Greensboro - EMPIRE BAlTINt. Asheville Umpiri as well a iiiizettc ;sews. baiting is an profitable disorderly pract: e. it doeti not get the hatter or his t'ling.

We : one who has watched ball been without animus to pires sit some time or evitafeljr 'there comes- tim, umpire aoes noi see vr erttnusUetie 'lau " 'ated?."" Bi - f. ble to VohtroL our remark, to a mend. The umpire, is not worrying 'about this sorfof;.anir mas. ite hearetn tne souna tp-reoi. bv.t knows not whence' it comtih or whither it goeth. ana ca.-es little. it wben the cnir-ius ir, sufli thzt u.ves tha fan:- t.- shoau insuitr., Insult end i:ie:".-.t as such, a:-.d eve; Iuitne-', tf.-.:'A: assault, van matter becomes n;o.-c i-.erious. Rare y is it serious for the umpire, but is hvays serious for the cause of clean sport and the good name of the town where it happens. An umpire might be ever so "rotten, but the fans making a howl will get no sympathy, for the reason that they do howl. Sojourners and those of neighbor ing towns say, "iney are not goou ports," and the worst of it is they put the fans generally m the howl ing: cla3, when in fact it is only a small proportion of them, a very small portion who do not even bave the moral support of a great number. Ashoville with other towns in the circuit has seen a great deal of um piring, that Was far from good, but very little, we are persuaded, of dis honest umpiring. It should be re membered that umpires are not hired carelessly, and the very fact that thoy are not is a strong implication of their respectability and honesty. Certainly, they should have the bene fit of any doubt there may be. We can safely assume that an umpire is honest, even if he is a stranger. until we can prove otherwise. This being true there is another thing to lie considered: Would the indiv idual who shouts the insults from the errand-stand walk up to the um pires fuee, without any following, and cnil tne umpire, as a respectaDie ho.itr.t individual, n'.l manner of evil names? Would the individual who hurls a dangerous missile at the um pire from the security of a ciowd wall; v.T) alone nnd hat the umpire the filCQ with h would not, why fin I Of '.nil if course it rVit he done oc nsionallv, for men in the heat o1 parsion nave been ! t; do fo31ish thln-?s and S0:Tie S01T? f 1 ' ' h" "ftc- it vmulil not be verv "enou: ne.-n.'so the heat have been the n-.ip: :hs : "P Wf..", itvatioi not able to cope i the authorities - 1 1 nr;; ,-e' l L-iows explained that they had on their Sunday clothes did not wish to eet them wat and that there was not time for them to undress and pull 4he droning; lad out of the pond.

R. Hartness were completed last week, when the finishing touches were put upon the large three story storage house. This will accomo date all the grain and flour demanded of thVaplendid mill's growing business Already much machinery, too compli cated for the ordinary outsider to un derstand, has been installed and is in operation. This additional machinery re presents the latest achievements in roller miil science. It increases the cap acity of the mill by 50 barrels a day anu also greatly improves the qual'ty. Cleveland County can now say that she has a mill within her borders that turns out as fine flour as is ground in the great mills of Minnesota; tin fact there is no better flour in the world. Its range of quality runs from the the highest to the lowest grades any thing their customers wish. The mills capacity is now far ahead of anything hereto fore known in this section, and it may be many years be fore our section produces enough wheat to ciog the in-take. No one need be turned away and people coming from near and far can be assured of speedy filling of their orders returning the same day. Inside the mill is painted snow white; it is the latest in sanitation.
