The Laurinburg Light Weights
came down last Tuesday, instead
of Thursday, and crossed bats
with the 'Kids" On the diamond
at the fair ground. It was an in
terestlng game: The, visiting
team made three runs on the first
inning, but the "Kids" scored
three immediately after anamade
1T evidsnt that they were not to
be easily beaten. The score
mounted up with free rapidity
that a professional player would
have laughed at-and especially
at the "Kid's' first base player
but nobody had looked for a pro-
fessional' game. The game was
called off in the fifth inning with
an even score-5 to 5.
The following from the Greens.
boro Record will be read with in
terest by Miss Fodie s many friends
here:: Miss Fodie Buie, stenogra-
pher for the Normal and Indus
trial College, left this morning for
Morehead City, where she will re-
port the State Medical Conyen-
ton next week. She will also
report the meeting of the North
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Assemblywhich
conVenes at Morehead on Tuesday,
the 10Th inst. It is more than
probable that Miss Buie will also
report the meeting of the State
Flreman's Association at Fayette-
vile in August. Miss Buie is one
OF the finest stenographers in the
State, and her work is a credit
alike to herself and the State Nor
mal and industrial College, at
which she graduated.
The fact that the Maxton Cot
ton Mills are running only OH
half time reminds us that nearly
every Northern mill, factory and

tlced that the pay of the high sal
arled officers has been reduced?
The fearful and deadly blight of
the single goldistandard fails with
pltless force on those. least able
to stand'it. But the Republicans
seem to argue that they are only

rent houses, nor live to have their

A railroad collision is rather an
exciting sight. Last Wednesday
'fternoon while we were near the
actory of the Maxton Manufactu-
ing Company, which is near the
