The "White Squadron Brlaga 1st Events That Occurred en the "CMssga.' If press notices can be relied on. Man ager Gray has secured a prize in the "White Squadron." He -opens the week with it, to-morrow night, -and from what is said elsewhere of the play and scenic effect, both are fine, espe cially the latter. The Buffalo Enquirer says of the play: ; - - "The 'White Squadron' is a spectac ular drama of considerable merit. The enthusiasm with which it was received proves that' it is destined to enjoy a long term of popularity. The events upon which the play is based are sup posed to occur in Brazil and the army of that country' and the warship Chi cago of the United States Navy figure prominently. The scenic effects are at times startling in their realism and beauty, tropical nature being faithfully reproduced. The plot is one that sus tains an intense interest throughout the entire production. - "The leading roles are all taken by capable actors and those of lesser im portance are also in competent hands. There is an evenness apparent in the acting which is as gratifying as it is unusual in a piece of that character. In spite of the dramatic nature of 'The White Squadron ample opportunity is found for comedy parts and these are well taken. Company A, 74th Regi ment, appears several times during the performance." Sharon Will Get the Pennant and Cap, Too Sharon is the pennant-winner of the county circuit. Only once this season has she been beaten on the diamond, and that several days ago by Steel PCreek. She wiped out the stain Friday afternoon on her own soil and there is none better defeating Steel Creek by a score of 18 to 10. It was no trouble Whatever for the Sharon boys to put the sphere in the sugar cane patch, consequently home runs were not un common. Yesterday the captain of the team re ceived a challenge from the Mint Hill cine, and a battla royal between them is the next diamond event to which Sharon looks forward. Crowds Still Flock to the Gospel Tent. The meeting at the Gospel Tent last night was one of the best of the whole series. A large congregation was pres ent, to whom Mr. Pruett preached on "The Rich Fool," and at the after meeting nine persons professed faith in the 8avior. There will be two services at the tent to-day. The one at 4:30 will be a praise service, and preaching at 8 p. m. The meeting will be continued through the week where the tent is now located, and through next week, too, if the interest should justify it. When the tent is moved it will probably be located in South Charlotte, near the Atherton Mill. Nearly a Fire. Friday night about 12 o'clock Mr. Walter Brem saw a bright light in the back yard of his next-door neighbor, Mr. J. M. Oates. It proved to be an ash-barrel on fire and the flames were running up higher than the division fence, near which the barrel was. Mr. Brem ran out and extinguished the fire and thus prevented what might have been a serious affair, for if the fence had caught valuable property on both sides would have caught from it. - BASEBALL YESTERDAY.

PEARSON'S The WHITE SQUADRON Presented by a company in point of excellence unsurpassed. The scene of "The White Squadron" is laid at Rio Janeiro. Brazil, and the scenery used in the play is a perfect reproduction of the location represented. Among the scenic masterpieces are: "The Home of Ouesta De Silvera," a faithful repro duction of a typical Brazilian nabob's residence. "The Public Square in Rio Janeiro," most historic location, truth fully depleted by a massive scenic dis play. "The Congress of Nayies," in which the commanding officers of every navy in the world are shown in their appropriate uniforms. "The Review of the White Squadron,', a magnificent scene, showing the famous fleet in line of review and underway. Seals on sale at M. P. Pegram's with out extra charge. Prices 25, 50 and 75c. DR. W.

Adams, the cyclist, is very much ag grieved on account of the latter's de feat here-last week. A. letter was re ceived from him yesterday by one of the prominent members of. the Cycle Club, in which he charged everyone in general and several in particular as be ing the cause of his son's defeat. He rehearsed Adams injuries from a fall received several - weeks ago, , to,, prove that he was in eo condition to ride; said he only came to oblige the elub and Fitzalmmons; that he had been ad vertised to come when be had made no agreement to so do: insinuated that one of the boys here rang the hell on the wroiTg lap, as a trick to defeat Adams (when the man Le accused was on top of a fence 15 feet away from the gong); scored the crowd for hissing Adams when be kicked, and wound up by ac cusing the papers and everybody In general of-having conspired together to beat his son all of which is respect fully referred to the public, the high est tribunal by which one can be meas ured, which is familiar with the facts, not by hearsay, but sight. Fitz., Adams' backer, said to the Observer after the races that Schade had won fairly and squarely, and that satisfies the public that there was no trickery. Mr. Solon" Adams can be convinced or not, as he likes. N'import. Mill Notes. The walls of the new spinning mill at the Gingham Mill have risen above the first window frames and are going steadily onward and upward. The card room at the Victor was shut down yesterday as the men were ahead several days with the work. They re sume operations about Wednesday. The Rutherford Democrat says: "A corps of civil engineers are making a survey of the magnificent water power at Big Island on Broad river, prelimi nary to the buildiner of a mammoth cotton mill there. The fact that Mr. R. R. Haynes is interested is a guar antee that the people interested with him mean business. We also have it upon good authority that a big mill is to be built at Island Ford. We have it from the highest authority that the syndicate which offered the induce ments which will secure the extension of the Carolina Central to Spartanburg will build large cotton mills at every water power along the line, or within reach of the line of road, and that a num ber of immense cotton milling plants in New England will be moved to them." The Show Yesterday and Last Night. "Peck's Bad Boy" was the attraction at the opera house yesterday and last night. The audience was larger at night than at the matinee, and on the whole was better pleased. The play is practically the same. The Boy, of course, adds new tricks and sayings "to his repertoire from year to year.Jbut, on the whole, he is about the' same fellow whom Charlotte knows so w"ell. The show is a first-class Saturday night "nailer." The gallery god was out in all his pristine glory, and turned himself loose, with no fear of being sat upon. Many ot the specialties last night were good. There are many worse shows and many better. "Peck's Bad Boy," to those who like this kind of show, is funny; to those who have seen it more than once, it is boring. Cotton-Picking Days, The depot press will start up this week. Col. A. L. Smith, manager of the press, is blowing his horn and the old compress hands are answeriDg the call. The press is later starting up this year than last. It looked like business yesterday in Cotton Town to seethe farmers rushing here and there with their cotton sam ples or tickets in hand. The banks were busy and things in general were on the move. Mr. Madison Hunter, of Mallard Creek, brought down six bales yester day. The crop in Mallard Creek wiW be "short and. sweet" soon out, soon over. Mr. J. Watt Kirkpatrick says the hot weather has reduced the crop in Sharon 50 per cent. "Teaching the Young Idea." Carolina Academy, in Providence, has started upon a successful session under Prof. Howie, teacher. Several new students were matricu lated at Bain Academy last' week. Prof. Morris McDonald, who with Prof. Spencer is teaching at Bain this session, was in yesterday, and is much enthused about his work. Mr. W. B. Galloway, of Atlanta, Ga., was here yesterday on his way to Cod dle Creek, where he is to have charge of a school this winter. Burnt Cotton, The hot spell is playing havoc with the cotton, and consequently few Meck lenburg farmers are found to-day pos sessed of thj& religion they had this day a week ago. The heat is drying up the bolls so that they do not open. Places which a week or ten days ago promised a good crop, no longer give such prom ise. In Crab Orchard, as elsewhere, the top crop is a dead failure. Mr. W. J. Taylor brought in a pocket full of dried up bolls yesterday, a sample of the ef fect of the heat on his patch and that of his neighbors. Death of Mr. Cates. Mr. V. H. Cates, whose life has hung on a slender thread for several months, passed away last night at 7:30 o'clock at his home, No. 8" West Hill street. Deceased was 50 years old. He was a shoe-maker by trade and a quiet, inof fensive citizen. He associated himself early in life with the Methodist Church and died in the full communion of that Church. Four children, three boys and a girl, survive him. The funeral services will take place this afternoon at 5 o'clock, from the house, by Dr. reasy. Accidents, Bat No Policies. Mr. Sam Alexander, of Sharon, was helping run the molasses mill Friday, when be got bis hand caught in the machinery and was right badly hurt. Thursday night, Mr. John McCul lough, of Pineville, went to a train to assist some ladies on board. He went inside to see that they got seats. The train began moving, and he ran out and jumped off. He fell, hurting him self to badly that he has not been able to be about since. Mr. founts' Haus Darned. Mr. Wm. Younts lives In Clear Creek. Yesterday morning about 2. o'clock he was aroused by a feeling of suffocation and jumping up found that the house was in flames. With difficulty he rescued his family, bat the heat was so intense his baby came very near being burned before he could get it out. The house and contents were a total loss. Mr. Younts had left a lamp burning when he retired, and he thinks it must have exploded. . lawarutyia Steel Creak. "It's an ill: wind that blows nobody good." The hot, . dry -weather is just the kind the lawn-party young man and woman enjoy.

Dr. Wilder says he'll never forget the bicycle experience he had Friday. He was using his left hand yesterday to shake hands. The Gilmer and Shaw clubs had a run yesterday, and a beautiful sight it was to see about thirty girls, aged from 10 to 14 years, iu line, riding up and down Trade and Tryon streets.

On their re turn from the north they go to Berlin, where they will winter. Rather Horsey. Mr. C. F. Wadsworth's trip to Vir ginia in search of stock for his stable on the 2Sth was successful, judging from the droves which came in yester day.

The driver started down East Trade street to deliver goods, when something about the harness broke, and off went' the animal at a regular "Schade" gait. There was stoppage before breakage, and all were satisfied. RUN ON BREVARD STREET. About the time this affair occurred on Trade street and hat was about 11 o'clock a small boy from the country was .having a lively experience on Bre vard street. He was left to hold the horse. It became frightened and ran. The boy holding the line played in about the proportionate weight of force that the gnat did riding on the horns of the bull the horse didn't know the boy waa there, and in a few minutes the boy was' not there he had been left on the road side, while the horse went oh.
