WITHIN THE TOWN

- The fire department was called out
last night about 10 o'clock because of
an alarm supposed to have originated
at the Neely Mill. 1t turned out how
ever, that the alarm was a false one.
ALL the stores are full stocked with
desirable goods for the holiday trade
and it Is we'll worth the while of all in
terested to take a look before the
stocks have been too generally picked
over.
The Gastonia and Yorkville bas-
ketball teams played a match game on
the Yorkville grounds last Friday af-
ternoon in the presence of a large and
interested audience. The game was
won by the Gastonia team, 16 to 9.
The street committee has just CIV
en- the macadam paving on North Con-
gress street between Liberty and Mad

much to the comfort of pedestrians
who have heretofore had to cross In

There were full houses at the Star
theatre last Friday and Saturday night
to see Nat c.. Goodwin, as "Fagan" in
what was really a fine reproduction of
Dickens's "Oliver Twist" There were
five reels of the play and although 1t
was thoroughly appreciated by those
who have read the famous novel, 1t
seemed hardly less enjoyable to many
others who thus got their first .concep-
ton Of the sad stirring story.
The annual bazaar Of the Ladies'
Aid Society Of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church, whicn was held
in the Rose hotel building last Friday,
was a notable event, as such things
go, not only as to variety and extent
of commodities offered; but from the
standpoint Of patronage and the
amount Of receipts, which were close
up about the record, 1t was an all
around success. The bazaar was In
the nature of a general store at which
was offered various articles, contribut-
ed by church members and others, in
cluding butter chickens, hams, pota-
toes turnips, and almost everything in
the way Of country produce, bread,
pickles jellies, preserves, cookies Of all
kinds and things generally that the
ladies could make at home, fancy
needlework and so on. A regular
lunch was served through the noon
hour and as long as diners continued
to come and oysters were served in the
evening in various styles to order. The
service generally was thorough going
and business-like, and the gross re-
ceipts Of the day amounted to about
$155.

an effort to save himself and was
caught. AS the outcome Of the affair
his transportation interests passed into
the hands Of the enemy and after ne
was sent to prison the competitive sys-
tenn he had built up was removed. Now
in a suit brought in the name Of his
sister, Morse is charging the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road company with having violated
the Sherman antitrust law as the re-
suit of an alleged conspiracy by which
it wrested control of the Metropolis
company from Morse for the purpose
of wrecking the same. The bill goes
on to set forth how the ships of the
Metropolitan company were taken out
of competition with the New York
New Haven and Hartford company
and sent to the Pacific coast. There is
no reason to doubt that Morse is be-
hind the suit that Is being brought In
the name of his sister and 1t Is COM
monty believed that it is his purpose
to try to convict the owners Of the Of
Tending railroad company under the
criminal provisions of the Sherman
law and to bring an action to compel
them to restore to him damages three
times the amount of the losses he ac-
tually sustained. Congressman Martin
w. Littleton is one of Morse's counsel.
The court is asked, in short, to break
up the New Haven roads transporta-
tion monopoly, by rehabiltating the
Metropolitan Steamship company as
as independent concern, and by COM
pelling the return to competition Of the
big steamers Yale and Harvard, which
are now carrying passengers between
San Francisco and Los Angeles.

MIsQUoTED, SAYS BLEAsE AGAIN
TiIlman and Smith Comment on Gov
ernor's Remarks.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Washington, December 7.-Governor
Cole L. ,Blease, when seen at the Will
lard Hotel this afternoon as he was re-
turning from lunch at the White
House, said that he was rushed to
catch his train back to South Carolina
and had no time to discuss in detail
his reported remarks at the governors
conference at Richmond. He said that
he had been misquoted, as was nearly
always the case, but that the record
would be made correctly in the course
of time and that on it he was prepared
to go before his people for their appro-
val.
He declared that he had made GER
tain statements on which he would
stand. He said that he had not read
the interviews with him since his ar
rival In Washington and could not say
whether they were correct or not.
Substance of Interviews.
These interviews represent him as
saying that he would never call out
troops to prevent the lynching of ne
gro brutes for attacking white women
and that he would be candidate for
the next senatorial vacancy, whenever
it should occur, and expected to be
successful.
The remarks of Governor Blease, as
reported from Richmond and repeated
in Washington in somewhat altered
form, have been a leading subject of
conversation here today, and have
been generally condemned. A rumor
has been in circulation that the gov
ernors' congress would not invite Gov
ernor Blease to participate in its de-
liberations at the next meeting, but
would invite the lieutenant governor
instead. Governor Hadley, of Missouri,
and other governors who were seen
and asked about this, said that they
had heard nothing of it, and Governor
Hadley said with emphasis that he was
not interested in the subject.
Senator Smiths Comment.
Senator E. D. Smith, of South Caro-
lima, when asked for an expression of
opinion on the governors reported re-
marks as to lynching, said, with en-
phasis on the word Legitimate:
I'm view of the fact that majority
of the people Of South Carolina have
chosen Governor Blease as chief ex-
ecutive of the state, his views on pub
lie questions must necessarily be TAX
en- by the public as the views of those
who elected him. until repudiated by
them. Further than this I do not care
to make any statement"
Asked about the reported assertion
of the governor that he would be a
candidate for the senate at the first
opportunity, and expected to get there
Senator Smith said:
II shall use every legitimate means
to retain my seat on my record as a
Democrat, as evidenced by my speeches
and votes in the senate and the work
that I have done in, carrying out the
main issue upon which l came to the
senate. the right of the producers of
this country. particularly the cotton
growers, to have every legitimate share
of the wealth that they produce"
From Senator Tillman.
Senator Tillman, when Governor
Blease's reported statements were call
ed to his attention said:
Il am sorry to see that the governor
of South Carolina has come into the
limelight again, for it will do the state
no good" K. Foster Murray.

an hour too late to permit Of its re-

The version given out by the governor
which is the version taken down Off

ferent from that on which many news

The peace negotiations between

The peace negotiations between
Turkey and the Balkan powers are to
be commenced in London next Friday;
but as to whether Greece is to partici-
pate does not yet fully appear. The at
titude Of Greece is more or less of a
mystery. One view is, that Greece is
not satisfied with what has been done
so far and another is, that Greece is
holding out to prevent Turkey from
getting any undue advantages while
the negotiations are In progress. Aus
tria is still showing signs of dissatis-
faction that threaten war and there is
no telling what may happen within the
next few weeks.

AS was generally expected, Chas. w.
Morse, who was pardoned from the
Federal prison in Atlanta ten months
ago, has opened his batteries on his
former enemies who succeeded in put
ting him down financially and landing
him in prison. Morse had formerly
loomed up as a strong factor in the
coastwise transportation business and
was fast putting it over the Morgan
lines. The panic of 1907 came. was
brought on, many claim for the pur-
pose of catching Morse. Anyhow Morse
was squeezed so badly that he resorted
to a violation of the banking laws in

WIN. D. Crum, colored, United

Charleston last Saturday from African
fever, contracted at Monrovia. Crum's
appointment as collector of the port

test. President Taft deposed the ne,
gro after he had served two terms as
collector. In an address at Monrovia
some time ago, Crum nearly caused
international complications through in

The development of an adequate sys-
tenn Of rural loans in the United States
is a matter of tremendous Importance
not only to the farmers but to the
whole country. OF course, as Presi-
dent Taft told the governors last Sat-
urday, the system cannot be perfected
and put in operation overnight; bu,
since several European countries have
made tremendous progress in this line
there is no good reason why the United
States cannot do as much.
