Miss Emma Austin. of Buford
township, visited her sister, Miss
Edith Austin last week.
Mr.. Isaac A. Helms, a promi
nent farmer of Buford township,
died last Thursday morning
after a long illness, and was
buried at Prospect Friday. He
was a member of the Methodist
church and a good man. He
was a brother-in law of Messrs.
S. B. and B. B. Eubanks of Page
land.
The residence of Mr.. Arthur
Jordan near Evans mill was de-
stroyed by fire Monday evening
about 7 o'clock. The family
was at the home of a neighbor
at the time, and very little of the
household goods was saved.
The origin of the fire is un-
known. There was $500 insur-
ance on the building and $IOO
on the contents.
Mr.. o. P. Heath, who for 81
years has been a large cotton
dealer at Charlotte. committed
suicide Monday by firing a
32-caliber bullet into his head.
Poor health and financial revers-
es are given as the cause. He
was native of upper Lancaster
county. The body was buried
at Monroe Tuesday.
Mr.. T. w. Belk. of Cheraw.
sends The Journal clippings
from the Chronicle-News of
Trinidad. Col. which give the
details of the recent acquittal of
his brother, Mr.. Walter Belk, of
the charges of murder and as
sault with intent to kill. In one
case the State offered to dismiss
the case but the defendant in.
sisted that he be given a trial by
jury. In open court the Judge
instructed the jury to return a
verdict of acquittal. In the
other case the State put up a
stiff fight but the evidence pro-
duced for the defendant was so
conclusive that the jury was out
only about seven minutes, re.
turning a verdict of acquittal.
There was a demonstration OF
approval as court adjedrned, and
the papers speak in the highest
terms of Mr.. Belk as man and
officer. There were two charg-
es of murder and one of assault
and battery with intent to kill
and he was acquitted in all the
cases. The trouble occurred in
1913, and the evidence showed
that the deeds were done in self
defense. MIR. Belk is native
of Union county, and he and
his wife are known in this coun.
ty, where they taught school
several years ago. Their friends
will doubtless be pleased to
know of Mr.. Belk's acuuittal.
Here is one sentence from the
Chronicle News: big hearted
Walter Belk has been acquitted
as the good citizens of Trinidad
knew he would be and thought
he ought to be-"

DUTCH LEONARD
 BLANKS BR0WMS WITHOUT A HIT

Boston, Aug. 31.-Dutch Leonard, who was knocked out of the box by St. Louis in the first game of Tues days double header, came back yes- terray and held the Browns without a hit or run, while Boston scored four runs off Weilman, Two men reached first base, but neither got to second. In the eighth inning, Leonard passed lSevereid and again in the ninth he gave a base on ba Is to Hartley who
 batted for Weilman.
 Leonard struck out only three men,
 the batters for the most port popping
 up easy flies The whole team, smart
 ing from Tuesdays double defeat, backed up the big left handler fault
 lessly all through.
 | The no-hit, no-run game yesterday was the, second to the credit of the kRed Sox this season. George Foster )turned the trick against New York blast June, and sporting writers called attention to the fact that in both games Bill Carrigan. was behind the
 bat
 An examination of Jack Barry's
 hand yesterday disclosed that bone
 on the back of his right hand was
 fractured and that he would be out of
 the game probably for four weeks.

DUNDEE WINNER
 IN SWIFT BOUT
 AT THE GARDEN

New York, Aug. 31-Sixteen years ago last night in Madison Square Garden James J. Corbett knocked out Kid Mccoy in the fifth round of their sensational fight, the last big battle held before the repeal of the Horton law.
 Last night in Madison Square Car den Johnny Dundee and Joe Yelling put up one of the most cockle-of-the- heart warming scraps that has been seen in this neck of the woods since Joe Humphries was in his swaddling clothes. There was no knockout; there wasn't even a hnockdown, but there was action aplenty from the first to the final clans of the gong. The two crack lightweights crowded more real milling in one round than ordinarily is seen in sixty.
 Dundee was the winner, but not by a great margin. Yelling gave him glorious combat and fought himself right into the hearts of the local fight fans.
 The lightning fast and clever Italian was too speedy and foxy for the hard hitting Chicagoan. Johnny was bet ter. gaited for ten rounds than was Joe. Most of the fans left the build ing with the impression that in a longer battle Yelling would be able to turn the tables. Joe also flash ed a brand of milling that proves him a worthy contender for the light weight title and many of the experts think his style is just the one to catch and stop the lightweight cham pion, Freddie Welsh.

l ZIMMERMAN WINS
 LFIRST COVTESTlN
 NEW YORK UNIFORM

Cincinnati, Aug 31-Heinie Zim- merman. playing his first game as a Giant broke up 12-inning contest } here yesterday afternoon when he planted a single in left field which scored Robertson with what proved to be the winning run, defeating the ' Reds in the last game of the series and also the last contest for McGraw' s men on Zealand Field this season. The score was to 5.
 With the score 4 to 4, Tesreau opened the 12th with a. grounder to Chase. Burns singled over second and went to third when Robertson . produced his third hit of the day, a single to right. Herzog singled to centre, scoring Burns. Zimmerman, whom McGraw placed in the clean up position, came through with sim gle to left on which the feet-footed Dave romped home with the win- ming tally. Fletcher and Kauff flied out.
 The Reds made a desperate attempt to tie the score in their half of the same inning and failed only when Eddie Roush, the eX-Giant, was thrown out at the plate when he en- deavored to score along with Groh on Louden's single. Groh started the &Reds' half of the last session by get hing a pass Roush singled and 2 Chase fouled out. Griffith was thrown out at first Wingo walked and the bases were full.
 Louden singled to Fletcher and the Giant shortstop made an unsuccess- full attempt to nail Wingo at second, but his throw to Herzog was late. In the meanwhile Groh rushed across the plate. The ex-Red manager saw Roush making for the plate and made a perfect throw to Rariden, mailing the Red centrehelder by half a foot, and the game was over.
 The Reds obtained their lead through the wildness of Benton and Perritt in the second inning, when five bases on balls were handed out in rapid succession, forcing in two runs, Neale's sacrifice fly giving the local team it's other run in that round.
 Except for this display of ineffec- tiyeness on the part of the Giant moundsmen the game would have ended in mine innings, as after that round the Reds were almost helpless before TesreaH who took up the hurl- ing duties for the Giants in the third r\ The Giants got off to a one-run lead when Burns scored after his walk, Robertson's single and HerZog fly to Neale. With Chase disposed of in the second inning Benton walked Griffith, Clarke and Louden each on four straight balls. Perritt took Ben tons place and Mitchell batted for Hum and walked, forcing in Grif- ffth. Schneider walked, forcing in Clarke. Neale flied to Burns and Louden scored.
 After /Roberston singled in the fifth and was forced by Herzog, the latter scored on Zimmermans single to Neale, which the latter fumbled. In the seventh Rely was forced by Rari- den after he had been passed and Rariden was doubled off first. Tes- reau tripled to right and scored on single by Burns. A pass to Fletcher, his steal of second and Kauffs single in the eighth gave the Giants their last tally before the winning runs were batted across in the twelfth.
