THE TRICKY BOY.

he IL bO1.
When 1 was a boy going to school
there was a kid in my class we all
called pretty smooth. He never studied
much but he always managed to copy
enough from the studious girl Who sat
IN front OF him to pass his exam1na-
lions. He whispered as much as any
BODY else and did as much devilment,
but he was so smooth he seldom got
caught. AS he grew older his crooked
ness increased and he was able to get
along with less work than any of the
other fellows. He always claimed the
world owed him a living and he was
going to get it. He collected that liv-
Ing for a long time with not much
physical effort. But he finally got too
fast, as he thought, for the company OF
his little community and got into
higher class. In two months he was
in the penitentiary. He came out With
out reputation, friend or trade 10
in trouble. The moral of my smooth
friends tale is that it doesn't pay 10
try to get too smooth. 1t doesn't pay
to start to stealing your examinations,
getting caught. to try to get through
life without work. Most of the dull
fellows in that little class of ours are
now men of money, reputation and IN
fiuence. The smooth kid is an outcast,
a jailbird, wanderer on the face of the
earth. Don't spend your time practlc-
ing to become a smooth guy.-The VII
lage Deacon in the Osborne Farmer.

against Sunday base ball. The bust
ness men. and citizens generally,
have made their influence felt on that
subject, and the officials seem to be
of the opinion that the presumed law
against Sunday ball games, like those
against scores of other things so it
regularly and non-uniformly enforced,
as well as like those which have
been dead letters for years in all To-
caltes, Is one that is not sustained
by majority public opinion anywhere
With 5000 people out to see the
first Sunday game played in Marion
and no interference with the game
warrants not issued until next day
prosecution of which nobody seems
specially anxious to press and last
Sundays game witnessed by $500
people, followed by no arrests or af-
iidavits, 1t looks very much as if the
same conclusion has been reached in
the majority of cities in the state,
viz. that the same popular sentiment
that prevents the enforcement of
scores of other laws which would
cause the arrest and fnng of a great
majority of citizens. good. bad or in
different in every community, week

against interference with Sunday base

agement is after two first class
twirlers. Secretary Glepper this
morning wired the manager of one
cf the American Association clubs
for the loan of a couple Of pitch
ers. Pitcher LOUIS Hunt, who fail
ed TO report in Sharon this spring
has been placed on the ineligible
list. Manager King saw Hunt this
week at Portland, Ind, and he said
hat he would not join Sharon.
The ease was laid before Secretary

Burning aggregation has been playing

Sharon had a bunch of new ones who
were taking hard raps at the ball, but
their time has come and they are
not paralyzing 1t now. The same

There was a very interesting
meeting of the Aldermen held last
Thursday night. Upon applica-
ton by the stockholders a fran
chise was guaranteed the Pied
mont Carolina Railway Co., for
the construction of another street
car line for Salisbury.
An ordinance, giving authority
for the calling of a bond election,
was passed. The amounts of the
bonds,desired to be issued is $780,
600.
The street car company of.en
runs a car to the siding in front
of the Central Hotel and makes a
return trip, leaving such "passen-
gers as may desire to go further
without any other alternative but
walk or pay another fare. The
Aldermen think the company
should give transfers to those who
desire to continue their journey.
A committee was appointed to
confer with the company OH this
point.
A gentleman wishing to- do a
Junk business here asked that
the junk license. $500, be reduced.
This was refused.
