Gastonia Gazette, January 8: A por-
ton of today's Gazette is gotten out
with the help of our new Mergenthaler
linotype which has been installed and
put into operation. But for the fact
that the metal from which the lines are
cast was delayed in reaching Gastonia,
the entire paper would have been
printed from the matter set on the
machine. Tuesdays paper we expect
to be printed entirely from matter set

man at Lucas company's, took shot
at a supposed burglar Monday night,
and for a little while thought he had
his man. Mr. Taylor and Mr.. Lucas
were sitting at the desk working, the
clerks having all gone home for the
night. There was sound as if some
one was trying to raise a window at
the rear. A persistent pecking sound
beat upon the ears of the two inside
who listened intently. They finally de-
cided that someone was really making
an effort to get in. They reconnoitered
little toward the rear, which was
dark and Mr. Taylor thinking he spied
burglar at the window, took shot.
A policeman, who had been notified OF
the intended intrusion, was soon at the
rear of the store, looking for the man.
He found piece Of wood hanging loose
from the bunting sign above the back
door and the gentle breezes were
swinging it back and forth against the
window pane. Another amusing incl
dent occurred in this connection. A
few moments later the policeman spied
man in the rear Of the store, and
held him up at the point Of his pistol,
only to find that he was face to face
with a we'll known local attorney, who
has an office above the store, and who
| had come out to get some kindling for
his fire. The lawyer says he begs to be
excused from getting any more kind
ling in that neighborhood after the sun
goes down.
