which was found to add quite
much to his health. On Friday
afternoon a telegram came from
Washington stating that he had
received an appointment as first
lieutenant in the provisional
regular army for the Philippine
war.
Mr. Hill is "to be congratulated
on securing his appointment,
which was no doubt granted him
cm account of his popularity and
ability while in service as cap
tain of Company L in the First
North Carolina regiment. The
dispatch did not state to what

CONCORD,
They Were Too Rough, Entirely.
It was a srjlendid battle that
was fought Friday afternoon be-
tween Charlotte's "Kougn xu-
ders " and our "Wheeler.s Uav-
airy." The Riders were iounci
to be not rough, but tender too
tender to hit and catch balls like
the cavalrymen, who could
mount and dismount most easily.
j
They mounted upon the Riders
and gave them a defeat of 7 to 1.
Neither side scored, until me
innine. Tom Smith
k ocked a three-basrfirer. Our
team made three runs in the
sixth inning, one in the seventh,
and three in the ninth. Uhar-
run was made by
Emmitt Gray in tlie ninth inning.
liOV(i Withers, of the Charlotte
team, did some nice fielding dur-
insr the game, but several of the
team were found wantiug when
it comes to playing ball.

Is the laundry hard on your goods ?
Some are. Examine your goods as
carefully -when you send them to us as
when you receive them back again and
you will find that we sew. up many a
Tip, mend many a button hole, put new
neck bands on shirts not too badly
worn (when requested), and in many
ways try to prolong the use of your
linen. One trial is not a test. Often
damage has been done in previous
laundering and we get the blame. Give
us your steady patronage and we will
guarantee your, linen to last longer than
when done at many other laundries.

A Better Score the Sedond Day. )
On Thursday the Kings Moun
tain team defeated our boys con
siderably, but on Friday our
boys stuck to them to the last
and met defeat only by 'one run,
the score being 6 to 5 against us.
Probably we will yet make that
back on them next Tuesday and
Wednesday, when they come
here.
Our boys will play today to a
good large , crowd, of course, in
Charlotte.
Last fall I sprained my left
hip while handling some heavy
boxes. The doctor I called on
said at first that it was a slight
strain and would soon be well,
bpfc it grew worse and the doctor
thensaid I had rheumatism. It
continued to grow worse and I
could hardly get around to work.
I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try
Charrberlain's Pain Balm. I
tiled it and one-half of a 50-cent
bottle cured me entirely. I now
recommend it to all my friends.
