Miss Martel asserted the boh .should be done away with as js destroying feminine beauty.

Presbyterian Last Year Added 100 The services Sunday at the Pres byterian church were of more than ordinary interest because they marked the first anniversary I of the pastorate of Rev. H. N. Me Diarmid. On the first of Septem ber last year Mr. McDinrmid came ns pastor of the local church, and since that time has exercised a most aggressive ministry. The membership was readily and effi ciently organized and the eongrega- I tioi at once responded to its pas tor's leadership with loyaltv and devotion. God immediately blessed their cooperative effort and new life was manifest in the work of the congregation. Contributions and membership grew to a surpris ing degree. To all causes the church contributed last year more than $15,000, and almost one bun- ! deed new members were added to | the ehureh roll, thus showing the most marked growth in the his torv of the local church. For these j evidences of God’s grace the ni\s tov pr>d npopl” are piost grateful and are beginning another year to gether with a determination to mako. it even more succesful.

Competition in Words One who gefes‘iht6 the market to buy a motor car today ip,ptyurally confused. He has read the words best and greatest so often that they have ceased to be convincing. Where mff Is beet, he reflects, there can be no best. Thousand-dollar cars have been described to him in ten-thousand dollar language. And vice versa. He finds himself the target in a war of adjec tives; the helpless victim in a gigantic competi tion of words. * And ao he is forced to rely on chance—the advice of friends—or his own limited experience. Dodge Brothers, Inc., have never participated in this verbal competition. They are content with the position they have Iwf maintained in the far mere vital competition of honest value. They have continued steadily to improve their product, not only in ccmfcrt and beauty, but basically—beneath the body and hood where fundamental values lie. Vet they have not unduly stressed each bcttcr mcot that has marked the steady prccrcss cf their motor car toward a higher perfection. And when economic conditions or greater sales hgve permitted them to reduce prices without reducing quality, they have announced the fact urithoutxsceesive emphasis. Vnaxaggerated truth is not spectacular. But in rise long run, implicit public confidence has Jwfea Dodge Brothers reward, and this they • propose to preserve forever by continuing * ;*« just a little better than they tell.

In ‘‘They Never Knew" JLYIPSON WEED marries PEARL HANOI,E. The two live in Omeomv, Ohio, so nat urally they go away on their honeymoon, unrhapcroned. It’s JIMP’S first honeym ion. It’s Pearl’s first honeymoon. So, it's their first honeymoon . Pearl's father objects to the match. There are two other people in the story in addition to numer ous innocent bystanders. Ones DE TECTIVE GUMSHOE. The others] MRS. DETECTIVE GUMSHOE. Go ahead and read the dang thing. You’ll soon get the hang of it. NO GO AHEAD I napter AVI A harried review of the conclu sion of the last chapter may not be amiss. If it, is—that’s all rifrht. It’s only a miss. Jimp and Pearl were en route to Chicago via train. They were in their stateroom. Being peaceful citizens, they were astounded to discover the porter was Detective; Gumshoe in disguise. Also, they were overwhelmed with fear upon learning that the : maid was rone other than Mrs. Detective Gumshoe in disguise. ( And, they were startled out of their senses when Jimp discovered the engineer was Pearl’s father in disguise. Just as the chapter ended, some one was trying to break down the door to their stateroom. Jimp was threatening to have them arrest ed. * *. * t Grabbing the sheets off the berth, Jimn fashioned a rope out of them while Pearl. his darling wife, hurled a suitcase through the window. The sheets were short because Pullman covers are designed by some guy who sleeps with his j knees under his chin. But they made sufficient rope to reach the ground outside the speeding car. Hasten, called Jimp. The door to the stateroom was giving way under the onslaughts of the at tacking party. Just ns the door crashed in Jimp and Pearl leaped through the Pullman window and dangled help lessly above the ground which ' sped past underneath at a tre mendous rate. They could hear voices in their . stateroom. “Where did they go?’ ! asked someone, evidently Pearl’s i father. “We got away,” called Jimp through the window. The voices howled with rage.. “They got away,” cried Mrs. Gum shoe. the old she-devil. “Yes. they got away,” sobbed Pearls father, ‘the dirty bum. “I heard my son-in-law ‘ sav they did.” Detective Gum, however, was not no easily outw'ttcd. He dashed to the window and looked out. There he saw Jimp and Pearl hanging by their improvised rope. “Come quickly if you want to shoot Jimp,” cried the detective, greatly excited. Handle rushed to the window. He placed his pistol against the top of Jimp’s head. Closing his eyes , he pulled the trigger. But the dirty hum was too late.. A fraction of a second before he fired one of these eortrapGon de signer! to catch bags of mail from speeding trains grubbed our Jimp and our Pearl. Their baggage remained on the • rain. Peail was in Her nightie. But it was bedtime. So she felt comfortable. The irain flew around a curve, leaving the happy young couple dangling from the mail bag snatch er. They climbed down. Tbev were in r.omn city, name unknown. Down the street they went in search of a hotel. Luckily, Jimp had his two million dollars safely tU'-kee! away in a hip pocket. Tl'.c way lxl past dark alleys and unlighted doorways. “I’m afraid,” whispered the trembling Pearl, clinging to our Jimp’s strong arm. And well she might hnve been afraid. A man with a pistol in either haitd and a mask over his eyes stood before them. Your money or your life,” growled the sinister figure. ‘•Oh.” giggled Jimp. This must be Chicago.’ “Your money or your life,’ re peated the bandit. “It is Chicago,” snickered Jimp. I know it is Chicago. Placing his pistol over Jimp’s heart, the man fired. Jimp merely laughed at him. The guy fired again. Jimp laughed again. The rough robber fainted. Pearl went through the fellow’s pockety and found a million dollars. Likq the dutiful wife she was. she gave Jimp the million. “Well,” laughed Jimp as they sauntered down the street toward the business section of Chicago, “that makes three million I got.” “But why didn’t the bullets hurt you?’ asked his lovely bride. “I knew they could'nt,” giggled Jimp. “Remember when you were working in the kitchen at the hotel in Cave City?” “Yes,” said the curious girl. “Yes, I remember. “Remember yhju made some bis cuits?” “Yes,” blushed the lovely maid. “Yes, I remember I made some biscuits there.’ Thrusting his hand inside his coat, Jimp brought forth a round object. He held it up to a street lamp. It was a biscuit. “I carried one of your biscuits over my hourt,’ snid Jimp. Ami they stopped the fellow’s bullet?” asked Pearl. “Yes,’ said Jimp. “Thp biscuit stopped both his' bullets..’ ' The clerk blinked tis Jimp and Pearl walked into the hotel. “I see you are blinking, my good man.” said Jimp. "I suppose you are doing so because my wife is in her nightie.”' The clerk laughed, and laughed, and laughed. “1 hadn’t noticed her,* said he. “You hadn’t?” answered the in credulous Jimp. He was all ready to explain they were victims of a train wreck. ‘‘No,’ said the clerk. “But now that you mentioned it, she really is in her nightie, isn’t she?” And saying which, the clerk yawned. Jimp had forgotten he was in Chicago. * * * The voung couple’s first itight in the Chicago hotel was a hectic one. Tired out, they hopped into bed at onee. But there was no sleep. Time after time they were awak ened just as they dozed off by somei one knocking at their door. “Who’s there?” Jimp would call out. “It’s me,' someone would answer. “I'm the robber. Have you been robbed tonight? The first time it happened Jimp couldn’t understand. Again he had forgotten he was in Chicago., He said to the man at the door,, “Are you a regular robber, or are you the hotel owner? I’m a regular robber, answered the fellow.. I do the best robbing in this district. If you haven’t been robbed, let me in.” Then Jimp remembered he was in Chicago. “I’ve been robbed al ready tonight,” said he. “Please go, away and let me sleep.” After that, when a robber rap ped upon the door. Jimp always answered that he had been robbed satisfactorily. One fellow, however, was so persistent Jimp had to promise to let him do all his robbing so long as he remained in'Chicago. * * ' $ Morning came, as mornings have a habit of doing. Jimp and Pearl rushed for the dining room. “What will y<}U have? asked the waiter. Jimp was startled. Where^iad he heard that voice before ? The waiter only smiled. “I’m your reg ular robber,” said he. Jimp laughed. It was the per sistent cuss of the night before. “Do you rob during the day as well as at night ?” «>' “Yes,” giggled the waiter. “I have a wife and numerous child ren.” Famished after their eseitement Jimp and Pearl ordered quite a breakfast. Jimp, for one, made a regular hog of himself. He was sorry later that he had done* so. Because they visited the stock yards. Pearl wanted to see them. And Jimp thought they would be beautiful in July. So they went. And Jinn> had made such a hog of himself at breakfast that suspicious glances were cast upon him from the first. “Are you a, spectator," or a client? asked the man at the gate.. “I’m a spectator,* said Jimp. So they entered. But many were the curious looks which were bestowed upon him. Finally, in the regular order of events they came to where hogs were being killed. A huge roughneck grabbed Jimp and started him for the slaughter house. Pearl screamed just as the chapter ended.

Daniels deals out judgments in his court and at the risk of being hailed befure the jurist for contempt has the follow ing to say of his judgments passed out at the recent term of Person superior court: “We dislike to criticise our courts for two reasons: First: our judges are such likeable men, so honest and such big hearted fel lows, and second: we never know just where the line is and are al ways afraid we may overstep the mark and find ourselves in con tempt of court. However, we can not let the record made here by Judge Daniels last week pass un noticed. “On the State docket there were 29 convictions, for the following offenses: Resisting officers, 1; speeding 1; lareency, 4; driving automobile while drunk, 2; arid just ordinary liquor cases, 17. The offender for resisting officers was given a fine of $25 and costs; one of the parties in the case of assault and battery who used a deadly weapon was given six months on the Durham county ryads; one of the liquor cases— a r'rgro who had in his possession about, a pint, fine of $25 and costs, and in one of the affrays a fine of $25 and costs, The other 24 cases, 17 plain old liquor cases and two for driving automobile while drunk, four for larcency and one for speeding went of the docket with the notation ‘judgment sus pended upon payment of costs’ Of course in nearly all of the cases they were put under bona to ap pear at the regular terjns of •court for two years and show they had been on good behaviour, etc. “In almost every one of these cases the defendant submitted, for the lawyers soon learned that was the easiest road to take, and we note especially that this was true ,in all of the cases where the in dictment read ‘driving an automo bile while drunk.’ “Now, how much good do you think our last term of court did? .Hid it set an example for any to cause .them to fear the wrath of a jpst judge? ,, “Judge Daniels is an honest, up ,right man, a man we have great respect for, but candidly, we think he H’ja man with a heart too big to sit in judgment upon wrong doers. If those 29 defendants were guilty, and the majority of them said htey were, then they deserv ed punishment, and if they were not guilty, then they should not hpve been taxed with the costs. “We have given you the facts as they are recorded in the minute docket, take the case.” STATE COLLEGE PROFESSOR DROWNS ON FISHING TRIP Durham, Sept. 3.—Adolph Hun nicutt, aged 32, a profesor at the State college, was drowned early today while on a fishing trip in the eastern part of the state, it was learned here tonight.

A Thinks Gardner Speech Helpful Gazette Editor Believe Address of Shelby Man Will Benefit County Gastonia Gazette. If Max Gardner’s speech here Thursday cannot galvanize Gas ton into action, the case is hope less. This county suffered in the pitiless parallel drawn by the Cleveland man. If ever a county needed a shak ing up and got it, this good old county of Gaston got it from Mr Gardner. For years and 'years this paper has been ding-donging j on the very subjects mentioned in the address here yesterday—wore coWs, more poultry, rural electrifi cation, a county agricultural board composed of good farmers from each township, more interest in truck growing, more interest by the business men of the county seat, better markets, etc., etc. Cleveland county has twice as mary cows as Gaston, twice as many liens, ships out butter, eggs, and poultry, produces 300 pounds of lir.t cotton per acre to Gaston’s 209, stores annually 35,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, has 800 farm homes supplied with lights and running water, giving it the name of being the best lighted .county in America. It puts us to shame in Gaston rou..ty. It is no wonder rhat condi tions in Cleveland and Shelby are farbetter than they are in Gaston. No community prospers when the farming element is backward. The farm and its prosperity constitute the back bone of all nrogress. To quote Mr. Gardner: “Nothing has approached the social contentment that has followed in the wake of electricity in |-ural Cleveland coun ty.” This paper would most urgently beseech the civic leaders of the city and county to get behind Mr. Gardner's proposed program. Mr. Gardner’s Speech Gastonia Gazette. The Gazette would most earn estly commend to its readers the message of O. Max Gardner to Gaston county delivered today at the farmers’ picnic. He is preach ing sound doctrine to us. Gaston folks and we ought to heed it. There are or.ly 6,000 cows in Cleveland and only a little over 3,000 in Gaston. There are 175,000 laying hens in Cdeveland and only 70,00(\ in Gaston. Cleveland coun tv farmers shipped in one week $46,000 worth of poultry to New York markets; there never has been.shipped a foliar’'; vvorth from this county'. Cleveland county pro duces 300 pounds of cotton per acre while Gaston produces only 200. These figures show the superiority of Cleveland over Gas ton. Another thing this paper has advocated is the organization of a county board of agriculture. This has been the inspiration of much of the progress of Cleveland coun ty. Mr. Gardner’s address ought to be the means of stimulating more efforts to better conditions along this line in Qa*ton county. Girl Preferred ivian To Fortune And Didn’t Lose New York, Sept.
