on THE DIAMONDS YESTERDAY
THE GAME.
How it Was Won and Lost at Athletic
Park

Park.
The Hill Climbers had to take dose of
the same kind of medicine yesterday
afternoon that the Magicians have been
taking for the last four days The game
was witnessed by one of the largest
crowds of the season, large percentage
of which came from the City of Hills and
saw their pets 90 down in prettily
played game The visiting rooters had
tin horns in great numbers, and the din
and noise made by them in the first part
of the game was awful to hear, but it
almost entirely subsidized when Wrigley
smashed the ball over the fence, with two
men ON bases and brought in three runs
Coons and Stultz We're the opposing
twlrlers in the contest and it was bat
tie royal between two good pitchers.
Both men were in good form and pitched
a magnificent game, but the Magicians
succeeded in punching their hits in two
innings and won witha great deal of ease,
while, on the other. hand, Dusty kept
the hits so well scattered that it was inn
possible for the Hill Climbers to get more
than one man around the bases Picker
ing led off with n hit, but was called out
by theumpire for failing to touch the first
bag. Leahy followed with another hit to
the lefts field, but he tried to stretch it
into two-bagger and was,,thrown out by
Oherer at Seconu' Inc VISITORS dld not
get another hit until the fifth inning
Fear was given a base on balls, and Pick
ering raped out Il hot ,grounder to right
field Hill let it get away and Fear
scored, which saved the visitors from a
shutout. After the fifth, try as they
would, they never succeeded in getting a
man further than the third bag
The Magicians made their first runs in
the third. Williams went to first on
four balls, Tate hit for two bases, and
Wrigley landed the sphere over the left
field fence. The last two runs were adj
ded in the ninth. Wrigley and McGanp
singled, and the latter was caught at sec
ond on Hills grounder to Fear. Hill
stole second and Wrigley scored on Scha-
bells wild throw to Fear. Sherer followed
with nice little single that scored Hill

WASTING TIME.

st. Paul, Mimi, July %. In response
to call issued by Democratic Commit
teeman LAWYER, about 200 gold standard
Democrats met at Mozart Hall. A COM
mittee of one from each Congressional
district was named to attend the Chicago
conference of gold standard Democrats.
The committee on resolutions reported
utterly repudiating the platform adopted
at Chicago and declaring that the sound
money Democrats of Minnesota will re-
fuse to support the candidates of that
convention. The reading of the resolu-
ton was greeted with applause. The
resolutions favor calling of national

The Carolina Buggy Company.

For years THE DEMOCRAT has believ
ed, and has often expressed it, that j;
firstclass carriage factory would dc
we'll here We have urged that sucl
an industry be established in Scotland
Neck. At last it is here under the
name of The Carolina Buggy Company
The company is composed Of Mess. ]
E. Woodland, J. F. Futrell and Edw
Watson. Mr.. Woodland is president and
Mr.. Futrell is secretary and treasurer
1t has been regularly organized under
articles Of incorporation, and Is now at
active business.
The company occupies buildings
near the brick mill on Main street
Much improvement has been made in
the building, cOmmOdiOus black
smith shop has been added, and every
thing is now IN good shape and they
are getting all the work they can do
Besides the large amount of repair
work done, the present capacity of the
concern is two hundred buggies year.
The authorized capital stock OF the
company is $4,000.
Already there are employed three
black-smiths, painter, trimmer and
six wood workers. The work of the
company is the manufacture OF car
rlages, buggies, wagons, carts and the
like.
THE DEMOCRAT is glad to see this en-
terprise opened up, and submits that it
is the part Of wisdom and shows the
spirit OF fair dealing with our neigh
bors, to patronize this home industry
for whatever is needed in their line, il
they can give equal service at the same
cost.
Let US stand by our home industries
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1896-02-13
See Both Sides.


THE DEMOCRAT has always stood for
patronizing home industries. Time
after time have we reprimanded
through these columns, ia a gentle
way, persons who will send orders away
for goods which they can buy from
merchants here at home The home
merchants help keep up our schools,
churches, town government, &c, and
are entitled to our patronage. This is
what this paper has all the while main
tanned.
But does every business man III the
town recognize the fact that this paper
is business concern also?
We are prepared to do all kinds Of
printing in general use, but some bust
ness men Will take the trouble to write
to printing establishments away from
Scotland Neck and bubble over -
cents on thousand envelopes or note
heads and take chances on the quality
of material that is sent them.
At THE DEMOCRAT office you can al.
ways put your hands on the very ma
| terial you buy before it is printed and
we have always been accommodating
enough to submit proof to our custom
ers, if they desire it, before their work
Is prlnted-though it Is sometimes con.
siderable trouble
In plain English, we ask to do tie
printing for the business men Of Scot
land Neck. 1t is not lnfrequently the
case that when some one starts a new
business he openly asks this paper for
some "free putting"
/ Well, if this paper sees fit to give the
free puffs all right. (And what new
thing has started here that has not
been cleverly notlced?)
But to ask and expect free putting
by the paper and then draw the line
against us for every 10 cents that car
be saved by patronizing printing con
Germs away from home, is what some
men might call "picayunish."

a Serious Tram Wreck.

Thursday of last week as the freight
train from Weldon to Kinston was
within a few miles of Tillery, it was
derailed and wrecked by reason OF a
wash-out caused by the heavy rains the
night before The engine and four or
five cars passed over the weak place in
the track, but eight OF the next cars
we're derailed and completely wrecked.
The track was torn up for some dis
lance and cars were smashed and piled
promiscuously. There was much freight
thrown out and damaged, but no Sc
rious damage done to persons.
4 wrecking train was soon there and
it was Friday afternoon before any
