For Marriage Law Change.

Jefferson City.-Reoorder of Deeds
Joy Of ST. Louis appeared before the
Judiciary committee in advocacy of a
bill amending the marriage license
laws. Mr.. Joy told the committee thai
under a strict Interpretation Of the
present law neither a Jewish rabbi nor
a Unitarian minister could legally per-
form the marriage ceremony, as the
law stated that this rite was vested
only in ministers of the Gospel, judges
Of the court of record and justices of
the peace. This excluded the rabbi
and the Unitarian, Mr.. Joy continued,
because the one did not believe in
the New Testament, from which the
Gospel was taken, nor the other in
the Trinity. He wants the law so
changed that it will declare that min
listers officiating in any church of God
may perform the marriage ceremony.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following are the developments in
the speculative market yesterday. as
summarized in an Associated Press
dispatch Of last night from New York:
The cotton market was rather heavy
with prices gradually sagging, and the
close steady at net decline Of 2 to
points.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to an advance OF 6
points on scattered covering and in res
ponse to better cables than expected.
Selling on reports Of rain in Texas was
restricted at first by apprehensions Of
cold, wet weather in central and east
ern sections Of the belt before the end
of the week and reports Of cyclone In
Oklahoma. Many of the local trade,
however, did not consider farming op-
erations in Oklahoma were sufficiently
advanced to have suffered much dam
age from the climatic disturbance,
which seemed to be centred around
Ardmore, and when the official weather
forecasts were published showing a
better outlook than originally expected,
offerings increased and the market
eased off to a net decline Of about 3
to points during the afternoon. A
rally of only 2 or 8 points occurred to-
ward the close on covering.
The weather map for the "a hours
ending this morning was considered
very favorable and the detailed wealth.
er reports from Texas indicated bene-
fetal rains in large part Of the state.
The official forecast was for unsettled
weather in east Texas tonight followed
by fair and colder and for fair weather
in the eastern belt except in scattering
sections where showers or rains are
expected.
Southern spot markets officially re-
ported early were generally unchanged
and very little news reached the market
concerning spot conditions beyond re-
ports from the Atlantic belt Of better
demand for export.
Receipts at the ports today 14,0S9
bales against 1882 last week and H.
1876 last year. For the week 125,O0O
bales against 139,443 last week and 59,-
1853 last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans 5,611 bales against 3,434 last
year. and at Houston 3,41S bales against
1883 last year.

GASTONIA.

The editor Of The Enquirer spent
part Of two days this week in Gastonia,
the first time he has had occasion to
be in the town for so long time since
1t consisted Of less than a dozen scat
tered houses, and although he had no
opportunity to take the place in with
anything like thoroughness, he was
very much impressed with the evil
dences of progress and development
everywhere apparent.
The first houses within the present
limits of Gastonia were such as
chanced to be passed by the line Of
the Charlotte and Atlanta Air Line
railroad, now the Southern, in the ear
ly 70's, and there were no additions un-
til the coming Of the Chester and Le-
noir, now the Carolina and North
Western. a few years later; but since
then. especially during the past fifteen
years the growth Of the town has been
phenomenal. The population is now
conservatively estimated at not less
than 10000 and growth continues.
Like most of the other towns Of this
section, Gastonia owes it's origin to the
small traders and merchants; but it
early went into various kinds Of small
manufactures and was not long in
striking a pace in the cotton mill bus
corporations in the town and altogeth-
er they own thirteen mills within and
just without the corporate limits. These
mills. Of course, have been an import
ant factor in the growth Of Gastonia.
There is an outside impression among
those who do not know, that Gastonia
Is q typical mill town. BY typical mill
town is meant one that consists prin-
cipally Of mills and cottages. That is
q mistake as to Gastonia. There Is
large mill population there, Of course;
but the mills and the mill cottages are
by no means the most striking feature
Of the place. There are ten churches
in the town, two Baptist, two Metho-
dist, two Presbyterian, one Episcopal,
one Lutheran, one Associate Reformed
and one Catholic. Several Of these,
especially the Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist, are handsome and costly
structures that would do credit to much
larger cities. Beautiful and expensive
private residences are scattered all over
the place, and many Of the leading
streets, are literally lined with them.
The yards and gardens show every
evidence of wealth, culture and taste,
and from what he sees Of what has
been done and what is being done, and
of the people who are doing things, one
cannot fail to be impressed with the
fact that the commercial, industrial,
social and religious standards Of the
people are as high as the highest
standards to be found in the Piedmont
Although Gastonia owes much Of her
progress to the cotton manufacturing
industry, there is a noticeable senti-
ment to the effect that the business has
about reached the limit, at least for
the present. The matter is very nicely
