These voters maintain that however able the Cleveland county statesmen are they hold no monopoly on the attributes necessary for making Tar Heel statesmen. But they believe in letting all who crave the honrs of judge, governor or congress en ter the ring, and let the best man win. LOCAL BANK TO EQUIP FARMERS BUSINESS ROOM. Bank of Gastonia Will Open Office Where the Gaston County Farmers May Transact Their Business. The farmers of Uaston county are to have a private office in the city where they can transact their business matter! without being molested. This is going to lie made possible through the courtesy of the management of the Hank of Gastonia, which is having a farmers business and exhibit room fitted up in the rear of the bank building on East Main street. This room will be well -equipped with chairs, writing material, tables, electric fans and other conveniences. Farmers who have farm products to sell are urged to put a sample on exhibit in this room where it will be properly labelled and placed on lisplay. Packages and bundles left in this room will be taken care of also. This feature of the bank is an innovation for Gaatonia and will doubtless make a strong apical to the farmers of the coun ty.

Lad Died Suddenly in Race For Mail Box Raleigh. June .'!. Dennis Yates, the lfi-year-old son of Mr. .1. J. Yates, of the (ireen Leaf section, died yesterday in the lane from his father's home to the main road. He was running to the mail box, and according to reports which reaches! here, was racing with his brother. He suddenly fell and his brother found him gasping for breath and his face blaunched. Medical assistance was quick ly obtained, but the lad who was unusu ally well grown and apparently in -perfect health expired before physicians could reach him. Heart failure, caused possi bly from the racing, was assigned as the cause of death. If any have forgotten Abraham Lin coln 's origin, the exploits of Sergeant York will serve as a reminder that our "mountain whites" are of unexcelled American stock Springfield Republican.

GASTONIA WOMEN HELD ENTHUSIASTIC SUFFRAGE MEET ( Written for The (la.ette. ) At the Armingtun Hotel on last Wed ne-..lay, that great day for those inter este.l in the advancement nf women, was held the second meeting of the local wo men interested in eipinl suffrage. It was unanimously agreed nt this meeting that it is the duty of our wo men to prepare themselves for citizen ship, tor whether we will or not, citizen ship will undoubtedly be conferred upon us next year. That voting will then be a duty as well as a privilege was agreed and as our wo men have always met duty when it called, so will they now prepare themselves fol this new duty. The politicians and newspapers all over the country are, and will be greatly exercised over this new element in thf political situation, but tlo-re are few pla ces where the newly enfranchised will make less changes than here in (Iastonia. Our men have always wanted to co-operate with our women in the betterment work of the town. How often has the writer heard our business men say, ''If the women are back of it, so are we. " The women of (last mia realize tins and that local politics needs none of their help, but they also realize that as the strength of the Red Cross was in the wo men all over the country standing shoul der to shoulder, now here too they must do their part so as to be standing by their sisters who in a great many locali ties really need the vote. And there may come a time in national politics when the women of the South may save for the Democratic party the presidential elec tion as did the women of the West in the last election. Our local women also agreed that in one matter they would like to Ih' repre sented as early as possible, as long as we have formed a separate school board, they would like to help elect that school board, but as this could not 1m done ex cept by an amendment to the state con stitution, the next lest thing would ! to have one or two women on the board elected by our men. We think all will agree with us that women are as fully in terested and informed in this matter as men. Many other important topics were discussed. There 'a no end to the ques following a courtmartial at Munich, says sion. An urgent invitation is extended to all interested in either side of the ques tion to le present at the next meeting which will be held at the Armington Ho tel. Wednesday, the 11th of June, at 4 o 'clock. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Sprouse and children left today in their car on a visit to relatives in Virginia.
