondering a- ': bout, contemporary, is, when will the Mecklenburg people put up the ' money to match Gaston's which has been lying in the bank lo, these many months Just itching to get out and go to work on those very bridges you're atalkin' about. , ' That wasa splendid gift the Shrin ers made 1 to the iorth Carolina Orthopaedic Hospital. One thousand dollars will b a great addition to the building fund. This institution u going to do Duiu ana we aon i oe- lleve it's going to be any any great while until something tangible is done towards making it a reality, it Is an Institution that the State needs The Gaston county people who con- PHI II 2 til eelved the idea of its establishment .

When it is built and put into opera tion it will stand as a lasting monu 'ment to the efforts of a few loyal men. NO GASTONIANS IN IT. " The Charlotte Observer wants The Gazette and The Concord Tribune to .give some light on the big gas - swindle which the papers have been talking -about for the oast few davs. - Sorry our Information is very limit ed on the subject. We can say, how aver, that while the Gaston County Gas Company is one of the concerns ' Involved it is only involved In the sense that it was one of the con cerns held by the holding company which seems to have perpetrated the auegea swinaie. so iar as we nave 7 been able to learn no Gaston county person has a dollar of stock in the concern or is in anyway connected with It. . The Gaston County Gas Company has here a splendid plant and is giving the city a splendid service which is constantly 'growing. nue we nave no insula lniormauoa , we have a sneaking idea that the . Gaston County Gas Company has made its way and may have made something besides.' Its manager and receiver, Mr. H. K. Logan, who has h..-. t li A nlan t.lt. WVTCU UCIO DIUIV tuo piwii WW MDUkir ed. Is' a splendid r gentleman and knows his business. The Observer is welcome to this little bit of in formation. " ' ' ; . ; That outsiders may not be mis led by the possible inference from The Observer's questJonThat Gaston Absolutely Pure Osf 3 fresi Cresn of Tsrfar 00 ALUO-nO PHOSPHATE people were implicated in this al leged swindle we repeat that no Gas ton county people are connected as stockholders, officers or in any other way with the concern accused of the swindling, and ,bad no knowledge of it until they read about it in The Greensboro News. The Wilmington Star, Ralejgh News and Observer or The Durham Herald. HELPING THE SUFFERERS. (By Mrs. T. M. Brock man.) Gastonia has many tubercular sur feiers who are irnancially unable to equip themselves for the long hard fight ahead of them. Delay -Weans danger. 'Lack of the right kind of nourishing food and fresh air means death slowv torturous, absolutely sure. No doubt you would like to help these people but you do not know who nor where they are. There are those whose business it is to go in and out among them and to give them material assistance when the means are at hand. When you buy Red Cross Christ mas teals you place your money not in the warm palm of the rresn, bright-eyed boy or girl who stands before you but you lay it gently in the white, thin hand of some suffer er to whom money means rest, food, warmth and the fresh air and sun chine which surely God meant to be free but which, unfortunately, are not within the reach of us all. Deadly as any bomb ever dropped by Zeppelins in the flight, insidious and destructive as any Rases ever liberated by German foe man Amer ica's jv en ace is the great white plague Buy- Red Cross Christmas Sea's and in this way minister unto those who 4re friendless, sick and in 'the prison of poverty, helpfulness and hopelessness. Republicans Divided Mann Can't He Elected Speaker. Washington Dispatch. That the Republican party is more hopelessly divided today, if such a thing is possible, than at any time since Theodore Roosevelt threw a monkey wrench in that great politi cal machine four years ago. is tne Arm conviction of one of the leading Repnblican leaders in Washington. Should later developments show that the Republicans have a slight majority in the House tbey will be unable to elect James R. Mann Speaker, because, according to this Republican, the Republican Congress men from the great West, North west and Southwest, will refuse to vote for the IHinoisan, even though concessions in the way of adopting more Democratic rules have already been offered the Westerners. Lenroot, of Wisconsin, is to be put forward by the Western contingent as their candidate for Speaker, whether the Republicans have a ma jority or not. With Lenroot in the race it win be seen mat even though the Republicans have a majority they will be unable to elect a Speaker or to organize the House in any way. Failure to do this means the Demo crats will retain all of their commit tee chairmanships along with the $400,00(,000-odd worth of patron age. Itelmont Land Sale Good. The auction sale of the late A. J. Smith property in Delmont held ednesday by the Atlantic Coast Realty Company was a decided suc cess. The 4 2 lots which were sold brought a total of $12,000. One Gastonia citizen who attended the sale remarked yesterday that the property In Belmont wa ns hlsh as I Gastoni?. real estate. Mr. A. G. Mangum spent yester day and todav in Lenoir. Mr. D. T. Ouzts. of the cottbn firm of Charles L. O'Neal, hes just returned from a week's trip to Spar tanburg, S. C, on business.

T. Barrett to The Gazette man yesterday morning, "go down to Mr. Bob Davidson's home on Clover, route one, anytime between now and Christmas and you will see it. Mrs. Davidson and her daughter, Emma, are weaving some woolen blankets from wool secured from their own sheep. After shearing the sheep they sent the wool off to have it carded, spun and dyed and now they are making some blankets. As soon as they finish the blankets they are going to weave some old-time home' made Jesus cloth." Well, The Gazette man has never seen woolen blankets woven on a hand loom at home come to think of it, he hasn't seen any woven at any time, anywhere on any kind of a loom. So he may take Mr. Bar rett's advice and go down to Mr. Davidson's and see this sight which is, indeed, a rare one now.

I'nder the special excise tax law section 407, act of Congress of Sep tember 8, 1816, every corporation having a capital stock issued and outstanding, represented by shares of the market value of $75,000 or more, must make a return irrespect Ive of the par value of its capital stock. The first return Is required to be made in January, 1917, and on every $1,000 of the fair value of the capital stock in excess of $99,000 25 cents will be assessed for the six months ending June 30, 1917. Then in July, 1917, and annually thereaf ter in July, returns must be made and 'ft cents for each $1,000 of the fair value of the capital stock in ex ceia of $99,000 will be assessed. In other words, the exemption al lowed by law of $99,000 will be. de ducted from the total amount of capital stotk and the tax will be laid upon the balance at the rate of 50 cents for each full $1,000. Benjamin Franklin once said: "If a man empties his purse into his head- no one can take it away from him." It was hier'way of saying that education is one of the things that are imperishable. Through that door thieves can neither break nor steal. Ex. N.A m (r GASTONIA LODGE VO. MO a . , m, . . . .... . - , ' No MeeUaft. -Dec. 15, llo. No Work. .
