THE MOCKSVILLE R. R.
The Commissioners Make Propositic
to the N. &. M. r. r. Co.

i
to the N. {. M. R. r. Co.
A few days ago the Board of Com
missiOners of Winston, recognizing
the need ola railroad to Mocksville,
met and drafted proposition to
Col. A. B. Andrews, President of the
n C. Midland R. r.
The terms, as set forth, are that
the remaining $50, 900 of city bonds
are to be placed in the hands of
trustee to be turned over the n. c.
Midland r. r. Co. so soon as the
road is completed and trains running
across the. Yadkin river. The n G..
Midland R. r., for its part of the con-
tract, is to deposit a note, with Sc
curity, of $4,000, and one of 500
900 in the hands of the same trustee,
payable to the town,-the first note to
be surrendered to the town of Win
ston if the road is not completed to
Mocksville within six months; the
second note to be surrendered if the
road is not completed to some point
on the A. T. & O. r. R., within two
years from date of acceptance of con-
tract
All the commissioners except one
signed the proposition.
1t is stipulated that the endorse
ment of the notes shall be satisfac-
tory to the commissioners and their
counsel, Messrs. Watson & Buxton,
who have sanctioned the proposition
by their signature.
THE SENTINEL regards the PROPOSE
tion as fair to both parties On the
one hand it shows Col. Andrews that
our town is acting in good faith and
is willing to turn over the bonds just
as soon as it is satisfied that the
road will be built. On the other hand
our commissioners are simply acting
as good business men in requiring the
N. G. M. r. r. Co. to give a substan-
tial guarantee of the completion o.
the road, before they deliver the
bonds.
Col. Andrews now has the matter
under consideration

A COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR
The First Step to orgarize Has Been
Taken


Immediately after the adjournment
of the Citizens Fruit Fair Committee,
a number of the citizens of the two
towns being present, the assemblage
was called to order for the purpose
of taking steps to organize the For
syth county Agricultural Fair Asso-
citation. On motion of Mr.. r. Ste
vens, Col a. B. Gorrell was made
chairman and j. W. Goshen requested
to act as secretary The matter of

deemed of first Importance, the fol-
lowing Committee was appointed for
this purpose, viz:-Col. A. B. Gorrell
c. A. Hege and H E. Fries.
The committee to report action at
a called meeting by the chairman at
an early date.
The Importance to Winston-Salem
of an Agricultural Fair was recogni-
zed by all present and the success of
the Fruit Fair just closed and the
wheat and cattle exhibits of a few
years ago, together with the local
Fair last year in Vienna township,
attest that country and town are
ready for movement which it is GER
tain will prove of lasting benefit to
both. After a most harmonious in
terchange of views the meeting adj
jOurned subject to the call of the
chairman

your trophies of the soil beneath her
arched roofs and within her massive
walls. Her people are themselves

PLAY BALL!
Winston and Charlotte to the B on tn.
Latter'S Grounds


Latter's Grounds.
Winston has for some time Justly
claimed the champion baseball team
of the State, for it has never been
beaten except when it was first or
gained and in poor training.
Therefore it has boldly thrown
down the gauge to all North Carolina
clubs After some dilly-dallying.
Charlotte accepted the challenge and
agreed to play 3 games, using only
North Carolina men. A few days
later, however, the manager of the
Charlotte team stated his intention
to secure some players from other
States. Manager Crawford, of the
Winston team finally consented to
this on the conditions that the game
was not to be one for the champion
ship of North Carolina and that no
professional was to be allowed on
either team
On these conditions our boys went
to Charlotte After getting in uni
form and on the grounds they dis
covered that Charlotte had acted in
bad faith. Three of Charlotte's men
were professionals. Chapman had
played as professional on the Bal
timore team, a member of the League,
while the battery, Fisher and Payne,
are now in the employ of the Phil
adelphia Athletic Cuban Associa-
ton club.
On discovering these facts the VIM
ston club refused to play unless it
We're to besimply an exhibition game
and not for the championship of the
State This was consented TO and Il
fine game was played on Monday.
Rain prevented Tuesdays game and
we go to press too early to record
yesterdays game.
1t will be noticed that of the runs
made by Charlotte, ) were made by
the professionals, which argues that
if Charlotte will play Winston fair
game, using non-professionals, Vim
ston will do her up.
The game on Monday was witness
ed by about 700 people and the
grand-stand was crowded an hour
before playing began, with Charlotte
at the bat. Both sides played well
but Charlotte won by a score of to
g. The official score is as follows:
