seems, from our point of view, that
this big still will have to go, but the
board gave the defendants thirty days
more in which to fully present their
side Of the case. .....A correspondent
from Greenville Of the State, of the

The Southern is going to build
a new depot in Greenville. The thirty
year-old board depot in Gaffney looks
mighty bad in the midst Of the magni-
ficent brick buildings going up all
around it. Besides its every arrange

placed by an up-to-date brick build

the state railroad commissioners take
the matter up and see that Gaffney
gets proper consideration in this mat

Gastonia Gazette, November TO-: Air
Line street from the Falls House to the
crossing looked deserted yesterday.
The Columbus Carnival company pull
ed up stakes Saturday night after
making things lively for a week. The
crowds were fairly good though not as
large as was expected. The firemen
received s155 for their part which rep
resents ten per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts of the ten shows. Lunette, the
flying lady," the Ferris wheel and the
fortune tellers probably received the
largest patronage. There was very lit
tically no trouble in keeping the crowds
straight. From here the Carnival goes
to Shelby for a week. 49,. Mr.. H. j..
Allison of Kings Mountain was in the
city on business yesterday. Three
freight cars were smashed up in a
small wreck between Gastonia and
Lowell on the Southern Sunday morn
ing. The cars broke loose and ran
into the front part of the train. They
were derailed and pretty badly torn

Douglass at the Old Mill Thursday
night, Mr.. James Fury, son Of Mrs. L..
c. Eury, and Miss Leno Douglass,
daughter of DR.. Douglass, were united
in marriage, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. J. H. Bradley, pastor
Of West End Methodist church. .....
The Gazette gets into it's new home
about ten days later than the date or
iginally scheduled and is hence some
what behind with it's work. If condi-
tions had been more favorable. 1t was
our desire to give a pink tea and in
vite the brethren of the press to come
over and celebrate the event with us.
AS 1t is. we leave the latch string on
the outside and oil the latch.

A TABLE CoDE.-The father of
large and expensive family had brought
a guest home to dine with him.
The dinner was in progress.
He helped the guest literally to
everything that was on the table, but
before serving the members Of the
family :.he glanced at his wife, who
made slight and almost imperceptible
signal to him, in accordance with some
preconcerted code, and 1t worked in
practice as herein set forth.
Caroline he said to his eldest
daughter, shall help you to some
more of the chicken-n. m. k?'

IF you please"
Though the host had repeated these
letters hurriedly and in a lower tone,
they had not escaped the attention of
the guest. Pardon me, Mr.. Trogson,"
he said, but you have excited my Curl
osity. May 1 ask what a. y. W. and
n. m. X mean?"
Huh" spoke up Johnny, Il thought
everybody knowed that. Them letters
mean all you want and no more in the

SHARKS RAPID VOYAGE.
Said to Have Come From Africa to
Florida In Two Days.


Florida In Two Days.
A government official who recently
returned from visit to Palm Beach,
Fla, tells about seeing huge man
eating shark captured at that place.
1t was one of the biggest sharks ever
caught in Florida waters and was evil
IDENTIFY. sailor Of many years. The
monster measured eighteen feet in
long as an arm and was Of the leop-
ard species, stamping it as one of the
man-eating variety.
The shark was caught by fisher
man. He used large rope for line
and mad a windlass as a reel. At the
end of the line was huge steel hook
and this was baited with a bright tin
can. The shark bit at the bait and was
entrapped. He was landed after the
roughest time the fisherman ever ex-
perienced.
It was the interior Of the fish, how
ever, that excited the greatest inter-
est. When he was cut open whole
porpoise was found in the stomach.
There was also large piece Of partly
digested shark and the head Of an os-
trich. The piece Of shark inside the
monster was out of the back and con-
tained the backbone Of the dead fish.
A careful examination showed that
the backbones were larger than the
backbones Of the larger shark. A
number Of scars on his body showed
that he had been in conflict with an
other shark and the finding Of a piece
of the adversary showed that the con-
flict had ended in the death Of the op-
a JUICY portion Of his adversary.
The presence Of the ostrich head in
the stomach Of the man eater was re-
garded as undoubted proof that he
had made the trip in two or three
days. The head was not digested and
the process had only just begun.
There is only one ostrich farm in
Florida and when that institution was
communicated with the owners said
that they had not losL an ostrich in a
year. The ability Of q shark to pass
fast steamer in one minutes time Is
well-known to travellers and there is
no doubt that the shark had been in
African waters, had captured a stray
ostrich or head of one that had been
killed and then started across the At
lantic reaching Florida waters before
the ostrich had begun to digest

Al ADinal Story For
Little Folks
$s"s*a Why ~$@@
The Animal Schools Failed

wonder how many little boys and
girls know why there are no schools
in animal land?
Well, wherever there are schools
there are school commissioners or a
school board, which has charge Of the
schools and makes the laws to govern
them.
When the animals decided to estab-
lish schools they selected school
board. consisting of Mr.. Elephant, Mr..
Kangaroo and Mr.. Monkey, and these
fellows held a meeting to agree upon
their plans.
"What shall the animal children be
taught in the animal school? That is
the question:" declared Mr.. Monkey.

THE SCHOOL BOARD HELD MEETING.
Eyes, that is the question" exclaimed
Mr.. Kangaroo and Mr.. Elephant to-
gether..
"They should be taught to climb
trees" said the monkey positively
"All my relatives will serve as teach
ers."
"No, indeedw shouted the other two
in chorus. "That would never do"
"They should be taught to jump!'
cried the kangaroo with emphasis. "All
my relatives will be glad to teach
them"
"No. indeedw yelled the other two In
unison. "That would never do"
"They should be taught to look
WISE" said the elephant, "and all my
relatives will act as teachers"
"No, indeedw howled the other two
together. "That will never do"
"Well, what will do?" they asked as
they looked at each other in perplex'
ity.
"Teach them to climb" said Mr.
Monkey.
Teach them to jump" said Mr.
Kangaroo.
"Teach them to look wise," said Mr.
Elephant.
And so it was that none Of them
would yield. and when they saw there
was no chance to agree they all be
came angry and decided not to have
any animal schools at all.

animals are just as smart as they
would be with schools run by the ele
plant monkey and kangaroo. What

Put Trust In the Lord.

Last winter when I went south for
my health" said Col. L. S. Brown OF
the Southern railway, who always has
a. good story in stock, II was told they
were going to try a colored man for
stealing a quantity of raw cotton, and
when the hour arrived I went up to
the court house to hear the case. The
prisoner was man about forty years
of age and he had elected to plead his
own case. The prosecution proved that
the bag of cotton was found in the COL
ored mans cabin and the pro- erty was
fully identified as belonging to the
owner of a compress. The prisoner
asked no questions. but said he wanted
to make a statement and rest his case
wild de Lawd.' After while he was
given an opportunity to speak and
said:
"T was gwine by dat compress at

IRISH SHREWDNESS.-She was a
good d-natured. happy-looking Irish wo-
man that walked into a Germantown
store a few days ago and asked the
price of collars that were displayed in
the window. The clerk replied that
they were two for a quarter.
The woman then asked: How
much would that be for one?"
Thirteen cents answered the clerk,
quickly.
The old woman pondered and then,
with her finger, figured on the sleeve
Of her coat a little longer. After her
effort she demanded:
