attention to the storage boose that
was recently built in front of the lot.
After inspecting ' the strangely . eon-

was 'for, -n'- - "
. "Why don't you know, wbat that
ist That's the depot for the ear line
the Salisbury folks have been building
and talking about for so lotM. "-
'Well I can't Bee what they want
, to build -tbe depot way down bere
before the track gets this far," re
plied the enquirer. r .
Well, you sea, thm street car
"folks keep saying they are going to
build a track down this "way, and be
ing as they bad the track in the other
partof town they wanted to give the
' people down this way something1, so
they built the depot bere so as nut to
- slight anybody. You see nobody can't
ride, anyway, and tbe people np here
" - can have the depot and tbe people at

eel inclined, and precious little then.

aggregation of ball tossers journeyed
down to Fort Mitt, & CI, yesterday
morning lor series of three games

of the fastest games seen in that city

end of the score, 4 to 2. It was a
ease from beginning to end of too

the Cabarrueites was serving them op
in every way except the way the Fort
Mill sluggers wanted them to come,
and the best they could do was to
connect with his offerings for three
widely separated bingles, neither of
wm.cn was more man an ordinary
single. He received excellent support
from his teammates, whose fast field
ing and all round work was a surprise
even to their stannehest admirers.
Each team made three bobbles, some
of which were costly, but the visitors

PEARSON FLAYS TAFT.
Has Persistently Heaped Insults Upon
l ' White Republicans.
I Republicans in Asheville and Bun
combe county were given a severe
jolt Monday evening whei Rico-onJ
fearson, formip United Slates min-
hster to Persia and Greece, caused to
be publisred a eomnnication in which
he not only declined to accept the Re
publican nomination .for State Sena
tor after being endorsed by the pre
cinct meeting Saturday night, but
took occasion to put the gaff in Pres
ident Taft in no uncertain manner.
Pearson '8 communication, which was
addressed to The Gazette-Newa, fol
lows: "I am surprised to learn that the
Republican primaries, held in this
county on the 23d instant, declared
for me with practical unanimity for
ine otate senate.
i ' Hf -,-;-. 2- ii j.i.. i
view or & fact that on the- 16th
instant Mr. J. J. Bntt, the present
State Senator; T. F. Rowland, the
county chairman, and T. J. Harkins.
chairman of the city executive com
mittee, called in a body and asked if
I would accept the nomination ' for
the Mate senate, and I told these
gentlemen emphatically and un
equivocally that I would not accept
the nomination, for reasons which I
stated to them franklybut which
am now constrained, to state publicly
to the ilxepublicans who have honored
me by this renewed expression of
confidence, : for : which I am un
affectedly and cordially grateful.
"I cannot run or stand or sit for
the office in question, for the plain
reason that I cannot endorse or de
fend or justly or explain or ex
tenuate or understand the persistent
and obstinate insults which the actual
President and head of the party has
heaped upon the twelve hundred
thousand white Republicans of the
Southern States who honored' him by
their confidence and their suffrages
at the last election. .
"This naked and undeniable fact
would make my position as a candi
date not simply - untenable but im
possible. So that my self-respect, as
well as my obligations to the party,
force me to stand aside until a dif
ferent posture of affairs shall be pre-
yented. -
"Tbe rumblings in the sixth . dis
trict of Missouri and the eataclyams
in the fourteenth Massachusetts and
in the thirty-eeond NeW York dis
tricts eeem to have had no effect
upon Mr. Taft and he will orobablv
continue an his fatuous course until
the elections next November ' reveal
the fact that he has lost friends in
our party, and gained neither votes
nor thanks from the other.
