GREENSBORO IS IN
Manager Rivers Says Base
ball Is a Go There,
A Splendid Site Has Been Secured and Five
Hundred Dollars Was Sub
scribed.

The base ball cranks of Raleigh will be
delighted at the news this morning.
And it goes without further remark
that all over the State the cranks. root
ers and rooterines and others who de-
| light in the umpires voice will feel
| pleased.
The good news which the wires brought
last night was that Manager r. c. Rivers,
of the Raleigh base ball club, which last
season chirped to the well known name
of Red Birds had seen the Greensboro
base ball people and that Greensboro is
to be in the State League.
The telegram which came from him
read after this fashion: Greensboro is
all right A splendid site has been Sc
cured. There is much enthusiasm and
$500 has been subscribed"
This brings the list of firmly fixed
clubs up to five, Raleigh, Durham, Char
lotte, New Bern and Greensboro. The
question is now up to the city of Will
mington, which is looked to as the sixth
club in the league.
Last season the Wilmington folks were
strong base ballists and had a rafting
good club in the field 1t would seem
that this year the enthusiasm has not
altogether subsidized, and that Whining
ton will get in the game again.
At any rate it is expected to, and Mr.
Rivers will go to that place as Minister
Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary
to mingle with the folks ard ask them
to play ball.
Raleigh is anxious to have Whining
ton in the league, and when the word
comes that Wilmington is in it will
cause much pleasure here

Yesterday Evening Empowers Mr.. Dughi
to Go Actively to Work

The Joint Committees on Orphanage of
the Occoneechee and Osceola Tribes of

State the following letter:
The Red Men of this city are very en-

No. 16, and Osceola, No. l. have both

luton which by the authority of these
tribes is sent to you to present to your
tribe for action which | trust will be
favorable
Would respectfully request that you
present this matter to your tribe at the
next meeting and would ask that you in
form me at once what action is taken.

and strengthen it as the establishment of
an Orphans Home, thus giving tangible
expression to merits of our noble order
The joint committee of Occoneechee
and Osceoa tribes, of which | have the
honor of being chairman. is fully empow-

Last week Mount Pelee was ID an

10 active eruption. Pour quoI? Can
somebody please tell me?
After dine deliberation the com
mittee selected by tue school board
awarded the position Of principal Of
the high school to Prof. J.R. Holmes.
Now | do not believe that in the face
OF the facts, any one viii have the
hardihood to deny Prof. Holmes
competency. Or to charge that he
was chosen over the head of a supe-
rior applicant. Why then all this
hubbub? Is it possible that Interior
motives or personal prejudices are to
determine the competency of u
teachers? Is it because Prof. Holmes
happens to hail from mississippi,
rather than massachusetts, or Kansas,
that the mountain is in such sore
travail! Is it forsooth that Boston
or Bavaria are the sole founts of
learning?
DO people who pay no taxes or
send no children to school suppose
that it is seemly that they should dc
tate Nho should teach other peoples
children?
The gentlemen composing the
school board, and those who served
the committee selecting the teach
ers are conscientious and capable Of
deciding such questions and when
the clouds of dust have blown away I
believe mature judgment of all well
thinking people will uphold their
action. RUsT1crs.

RIDIoN4L stands co-eval with the

vile was in reality "a wide place in

was the symbol OF wealth and power.
The wiry mustang and the gently
swaying caleshe were the approved
modes Of transportation. The stur-

herds, leading an ldyllic existence.
In every stage of progress of this

stood for all that made for the better

Abbeville is likely to fail of becoming
a modern metropolis within the next
six months simply because a few
milk COWS and livery stable horses
wander around the streets eating the
succulent grasses which adorn our
unpaved streets and sidewalks.
Towns which enjoy an absolute stock
ordinance have streets and sidewalks
grown high with weeds and grass,
aTording convenient harbors for
snakes and mosquitoes and they call
for relief as did the St. Martinsville
When the town is able to
afford sidewalks and grade the streets
and when the parish, or the 3rd ward
least has adopted q stock law it
will be ample time to dethrone the
town cow and we will assist at the
ceremony. Just now it is not practi-
and besides would harrass and
