GASTON.
Gastonia News, April 16. George
Hendrix, a white boy, from High
Shoals, was placed in Jail Saturday. A
few days ago he bargained for suit
Of clothes from Robinson, his room
mate; but didn't pay for them. During
the night he got up, put on the suit
he had bargained for and skipped.
He left his old suit. Deputy Collec-
tors c. F. Blalock and D. A. Kanipe
captured a good distillery outfit six
miles west of Lincolnton Thursday.
They found no one about the distil-
lery. A man who was on to the racket
secreted himself behind a log, and a
little later, a man by the name of
Avery, who was supposed to be the
owner, came up with gun and dog.
He saw the wreck, looked around and
said, Hoo, hoo! They're spoilt," and
turned away. Andrew Greggs, a
white man, whose term Of six months
on the chaingang, for slander, ended
Saturday, was rearrested at the expir-
alton of his term on a charge of per-
jury, and carried back to Lincolnton
by Night Guard J. D. Derr. Lincoln
county wanted him last week while
court was in session; but his time was
not out. ..... Miss Luna Rankin, whose
marriage to Mr.. ]. T. Harrison was
noted last issue, is a sister Of our clev-
er insurance man here, w. T. Rankin.
She is a daughter Of the late, William
Rankin. The groom is a son Of the
late John Harrison. The recent
statute passed by the legislature leaves
the towns in CASTOR county in doubt as
to the time and length Of term for
which town officers are to be elected.
1t seems that the act makes changes
in both county and town elections, and
then makes exceptions, and it isn't
clear whether the exception applies to
county or town elections. G. E. Whit
ney, Esq, went to Dallas Saturday to
see Representative Mason to enquire
Of him whether he knew what the
statute meant. Mr. Mason said he did
not. Whether we elect officers for one
year as before or whether we come un-
der the last statute and elect officers
on the first Tuesday in May for two
years, is not clear.
