DRIVING PARK.
Movement on Foot for
Purchase Of Property.
Plan Is 10 Sell Stock and
Organize a Corporation.
Project a Popular 0ne..0ver 5000
Already Subscribed.

A movement is on foot, and with
good backing, for the purchase OF the
Driving park property with a view 10
maintaining it for what 1t was orlSi-
nally intended, a place in which TO hold
horse racing and also outdoor sports OF
all kinds. in short, public park for
amusemcnts of every nature.
The park is the only place which Au-
rusta has which can be devoted to the
objects above mentioned. and if the
tract Of land which comprises it were
divided up and sold off into hOusclots.
as is understood to be the intention of
the owners, the city would forever
lose the opportunity of having anything
of the kind within it's limits.
It was the knowledge of this proba-
bility that gave rise to the movement
which has now been started and is
well under way, to secure the property
that it may be retained for all time as
place for public amusement. A 80
day option on the property for the sum
Of $4,000 has been secured, and meas
ures were taken yesterday for raising
that amount.
1t is the intention of those who are
pushing the matter to form a corpor-
alton and to raise the required amount
by subscription for stock, the stock to
he placed at $40 per share. II. w. Nor
cross began the canvass for stock yes
terdav and the interest that is felt by
the citizens in the movement for re-
tanning the park is attcstcd to by the
fact that in less than six hours time
lie secured subscriptions to over $4,000
worth of stock.
1t is desired to raise in addition to this
$4,000 required for the purchase of the
land about $4,000 more for the purpose
Of carrying out the work which will
have to be done upon it and which will
include the building of new fence
around the tract, the building Of new
horse stables, and q new grand stand,
judges stand. etc, in short, to restore
it to it's original condition as it was
when new. 1t is also intended If posi-
bic to build a coliseum for dancing or
other amusemcnts.
The carrying out of the above plans
will guarantee to the city first-class
track for horse racing. a good baseball
diamond, place on which to hold cir
cuses and as stated above, anything in
the line of outdoor sport. The idea is
certainly a popular one, and it would
seem that it's success is already as
sured.

THEY SETTLED.
Five Augusta Boys Fined
at Winthrop.

Winthrop Cost Over SIPS.
Desecrated Church and Committed
Other Acts OF hoodlumism.

Winthrop, Nc. July S.-(Spccial)-
Before Recorder Gage of the Winthrop
municipal court there was enacted this
morning the concluding CHAPTER of the
Fourth of July celebration" which has
aroused so much feeling and indigna-
ton in this section. Five boys, all I'M
der Is ard III! hailing from Augusta,
pleaded guilty to the dissertation of the
East Winthrop church and otEcr acts
Of drunken hooGlumism in that village
carly on the morning of the Fourth,
and paid fines and costs amounting to
over $125.
This was to settle the civil part of
the case and to Fay for the damage
done. The criminal charges are still
pending, nut action upon these will
probably not he taken as long as the
boys continue on their good behavior.
The boys involved in the unhappy af
fair are al SorS Of reSrcCtahl- Parents
and ought to have been in much bet
ter business. They arc George Morse,
Winnifrcd Larraboc, George Small,
two named are thought by the officers
to have been les seriously involved in
the affair than the others. but they
had a hand in ut least part Of the out
rags committed and all $uif, red
equally. Their case was looisc,. after
in court by Joseph Williamson of the
firm, Of Williamson. Il Burl"iEh of Nu-
ECsta. Mayor Plaistcd OF Augusta was
also nr"S"rt and after sent "ncc had
been Imposed he gave the youngsters
good, serious talk which il is hoped
they will not soon forget.
Tho acts which caused all the
trouble were committed early on the
morning of The Fourth at East Win

there. 1t took the officers several days
t. fix the blame on the guilty parties.
Constable w. l.. Mace of East Win
thr"r. City Marshal Donovan Of Halo
well and City Marshal Fletcher of Au-
gusta being the most active in the task
OF bringing them to justice. When fin
ally the guilt had been fastened upon
th"n. warrants were sworn out and
served by City Marshal Donovan of
Hallowcll. and when confronted with
the evidence the boys made a clean
brcas! Of tho affair. The only excuse
they offered, if excuse it can be called.
va that they had INDUCED too deeply
in whisEcy and wine bought in Au-
gusta and old cider procured i'm this
town before starting on their celebra-
ton from the camp where they were,
located not far from the pumping sta
ton.
Tho chief outrage perpetrated and
the one causing the greatest indigna-
ton was the observation Of the East
winthrop. church and chapel. Win
doWs were smashed. the clock torn
from the wall cushions torn and dis
arranged, Bibles ard hymn books piled
into the stove, ard all the damage
done which they could think of. An
attempt was evidently made to burn
the Bible upon the pulpit anG several
leaves were badly charred. The WIN
