A Good Driver.
We hear of a citizen of our county who
for wonderful driving certainly takes the
cake.
A Week or so ago he hitched up a mule
to a road cart ami went over in David
son -county, where he swapped the mule
for a bull, an old one, and one that had
never had a harness of any sort on him.
After trying unsuccessfully to get some
one to bring his cart back, our Kowanite
concluded to hitch the bull and drive
him, which he did successfully, making
his home (a distance of 1'J miles) in three
hours and fifteen minutes, and twice ex
tricating the animal from tlur ruins of a
feucc which he had tried to jump, with
the cart attached, to have a fight with
another- beast of the same kind.

Editor Watchmai: Since writing you
last, nothing of special interest has oc
curred here. A large number of visitors
are coming and going every dav. whilst
a considerable number come to stay for a
week or two, or longer.
It is uotic-i'jle, that a large m.ijGrity of
the visitors come from Concord aud Mt.
Pleasant, though there are several from
alisbnrv. -
There is now a Conference being held
by thje Lutheran denomination, at Bethal
a coniparitivfly new and elegant church
withwu one mile-of this place.
,W are told that no i-ain has tillen
here for alout seven weeks, consequently
the prospect for a corn aud cotton crop,
is gloomy indeed, and all thestreamshere
are nearly xtried up, with only a little
water standing here and there in lakes.
The weather is quite warm the mercury

Rah!l for Concord;
"judgment!" '
Quite an uninteresting game of base
ball was played at the Smithdeal park
last Tuesday between the Concord (so-
called) second nine and a second nine
composed of tbe kids of Salisbury. This
was the third game played by these
clnb3, and as usual Concord came out
ahead. The game was Called at four
o'clock, with the Concord team in the
field. Salisbury made one run aud then
took the field. When time wasT called
'Go wan drew first blood by hitting Pence
in the mouth with the first ball he threw,
and after two runs made by the Concords
they wer6 retired. The game was pret
ty close up to the 5th inning when Con
cord scored 11 runs which seemed to de
moralize our boys, and they were not
able to catch them again.
The game lasted two hours and ten
minutes, and the score stood 25 to 16 in
favor of Concord. II. C. Williams acted
as umpire.
Of the Salisbury club, Brown distin
guished himself by catching two pretty
balls in left field and making a home run.
Richwine covered himself with glory by
kicking against the umpire's decision,
and two, whom we will not name, honor
ed themscves all over by making a clean
score of outs.

In response to these orders they at
once beganto shoot at the moon, keep

and exhausting all the ammunition. As

Judge Fowle's Heccption at Taylcrs
