AS j. Frank Westmoreland
and his family have publicly
acknowledged being full Aedged
Mormans therefore, we under
signed, citizens of Kings creek,
5. c., and surrounding neigh
borhood not believing in the
Mormons do beg that no public
men nor company or private
person will sell them merchan-
die, give aid nor assist them in
any way; and any person or
firm assisting the above named
persons will be classed as NOR
mons and will not be patronized
by the subscribers to this article.
We believe this to be the best
way to get rid Of the Mormons
and hope that all will sign this
paper. Ii is Signed by Wilburn
& Wilburn, Caldwell & Ham
bright, w. Meek Faulkner, B.
Frank White, Sr., r. M. Plax-
leo and w. H. Westmoreland a
brother of j. F. Westmoreland.
The article is signed by the
above named business men Of
Kings creek and by about 1875
other men Of the surrounding
neighborhood, viz: Dr.. J. P.
Hambrighat and J. A. Hope, of
Smyrna, R. NJ. McElwe of Carp,
j. B Martin of Hickory Grove
and many others. J. Frank
Westmoreland is we'll to do
small farmer of Kings creek,
and had been prevailed upon by
several of his neighbors to cease
having anything to do with the
Mormons before this paper was
gotten up by the good citizens
Of the community, but he per-
sisted in his course in the mat
ter and the result is that he and
his family are entirely ostracised
and are alone in the community
both in business way and
socially. Two Mormon elders
were severely whipped Saturday
night by a party of men be-
tween Blacksburg and Grover3
n. c., also Grant Stewart was
buggy whipped the same night
at Blacksburg and Tom Martin,
of Cherokee Falls factory was
severely whipped that night on
account of utilization with the
Mormons. What will be the
result we do not know but the
people seem to be determined
to rid that entire section of Nor
mon elders and all who SYM
pathize with them. Hickory

SOME LOST
Beth Sides Cannot Win in Base
Ball Games.
Medicos and Knickerbockers Win
and Field Club Loses Two Teams
of Youthful Ball Swatters Have
a Joyous Time.

A good sized crowd of fans gathered
on Randolph Field last Saturday and
took much pleasure in seeing the
Knickerbockers defeat a team from
the New York and New Jersey Tele-
phone Company by score of S-6.
1t was good game from the start
and was won by the home team
solely by the superiority of their
playing. They banged the ball hard
and often, they fielded excellently and
they worked together as machine,
A couple old Morristown boys were
on the Telephone team They were
Charlie Heller, who used to play first
base on the Morris A. @. when that
organization was a top-notcher, and
L. Doyle, also of the old Morris A.
G. These two boys were the life of
the visitors, Heller playing first and
Doyle second base.
The only really good playing in
the whole game was in the fourth
inning when the visitors were at bat.
They had man on first and another
on third. The man on first tried to
steal second but Lyons beat him out
with the ball. Allen Immediately sock
ed it to first and Trowbridge threw it
to third. The man on third tried to get
home but was nailed at the plate by
LaRue. The ball did lot of travel
ing but it also did business and got
both sides so mixed up that it was
some time before they knew how many
men were out. When they discovered
1T was only one they were still glad.
The score follows:

AS slawSJudge of Essex County, he
gained the esteem and confidence of
the members of the Bar and his de-
cisions have been highly regarded.
He has been member of several
commissions to revise and codify var
ious statutes, among which was the
criminal procedure act, and the
exacting duties of the position were
rendered with satisfaction to Others

The enactment of the probation law

Third Ward Republicans Hoist

Great Speech on the Issues of the
Campaign by Senator MahIOn
Pitney--Large Crowd Present
ssAnd the Band Played On.''

The Republicans of the Third Ward
opened the local campaign with big
banner raising Tuesday night.
A large crowd was out for the event
which had been we'll advertised.
In Difference to Daniel S. Voorhees,,
the genial county clerk, the band
played on, and made merry music.
When the banner was flung to the
breeze the band played "The Star
Spangled Banner and the crowd
cheered There was a good display
of fireworks.
Isaac r. Pierson, of the Republican
county committee introduced Senator
Mahlon Pitney, the speaker of the
evening. In part the senator spoke as
follows;
The flag floating above your head
is the same under which the campaign
of 1896 was conducted. It is the
emblem of liberty, justice and right
1t was good enough four years ago
and it is good enough now. The
flag under which our fathers and
grandfathers fought, the flag under
which William Mckinley fought in
the Civil War, the flag which the
Rough Rider carried to the crest of
San Juan Hill is the flag under
which we are fighting today and
under which the campaign of 1900 is
to be conducted.
Four years ago spoke at gather
ing similar to this but further down
the street. | spoke for William
Mckinley and the Republican ticket
as am speaking tonight. The issues
at that time were almost identical
with the issues of today. The money
question was the one with which we
had to deal. It was the paramount
issue then and it is the paramount
Issue now. When the, question of a
sound financial system for the country
is at stake we look to the people to
uphold that which is right, that
which will give to the country a
SOlldlty and a stand1ng with the ma
tions which great republic must
have.
AT that time was convinced
that the people would not be led as
tray by false promises and that in
this county and in this state sound
money would be upheld. 1 predicted
that the State would give majority
of at least SO, 600 for the Republican
ticket and that the county would
give a clear majority of at least
1850. People said I was crazy,
that I did not know what /
was talking about, that in this state
it would be impossible to get ma

Play on the Links Practically Closed
For the Summer
Many of the Morris County golfers
are away now and for that reason
the links are rather deserted Nothing
is doing in the way of tournaments or
matches and probably nothing will be
on from now until September or the
latter part of August
On Saturday last team from the
Park Club of Plainfield played a
team from the Field Club on the
Field Club links. The match was
hotly contested but the visitors were
outclassed from the start with a
result that they were beaten by score
of $50. The score follows:

WHITE WINGS.

Editor of the Chronicle: I note that
the progressive city of East Orange
has decided to uniform its street
cleaners and that in the future all
men employed on the street will be
distinguished by the white wing"
costume. l believe that this system
of uniforms could be adopted in
Morristown to advantage. In fact it
seems to me that any city of ehis size
should have its street cleaning en-
ployes distinguished by uniform.

GREAT MATCH RACE
De witt c. Flanagan Wins Two Fine Cups
at Empire city.

A large number Of Morristown
horsemen attended the racing meet
at Empire City park last Saturday
where some of the best harness races
of the season were trotted.
The ball was opened by the 2. 40
trotters for the massive silver cup
given as. prize by DR.. H. Fl. Kane,
president of the Road Drivers Asso
citation. Twelve horses were entered
for the event but only eight started
and the real contest was between De
Witt @. Flanagan bay mare,
Martha and 7. J. Byrne's brown geld
ing, Redan.
From wire to wire of the first
heat, the two trotters fought hard for
the lead, Martha winning by a head
after a great race down the home
stretch. In the second heat Redan
got off in the lead and held Martha
at his wheel until the back stretch
was reached Here Mr. Flanagan
cut her loose and she did the second
quarter at 2. Is clip. Redan rallied
again in the stretch making an
exciting race home but the mare
stalled him off and won the heat in
2.19A. This time was something of a
surprise to the spectators as it is not
often that 2. 40 race is trotted below
2.20. Martha was in the 800 class
when she started Saturday. Mr..
Flanagan is now of the opinion that
she will go in 2. 10 before the season
is over.
But the great event of the afternoon
was the match race between Dewitt
Q. Flanagan's speedway flyer, Ivandorf
and Dell Whitehead's trotter Mus
queton, 12.74. This race put the free
for all PAGERS in the shade in the
matter of speed. In the first heat
Musqueton made a standstill break
and Iyandcrf walked in an easy
winner. The second heat was dandy.
The two horses went the mile side
by side and finished with Ivandorf in
the lead by half length. The heat
was given to Musqueton, however,
on account of the winning breaks
made by Ivandorf. Ivandorf's time
for this heat was 2. IA. which is the
best mile he has ever made. The last
heat went with a rush but at the
head of the homestretch Musqueton
made another standstill break which
again made Ivandorf an easy winner.
