Gastonia Gazette, Feb. 4: At the
regular meeting Of the board OF di-
rectors Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
Thursday afternoon the standing
committees for 1921 were appointed.
Meetings Of all these committees Will
be held next week. On recommcnda-
ton of the executive secretary it was
decided that a civic calendar be pre-
pared and kept available in the office
Of the secreatry in order that conflict
ing dates might be avoided. All Or
ganizations in the city, social, reli-
gious, civic and otherwise, are re-
uuested to notify the chamber Of dates
Of meetings and gatherings, so that
they might be posted. 1t was an
nounced by Secretary Allen that work
on the new quarters was proceeding
rapidly and that they would soon be
ready for occupancy. The following
were present: President y. G. Myers,
Vice Presidents S. A. Robinson and j.
O. White, Treasurer S. n. Boycc. and
Directors Chas. Ford, w. e. Hayes,

clan nor the son of a politician" said
Mr. f. G.. McLurd, secretary and
treasurer of the GaStonia Mutual
Building and Loan association, dis
cussing the recently published facts
and figures regarding county salar-
les, increases and the like. And rtn
a Democrat as long rs l can be one
consistently" he added significantly
But" he continued, 81 am opposed
to the cxtravagant use that is being
made Of the taxpayers money in this
county. The farmers of this county
arc strictly up against it and they VIII
not stand for an increase in taxes and
the high salaries that arc being paid
or contemplated. Furthermore, [ think
that the sheriff Of the county ought
to do what his office stands for-la"
He ought to serve in
the county as the chief of police does
for the city. The business of collect
ing taxes ought to be divorced from
his office, and a tax collector for the
entire county be appointed to serve
on q salary. The people ought TO
know what public officials arc being
paid. When you pay them fees Or
commissions. you never know.......rhe

Priscilla Spinning company was held
