GASTON.
Gastonia Gazette, March s: The eff
fort to get a new county with Kings
Mountain as the county seat ended IN
failure, says the Herald. Essaying to
speak for it's town and section, that
paper says. "This section is tired Of
being patted on the back and called
| good boy as long as 1t submits to the
dictations Of a certain few, but when
It asks to be treated on terms Of equal
ity it is told to go and sit down away
back and wait for more convenient
season." We cordially invite our
friends to move over into Castor, Of
which it appears that Gastonia is to be
the county seat after the 22nd of next
month. "A head end collision be-
tween northbound freight No. 62, IN
charge Of Engineer Cain Lynn and
Conductor Lee Summerrow, and work
train in charge of Messrs. Brawley and
Walton, occurred Wednesday afternoon
on the Carolina and North Western at
the South Fork bridge. six miles north
of Gastonia. The work train was
standing on the south side of the
bridge, which had been lacked up for
the purpose of putting in new cross
ties. The track is down grade for a
mile or two on the south side OF the
bridge and when the air brakes on No.
62 failed to work it was realized that
collision was inevitable, as the work
train could not cross the bridge and
could only stand and await the crash.
Only two persons were injured In the
wreck. Master Mechanic ]. S. Booth,
of Chester, jumped from the freight and
dislocated one Of his shoulders. The
fireman on the freight jumped and In
jured one Of his knees. Their wounds
were dressed at Dallas and both went
to Chester on the southbound passen-
ger, which reached Gastonia about mid
night. The most serious damage was
to engine No. 100, which was pretty
badly torn up. 1t had just recently
been purchased and was making its
first trip. The track was cleared In a
few hours and trains on this road ran
on the regular schedule yesterday.
A sad death occurred yesterday at the
Trenton mill. After an illness Of
eight weeks, Miss Bonnie, the 2O-year-
old daughter Of Mr.. c. T. Evans passed
peacefully away about noon. She was
taken i'll with pneumonia, which proved
more than her delicate lungs could re-
sist and death ensued. She was an
amiable young lady and was held in
high esteem by all who knew her. The
funeral services will be held Saturday,
probably at the home, and will be con-
Quoted by Rev. w. F. Watson, after
which the burial will take place in the
| cemetery. Some Of the family's rela-
tives live in Iredell county and may not
urday. Rev. D. T. Johnson, rector
Of St. Marks Episcopal church here,
came down yesterday from his home at
High Shoals. He leaves next week for
New York. where he goes to take
nine months course in the General
Theological seminary. During his alb
sence his family will reside with Mr.
Johnson's mother in Spartanburg. Rev.
John G. Seagle, who Is now in the Sem
mary at New York, will arrive in June
to have temporary charge Of Mr.. john
sons work. The damage done to
the Avon Cotton mill by the storm Of
last Saturday morning is being rapid
ly repaired. About $50 looms in the
weave room were put in operation yes
terday morning at 9 o'clock and the
spinning room was started up yester-
day afternoon. The roof has been re-
placed and the brick work was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon. AS much
of the damaged machinery as was
capable Of being repaired has been re-
paired and very little now remains to
be done. The management expects to
have the mill running at full capacity
