Going to see a game of ball is like Inly
ing a ticket to a lottery. You sometimes
get a prize, aud you sometimes don't. If
you had witnessed the game yesterday
between Spartanburg aud Charlotte, the
prize would have been yours. The liber
al minded folks present felt like giving
the gate-keeper another quarter, so pleased-
were they with the exhibition. It was
one of the best games of the season, sur
passing the loaguu -games by far. The
teams were well matched, hut Charlotte
had Frank, and Spartanburg didn't; that
was why the score stood 7 to 2 our way.
Both batteries Frank and Daly, and
Hamburg and Fleinming did elegant
work. Frank only gave the visitors
two hits; while Charlotte won only
live olT of Hamburg.
Only three errors were made- two by
Charlotte, one by Spartanburg. The
game was devoid ol any phenomenal
plays, but abounded in good work
throughout. The Spartanburg team is
composed of gentlemen every man of
them, aud their buhaviour on the
grounds was exemplary.
The game to-day should draw a large
crowd. Itjyill be a good one, and wor
thy of-patronage. "The positions" will be

The New Hook Store All Attractive lte
ort. One of the most attractive places in the
city is the new. book store Putnam's.
Tho line of novelties displayed will rival
many of the city stores, and already il is
vying with th'h enviable reputation won
by Messrs. Boss & Adams in their palmi
est days. Not the least of the attractions
to be found at Putnam's, is "Johnny"
Andursou. He draws with irresistible
magnetism, as the "magnet did the silver
churn." With such a complete and beau
tiful line of goods, and "Johnnie" to show
them off, there is no reason why Put
nam's should not be to Charlotte what
Boss lie. Adams' was. Mr. I'utuam is well
pleased with his success so far, and thinks
Charlotte as fine business center as can
be found in this part of the country.
Ice Crertm Trent Tlie Ada MIhuIiui.
The teachers of the Ada Mills Sunday
school, gave the attendants of the school
an icecream party Saturday uight, which
was a pleasant alTair. There was an
abundance of cream, cuke, lemonade and
fruit, and, as was expected, fun also.
This school is one of the most nour
ishing in the city. It was built up from
a nucleus of five or six, to a present
membership of 40. As soon as possible,
it is .desired to build a chapel in that lo
cality, as one is greatly needed.

It showed us that in spite of a very
prosperous Soring trado, we had many
more Men's Fine Baits than we should
have at such an advanced stage of tlie sea
son. This might have been bad, but it
would have been worse to have remained
inactive under the circumstances. "It
isn't always good to let well enough

hundreds of $12, $14, $15 and $10 Suits in
both Backs and Cutaways, elegantly
made and trimmed at
$9,89. '
The demand we have had for
these suits has been so groat that it com

The citizens of Davidnon met on the
afternoon of the vtu and organized a
Democratic club. We mean to aid all
we can in the coming struggle, lor we
think it the duty of every one to take an
active interest in all the political affairs
of our country. Prof. W. D. Vinson was
elected president of the club. Four
vice-presidents were elected from the
various parts of the township. We hope
to have a speech from our president at
an early date. He has studied the silver
question very thoroughly and is prepared
to go to the very bottom of It and give
our reason for standing firmly on the
Democratic platform. We can safely
promise every one a fraud treat" on that
