" i. 1 Last ayenlnr-as1 man was going along South Tryonto-mip with an Other man, they saw a boy squatting on Ms' Umber toe at Second street, a yard. or two from Tryon. tola eye screwed at a. crack In that ' board , fence opposite the Cramer lot. The two men tHPd curiously. '"What's the jmalter with you. Bus ier??, asked on a. " y The boy made signs and whispered until they undensteod that something momentous was on hand. But they were pitiless and kept questioning hlnu? iFlnatly he eased upward and ' looked cautiously over the fence. ; v "Doesn't he know you are here? 'asked one of the men. referring to another boy, who sat on that block of granite 25 steps southward. - fj reckon he does, now," said the ; boy, crestfallen, ."since I looked over the fence." Ha aaid his name was I hi man Alexander, but no question could get the game out of him. He wouldn't J Jell. "NothlnV he would reply. The men moved on to the other boy, a ruddy faced fellow, barefooted and healthy. He kept his seat on ' the granite block, drawing lines on the dusty cement with his toes, half emlling and half-aulklng. "What Influence are you under?" a man asked. "That other boy? Have you and he hypnotised each other?" "No, sir," denied Ephrlam Alex ander, for that was his name a brother of the other fellow. He went On drawing with his toes. "I told him If he beat me to this rock he might hit me three licks. But I beat him and he hid back there and thought I didn't know where he was and was waiting for him." Very likely it is true that Ephrlam did not know where his brother was until the men made him discover himself. "Were you ro hit him throe lloks if you beat him? Come, now. Isn't that t the way It was? I'll bet yon he hung back there to let you go on. so he wouldn't have to take the licking. Ain't that so?" Ephrlam spraddled his fat tors out and twisted his l.-gs together, "No, sir." he said. But the men were In a hurry. Evidently the kids were up against each other to see which could tough the other out. When last seen they had settled back in their places, as If to say. "This rock shall fly from Its firm base as soon as I." BASEBALL I,KA(;i K OIUiAMZFJ). Game Will be Played Four Days In the W'wk at Wllmoore Athletic Field Teams Divided Into Three Classes.

Farmer of Mecklenbarj' Orgalnied i One ta -1898 Very tsimilar to the yPreaent ' Aasoclation-r-TlKs Officera, ' The" fact' It' not " general!?' known that Mecklenburg county waa the drat In the State to organise a, cotton as sociation, in 1898, a number of prom inent farmers gathered In ' the , court houee and organised what was then known aa - the Mecklenburg - -Cotton Orowers' Protective? -' Association. A constitution, was adopted -very alml lar to the one under which. the pres ent cotton association operates. Of ficers were elected, and -an e.Tscu tlve committee waa, appointed." t Mr. T. M. Shaw was elected prealdent; Mr. R. A. Orler, vice presidenf, and Mr. L. M. McAllister, secretary and treaa-ii-er; The executive committee was composed- of the following named: Charlotte township, J. C. Dowd; Ber ryhill, H. D. 8owe; Steele Creek, W. N. Peoples; Pineville. J. N. Elms; Providence, W. E. Ardrey; Morning Star, J. W. Hood; Clear C-eek, Craw ford Blggera; Crab Orchard, J. R. Ut-' leyk; Deweese, C. E. Boat; Mallard Creek, C. W. Boberson; Lemley, H. C. Hubbard; Hunters vllle, Charles F. Alexander; Paw Creek, Capt. J. T. Clark; Long Creek, J. M. Hample, and Sharon, Walter 8. Pharr. The constitution' was a very Interest ing; one. The object of the association. aa stated in section 2, was to "eau- cate the cotton growers of the county as to their rights and duties, and to devise ways and means for the Im provement of their condition. In sec tion 3, .It was stated that, in order to arrive at the ends sought for, a thor ough organisation should be effected. the acreage should be reduced to such a point as to insure a fair average price to every grower, and the associa tion should strive to Impress upon Its members the following:, ,Flrst. to reduce the cost of production of cot ton; second; to practice the principle of thrift and economy wjilch would enable him to escape debt and make his cotton a real money .crop; third. to make all his supplies at home to the end that the crop, when produced, may be all his own: fourth, to hold his crop each year until he can sell It to the best advantage, and fifth, to aid In building factories that the home market may be built up for all other farm products. The constitution further provided for the organization of township clubs all over the county. The meeting was an nually and under the general super vision of the American Cotton Protec tive Association. Owing to the fact that the people were not educated up to the needs of such an association. It did not pros er. It lived along for some time, and finally dlsappered. One thing, howev er. It did. It prepared the way for the present association and showed to tha farmers of the county the need of co operation. SnlM Hunters Get Knsy. The snipe hunters, not the fellows that take nut greenhorns and leave them standing In some dark, damp place to hold a bag until the cows come home or any old thing happens, but the men who take their guns and go out to kill the little game bird that feeds In the swamps of this section of the country at this lime of the year, are getting In their work now. The season Is nearlng the end but a num ber o? birds were killed last week. The snipe hunter. If he be a suc cessful one. must have an alert eye, a ready gun and an accurate aim. The snipe feeds In grass patches along the edge of pools and running streams, and, w'hen he scents danger, rises like a little brown colored rocket, turns away and darts out of gun-shot like an arrow, if a gunner gels a dozen In a day's hunt he does well. The dog. unless he be very carefully trained. Is not of much service In finding snipe, but If he can be made lo follow behind until one is killed he Is fine for .locat ing the dead bird. Charlotte has a number of sportsmen who take turns now and then after snipe. A few more of the little birds will be killed this week and then the boys will take a rest.

C, March 16, 1905, R. F. D. No. 25. About five months before the birth of my first child I was taken with some blod trouble, which the doctors said was dropalcal in Its nature. My some blood trouble, which the doctors nounced It dropsy, and said my blood had turned almost absolutely to water. My whole body was fear fully swollen, and when I would press upon It the dent would remain, aa Is so well known in dropsy. The doctors' treatment did not do one particle of good, and at the birth of my cnild I had convulsions ana was critically III, and for weeks I was very low. When I got up I waa In a fearfully weak condition and still suffered from that dropsical trouble. This remained my condition until a few months before the birth of my second child. I then determined to quit doctors' treatment, and bought one dozen bottles of Mrs. Joe Per sons Remedy and took It. By the time I finished the dozen boitles. every Indication of that dropsical trouble had disappeared, and my health was good. At the birth of my second child my condition was nat ural, and I was aoon up and well, and my health has remained so ever since. Before the birth of my third child, I again took a dozen bottles, and I never had a touch of that dropsical affection. Hnd had aa healthy, natural outcome aa was pos sible. I do not believe that there Is another medicine in the world Its equal, and no one need hesitate to try It only take enough to counter act the add In the blood and it will Cure. It Is a grand medicine. MRS. MARY H. MATHEW. "LADY BALTIMORE," By ' OWEN WISTER Author of THE VIRGINIANS," ETC. Just From the Press and a Good One Too. Houston, Dixon & Co. Books, Stationery and Art.
