PROPERTY PROCEEDING. Mr. E. R. Rarer, Golf Expert, Busy Pre paring Grounds For Golf . Course 1,879 Pounds Grass Seed Keceived For Sodding Links. Ordinarily the expression, "letting no grass grow under one's feet," typifies unusual activity, hustle and bustle in any undertaking that may be proposed or under way by any indiridual or set of the same. However, in any account of the doings of the directors of the Gas tonia Country Club, the aforesaid ex pression becomes a rank misnomer, for that is exactly what the Country Club of ficials are not doing, viz: not letting the grass grow under their feet. On the contrary, they are doing just the opposite, to-wit: growing grass on a large scale, if the shipment of grass seed recently received by them, l,f75 pounds said to be the largest single shipment of seed ever received in the county, por tends any thing. For the past several weeks, Mr. E. R. Harer, golf exiert brought here by the Country Club to lay out and prepare a modern golf course, has been busily engaged in clearing the ground of stumps, rocks and other imped imenta, preparatory to the construction of the links. Already a nine-hole course has been laid out. As soon as tie weather permits, a huge tractor plow will be put into operation for the further preparation of the sodding and turfing of the course. The shipment of 1,875 lounds of seed is composed of a Ber muda and golf mixture, esjiecially suited for golf links. By next spring, officials say, the course will be ready for ptay-i"g- A committee, comiosed of Messrs. F. L. Smyre, J. H .Separk and C. C.

I am sure there are numbers of chil dren in this locality that are greatly in need of treatment at some such institu tion; we have some here in our own mill village that we are very much interested in.

We are interested enough to make this contribution with out any nope or expectation or profit or pecuniary benefit, but, I fullv believe that the corporation is warranted in mak- img the subscription as a business propo sition and commend the institution to the consideration of the cotton mills gf the Carolines as a bifsiness proposition ith best wishes, I am yours very truly, Stuart W.

Gastonia, Oct. 23. Cannot Pralso this Remedy too Highly TKI WAY 0XX LADY rtUS AfTO suFFtron two years Judging from ber letter, the mis ery and wretchedness endured by Mrs. Charlie Taylor, R. F. D. No. I, Box 144, Dillon, S. C, must have been terrible. No one, after read ing, her letter, can continue to doubt the great healing power of PE-RU-NA for troubles due to catarrh or catarrhal conditions in any part 'of the body. Her letter is an inspiration to every sick and suffering man or woman anywhere. Here it is: "I suffered two years with catarrh of the head, stomach and bowels. Tried two of the best doctors, who gave me up. I then took PE-RU-NA and can truthfully say I am well. When I began to use PE-RU-NA, I weighed one hundred pounds. My weight now is one hundred and fifty. I cannot praise PE-RU-NA too highly, for it was a Godsend to me. I got relief from the first half bottle and twelve bottles cured me. I advise all sufferers to take PE-RU-NA." As. an emergency remedy in the home, there is nothing- quite the equal of this reliable, time-tried medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands nlace their sole dependence on it for coughs, colds, stomach and bowel trouble, constipation, rheu matism, pains in the back, side and loins ana to prevent the grip and Spanish Flu. To keen the blood pure and maintain bodily strength and robustness, take PK-RU-NA. You can buy PE-RU-NA any where in either tablet cr liquid form.

New Wallace Jteid Photoplay to Be Shown at' the Gastonian Today and To morrow. It is confidently asserted that "The Valley of The Giants," which is WaUaco Reid's new Paramount-Artcraft picture and which will be shown at the Gastonian Theater today and tomorrow, is a pho toplay that will transport the spectator into the land of the big redwoods of northern California. The story, which is one of Capt. Peter B. Kyne's most charming and masterful creations, deals -with life in the big tree country. There are found great and no ble specimens of manhood, strong in mind and body as invincible to greed and hatred and dishonesty as the big trees themselves. Mr. Reid plays the role of a young man who has promised his father to protect at all personal risks, a beautiful forest glade known as The Valley of the Giants, which had been a gift from the father to his wife before her death. Colonel Pen nington, an unscrupulous and cunning ri val of the young man's father, tries to get possession of this property. How the property is almost lost and then finally recovered after a series, of thrilling incidents, is graphically de picted. A beautiful love romance is wov en into the story, an'd it is considered to be one of the best in which Mr. Reid has been seen in hany months. James Cruze directed, Frank Urson photographed the scenes, and a powerful east portray the various supporting roles. Grace Darmond plays opposite the star. PRICE OF HOGS TAKES A BIG DROP. (By The Associated Press.) CHICAGO, Oct. 22 Shrinkage in the value of hogs went to an extrefne degree yesterday at the stockyards here. Not withstanding that prices had declined in some cases ruled in general 75 .cents to $1.00 still lower. For the first time in a long while sales were made below $12:00 a hundred weight and numerous animals changed ownership as far as $11:50. Unusually heavy marketing of hogs recently to avoid high cost of feed is the chief reason assigned for the de moralization of values. One of the im mediate effects of this demoralization was pronounced weakness today in the prices of grain and provisions. BIG CROWD TO SEE GAME IN RALEIGH TODAY. (By The Associated Press.) RALEICH.
