SCOTLAND NECK, n. c., June %, So
am really proud of the bold stand you
take against Beauregard and Early. You
put it strong and you put it right. Ger
tainly they ''are untrue to the South" IN
setting a money trap by lending their
names and influence to the business that
is sapping the slow rising fortunes of many
of their companions in arms" Stick to
them and do the thing up in your accus-
toned way. The State press is growing
in power and such as yourself are the life
of it all DEMOCRAT.
such words are highly appreciated by

equally true of editors:

audibly as a full grown domestic cat, on
having his fur smoothed the right way by

in rapid succession. Custer scored in

runs were made on two hits, two stolen
bases, sacrifice and three errors.

Robb did the best batting for the home
team.
Allen coached and his tongue was as
timber as yore.
Considering Clusters broken finger he
caught an exceptional fine game.
Of course Kurtz caught model game,
he always does; not single ball passed
him.
Dozier Broome is going to practice
base running before the next game is
played.
Gilmore and Coon, the new men, are
good ones, and will strengthen the team
considerably.
Fits did not have an opportunity to
distinguishing himself as "chain-light-
ming thrower."
The Custer boys make fine battery,
and if they had received good support in
the field the result might have been diff
ferent.
Pelton has but one fault-he will try
to stop ground balls with his feet He
generally fails and disfgures the error
column.
AS pitcher Will Robb surprised both
his friends and his enemies. Sixteen
strike outs in one game is pretty good
work for boy.

merous swings and other amusements
afforded them. We had very quiet, but

A meeting of the Council was held on

Where is the marshal? Cattle run at
large on the east of the lake withoutfear

government any way? It has built a
pound which has been used once or
twice; beyond that it has done nothing.
The money collected in taxes all goes
for Office rent, books, furniture, saleries,
and other expenses. The marshal is
paid $50 for doing nothing, and the
clerk 800 for about an hours work in a
month--less than the secretary of the
Literary Society does for nothing. The
clerk is TO be the mayors secretary and
keep the docket, but the mayor has
never held court and the docket has
never been opened. 1t may be well to
keep up the machinery of town govern
ment, but if so the expenses and taxes
should be cut down one-half or two
thirds.

LEESBURG LICKED.
OPENING OF THE BASE BALL
SEASON IN DeLAND.
The DeLamd Base Bali Club Proves
too Much for the Leesburgs-A bat
terry Game-,Ehe $50 Stays at Home
An Easy Victory for DeLand's

AS per announcement the famous
Leesburg base ball team came to De-
Land on the Fourth to play the DeLand
club for an immense amount of glory
and a $50 purse.
The visitors were quartered atthe Put
nam, and the game was called immedi-
ately after dinner in order to allow them
time to finish the game and take the four
O'Clock mail for home.
The grounds were pretty well filled
with spectators, and there was nothing
to disturb the harmony of the game ex-
cept an occasional kick from the visitors
until the fourth inning, when it was in
terrupted by light shower. The rain,
however soon "held up" and play was
resumed. But as the ball and grounds
were wet it was a game of chance, and
the visitors having good deal of luck
got four runs in in this inning At this
point heavy rain came up and stopped
the fun for the day, with the score six to
five in favor of DeLand.
This last inning so encouraged the
visitors that they decided to stay over and
play the next day.
The next morning the game was call
at nine o'clock. The famous Custer bat
terry OF Eustis held the points for the
Leesburgs, and Robb and Kurtz for De-
Lands.
Pelton went first to bat he got to first

In the third Gilmore scored on base

on passed balls. Gilmore, Robb and
Kurtz scored in the sixth on errors.

two runs in the eighth on rank fielding

1t was evident that the Leesburgs
had hard row to hoe, but they were

various unsuspected ways! Impris-
onment or slavery for debt was one
means by which the power of the
few has been augmented. Church
and state was another. Slavery
was another. In Rome parents sold
their children into slavery. BY
that means and by war the numbers
of the slaves were forever being re-
cruited. In feudal Europe, land
lordism was the institution for de-
pressing the masses. In all govern
ments woman has never had
authority. In some she has had
great influence.
In a military state, ofcourse, there
is dcspotic rule over the masses by
the commander AMI his coudcil of
generals. In such state the masses
of laboring people are mere slaves.
In our industrial commercial age
new institutions are developing to
reduce the masses under a mild
rule by the power Of combinations.
Immense wealth in the hands Of a
few gives them the same power as
would the command o, armies.
Upon review Of the whole sub
ject we find that the evils of bad
governments, the very worst even,
consist only in destroying the com
forts Of the great masses in taking
from them the fruits of their labor
Of the great masses who are women,
children and poor men. AS to the
others they everywhere have been
able to take care of themselves.
