Have a Good Time While the Mothers Are Away Charming Fibbers.- Ginger and Tommle, two little girls at the Central Hotel, clad in boy skirts, belts and caps, were caught in a box of chocolate candy t one afternoon last week by the mother of Tommie, the younger of the two, and upbraided for eating sweets without getting her permis sion. "It was Ginger," said Tommie. "Yes, but who gave Ginger the candy but you?" nrtced the mother of Tommie, in whose room the trouble was made. "Tommie told me to get up on the chair and get it," said Ginger. "I did not know where it was until be showed it to me and asked me to get It down." "I didn't eat but one piece; Gin ger ate three," declared the 3-year- old. "Why, Tommie, you ate. three, and I ate one," said the girl of C summers. "No, yon ate thre and I ate one," aid Tommie. "You must have eaten three or more pieces each from the looks of your mouths and cheeks," said the mother. The morning after they were caught the mother discovered six small pieces of tissue paper in the , slop-jar. "Who put this paper in here, Tommie?" "Me and Ginger." "There are six pieces of it. I nought that you said you Just ate four pieces you one and Ginger " three. Who ate the rest?" "Ginger." - An hour later, when Ginger was met and told of the discovery, and asked who ate the other two pieces, she answered promptly: "Tommie." "White lies, or film which?" asked ; Tommle's mother of Ginger's. VmXIAM HKIXiKl) IN TIME. When He Saw the of the A. & . M. Boys 1I fcmelt a Mouse.

In -'the opinion of the best Char- lotto people no more gentlemanly or better behaved young men ever so journed in the city than the A. & M. and Davidson football teams which spent SaturCay here.' From the time the Davidson aggregation arrived in the city Friday afternoon until its departure th following evening no one thlny happened which was at all out-of-the-way or unseemly. There was no boisterous conduct on the part of anyone, no loud talking, no drinking, in fact nothing which the most rigid discip linarian could take exception to. The same -was true m even greater degree of the A. A M. delegation, which spent , Saturday r. and Saturday night in the city. .The eleven, hav ing won the State championship, was treated to a box uarty at the Acade my,' the management being host The -young men, . neatly dressed In citizens' cloches, - occupies the four lower boxes and enjoyed the play to the " utmost. They did .not atare around the house, seeking to pick out the prettiest girls nor did they ap plaud like college' boys frequently; do, with cat calls and the Ilk. No more dignified and stylish young men were in the house. Their gentlemanly bearing was much- commented on and the institution they represented' wa given due credit. It is to be nopea that the two colleges will meet often in Charlotte. 5 ' As to the game Saturday, it was the finest exhibition of the new style of play that ever took: place in the cltv. The A. M. eleven won be cause of its superior execution of the forward pass, working the play suc cessfully not less than a dozen times. Davidson line was a atone wau ana all of the gains made by the farmers were around the ends. Luck ngurea conspicuously in the score, the Pres byterians getting the short haul every time. The farmer iaas aeserve the more credit for winning In view of the fact that two of their best players, Messrs. Sadler and- McKIn non, were ruled out before the game started on the ground that they were not bona fide students and hence not entitled to jnhiv. The game in Nor- ifolk Thursday, between the A. & M. and the University or Virginia promises to be a corker. The larm ers are determined to win and there by secure to themselves the cham pionship of the South Atlantic States. HAMLET FARMER'S MEWS. Mr. Martin C. Freeman Tells an Ob server Man What He Thinks of tho Financial SltnatlonHe Thinks the Farmer Should Hold His Cotton For Better Prices Ills Reasons For Rayina So. Mr. Martin C, Freeman, - a well known farmer and business man of Hamlet, has this to say of tho present Anunclal situation: "I wish to say to 'A Farmer.' whose communication appeared In The Observer of Fri day, that he is on the right track when he says or intimates that 15 cent cotton would make .better times. It is also my opinlion that if tho banks' would let the farmer who owes money have cash on his cotton money would soon be plentiful and cotton would go to 15 cents. The banks have plenty of money, es pecially the Southern banks, but what good is it doing the country, pray tell mo, locked In the vaults? It had Just as well be wrapped in a raa- and tucked away between thai logs of some old miser's cabin. With farm labor at a dollar and more a day, all the farmer has to buy 2B to 40 per cent, higher than it formerly was, cotton is worth 15 cents, and the farmer should hold it until he gets that. All the talk about the farmer holding his oV.tton Is rot. He Is not doing it. Some few are, but they are falling over each other to get their cotton to market at any price. Within a radius of six or eight miles of Ham let I will venture to say that, out side of my little crop, there Is not a dozen bales of cotton to be found, and there has been more cotton made here than I have ever known before. I have not sold a bale and do not Intend to until I get what it Is worth. Let every fellow do as I have none, appoint himself a com mittee of one to attend to his own biixlness and sell his cotton when he gets its worth, and if all will do this for 30 days you will see the bears falling out of Wall Street much faxter than they were falling out of me caneorakea oi Louisiana some weeks ago. iiy ine way, wo nave located a bear In the swamps near town and a we haven't the tlma to send for 'teddy, would be glad if you would semj Kd Buckdown with that Providence pack and we will put nun io lllgni. HAD ONE FIGHT TOO MANY. iom, tne Nciwyn Porier, Had One FlglK that He Will Never Forget Wnlk.-d 13 Miles to Whip a Negro But Got Licked Within an Inch of Ills Life, "Tom, why don't you fight out your troubles twlth that fellow?" asked an Observer man of Tom, the Selwyn porier. '1 ain't had a fight In twenty-odd years," said Tom, "and I'm not s-oin io nave anv more. Why, do you not believe in fight ln?" "No, sir. Tho .last fight I had walked 15 miles to start it and it took two men to take the fellow off of me when I got there. That row taught me a lesson. I bad reason to ilaht that nigger, for he done me dirt, but i got me worst or It. It whs a day or two after the bla cvieuratum at Kin' Mountain, 20 years ago. I walked from King's Mounwn to yorkviiie to whup a nia ger and gut the wurst beaten any nig ger ever gut." "What wera you flshtlnr about torn ;- "Twenty-five eenU." "That all?" "Y!s, sir, and fur the Drinclnle of rne tning. uat nigger asked me to loan him a quarter and I told him I wouldn't do it, but when he offered to put up his knife I give him the money and took the knife. : A llttla Wt later he usked me to let him have the knife a mtntt and I done it, and he turned 'round and 'lowed 'I gut the money and the knife. Oit 'em If you kin.' "That made me mad but I didn't stop to nght then, for I was Benin' lemonade and makln money. The more I thought about It the madder I gut until I Just had to follow him to Yorkvllle and jump on. him. That's where I dropped my candy,: It sho wua a sin the way that nigger beat ma.

"In a certain North Carolina town, where scrip Is being used In lieu of the long green, a tobacco farmer sold 1165 worth of tobacco and went to a bank to collect the dough, and the paying teller gave hftn $36 In money and $130 in scrip. ' 'Say, man, give me money; don t give me that stuff,' said the farmer. " 'We haven t the cash to spare. " 'Well, give me back my bills and will get my tobacco and haul It home.' " 'You have sold your tobacco and w6 can't let you have your bills. Let the matter stand; the scrip is all right.' " 'Yes, but I want real money,' said the farmer. "The banlcman was obstinate: he would not yield to the tiller of the soil. "As if inspired with a happy idea. the farmer said: 'Well, give me the scrip; I'll take If "The bankers did not know- that the man they were dealing with was one of the leading auctioneers of that section of the country, but they soon found It out. for the fellow went out on tne steps, stopped, yelled a time or two, got a crowd and then began ,to cry: 'Come 'along, gentle men, and buy this scrip.

Hardin, fas lor of the Second Presbyterian church, made public announcement yesterday morning of his Intent to accept the call which he received recently to the pastorate of the Third Presbyterian church, of Chi cago, 111., the largest and wealthiest Protestant church in that city. He stated to his people that aKthe con gregational meeting next Sunday he would ask them to Join with him in requesting the Presbytery to dis solve their pastoral relations. Should the Presbytery act In accord with their combined request, which is al most certain, then he will ba at liberty to accept the new call. : -'vt- As has already been stated, the Third Presbyterian church In Chi cago - is one of the largest of the kind In the . country, having 1,500 members and 1,800 In the Sunday school, and -the pastorate carries with it a good salary.. More Long Staple Cotton For Meck lenburg County. "The county should raise mora Flo- radora cotton," remarked a, prominent farmer to an Observer man Saturday. The staple will average one-quarter of an inch longer than tha old variety and wm command a " much higher and more stable price. Vhlle not so, much can e produced to the acre tha bet ter market will more-than make up the difference. I am confident that the acreage foroduotlon can be Increased especially by those farmers. who know now to select the seed, nrenara tha oil, and cultivate the growing -plant i nave hi n ind one farmer how who had six acres planted in this lone staple cotton and hla yield this season was iour bales, t He will get three or four cents more for It than for any other. While he would have secured a Dale to the acre of the ordinarv vari ety, he can increase the production of the long staple variety until it reaches m same yiew and will have the bet ter price for his work. - More high grade cotton should be grawn In the county. , -; y,;No. WreclrTEminent The scare; that so many people had Saturday, on account of the wreck that might have been on the Sea board, seems to hava been uncalled for.
