 A number of errors by both teams caused the large score. The Fitchville pitcher was speedy and was very wild at times and walked a number of men. West pitched good game and was steady. He was relieved in the sev- enth inning by Lyman, who also pitch ed good ball. One of the features of the game was a home run by Laszink. which brought in another run. For the Fitchvilles coughlin played star game on first.
 Charles H. Strong, who has man. aged the Independents this season. has given the public a chance to see some good team. It is hoped that Manager Strong will continue and bring out a good team next year.

BOY dies
FROM ACID POISON

Little 81. c., the four-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Wallace, died at
the family home, West Pine street yes
terday afternoon and the funeral took
place from the residence this after
noon at o'clock, Rev. A. F. Watkins
officiating.
The child's death was caused by
the drinking of an ounce of muriatic
acid Monday afternoon. He was play
ing around a store across the stree
from his home and some workmen
had the acid in a pop bottle to be
used in soldering, the boy spied 1t and
probably thinking that it was soda
water grabbed the bottle and drank
the contents almost at a gulp. z

going forward to the building centers.
Some of the railroads have already
been buying quit freely and others
are expected to enter the market at
an early date.
Textiles Improved.
"There has been a great deal better
feeling in yarns for the past ten days
than since the first of the year. On
a good many numbers there has been
a marked advance. AS an instance
of the increase 24s two-ply which
were sold at II 1-2 cents ten days
ago are now selling for 10 IL cents,
and most mills are asking 20 cents.
The soft yarns are particularly strong
and have advanced more than the
hard yarns. This may be traced to
the fact that the knitters are salts
fled that the tariff bill will not affect
them, and are placing orders far IN
advance. The advance in the price
of cotton has in a large measure af'
fected the price of yarns, also, and
brought consumers to a realization
of the fact that prices were lower
than cost. and less than they will
probably be for some months to come.
Mills on export drills and sheetinS
are having all the business they care
for and while prices are not as sat
isfactory as might be desired pract.
cally all the export mills are now
sold up for six months on basis ut
which they can make some profit.
"The trade for export is improving
and it is stated that a large NUMBER
of Southern mills having shirtings,
sheettings and drills to offer at a
price are getting orders for China aid
Red Sea. 1t is expected that the great
bulk of export cottons will devei9p
during the coming six or eight weeks
and this will give mills work suffi-
cient to keep them running till the
midsummer months.
"Taken on the whole the situation
affecting the textile industry in the
South is decidedly improved over tha'
obtaining a month ago. There is nc
cessation in the work of building
new mills, and during the past week
a number of large mills have been
chartered in various Southern states.
