The game' was witnessed by a large crowd and was intensely Interesting. From start to finish It was a pitch er's "battle, between , J. Price and Meeks. Both were' almost Invlncl- ble'but Price finally got the better of the argument. He was never in better form and Begonia never had much chance to win; ' Both catchers starred, neither allowing' a steal. Aside from the battery work the features were two ' pretty squeeze plays by Begonia and the hitting of Grady Gaston and Walter Price for Bell's Park, , the former lining out .three hits and the latter breaking up the game in the, eleventh Inning by his stinging double. -a followed by Leonhard's pretty single.' i S- Batteries: , BeH's'Park Price, J and Price; W.; Begonia Meeks and Parham.

From the present outlook Texas will produce something like - one third of the teta cotton crop of the United States, and" the Indications are that high prices 'Jwljl. again pre vail during the marketing season; is the opinion of Editor palles, of The Houston Post "? Says he" further: In view of the fact that the total crop of 1909 sold for more than $8Q0, 000,000,' it would appear that there continues to be much truth In . the saying, "Cotton is king," and that Texas' gives the chief support to Its claim to the titfe Kin this connection, the Southern Commercial, Congress has compiled statistics showing that it is the cot ton crop of the South which has en abed the tfnited States to maintain the balance of trade for nearly 120 years. ' The , total value of all ex porta frcm the United States during the period from 1790 to the fiscal year ended with June of last year amounted .practically to $4$,000, ITOO.OOO a sum so large that it. is difficult to" comprehend It." The to tal balance in favor of the United States during this time, we are told; has been $6,436,114,566. The : commercial congress further tells us that the gold brought back to the United States in payment ,of our cotton crop amounted to $13,' 598.353,086, and it is to be borne In mina mat tnis was merely in pay ment of our raw cotton. The manu- hfactured goods, the' cotton seed and cotton seed oil, which have attained to large proportions in value during recentjrears, are left out of the reck oning altogether. irA'vAA "it is easy enougn to see,", says The Washington' Times in comment ing on these figures, "that If it had not, been for the cotton crop of the South, the balance, of trade would have - been against us during , all these years. It Is the staple money crop of the country and has played a conspicuous part in bringing the United States to the position of com mercial prosperity, K now enjoys." Ana ay or tnis has been accom plished without affording the staple any of that protection which, under favored tariff schedules, has helped to enrich the States of the east at the expense of the cotton producers of the south. - DR. CRIPPEN CAUGHT. London Dentist, Wanted for Mnrder of His Wife, Accompanied by Eth el Clare Leneve Arrested on Board Steamer Near Quebec, Canada- End of Sensational Man-Hunt.

There was disappointment at the size of the ' crowd which ' gathered yesterday at Dallas to attend the "an nual , picnic given by the Masonic lodges of the county. Usually : this occasion draws a large crowds 1 The sinallness of yesterday's crowd is ac counted for. In part at least, by the fact that there' were several other gatherings in progress in the coun ty. " Besides the picnic Dallas . was entertalkiag the Gaston County Bi ble Society which held its fiftieth an nual " meeting ' - in the " ' Lutheran church; there was a Sunday school picnic at Long Creek church and i picnic at High Shoslsv:';--...''

Following Mr. Wilson, Rev. R. C. Anderson announced that dinner would be served at the school build ing immediately after the exercises and that the proceeds would go to the fund for the Oxford Orphanage Asylum. Mr. A. C. Jones then introduced to the audience Hon. Richard N. Hackett, of Wllkesboro, Grand Mas ter of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, who was the principal speaker of the day. Mr. Hackett's address was a masterful piece of or atory and he held the tlosest atten tion of his audience through to the end of his speech. He spoke on the principles and history of Free Ma sonry, and concluded by recounting some of the things accomplished by the Masons in . North Carolin. He told of the great work that Is being accomplished at the Oxford Orphan Asylum, where 350 fatherless and motherless children are being cared for : and trained and educated for good and useful lives. He told of the building of the Masonic temple in Raleigh which will yield an .an nual income or , sio.uuo. Tnis amount, he stated, is to be used for the erection and maintenance of a home for aged and Infirm Masons which Is to be built in the State. Mr. Hackett said that the committee hav ing this matter in hand would meet In Raleigh today to discuss the se lection of a site, for this home and to make further plans for its con summation. ; " V : A : Mr. Hackett is a pleasing speaker and at times waxed eloquent in de scriptive paragraphs of power. Not only the Masons present but all who heard him were profoundly Impress ed by 'his speech. .
