Kings Mountain Herald, Jan. 20:
Kings Mountain will ask the legis-
lature to pass two bills: one provid-
ing for a recorders court and the other
for an election which would put the
town wholly in one county or the
other. The bill provides that the
people Of the town, inside the cor
porate limits vote as to which county
is preferred. If the bill passes 1t will
mean that the county line will be re-
moved so as to coincide with the city
boundary line and the election will de-
termine which county shall have the
town. The bill for recorders court
provides that Kings Mountain voting
precinct be constituted recorder
district and that the first recorder be
elected at the municipal election In

be elected at the general elections.

Gastonia Gazette, Jan. 20: The re-
ligious census of Gastonia, which is
to be taken on Sunday, February z,
is a matter of real importance to the
city. It is proposed to visit every
home and make a canvass that will
include every man, woman and child
residing in Gastonia, from the Gray
to the Flint mill. It will not only
furnish a religious census, but also
give complete and reliable statistics
as to the population Of the city and
the children of school age. No one
is prepared to speak with authority as
to the number Of people living In
Gastonia. The estimates given vary
by several thousand. When the pro-
posed census is taken February q,
according to the carefully wrought
out plans of Mr.. Barnett and his
committee, this much desired infor-
nation will be reliably and accurate
ly in hand 80. A most distressing
accident occurred Tuesday afternoon,
when the little three-year-old' child

so seriously burned at their home on
East Fourth avenue that death re-
suited Wednesday afternoon. The
little one together with two other
young children Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chill
Dress was in the bed room when the
mother stepped out for a moment.
She had hardly left the room when
an alarm was raised and she rushed
back to find the youngest child's
clothing in flames. The child had
gotten too close to an open CRATE and
it's clothing caught fire. The mother
tore the burning clothing from the
unfortunate little one but it was so
badly burned that death ensued the
