Robinson Thinks That tits Tar Heel Checker Players Will Bestir Themselves They Can Beat Champion Flshbnrne It Was Once (Done by a Lowry Man. To ths Editor of The Observer: I notice In to-day's Observer sn ac count of a meeting of checker players held recently In -Atlanta, Ga. The article states that Mr. F. B. Fish burne, of Columbia, 8. C, was the prime "mover" in making the ar rangements for this meeting and that It was mainly due to the efforts and enthusiastic work of Mr. rishburne that ths meeting resulted in the or gantzation of checker association of the South and West It seems also that Mr. Flshburne beat all the boys playing checkers and that he got all the bouquets and carried oft all the honors of the meeting. I note mat North Carolina had only one repre sentative at the meeting. I think that this accounts for the score being so one-sided and all In Mr. rush- burne's favor. I know that there are several checker players in the city of Charlotte alone who would have Interested Mr. Flshburne had tney been able to attend the recent raeet- 1ns In Atlanta. I never had the pleasure of meet ing Mr. Flshburne, but I know of him and have heard -that he can play some. However, ne is nui imp umj checker player we have in this fair Southland. I know that once upon a time he met his Waterloo at the hands of a North Carolina player. About three years ago Mr. Flshburne, .hllened Mr. J. M. Wilson, of Lowell, for a game of checkers by correspondence. Mr. Wilson is not a professional 'checker player, but has chsrge of the accounting depart ment of the Lowell Cotton Mills and the Peerless Manufscturing Company, and plays checkers only for amuse ment and as a pastime. Mr. Wilson did not feel that he should accept a rhallenre from a player with the skill and experience of Mr. Flshburne , Vlth th result that Mr. Wilson beat Mr. Flsh burne one of the games and snarte a draw of the other one. Mr. Fish burne remarked after the game that - -THE' UNION ' NATIONAL BANK . Of charlott;e,n.cl THE WEATHER. Washington, Sept. to.

But He Gets Arrsy. Special to The Observer. Statesvllle. Sept. 25. The first at tempt at burglary in Statesvllle for some time oocurred early yesterday morning. Between I and 2 o'clock Mrs. W. W. Galtber was aroused by some on attempting to open the blinds of a kitchen window. After llstenlns' a few minutes to be sure that it was a burglar, Mrs. Galther awaken ed Mr. Galther and whispered to him that a burglar was sbout to enter tne house. Securing his pistol, Mr. Galth er crept noiselessly to the kitchen and managed to open the door without frightening away the night prowler. The man on the outside continued to pull at the blinds until Ma Galther flred at him. when there was a great commotion on the outside. Rushing outside, Mr. Galther could bear the visitor rushing through the weeds In the back tot at high speed and he attempted to empty the other cham bers of hla pistol, but the weapon failed to fire. Mr. Galther Is man ager of the Iredell Cafe and is always the last man to leave at-night. He did not get home until 12:30 Wednes day night, and he thinks the would- be burglar was some one who thought he had tsken home the money taken In at the cafe during the day. All last winter there were burglar scares In Statesvllle and a number of times the nlght-sjowlers gained en trance to homeswld made away with a, little booty. During ths summer, however, things have been quiet as a rule. The "peeping Tom stunt" a fw nights sgo, snd the Incident men tioned shove, will cause ths nervous to become uneasy again.
