PLATE PRINTERS LEAGUE.
Chicago Defeated Philadelphia Three
Times Last Night.

BY winning three games from the Phil
adelphias last night at the Golden Eagle
alleys. the Chicago bowlers clinched their
hold on second place. and moved within
.Os6 per cent OF the Washingtons in first
place In the Plate Printers League series
The bowling was not up to the standard
of the winners. as no total touched the
500 mark. but the rolling was good team
work, and that wins. The losers played
rather an in-andout game, and showed
totals from sol to III, lacking steadiness.
The players had little chance for practice,
and this accounts for their showing.
Lord rolled best average. with 1855. and
but for bad run of splits in his first
game, he would have had at least 100. He
had best single score with 203 in his
third game. Bowers came second best.
with 165 average.

Notes of the Day.

General Miles witnessed several OF the
races from the stewards stand, and ap-
peared to be an interested spectator.
The ffty-cent field was not much Of a
success. Only a scattering of the faith
full were to be found in the little en-
closure.
Obstinate Simon ran "a good race in the
last event for half the journey, when he
retired. He will bear watching.
Jimmy Mclaughlin trained four of the
youngsters in the two-year- race. but
he could not get place with any of
them. although he was sweet on the
chances of Gugai Bey.
A number of local layers of odds &C.
cupied stools in the pavilion, among them
being Charlie Caulifiower, who Cult a
loser on the day.
Flo Russell showed flash of speed in
the maiden all-aged race. but it was only
a flash and she finished last The winner,
illuminate, scored the easiest victory of
the day.

The teams composing the Plate Print

schedule this season. By consistent prac-
tice and a study of the methods of the
players of the veteran local league. many

members of which hail from the cities
for which the ''iives" are named as fol-
lows: Washington. Chicago. New York,
St. Louis. Boston. and Philadelphia.
Battle of the Teams.
The teams started on fairly even
basis, first one and then the other took
the lead, and Chicago and st. Louis
looked like stayers. but suddenly Wash
ington developed a winning streak. and
has not been headed since, and now holds
a good lead in first place, with Chicago
and st. Louis nicely punched for the next
two places.
AT the end of the season the winning
team and the winners of individual high

Mcb's Bullets Find the Mark.

Elizabeth City. N. c., April g.
Thomas Early, the negro who assaulted
Miss Perry at Ryland, Chowan comfy,
was taken through here to Edenton last
night.
Crowds gathered to lynch him, but
Sheriff Norman, with the assistance of
the military company, succeeded in pre-
serving order.
The Superior Court was in session and
the grand jury indicted him, and he was
tried, convicted and sentenced TO fifteen
years imprisonment in the penitentiary
before noon to-day.
Deputy Sheriff Robinson left with him
on the train this afternoon and he was
guarded by the military company until
the departure of the train. When mile
out of town some one on the train fired
four shots at the prisoner, one Of which
took effect in the head and three in the
cheek and neck. Deputy Sheriff Robin
son had narrow escape.
The train returned to Edenton for
medical assistance, where the military
company, guarded the prisoner. Early
was bleeding when brought back, but it
is thought lie will recover.

Paying the Pensions.

Every year, almost as soon as the
Legislature adjourns and the appropria-
tion for pensions becomes available, such
questions are constantly asked as, when
will the money be paid outp Why should
the poor old soldiers aud widows be kept
waiting so long for their money when
they need it so badly? ETC., etc
These and various other questions can
best be answered by simple statement
of the amount of work necessary before
this fund can be disbursed.
The various county boards are sup
posed to meet on the third Monday in
January of each year to pass on all new
applications and revise the old list of
pensioners. 1t is necessary in every
county to have several meetings before
they can get their reports in proper
shape to send in to the State Pension
Board, and even after they are received
here every mail brings in belated appli-
cations from the chairmen requesting
that they be added to their rolls. This
is not the fault of the boards, but is due
to the fact that the applicants for pen
time thu board meets, or have had diff
culties in getting witnesses, etc.. in
many cases the boards held their reports
back purposely, hoping to get all the
applications in at once. The State Board
reqested that all the reports should be in
by March, but the last one has just como
in, and therefore it was impossible to
call meeting of the State Pension Board
before.
The State Pension Board, when it
meets, has to consider each new applica-
tion, which is, necessarily, a slow and
tedious process, and also hear appeals,
etc. 1T is quite likely they will be in
session several days this year, as the
number of applications is very large.
After their work is over the pension
clerk then has to prepare the pay-rolls
for tho Clerks of Court of each county
and, as there are over 5000 names, this
of itself takes some little time.
It is the desire of the State Pension
Board to pay the pensioners just as soon
as possible, as IL are in constant touch
with them an. xnow just how great is
their need of this help and every expedi-
tion possible is used.

Col. Royt Not a Candidate.

1t has been rumored in political circles
that Col. James A. Hoyt would again be
a candidate for Governor, but he has
made a statement denying it. In the
Greenville Mountaineer he says he could
not be induced under any circumstances
to become candidate, and that s'his
vote in 1900 was duly appreciated and
there are no regrets on his part that he
made fight for principle, but he has
no desire whatever for office of any kind,
and he desires it to be known now and
henceforth that he will not enter tho
race this year or at any time in the fu-
ture. Friends in different parts of the
State have been urgent in their solicita-
tions on this line, but with due respect

Quarterly Report OF the State Dispensary.

Columbia, April 2.--The State dispen-
sary has made it's report for the quarter
ending March l, 1902. This report covers
the entire business for the months of
OF December, January and February,
perhaps the busiest months i'm the wear
The report shows that tho dispensary
shows on its books credit to the school
fund of $642, 2,20S.04, but it also shows
that every dollar credited to the school
fund is represented on the books as in
vested in liquors and supplies. The re-
port shows that the dispensary made, on
the books, over $4,000 on the liquor
sold during the three months covered by
the report One of the features of the
report is net loss of 81, 900 by the burn
ing of two dispensaries. The dspensary
at Bishopville does not seem to have
been insured for anything like the guam
tity of liquor on hand, and the business
OF BishopVille must be enormous to
necessitate the carrying of such a large
stock of goods on December 2S.

farmers to answer. In reply, Prof.
Newman said that we can grow on
the land just as good manure as we
can get from the stable. All the
value of the stable manure is derived
from the feed of the animal. We
may supply the humus by the plant
directly or we may run the plant
through the animal machine.
The difficulty in the change from
cotton to cattle raising is our ignor-
ance. We have to learn how to do
it.. We must raise more stock. To
do this we need fences, but we have
burnt our fences.
To get the humus into the soil was
the next point made by Prof. New
man. We must grow it on the soil.
This is natures process of restoring
soil. The old pine field and the
broom sedge are Gods blessing to
this country; they protect and feed
the soil. Do not burn :ne broom
sedge-that is ruinous plan turn
it under and help the land.
One-half of the people who use
fertilizers waste them, because they
do not, by means of cultivation, keep
the ground in proper condition to
give moisture enough to enable the
plant to take up its needed food.
Manure literally if there is a plenty
of organic matter, but if the lard
cannot give moisture enough to fur
nish fertility to the plant your labor
and manure are wasted unber ordi-
nary conditions. Plow and keep top
mulch of soil stirred to keep the
moisture in it for the plant. Plow
in ordinary seasons plow also in
dry seasons. We must grow food
for the plant; we must grow the
plant for the animal. "All flesh is
grass" is great truth of broad appli-
cation. All the industries of earth
depend upon the farmer growing
matter to supply his soil that it may
supply him.
