CHARLOTTE AS a SUMMER RE
SORT.
Charlotte has many attractions as Il
summer resort. The trolley cars as they
move along generate IL breeze that makes
YOU think of Morchead or Wrightsyille
and Latta Park furnishes a great deal
more in the way of amusement than the
average summer resort The casino is
large building. which comprises Il
soda fountains ice cream and refresh
ment parlors, dancing pavilion, obscrvi-
tory tower band stand, with porches
around the whole structure. Adjoining
this is the new auditorium, the best ar
ranged structure of its kind in the South.
1t has accommodation for ] 300 people
and is fitted up with opera chairs. One
side of the structure opens on a spacious
porch, raised high above the ground,
where one can sit in rocking chair and
enjoy theperformance to his hearts con-
tent The stage is well arranged and
fitted up with ample scenery. Here each
night there is ii vaudeville performance;
songs, dances, one act farces, mlnstrelsy,
wargraph pictures make up the perform
ance, and the music runs all through the
show. The price of admission is purely
nominal and this is one thing that makes
Charlotte attractive in summer 20 visitors

CONCORD CHAMPIONS FALL
DOWN.
Concords baseball team has up to this
time defeated every club she has played
in Western North Carolina and had
made reputation that eXcels that of
Tarboro in the eastern part of the State.
But she has met her match. The Pelzer,
S. c., team has handled the Concord
boys as if they had been children. 1t
is hoped that Charlotte will be able to
secure the Pelzcr team. and efforts are
being made in that direction.

he kept his business to himself.

ton are excellent. They say the De
mocracy of the district is united and
enthusiastic and have started into the
campaign to WIN
OVER RI" For FUSION.
The PoDulsts in this county have
made overtures to the Republican for
fusion on the county and Legislative,
though this has not yet been arranged.
A number of Populists who wanted to
fuse with the Democrats and were dis
appointed will not vote for the Repub-
Leans if they put them on the ticket
They will hardly stomach a bad-smelling
mixture this time.
THE COUNTY CANDIDATES.
The Democrats are confident of carry
ing Mecklenburg this year by an old
time majority, and consequently the
candidates are plentiful. The candidates
for the Senate are Frank |. Osborne, w.
c.. Dowd, w. Il. Audrey, and Il. a.
Grier. For the House number of
names are mentioned, but it is about
settled that Heriot Claiborn is to be one
of the nominees. Morris Mcdonald VIII
probably be nominated for register Of
deeds. Mr.. Il. III. Walker will be re-
nominated for treasurer. FOR the other
offices there are too many candidates for
one to pick the winner easily.
