COMPLETELY SHUT OUT.
Charlotte Now at Rest After Meeting
Her Fate Again Friday-She Tried
Her Best But Nerer Did Get to Home
Base -The Closest Game on the Char
lotte Diamond This Season.
Last year nothing pleased our
people, more and no game excited
our interest as when we went up
against Mountain Island, but
this season it has turned and
Charlotte gets the interest and
enthusiasm but that's all they
do get. Completely shut out
was Charlotte in the game Fri-
dav. the score resulting: nr a
score of 2 to 0.
But one thing must be said for
Charlotte her boys certainly
"did play ball well, if they, hadn't
it would have been worse for
them. This was undoubtedly
the finest game of ball Latta
park has had this season and
one of the best in this part of
the State.
The Charlotte Observer gives
Concord the following:
' 'Poor base running and three
costly errors lost the game. It
was a battle of Titans, and Con
cord may well feel proud of hav
ing proved the stronger.
"Concord can everlastingly
run bases. Her pitcher -Latti
mer was her long suit Friday.
He is a son of the late Dr. Latti-
mer, of Davidson College, and
was a member of the Atlantic
League. The management
wanted him to pitch against the
Cuban Giants, but he refused to
play with negroes and retired
from the league. Mr. Lattimer
is teaching school near Boston,
but he was" born a Southerner,
and a Southerner in mind and
heart he will be until he dies.
" 'Regrets,' as the score card
called Roerers. stepped up first
for Cpncord, and he knocked a
beatiful two-bagger. An error
of Hunter's gave him the chance
of kissing the i home plate, which
he did 'midst the plaudits by
mouth, feet and hands of the
large number of rooters in the
grand stand. Mangum followed
him. but erot no further than
second base, his successors Le
Grande, Reed and Graves, going
out. While Concord made two
runs and Charlotte none, she had
only two men left on bases to
Charlotte's four Mangum in the
first and Card in the sixth. 'So
you see' the game was no pudden
no lead-pipe cinch, after all.
Concord's second run was scored
in the seventh by Reed. He hit
I safe to first, went to second by a
1 fumble of centre fielder and
I scored on a deep fly of Caldwell's
i a ny too deep for the fielder to
f handle in time to prevent the
runner scoring:.
"Charlotte did well, but Con
cord did better. She deserves
all praise for capturing: such
a trophy as Friday's game,
and Charlotte accords it to her
cheerfully and gladly."
The score was as follows :

BURNED TO THE GROUND.
In the Silent Hours of Night Mr. Abner
Misenheimer Awakes and 7 Finds His
House On Fire Everything Lost No
Insurance. ' v ? ?i:
A, heavy financial loss rests
upon Mr. Abner Misenheimer,
who lives on the Concord and
Gold Hill road about three miles
from here in No. 5 township.
On Friday night between the
hours of 1 and 2 o'clock. Mr.
Misenheimer awoke and saw
smoke coming from the kitchen.
The alarm was quickly given and
an effort made to save the mam
part of the building by ; letting
the kitchen fall from its pillows
but too late and the entire build
ing with the adjoining kitchen
was entirely consumed. A few
things of scarcely any value
were saved. All of the furniture,
clothing, etc. was consumed be
longing to Mr. Misenheimer and
wife and their son-in-law, Mr.
Scott, and wife.
There was no insurance on the
buildings. The well house also
was burned.
Thus being deprived of a home
and even wearing apparel, these
people are deserving of sympathy
and pity.
Some Thoughts Rarely Noticed. ,
Thinking that there was space
probably on some galley yet for
a thought or two. even if not
a fresh news item, the following
came to my mind and was dotted
down for space in your printer's
stick or devil's waste basket:
Some time ago I was compli
menting our friend, Mr. Geo.iC.
Goodman, on his fine shade tree
in front of his residence in No. 2
township. He took the ,cpmpli-
ment m a very indifferent way
and then made the remark: "Yes,
that's a fine shade tree but it hurts
my farm within a radius of half
of a mile." Knowing that such
a statement could not apply as
to shade neither could its
roots absorb the moisture of the
earth for such a distance, I asked
that he explain himself. His
answer implied that he spent
many half hours there when he
should have been at work.
Another thought from in these
parts came to me some days ago.
We have in our township an old
lady who last February passed
her eighty-fifth mile post on her
road through life and enjoys
fairly good health. She is the
last one of thirteen children and
she was a twin. The person is
Mrs. Jas. A. Suns, who is the
mother of your townsman, Jno.
A. Sims and J. M. Sims, of
Charlotte. Visitor.
Congratulations Due Them.
Mr. Jas. Northey, of the Bel
Telephone Co. in Charlotte won
admiration for himself by Con
cord's people Friday by putting
a telephone on the grand stand
at the Latta park in Charlotte
and giving us the game gratui
tously as fast as a man took up
his bat, even giving the strikes,
balls, fouls, etc. The bulletins
were placed across the street
from the hotel and as one said it
beat sitting in the hot sun at
Charlotte. In less than a min
ute after, we knew the fate of
each player as he went out or
scored.
Hot Gaines They'll Be.
We were expected to play some
fine ball yesterday to compete
against Charlotte's team, and we
fared well, but we are expecting
still more work Monday and
Tuesday when our boys will
again be in Charlotte wrestling
with the Tarboro boys. -On
Thursday and Friday the Tar
boro boys come here and play us.

helped me. I expected soon to
die of consumption, when I
heard of Dr. King's New Dis

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