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.

A. Y. PEARSON'S
The WHITE SQUADRON
Presented by a company in point of
excellence unsurpassed. The scene of
"The White Squadron" is laid at Rio

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.

- ADAMS FATHER MAD.
j- t- - ,i .
He A censes Everybody of Having; a Hand
In the Defeat of His Bob.
Mr.- Solon Adams, father of Mr. Geo.
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.

"It's an ill: wind that blows nobody
