C. "BLUE BACK" SPELLING. Between Henrietta and Caroleen, in Which the Latter Won. (Special to The Sun.) HENRIETTA, N. C, April 28. The most interesting form of amusement of the season was the spelling match from Webster's old blue back speller at the new hall last night between Henrietta and Caroleen. Fourteen select spellers from each place were chosen to take part in the contest. Dr. Fletcher Whisnant was captain of the Henrietta class with the following spellers: Mrs. T. F. Baber, Miss Edna Brown, Miss Clara Lee, Wal ter Fanning, Leon Gaffney, B. F. Gaff ney, J. F. Daniel, John Smith, J. O. Bell, D. B. Johnson, M. B. MahafFee, Coren Bland and R. E. Summey. Mr. A. L. Smart was captain of the Caroleen class with the following spellers: C. D. Bell, Erastus Smart, E. D. Crocker, C. C. Goforth, J. D. Hull, Mrs. Clark, Miss Bettie Melton, Miss Ollie Webb, Marvin Scruggs, W. C. Price, Yolney Contrell, Taylor Hill and Kelly Randall. The lesson included ten pages selected at random by drawing from a hat contain ing the number of all the pages from "horse back" on page 50 to the "picture lessons" on page 139 in Webster's old blue back speller. Miss Pauline Lattimore, of Caroleen, pronounced words and Rev. W. D. Bos tic, of this place, was referee. A large audience was present, gathered from both Henrietta and Caroleen, and each crowd was anxious to see their side beat. The contest was on the oid-fashioned style of "go dead" when a word was missed, and intensely interesting from start to finish. It was a closely contested match, resulting in a score of 0 to 2 in favor of Caroleen. Mr. Walter Fanning, one of Henrietta's best spellers, after holding on for quite a while, was the last victim to go down in defeat on the Hen rietta side, leaving Caroleen the victor with Capt. A. L. Smart and son, Erastus Smart, still holding the field when the smoke of battle cleared away. After the match was over speeches, were called for and the captains responded with a few terse remarks. Mr. Smart said he was very much pleased because of their vic tory, but had a very deep sense of sym pathy for his defeated friends of Henri etta. Dr. Whisnant replied that Caro leen was in a splendid position to feel such sympathy as they had so recently experienced a similar defeat at their place at the hands of Henrietta. The remarks of both called forth considerable applause. The spirit of rivalry in these spelling contests is good natured and fulLof fun, and the best of feeling be tween the two places prevails. Henrietta was first to challenge Caroleen for a spelling contest, which they promptly accepted, but were beaten, 8 to 4. Caro leen at once returned the compliment with the above results. It is interesting to note that Henrietta went to Caroleen and beat them in a match before their own audience of four or five hundred people and then Caroleen came to Hen rietta and beat them in a match before a similar audience. There will be a third meeting arranged soon to de cide which side wins two best out of three. These spellings are both interest ing and instructive as so many, both old and young, have become interested in spelling because of these meetings that they have begun to review up on the old blue back speller and it is coming to the front again. Tbe teachers are now using it in the school at this place. It is a very common thing to see both old and young going about their work with one of these books in their pockets. MILL SPRING COLD-SNAP. Timber Interest In That Neigh borhood. (Special to The Sun.) MILL SPRING, N. C, April 27. Just as everything is beginning to put on spring airs king winter, like an un welcome visitor, has stepped in, and we are trying to keep comfortable around the fireside wliile at the same time we endeavor to be one of those cheerful philosophers we read of but seldom meet. If any fruit escapes this cold snap it will be proof against anything likely to come later on. Mrs. M. J. Higgins is visiting rela tives in Rutherfordton. From there she will visit her son, who has recently moved to Durham. He thinks that the garden-spot of the earth. The parties who have been looking out for timber in this neighborhood, we learn, have secured a vast amount of land in this and adjoining counties. We have beared it would take about six months to make the surveys.
