WE WERE ERRORLESS.
Aot a Better Game Has Been Played
This Season By Our Boys Than Was
Thursday's Game Kings Mountain
Fails to Score.
Our people for some reason
are not laying as much stress on
any game this season as when
we go against the Mountain Is
land boys, but we missed a great
treat in ball when we did not see
the same in Charlotte! Thursday,
the 6th, between our team and
Vo TTiriorc. Monntain bovs. Not
a better game on the part of our
boys has or Mil be seen this
season, as their playing was de
void of errors! When a team
plays nine innings and fails to
have a single error against any
member of the team then we
know that they are playing a
game for which they should
receive commendation. The
Charlotte Observer speaks of
the srame thusly
"The gamef between Kings
Mountain and Concord Thursday
wadisappointrng. The Moun
taineers were not in it with the
Inyincibles of Cabarrus. They
went down in a Waterloo defeat,
the score being 9 to 0 in favor of
Concord.
"Mountain Island has Parker
and Concord has Weddington.
She had him Thursday,
King's Mountain learned to her
sorrow1. It was said Wednesday
that Weddington had lost his
arm, but he found it, orva good
imitation i of v it, Thursday, and
put 'em oVer the plate, with his
old-time speed. The boys trom
down the Ay Line could not
manage him. The team, how
ever, didn't allow him to play
the game alone; they backed
him up in great shape, hence
the whitewash. Caldwell at
second played practically well.
' 'The Mountain boys fielded
well, but were weak in the box;
Ragan was S knocked out in the
fifth, and Stewart was substi
tut?d. The game opened up well.
Neither team scored until the
third, and the spectators thought
there was a treat in store for them,
but their expectations were not
realized.

Kings Mountain adds to her
team today several of Charlotte's
players and hopes to do some
what better with their Mecklen
burg aid. Our boys will return
home tonight and getj- in shape
for their trip next week.
An Unusually Good Meeting.
The Woman's Missionary
society of Trinity Reformed
church met in the lecture room

unusuallyL good and all felt
spiritually strengthened till the
meeting adjourned. After which
all present were invited to the
parsonage where the president,
Mrs. J. N. Faust, had some re
freshments awaiting them! We
all enjoyed ourselves and ren

FOR WAR IN EARNEST.
Ten Regiments of Volunteers to be Raised
Gen. Wheeler Goes to Manila:
The national government is
entering upon the task "of ending
the Philippine war in earnest.
Orders have been issued tor rais
ins: ten regiments of volunteers
in the United States beside what
Gen. Otis can raise in the Phil
ippines among the volunteers
whose time has expired.
There will be recruiting sta
tions in each State and 1 the regi
ments, which will number from
26 to 35 inclusive, will be rendez
voued as follows : i
Twenty-sixth at Plattsburg
barraks, New York; Twenty -
seventh, at Camp Meade, Penn
sylvania; Twenty-eighth, at Camp
Meade, Pennsylvania; Twenty
ninth, at Fort McPherson, Ga. ;
Thirtieth, at Fort Sheridan, 111. ;
Thirty-first, at Fort Thomas,
Ky.; Thirty-second, at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. ; Thirty-third,
at Fort Sam Houston, Texas;
Thirty-fourth, at Fort Logan
Col.; Thirty-fifth, at Vancouver
barracks, Washington. .
The period of service will ex
pire June 30, 1901, unless sooner
discharged.
These troops are expected to
be ready for the campaign when
the rainy season is over.
Gen. Wheeler has at last been
assigned to duty and is ordered
to report to Gen. Otis at Manila.
He will pack and be off at once.
He is reported as much pleased
with the order. He said:
"I believe now that the rebel
lion is on, that it should be
stamped out. The sooner 'it is
done the better it will be for the
Filipinos, as well as for the
United States. Every loyal
American should support the ad
ministration in its effort to termi
nate the strife and to set up a
good government in the Philip
pines. I am glad to be able to
lend my aid to the government
at this time, Nwhen it is in need of
support. I shall place myself at
the disposal of General Otis, and
endeavor to do my duty as a sol
dier." ;
They Noticed the Difference.
, Without saying one word in
our columns to that effect, The
Standard came out Thursday
with an entirely new body type.
We thought it best to Jet the' ac
tions come before the words, and
would wait results. The result
was that numbers of our readers
noticed it and complimented it
very highly. Yes, after most
diligent endeavors, our office has
been equipped with four hundred
pounds of new long primer type
and we will now expect a much
cleaner-looking sheet still. Now
one thing more.
We are doing our part and let
our people continue their inter
est in our daily paper and we
will continue to try to make its
columns still more newsy. Any
newspaper, in order to prosper,
must have the co-operation of its
people about it.

Cuba As An Ore Producer.
Cuba is rich in : iron ore, and
is looming up a great ore pro
ducer and exporter. 1 In 1896
the United States imported from
Cuba r 409,883 ; tons, in 1897
397,171 tons; in 1898 the war cut
the importations down to 164,177
tons. The estimated: importa
tions for this year , are 1,000,000
tons, and it is predicted that this
will be more than doubled with
in the next year.
This is a peculiar kind of ore
and is used mainly for mixing
with American ores in the manu
facture of steel, in addition to
which it can probably be de
livered at our . " Atlantic ports
more cheaply ' than ores from
inland mines, which have long
transporation by rail can ..be.
Some of the principal mines
now being worked are owned
and operated by Americans, who,
of course utlilize all the labor
saving machinery possible and
mine on the economicalmethods.
These mines : will - prove of im
mense . advantage to the steel
industries along our coast, be
cause that kind of iron is needed
and the competition they create
will insure iron at a moderate
cost, and -. protect manufactures
from combinations that might be
formed it they, were . dependent
exclusively upon the home mines.
Some of the owners of Cuban
mines are adding ; largely to
their faculties j for production in
view of the large "business they
are doing and dxpect to do.
