THE FINEST GAME.
Che
Excellent tjmme orBall Ine Game
Warn trillion! tlrrnra On Ihe Part ef
Concord,
Not a oetter game has been
played by oar boys this season than
was played at Uberiw, 8. 0, on
Wednesday, July 20th. In fact,
too, ioaar game has not been
played by our boya.
A telegram was received by tbe
Daily Standard about 7.30 that
evening from Captain Oldham. It
must bave been a ver exciting
game np nntil the seventh inning,
as their score was even octil that
time.
But what makes us still more
proud of oar boya ia tbe faot that
not a single error is obarged against
our boys. This ia "playing ball,"
when a team p!aya a game of nine
innings, and does not have an error
obarged against them. This means
that no player made a fault.
At 12 o'clock noon todiy (Thurs-.
day) The Standard reosived the
following special telegram from
Captain Oldham;
The game Wednesday waa by far
tbe most interesting played by tbe
Concord aggregation . The Erst in
ning gave Conoord one ran and
M alloy made two runs for Cheraw
uvans struck out one or our men
also.
A two base hit waa made by Buns
son, the catcher from the now des
funct Southern League, and a tingle
by Saunderi It waa here that tbe
rooters changed Concord's name to
"dor qnered."
In the third Inning Rogers crossed
the plate, tieinj the score, where it
remained until the "fire works"
opened in the seventh inning, when
five hits netted as many runs.
Ten nun went to ths hat ia one
inung, after which Saunders retired
in fayor of Evans, who will twirl
today (Thursday-). Cheraw scored
two more runs in tbe eighth inning
Cheraw was very lucky in knowing
bow to manage tbe 4 by 8 grounds.
Three lucky two-baggera fell over
the light Sold fence much to the
chagrin of our right field, who
could easily bave jumped tbe fence
and caught tbe ball, bat of oourse
didn't think they would let it count
Concord was unlucky in the una
intentional doable plays with tbe
baBea full. Altogether the boys
"played boll," making 9 runs, 16
hits and no errors, while Cheraw
made 4 ruoa, 8 hits and 4 errors.
Concord shoa'd be espeoially
proud of her team'a work since not
a man had slept more than two
boars the night before on aocount
of heat, utorqiitoes and an early
train.
F.she- s.arted in to pitch, but it
ai thoa.'ht that speed would be
m re tffective, and Billy's desire
was ratified. The result is gratify
in jr. Mangum will (ffhiate at bis
own funeral this af'ercoon.

The Republican from Natchez,

the charge of murdering Lawrence
Brinson. The building and the
body of the prisoner were burned.
Tbe body of tbe unfortunate man

A FARMING 1E3T..
rate Account of Bis Farm and Rhowe
Mr. Charlie Dry, of this plaoe,
who for the last year has been tend
ing the old Fair Grounds In wheat,
haa kept a strict aooount of all hia
expenses in tending the crop and
has taken an inventory of all of bis
resoaroes.
Tba land consisted of 14 tores and
following ia hia eipenses itemized as
regards the different kinds of work
Plowing and harrowing 15
days at $1 per day f 16.00

Hia inventory resulted as follows

Value of straw 15 00
160.75
Less all expenses 91.00
Am t made on investment 59 75
Tba aboye investment averaged
then a profit of about $4.25 per acre,
which is a good profit, besides the
fact mutt be taken into considera
tion that hands here in Concord
coat him a great deal more per day
than he could getan equally aa good

hand can he obtained in the country
at a good macy places for the small
sum of $7.00 per month and board
ilia hauling waa also hired, and of
course cost considerable, bat after
all of these expenses, which were
necessarily high, s.lll be netted
gain of $4.25 per aore. Another
fact is also to be considered and that
is that four aores of this tract were
very poor, having jielded scarcely
anthing.
Mr, Dry is very well pleated with
hia experimental farming and will
very probably nee tbe past score as

The Game Called Off On Account of

luar Cheraw Haa Ihe Game.
Our piople were held in suspense
until this (Fiiday) morning in re
gard to tba game played Thursday
evening at Cheraw. Thb Staxdabd
was expecting a tpeoial telegram
bat failed to get it, owing to the
faot that oar boya had to go oyer to
Wadesboro yet that night
Early this (Friday) morning the
following telegram came to Thi
Standard from Captain Oldham:
"Ws jumped the game at the end
of the third inning on account of
rotten umpiring. Roast after roast
on both balls and bates proved too
much. The umpire oalled two balks
when the man was caught eaoh time
playing iff of the first base. Oje of
our playera was put out of tbe game
for protesting against the decisions
of the umpire. The score stood 10
to 4 in oar favor when tbe game
was jumped. We knocked five two
baggers in the first inning .
"The following is the fcore: Che
raw, 4 runs, 6 hits and 4 errors.
Conoord, 10 runs, 12 bits and 2
errors."
The above telegram waa sent
from Wadesboro, showing that the
boys went over that night.
In this game, it ia very plain that
Cheraw has nothing to be proud of,
though technically speaking they
have the game. Captain Oldham, as
he says, found that to many unjust
deciaions on the part of the umpire
waa too much for them, and that it
would be better to atop than toler
ate such, even though Cheraw can
olaim that the game is hers, hence
did not let his men go out in tbe
diamond when the umpire told thvm
to " play ball."
GEN. GORDON RE ELEOTED.
Great Eathneiaam and Loyally at tbe

Gen. Gordon has again been
ohosen as oommandernin'-chief of
the United Confederate Veterans'
Association in its present reunion
The grand old man denies that he
merits auch confidence and esteem
from the Veterans, but his denials
are drowned by outbursts of enthu
siasm for him, and he contents
gracefully.
At the organization nearly all the
oflioers were re-elected.
Gen. Stephen D Lee, the seoond
(n command, offered the following
resolutions, which were most heartily
adopted and which Gen. Uordon
himself only regretted that he had
not formulated himself:
'Whereas, Tbe United States of
America are at present engaged in a
war with Spain in the interest of
human liberty, and
"Whereas, Our comrades and our
sins are members of that elorioue
army and navy, the achievements of
whioh are now exoiting tbe wonders
of mankind, therefore, be it
"Resolved, Thrt we, tbe survivors
of the United Confederate Veterans,
pledge our loyalty and the hearty
ooperation of tbe organization in
this crisis of affairs, to stand ready
at all times with men and money,
respective of political affiliations,
to support the President of tbe
United States as oommanderin
chief of our army and navy, until
n honorable peace has been con
qnered from the enemy."
The report of the Battle Abbey
committee, recommending Richmond
as the site of the proposed Battle
Abbey precipitated some discussion
on account of the interest which
varioua localities throughout this
section have taken in the matter,
but tbe excitement ended in the
adoption of the committee's report.
The entertainment Thursday
night in honor of the maids of honor
for tbs different States and camps
waa a most brilliant affair. It is
estimated that 12,000 people were
present
The reunions will probably be
held in Ootober hereafter as tbe
Jaly heat is too oppressive.
Mrs- Jackson and Miss Winnie
Davis are at the reunion, but Mrs.
Davis could not attend.

Playa del JSste, Cubo, July 21.
The following is the official account
ef the latest naval victory, that at
Manzanillo, modestly told by Coins
maider Todd, of tbe United States
gun-boat, Wilmington, in his report
to Admiral Sampson : ''At 7 o'clock
on the morning of July 18tb, the
vessels on blockade duty In this
vicinity, the Wilmington, Helena,
Scorpion, Hist, Hornet, Wampas
tucket and Osceola, approaohed tbe
harbor of Manzanillo, from the
weitward . At balf past 7, tbe Wil
mington and Helena entered the
northern channel toward the city,
the Scorpion and Oiceola the mids
channel and tbe Hist, Hornet and
Wampatuok the south channel, the
movement of the vessels being so
timed aa to bring them within effec
tive range of ,the abipping at about
tbe same moment.
At 7 60 fire was opened on the
shipping and after a deliberate fire
lasting about two and a half hours,
three Spanish transports, El Gloria,
Jose Garcia and La Parima Conceps
cion, were burned and destroyed.
The pontoon, whioh was the harbor
guard and store ship probably for
ammunitior, was burned and blown
up. Three gun-boats were destroyed.
One other was driven ashore and
sunk and a third was driven ashore
and is believed to have been dis.
abled.'.
"Tbe firing was maintained at a
range which is believed to be beyond
the range of the shore artillery . It
was continued until, after a general
closing in, the shore batteriea opened
fire at a comparatively abort range,
when the ships were recalled, Ihe
object of the expedition having been
accomplished, and the Ideas of the
commanderain-obief being carried
out, aa I unlerstood them, to destroy
the enemy's shipping, but not to en
gage the field batteries or forts .
'No casualties occurred on board
any of our vessels. Great care was
taken in directing the fire that as
little damage as possible Bhould be
done to the oity itself, and so far as
could be observed, little, if any, was
done."

years of age, beat his wife oonsidnr

it seems had threatened to kill her,
he then went in his room and got
his pistol. He came down the

After running to the house and
getting bia pistol, Mr. Pink Mieen

THE RESIGNATION
Iff J. J. lAyeiir aa Member er t'ull
cord Graded Ncbool Board.
"It being apparent to mo thnt I
can no longer serve the publio or
my constituents in Ward 1 as a
member of tbe School Hoard, I
have decided to resign. " M
The Hoard as elected was pure
ly icpresentativ, but as it is now
constituted it only records the
wishes of two of its members with
out regard for the public or tbe
vt ill of the people. The action of
the present board iu the election
of a Superintendent for next year
nbows their complete inconsist
ency and their weak romembrance
or their own former actions and
words last year when Trof. Cur
tice wavproposed forSuporintend
ent. The two members ot the board
who now control its actions gave
as their only reason for not voting
for him that he was a northern
man and therefore would not suit
us. Also that the salary would
haye to bo raised one hundred
dollars above the usual limit. In
the receut election ot Trof. Colrr,
the inconsistency, to put it mild
ly, is plainly shown.
Prof. Curtice has been teach
ing iu the South with line success
for ciht or ten years. Prof.
Coler comes direct friu Ohio
with no evidence that ho ever saw
anything of the South. The sal
ary was at the same time raised
from $810 to 11,000, with the per
mission, ot doubtful lcgaliiy, to
run a High School .Department in
such a way that he is to bave all
the proceeds from it. Natuarally
the Superintendent would give
much of his time and attention to
this department, and naturally,
&Iso the other business of tho
school, that part instituted and
paid tor by tho public, will enfler.
All this, however, wheu there is
already iu the town a well con
ducted, progressive, high school
of recognized standing.
The former superintendent, Prof.
E B Lewis, deserved and had every
reason to expect, a ra election. The
Graded School had made great
progress. Its work was systematic
and harmonious. The work of each
teacher and grade for each month is
filed in the recorda. Tabulated
statements of attendance, eto, were
filed in the records, for the tiret
time iu the history of the school.
Tbe course of study was widened
and systematized .
There was no desire by the public
that a change should be made.
Ihere was no charge brought
against the former superintendent.
The school board has endorsed every
offioial aotion of his, lie haa cur
ried out every measure proposed by
the board, and hs waa positively aa
surcd of his re-election by two of
the three mambeis of the bnard up
to the date of tbe eleetion of bis
successor.
To have failed to ro-Jut uuder
the foregoing circumstances waa ab
sol.i'e'y nnjustifi'iVe, Irjt it was
outrageous to have donu so ufier
keeping him waiting two monttis
under the positive statement that he
was to remain, and then fni! to re
e'ect b m. Ilia f miily deserved
some coneideratiou The board had
perfect knowledge of u!l the cir
cumstances two mouths ate They
knew no U'ore whrnthry fiual.'y
aoted, and they bud kept ij.m from
feenring tone other position during
the whole period wheu suot places
are filled. It has appeared to be a
deliberate an I systematic effjrt, not
only to keep him out of the place in
qneition but of all other p9euions as
well. .
I do not care to bear any respon
sibility for euoh actions, in which I
neither bad nor could have any
part, and in which the withes ol
half the town are virtually not only
ignored but opposed, and that with
no excuse given or implied, but tbat
of pr j udice.
In my opinion the only hope for
tlie publio schools here is to elect
meu to :lie board whs Will cjnsult
only the needs of the children in
stead of their buaiue:" rela'lOus in

Friday evening Mr. Fr;ink Vua
derburg, who lives near the deput,
killed another one ol those long,
lean, lank blue craDes, whicb
measured 5 feet and i inches high
when stretched out, and 6 feet arid
2 inches across its wings. This is
somewhat of a crane to be killed
inside ol ourcorporate limits.
