Ills Remains Brought Here.

The remains Of the late j. Nor
wood Savage, were brought here
from Red Springs Thursday morn
ing Of last week and carried from
the train to the Baptist church, and
from there to the Episcopal GENE
terry in the afternoon where the
burial took place, witnessed by a
large number Of sorrewing friends.
The burial service was conducted by
Rev. O. P. Campbell, acting pastor
of the Baptist church.
The deepest sympathy of our peo-
pie is expressed for Mr.. J. Y. Saw
age, father Of the deceased, in this
sorrow and grief that has come upon
him SO suddenly.
There is strong suspicion now that
Mr.. Savage did not commit suicide,
as it was first reported, but that he
met his death by foul play. We
hope a full investigation will be
made and the truth brought out.

ed in the old time spelling bee that

for more, and all who will may en-
ter the contest.
The prize for the one who stands
up last in this contest will be pound
cake made in the good old fashioned
way by one of the best cake makers

(BY MONTO

(BY MONIG)
 New York, March 22.-TWo new caDers have been introduced to the general scheme of training at the big league camps this spring thal bid fair to grow into universal favor by the time another year rolls around. They are leap-frog and skipping the rope, Fred Clarke of the Pirates is re- sponsible for the former and Charles Dooin of the Phillies for the latter, although both had the idea suggest ed by the initiative of one Of their charges.
 The biggest problem of the training camp regiment is how to get through the period of all-around physical conditioning as rapidly as possible so that the manager can begin to get q line on the respective abilities of his new men and start drilling and prom ising ones in his particular system of baseball when there is yet time to coomplish something in this line be fore the opening of the season ar riyes. The idea is to get every set of muscles in perfect trim without over- straining those that bear the chief burden of eNertion.
 A great variety of detail activities have been used for this purpose in the early stages of the last few train ing seasons. The passing of tine medicine ball now holds it's place in the regime of almost every club. Walks before breakfast and a jog-trot of a mile or so after the daily prao- tice also finds wide favor as a means of improving the wind of the players. Some of the teams that are fortunate enough to have their camp near a golf course avail themselves of the honorable game as a means of sharp ening the eye. Tennis and handball are being employed extensively to do the same thing and also to benefit the rlayers' speed and staying power l These last two are especially Dromi- nent in the routine Of the Giants at Marlin.
 Several new exercises have been taken up this spring that do not seem to be wise ones. One of these is the playing of soccer football which has received through trial in the camp of the Cardinals at Co.,
