TOO Excitement ; in Game of 1874 Keen,, Same as - Tisin 1912. Great have been the changes in New Bern and Eastern North Carolina since '74 but in nothing, perhaps, is 'greater difference noticeable than in the news papers and their ways of reporting the news. In" the New Bern Journal of Commerce, as well as the Daily Times of October, 1894, appear accounts of the great Mil game played at the1 Ral eigh State Fair by New Bern boys, some of whom .are now living, and a Raleigh nine. Dr. John D, Clark a well known dentist of this, city, kindly gave the Journal this glimpse of baseball report ing of the long ago. This was before baseball language hadbeen invented and ball games were- reported in English, instead of a special jargon. "Rooters" were evidently juRt getting into the game. No mention is made of the umpire having been-hit by a Pepsi-Cola, bottle. Altogether, the game was de cidedly different from that of today, but it was some ball! Local "fans" may become young again by reading this from the New Bern Journal of Commerce of October 17, 1874: The njch game of base ball be tween the Athletics, of Raleigh, and Elm City, of New Bern, came off on the grounds of the State Fair, in the vi cinity of Raleigh, last .Thursday, in the presence of thousands assembled from all parts of this and adjoining States, to witness the many interesting inci dents occurring on the occasion of the State Fair. And though at the same time the game was being played, several very important, as well as exciting, races were being performed on the. course near by, yet an almost intense interest was manifested in the contest between these two rival clubs for the champion ship of the State; people were seen running hither and thither amid the greatest excitement, anxiously inquiring how. the game stood, and at the close of each inning as one club retired to the field and the other one came in to the bat, the interest became so intensi fied, that the spectators became almost wild with excitement, -and the pressure of the crowd, as they impetuously gath ered around the scorer's stand, became so great as to render it' almost impossi ble to accurately score the games. - Al most everybody, present: Who had suf--ficient knowledge of the game,- kept a score of their own, and so anxious Were they of the result that they fre-. quenjly 'interrupted tne scorers in! their duties,, by: their -inquiries 're specting the progress of the game. We think it is the popular sentiment, and the great interest manifested is an indubitable proof of it, that the game was flne-of the most attractive and prin cipal features of - the - Fair.- Judges', lawyers, clergymen, merchants,, mech V Are anics, tradesmen and - men of -every profession or occupation seemed .alike interested In" the game,, and .espec ially the - re8uh. Then what a tumult of excitement edsued, immediately subsequent to the close 'of-the game, as'the spectators' -irresistibly thronged about the scorer's .' stand : impatiently awaiting . .the . announcement of - the contest: then everybody became at" most frenzied with enthusiasm, and amid repeated and tremendous applause of, the assembly, -the "Elm City's" were " declared . the -! victors 'ftnd the cha mpions of. the . State.' ,The young ladies from New Bern OOd bless them!) who were present to witness the game. and 'though lew in numbers were none the less .beautifui or attractive, than the- mpre. numerous , delegations from other sections;: seemed ; to- be- -rterfect- ly "delighted'., with the .result" 5mJ were so'Iully.enthused. by 'the success of the JMew Bern nine, that they rushed almost frantically to meet them as they : returned from - the grounds : to the grand--stand greeting them with the radiance of their smiles of appro bation, and congratulating them with theu cheering words and winning man ners, ' ' 1 '--, Having dwelt sufficiently on the cir cumstances attendant thereon and ef fects resulting therefrom, we will now revert o he game itself. .The play, both in and out-field waB exceedingly fine,- batting "was much -better, " The game was called at 25 minutes past 12 o'clock, with the Atlhetics at the bat:,x-Mr Ryan, a member of the Fed eral artillery . statioiiod . at Raleigh, acted S3 umpire;' add by his impartial decisions reflected great credit upon himself and those -who selected him to officiate in that capacity.- The two captains, Flanncr, of the, Elm City's and Coly, of the Athletics, did efficient rvi e, dcninnsl rt : 'I' t l! v i " - i'k ir !"(( i ; .1 i' in i'. ; Walls of Car Bam Almost Up Roof On In a Week.

OFFICE Expects to go Back to ' His Newspapet Work Af ter 'Campaign NOT AFRAID OF WORK PREDICTS HUGE CROP OF COTTOH J. E. Latham Calculates It Will Reach 14 1-2 Mil ' lion Jtales WEATHER FAVORABLE Since July xTwelfth It Has Been Almost Perfect. Price Falls. Inveterate Smoker and Forgets to go For His Lunch. New York, August 23 The fact that he is a brother of the Democratic candidate for President has not made any difference with Joseph R. Wilson " . Mr. Wilson, who is the city editor of the' Nashville Banner, has joined the Publicity Department under the di rection of Josephus Daniels. Mr. Wilson is aveteran newspaper wofker and long hours at National Headquarters in New York have had no terrors for him. To the hundreds of callers at Nat ional Headquarters he is more orless a point of curiosity, but he is entirely unconscious of the interest he creates. as he bends over his desk preparing copy in behalf of. his brother. 'Of course I am doubly interested in the success ot tne uemocrauc ticket," explained Mr.-. Wilson. "But the fact that my brother is a candidate for the Presidency did not change my views or attitude. The only thing that I grow impatient) over is that evey one seems to think, that I will have a political job after Wilson and Marshall are elected." "This is not my idea at all. l ex pect to return to my newspaper duties and I will be entirely satisfied if in a Bmall way I help bring abcnit the suc cess of the Democratic ticket." Mr. Wilson is an inveterate smoker and his one bad habit is that he forgets to go to lunch. One of the office boys in the i National Headquarters has been delegated to remind him every five min utes between twelve and one o'clok that it is time to eat. Mr. Wilson's invari able answer isf'In a minute," and he is again lost in the stuff of preparing copy. ' But in failing to go to lunch Mr. Wilson is only following the habit of practically all the workers in the Democratic National Headquarters. "We are too much interested," is the usual reply of department chiefs or important . assisrants, when the ques tion of eating comes up. V J.' E. Latham's . cotton letter, which has just been received, predicts-another bumper crop of cottoo, fourteen anda half millions balt being his estimate. "As to the price .he says that ."con sidering the Jaws of chance and the re cord of -averages- it . looks like those who believe: in lower' prices have the greater advantages to. support their arguments.", - ' r, - The last tfotton letter issued by Mr. Latham was dated July- 12. At that time, the current letter says, "Decem ber futures were around 12 1-2 cents but the advance1 did not terminate until, 13 1-4 waas passed. About this period timely and needed rains began to" fall ih Texas and since' that date the "; weather - not.

On the question of price, the letter, after, referring to the outlook for a large crop, continues: ' -, n " .
