GASTON.

Gastonia Gazette, February IL: Main
street in the business section of town
presented a scene of wreckage this
morning. Telephone and light poles were
strewn across it at frequent intervals
and it was criss- crossed with perfect
network of wires, rendering passage
along the street in many places lmpos-
sibe except to pedestrians. The big
pole at the corner Of Main and Marietta
streets, which holds all the wires going
| into the offices of the Piedmont Tele-
phone and Telegraph company was
broken just below the wires and hung
suspended over the sidewalks. Every
phone wire was down and no connec-
ton can be had with any points either
in town or out. Manager Darlington
had force of hands out early and work
is being pushed but 1t will probably be
several days before communication can
be restored The light system also sur
fered though not so heavily as the
phone system. The lights went out at
some hour last night and are still out
The power lines are also down. The
CASTOR Iron works. Yeagers and other
establishments in town dependent on
the Spencer Mountain plant for power
are unable TO turn a wheel today. The
Gazette is gotten out under difficulties
as it is dependent on the same source
for power to run its linotype machine

| ly by hand and run off the press by
hand which accounts for the small
amount of reading matter. This is the
worst sleet and ice storm the town has
experienced for a long time and the
damage done is heavy. Perhaps the
most sensational episode GastOnia has
had in Il long time came to light Satur-
day morning when warrant was is
sued for Mrs. L. II. Strickland, charg-
ing her with Kidnapping little Lucille
Glenn. daughter of Mr.. Perry Glenn,
Friday afternoon. This warrant, how
ever. was changed to simple assault.
| No arrests were made and the case was
finally compromised Saturday night
when Mrs. Strickland turned the child
over to Sheriff r. T.. ShufOrd after
having kept it at her home for about
twenty four hours Sheriff ShufOrd
turned the child over to its father Mr..
Perry Glenn. 1t is learned, from a re-
liable source that habeas corpus pro-
ceedingS. which were instituted some
time ago by Mrs. l.. \. States for pos
session of the child half Of the time,
will be pushed and 4 hearing probably
| had at an early date. Back of the bare
facts as presented above there is the
story of Il mothers love and a longing
to see her child from which she had
been separated for nearly year. About
a year ago Mr. Perry Glenn was grant
ed Il divorce in Mecklenburg superior
court, from his wife, who is now Mrs.
Bate Young, having since married Il
Mr.. Young Of Charlotte. The decree Of
divorce did not make any disposition
of the child little Lucille Glenn, aged
iabOut y years. 1t is understood. how
ever that Mr.. Glenn entered into a
written agreement with Mrs. l.. a.
States of GastOnia. sister of Mrs. Young
by the terms of which Mrs. States was
TO have possession of the child half Of
the time and Mr.. Glenn half. The
father. however, it is said, has not kept

1t Is a Terror.

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
company is a terror to the agents Of
all other companies when it comes to a
show down. They know that it can and
does guarantee policy holders more
than any other company for their
money. and they know that it can and
will do all that it guarantees. They
know that it can do it because it has
always been economically and conser-
vatiVely managed and is now, and they
know that ii has always treated all its
policy holders right solely because it
was right that it should. They know
that the man who wants life insurance
will insure in the Mutual Benefit nine
teen times out Of twenty if they take
the trouble to look before they leap.
will be pleased to show you wherein it
is superior to all others if you will let
me. 1t is for our mutual benefit that
you should ask to be shown.

Lots In Westerleigh

Westerleigh is the most desirably
located suburb Of Yorkville, and Is
close to the business centre OF the
town.
1t is the only place within the cor
porate limits where a negro can buy
suitable building lot at a reasonable
price.
Already some thirty-flve or more
lots have been bought by substantial
negroes.
There are only about fifty more lots
for sale.
The prices are low, very low consid-
ering the value, and the terms are
easily within the means Of any indus
trious laborer.
Negroes who desire to invest in lots
for the purpose Of building homes, or
for the purpose Of getting good profits
within a year or two should see me

where they cannot find shelter In
many of the best counties there is very
little natural shelter left, as every foot
of available ground is under cultiva-
ton. In such localities 1t has been
observed that the quail have nearly all
left. and it seems pretty well settled
that they will never return unless arti-
fetal shelter is provided for them.
Sugar cane. when thickly planted, fur
nishes just what these birds seem to
want. They are very fond of the seed.
and as the season advances the cane
stalks fall down and provide thick
mass in which the quail can hide from
their natural enemies. hawks and owls,
and also affords a nesting place in the
spring and summer.-Kansas City

SHELTER FOR QUAIL.
Missouri Farmers Plan of Growing Su-
aar Cane to Stand During the Winter.

William +. McCullcy of Macon coun-
ty thinks he has solved the problem Of
preserving quail. He owns quite q
large farm and he discovered that
quail were becoming more and more
scarce each year. Then he set about
studying the cause and came to the
conclusion that it was lack of shelter.
Since then he has every spring plant
ed sugar cane along the side of the hol-
lows of his farm and permits the same
to stand during the winter. 1t affords
the quail not only food but shelter of
the kind they like. Other farmers in
Boone. Galloway and several counties
Of the state have adopted Mr.. McCul-
ley's plan, and they think it is just
what was needed.
1t is a fact that quail will not stay

- Orangeburg special of February Is,
to obtaining an idea as to the length of
time required for bale of cotton to be
manufactured after leaving the gin and
also to get a line on the abundant sup
ply. which is claimed by the mills to
exist. Mr. c.. +. Carson of Fort Motto,
in this county. worked a little scheme
which proved quite interesting. Mr..
Carson ginncd bale of cotton at Fort
the same day In the center of the bale
he put a slip Of paper bearing the re-
quest that whoever should open the
bale would kindly date the slip and re-
was heard from in the shape Of n let
ter from a cotton manufacturing firm
in North Germany, &c. Zimmerman
and Weimer, Rheine l Weist." This
letter was dated January l6, and stated
that the bale had been opened that day
and was then being manufactured into
CLOTH Only three months elapsed be-
tween the time the bale was ginned un-
til it was converted into a finished pro-
duct. which would indicate that the
foreign mills at least are not OVerStock-
ed with cotton. nor is it probable that
the mills in this country are. although
this argument is advanced to induce
the farmers to sell their cotton at
smaller figures than conditions war

! For the second time within few
months the G. Ms crack Oriental
/ Limited has been wrecked and totally

passed through here Sunday morning
was the latest to come to grief. The

| The whole train derailed; the en-
CINE practically demolished; all bag

or passengers seriously injured.

which overlook the Great Northern s

est point which the road reaches in
passing through the Rockies, at an
early hour this morning.
The Werck was due to landslide

er of yesterday. The slide eluded
! the vigilance of the company's track
walkers. who are posted at short in
/ tervals through the mountains and
who patrol the line constantly, and
the engine, which, owing to the high
elevation and in accordance with
rules, was travelling at low rate of
! speed, struck the piled-up rock and
soil and jumped the track, dragging
| the whole train with it.
A few minutes later the train was
! a mass of flames and it was only with
! difficulty that the two rear coaches
were saved from the general fate
The passengers were all able to es-
cape before the fire reached them
! and local officials of tn road claim
that none of them was seriously in
jured by the shock consequent upon
the derailing of the train.
At the Office of the general super
intendent, E. l.. Brown, it was stated
this morning that the wrecking
crews are working at the scene of the
accident and that traffic, which has
been completely held up, will be re-
