inning the locals made three we'll
earned runs. and the only earned
runs of the game.
There were only two innings of
the game where the visitors came
any where near the scoring point.
This occurred in the first and the
fifth innings. In the first, after
two men had been retired, Goul-
fTette drives one out for a safe hio
and he is advanced to second on
Wellman's hit. Sanford lifted a
fly to center field and it was
promptly taken care of by the
fielder who covers that territory.
In the fifth frame Pool, who was
the first man to bat, lands on one
for safe hit. He goes to second
on Weindell's sacrifice and is ad-
vanced to third on Narehm's hit.
A safe hit now of any kind meant
a score. But Wells ability in hand
ing out goose eggs proved to be
effective upon the following bats
man for Wells had him pounding
viciously at the sphere as it cut
the corners of the plate. From
that on to the close of the game
Wells had his opponents strictly
at his mercy.
Wendell who worked upon the
mound for the visitors was a left
handed pitcher. He had a slow
delivery that was quite puzzling
for the locals to hit, and hit safely.
Out of twenty-seven batsmen who
faced Wendell in the box, two

The Truax-Swanson ball team
from St. Paul were defeated in
Saturdays contest with the locals
by a score of 6 to 0.
The visitors were late in arriv.
ing here as per schedule and when
they did get to the scene of action
they we're short two players. This
caused a substitution of one of the
locals players from our ranks,

accord with the members who
were missing, therefore, it caused
a general changing around of their
men, which generally results with
a weakening of a team with each
change.
However, the visitors put up a
good defensive until the last half
of the seventh inning. Wendell
who was working upon the mound
for the visitors, was driven from
the box. None were out and the
bases were full when he was re.
lieved by Walker. By Walker al
lowing two bagger and a sacri-
fee hit, the three base runners
scored.
In the first frame the locals got
a brace of runs on an error, a pass
on balls and base hit. The locals
got no more scores until the last
half of the sixth inning. Then
they scored once on a base hit, a
stolen base, and an error by Well

There are about fifty-six vari-
et1es of yucca and four of these en-
ter into the present compass of the
fiber manufacturers. They differ
widely in form. The leaves of one
very common kind grow on large
heads and these have been taken to
the Los Angeles plant in great
quantities and the spines cut off
and utilized. The heads them
selves, weighing from few
pounds up to nearly fifty, may be
the nucleus of a paper-pulp indus
try of inestimable proportions and
value. Experiments have proved
that they make splendid paper
stock.
A method of manufacture has
been evolved and the early con-
struction is planned of a mill of
appreciable capacity. These heads
make excellent fuel, burning a
long time and giving out intense
heat, and about a hundred tons
now on hand is being given the
poor for that purpose. If this
variety can ultimately be converted
into paper, which there is no rea-
son to doubt, the importance of
the discovery is beyond reckoning.
The yucca grows wild on the
rock-covered mountainsides and
deserts and semi.arid regions at al
most any altitude in Arizona,
Nevada, southern California, New
Mexico, and Mexico, and even ex-
tends into Central America. 1t
thrives on decomposed granite and
rears it's stems where no other liv-
ing thing can hold on. In the
spring the heavy perfume of its
countless, spires of lovely creamy
blossoms literally pervades the
tens of thousands of square miles
of its range like rich incense.

more fragrant or striking blooms
on earth. Apparently it is in
creasing and spreading, whereas
the sisal supply is reported slowly
diminishing. And this material
costs nothing aside from the gath
ering.
Harvesting yucca isn't a decid-
edly pleasant occupation, how
ever. It is a disagreeable, OBJ
stinate article to handle. It jabs
anyone who ventures within reach,
and it carries poison on the keen
tips of it's hundreds of ''bayonets'
which causes painful sores. The

cutting is done with long iron rods
with sharp hooked blades on the
end. As no leaves under % inches
are taken the plant is not killed,
and likely not even injured, so that
another crop may be reaped the
second year, though it will be
much heavier the third. In many
cases the plants branch freely and
produce more spines after denuda-

The Corn Song

Heap high the farmers wintry hoard
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Through wales of grass and meads of flowers,
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the suns and showers
Of changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long bright days of June
Its leaves grow green and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon.
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now. with Autumn's moonlit ewes,
Its harvest-tim has come,
We pluck away away the frosted leaves,
And bear the treasure home.

terday and return to Washington
last night as was intended when the
appointment was made with the
Wilson Wide Awake Committee to
speak in the Methodist church here
yesterday afternoon and so it fell to
the lot Of Judge Connor to elo-
quently present the reasons for
keeping the memory of the soldiers
who fell defense of their country
and those who participated in any
way in that great struggle, and his
appeal to the people of Wilson
County to tell it to future genera
tions over and over again in sub
substantial brick and stone, in
memorial building that would prove
of service to generations yet unborn
made a deep impression on the
large audience that crowded the

plained on behalf Of the Committee
that Mr.. Daniels who came to North
Carolina to see his mother before
his departure for Europe this week
had kindly agreed to speak to the
people of his native heath this af-
ternoon, but that the heavy rain Of

impossible and that it was found
impossible to meet him in Selma
and bring him to Wilson in time to
meet, his appointment and get him
to Goldsboro through the country
afer the speaking in time to see his
mother and return to Washington
last night.
While opening the meeting yes

ever been started in this community.
He then called on Rev. Mr.. Stewart,

invoked divine favor on the move
ment for a Memorial Community

lowed Col. Bruton's introduction of
Judge Connor who delivered the ad-
dress of the occasion.
Judge Connor stated that while
deprecating the inability of Mr.. DAN

an opportunity to speak to the peo-
pie Of Wilson county whose cause
