almost dry and it is probable that the
stream will cease to run entirely in 6
short time. The water consumers have
been called on by the city to cease u.s.
ing any water but what Is absolutely
necessary. Don't use any water fol
bath tub, yard or garden. The sup
ply is limited and unless precautions
are taken a water famine will facf the
people. City Engineer Hamilton said

reached. The river being about dry
only leaves what water there Is In the
reservoir to draw on and unless the
people are very economical in using
this it will soon be exhausted and ther
all the water supply will be cut off
The people will have to go to using
wells. A report started that Sandy

was already dry. The situation Is Sc
rious, and the people must economize

asked and urged to cooperate with
the authorities in this emergency fol

will be the outcome.
Gastonia Gazette, June 80: Satur-
day morning, July l, the Gastonia
postoffice will be formally opened for
the receiving of deposits. Mr.. E. b
Osborne of the postoffice department,
at Washington, was in town yesterday
for the purpose of giving the local Of
ficials instructions in the conducting
of this new feature. E. Rapid progress
is being made between Gastonia and
on its electric interurban line. Several
heavy fills are being rapidly construc:-
ed. 1t is expected that, within the next
few weeks, work will be resumed in
side the corporate limits Of the town
800. So interested are Gastonians In
the work and construction Of the Pied
mont & Northern railway, otherwise
known as the Interurban, they are
likely to forget that there is another
system about ready to enter Gastonia
from another direction, connecting II
with the mountain country. In other
words the directors Of the North Car
olina Interurban railroad, formerly
known as the Isothermal Traction
company, are getting right down to
business. Nearly all preliminaries
have been disposed of, most Of the diff
ficulties have been removed, rights OF
way have been secured for the most
part and actual work is about to be-
gin. In fact, one Of the most promi-
nent of the directors of the road, in
conversation with the Gazette man
yesterday, says that the board of di-
rectors will go over the entire pro-
posed route, beginning Monday, July
3rd, at Asheville, and coming direct to
Gastonia. The board Of directors is
composed Of the following we'll known
business men Of the Piedmont section
of the state: Messrs. r. B. Darlington
and E. Lee Wilson of Gastonia; Mr.
M. L. Mauney Of Cherryville; Mr.. ]. T.
Gardner of Shelby; Messrs. John C.
Mills, w. H. Harrell and Geo. L. Mo
Kay Of Ruthcrfordton; Mr.. S. B. Tan
ner of Henrietta Caroleen, and Mr.
Archibald Nichols of Asheville. Mr
Darlington joins the party at Asheville
tomorrow. Then beginning Monday
July 3rd, the party goes by automobile
from Asheville to Bat Cave, from th"ra
to Rutherfordton in hacks and from
that point to Gastonia by auto. The
prospects for a speedy beginning "t
the work are exceedingly bright and
the directors are very much encour-
aged over the outlook. Surveyed as
their line is through large section OF
virgin territory with no transportation
facilities whatever, the road is expect
ed to handle an immense amount OF
traffic, both passenger and freight
The mountain travel over this road
during the summer promises to be one
of the most important factors in its
development. With Gastonia as a con-
venient junction point, tourists in
large numbers from nearby points are
expected to take this route for the
mountains.
