MARION IS VICTIM IN SECOND GAME - Moore's splendid pitching with the aid of the big stick and air tight fielding of his teammates brought home the bacon from Marion last Friday. Both teams scored in the first, frame, Forest City getting three when Ayers, Smart, Moss and Ted der all hit safely, and Marion scored two on hits by McCall, Baldwin and "Wilson. Forest City scored two more in the second when Madison Moss walked and came in on Smart's hit. Smart crossed the rubber when Dor sey hit for a double. Marion failed to score in the second but made three runs in the third after Forest City had piled up a four-run lead. Forest City scored again in the fourth and sixth running the score up to nine. Marion scored one in the fifth j and one in the seventh. The eighth i and ninth was a pitchers battle with I three up and three Wown.. It looked in the last of the ninth as if Marion had started their old winning rally. With the strong end up the first man hit safely then the next man hit to j Watkins for a double play. The third man fanned and it was all over. | Moore pitched a good game for the locals, working himself out of sev j eral holes. Smart, Tedder and Moss | were wielders of the big stick. This was the sixth straight victory for the boys after their losses to Shelby and Gaffney. Bostic and Ellenboro will be played this week there. Lineup: Wilkie Glen S. S.

Davis Catcher Moore Norton Pitcher DUST ROSE BUSHES TO PREVENT DISEASE j Raleigh, May 10.—Powdery mil dew and blotch, two very common diseases of the rose, now beginning to appear, may be controlled effec tively by dusting with sulphur-arse nate made by mixing 19 parts of fine ly ground sulphur to one part of dry powdered arsenate of lead. This dust material amounts almost | to a specific for the two rose diseases. The material should be thoroughly mixed before applying and dusted on the plants with a dust gun. If a dust gun is not available one may use the j home-made device of a cloth sack on ; a pole. | Dr. F. A. Wolf, plant disease in | vestigator for the North Carolina ■ Experiment Station, recommends * that the dust be put on when the ; plants are damp with dew or rain, j Several applications at intervals of • a few days may be necessary to bring the disease under control but best | success always follows where the ! dusting is started with the first ap i pearance of the disease. Dr. Wolf states that the Rambler i group of roses is subject to mildew but it is not destructive to bush roses; on the other hand, blotch is j confined almost entirely to bush roses I j and nearly all ramblers are free from • I its attack. The mildew is character - j ized by a frosty or powdery coating ' j on the leaves, young stems and fiow- ; 1 er buds. The affected leaves become ► | curled and twisted and drop off pre >l maturely. The affected buds either II fail to open or the flowers are im ► l perfect. Blotch shows itself by the ► presence of large black patches on I the leaves. As the blotches develop, ► the leaves become light green, then ► yellow and finally drop off. This will * so weaken the vigor of the plant that ► few flowers will be formed. ► "Dusting is better than spraying." ► says Dr. Wolf, "because the liquid I sprays discolor the foliage and flow ► ers with the dried coating."

On one end was a disc spear, with a shank fast ened in a socket in one end of the stick. This spear and disc was made of steel and had a keen edge and point. On the other end of the stick or javelin, was a kind of a hook, much in the shape of a briar hook, and it, too, was sharp and my friend said they were called Confederate "pikes" and said the boys said they would "cut goin' and a comin' ". There were but few guns in the South at the outbreak of the war. But they did have the fighting blood of the Romans and showed it on the field of battle. But the marching had stopped. The command is to disband, and the sol diers are going home and so are Tom and I. I have referred to the speaker of the day but have not given his name and will not, but everybody goes to Asheville, N. C., which is in the land of the sky, if they do not they should, for here is one of the beauty spots of the United States. Now when you go, for you will some day', when you get up to Pack Square in the city, just look on the base of a granite shaft and behold, the name of the speaker of the day. In the sixties he was first in the hearts of the peo ple; his memory is sacred to them today.
