It is believed that, Deing a stranger in that 'section, he was thought by the guilty persons to have teen a prohobition officer, and that his Confederate badge possibly tend ed further to mislead the would-be murderers. Latest reports as to his condition say that he seems to be recovering favorably at this time. A - ALBEMARLE NOVELTY STORE TO PUT ON ANOTHER BIG SALE. The people nf Stanly and adjoining counties have lea'-ned that the sales frequently put mi at the Albemarle Noveltv Store are sales in the real sense of the word, and that whe.i Mtf- Ewen advert prices, it means that his store has cut prices. In our Tuesday's issue this concern will carry a page ad announ cing some startling bargains in all kinds of aluminum and tinware, and in fact, most everything in the line carried by this progressive 5, 10 and 25c. store. As the canning season is now on, we are sure that it will be of interest to our readers to note the date of this sale and to carefully ex amine the page ad in our Tuesday's issue. Watch for it. The game started at four o'clock with dark clouds hovering over the playing field, and with all indications that a downpour of rain would halt the festivities before they were well under way. Every available seat in the grand-stand and bleachers was filled, and the spectators were stand ing three deep along the edges of the playing field. Kress toed the mound for Albe mrale, faced by English, the umpire tossed out a new ball, called play, and the game was on. Monroe scored in the initial inning when, after English struck out, Has ty, (commonly palled "Bull") hit a long double. The umpire ruled that Hasty did not touch first in his mad dash, and called him out when the ball was relayed back to first, hut was over-ruled, and threw up his job and shot at it. Inman struck out, with Hasty on second, but Sto ver hit solidly to center and Hasty scored. Pande-moinum broke loose among the Monroe adherents, and straw hats were not worth as much WILL EXTEND THEIR LINES WESTERN STANLY ENJOYS GOOD LOCAL TALFNT PLAY Norwood, N. C, June 29.

The flag is passing by!" rmmrnmfmmmsmmmmmtm wmmmmm it soared, with English in hot pursuit. Not a sound was heard as Hatley raced madly to first, but as he round ed second the ball went over Eng lish's head, and then bedlam broke loose. Around the bases sped Hat ley with the fleetness of a deer, and rounded third as English picked up the ball. Not thinking that Hatley SOUTHERN RAILWAY STARTS SUMMER TOURIST SERVICE. Asheville, N.

The sum mer tourist season has been opened by the Southern Railway System with the inaugauration of the "Land of the Sky Special," giving over-night service between Asheville and the field, and Hatley never paused at the hot corner, but galloped on home with a 1.

A pay station will be in stalled in the Rocky River Springs hotel, also one at Cottonville, and a third at Aquadale. Private phones of course may also be connected to these lines. Thi3 is a move to assist in the development of that section, and as soon as the business justifies it the local company contemplates still further extensions in that section. A pleasant occasion was that Sun day at the home of Mr. Thos. W. Col son, when, with his family and near relatives present, the 70th anniversary of his birthday was observed. Mr. Colson is three score years and ten only in the number of years through which he has lived.In viewpoint, spirit, and physical activity he is a much younger man. His friends wish for him many more returns of the hap py occasion. Coincident with his birthday in point of month and day was that of his daughter, Mrs. J. L. Parks, of Charlotte. She was among those present, and the others at tending were therefore doubly pleas ed in being able to extend loving wish es to them both on the same occas ion. Pee Dee Lodge No. 150, A. F. & the parts were well taken, and the performance as a whole showed the result of thorough preparation and real talent. The audience was warm in expressing its delight and ap proval. It would be unjust to praise any particular members of the cast with out including them all, because ev ery one did creditable work, but without question the one outstanding star of the vening was little Jamie Green, who played the part of Melis sa, mischievous daughter of the hard working Mrs. Briggs. Jamie seem ed not so much to play this part as to live it, and each time she came 00 the stage the audience was carried away by the naturalness and versatil ity of her acting. The play was followed by a can tata, "How Can We Mortgage the Farm?" sung in a very beautiful and touching manner by Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Temple, assisted by Maggie Eudy, Mollie Coley and Huston Eu dy. After this a score of beautifully decorated and well-filled boxes were sold at auction. A fortunate circum stance provided an able auctioneer in the person of Mr. J. A. Little, of Albemarle, a former resident of Lo cust. The boxes sold well, the bids never lagging from first to last, and a sum of something over twenty dol- A.

Monroe supporters begged for a hit, but Lowe fanned in the pinch, mak ing a total of three strikeouts for Kress. With Albemarle up for the first time, Hatley, Smithdeal and Wagner all grounded out, Westledge pitching only ten times during the inning. In Monroe's second half Williams struck out, Westredge popped up, English secured a long three-bagger, but was left on third when Hasty swung mightily at a fast-breaking inshoot and popped one to Smithdeal DEATH OF MISS MARTHA RUS- SELL joicing that followed. Only in a town where baseball is meat and drink to the fans can produce such an exhibition. A purse was made up for Hatley, and his appearance at the bat thereafter was the signal for much loud cheering. Westledge was not perturbed by this home run, for the next three bat ters, Smithdeal, Wagner and Wood, were thrown out at first. English led oft once more in Mon ritory than ever before an.l all Western North Carolina resorts are expecting record crowds. Through sleeping car lines have been establish ed to Asheville from Chicago and St. Louis in addition to which the lines from New Orleans, Mobile, Mont gomery, 'Birmingham, and Chatta nooga have been re-established for the summer.
