OAME ? ?bs Fr mi Both Teams Play Good Ball? g0 Large CrowdThe following report of the game ot hall between Louiaburg and Ta Franklinton on last Thursday at Tr ' Kaleigh, was taken from the Evening 'Times: - ' . py The twelve hundred or more Deopie who journeyed out to the ball Ai park yesterday afternoon were not disappointed in the least for they saw ono ot thk?indst interesting , games played here in some time. To read over the list of players will pr reveal the fact that some of the best St players of the State were on each team. University, ^fake Forest, A. & M-, Guilford Colleges had men on ^ vhe diamond as well 'as the profta sional rank. These two teams havo Mi been ydaving against each other for M< some timb and while Louiaburg had *G ' "'two of her ffet men on the siok liet, . lost three o*Totir games to hfanklin. < ton, straight running, yesterday both nil teams were praotioully intact and on neutral ground1. It was greek against greek. A crowe 1 excursion train brought hundreds from the two towns to root for their resfeo- P< tiv? team and well did they do it. M ; : \-' / y ' ? ml v <AiY ,GER ."'i ; * . ~ ' liile it was a noisy crowd, it was . tin* for its individual team j i flayers. After a spirited prao- i s -Capt. Card, of Tr'nityCollege, 1 lounoed the batteries and the sat battle was on. Manager Mc- I nne sent bis star-eiaberaan, Hedgeib, to the tnonnd. While the big jky fellow who was a star toot 11 player at Carolina has been sick, iterdav lie was at his best and did sat work. McKeithan, the idol the Franklinton fans, and who s been doing tgood box 1 work all er tile state, did the burling for s Franklinton team." The one see of field work that stood out tT~ * ? t son11 anything else wus the work Jim Turner on first for Franklin, l. This man, who has Won many jaiue for Wake Forest College, lyed a great game, taking wild sri'wn nr nnything in hia flam" "Id useful, easy way. Turner's bat is, very much in evidence also, isither pitcher allowed an oppos; batter to reach first until (Theird. In this, Iledgepeth paesea a in and McKeithan yielded a twogger, but neither man readied e base in front of him. In the urth it began to look blue for tuishurfr H?

Hedgepeth next , drove to center for two bases ading in three men and tieing the >re. In the eighth, Stone led off th a double and Hedgepeth hit to 't for his second double winning e game 6 to 4. The features were a beantiful run ng patch in right by Frye and in nter by Haokney, and Benbow's me drive to right. McKeithan apparently weakened the last part of the game while sdgepeth grew stronger. ? It was a beautiful game and each am played for all they were worth, ch was anxious to wiu before sOch great crowd, and m Raleigh.

In conversation with one of Louisburg's leading physicians ono day this week we were told that a- movement had been on foot to establish a >> in >ut iii a w|;aiiiioioai|i iui uuying tobacco on the Louisburg market, and will add greatly to the success of the market. Mr. Malone has been connected with the Havana-American Cigai Company, located at Havana, Tampa and Key West, for the past ten years and is a good judge -of tbj weed. Mr. Parham is well known to oni farmers and his ability in this respect is not questioned. This firm will buy on orders and we are informed, they have a large number o< orders on band at present to fill. Our people are glad to weluomc Mr. Maloue and bis good d-ife tc our midst again and the tobaccc market is to be congratulated npor having this firm with it. Hey burn Stops "Dixie" Seattle, Wasb., Aug 13.?Senator W. B. Heyburn, of Idaho, dislikef "Dixie." He created a sensation al a reception eiven to Congressman T, R. Hamer, at Wallace, Idaho, lasl night by stopping the orchestra while the musilians were playing the popular strains. Colonel Hamer bad just finished his address, and the orchestra bad started a mtdly of well-known airs. About the sixth number in the-med. ly was "Dixie." "The Senator leaped to his feet, strode across to the ran"sicians a.id cried out: "This is a Republican meeting. We want no such tunes here." The amazed musicians at once stopped. After a moment of silence Mayor Hanson arose and closed the meeting. Every County Needs One The movement in Alamance county to establish a hospital is only one more evidence of the right son oi progress wnion is seen in al things in that county. The alamsnce people have a way of doing things in a community way as to achools and roads that other counties might well emulate. They are going to have a county hospital?a need that every county ought to Blipply for .itself. The best thing m North Carolina toda^ is the aroused sentiment along lines of health and sanitation. T.ie people, th? press and the pulpit are aiding the doctors in preaching sani tation and prevention of diseases. The best fruit of this agitation is a County Hospital in every county. Let other counties follow the example of Alamance.?New-Observer. ??T? * !? *~ffl STATE, THE TJNION. LYV^JGUST 19, 1910. THE MOVING PEOPLE.! THEIR MOVEMENTS IN AHli OUT OF TOWtf. Those Who Have Visited Louisburgr the Past Week?Those Who Have Gone Elsewhere for Business or PleasureW. M. Fuller, of Wake Forest, was in town the past week. J.H Mitchell, of Raleigh, was a visitor to Louisburg the past week. Miss Maude Kelly, of Birmingham, Ala., is visiting at Mr. It. G. Allen's.

Jerry Kittle Caught. ' Jerry Kittle, a notorious blockader was caught in Louisburg on Saturday. We are informed that the Federal authorities have been looking for him for more than six years and had instructed Chief op Police High to keep a look out for him. He was arrested here Saturday upon iMi; st hospital for .Louisbu'rg. It-had de- a vcloped to siich an extent that one g of-our-worthy cilizena offered to put o in Hnrr the matter had been I put before the beard of County S Commissi oners It was explained ( to us that if such an institution was 1: in our midst there would be uo need ? of so many people going from Frank ( lin county -to hospitals away from ? home as they could receive the prop- t er attention here. This would save 1 an untold amount in traveling and other expenses, besides affording the e poorer people, who are no. able to t pay for same, the advantiges of hos- t pital treatment tree. In this case < the oounty should contribute liberal t ly as well as all the chu robes and | other charitable organizations. The plan is unique and we hope to got it j for publication in some future issue of the Times. Let none ot our citi- , Couaty Commissioners and churches, withhold anythinc that will help this noble cause. It will be one of the best things for humanity that has ever been established in this, county. * Baseball Editor Reports Sermon. Says an exchange: Recently the baseball editor ?f a metfnnnlitnn rm per was sent to report tbe sermon of a new minister as the religious editor was ill. This4s the copy he turned in; "Quitd.a bunch whs present last Sunday evening at the church, owing to the presiencejof ifenew star and the box of boosters was anxious for a line on his work. Rev. ?? was certainly there with the goeds and performed to the satisfaction of all present. Owing to the fact that this was his first appearence on the local grounds he was a little nervoUB the first inning. Encourged by the coachcrs in the 'Amen'corner, he let himself loose and had the game well in hand from then on. His new Jerusalem slow ball is a peach and when he turned loose on eternal punishment his speed was terrific. As this was his first work out it is too early to try to prediot a future for him, but if he oan keep up tbe gait he has started with it's him for tbe big league next season." Waiting on the Farmers. What is the matter with Republican prosperity? In Wall Street it has turned into mighty near a panic. The iron and steel business, which"is looked upon as the barometer of . trade, is in the dumps. The cot,ton and other textile mills are only working on half time. And so on. Everything is waiting "on the farmer. If the crops average well, business will revive but the yield of wheat is poor in spots and there will be less than an rverage. Apparentlythe cotton crop will fall below the average. All eyes are turned on the corn crop which," although the drought has injured it in the Southwest, may be a fair av- ; erage. In any event, "the best Repnbli- , can tariff bill ever enacted" does not . seem to be doing itsjbaU duty of L producing yuioaperityTand'this will corflpei the Republican spell-binders, during the next tew weeks, to re- 1 vise their old speeches, that the Republican party is the prosperity pro- 1 ducer, and explain what is the matter with Taft, Teddy and the jeriff t The insurgent Republicans can i blame it on Cannon and Aldrich and still declare thj>t the new tariff is as bad as they claimed it to be, and the farmers will do the rest?that is, give us a Democratic victory.
