NO'F FOR
 BINGVILLE!
t Is ths General Opinion That Ws Don't Want any TsIsfonss In Our Midst -BhgvIIIs Has AIIus Got Along Without 'sm an Can
 Continue to Do So

The Farmers Telefone Company
 which was started in the Co. Seat last
 summer has got a line bilt now from
 there to Hardserabble, a distance of Is
 miles. This teiefone line passes within
 mile north of Bingville, and last week,
 several of the offishials of the Company
 was in Bingville trying to get sub
 scribers. They said if they could get
 Is subscribers in Bingville, they would
 run telefone line from here to con-
 neckt with the Main line a mile north,
 which would enable Bingville to talk
 with the Go. Seat or with Hardscrab-
 ble. :.
 For the benefit of them who don't know what telefone is, we will ex- plain. It is a contrapshion something
 like a telegraff line. At each end of the line is two things, a sender and a receiver. You take the sender and lol- Ter Hello" in it, and then you put the receiver to your ear and lissen, and by and by the, person you are talking to at the other end of the line hollers Hello" Then you say whatever you have to say if you have anything to say, and the other person can hear you just as plain as if you was in the same room altho you may be several miles apart. The telefone is a great inven- shion. The man who has a telefone in his house can call up his nabor and tell him what he thinks about him in stead of doing it to his face and pettiu his face pounded often him probably. The telefone offishials didn't make much headway towards gettin subscribers in Bingville. They only got two of our citizens to subscribe, and before thev left town one of them changed his mind. Hen Weathersby said he would put a telefone into his store. SO as to be in touch with the outside world as you might say, and Cy Hoskins. one of our most welthiest citizens said he would also take the telefone, but later Cy said he guessed he wouldn't do so being as he thort he would have a good deal more fun on the cost of # bv spending the money some other way.
 Bill Seever who moved here recently from the Go. Seat where he had a tele- fone, says he would have another one in BngVille if he could afford it. Bill says that when he was a subscriber to the Farmers Telefone at the County Seat, he used to lissen over the line every night with the receiver to his ear in one hand and newspaper in tother and he said in that way he got all the news that was going.
 When the telefone offishials found that they could only get one subscriber in Bingville, they left here in disgust and said that Bingville didn't have no mere getup to it than a sick cat. As 1 far as we are personally concerned. we calkilate that we are just as well off | without telefone as we are with one. Bingville has managed to get along without telefone line in tl.s past. and | we calkilate we can continue to do SO | n the futchure. Besides, who would | want to talk to anybody in Hardscrabble l which is the home of the Hardscrabble I Banner, the editor of which is a human Wart on the face of nachure1

Poor Exhibition Of Baseball Ends IN
Dispute and Locals Forfeit
The Game.
DO CURTIS THROW At Jump. 7
Parker Says Player Tried to Hit Him
and Orders Him Out-Decislon
Brings to Close Rank Performances
in Which Fort Had Best Of lt--Um-
pire Unsatisfactory.

About three or four games similar Il
J Hampton and Old Point yesterday al
ternoon would suffice to sicken the
Hampton fans 10 such an extent as
to keep a corporal's guard away from
future exhibitions.
Yesterday being celebrated as the
Glorious Fourth. a crowd of fully 500
spectators trotted out TO the park and
witnessed the 'rottenest" game that
has been pulled on in the Peninsula
league during the season. 1t was Chi
nese ball on Hampton's part from
start to finish and to cap the climax

being awarded to the Artillerymen by

game.
Ordered Curtis Out.
After dragging through seven in
nings of go-as-youp please ball the ell
max came, when Henry Curtis was put
out of the game by Umpire Parker Tor
THROWING a ball at the Jump" At
least Parker claimed that Curtis
meant to hit him with the leather, and
only the clever exhibition OF lodging
On Parker's part saved him from in
jury. Curtis admirers declare that
he was throwing the leather TO john
son on third. At any rate the decision
of the umpire caused Hampton 10
leave the field and let the game go
to Fort Monroe by the score Of 8 to q.
II didn't make any difference, for
Fort Monroe had already won through
the rank exhibition given by the To-
Gals. The score. when the dispute
came about, stood to 8 in the Arul-
lerists' favor.
Early in the game Mr.. Parker order
ed Leslie Curtis, a brother Of Henry
to the bench. because the umpire con-
tended that young Curtis had acted
discourteously towards him. Parker
decisions were far from just. IN TACT
he should never have been permitted
to umpire, as he seemed to have it in
for the locals and certainly the Hamp-
ton fans manifested their dislike for
Mr.. Parker on several occasions.
Whether he means TO be unfair or not.
the local fans think he does, and the
league managers would do well to
withdraw him.
