Old Doctors Out of Date
Times change and men change
ith them. Old things are laid
on the .shelf and new inventions
come into pla:(i. Old men retire
afid drop the mantlp on the
.shoulders o'f the youngster. New
discoveries are ever being made
and i'mproveme'nts will go on
forever.
But, the latest thing in Kings
Mountain is 4hc idea that has
recently come into' play to have
np'old doctors in town. Lots of
people“bet” oft the “old doctor'’
but Ave have the sad news for
you that there ai'e no more “old”
doctors hero. After doctor Mc
Kay’s redentinnovationin clean-|^eutal and public positions, 18
ing off the growth of year.s Dr.
.T. G. Fiord was the only “oLl
doct-or” in toAvn. Now ho has
“Come Clean',” has forsaken his
old “Jim swinger” and donned
an ice cream linen suit and looks
much Uie younger. Old things I essional .school,

of the two Carolinas, awis a re

aroused enthusism, enlisting ad
ditional recruits for the Univer
sity delegation to Black Aloun-
tain School one of the chain of
schools conducted by the Young
Men’s Christian Association,
amply offords profitable instruct
ions and delightful entertainment
to the several hundreds of stud
ents that attend each year. The
ground.s embrace over 1,000
acres, and the high elevation to
Avbicli the school attains—some
3.000 feet— coupled with adjacent
mountains and mountain streains-
that course through the grounds,
make for an ideal spot for a
summer resort and for Y. M. C.
A. Workers.
The University class of 1909

The 'Vhtal Statistics Luav is
proving to be the “hit of the
season’, as for health work goes.
The public is already taking
greater interest in haA'ing their
babies binhs recorded and in
reporting deaths than Avas eA'er
expected by the State Board of
Health.
A call at the ' A''ital Statistics
tfepartment today .showed that
for the month of April over 9,000
births and deaths ba\’e been
ported as against 7,100 for Alarch
artd only 4,300 for February. In
the opinion of the Board this
represents about nine tenths of
all the births and deaths actually
occurring in' tfie State. This
'apid increase in figures tells
better than word.'^ of the public’s
nterest in the rj,-Av law.
Our people no long, r mean to
be born, live and die and leave
no more record of their having
ueen here than so many animals.
Each human being certainly de
serves to have a pevmanant re
cord made of the two most im
portant eAmnts of bis life (his
birth and death) and to have
^these records filed in the archi
ves i)f the State for all time.
Aluch of the for the favorable
report of this county is due to
our admirable corp-S of local
reistrors to whom all those births
and deaths occuring in the var
ious towns and townships AA’ore
first reported. For the inforrna-
of our readers Avho may haA’c
occasion to report births and
deaths, avo give herewith a list-
of the registrars f^ir each toAvn

S. S. Association.
The King.s Mountain Sunday
School Association met Avith the
church at Bessemer . C-ity last
Saturday and Sunday. The at
tendance was not, quite so good
as we had exiiected but tlie in
terest of those present served
somewhat to offset any deficiency
attendance. The sessions
were fi-aught Avith eiithusia.sm
throughout. Intense interest
was evinced in every deoart-'
meat of Sunday School work
from tho cradle roll to the or
ganized class. AVo Avere indeed
highly pleased to see so much
interest manifested in the Buraca
Phiiatha mo.vement. It seems
that this system of organized
class work i.s the solution of the
•problem of getting men intO|th'4
Sunday School. ' ■
On Thursday last, a two aours
entertainment Avas provided the
residents of the town at the base
ball ground.s.
A representative team of our
married men tried sonclusihn
with the regular Kings .Mountaiiv
team.
The line' up of the in'arried meii
embraced' some of the old playei-s
of this vicinity who tried hard'
to live up' to their past record
as bao’e bail players.
The pitching end was looked
after by G. H. Logan our 0 ft,'
fellow tOAvnsman and he sure
did loom up big in that pitchers'
box. His delivery AA'ould have
done' credit to one of our big
kiagues.
It was intended th.at our Ex
National League pitcher C. A.
Ragan would shoAv up a few of
his benders and he was at the'
grounds early bub after taking
a survey of the business like
bunc-h of players who were to'
oppose him he conveniently
found he had business to attend
to in town and the ball grounds
saAv him no more. So' have the
ghty fallen and in our old age
obstacles loom up big before us.
The center of attraction seem
ed to settle around the second
base station which was presided
over by Dr. J. L. Hood. The
position was filled with enthusi
asm and energy if not Avitli hi.s'
old time ability and at times the
dust surely did lly around that
base. As a mark of praise Are
inustsav that the Dr. w’as the
star base runner of the game.',
At one exciting time of the game'
rith our csteamed brother
A\''eleh on second and our Di'.
on first a ball was bit to left .
field and AVelch had a hard time
of it to keep the Dr. from step,
ping on hi.s heels before he .
reached the home plate.
By the'way did you notice the
Doctor’.s throwing when he did'
get' the bail. AA’as he not a marvel
ous judge of distance and the'
position of the other players to
whom he tried to throAv the ball.'
The short stop’s position was
filled by C. A. Nisler and as
Ragan found it neces.sary to
carry off the right hand glove
in town to his business appoint-
menC'Our short stop had to wear
a left hand glove which he re
ligiously unbuttoned and re
moved each time he found it
necessary to throw the ball.
'he champion feather bed
man C. T. ‘Cornwell tilled the
left field pasture and Avhile he
had nb chances to earn fame in
the outer garden he gained glory
at the bat. On his second au-
pearance with the asli he con
nected Avitlv a safe single which
him on first. And Avas' he satis
fied AA'ith one laurel leaf?
hardly, for the excitement
had barely subsided wh'en en
ergy called on him to steal the
the keystone cushion which he
■jved' in safety amid tho cheers'
of the fans
The'other outer field positions'
Avere filled by Ridenhour, Par
sons and Greel AVaro Avhile lir.st
base was looked after at wirious
times by AVifich, Lee Logan and
LoA-'ell
AA'^e must, not forget to numtio.i
the real stars of the game was
Grady AVatterson at third base
and Boise Early at the recieving
end. These two played in old
time form and accepted all their
chances clearly and fast.
It Avoukl hardly be fairnoAv tc'
