That the ' Standard Oil Company, which owns a lot of timber lands in 3Vorth Carolina along the line of the 'Norfolk Southern, will take an interest in the road's future development was suggested inasmuch as Standard Oil is strongly represented in the financers of that city. . No announcement of the date for the election of a president was made, but it is expected that the directors will meet in a few weeks and make a selec tion. ; ' , 1AUNCH POCAHONTAS BURNED. ?The accideitar ignition --of a can of gasolene caused the total joss of the.

Four to three in favor of the Red Sox was the score of the first game of the World's Champion Baseball Series played between the New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox at the New York Polo grounds yesterday after noon in the presence of 35.000 ecxited fans. Tesreau and Myers composed the battery for the Giants and Wood and Cody did the pitching and re ceiving for the Red Sox. Neither team scored until the third inning, then New York put two men across the home plate. In the sixth inning the Red Sox made their first run and in the seventh inning, made three home runs. The Red Sox got six hits and made one error while the Giants got eight hits and made one error. Many tricks were invented by spec ulators to get the pasteboards, but for the first time in New York they were "beaten" by the club management. There were some tickets to be had along Broadway but they were few President Herman of the National Commission expressed himself as de lighted with the plan of ticket distri bution. The few tickets that fell into the hands of the speculators were pur chased from persons who stood in line, Wherever speculators known to the police were seen fn the vicinity of the Polo Grounds they were ordered away, Those who managed to elude the police offered as high as $10 for each 13 ticket. Police were on duty to keep order Scores of those, waiting fans brought camp stools with them and blankets to protect them from the cool air; Hot lunch venders did a rushing business, For honor of participating in this season's climax- oyer 500 individual aspirants were enrolled. They haled from every section of the United States and grouped under the leadership of 16 different club managements, engaged all Summer in the competitive rehersals known as Major League Pennant Races. Many were put aside as unqualified for their, parts. Others shone; indivi dually as brilliant stats. Itjremained nowever, lor. Managers jonn j. jmc Graw of the New York Nationals and Garland (Jake) Stahl of he Boston Americans, to emerge with the two best companies of players. - the manner in which they accomplished this , end differs in points which are interesting J to view. ' ' .'. McGraw, the "Little Napoleon - of Baseball," has , with this year' com panj turned out four" penannt winning teamsneluding onl 6rld 't champion' ship club in 1905. Inall of the nine years since he came from f be Baltimore Orioles to take i charge of the jGiants in 1903, his men have never Jinistied be low third place. With -this record, at 3? years, McGraw is a vetefajft in com parison with' the Boston, manager at 32, who is enjoying his first success as the.head of a champion team. , It is an interesting coincidence jt hat ia, I9i0, t same year; that 'McGraw undertook the leadership of the Giants, Jake . Stahl, as a college man starring both on the diamond and girdiron for the University of Illinois, was discover ed by a Boston American scout, and brought East.' , That same year as a recrqit catcher on the Boston team Statu sat on tne Dencn ana watcnea nts team-mates' win their first" and only world's championship from Pittsburg, In the excitement of world honors at''-' the.' time : Boston apparently lost 4 f A t t ?7? r '4 t JXMi' sigWt of the promising Stahl and let him go to Washington. He was man ager of that team for a time, but was so little appreciated there that he was offered for sale to Chicago. He refused to go, but in 1908 he was handed over to the New York Americans. They promptly traded him back to his first love, Boston, and he came into his own as the mainstay of a good but unfort unate team. He decided last year to give up the game to try . banking in Chicago. - In his absence Boston ex perienced still greater misfortunes and slumped to fifth place in the American League. It was from this slough of despond that Stahl, after returning to Boston last spring as playing manager, helped the new owners, Robert McRoy and James McAleer, to rescue the club. With practically the same personnel as the 1911 team strengthened in places he has developed the contenders fdrl world's honors and brought basebalj enthusiasm in Boston back to the pitch at which Jimmy Collins held it in his prime. In the battle of . managerial wits which is always to be reckoned with in a world's series, the Boston sup porters express little worry that -Jake Stahl's , comparative inexperience in such crucial test will be matched un favorably against the veteran McGraw, Both 'are playing managers, but Stahl is entitled to be so called more than the Giants' leader, for he will probably be und in the world's series at his usuat,place;90 first base, a po sition at which few men today in base ball haye' ''better records. .McGraw however,, while always 14 his ball togs,' and once 'f ;mous "player;: is Ow sel domin action, evoting his whole time ttf-'the strategy ofthe feun3CTI' 4 , Reviewing bTfiejtty pie coulrsesthe two clubs' have ; taa ilbjs year, it 1 srriking tonote ilhajtl they- won the pennant 4 theff respectiVfe leagues5 with practically ,1 the- same average. , The Giants' began their ason " irnde'' the most jfavbrahW circumstances and at the expense of their Weaker com petitor tey galloped ff ,with i lead which! striod 'It4 3f games in J" but Which drbpped -aimosr to "danger point ! ,i'Septejbr.;;'Jj'aa until within 10 (lays of Jher season's close that they wholly? disposed Xof xCbicagoysZ fainjt chance bf displacing them.

The arguments in the case of Tippet vs. the A: & N C. R. R.

Merchants Recognize Their Great Value to Themselves and the Town MORE INAUGURATED YEARLY European Countries Have Had Car nivals and Fairs Since Early Roman Times The marvelous success of County Fairs during the past few years has given these exhibitions a place of no inconsiderable importance in the mer cantile wprld. Merchants have read ily come to recognize in them, means of advertising to the grreatest number at the smallest proportionate expenditure, and each yearsees more cities inaugu fating thees popular institutions. But these Fairs are by no means new. European countries have held them for eeflluries; the Anglo-Saxons, from which race we trace our history, intro duced the elements of the modern car nival in Rome as early as 500; King Alfred stimulated interest in "Town Fairs" and carnivals during his peace ful reign; Booths for the actors pre senting mystery plays, and later mis cellaneous plays, were built at fair time in the pre-Elizabethian period, and from the downfall of the Puritans in England, the essential elements of our fairs have flourished. County Fairs and Carnivals in the United States usually owe their origin to the influence of some foreign carnival or some local production. The early county fair represented more nearly the market fair of England and the Continent, where at harvest times the farmers came together in a fair to buy and sell. - Fewer carnivals in the west are noted for attractiveness and ieauty and as a means of advertising the localities rn which they are held. Many cities in Lahtornia hold these annual cele brat ions,, perhaps chief among which is La Fiesta de Las Flores se Los Ange les. For ten years Los Angeles has opened wide its gates and welcomed the world to visit this feast of flowers. The entertainment lasts for five days and is based upon the fiction that It is given honor to the Queen La Fiesta upon her visit to the city. The arrival and pro clamation of the queen is followed by a historical presentation of floats; this in turn is followed by p contrasting of more modern times, with night par ades, floral parades, and. on the evening of the last day, with a grand ball. Al though flowers are scarce at all times in Kansas, Topeka has an annual flower show, for which artificial flowers are used As a mode of advertising a product peculiar to its locality, Greely, Colo., has potato day. On this day, thousand of visitors throng the town to taste and admire the-, splendid potatoes grown in this vicinity, Watermelon day at Rockford is al ready famous as an event which arouses ont only local enthusiasm, but attracts toruists from afar. These are only one day events that have made these towns famous1 all over the country and has made them flourish. Atchison,.

The carnival of the Veiled Peophet in St. Louis, has done its share of ad vertising. , But the carnival of carnivals is the Mardi Gras. celebration in New Orleans.

JUDGE CLINE'S INNOVATION White M en Taken to Convicts Camp at Thurman to do Some Honest Work For several years past white convicts have not been worked on the county roads. This has not been on account of the fact that the court did not think they should be compelled to do this kind of work but merely because there had been no provision made for seper ating the white prisoners from the col ored convicts. In the future white men who are sentenced to roads will go there in stead of spending their sentences in their cells at the county jail, eating up the food furnished by the county and giving nothing in return. This matter has been decided upon during the past few days. At last week's session of Superior Court Judge Cline sentenced a white man to the roads. The soli citor informed him of the existing con dition and told him that the sentence must necessarily be changed to a term in the jail. However, the Judge and county attorney h. M. Green got to gether on the matter and the result was that when the newly sentenced convicts were taken out to the convicts camp Monday to begin their sentences white prisoners went along with the others. There is a certain class of white men . . - who would 1 11st about as soon spend the winter months in the warm rooms of the jail, eating, sleeping and enjoy ing other comforts, as to be at large and be compelled to earn their daily bread. This class have had but little fear of the law in the past and the fact that they would not be compelled to get out and earn their food and clothing by the sweat of their brow has in some cases caused them to commit depre dations which they otherwise would not have done. The white prisoners will be kept apart from the colored but in other ways there will be no difference in their mode of living. SIMMONS VS. KITCHIN. Ex-Crongressman Thomas and Mr. Albion Dunn in Joint Debate, at Burgaw. Burgaw, Oct. 8. There was a joint debate here today between Hon. Charles R. Thomas, of New Bern, former mem ber of Congress from the Third Distract, and Mr. Albion Dunn, of Greenville bar. Mr. Thomas spoke in behalf of the candidacy of Senator Simmons and Mr. Dunn in behalf of that of Governer Kitchin. Mr. Thomas had an appointment to speak here, and accepted the challenge of Mr. Dunn. He stated in his opening remarks that it was against the policy of Senator Simmons and of the Demo cratic party to have joint debates be tween Democrats, but that local conditions justifie a joint debate and hence he accepted. ' 1 Mr. Dunn spoke first for an hour, and then Mr. Thomas spoke for an hour. Each had a fifteen minute re joinder. Each of the speakers spoke earnestly for his candidate. The friends of Mr. Thomas declare his speech, a strong and able presentation of Senator fSimmons side. At the close of the debate Hon. Johh M; Faison, candidate for Congress in this district made a vigorous speech for Wilson, Craig and Democracy. surpassing in extent and grand uer all similar events occurring in the civilized world. : i i The secret of success lies not in the lavish expenditure, but in the thorough avstem of organization with which the celebrations are planned, and carried out from year to year, i 'This celebration, has gJveh New Or leans an advertisement fhat it could not have obtained in.any other 1 Toronto kis famous i! for ttne: annual exhibition neld in the way- largest annual exhibition neld in the world, a number of other towns are famous for ine county lair gives mercnams an v excellent opportunity t& make the ac-s p-.-;: "v.y -V. quaintance ,.o ine,neignoonng, iwnieTa-.;..'...;. and residents of smaller, nearby towntvif '.'!&$ The- acquaintance ripens Into jWIJi ship'' and' mutual. respect Jthat not '"only t)"S'-':, I wins the trade but hold it for all time v,,s 5, ?
