News and Comments About Things In
and Around the Country.
Chester Lantern, November 25: Bud
Neal and Ellen Cameron, both colored,
have been arrested by the police charg-
ed with selling liquor. The case will
be tried before the mayor. Southern
Daniel was committed to Jail by Mag
istrate Castles of Cornwell for stealing
cotton from the field of Mr.. Add NC
Keown at night. Daniel took TWO
sheets of cotton, about 200 pounds
from the field on the night of the 22nd
instant. and for this offense was sent
to iail. Daniel thought, evidently, that
he could make cotton by night, but
found that it didn't pay. The penalty
for stealing cotton from the fields IS
rather severe.

A. Hinson of the eastern portion OF the

per of the Elgine section, were married

Gastonia Gazette, November 20: Mr..
S. n. Craig of South Point township
has purchased a farm in York county,
South Carolina, about two miles from
Tirzah station and expects to move
within the next two weeks to his new
home. CASTOR county loses good cit
izen, York county gains good one.
At the regular meeting of Gastonla
Lodge No. 1873, I. o. o. F., last night the
following officers were elected for the
term which will begin January 1st,
1911: S. S. Morris, n. G.; K. d. McCul-
Tough, V. c.; Charles c. Johnson, Rec.
Sec.; B. H. Craig, Fin. Sec; c. M. NO
len. Treas. In a shooting scrape
which occurred shortly after midnight
last night on the main street of Bel
mont between two negroes, one OF
them was seriously and perhaps NOR
tally wounded. The names of the par
ties to the affray could not be learned
The particulars are not known but it is
supposed the two men had imbibed too
much Thanksgiving liquor" ......A
Gastonia contractor has been asked, SC
il is stated, to bid on the proposed new
Southern railway passenger depot.
This would seem to indicate that the
plans and specifications are made; in
fact it has been generally reported for
the past two months that they were
ready but so far the business men OF
the town are entirely ignorant OF what
the plans and specifications call for.
President Finley promised the COM
mittee that they should see the plans.
Are the people of Gastonia going to let
the Southern start to work to build
depot without our knowing what it's
going to be? We hardly think so....
All the running streams in this section
are very low, due to the fact that no
rain has fallen for many weeks. In
this immediate section it has been con-
siderably more than q month since any
rain has fallen. 1t is reported here that
the Southern Power company, which
has several large ater-power electric
plants on the Catawba river and other
streams in upper South Carolina, is
greatly hampered by reason of this
deficiency in the water supply and as
a result has been compelled to cut off
many cotton mills and other kinds Of
manufacturing plants which they reg
ularly furnish with Juice" So far, 1t
is stated, they have confined this cur
tailment to those plants which have
steam plants and which can manage TO
run without the electric power. Sever
al Gastonia mills use the Southern
power, but fortunately all of them, we
believe, have steam equipment except
perhaps one or two. The mills here are
hence not affected. A number of times
lately the weather man has promised
rain but his promises failed.
