Lome Says Re Will Devote HI Entire Tim a to Job if Elected stands for Economy and Con-T servajton of What We Have Mr Woltsx Favors Increased Approprit City Schools. V. E. Long la a candidate Tor thd position of mayor of Gastonia. This tact was made known by blm thia morning and elsewhere In to-. lay's Gazette will be found his for mal announcement. The Gazette's forecast of (he coming election pub lished Tuesday intimated that Mr. ' Long might be a candidate. When asked, by Tl)e Gazette this MR. V. E. LONG, morning as to what his platform would be Mr. Long said, in sub-, stance: "If the voters of Gastonia see fit' to make me their mayor for the next two years I will devote my VIiLirv lime iu iuuaius auci iuq o Interests. I am not actively engaged In business and hence my time is Largely my own and I would be foot oose to devote my time to the duties of. this office. If elected I would apend as much of every day as was necessary, all of it if circumstances demanded It, at the city hall and else where looking after the city's inter ests. "As I see it," continued Mr. Long, "the next two years of our city ad ministration must of necessity be de voted to conserving what we have. The town is already bonded to Its le gal limit and hence there will be no funds available from bond sales with which to make further permanent Improvements on any large scale. It Is going to be necessary for us to make every cent count and I will put forth every effort to see that the city get value received for every dollar that Is spent. "It would not be my policy to go Into office with a view to tearing things up or making any radical changes. . The administration should be , a conservative and .at the same time a progressive one. If our schools stand in need of enlargement and in creased equipment, I am in favor, of furnishing what is needed, as I re gard our schools one of the city's araatest assets." Mr. Long has been very closely Identified with the business Inter ests of Gastonia for the past thirty years; In fact he has witnessed the growth of the town from a straggling village of a few hundred people to a point where it is recognized as one of -the most important manufacturing towns of the State and one of the fastest 'growing In the Carollnas. He Is one of the city's largest property 'owners and taxpayers. His offer to devote his entire time to the city's Interests If-elected mayor Is one that will appeal to the public. It will be something new for Gastonia. In fact it is practically an unknown thing except where towns have some form of commission or city manager .government Several years ago Mr.' Long retired from active business and has since devoted his time large ly to looking after his property and other bnslness Interests. He baa, kept In close personal touch with all localv activities and Is thoroughly posted on the town's business and growth. MR.WOLTZ A CANDIDATE.

Application blanks may be obtained from Mr. F. P. 'Rockett, assistant postmaster and secretary- of the local civil service commission. A Warning to Farmers. . One of the produce dealers of the city calls our attention to a peculiar situation in regard to the supply or seed potatoes which he think a t&e farmers and others who intend to plant potatoes should give heed to. All dealers who expect to handle seed potatoes this season nave al ready bought their stock at a price lower than today's price for eating potatoes. So it is probable that when these seed potatoes arrive, being cheaper than the other kind can now be bought for, they will be sold out for eating purposes, which will cause a shortage In seed potatoes. , It is therefore good advice to everybody to buy what seed potatoes they will need at once, for fear there will be none to be bad when planting time comes.. If the present prices keep up there will be a good profit In raising potatoes for market this year, and it would not be surprising If a shortage in seed should develop before plant ing is completed. of Mangum A Woltx. As a member of the board of city school commis sioners . he bar rendered the city valuable service. He believes onr children should have the beat public school advantages and believes it xs the city's business to provide such ad vantages. '- . There will probably be further en trances In the mayoralty contest but The Gazette baa not today any defi nite Information as to any particular prospective candidates. Tom Law son Fell Down He Failee to Substantiate- Charges He Mad Short Selling on New lork Ex 1 change Oltlcuenv Washington, Feb. 22. Vindlca tlon of all public officials whose names were brought Into the Investi gation of charges that there was a leak to Wall Street on President Wil son's peace note was voted unani mously today by the House Rules Committee. The report, now virtu ally complete, probably will be put in final shape .Saturday after certain additional records of New York bro kers have been examined. - "It is understood the committee finds that Thomas W. Lawson's sen sational charges were not substanti ated; that R. W. Boiling, brother-in-law of the President, had nothing to do with a "leak" and that advance information concerning the note was furnished to brokers by J. Fred En sary and W. W. Price, local news paper men, who connected deduc tions with facts obtained in conver sations with other reporters who had been told in confidence by Secretary Lansing that a nots was coming. In connection with violations of newspaper ethics, the report says a sub-committee has been appointed to confer with the standing committee of correspondents to determine what, changes will be made in the rules regulating the admission to the con gressional press galleries. No recommendations are made, but the practice of selling short on the New York Stock Exchange is said to be criticised. F A. Connolly, a local broker, is censured for hie tes timony before the committee and E. F. Hutton & Company for failing to produce copies of all messages con cerning the note which reached Its office. "Secret Kingdom" Ideal Saturday. HELD BANQUET. Men's Bible Class of First Preeby- terlan Church Has Delightful So- clal Occasion at Clara Hall Last Nlght. Fully a hundred and fifty men were guests last night of the Men's Bible Class of the First Presbyterian Church at its fifth annual banquet held In the Clara Hall. The .banquet began at 7:30 and lasted till 10:30. Rev. J. H. Henderlite, pastor of the church and teacher of the class, acted as toastmaster and handled the crowd in such a manner as to make of it a splendid social success. An excellent repast was served, af ter which quite a number of im promptu talks were made, dealing for the most part with the history, work and prospects of , this class, which is the largest Bible class in the city and one of the largest no doubt in the State. Col. C. B. Armstrong, through whose courtesy the Clara 'Hall was tendered for the occasion, was called on first and made a brief but very appropriate talk. Among others who were called on and spoxe briefly were J. O. White, president of the class, P. W. Garland and R. C. Patrick, captains of the two mem bership teams; L. N. Glenn, W. T. Rankin, W. P. Grier, E. L. Hanks, M. F. Kirby, Jr., J. F. Jackson, F. P. Sessions, A. M. Smyre, Dr. Fisher, R. L. Alexander, H. F. Glenn, H. M. Ed dleman, J. W. Atkins, Charles Pear son, W. N. Davis, H. RutteK L. L. Henderson, C. J. McCombs and C. E. Adams. A pleasant feature of the occasion was the singing by a selected choir of old familiar tunes from the American Tune Book.

Louisiana and Texas, may li quor in quantity be imported legally for personal use after June 30 next. They alone have retained local op tion. Congress, by its action in adopt ing the Reed amendment, makes ab solute the State-wide prohibition leg islation of Virginia. North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Thus they join the "bone dry" States, Arkansas and Tennessee, which already had enacted statutes forbidding the 'Importation of UquorN rne Florida Legislature, at its bi ennial session in April, is expected to adopt a resolution providing for a referendum on State-wide prohibi tion, although there are now only five out of 52 counties In the State where liquor can be sold legallyDry forces in Louisiana are preparing to fight for a State-wide bill at the next Bession of the Legislature In 1918. About half of the Louisiana parishes are now dry. Virginia became dry only on No vember 1 last, although the people had declared for prohibition by 30, 000 majority at a referendum in Sep tember. 1914. North Carolina became a prohibi tion State January 1, 1909, after the people had ratified a State-wide bill by ,a majority of 44,000 at a referen dum election in May, 1908. The Legislature passed a law tn 1915 permitting any Individual "to re ceive one quart of whiskey or wine and five gallons of beer every 15 days. South Carolina adopted prohibi tion by a referendum vote In Septem ber, 1915, after having had a dispen sary system since 1891. The law rmitted each person to receive a lion of either whiskey, beer or lne a month. Georgia has been classed as a dry State since January 1, 1908, but the prohibition law was not strictly en forced in some of the cities until May 1 last, when a drastic law abolishing locker clubs became effective. Un der this law, each person was limited to a monthly shipment of two quarts of whiskey, or one gallon of wine or 60 pints of beer. Alabama enlisted under the prohi bition banner after several ineffect ual efforts to make the State dry un der the Administration of Governor Comer from 1907-1 1. The prohibi tion law permitted a citizen to re ceive a shipment of two quarts of whiskey, two gallons of wine or four dozen bottles of beer every two weeks. Mississippi has prohibted the man ufacture and sale of liquor within its borders since 1908, but no limit was set on importations until 1914, when a law was passed restricting each individual. to a shipment or one gallon at a time. This law was ineffective as it did not say how ofen a ship ment could be received. In 1916, a more drastic law was passed, making it unlawful for any person to receive more than a half gallon of vlnuous liquor or three gallons of malted or fermented liquors, or one quart of spirituous liquor within 15 days. The Legislature also passed in 1916 an anti-liquor advertising law. Arkansas voted for State-wide pro hibition by 50,000 majority last Fall, and became the first "bone dry" State in the South. Tennesse adopted prohibition In 1908, but the law was not enforced in the larger cities, until 1915, when the Legislature enacted nuisance and ouster laws aimed at city officials who failed to enforoe the prohibition laws. At a recent, session, the Legis lature passed a "bone dry" bill pro hibiting the shipment of liquor into the State after March 1 next. Mary Plckford Cozy Today.

Investigating Commit Hears Testi mony in Indictment of Prison Sys temModern System of Account ing for State Departments to Be Installed Proviso ia Bill on Gov eminent of Cities and Towns Rela I tlve to Extension of City Limits Galls Forth Iebate Other Bills j VJHscussed. , With only eight days remaining of the regular time for its biennial ses sion the General Assembly is speed ing up In an effort to get all the pro posed, legislation out of the way on time. 'Night sessions are being held for this purpose. . Inc our last is sue the principal 'transactions of the Assembly have been as follows: WEDNESDAY. The joint committee on education voted a favorable report for the teachers' assembly bill for the certif cates of teachers. The Senate vote was unanimous and the House voted favorably and then sent the measure to the appropriation committee with out prejudice. It would provide six examiners, who would also hold the teachers' Institutes, that are now held by the various counties, at least biennially, and county funds now ex pended by the counties for these in stitutes would be turned to the state to bear the expense of the examiners. Long sessions were (held by tne legislative committee investigating charges against the management of the state farm convict quarters. Chairman E. L. Travis, of the Cor poration Commission, as a formes chairman of a prison board of direc tors, testified that corporal punish ment is most essential for convict control and that records of whippings at the farm were not excessive In view of the types of convicts the camps have. He and former Govern or Kltchin and numbers of others paid highest tributes to the tharac ters and official integrity of Capt. Rhem and Capt. Christian,' In charge of the farm camps. Governor Kltch in suspected that the sharp require ment to earn profits to the credit of the prison management had prevent ed really adequate expenditures for the care of the convicts In many re spects, but heard no special com plaints of any bad conditions during his administration. He thought f 25 per month too little to pay for guards. The House passed the bill from the Senate directing the Corporation Commission, with the assistance, of expert accountants, to devise and In stall thoroughly modern system of accounting for the State departments. The bill originally included a system for the counties also, but that was eliminated. Another general bill passed was that to change the name of the A. and M. College to the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and En gineering. The Senate passed the Allen bill for Indeterminate sentences. Also the bill of Roberts, of Buncomue. from the House providing for abso lute divorce by either party after 10 years' separation. The State-wide game commission bill was variously amended as to ex emption of counties And then tabled. The Senate passed numerous local bills. THURSDAY. The House committee on liquor traffic vofed almost unanimously to night to report unfavorably the bill to create the office of State Commis sioner for enforcement of the prohi bUlon law. Members of the com mittee were very much at sea as to just what the Federal situation real ly is. Some, including Speaker Mur phy, believed the new Federal law will prevent even bringing a quart or other package into the State in one's suitcase or grip, "its transportation" in any way being prohibited in States where manufacture and sale are pro hibited. Speaker Murphy proposed that the committee offer a bill to make It al felony to distill liquor and Repre sentative Grant, Of New Hanover, wanted to add that it be a felony to have a quart in one's possession. Sev eral members of the committee indi cated to the chairman that they would vote to report m "felony" bill favorably to apply to blockaders to gether. The committee having under con sideration the Brenlzer bills and oth ers for government of cities and towns, gave a lengthy hearing this afternoon on section three assta ex tension of corporate limits, inhere having been numbers of people here to oppose the feature that would have annexations of outlying territory be by majority of the combined vote of the municipality and the outlying territory Involved. Insistence is that it will force suburbs in over their op- position and work harm to all con cerned. The Senate spent from 8 to 10:30 o'clock In committee of the whole on the revenue bill as It came from tne House. Very few changes were made and when the committee arose and the Senate resumed, the bill passed second roll call reading. Section 28 had been adjusted so the counties lost a special tax on moving pictures and vaudeville shows. This was vot ed into the bill on motion of Senator Thompson.' The Senate 'considered briefly the Justice bill for machinery for local school legislation Including the call Ing of special tax elections on peti tion of onoe-third of the freeholders. The bill was generally acceptable but went over for minor amendment. The 'House set the State flshertelj bill by Grant as a special order for TO MEET WITH MRS.
