Correction Apology. :
We are exceedingly sorry that,
in our noting on Wednesday that
Dr. Young had taken two of his
patients to the hospital at Phila
delphia, we used phraseology
that might be construed as neg
lect on the part of the parents of
the unfortunate little Louis
Swink. We simply wrote im
pressions we had gotten that the
limb had become stiff from some
lack of application of joint exer
cise that is a part of the most
skilful treatment of an injured
joint, without for a moment in
tending our words to bear a con
struction other than that of pure
misfortune without fault. Our
chagrin is the deeper from the
fact that Mrs. Swink, whose
"wifely ministrations had stood for
months between her afflicted
husband and the grave and that
when she had seen her devotions
bearing the nch fruits of resto
ration this very grievous acci
dent to little Louis came as a
second cloud over her home, tax
ing again her strength and ,hor
spirits we say that our chagrin
is the deeper that she should feel
that our statement might lead a
single' reader to doubt her due
care of her child. Such " was
furthest from our purpose, as it
was furthest from our convic
tions. TheJBakery Pays Homage.
Mr. Will Johnson, proprietor
of the Concord bakery, had in
his show window Wednesday
evening a beautiful piece of work:
as a tribute to the States ville
Concord baseball .game. It. was
a fine cake, on the top of which
were the words, "Baseball, Con
cord 18. Statesville 3," also bear
ing the date. The baseball as
sociation here admired tit so much
that they purchased it and will
probably present it to their de
feated opponents.
So Court Yet,
This is the fourth morning
that, Sheriff Peck has opened
court and adjourned it until next
morning on account of Judge
Robinson being detained at
Asheboro on the big railroad
case. Each morning our farmers
from different parts of the county
are here to await the opening of
court only to be relieved until
the next morning. .
Baby Born With Set of Teeth.
A two-months-old baby born
with teeth was brought to the
office of Dentist Mapp, in Brook
lyn, recently to have its front
teeth extracted so that the
mother, Mrs. Christopher Quinn,
of No. 444 Bushwick avenue,
could nurse the child with more
personal comfort to herself. Dr.
Hasbrouck, a prominent dentist;
says that such cases, while, rare,
are not so uncommon as to cause
much of a stir.
; 'Teeth in' children at birth',"
said he, are usually due to some
constitutional trouble of the
parents. Measles and scarlet
fever often cause teeth to come
in an irregular way They are
usually the milk teeth. Of,
course, they cause the mother
much annoyance, but they are
easily extracted."
