Fort Mill Times, August d: Nobody
i'm this section objects to the proposal
of Gen. George w. Gordon. command
err in chief of the United Confederate
veterans, that monument be erected
to the former slaves of the south. The
idea is a pretty one but there is moth
ing new i'm it. A monument the erec-
ton of which was prompted by the
desire to evince to the world his ap-
preciation of the faithfulness of the
slaves of this section was put up I'M
Confederate park Fort Mill, ten years
ago by Capt. S. f. White. 1t is the
first and only one of the kind in the
world, but we anticipate the claim Of
primacy for Gen. Gordon's monument.

noon Fort Mill got away with the big
end of the last game of the series with
Concord, making 1t the two best out
of three from the visitors, by scoring
one in the first and one in the eighth.
The boys from across the line did not
succeed in getting a man beyond third
Price was a puzzle to the visitors and
they succeeded i'm getting just two hits
off his delivery. The batteries were:
Concord, Cline and Patterson; Fort
Mill, Price and Parks. Thursday af-
ternoon the fastest game ever seen on
the local grounds was played by Forest
City and Fort Mill, and the home boys
also succeeded in getting away with
this one, to 0, after ten innings of
play. Both teams fielded beautifully
and the two errors made by each were
on chances that would have been pass
ed up as hits by leaguers. Legge,
pitcher for the College of Charleston,
had been requisitioned by Fort Mill to|
occupy the mound, and what he did
for the fast Forest City boys was
enough and then some. But at that he
didn't have much on Simmons, who did
the pitching for the visitors. Simmons
is no novice in the pitching depart
ment. The features of the game, how
ever, were star catches by Poag for
Forest City, and by McKibbon for Fort
Mill. This same McKibbon boy broke
up the game i'm Fort Mills favor in the
tenth by a three hagger to deep CEN
ter. Barr got to first and was enabled
to complete the circuit on McKibbon's
long hit Then all hands went home
in a good humOr.
