Lantern, November %: Mr.. and Mrs.
r. M. Whisonant and niece, Miss Bon
ME Plaxco, arrived from Rock Hill
Tuesday evening and have moved In
to two or three rooms of their home on
York street, which Is q part of the
Leard house and is not yet completed.
..... Last night a little after O'Clock
a southbound freight train on the
Southern railroad, pulled by engine No.
ats ran into an open switch a little
above the depot. The engine and ten
der were turned completely over, but
the box cars remained on the track.
The track had been thrown for the Z.
& NV. to come in, as their line
crossed the Southern at this point. The
freight was just in ahead or the
Swing" The C. & NV. narrowly
escaped running into the overturned
engine, but fortunately 1t was fagged
in time. The hands were at once called
out and after working long time sue
ceeded in getting the engine on its feet
about s o'clock this morning and then
the main line was cleared. The trains
were run around on the eastern side
Of the depot over the c. & NV. and
L. &. C. tracks and again came on the
Southern track little way below the
station. In this way, although the
main line was blocked, the trains got
through without losing any time. No
one was hurt and very little damage
was done. The court OF common
pleas has completed it's work for the
fall term, and the third week jurors
were discharged yesterday afternoon.
Business has been expedited, and the
calendar has been very nearly cleared.

terday afternoon returned a bill OF
indictment against the board Of county
commissioners charging them with fall
ure to comply with the recommendation
of the grand jury made at the Septem-
Der term Of court that a new court
house be built 1t is understood that
the case will be called for trial at the
next term Of superior court. The board
is composed of Mr.. A. r. Anders of
Gastonia; DR.. o. G. Falls of Kings
Mountain: Mr.. n. B. Kendrick OF
Cherryville; Mr.. John F. Leeper OF
Belmont, and Mr.. r. K. Davenport of
Mount Holly The Gastonia cores
pondence Of the Charlotte News Of yes
terday afternoon contained the follow
ing item which is entirely false and
absolutely without foundation in fact:
"Gastonia banks have at last followed
the example set by many banks in this
section and they, too, are paying for
cotton with scrip" How such a re-
port gained currency is beyond the
comprehension Of the local bankers as
the Gazette learns, after thoroughly in
vestigating the situation, that the
Gastonia banks have at no time even
considered the proposition Of issuing
scrip either for payment for cotton or
for any other purpose AS told in the
Gazette recently the banks here have
on hand more actual cash than usual
and are in splendid shape to take care
of their business without resorting to
the issuance Of scrip.
