Gastonia Gazette, Oct. %: Perhaps
the case around which there centered
more interest than any other at the
present term of CASTOR superior court
for the trial Of criminal cases, was
that Of the State VS.. T. E. Leroy charg-
ed on several counts with violating the
state law prohibiting the practice of
medicine without license. These cases
were appeals from the municipal court
in which he had been convicted Of this
offense. After the completion Of the
taking Of testimony Wednesday the
judge intimated that he would charge
the jury that Leroy was guilty under
the evidence and his attorneys, Messrs.
Mangum & Woltz, and F. I. Osborne,
entered plea Of guilty and the case
was not given to the jury. Judgment
was suspended upon payment Of the
cost which amounted to 1862 and Le-
roy was recognized for his appearan ,e
at the next term Of court to show that
he had not further violated the law. 80.
According to the figures just given out
by the department of commerce, there
were 1904 bales Of cotton ginned in
CASTOR county from the 1915 crop prior
to October 1s. as compared with 2.673
bales ginned prior to the same date
in 1914. The 102nd annual meet
ing Of the synod Of North Carolina Of
the Presbyterian church, which has
been in session here since Tuesday
morning, will adjourn this afternoon
and the majority Of the delegates will
leave for their homes on afternoon and
night trains 1t has been expected, up
to this morning, that adjournment
could be taken at noon today but a
large amount Of unfinished business
which faced the body upon convening
this morning made 1t necessary to pro-
vide for an afternoon session. In many
respects this has been one Of the best
sessions Of the synod has ever held.
The attendance was larger than usual,
there being $50 delegates in attend
ance. ... .Gastonia's long cherished
dream Of genuine white way is at last
to be realized, the city council at an
adjourned meeting Tuesday night hav-
ing appropriated for this purpose the
sum Of $4,000. Contracts for the lights
have already been let by the commit
tee in conjunction with the Supt. Of
Water and Lights H. Rutter, and 1t is
expected that within a few weeks ac-
tual work on the installation Of the
system will be commenced. Contracts
so far signed call for So poles to be sur
mounted by one large 600-candle power
incandescent light instead Of the
cluster Of smaller lights, the kind used
in many places. The large single
light is guaranteed to give as much or
more light than the cluster, Is less ex-
pensive and more attractive. On Main
avenue the poles will be placed 120
feet apart but not opposite each 9TH
er, those on one side being half way
between those on the other side so there
will be light every go feet. Lights
will also be placed on South and Mari
eta streets, Airline and probably on
Franklin avenue,
Rock Hill Herald, Oct. 20: Molasses
makers are quite busy now and
thousands of gallons Of syrup have
been made in the county this year and
the indications are that "F1apjack and
pancake and good molasses too" will
soon be on the bill Of fare at a majori-
ty Of the homes throughout the county.
And dandy morsel the two will make.
A party visited the farm Of ]. M. Tay-
lor near Newport, Thursday night and
witnessed the work Of converting the
er of the outfit, Mr.. Plyler, stated that
he had made sixty gallons Of syrup
Thursday. His total for the season Is
around fifteen hundred gallons. A
number of ladies were in the party
and when one Of them inadvertently
remarked that she had always wanted
to see stalk Of molasses,' roars OF
laughter followed. The process Is
highly interesting to the uninitiated
and the odor that rises from the steam
ing vats makes one long for plate OF
syrup and some hot biscuits. Lucy
Cockerell, a we'll known negro seams
tress of the city, had her leg broken
last night when a section Of the mo-
tordom at the fair grounds collapsed
Quite a number were on the top wait
ing for the performance when the
section caved in, hurting many to the
ground. A number were injured, but
with the exception Of the Cockerell
woman, none were seriously hurt. .....
Through the cooperation Of the school
board and the Rock Hill Gas Co., de-
partment Of domestic science will be
established for the colored people Of
Rock Hill. This will be part Of the
public school work and will be under
the supervision Of the city superin-
tendent. A record Of the work done
will be kept and certificates given to
those who complete the course.
