OXK HUXIREI AXI KFXXXVD IX- STALLMEXT. Locals. ' (From The Gazette of Jan. 18, '84.) Mr. I. X. Davis, of York county. S. C has moved into his splendid new residence on Airline street. We wel- come Mr. Davis to our town. Mr. James W. Smith, one of our subscribers of South Point, has in his band a minnie ball that was shot Into it during a battle in the army of i Virginia In 1865. It makes an ugly looking place but he says It seldom , gives him pain. ' Forest Kincaid. one of our print ers, was taken severely sick here lasi Monday and had to be sent home. We are sorry to learn that the doctor pronounces his case a severe attack ' i of pneumonia. We hope he will soon . recover. A man said in this office the other ' day that he was surprised at the general prosperity of the farmers in ... ' Gaston county. He further said that in a few years he believed Gaston would become one of the best and most independent counties in the . itate; and we agreed with him right on. T " By reference to an advertisement elsewhere In our columns it will be seen that a northern joint stock company has been organized in Gas ton county for the purpose of 'mining and manufacturing iron ores and other minerals. The capital stock is to be 1250.000. This is an indica tion that there may be something good In store for our county. Marriages. ' (From The Gazette of Jan. 18, '84.) At the residence of the bride's ra ther, Mr. F. M. Walker, on the Sth instant, by Rev. M. R. Kirkpatrick, f Mr. L. C. Neil and Miss Sudie E. Wal- ker were married. On the 25th of December. 1883, by Rev. J. F. Morris, Mr. W. B. Mc- Lnre to Mrs. M. A. Ford, at the resi dence of Mrs. M. McClure's in Lin coin county; and, also, at the same ' time, Mr. James Hawkins to Miss Hettle Abernethy. All the parties are of Lincoln county except Mrs. Ford. ' ' : From Charlotte, (Prom The Gazette of Jan. 18, '84.) Editor Gazette: Although I am not a subscriber here to your lively paper, I chance to see a copy occa - sionally. - Charlotte has been quite dull since the holidays, but I have notic ed a great many Gaston men In town. Several Gastonians are regts- , tered at the Central this morning. The most Interesting topic on the streets now Is the case of "Chalk vs. Traders National Bank." Some im portant facts are being developed , which look bad for the officers of that institution. Smith, the former president, has been on the witness stand every day since the first of January, and I am Informed he makes a splendid witness. It seems " now that Mr. Ross was not the only borrower from the institution. On the day that he borrowed $13,500, Mr.'C. X. G. Butt borrowed K,500 In order to reduce the capital stock, it is claimed. j There is something very remarka ble about these bank failures; that is R. Y. McAden, a citizen of your county, is nearly always selected to wind them up. I understand he had to manage the Bank of Mecklenburg; Hope Almost Abandoned When She Found Remedy Ir. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Re lieves Chronic Case of Long Stand lug. After a long period of suffering with liver and bowel trouble that brought on piles, during which she ad tried many remedies without ob taining relief, Mrs. Mary J. Jewell, or Berrien Springs, Mich., heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and obtain ed a bottle from her druggist. This simple. Inexpensive laxative com pound brought almost immediate re lief and Mrs. Jewell wrote to Dr. Caldwell about her case. In ber letter Mrs. Jewell says: "I bad tried so many things for the piles, without being helped at all, I had about given up hope of ever be ing any better. I knew It was the condition of my bowels that caused them, and after I bad taken a bottle of your Syrup Pepain I knew it was jnst the medicine I needed. I am very grateful to yon for sending me the little book the advice and in structions it gives wocld teach any one bow io get well and bow to keep welL" - . . Dr. Caldwell' 8yrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, free from opiate or nar cotic drugs, and is mild and gentle in its action, bringing relief in an easy. THE EIGHTIES now he is the principal director tn winding up the Traders Bank. Al though he owns 10 shares of its stock G. W. . Chalk was excluded from the annual meeting of its stock holders. The following were present In the meeting: R. Y McAden, 10 shares; Judge Shipp, 4 2 shares, in the name of his wife; R. I. McDowell, 32 shares; I. L. Vail, cashier; J. W. Wadsworth, 32 shares; A. B. Da vidson, 10 shares; who were all that were present when the meeting was organized. Aterc. Locals. (From The Gazette of Jan. 25, '84.) The case of Mrs. G. E. Coolidge a gainst Mrs. Hinson is to come before W. A. Pearson, Esq., in this place next Monday at 2 o'clock p. rn. We learn that Mr. John Riddle is conducting a singing school at Pia gah church and, of course, the young people are attending it and enjoying themselves as well as im proving in the singing art. Messrs. Long & Bro., of 'Kings Mountain, have moved into our town for the purpose of engaging in the tin and stone business. They will occupy the brick store room of Dr. R. H. Adams on the corner of Main and Marietta streets. We weir come them. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Yancey Withers, who distilled for Mr. Aleck Rhyne abouti two miles east of town, died last Saturday af ter a painful illness of over a week. We understand a rising in his head broke last Friday night and began to run from his ear. Some say at least a' quart of blood must have run out of his head. He leaves a young wife who is in great grief on ac count of his loss. Reports, Merely. (From The Gazette of Jan. 23, '84.) It is reported that the Judgments of this world may be reversed in eternity. That it sometimes happens that the other side has a laugh. That one of our good citizens has recently discovered that saw dust is not good for cows. That a good widow near Pleasant Ridge, week before last, lost count of the days and observed one-half of Saturday week for Sabbath berore she discovered her mistake. That a certain young man in great haste for a doctor one dark night last week broke into Mrs. Ad ams' hot house, breaking glass doors, turning over flower pots and smashing things generally. Died. (From The Gazette of Jan. 25, '84.) In South Point township, January 20, 1884, Mr. Wm. R. McLain, In the 73rd year of his age. (To Be Continued.)

Friday's Hike in the Rain as Told by a Scout. On Monday night at a meeting or Troop No. 3 it was decided to take a hike Friday, the 23rd. On Friday it was drizzling and cloudy and It looked like we would not get to go. But at 3 o'clock 13 boys were pres ent at the telephone building. It was raining but it was decided to go on, so the command "On Line" was given and then "Forward March" and we were off in the rain. We marched down Franklin avenue and when we reached Columbia street It was peppering down and we stopped under the shelter of the Mint Cola plant until the rain slacked, then we went on. When we reached the fair ground It was raining hard so we broke ranks and ran to Mrs. A. A. McLean's and stopped under the shelter of her garage. Mrs. McLean was not there but we were greeted by the servants and dogs. After a- bout half an hour of talk and light exercise we cleaned a place and built two small fires and fried our meat and weinies, fish and other gruD. Thanks to Scout Charles Zimmer man, who had a box of cocoa whicn he shared with all, Scout Master Babington had some sugar, Scout Ralph Falls had his canteen and we had cocoa, weinies and a lot of other grub, and that was our supper. In putting the mess kits together Scout Zimmerman found he had lost the handle to his frying pan. After a search it was not found. When the black was washed off our faces and the mess kits put pack in the knap sack, the Torrence Morris Ford, with Assistant Scout Master Ralph Padg ett and Mr. Claude Craig came in time to eat the remains. After things were straight, the Piedmont Telephone Ford came and took a load of boys with burnt fingers and happy faces to town. As Torrence Morrls Ford was open and it was still raining, it was not advisable to ride in it, so the Piedmont Telephone ford came back on a second trip. taking six boys, Including Scout Master Babington. When we readi ed town we were greeted by a few Scouts awaiting our return. We had a very nice time if the elements did interfere. THOMAS QUICKEL, JR., Gastonia, Feb. 24, 1917. Konifl Scout Doings in Other Cities. A troop of Scouts has been organ ized among the messengers of the Postal Telegraph Co. in Dallas, Tex. The scouts of Joplin. Mo., offered their services to the local fire de partment during a disastrous blaze. The services were accepted and the scouts formed a line, carrying hun dreds or dollars worth of goods from the burning business establish ments to a place of safety. Later they assisted the police by guarding the fire lines and helping to handl the crowd. The Canton. O., Scouts have Just waged a successful campaign against the tussock moth. One troop col lected 26 1-4 oz.. or 6 3-8 qts. of the eggs. Four troops collected 14 qts., or approximately 3,000,000, eggs. The winning troop received a large parade banner for its work.

"Have you got a warrant for me," inquired a lean lank individual of Sheriff Davis at the court house Monday morning. "I don't know," replied the genial accommodating high sheriff, "but if we haven't one we can fix one up for you. What is the warrant for?" "Chicken ffghtin' " replied the sheriff's visitor. Obtaining the young man's name the sheriff (filed out a warrant and the two stepped up to 'Squire 6. S. Morris' office near the court house. The defendant submitted, was taxed with a small fine and the costs and went his way rejoicing. This is a characteristic incident of recent days hereabouts. Every few days the officers get hot in behind a bunch of chicken fighters. Some of them get away but, fearing that they will be caught, come up and do as this one did. Years ago cock fighting was a great game in this part of the coun try and it took the officers of Xorth and South Carolina several years to break up the cock mains held along the State line south of here. It was a big gamblers game then and sportsmen came from far and near to take part in the betting. It was a regular business in those days. iow it Is carried on on a small scale and the sportsmen are entirely local. However there is getting to be quite a good deal of this kind of gambling both inside and outside the city lim its and the officers of both town and county are making a determined ef fort to break it up.
