ginning January now wagc scale

What this means to the ranufactur-
cr- and the consumer can be gained
ty comparison Of labor ccsts in tho
various operations followed in making

earning about $25 week. Under ihc

TO 500 a week. Operators who Tor
merly earned about SO a week arc
VOW getting from S36 to SeJ. and nail

$50. Finishers, most of whom are fc-
male workers, now earn rom $25 %

impress those persons who have an
idea that fur garments viii &c

American Fur styles Lead
"As style creator the American fur
manufacturer has no pee. Paris va
left far behind years ago a. far as our
Inc is concerned. The des gning and
creative ability Of the American far
men has developed to such an extent
that an article made of fur SKINS IS
useful and at the same time decidedly
becoming and attractive. The spring
styles are particularly ailurng. Scarfs
OF single or two animals mounted and
made up so that they can be worn
to suit the peculiar desires of the IN
Gividual seem to have the first call.
The furs that are most in demand for
these scarfs are Russian and Hudson
Bay sable, fisher, stone narten and
rarten in the natural and dyed shades.
Then come foxes, beginning with the
beautiful silver black FOX and going

JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

The government printing office
at Washington is the largest
establishment of its kind. t
occupies thirteen and a half acr, S
of floor space, has 246 typeset-
ting machines, employs nearly
five thousand men and women
and costs twelve mll OF dollars
a year. The paper used, costs
more than two mi lion dollars q
year, and the annual payroll is
over forty-five hundred thousand
dollars. The annual output is
from twenty-five Thousand to
three million books and about
fifty thousand pamphlets. Be-
sides this, it prints millions of
postal cards each year, and
hundreds of thousands of postal
orders. This cffice with it's al
most unlimited capacity, can
receive, set in type, proof-read,
stereotype, bind and deliver a
book Of two hundred pages with
in twenty.four hours.
But while the government
printing Office can do such won
derful things, size considered it
has nothing on the Post-Dispatch.
This office has steadily improved
its equipment, and stock, until
now we can turn out in the job
line most any job of moderate
size a man may wish--and the
beauty about the service of the
Post Dispatch is it's PROMPT
NESS. Every job is turned out
exactly as promised; there is no
delay, no waiting of days. A
personal interest is taken in |
every job brought to this office,
and it is accurately and neatly |
executed. Let the Post-Dispatch
have a try at that next order for
stationery, programs, circulars
ETC., and you'll be surprised how
quickly it will be returned to you.

Baseball.

Baseball. s S :
A strong baseball organization
was perfected Saturday night,
when at a meeting of fans DR..
P. NJ. Abernethy was made man
ager, with Ed. Keller as asst.
manager. Pitcher Person was
made captain.
All aboard now for winning
ball for the best town of all.
The first game under the new
order was played Monday after
noon with strong Cheraw team,
led by the Southern league pitch
er, Fisher. And Fisher twirled a
good game, too; but errors and
punched hits, with inability of
his teammates to hit Person,
caused his downfall.
Person and Lowe was the local
battery, while Fisher and Smith
worked for Cheraw.
The Cheraw boys came here
with an unbroken record of 81
victories for this season. Not a
defeat had they had-but Rock
ingham proved their Waterloo.
The game opened with Cheraw
at the bat. Graham, first up,
famed; Smith out End to LIST.
Gregory hit by ball. Mcpherson
out pitcher to LIST. No runs.
Chisholm out End to LIST.
Crouch out short to first. Alfred
shot a high fly to right; fielder
made a good run, got his hands
on ball but muffed it, booting ball
to fence. Alfred landed on third.
Person at bat; On short passed
ball by catcher, Alfred attempted
to steal home, but was caught. at
plate. No runs.
In CheraW's second inning two
men famed; in their third two
more famed. Person mixing
fast and slow ones. In 18th Greg
DRY got a single, and for first
time Cheraw had a man on first,
but he died there. Cheraw's next
hit was in sixth, but in 9TH they
two hits. Person tight
ened and the inning ended with
no score. In the 9th Cheraw
threatened to break the goose
egg. Smith, first up, lined a hot
double down third base, but the !
next two bit the air, while the |
third out was made by Alfred in
right catching a difficult fly, end
ing the game.
Rockingham's first run in Sec
ond, with double by Benton, er-
ror of loves bounder, and sacri-
flee of Phillips. In the 3rd poor
fielding enabled two to get on
bases, and these two were scored
by a timely single by Alfred.
Chisholm singled in 5th, but no
runs. Benton and Lowe singled
in the 9th, and were brought
nome by a single by Ashcraft.
Lowe doubled in 9th, Phillipsl
singled, and Lowe brought home
~ single by Ashcraft.
