MESSER RECOVERING.

J.R. Messer was in the city Mon
day enroute to Asheville to visit
his son who is in the hospital.
Mr.. Messer was seriously burned at
Black Mountain some time ago and
has been in the hospital since.
Mr.. Messer said they thought they
could bring him home about the
last of this month.
He was in his room at the board
Ing house when car load of logs
broke loose and ran away. Some
Of the logs rolled off against the
room in which Mr.. Messer was and
struck the bed and pinned Mr..
Messer against the stove which
had just been filled with coal, and
it was about ten minutes before
any one found him.

E FORCE TIE ANTLsPlTTlk 6 Law

The anti-spittine law is an Or
dance that sleeps the whole year
through in almost every town in
North Carolina. It doesn't sleep on
account of its inertia or inability to
stay awake but simply because it
has no one to wake it up and put
life into it.
8 Waking up the anti-spitting ordi-
nance once in awhile in a town is
a live, good business from more
standpoints than one. Below are
the figures of one busy town
that found time and the inclination
to experiment with this law. These

SHADOWS.

'tlnct or is it an acquired morbidity

The spirit of man is freest when
'asking in the halcyon light of day.
For me there has been from child
1ood a mysterious fascination
about shadows.
AS the years have multiplied
that strange charm has frightened
lis grip upon my imagination, more
correctly speaking, my spiritual
self. This charm is compounded
in equal parts of admiration and
:ear. For tenantless human habi-
tations l have a disgust by day
and a loathin& by night. l inva-
riably associ ate with these unearth-
ly sounds and black cats. The
shadows at night of any old house
charms me like a reptile, without
the snake,like repu9nance.
In every shadow there are two
elements: the ghostlikeness end
the artistic. The effect is awein-
spring and pleasing. 1t is irresist-
able.
Some shadows are erotesque,
some are beautiful and all are
ehostly. After all what is a ghost
but shadow. At midday | have
seen ghost skimming the broom
sedge and have awakened from my
spell at the croak of a raven over
head. In the broiline August after
noon / have stretched in the kindly
shadow of a great oak, the most
gracious thing that ever permitted
laziness to pass it's threshold.
There are hospital shadows and
inhospitable. Shadows that protect
the flochs and herds from the burn
ing ..eat of the sun and shadows
that intercept that same benlgI
energy and produce death.
There is the passing shadow Of
the cloud turning the meadows a
somber hue, filling the purple elens
with cleaning and FREELY lamps
and thrilling their wake with tn
hope Of refreshing.
There is the myriad shadows o

THEIR ONE BEST GAME
AS VIEWED BY MODERN PITCHING STARS
BY BILLY Evans

Especially This Paper by American
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-03-10

On July 6. 1913. Mitchell pitched an
unusual onehit affair against Chicago.
Despite the fact that he had Chicago
helpless throughout the game, he came
within an ace of being taken out in the
ninth inning. ChicagO's only hit came
in the sixth and in no inning until the
ninth did the White Sox seriously threa-
ten the plate. In the ninth Mitchell sud
denly developed a wild streak. filling
Birmingham was on the verge Of yank-
ing him, when he settled and retired
the side without a run
His Best Game.
Ask the members of the Philadelphia
team Of American league to name the
best bit of pitching Mitchell ever did.
and TO a man they will reply that he
pulled the one best bet in the pitching
line against them last season. On the
chell worked a wonderful game. For
eight innings he had the Athletics ! to
O. In the ninth Collins, through a hit
the third made off Mitchell and two
outs, reached third base. With two
strikes on the batter, Mitchell sent up
a curve ball that broke low and on the
outside It got away from the catcher
and was called a wild pitch. enabling
Collins TO tie up the game. In the 18th
inning, Mitchell weakened and three
hits in succession gave Mack's team a
run and the game In the i innings
Mitchell struck out 13 men. That is
quite a feat Better yet. u of the Is
strikeOuts came in the first eight in

just what Mitchell did.-COpyright 1915.
