DOWN WE WENT.
Tarboro Prored Too Strong for Us In
the First Garae-A Game Filled With
HeaTy Hitting.
On Monday for the first time
-our boysmet the boys from the
East on the diamond in Charlotte
and in this game Tarboro won
from us a hard fought victory,
but like the games against Union
we took the defeat and continue
to play ball.
The grand stand force was
assis :ed very much by the Char
lotte attendants, who looked
upon Concord as a nearer and
closer friend than the . boys
down on the Tar river. It., was
known beforehand that we were
going against a heavy team when
we met the Tarboro boys, as they
break down everything that
comes before them.
An unusual amount of heavy
hittinsr was in the erame, not
only done by the strangers but
our boys. 7 While Tarboro
proved too strong for us, they
can not boast of a stronger out
field than we have, which fact
was evidenced in the game Mon
day. In the seventh inning Lat-
v timer stepped out of the box and
Mangum put in, which in this
case proved well for us," only
, two runs and three hits having
been made oft5 of him.
The Observer contains the
following of interest to our
side:
"For Concord, the batting of
Caldwell and Card was the best,
while Rogers' base running was
up to its usual high standard.
' 'Tarboro failed to score in the
, second" inning, while for Concord
, Caldwell and Card reached home
on Roarers' long drive to
deep
centre for three bases.
The
joncora rooters, wno were a
little quiet, became more cheer
fuL and Meade saw that ''there
are others" who can hit three
baggers. "Charlotte ball lovers seldom
witness a game abounding in as
much unmerciful slugging as
was participated in Monday
afternoon. The Concord boys
are good hitters but those from
Tarboro are better, as will be
seen by a glance at the columns
of hits. That of Meade for Tar
boro was the best that has ever
been seen in Charlotte. Three
times did he make a line drive to
centre field, far beyond the
reach of Rogers. Of equal
ability in wielding the stick is
Lusky, Tarboro's catcher. His
long drive into deep left would
have been an easy home-run, but
for the fast work of Concord's
outfield.
Following is the score:

Chas. Ridenhour states that he
did run from the officer and
when he got to the woods he
heard a pistol fire and was after

George, shot the officer for
pursuing him (Charles).
It was at first thought that a
reward was offered for Charles
but after looking at the reward
it seems not. x
Sheriff Peck telegraphed to
the sheriff at Lunfberton of the
capture and received the follow-
mg answer: "Jonn Monroe
wanted for murder of Thos.
Atkinson at Red Springs. Scar
in his hand. Will send full
description. Hold. Five hundred
reward."
Mr. Wilson Resigns His Position.
We learn with regret that Mr.
T. C. Wilson, who for about
seven years has been employed
in the Cannon mills, and now has
charge of the carding and spin
ning of the Cannon mill No. 2,
has tendered his resignation,
which will take effect the first of
September. Mr. Wilson resigns
this position to accept the super
intendency of the Trenton mill
at Gastonia.
Mr. Wilson's departure will
m3an a loss to his employers, as
he is one of ability in his work,
a loss to the Baptist church here
of which he was one of the fore
most workers, and a departure
from numerous friends made
during his stay, both in and out
of the mill. -

Much exchange of remarks
was made showing the jealousy
of the veterans for their fair
name at the reunions and it was
the unvoted but very expressed
sentiment that no one should be
encouraged to attend the reun
ions, that will reflect discredit on
the camp.

benefitted was dwelt upon and
the meeting voted its sincere
thanks to each and all included
in the above.
The meeting then adjourned.
