Charlotte—Local Elks lodge to award contract for construction of $300,000 home. Wilmington —Tidewater Power company to start work on . $000,000 extension program. A School in a Mill Town. Houston Post. Gastonia, N. C.( is bililding a $500' 000 high school building. It will have a gymnasium, a library, a stadium, a swimming pool, a great auditorium with a $17,000 pipe organ, and other facilities to be found in the most mod ern of American school buildings. There would be nothing remarkable about a school building of this sort in a town of the size of Gastonia were it not for the fact that Gastonia is a mill center. Its chief claim to fam» is that more than 100 cotton mills are in operation there. The mill industry is the life of the town. According to the professional howl ers about child labor in the south, Gastonia should have no need for a school house. The erection of such a building is proof enough of the exag geration of the evil of child labor in the south’s industrial districts. Moreover, it reveals how education is progressing along with industry in western North Carolina. With one prosperity that comes from the suc cessful operation and the great growth of cotton manufacturing, th« children of the workeres are being given correspondingly greater educa tional advantages. Gaston Mills Are Likely* To Reduce Unexpected Improvement in Yarn Market Only Thing to Stop Curtailment Contrary to rumors abroad over the : state that a program of full time op erations for Gaston county cotton mills is planned or the immediate fu ture, the truth is that curtailment will | take place unless there is rapid and | unexpected improvement in the yarn market within the next 30 days. This is the consensus of opinion as gained by the correspondent from in terviews with executives representing 150,000 spindles here. Most of the mills were closed all last week for the Christmas holidays. They resumed operations Monday of this week. Some of them, however, are running only in daylight. Heads of two of the largest chains of mills in the county freely predict future curtailment judging from pres ent prospects. They say tha^ the next six weeks or two months, especially the inventory and stock taking time, hold no hope for better markets. The latter part of the year may be good for yarns but certainly the outlook for the first three or four months is gloomy. Just the reason the textile products cannot be sold remains a mystery to many. The goods are being made from cotton that is mneh higher than 'ast year’s, yet they are being offered at prices lower than last year. But this does not change jhe fact that i they ere not beTng purchased. The mills are able to operate for a certain length of time without disposing of their stock of goods, but there u a [ limit, and many of the mills in this section arc said to have reached that I limit. Their warehouses are filled and they cannot afford to make ad | ditional goods to be stored in the ; warehouses. DYING WOMAN GOES TO THAT GLORY HOME Rutherford Sun: Airs.
