BASE BALL.

There was a meeting OF the business
men last week for the purpose Of
talking over the base ball situation in
Crystal Falls. While there is general
sentiment that we ought to have a
team and it is cinch that. were the
boys doing business their exhibitions
would be well patronized yet there
seems to be backwardness in putting
shoulders enough to the wheel to get
the load moving. There are two
obstacles TO surmount in order TO get
the game going on business basis.
The first is to get good grounds near
the city where the people can walk to
and from game without tiring them
selves out The second is to secure
some Kind Of fence so that an admis-
sion fee may be collected
The general sentimet is too fix up
grounds on the lands back Of the court
house and at the meeting mentioned a
committee consisting os X. 3. Webb,
j. H. Parks and Herman Buenger was
appointed to get the grounds and have
them graded. The committee has
done nothing to date on account Of Mr.
Parks being out of town. The per-
mission OF the owners could easily be
obtained If the matter was got at
The fence project is to be sovled by
getting n canvass fence. The boys
hope to get ads enough on the fence to
pay for it, A committee consisting of
j. III. Corcoran. Thos. Conlin and
A. Justified was appointed on fence.
II is certain that il grounds could be
secured and fence put up that the
business men would not be troubled
to help support the team. Base ball is
the only amusement that we have here
of a Sunday. II advertises the town
and helps out the place in many other
ways. What's the matter with putting
some ginger into this thing gentlemen
and either do business or say quit.
The first game of the season in
Crystal Falls will.be played tomorrow
between the locals and the Republics
The home team is considerably Grip
pied but they hope to pull out victory

FRICTION
CAUSES POOR
RESULTS.
Evidence That Electric
Ligh. Service is Hampered
Because Of Misunderstand-
ings. Service Deterioratins.

The inferior quality of the lighting
service within the past two weeks has
been the cause of great deal of ques-
tion about the city and complaints
have been piling up over the services
In order TO find out the cause, If
possible, the writer visited the power
house last Wednesday aud found Mr.
Evits attending 10 the work there.
''What is the matter with the light
of lateY" was our first question.
There is too heavy loaa on the
dynamo was the reply. When we
started here we had just about load
enough and the lights about the city
were good but they Immediately began
to add new lights until there are now
more lights on the dynamo than she 's
able to carry and give good service.
rs there no way of bettering con-
itdions with the material and machin-
cry now on hand, we continued
Yes there is The small dynamo
could just as we'll be put in place
beltei to the same pully that is turn
ing the present dynamo and the re-
sidence circuit could be put upon it.
That would give the city good service
and would be ample to take care OF
all the additional lights that will be
added to the circuits for this year
There is no excuse for letting that
little machine lie there under the
circumstances as we have just received
new parts for the worn out ones and
the machine is in tip-top condition.
"Why don't you suggest that move
we inquired

has evidently not met with approval
for the machine has been lying there

no questions.
Mr.. Evits then pointed out TO us the
machine and also the new parts lying

He also pointed out how he proposed
to set the machine 80 as to run it with
the same pully and all of is plans
seemed to us to be feasible and ones
that would, IL put into execution. CIV,
the people OF the city much better
service than they are now getting.
While Mr.. Evits did not say 80, YET
between the lines of the mans con.
versation and from appearances in
general, it is self evident that there il
friction in the management Of the
new light and power system which il

who are paying the freight. We are
not prepared to say where this fric-
tion lies, but we do say that if the
business was one OF private ownership
the management would have been at
the bottom of the trouble long ago and
the conditions would have been re-
midied or some heads would come off.

URGED TO GROW NATIVE SILK.
State Biologist of North Carolina Dis
tributing Mulberry Trees.

State Biologist of North Carolina Dis
~tributing Mulberry Trees.
There Is a new chapter in the awak-
ening movement for growing native
American silk in the South, begun by
Gerald Mccarthy. biologist of the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture, at Raleigh, n. G.. The State
is arranging to furnish free mulberry
trees to farmers who will experiment
in raising silk. All over the State of
North Carolina Mr.. Mccarthy is scat
tering this circular:
1.-THE first seasons experience in silk
growing in North Carolina has proved
a most gratifying success. 1t has dem
onstrated that the women and chill
dren of the State may, by light and
interesting work during six weeks of
early summer, earn, without interfer-
ing seriously with their ordinary du-
ties, at least $50. Those who can de-
vote more time to the work may earn
much more.
ITO place silk growing upon a perma-
nent basis we must increase the out
put of silk cocoons to a volume which
will attract to the silk reelers and
weavers, thus creating a home market
for the product of the silkworm. The
first and most necessary step is to in
crease the available supply of silk
worm food. We must plant mulberry
trees until each farm suited for this
kind Of work has at least 100 trees.
Every farm having dry soil, lying be-
tween Goldsborough and Statesville or
Asheville. can successfully grow silk.
In order to encourage the planting
Of the mulberry the State Department
Of Agriculture will distribute among
the farmers Of North Carolina in lots
of fifty and one hundred rooted seed
ling trees of the varieties best suited
for feeding the silkworm. Not more
than 100 will be sen to one person.
"Silk growing will prove valuable as
nature study and a remunerative art
In schools and is well worth the at
tention Of all who have supervision
over educational institutions. 1t is also
well adapted for charitable institu-
lions. Public institutions which wish
to experiment with silk growing will
be supplied with trees"
North Carolina is only one Of the
possible States for the growing of silk,
this scientist says, according to the
New York Times. He expects a wide
range for Its production before many
years, far beyond the confines Of the
Southern belt.

MISS DUNLAP ACQUITTED.
Jury at Aledo. ILL.,, Finds Young
Woman Not Guilty of Murder
of Allie DOOl.

Aledo, ILL.,. Jan. 5.-Antoinette Dun
lap was Saturday acquitted of the
charge of poisoning her chum, Allie
Dool, by means of chocolates contain
ing strychnine. The jurors worked
over the testimony all of the night.
On the first ballot they stood nine for
acquittal and three for conviction.
When the next ballot was taken there
were four for conviction, and then the
sentiment turned in her favor, and on
the seventh ballot all were in favor of
acquittal. Lack of motive was the
strong point in bringing over the three
men who at first voted for a verdict of
guilty.
The case is one of the most interest
ing in the criminal annals of Illinois.
On the night of August Miss Dunlap
purchased some chocolates and shared
them with Allie Dool, her closest
friend. Miss Dool was Immediately
taken i'll and died shortly afterward in
great agony. In her dying statements
she practically accused Miss Dunlap of
poisoning her. At the preliminary
hearing Miss Dunlap was dismissed,
but subsequently the grand jury in
dicted her and she remained in jail
three months pending the trial which
has just concluded and which occupied
five weeks.
