His bills paid by check are not only a valid receipt, but also a convenience in his home transactions where very often the necessary change for concluding a settle ment is not at hand.

In a game that was broken up In the sixth inning by rain. Fite's ag gregation of ball-tossers put it on t« Gaffney yesterday afternoon by a eeore of C to 2. Both teams scored in the first inning and in the second Charlotte piled up three more on ef- fertive hatting. Drumm and Selni- maker each got a double in this in ning. Snedden made a spectacular catch of a foul from Ward's bat, which was applauded as loudly as the miniature crowd could manage to afford. He brought the liner down across the foul marking with his bare hand and after a long run. Temple was effective in pitches, but at other times did not show up as well as he can when he has the assurance of good fielding and the en- Miuslasm of a good crowfl of witness es. Nobody could get up any interest in the affair yesterday, because of the threatening weather. On a number of occasions it looked as if the game would have to be called on account of rain. Belue pitched well for the visitors. The locals play a fast game and the two teams are rather well match ed. A good crowd should witness the remaining games of the week. Mr. Norman H. Johnson is doing the umpiring. CHARLOTTE.
