They Take the Scalps of the Pale Faces of King’s Mountain. A large and enthusiastic crowd of fans greeted the Geffney and King’s Mountain ball teams at Jefferies’ ball park last Friday evening At the be ginning of the first inning it looked as if tne visitors were going to have a walk over, but the Indians soon set tled down to business and after the irrepressible Williams had crossed the rubber the others went out in one-two-three order. Then the Indians came in with a wahoo and began to line 'er out and bunt 'er in until they had six scalps dangling from their belts before the visitors were awere of where the lightning had struck. After she first inning the visitors put in a new pitcher and held down the Indians in better shape, only allowing them six more scalps during the re mainder of the game-. Williams, short stop, did star play ing for the visitors. He not only did good field work but his stick work was also good. Of the three runs made he scored two, was left on bases two times and struck out once. The star playing of the home team was done by Isham Richardson, Jones, Leo Littlejand Wood, while both Stan- yarne and Dever Little acquitted themselves admirably. The fielders, 0. P. Richardson, Brossie Byars and Chas. Humphries did not have an op portunity to do much, as it was a rare thing for a fly ball to go to the out field, but when they did go out they were gobbled up like a duck gobbles a June bug, except in one instance. Richardson pitched a magnificent game, yielding but three hits and striking out fifteen men, while Causier and Alexander for the visitors struck out six. The following is the score by in nings : King’s Mountain ..10001000 1—3 Gaffney 5 1 1 0 0 2 2 0 x—11 Mr. Harley did the umpiring, and while he was perfectly conscientious, there can be but little doubt in the of those who were in position to see that one decision was decidedly against the visitors, but this would not have materially changed the result. It did. however, allow the visitors ground for complaint at his decisions, and Catcher Ferguson avers that they went up against nine braves and a chief. FOURTH OF JULY RATES.

Slime Mud Filth In People’s Creek a Menace to Health. There was on last Friday a collec tion of stagnant water in People’s creek just below the culvert over it, where it crosses Limestone street, that was covered with slime and filth, which, added to the dirty water, de tracted from the reputation of the city for cleanliness and seemed a menace to its health. If Friday had been the only day of its existence, its presence would have been excused, but it has been there all spring and summer except when floods in the stream removed it for a day. If the owner of a private residence lot was so destitute of the sense of sleanli- ness and propriety as to allow such a collection of filth to accumulate on his premises, he would soon be sum moned before the mayor for violation of some health ordinance. It is not less objeotlonal where It Is, and in the Interest of health, to say nothing of appearances, it should be removed at once, and its location so arranged that its re-occurrence would be Impossible.

The Rock Hill Herald is authority for the following: "A young lady wants to know how to make ‘not enough’ out of the word 2‘enough.’ That is easy. It is done by transposing the letters and arranging them into two words. Take the 3d, 2d and 1st letters for the first word, the 6th, 4th and 5th for the second, and you have something that is not enough for any young lady.” Mayor’s Court. His Honor bad one unfortunate ‘ ‘cul- lud gemraan” before him yesterday who had to face too charges. The first was for two free indulgence in the State’e ‘‘chemically pure.” The next charge was for whipping his wife for ‘‘too free indulgence” 1c riding on the merry-go-round. For the two he has engaged for a 45 days’ course in the county’s good roads class. Oh, Yes! You wish you had ordered Brans- ford’s “Clifton” flour for to-dny, but you didn’t.
