The dedication o the Cannons--.
iileMK chapel, Sunday evcnii.,
was. an interesting service and
largely attended by people from all
churelus of the town.
The singing was inspiring. The
local chuir was assisted by Messrs T
L lioss, J F Iloneycutt, J A Black
welder, K P Mangum, J C Fink, L
1) Duval and II P Benson of up
town. Miss Maude Kobbins, in her
iv n inimitable grace and .-sweetness,
sang a solo.
lr. Fay nc, of the Presbyterian
church, Kev. Simpson, Ilex. J J
li nn and Dr. Bays sat upon the ros
trum. The official board of the Central
LI E church occupied chairs around
the pulpit; and Mr. L D Duval of
the building committee read an in
teresting report The cost was
nearly $S00; the present indebted
ness is $2S,50 and the assets $1T2,
00, making a balance due of $o6,50,
which sum is guaranteed by several
members of the church.
Di. Payne delivered a fervent
prayer, scripture read by Rev. Renn,
hymn read by Dr. Bays, who made a
few remarks.
Presiding Elder Renn then preach
ed an in.tiuctive sermon from the
41 verse of the sixth chapter of 2nd
Chronicles.
Esq. C G Montgomery then pre
sented the chapel to the Conference
and Rev. Renn, according to the
Discipline, received it
Six weeks ago there was a vacant
spot in Canuonsville near the cotton
mills today a splendid, neat and
commodious chapel graces that spot,
It is but an additional evidence of
the indomitable energy of Rev. Dr.
II W.Bays, pastor of the Central M
E church He did the engineering
and he did it admirably. The
Standard congratulates the cong
gation upon its having such an ear
nest and untiring Pastor, whose
whole life seems given to church
work. The congregation at Cans

gratulated upon it3 new house of

The crowd at the dedication Suns

Iavlfl Oinlloy Flcll on Cleveland.
In November Forum Mr. David
Dudley Field aunounctd that he
would vote for Cleveland. Assuming
that the candidates of the two parties
were equally sincere and patriotic
the distinguished jurist and publicist
declared that his choice wa3 deter
mined by the policy which each re
persented. "In my view." he said,
"Mr. Harrison represents paternal
government; Mr. Cleveland con
stitutional government; Mr. Harrison
industrial monopoly, Mr. Cleveland
industrial freedom; Mr. Harrison
holds, or his party holds for him,
that the government should take
care of the people; Mr. Cleveland
holds, and hi3 party holds, that the
people should take care of themselves
and their government."
In support of these definitions Mr,
Field cited ths McKinley act as a
sufficient example. He declared that
act to be the "most defiant venture
of rronopoly the country ha3 ever
witnessed. Even in its title it is
deceptive In professing "to reduce
the revenue and'equalize dntus on
imports," while in fact it replealed
the duty on articles the monopolists
didn't care for and maintained ex
cessive duties on articles they did
care for. Mr. Field also took high
ground against the constitutional
authority of CoDgress "to lay a tax
in name in order to prevent a tax in
fact"

A GREAT GAME FOR BOY3.
forty Tenrx Ago "Pi-git-" WftR a lV.iull
Sport All Over the Country.
The long list of frill and winter pas
times which are imluleeil in by the
yonncror people nml the Fportinj? fra
ternity contain one which, although
not so universally popular ns many
other sports, in many sections is fust
gaining favor as an interesting outdoor
gamp, and that is "ppggy."
There are but very few men of today
who cannot well remember the countless
number of broom, hoe and rake han
dles and wheel spokes that were sacri
fieeil in their earlier days for the pur
pose of indulging in this all absorbing
.'iine.
Tin- g.-iine of today ditTers in but few
ivspe.-ts from that of tin.' middle aged
man barefooted and Knickerbocker
Jav.
The paraphernalia of the game yeare
jo consisted of a round piece of hard
wood about five inches hi length and
an inch in diameter, sharpened to a
blunt point at both ends, known as
peggy," and a round stick of about
two feet in length and of the same
diameter as the peggy.
The game was commenced by "cock-
ing'' the peggy in a groove in the
ground, made by pounding the peggy
into the yielding soil with the stick.
The contestant lucky enough to ob
tain first "licks" strikes the upturned
point of the peggy with the stick, caus
ing it to fly into the air.
lie then endeavored to strike the fly
ing piece of wood while in motion;
whenever it happened to drop, the same
operation was repeated until the player
bad three '"licks." (In the last two,
however, be was not allowed to "cock"
the peggy, but he must raise it from
the ground wherever or in whatever
position it might be.)
The distance was then mentally cal
culated or measured carefully b?
trides, and the opponent was given a
certain number of leaps to cover the
distance in.
Should he fail to doit in the required
number, so many points (that is, one
for each leap) were credited to the
player.
Should the leaper, however, fill the
contract and cover the distance in the
required number of Jumps or leaps,
then the player had gained nothing by
his "licks," or inning. His opponent
ould then take bis turn with the
etick, and so on until either contestant
had secured a certain number ot points,
varying from 100 to 1,000, the first one
to reach the specified number being the
wipner.
In the game of today the "peggy"'
itself is made of a round piece of hard
wood and shaped much like a coue. It
is not longer than 2 1-2 inches and is
nearly as wide in diameter.
The stick used is round, but flattened
at the striking end, and much resem
bles the head end of an ax handle.
The flip, or start, is made from a flat
rock or piece of marble. The same
rules and requirements govern as it
olden times, with the exception of men
uring the distance instead of leaping.
The distance covered by each player
is recorded, and the party securing the
specified number first, generally 1,000
feet is declared tho winner.
There Is considerable science brought
into play in tho game, especially in
raising the peggy. The ends are so
blunt that a greenhorn might pound
until be was tired without raising the
'peggy" an inch off tho plate.
Then, again, a player quite often
in striking down fails to even bit the
peggy. Each sucli failure counts as a
lick," and many times one contestant
takes an inning and does not eveca stir
the little joker.
One advantage in the game is that
as many as desire can play, although
not frequently more than two or three
play in the same contest Boston
Globe.
When leather Was Money.
Leather was very early used as a cur
rency, the Komans employing it lor
this purpose before either gold, silver
or brass came into common use. His
tory is full of references showing that
jeather was used by the ancients as a
sort of circulating medium of exchange
It is said on good authority that so
late as during the reign of Louis XII
of France the country became so im
poverished, and as a consequence
money was so scarce, that little pieces
of leather, with a small silver nail
driven through each, were in general
use as money. Some few specimens of
this leather money are still in existence.
