Hand-C Cuffs a Small Boy.

Last Saturday night two
small boys were playing on Wa
ter street. During the frolic
one of them was hurt. The
other was reported to Officer
Ives, and on Monday morning
Ives armed himself with a war
rant and went in search for the
boy, Eddie Harrison, aged 10
years, who was at work at
Blades mill helping to support
his widowed mother. The boy
was told that the policeman was
after him aud, boy-like, he tried
to make his escape. Officer
Ives, on seeing him running,
commanded the youngster to
stop! But away went the boy.
The officer fired his pisto! and
the boy came to a hault. Up
came Ives with a pair OF hand>
cuffs and shackled the boy, and
after producing the warrant
Stated for the station house. To
be brief, the boy was tried by
Mayor Wilson and released,
there being 20 evidence that he
had in any way committed an
ofense.
Officer Ives is a large, robust,
heavy built man of about 200
pounds, and the handwriting of
the little Harrison boy has
caused much comment by the
people and some sharp things
are being said.

Industrial Education.

The North Carolina College
of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts begins its eleventh session
Wednesday, September 1st 1899,
with an addition Of an important
department. A coarse of instruc
ton in Textile Industry, which
IS attaining a phenomenal
growth n this State and through
out the South, and which
requires specially prepared and
skilled superintendent for its
various branches has been added
Hitherto it has been necessary
to get such from the New Eng
land Cotton Mill district, or
elsewhere, but now an opportu-
nifty is to be given the youths Of
this State to acquire the skill
and knowledge requisite to fill
these positions.
This College has already at
tanned an enviable reputation for
turning out graduates of highest
excellence in the various
branches taught, and they are
filling positions of trust which
require skill and a technical
education. The demand for per-
sons so educated is far in excess
of supply.
We advise any young man
to seriously consider taking a
course in this institution.
Entrance examinations will
be held at the courthouse in the
various county seats August
10Th, under the supervision of
the County Superintendent, or
in Raleigh, September 5th.

CLINTON SECURES A VICTORY.

Clinton, July PIN the fierce light
that beats upon the modern pitcher,
Jim Boland, has been, from the
country town of Lancaster, pitched
seven swift innings, and surrounded a
team of star stickers from Mt. Wash
ington with dismay and amazement
1t was three years since Boland had
pitched full game, before today. 1t
was one year and six months since lie
had ball in his hand
When he stepped into the box he was
covered with flesh, and the gentlemen
from Mt. Washington looked at him in
polite contempt. At the end of the inn
ing he was covered with glory.
The contemptuous sticksmen went up
and famed the air in one, two, three
style. Jinn's old-fashioned twisters and
slow balls fooled them completely,
while a crowd of two or three hun
dred Clinton people went wild with de-
light
Boland not only pitched good ball.
but he gave an example of physical
endurance that has not been seen in
the base ball field in Clinton in years
before
He pitched for two or three innings
after each motion of his arm caused
him excruciating pain. 1t was not till
the end of the eighth inning that ne
laid down the ball and abandoned he
task Of completing the defeat of the
visitors, who, as result of Boland' S
work, and the strong batting Of the
local players, went home with a score
of 10 to 6 against them
Mike Ball was put in Jim's place.
Mike is not pitcher anyhow. He
wasn't feeling as well today as he does
sometimes, but he continued the work
that Boland began. Jim had got the
Mt. Washington team so ratified they
couldn't have hit the ball successfully
if baby had pitched it.
The game was loose throughout, but
it was most enjoyable. The attendance
was regretably small. T. j. McManus
did the umpiring. AS usual, his decis-
ions we're gratefully received. Con-
naughtcn, the old national Lacquer,
distinguished himself by all round good
play for the local team. O'Brien con-
tinues to deserve the claim that he is
a born bali player. Boland was warmly
congratulated by his friends after the
game was over. But he'll have lame
arm tomorrow. The full score:

CIVIC SOCIALISM.

ANOTHER IRISH BILL.
Imperial Legislation For

ton.

The city of Glasgow is, in many re-
epeets, one of the most remarkable
and interesting municipalities in the
world. And this, not because of any
wonderful historic lore that may be
entwined about it's name, or of any
generosity of nature that made its sur
roundings attractive to the eye. In
deed, measured by either of these stand
ards, Glasgow is one of the least re-
markable and most uninteresting OF
the cities Of the world. Her one great
claim to civic distinction lies in the
really wonderful public spirit, courage
and enterprise of her citizens.
Not more than 40 years ago Glasgow
had some of the worst s1nms to be
found in any city In a small and
frigh3fully unhealthy area, $4,000 hui
man beings were crowded together
and the sanitary conditions were the
worst imaginable. 1t is not surprising
that these Elums should have been hot.

should have been 4S.2. Owners OF prop

Glasgow was forced to take the prob

obtained, giving the council power tc
eondenln property, tear down tenemeI
buildings and erect new ones, to be
retained and rented by the Civic au-
thorities.
The change effected under the new
regime was simply marvellous. The
buildings or rookeries in foul Stun dis
tricts were swept out Of existence, wide
streets were laid through, blocks oi
model lodging houses" were erected
and the latest sanitary conveniences
we're introduced into the DWELLING
houses Of the reclaimed localities.
Some idea of the magnitude Of the
work thus performed may be gained
from the fact that today the city OF
Glasgow owns property through those
districts that is valued at sixty mil
lions Of dollars. This great movement
OF regeneration led to an extension OF
the broadcast lines OF the new policy
