The advertised game of ball between
the teams of Liberal and Beaver City for
last Saturday MAY l5) failed 10 matters
ialiZe because of the conspicuous ab-
sence of the Beaver City team. What
the trouble or misunderstanding was,
we were unable to find out. and il seems
to us that there is an apology due some.
body fer the Dlundcr. as a large audi
ence was present to enjoy the antici-
pated sport-News.
The apology is certainly not due from
the Beaver boys. Two weeks before
the date referred to, the writer, as cap>
tain and secretary of the Beaver team,
wrote to Liberal requesting game on
that date either at Beaver or Liberal,
preferably the fermsr. We received no
reply and no intimatien that the letter
had reached It's destination until the
News of the 18th reached us on the eve>
ming of the 10Th. after the time set for
the game. True. the Liberia! captain
wrote. but instead of addressing the let
ter to this shop, addressed IT TO Sheriff
Reas, who is member of the Beaver
nine. aud he being absent on official
business, the letter was not taken from
the psstoftice until the Thursday follow
ing-May 20. The boys here are sorry
that such misunderstanding existed.
but we hone that this explanation will
be satisfactory. and that there will be no
hard feelings. The Liberal base ball
club is composed Of a splendid lot OF
boys. aid no Misunderstanding sheuld
exist between the ball tossers of the
two towns.

Word was telegraphed here to Sheriff!
Grimes that Charles w. Parker died at
the hospital at Lansing, Kansas, on
Thursday, of heart trouble of some kind.
Parker was sentenced to serve three
years in the state peaitentiary at the
Noy.. '9j, term of the district court. for
bringing stolen property into the state
knowingly. He was considered the
leader of band of cattle thieves who
have infested this country and part of
Texas for the past several years; but
doubtless hewas charged many times
with crimes of which he was innocent.
That he knew of many crimes is beyond
dispute. and since be had already given
the authorities the names Of guilty par
ties and history Of their crimes, which
only awaited cumulative verification, we
can safely say that some parties breathe
easier, that Parker breathes no more.
Although he died felon. yet he was
possessed of some rcdeeming traits, and
there are not few who will remember
him kindly for his benefactiens. Ash.

These figures begin to antagonize what
seemed reasonable supposition. Massa-
chusetts, with her large percentage Of
factory hands shows a smaller average
TO the credit OF each depositor than South
Carolina does with her Iery small per-
centage Of factory hands. North Caro-
lima, with slightly larger percentage OF
factory women than Tennessee, shows
an average bank account less than half
the size OF that State. But the average
size of the bank account does not mean
so much as the proportion Of people who
have such accounts. In Massachusetts
one person in two has money in savings
bank; in Minnesota one in forty: in
North Carolina one in one hundred and
thirty four; in South Carolina, one in one
hundred; and in Tennessee, one in one
hundred and ninety-nine. Take these
figures in connection with the fact that
there are more opportunities to save in
the States that show the highest ratios
OF depositors to population and I think
we have found the great secret. Massa-
chusetts, with her 1877 banks places an
opportunity at the very door Of each one
Of her citizens to save, while Tennessee

MONEY IN TRUCK.
TIE TRUCKERS HAVE ALREADY
MADE GOOD MONEY.
The Shipments Up to Date Have Been
Large and Prices Good, With the
Best Crops Yet to Come.

Newbern, n. c., May 17.-(SpeciaD--
Last week marked the largest shipments
Of truck from this section for many years.
The shipments were immense-greater
than was ever expected when the seed
were depositd.
The different characters of transporta-
ton were bothered to handle the many
packages that were consigned to their
routes. Besides the immense quantity
that left stations near this city, steady
trains of farm team could be seen night
and day passing through the city headed
for the railroads stations and steamer
docks. Both boat and trains left daily on
schedule time, laden to their highest ca
pacity with truck, and Notwithstanding
the amount that left by these routes,
daily, packages were forced over for the
next days shipments.
President Hancock, of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad started out to
please the truck shippers along his route
at the first of the season, and we can
say he has successfully done it SO far.
He is running through trains to the
Northern markets, putting the truck IN
market quicker than has heretofore been
done via this or any other route out of
this city. This route picks up truck one
day and the following day has it in the
Northern markets ready for sale.
Cabbage shipments will last about two
weeks longer. One of our largest truck
ers remarked a few days ago, that he had
''cabbages to burn" and that this crop
alone would put him over the fence
in, 9th no cuff loss
in his investments in truck for the year
1897. That's true-every trucker will
have occasion to rejoice over his success
in truck this year, and it will be of in
terest to quote from them when the crops
are laied by.
The pea crop has about reached its end.
The last pickings will take place this
week The vines of the early peas, and
small paintings have already been cut
and housed. They are excellent to feed
stock with, and were gathered for that
purpose. The truckers were little put
out last week when the price of peas
dropped considerably in New York city.
The over-supply was the cause, and it
seems that everybody from this State and
Virginia shipped to this market on the
two days that the price was down. The
local spectators "got is in the neck" on
those days, and wore a long face when
the returns were read
The pea and cabbage crop has been a
great success, and with those two crops
the trucker has made the stuff not to
even mention the crops Of turnips, straw
berries, asparagus, beets, etc. These
all brought excellent profits.
Shortly the bean crop will be going,
then the greatest of all crops-the Irish
potato-and what they will do in paying
off mortgages and increasing bank ac-
counts will be "a plenty
