FIRST GAME.
August 10. That base bali game
IS over ccly after the lest man IS cat
was clearly demonstrated Wednes-
day evening, when with q score Of
to against them, Scotland Neck
tailed two runs after two men were
down in the ninth inning. 1t was one
of those ninth inning finishes which
makes base ball interesting to the
fans. Enfield had had their chance
and had failed to add to their score.
RiddiclS the first man up for Scot
land Neck failed to make the proper
connections for first base. Cotton
was there with the hit and promptly
stole second. Clark could not ad-
vance him and was thrown out at
first. Pendleton found Cuthrell for
one which placed him on second and
Cotton On third. 1t was I'D to Dunn
and he made good with neat hit
over second on which Cotton and
Pendleton scored. Kitchin was I'M
able to advance Dunn, who was left
on third, and the game was called,
score 3 and 3. Aside from this in
ming, catch in the right field by
Dunn, and Holmes pitching We're
features for Scotland Neck. Dick
ems at second for Enfed made a
pretty play by accepting with one
hand a hard chance directly over
second base. Matthews also made an
excellent catch in right field.

SECOND GAME.
The second game lasted only five
innings by agreement. Holmes went

while Whitaker did the twir!ing for
the visitors. Enfield mixed hit
with two errors in the first inning
and scored twice. They succeeded
in adding one to this in the fifth.
One run, which came in the third,
was as much as the home team could
score. The game was practically

morning, August %, 1908, aged "A
years. Her remains were inferred

afternoon, August "a, Rev. c. A.
Jones, pastor Of the Methodist

Mrs. Steptoe was we'll known

haps half century a member of the
Methodist church, and years ago
when the church at this place lost
all it's members but her, she stood
alone for her church, and by tie
mercy of the Lord she was permit
ted to live long enough to see her
church grow into prosperity again
and to see abundant fruits Of her
labors and steadfastness to convic-
ton. She was greatly beloved by
all who knew her, and her good and
gracious influence will live long in
this community in which she lived a
life Of singular beauty in all the
craces of a consecrated servant of
God.
The immediate members of her
family left are Mr.. W. N. Steptoe,
her son, and Mrs. Ferrall and Mrs.
Battle, her aunts.
The sympathy Of the community
goes out to them in their bereave-
ment.

Announces That the Pace is Too Hot for a Poor Man to Stay in the
 Race for Governor.

Green wood, Feb. 29.--- Hon. Robert w. MGFarlane tonight gave out formal announcement of his withdraw wal from the primary contest for the gubernatorial nomination. His communication contains the following paragraph as his reason for withdrawing:
 "The alignment for the race for the governorship has been completely changed in the last two weeks, and entirely new and different basis for political action made. The campaign, on account ot the pace set by Mir. Donaghey, has been d very expensive one. l have already spent Sl, 800 more than l expected to spend iu the whole campaign. It would cost S4, 900 more to finish the cam paign. This amount 1 can i'll afford to spend. Besides many of my friends have a strong second choice and 1 do not want to stand in the way when a principle is in volved, so 1 have decided to with draw from the race for governor.

Lvu1, RHOTON
 ON JEFF DAVIS
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton Charged That Senator Davis Rode of Free Passes and Was Party to
 Legislative Corruption.

Little Rock, Mar. 1.---Pulaski county court house was packed and hundreds turned away, un. able to get In, last night, to heal Prosecuting Attorney Lewis Rhoton deliver his political eulogy on Senator Jeff Davis, when grave charges were made against Senator Davis, and those who were close to him during his regime as governor and attorney general.
 Rhoton didn't mince matters, but boldly accused the former governor of being a party to the bribery which infested the senate and lower house of the legislature, and that he received benefit from 1t through A. w. Covington, the president of the senate, who was his close friend and representative. This state. ment, with the one that Charles Jacobson, private secretary to Governor Davis, had accepted money for pardons, and after 1t had been brought to the official notice of the governor, he failed to discharge the secretary, and later took him in as law partner, attracted much attent ,n. Rho- tons statements were accom- panied with letters and other documents in proof of his charge.
 The audience was most representative one, Tn which were judges, attorneys, mechanics, laborers, former governor and manv women. At all times the listeners were very quiet except when one of the thrusts of the prosecuting attorney struck home on Jeff Davis, and then there was wild cheering. The cheering was not for the prosecuting at. toruey DOT for any one else; it seemed 10 be spontaneous out bursts of enthusiasm of Jeff Davis getting his at last.
 For two hours and fifteen minutes Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton spoke, and so entranced was the audience, 1t was as large at the time he ceased his remarks as at the time he commenced. It was not until the windup that the speaker told of his reasons for delivering the speech, to de- fend himself against the attacks of Senator Davis, and should Senator Davis speak in the Sixth judicial district. Prosecutor Rho- ton expressed the determination to meet him if he would agree to any thing like fair division oi time.
