'ONE HCXDREOTH INSTALLMENT, v''":'' Local. ' (From The Gazette of Dec. 28. '83.) The festivities 'of Christmas open- ' ed here by the young people having . a pleasant "sociable" at the residence of Mr. R. C. G. Love last Friday night. Among the larger number of young ladies present we noticed Miss ' Emma Parks, of Plnevllle. and Miss Katie Page, of Marietta, Ga. 1 Rev. J."W. 8. Sheppard and wire left here last night for Salem; ya. Mr. Sheppard has for some time been ' connected with Prof. Little In cnurcn and school work in this county. His , departure Is very much regretted by his many friends in Gaston. Our office was completely captured by preachers yesterday, and it was ' not a gopd day for preachers either. There were seven In to see us. Revs. , E. E. Boyce and J. M. McLaln in tne forenoon, and Prof. M. L. Little and Revs, J. W. Sheppard, D. W. Thom asson, J. J. Kennedy and L. R. Mo ' Cormick, in the evening. ' The Crhistmas Tree. (From The Gaaette of Dec. 28, '83.) ' V One of the pleasant features of Christmas in this town was tne Christmas tree at the academy last Monday night. By a humane and wise arrangement every child inside the Incorporation under the age or 12 years was made to receive a pree ent of some kind that pleased ' tne little ones, and none went away without some pleasant memento of the occasion. The room was bril liantly lighted with wax candles, and the large holly fairly glistened witn presents of every conceivable kind, shape and quality. Rev. J. J. Kennedy opened the ex erclses by an approprite address, and Mr. W. C. Huddleson performed the office of Kris Krlngle to the sat- r lsfaction and delight of all. The Gas tonia Cornet Band entertained the . audience at intervals with sweet mu sic and everything passed off -nicety, considering the tremendous crowd - that packed the hall. ' A terrible: disaster. Two Men Killed and Five Crippled. '(From The Gazette of Dec. 28, '83.) ( Last Wednesday evening, about 3 o'clock, the work train on the Ches ter ft Lenoir Narrow Guage Railroad going up the road had a terrible fate at Long Creek trestle about one mile .and a half south of Dallas and two miles and a half north of this place. By some means the trestle over the creek was. knocked to pieces and tne engine, tender and seven flat cars were wrecked, killing the fireman, a colored man, . Joe Henderson, and a Cotton Growing in RaosJ. Charlotte Observer. The Russian degree of independ ence of the Ajnerican cotton planter Is likely to prove surprising. The New York Journal of Commerce re oorts that the 1916 crop In that country showed an unprecedented Increase in production, and that record growth was also made by the output ot manufactures The crop. says The Journal, "was especially good In Central Asia, the amount re ceived from the districts of Fer gansk, Syr-jDaiiinsk, Samarkand, Trans-Caspia, as well as Khiva and Bokhara, being 671,600.000 pounds. To this was added the cotton from the Caucasus, which raised the Rus sian crop to 730.000.000 pounds. The Central Cotton Committee an nounces that the crop for the season of 1917 will be even larger than that of 1916." Equally Interesting Is the account of bow the Govern ment has taken hold of the manage ment of production and distribution. The Journal says that through the control of the entire coton output by the central committee, it was made possible to distribute the raw material to the factories in quanti ties proportionate to their output. To prevent congestion and to ensure steady employment, five successive deliveries were made. The number of cotton machines In the Moscow and Petrograd districts and in Fin land is 8,105.817. Not only did this central committee control the output and distribution of cotton, but also the price. The First National Bank of Shelby has bought 4 1-2 per cent bonds in the sum of $80,000 recently issued Dy Cleveland county. This money will be expended to replace the bridges which were destroyed during the freshets last summer.

The Gastonia GAZETii FRIDAY, FEBRCART 23, 1917. An Oklahoma school girl in one of the lower grades in writing a composition on the life of Abraham Lincoln, said In part: "He was born February 12, 180$, In a log cabin that he built biaself." according to a Pawhuska contemporary. Because some one Invented a ma chine to enable a singer to hear himself as the audience-hears him, there is a demand now for some con trivance that will give us "the girt to see ourselves ss others see 'us.' It seems that all of the Bobbie Burns are not yet dead. The Greenville, S. C, News thinks that "the meanest man in the State is the Spartanburg farmer wno sharpened all the stumps on bis place so that his hands could not sit down to rest." This may be true, but when did the farmers in the Cole Blease State begin working T colored brakeman, Bill Davis, and seriously wounding the conductor, Capt. J. T. MoCabe and two negro men named Sam Thompson and Ephraim Dennis, and slightly wound ing tne engineer, Henry uray and a colored man whose name ia not known. About 100' feet ot tne trestle gave way and went to pieces, and the wonder is that any of the hands escaped. It was the most fearful looking wreck It has ever been our privilege to see, and every one who had an opportunity of witnessing the horrible spectacle soon after the occurence is not apt to ever forget it. (To Be Continued.) A Kansas farmer was recently ar rested and hailed into court on the charge of exceeding the speed limit: He quickly produced a crate of eggs from under the auto seat which was gladly accepted as his bail bond by the court. And now there are some who think that the man should be handled for displaying wealth In bad taste. A bill has been introduced in the House by Killian. of Catawba, to amend the law as to the liquor ship ments into Gaston and Catawba counties. Inasmuch as tne present law absolutely forbids shipment Into Gaston, we are interested to know the nature of the proposed amend ment. Our representatives will most, assuredly not allow any change in the present "bone-dry" law as It ap plies to Gaston. EXTENSION WORK BEOINS. Doctors Ellington and Absher Ready for Service . Many Applications Made for Examinations. (State Board of Health Bulletin.) Raleigh, Feb. 20. The lire exten sion work which the State Board or Health and the Vance County Board of Health propose doing for the peo pie of Henderson and Vance counties within the next few weeks begins Tuesday, February 20. Dr. A. J. Ellington, of the State Board of Health, assisted by Dr. D. C. Abdher, whole time health officer of Vance. will have charge of the work. Already many applications for examinations have been made and every measure for . successfully do ing the work has been provided. In cluding office equipment, laboratory facilities and the printing of free health literature on the subjects for which the examination will be made and which are pertinent to the na ture of the work. The list of diseas es that will have special attention are cancer, tuberculosis. Bright's and other kidney diseases, apoplexy, organic heart diseases and diseased conditions of the mouth, nose and throat. This, method of preventing dis ease and prolonging life by making periodic examinations of the body is based on the most urgent reason that there is in the United States now a most extraordinary increase in the death rate from diseases of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, nervous and digestive systems, in 1910, more than 100,000 deaths, be tween the ages of 40 and 60, occur red from these diseases. The early breaking down of the most important organs of the body presents a national problem. It Is earnestly believed by physicians and health experts that the solution of the problem lies in the duty or ev ery individual to guard against chronic disease by observing the rules of healthful living ahd by hav ing periodic health examinations that disease may be uncovered and checked or cured in its lnclplencr. This is the object of the life sav ing service which the State Board of Health proposes for a number of counties in the State this year.

K c uj Joke Was on the Counsel. The fair plaintiff's counsel in tne breach of promise case thought that he would make life a burden to tne unfortunate young man who was tne unwilling defendant.

The admin istration bill to prevent espionage and conspiracy, framed to meet ex pressly the present exigency in inter national affairs, was passed today by the senate by a vote of 60 to 10. ine measure empodied 14 separ ate and distinct measures framed by the department of Justice and revised by the senate Judiciary committee so that they might be embodied In a single statute. They were opposed by the progressive element in tne senate, led by Senator Cummins, of Iowa. When the vote came the fol lowing senators were found aligned against the bill, holding their nega tive position on the ground that tne measure was subservient of tne rights of citizens of the United States in certain respects: Senator Cum mins' supporters were Senators Bo rah, Kenyon, Gronna. LaFolIette, Norrls and Works, Republicans, and Lee, of Maryland. 'Lane and Varda- man. Democrats. The design of the promoters of the new espionage and conspiracy legislation was to make the United States spy-proof and bomb-proof pending the subsidence of the Ger man crisis: They provide for tne punishment of espionage and acts of Interference with the foreign rela tions and the neutrality of the Unit ed States.

North Carolina's high birth rate of 31.5 per 1,0 (JO population against her low death rate of 13.3 gives her a most remarkable health record.

They are nature's warning of future baldness and proof that the dangerous dandruff germ Is busy on your scalp. Dr. Sangerbund, the famous Paris specialist, first discovered that dand- ruff and falling hair are caused by a microbe. Then came the dlscoverey of the -value of the real Parisian Sage (liquid form) in destroying the dandruff germ and promptly prevent Ing the further loss of hair. The ef fect of only three days' use of Pari sian Sage is simply -marvelous, and the' American people have now a wakened to the fact that they can be quickly rid of dandruff and save their hair by using Parisian Sage. : Parisian Sage is sold by J.
