A CHANGE OF SUPERINTENDENTS.
PHILIPPINE FIGHTERS RETURN.
Mr. JC. Mathes, of Durham, to Fill the
Vacancy Caused By Mr. L. D. Duyal's
ResignationMr, Chas. W. Suther to
Fill the Position at the Cabarrus
Mill. , y :
As previously noted Mr. L D
Duval has resigned- as superin
tendent of the Cannon mill,
-which resignation will take
effect about the first of Sep
tember. Mr. J C Mathes, of Durham,
vho is at present superintendent
of a mill there, has sent in his
resignation at that place and will
lill the position here made vacant
by" Mr. Duval. It will be re
membered that Mr. Mathes was
so badly scalded during the
accident some months ago in
Durham, at which time Mr. W
H Branson was killed. Mr.
Mathes has for many years been
in the" mill work and is a man of
competency.
Mr, W B Cole, now superin
tendent of the Cabarrus mill, has
resigned his position to accept
the superintendcy of a mill at
"Rockingham. It is much more
preferable to Mr. Cole to fill a
" similar position at Rockingham
on account of it being the )iome
.of his mother.
Mr. Chas. W Suther, who has
charge of the spinning room in
No. 4 mill of the Odell Company,
will take the super in tendency of
the Cabarrus mill. Mr. Gole's
resignation - takes effect about
the 15th of this month.
We, together with numbers,
regret to lose these two superin
v t endents from our midst as both
.are men to be desired. We gladly
welcome Mr. Mathes to our
town, and heartily congratulate
Mr. Suther on his promotion.
They're Contesting This Afternoon.
Charlotte's team arrived" this
morning and are on our diamond
this afternoon facing our red,
white and blue. There, is reason
to believe that Charlotte will
give us a good fight but our
rdavers see no reason for 'our
defeat. Not a very large dele
gation came along with the boys
to do the cheering from the
grand stand, but tnougnt, as is
risrht, that srood rlavers tav no
attention to grand stand playing.
The iollowms players com-
pose the nine : Robinson 2b,

Had Troubles of His Own. . .1
On Tuesday Mr. Rich Hold-
brooks, a resident of the west
ern part of our county walked
all the way from Charlotte, and
in a hurry Jtoo.
The cause of his hurried ex
ercise was the fact that his
wife, together with her sister had
left him. He spied them in the
woods near here and after
Deputy Townsend was seen
coming the whole affair was
mutually adjusted and the
troubles of the wifeless man
were no more.

from a frightful death. In telling
of it he says: "I was taken with
typhoid fever that ran into pneu

even sit up in bed. Nothing
helped me.- I expected soon to
die of consumption, wben I
heard of Dr. King'a. New Dis

lief. I continued to use it, and
and now am, well and strong. I
can't say too much in its .praise."
