Deeiaion t be Made t Saturday's Elect ion. On Saturday the Battle of Ballots will be on. On th it day the good people of KJn; Mountain, No. 4 Township, Cleveland County, and a certain district of Gaston county will decide whether :heir territory shall be come wholly a part of Glcveland county or of (la-smi county. The Town o! Kings Mountain will remain, jeoj;rapic-. ally, as it has always been. The "trier tactions of tlir t-rri-" tory will remain as they have been, geygmyhicilly.' Therfc ; will ' be no changing and moving of town and forms. An imaginary line dividing the two counties vil'. be ; changed so that eithar one or the other of 'he two count ' i:s will gain considerable territory. By this change Gaston county could secure approxi- 1 mately $6jO,vO J.U ) worth of taxable property; Cleveland county could secure about $-100, 000,0-) worth of taxable property.
