To the outside world scarcely anything of interest has passed during the meeting of the grand lodge here, but the 'meeting has proved of much interest to the members and the time was passed profitably. The following officers for the coming two years were elected: Grand Dictator J B Whitaker, Jr., of Winston. Grand Vice-Dictator K R Jones, of Newborn. Grand Assistant Dictator N D Fetzer, of Concord. Grand Chaplain L A Bikle, of Kings -Mountain. Grand Guide W J Newbold, of LaGrange. Grand Reporter P C Carlton, of Statesville. Grand Treasurer S C Scho field, of Davidson. Grand Guardian W H Cars tarphen, of Williamston. Grand Sentinel D F Boyette, of Greensboro. Grand Trustees T F Kluttz, of Salisbury; W J Rountree, of Newbern; U S Hassell, of James ville. Supreme Representatives JT LoGrande and T F Kluttz. Alternates N L Shaw and P C Carlton. The meeting closed this after noon after the installation of the officers. The time and place of the meeting has not been decided and will be left for the grand dictator and the grand reporter. It Disgraces the State. The Greensboro papers state that there are fifteen divorce cases for trial at the approach ing term of the Superior Court of Guilford county. The State exchanges from other counties in North Carolina tell the story of the multiplicity of divorce suits. For some years past almost every Legislature, has let down the bars, adding to the causes for which divorces may be grant ed. All parties have been alike guilty of this blow at the sanctity of the home and' the undermining of faith in the Bible doctrine of divorce. When the General Assembly meets in Raleigh next June, the first work it ought to undertake is to appoint a committee of the ablest lawyers in both bodies to codify the divorce laws of the State and draw bills that would repoal every statute that has en larged the causes ' for which di vorce can be secured. South Carolina is the only State in the Union that has a model divorce law. It has en acted the Bible cause and stead fastly refused to add any other.

Jso. M. Cook, Clerk Superior Oonrt, Oiwru Count THE CONTRACT SI(i.F.l. Cabarrus County to Hare An Iron Bridge Actiikh Kooky River at Black's Mill-To lie Finished By the First of December. For several months it has been a perplexing question to our county commissioners as to the placing of a bridge across Rocky River at Black's mill, at which place the county's large bridge was wrashed away from its pillars last year during the heavy rain fall when so much damage, even here in Concord, was done. The former bridge was too low, judging from the high water mark of the past, and hence extra cost was necessitated in the placing of another one here, in order that the county might not again suffer the same kind of loss. The one which will be placed across the river soon will be eight feet higher than the one heretofore, putting it out of danger during the high water times and besides this bridge can be approached at any time hereafter. The contract was made last Thursday by Chairman Allison, who was given the power for final action in the case. The bridge will be erected by the King Iron Bridge Co. at a con tract of $1,994. This will also include an approach of 128 feot on this side of the bridge. The iron part of the bridge will have two spans and will measure 172.67 feet. There will be one pier under the bridge, and the roadway will be twelve feet wide. Work will be commenced soon and the contract states that it will be finished by the first of December. In regard to the old bridge which has recently been taken out of the river, nothing will be done at present, as the county has now assumod a considerable cost in this line of county needs The smaller parts will be put away for safe keeping and the other will remain there until latter. . THE PEAT? ASUEL COMES. Little JohnEddlt-man Believed of I'uln. After several weeks of de clining health and some days of acute suffering, death, as a mother's soothing hand on the aching brow, gently rolieved little John, the year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Li Ji,Udleman. The end came at 2:30 o'olock p. m. Wednesday at the home of his grandfather, Mr. T C Strieker. Meningitis was the immediate cause, though he ' was in the critical period of teething and was peculiarly unfitted to battle with virulent disease. The funeral rites were con ducted by the pastor, Rev. C B Miller, at the home of Mr. Strieker at 2 o'clock last Thursday and i'Jio remains were consigned to the little tomb homo in the city cemetery to sloop till the morning waking to meet the now heai-tblocding parents where pain and tears will be replaced with the glad realization that this is bost. We mingle our sympathies with hosts of friends for the father, mother and brother of six years and others who weep over the present sadness and bereave ment. (Joed Threshing Uncord. Mr. C M Goodman & Company gives us the following splendid record on wheat and oats thresh ing this soason. Wheat threshed 3,428 bushels; oats 1,587 bushels, making 5,015. This was threshed in 17 days which is an average of a little over 297 bushels per day. Mr. Goodman says he had the satisfaction of doing this work within a radious of two and one-half miles from his homo. He says, too, that the wheat crop was quite satisfactory, turning out better than was at first ex pected. We hope this report will bring us in more, especially if thero is a better one to make. The Courtesy Wag Accepted. After holding their last session Thursday afternoon the members of the grand lodge of Knights of Honor were escorted to the game of baseball. The invitation was extended to them by the Knights of Honor of this place. This was about the only leisuro time the representatives had, as nearly every one was kept busy, either as an officer or on some commit tee. The majority of them left that night for their home. Rorky River the Victors. Concord met a defoat here on Wednesday when the boys from Rocky river came up and beat our second nine. It was a great game and resulted in a score of 4 to 8 against us. Montgomery and Mabrey made up our battery and King and Copo did the work for the Kocky River boya. Jyuke Johnson also went in the box for the visitors. Examination Notice.

A Ncirro Is Released from the Chain Gang and On the Same Piij Meet With An Accident -His Arm Amputated. On Wednesday afternoon Jno. Thompson, a nogro, finished his thirty days sentence on the chain gang for beating the trains. After bidding shackles and stripes adieu he came to the rail road and again started to beat a freight train southward on his way to his home in Port Royal, S. C. In attempting to jump upon a ladder on the side of a car he missed his mark and fell upon the crossties. His left arm ie'.i upon the rail and was run over by the cars. He was wounded too on the head and lower leg. Not thinking that he was so bad ly hurt as he was, the negro come on up town and was here on the streets. Presently some colored people got with him and soon he began to suffer much. He was taken in hand by three of our physicians and an examin ation made of his wounds. It was found that his left arm was badly crushed above the elbow and they at once com menced to amputate it. No one knowing him here, there was some difficulty in finding a place for him to be quartered but arrangements were made with a colored man and he is now nursing his stuK People Not Aware of It. On Wednesday Dick Caldwell and Sam Ury, the porters on the conveyances for Brown Bros, and M. J. Corl wore each fined three dollars for breaking the law at the depot in regard to crossing their line. It is a rul ing, and has been for some time that these porters must not cross a certain line while en deavoring to get passengers but occasionally they disobey their order. Quito often some lady, who has a heavy grip in her hand and not conscious of the law. will call the porter to come and get her grip. The porter would be glad and is anxious to be accommodating but this is against his rule and ho lays him self liable to arrest if he does it. It is evident that numbers are not awaro of this law. After the train has loft the yard then the porters are allowed to go and tend to the baggage chocks. It Was Too Much For All. After the game Thursday afternoon a number of traveling men, Knights of Honor, and others, while going to the train, were offering their praise and criticisms on the game. One told of how Richmond and the Atlantic Leaguers played once, another how Baltimore and Philadelphia played, and others were telling of good plays, when the last man prepared and com pletely subdued the crowd when he told thoin they had missed the only ball playing n record that was when Livingstone col lege and Dixonville played a ht1 game and the score was 87 to 5l Not a man has montionod base ball since in that crowd. Their Appreciation Expressed. Mr. Normal L Shaw, who spent several weeks hero some months ago, and who travels in the interest of the Bibical Re. corder, left Thursday evening for his homo in Virginia after attending the grand lodge moot ing hero. Mr. Shaw now vacates the grand dictator's chair to Editor Whitaker, after holding this office for two years. A unanimous vote of appreciation for his valuable servico during the last two biennial terms was expressed by the lodge to Mr. Shaw. Ho will return here soon. Iter. A K. Poole Head.

''We have met the enemy and they aro" not ours. But Tarboro is now confident of the fact that Concord on Thursday gave .them the closest game they have yet had. Inning after inning they played and no change was made in the score and even not at the ninth inning not until the tenth inning was played. It was a game to be recorded on our baseball records. It was a time when Tarboro three times changed pitchers in her strenu ous effort to lay Concord at her feet, and she did it in the tenth inning with one run. Neither team scored in the first inning, but Mangum was left on his base. Graves had the best of prospects in the second when no one was out when he stood on third, but Caldwell and Fisher fanned out and Lattimer went down at first, leaving him out. Fenner broke the ice by a score but Phillips dropped out at the base and Brake dropped his bat on three strikes. Card followed Fenner's lead by a score in the third. Warren came in and imitated Card, making us 1 to their 2 at the end of the third. Now came the time when Con cord got in her work. Lattimer made a fine steal from first to second when the ball went to third. By a ball passing the catcher Caldwell and Lattimer returned home. Card then sent a liner to centre field and lan Jed at second. Rogers then sent a fly to left field that bounced from the rubber hand of the fielder to the fence. Mangum stayed in the ring by flying one to loft field but out of reach. Next caino Le Grando's tiio and he lined one to third, which put Rogers out, but he himself made first. Hurl ing did Reed send a fly by which Mangum made us "tally." This was awful hitting and Tarboro took Warren from the box and placed in Withers. Caldwell's lly was caught, leaving Le Grande, Reed and Graves on bases. At sacrifice of Phillips out on first, Kenua made a score in fourth, giving them three marks. Automn tic-like, Lattimer sent the ball into Konna's hands at centre field in fifth. Fisher made a good trip to first but downed at second running, and Rogers went out by the short stop Withers was put out in a chase to and fro between socond and third. In this inning a ground ball struck Caldwell in the face, delaying the game a few minutes and inflicting a wound in his up per lip but ho didn't give up. Glavin succeeded in coming homo, making the score 5 and 4 for us. In the sixtli even the dumb yelled when LoGrande knocked it over the fence, but ho was the Casabianca of the inning for us. Konua and Phillips scored to our deep sorrow now, which put us 6 and 6. The cause of this loss was that the ball went under the fence, giving the runners ample time to homo it before anyone could get it. It was a groat misfortune to us and helped the Tarboro boys much. It was a fatal stroke to us and such a defect was not known to the players on either side. Now the visitors resorted to their last chance of winning the game as they fully realized that hard work was before. It proved well for them too. Their la6t act was to take Withers from the box and put in Kenna their third pitcher for the game. It was a bad stroke for us for he struck out in succession Caldwell, Lattimer and Fisher. But nev theless our boys played steady ball and neither did the oppo nents score in the seventh. In the eighth Rogers was put out between socond and third af ter numerous attempts. This was some of the closest of play ing along at this, time. Fenner saw first but dropped there on account of "side-up." The ninth did not yet change the score. Graves was left on bases, while two of Tarboro's men went out at first and one fanned out. The ninth was ended and neither side had won. They de cided to play until night or de cide the eame, so commenced on the tenth inning. Wo went toi the bat but Lattimer struck out as did also Fisher, and Card was caught out. Now it was the other side's turn for the latter half of the tenth. This was the sorrow ful time for us for Meade stepped to the bat and at last landed the ball over the fence. This ended the long battle, and wo dropped our heads, but with the satisfac- MSMAllCK'S IRON NERVEj Waa the result of his splendid health.

Tarboro three, Concord 1 this is the result of the series of games we have had with the boys from the East. Once wo beat them, once we gave them a hard fight but tha last time we went down with the result of the headlines. On account of Rogers not staying on the team, Lattimer who had been down as a sub stitute, went in the game. The game was umpired by Williamson Morris. Kenna's balls were mora easy to hit Friday than the day before he used his arm less and head more. In the first inning Card and LoGrande were left on bases. By an error Luskey made to first. Kenna's fly was caught by Lattimer and the ball sent hurriedly home just too late to keep Meade from scoring in the first inning. In the second in ning wo failed to make anything but ciphers. Phillips, who proved the finest on'the team that after noon, knocked an over-the-fence ball. This put our boys on their toes to think we were 0 to 2. By steady playing "side-up" at last came leaving Brake on the base. In the third Card opened the game for us and did something that no other man on the team was able to do he scored. A nice play was made when Lusky knoclced to Lambeth, who landed it over into LeG rand's loft hand, putting out Meade at second. This inning was unseorable for the visitors. In the fourth Withers scored on Lambert's deep centre field fly but Lambert died on the base. In the fifth we met our fate when that same Phillips repeated his act of the socond inning by raising the ball over the fence when Kenua and Fenner wore on the bases, making throe runs in one inning. This is the end of the scoro and it was un necessary for further playing. Even Brake and Withers wore on bases when the side went out. Within six inches, the distance between Rood's fingers and the homo plate, we scored in the the sixth. It was hard to think of so near and yotsofar. Graves and Caldwell were left on bases. In this inning Wed dington's arm was exchanged for Mangum's. The visitors left no man on the bases in this in ning, No scores made in the seventh. Lambeth and Card' left were on bases for us and Phillips for Tar boro, Onanerrorof the shortstop in the eighth Reed reached first but died there. Withers was run down between first and sec ond and Lambeth and Glavin never readied first base. In our part of the ninth Fisher was downed between second and third, Lattimer fanned out and Card was put out. As the score stood 6 to 1 the visitors did not take their part of the inning.
