5 THE A. R. P. SYNOD.
' Judging from announcements in local

are not responding as they should in the
' matter of helping to', entertain the dele
gate to the A. R. )'. Synod that con
v venes here May 5. Thin is a matter that
should not be neglected. This body of
, minissters and laymen coming to Gastonia
pfjrouhl not be allowed to carry away an
unfair opinion of Gavtouia hospitality.
Wean entertain all these two or three

oua' Inconvenience if we just set our-

There should be a revival of that spirit

delegates to Presbytery, Conference or

forth that the visitors might be given uh

' SATURDAY NIGHT CLOSING.
. '.The early Saturday night closing is
"working like a top'' say the merchants
who inaugurated this policy a week ago.
: Of course, there are a few customers and
. patrons who are not satisfied, particularly
among the hubituul Saturday night loaf
era who always put off what they ought
to have done earlier in the day. Hut,
l in the main, every one is pleased. The
; proprietors and clerks are glad of the
, chance to close up and go home to rest
for the coming Sunday. The public in
- general appreciate the fact that the
movement stamps Gastonia and Gastonia
merchants as being out of the small-town
" class and up with the larger, progressive
cities of the country. Elsewhere in to-
.day's paper is a comment from The
. Smithfield Herald on the jirogressiveness
. of the movement.
GASTON COUNTY'S CHANCES
LESSENED.
' According to The Charlotte Observer,
Gaston county's chances of landing the
.'. Democratic nomination for Congress from
i the, Ninth district are considerably lea
sened by the entry of Solicitor Wilson
. iato the race. The Observer remarks:
"The Gaston eounty prospects for
landing the ninth congressional district
. ' nomination would seem to 'be handicap
' ped by the entrance of a second Gaston
aspirant in the person of Solicitor Wil-
. eon. The announced intention of the
: - ' --
solicitor is. said to have turned Gaston
' political matters topsy-turvey for the
: time being, though Mecklenburg appears
to have manifested only passing interest
Yin the new .development, properly re
Carding the development as a family af
fair to Gaston. It does not matter who
gets $he ninth's nomination, the usual
duty will remain for Mecklenburg of
Dialing the nominee's calling and elec
tion sure. " ' .. y ;

"THE FASTEST GROWING TOWN
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
1 The Smithfield Herald commends the
Lstand regarding early closing on Satur
day nights, taken by Gastonia merchants.
It says that "if the fastest growing town
in North Carolina finds it the best thing
to,., do, why should nol other progressiva
towns in the State fall in line and adopt
the early closing hour policy f"
This concerto! action by the Gastonia
merchants is one of the lxst advertise
ments that has come our way in a long
time. The Herald says:
The business houses of Gastonia hav
inaugurated a policy of early closing hour
on Saturday night and promptly at eight
o'clock last Saturday night tbey closed
their places of business. The peopie
knew that the early closing hour was to be
put into effect last Saturday night and
either forgot it or did not believe the
merchants would stand by it and many
were put to to some inconvenience. If
the fatsest growing town in North Caro
lina finds it to bo the best thing to do,
why should not other progressive towns
in the State fall in line and adopt tbe
early closing hour policy? Would it not be
a sensible thing for Smithfield to follow

SPRING STYL ,4NGER0US.
In addition to the extremely high prlef J
of the spring styles and their sometime
(jastionablo propriety, they are dangerous
tn other ways if one may jue from U
following dispatch from Lawrence, Kan-
sas;
"That even a safety razor is not safe
in the hands of a woman, especially if the
woman be a K. U. co-ed, was brought out
in a meeting of the University of Kansas
health committee last, week. Sprtng
styles call for open work and extremely
thin hosiery. One university practitioner
stated in the meeting that hirsute adorn
ment around the ankles does not go well
with the prevailing styles and that univer
sity women were shaving it off. A
second physician explained that the doc
tor had obtained his information by foe
ug called to dress a wound nflicted by a
pretty co ed who thought that the Hafety
razor was all that tbe name implied."

PROPERTY
"Of what use to preach property rights to these
who have no property"
The World's Work.
ALMOST every great fallacy is
founded on truth.
The socialists tell us the world
would be a finer, happier, place
to live in if every man owned a
share of it
And in .that they are right.
But
We believe that Socialism to
day as a system of government is,
before the world, a failure.
Large opportunity is worth
more than a 'little property.
IX this country ownership of
opportunity belongs to every
man, and never was there freer
field .or greater opportunity pin
America than today.
WE hold that the broader,
' sound distribution of ownership
will come with the broader edu
cation of the whole people in the
investment of ineome.
THE great payrolls of ,the na
tion do the wage earner small
service if at the year's end he
owns no more than at its begin
ning. The wur lias taught us vast
production. There is iiiore to di
vide than ever there was before.
