Gartonia Gazette, January 3: On
Saturday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock Miss
Grace E. Strum and Mr. John Franklin
Smith, both of Gastonia, wqfe unitod. in
marriage at the residence of the officiating
minister. Rev. George R. Gillespie,
assistant pastor of ht? First Presbyterian
church Gastonia banking
institutions have mailed out their
acmi-annal dividend checks totalling
$38.000 The report of County Engineer
Struthers to the county board of
commissioners us published elsewhere
in today's Gazette is exhaustive and illuminating.
Tt shows that during the
yeas- 1921 practically 20 miles of hard
surface road has been completed in the
county and that 70 miles of top soil
roads, together with the resurfacing of
old macadam roads, has been completed.
The report shows in detail the
>Vork that has been done in each of the
six townships in the county. It is, however
in the prospect for future road
work in the county tijat tho people are
most concerned. Mr. Struthers' report
giv6s promifie of great things for roads
in 1922 in Gaston county. Among the
ro?(ls to be hard surfaced are the Fnion
road, the Stanley road, the Ne.v > Hope
road and the Linwood College road.
The contract has also been , a warded
for the completidn of the roed from
Bessemer City to the Cleveland county
line. The completion of the road to the
Lincoln county line is also one of the
contemplated projects for 1322. With
the progress that has been nadc in
1921 on road work in Gaston as an
earnest of what is to follow in 1922, the
road officials of Gaston county bid fair
to make.the cojping year epochal in
road building. Within a very short
I time practically every main road in tne
county will .be bard surfaced. North
Carolina roads are a revelation to people
from other sections. We were talking1
the other day to a person from
Fairfield county.. South Carolina. We
mentioned the fact,that every foot of
the road from G&atonia to Charlotte
was hard surface and that the time between
the two cities had been reduced
to 50 minutes. The answering remark
was one of surprise and wonder at "how
we manage to do it all." There is no
disputing the fact that Gaston county
Is rnpldly taking her place among the
foremost counties of North Carolina in
road-building and to'' the far-seeing
vision of the commissioners-k o small
part of the credit la due. They eaw:the
possibilities Of the state's $51,000,000
roads bond program and throu rh their
Initiative an election was held e nd Gaston
county began at once to leap the
benefits from the state funds.

Mrs. Catherine Elliott, white-haired,

i is my self respect."
Mrs. Elliott, 67, was found by Mrs.
Josephine Early on a doorstep near
( her home during a heavy rain. She
was drenched and , shivering. Mrs.
Early took her heme and cared for her.
Yesterday she visited Mrs Elliott's
room and wished her a happy New
Year. She found her lodgtr ill and
provided her with toast and tea. Mrs.
Elliott did not seem to ral y and a
physician was summoned.
Reluctantly Mrs. Elliott admitted
she had been without food since Wed- j
nesday.
"I'lease, doctor, if it isn t against
; the rules, don't tell anybody,' she said.
["All I have left is my self icspect."
Mrs. Elliott told authorities at the
hocpital where she was takc'i that she
was out of work but had Ixen promised
employment. She will recover.

fathers would hold h confetenee with
their sons concerning uncm doyment.
UNDERTAKERS TO PROSPER
Grim Reaper Will Get Harvest of Prohibition
Liquor Drinkers.
Undertakers will have a prosperous
year about 192C, in the opinion of
analytic and consulting chemists in
Cleveland, Ohio, because, they claim,
the Grim Itcapcr is whetting his scythe
for a harvest of prohibition liquor
drinkers.
i Hundreds of persons are. slowly,
| but surely, asphyxiating themselves,
according to J. M. Kovachy, assistant
city chemist, by unsuspectingly assimilating
the poisons found in almost
every sample of what was believed to
be "pure bonded" liquor. Hundreds of
\ samples are brought to Kovachy each
month for analysis, he said.' and all
thus far analyzed have contained a
high percentage of fusel oil in the raw.
In large quantities, consumed by
steady drinking, fusel oil chahges the
blood from oxyhemi-glcbin to methemiglobin,
he insists.
In other words, Kovachy says, fusel
oil removes the oxygen from the blood,
causes the lips and body to turn blue
and has the same effect us asphyxiation.
"Illicit peddlers of whisky use ethlylacetate
for flavoring purposes in some
cases, and this is very injurious if
taken in any quantity, acting as a
heart deprcssent," the chemist declared.
M. E. Curtis, proprietor of the
Chemical Laboratories, advises, the
present day drinker to "analyze well
before using." Traces of adulteration
that clip year after year from a life

have been found in almost every bottic
of alleged "bonded" liquor he has
analyzed, he asserted.
? "It is true a portion of the contents
of most bottles is pure bont" . whisky.
That gives it the color, flavor and
taste," Curtis added. "Bu: the good
liquor is mixed with ingredients that
are harmful to the human system and
the question uppermost in the minds
of these who come to rae for analysis
of their liquo" Is how to remove the
ingredients and leave the bonded
stuff."
That- "bonded" whisky is being
grossly misrepresented by bootleggers
was revealed recently when a raid
of a printing shop in the down town
section by federal and police officials
uncovered a plant which is said to
have been devoted exclusively to the
manufacture of counterfeit labels and
bottled i.n bond revenue stamps.
The labels were similar to those
used by prominent distillers on popular
brands of intoxicating liquors
previous to the becoming effective of
the eighteenth amendment.
Ten thousand alleged counterfeit
rcvenuo stamps were confiscated. Federal
secret sendee operatives declare
that statements made by some of tho
six persons arrested in. connection
with the raid indicate that <50,000 had
been "cleared" during the past year j
through the sales of the labels to boot- j
loggers in Kansas City, New York,
Chicago, Detroit and other cities.
? A gifted public speaker can use a
truly remarkable number of great big
words to express a very small thought.

BLUE RIBBON EDITORIAL
Text of One of the Beet of the Late
Henry Wattereon.
Since the death of Henry Watterson j
there have been mai:y references to !
his "ToHell With the Hapsburgs and
Hohenzt *i> rna." It was printed in the
Louisville Courier-Journal of April 7,
1917, and was awarded the. Pulitzer
prize for the best editorial of the year. 1
It was headed "Vae Victus" (Woe to '
the Vanquished.) Mr. Watterson wrote ,
as follows:
"There are times when feeling must
be sent to the rear; when duty must
toe the line; when the aversion brave
men have for fighting must yield to
the adjuration, "Give me liberty, or
give me death!" That time is now
upon us. I
Unless Patrick Henry was wrong
?unless Washington and the men of
the Revolution were wrong, that time
i3 upon us. It is a lie to pretend that
the world is better than it was; that
men are truer; wiser; that war is escapobler
that peace may be had for
tho planning and the asking. The situation
which without any act of ours
rises before u? is as exigent as that
which rose before the Colonists, in
America when a mad English King,
claiming to rule without accountability,
asserting tho right divine of kiqgs
and sent an army to enforce It. A mad
German Emperor, claiming partnership
with God, again elevates the
' tandard of right divine, and bids the
world to Worship or die.
