ness than originality, "the forces of

it is to say but the truth must be
told and it is an actual fact that the
Gastonia Gazette is getting very
poor support from the press of this
state. The editorials which are suf-
ficiently bloodthirsty for it to quote
with unreserved approval come only
from such papers as the Stanly
Observation-Disclosures in a town
of three or four thousand popula-
ton. The Gastonia editor makes a
effort to fit an editorial
from the Statesville Daily into the
Manville-Jenckes mosaic but actu-
ally this editorial does nothing more
than withhold judgm emit, altho it is
published in an industrial city of
some $4,000 population.

Gastonia Gazette is in open combat.

The number of armed men at the

was just about the same. He con-

north and get work as a carpenter.

and one-company towns, the cost of
living, etc. He agreed and said:
"There amt nothing for the young
people to do here lessen they go to
work in the mills" Wages used to
be higher in the mills, he said, but
they have been getting smaller for
the last three years. "There don't
