TOBACCO TIOINGS.
BY r. F. WHEELER.
Look After Your Interests

Saturday, July %, is Associa-
ton election day. To the tobac-
co growers of this district it is
the most important election OF
the year.
You will not be too busy to
attend the election of state Off
GERS next fall; yet to you, as an
individual, that election does not
mean as much as the annual cleo
ton of county committeeman of
the Stemming District Tobacco
Association.
We are not writing this merely
to occupy space. Every man
who has pooled his tobacco in
Association should attend this
election and see to it that only
men of mature judgment, hon
est, discreet and, above all, true
loyal Association men are elec-
ted. 1t would be inexcusable in
us if after past experiences, we
should elect any one on the corn
ty board who would let person
al ambition prevent him per-
forming a public duty or cause
him to be untrue to a public
trust.
Most men have at least some
sense of honor and integrity, but
unfortunately, ther" seems to be
some exceptions &c lie iule.
But few mon Will espouse a

UNION GROVE

Hot dry weather continues 100
degrees in the shade. Corn crops
suffering; gardens a failure; and
still but very little prospect of
rain.
There is a great deal of sick
ness in our neighborhood.
Mrs. Walter Wigginton who
was carried to DR.. Bailey's sani-
tarium at Fredonia, and was op-
perated on by Drs. Bailey and
Spickard, of Fredonia; and DR..
Fox, of Crayne, for appendicitis,
was able in ten days to return to
her home, but other complica-
tons coming up, has left h.r in
a critical condition. Some talk
of another operation necessary.
Richard Thompson's 5 months
old baby has been dangerously
i'll with cholera infantum. but at
this writing is much better and
under the treatment of DR..
Spickard. We have hopes of
her recovery.
The wheat and oat crops are
all threshed. The wheat is good
quality and the yield very salts
factory. Dat crop was all heads
from the ground up, but not
very high up. Tobacco crop is
having a hard struggle to live,
much less grow. Pastures would
burn where there is enough left
to stick a match to.
Now, we think that those boys
that got the Record-Press out
two weeks ago, a half a day a
head of time; and last week a
day and a half, ahead of time,
and if they continue at that tate
we will soon be reading the Re-
cord-Press at least a week before
it's regular time to come out.
We say boys push her out for we
are always glad to get it. This
is a fast age any way.
In spite of the hot weather,
and so much sickness, our Sun
day School was we'll attended
Sunday.
Bro. Wycoff, of Illinois, filed
Bro. Oakley's pulpit at Fredonia

fashion Holy Ghost sermon. He
believes we will have to return
to the old paths, time, place and

the holding up finger salvation,
but does believe we must be
born again.
Now, wishing the Editor, his
noble paper and his good boys

HAS REAL JOYOUS
TIME.
WAYS OF SOUTHERN JUSTICE
Pitcher Reagan's Run-In With the
Umpire Almost Lands Him in

pireS Is a Fins Art.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

Amongst the gayest of gay lives is
that of the bush league" umpire.
This is tale of the joys of an UNI
pire's existence, and of the ways of
southern justice.
There is pitcher, Reagan, We'll
call him, who now is in another
league. He is a spitball pitcher and a
little tight bundle of nerve and cour-
age, with temper that fits the Rea-
gan exactly.
A season or so ago he was pitching

Say" he said, wasn't that the raw

Il don't remember just what it was"
why, do you know, they threw me
into Jail down there, kept me in jail
eight days, fined me $125 and were
going to send me to the turpentine
camps"
His voice quivered with indignation.
What did you do?"
@Me? Nothing at all. Them south
erners are down on a northern fellow.
If it hadn't been that the old Judge
went away on his vacation and a
young one took his place, Ia have
been sent to the turpentine camp
sure, to work year"
But what did you do?"
"Me? Nothin'. Just had little
run-in with the umpire. Then they
dragged me off the field, tried to mob
me, and threw me into Jail"
His voice quivered again.
"But what did you do? They couldn't
do that for nothing"
Say, you don't know them south
erners. They'll do anything if they
get sore on a northerner"
Tell me about it, said, coaxingly.

persisted
Mech, nothing, Just bit his ear

Nagging umpires often gets to be
a fine art It requires an artist to get
away with It, One of the reasons that
the crowd always thinks the umpire
is exceeding his authority when he
chases an offending player off the
field is that the player who really
hurts the umpire's feeling is the nag
ger, who seldom does anything that
amounts to much, but keeps at it. For
instance. many spectators have criti-
cised KLEIN for banishing Johnny Ev-
ers of the Cubs often, many times
seemingly without cause. Evers sell
dom even speaks to KLEIN, yet KLEIN
has put him out OF games oftener than
al other umpires combined. The
ch.<f reason is this: Once KLEIN made
a bet with Evers. He bet Evers five
dollars that he (Evers) was afraid to
call on the president of the league.

under certain conditions to oppose the established

The law justifying one person In the killing OF

Patrick Henry Dougherty Of the
White Sox is such quiet and undem-
onstrative ball player that most of the
fans imagine he is Indifferent as to the
result of games. The fact is that it
hurts him as much as anyone to lose.
He seldom kicks, but once he made
kick at Tim Hurst-whereby hangs
this tale.
Patrick Henry was at bat late in the
game, when hit meant lot, and he
