pfcins of the coming season, and
unless some thing ch'anges the
present arrangements we will
nay.eja team that will stand the
blows of any of the teams and

Col". Jnol Wadsworth, who Jn
1 company with Dr. R S Young
and 6eo. L'.Pattersan, will prob
ably push the baseball business
this su miner; has mado somo of
Jthoplans public. The following
was printed in'the Charlotte Ob
server, which will bo .at least
partly, correct as to tile member.s
of our teainr
"Mr.. John Wadsworth, who
was over from Concord Wednes
day, announced that Concord has
already . selected and' Signed"
'her baseball iilavers for the

burg, catcher; 'Weddington, cen
tre, "and Fox, of Roanoke, Va.,

apo.beon selected.
"To Concord, then, belongs
th,e proud distinction of being
the first to vn in the State to slafe
its team for the coming season.
The Charlotto baseball enthu
siasts are not at all idle, and it is
expected that 'they 'will have a
nine in a few days. It was stated.
, Wednesday tkaUthe other tc?ns
that have expressed their inten
tion to enter the leagu are
Greensboro, States vttle, W;l
mington and Maxton.
"The present idea seems to be

A large Amount .Unpaid. .. .
Sheriff Peck's tax boo"ks show
a larcre amount of the taxes of
our county yet unpaid, though
tho time has expired for their
payment Befdre extia cost is
added for the delay. One would
be surprised to know the mfm
bers of p'eoplo who continually
put 5ff the nlatter of paying their
tax,es until,, the last moment,
when they were m
sroed oircumstances
equally as
wfrien the
.
sheriff first advertised that the
new tax books werein hishands.
