Temptation.
~ Eilitor New York Mirror: Some
time ago. a idly worker of an uplift
society w:t a ted alongside a city
magistrals in the night court. A
young uiiss was arraigned for shop-1
lifting, -and the magistrate was being
reminded of the fact that, as ma-l
: t prists went displayed so openly in our
department stores, they caused undue
. temptation to poor young working
girls.
i ’ The next case was that of a youth
who Had been arrested for molesting
a be*paintcd. be-gartered damsel in a
theatre, and tile above mentioned so
ciety worker indignantly requested
f that, he be sent to jail for a long
.term; • whereup the magistrate
asked fiffitther the damsel's appear
ance was not as tempting to the
young man as the department store
display was to the miss in the pre
vious case.
? Personally. 1 think if most of our
girls’ dressed properly, they would
never be molested. A READER.

Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York, Aug. 21-—There has
been no special feature to the mar
ket which, however, acts rather tight
whenever any cotton is really want
ed. Everyone now is simply waiting
for the figures before taking action
on either side and probably when
this report is out of the way every
one wil begin to wonder what the
next will show and very possibly de
cide to postpone action till that is
known A more pernicious system
would be difficult to devise or one
better calculated to paralyse every
branch of the industry.
At the moment. Jhere seems some
disposition to feel 'that the report
will hardly confirm the more ex
treme bearish but practically
all look to see 14 million or a little
better for the crop exiiectaney ami
that probability has been very dis
counted though perhaps some of the
more prudent shorts have reduced
their lines to some extent recently
leaving the technical position some
what less strained.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
KANNAPOLIS MAKES IT
TWO OVER FAYETTEVILLE
Easterners No Match For Slugging of
Cabarrus Boys and Law Match by
Score of 14-4.
Kannapolis took all the wind out
of the sails of the nine from Fayette
ville Friday afterneon when the star
pitcher of the easterners, Sam Car
rie, was batted all over the lot and the
Cabarrus County team won by the
one-sided score of 14-4.
It was a very uninteresting game
from the third inning on to the end.
tip’ to that time, it had looked as
though there would be a pitcher’s bat
tle between Holshouser and Currie.
After that neither team extended it
self and large numbers of the specta
tors left before the wind-up.
The marvel to Cabarrus County
fans was how could the team playing
Friday ever have won from Kauna|>o- j
lis. It looked inferior in practically j
every department of the game. The
fielding was nothing to brag about, the
base running was sorry and the bone
head plays were frequent. However,
the Fayetteville team must have been
having an off day since, rt has been
victorious in 41 out of 58 starts.
After Fayetteville made one run in
their half of the third inning, when
Russell l*ee threw the ball wild in
trying to eateh a man going home,
Kannapolis came tjhek and seorefH
six rtnts. Holshouser started the ral
ly by poling oue to the palings for
two bases. Russell Lee was hit and
then a barrage of hits greeted Currie,
scoring a total of six runs.
In the next frame, it was almost a
• repetition of the third inning. Four
. runs were scored and at the expira
tion of the inning. Currie saw fit to
withdraw. He was succeeded by Roy
■ al who managed to get along better,
having only four runs- made on him
in the succeeding four periods.
Owl, playing right field for Kan
napoFs. was the star of the evening's
performance. His work in the field,
at the bat and on the base paths was
spectacular. He is from Oklahoma
University. a ten second man and
looks good for the big leagues. On oue
occasion, he stole second when the
pitcher walked up for a conference.
He made three hits out of five times
at the bat.
Miller, Kannapolis manager, also
starred at the bat. getting three out of
five. For Fayetteville, Bryan led in
the hitting with two lets out of four
times at the bat. Scarbrough knock
ed a home run in the eighth, the only
one of the game, with none on bases.
Holshouser pitched a steady game
for Kannapolis, but did not extend
himself after the first few frames. He
kept the blows well scattered and
struck out h total of ten men.
The game this afternoon will be
the last in the series of six. Fayette
ville won the first three ami Kannap
olis lias won the last two. A victory
this afternoon will give the Cabarrus
team a tie with the easterners while
a loss will lose for them the scries.
Sherrill will hurl for Kannaisilis and
O’Quinn will do the twirling for Fay
etteville.

hi Piece of Woods Near Piedmont
School in Chortotte.
i The body of ®. t. (Tin) Coggine,
formerly a resident of this chanty,
was found in C patch at Woods in
Charlotte Friday morning, aad Cor
oner Frank Hovis, of Meektbnburg
county, said the deceased took his own
life. The body was found Friday
morning about o’clock in the
woods at the rear of thr Piedmont
Junior High School on Tenth street.
Hhe had been dead several hours when
found.
It was a clear case of suicide. Cbr
oner Hovis said, as an empty two
ounce bottle bearing a poison label
was found nearby. In addition' a
long statement was left by the dead
j man.
Mr. Coggins lived near Host Mill
in this comity until about 15 years
ago when he moved to Charlotte. He
had been operating a grocery store
there at the intersection of North
Myers and Ninth streets.
Family trouble was assigned by the
deceased as the cause of his act in
a note found with him. The note,
five pages in length, badly written
bearing a date of 11 p. m. no duy,
was made public. In substance it
told members of his family that he
forgave all their transgressions against
him and asked that they forgive his
against them. One part of it was
addressed to his wife and reviewed
to a certain extent domestic difficul
ties and asked that they be forgiven.
Coggins was last seen alive lute
Thursday afternoon by his brother,
M. C. Coggins, with whom the de
ceased lived, as he passed in front of
his residence.
A group of negro boys, while play
ing in the woods, found the body and
alarmed the neighborhood. The po
lice were notified and Detectives Brad
ley. Correll and Gardner went to the
scene. They notified Coroner Hovis,
who. after examination, declared that
no inquest was necessary.
Mrs. Charles Rich, of this city,
and Mrs. Ed Riggers, of Bost Mill,
are sisters of the deceased, who is
also survived by hiß brothers, J. P.,
Luther and Charles.
Funeral services will be held to
morrow afternoon at St. Martins
Lutheran Church, below Bost Mill,
and interment will be made in the
cemetery of the church.

Circ.as Snake Out On Rampage-
Many years ago a python escaped
from a circus in Richmond, Mo. Evi
dently it found an inviting cave in
the .sparsely settled h/i couhitry I
northeast of Excelsior Springs, in the
same state, and dozed peacefully on
until hunger and the roving instinct
again took uncontrolled possession of
the reptile. Anyway farmers in Ray
county are terorized. women almost
on the point of hysteria do not ven
ture into the com tields and children
remain indoors. -
Several head of sheep, hpgs and
cattle that have been missed of late
are belie veil to have helped appease
the hunger of the giant reptile. Farm
ers have organized a posse to traek
the snake ti its lair and meanwhile
barns housing blooded stock arc be
ing guarded day and night. Farmers
who venture in the fields go armed
with heavy sticks. No-one has yet
seen the snake but if they do the rep
tile's doom is scaled. '
