ot next week February 20 Heretofore it ha been the custom ordained by convention for the young 'ladles to await the beck and call of the young inen whereas now the tables are turned and the young men stand In fear and trembling as to the future It Is safe to say that tho dance of next Tuesday night will prove one of the most unique and delightful that Charlotte has known In a decade Owing to the fact that the (lay following is Ashe Wednesday and therefore the beginning of Lent -e dance will break up Just a few minutes before midnight these men will prove a sensation In this league and Spartanburg will have an opportunity of seeing a club the race all Iaval states that he does not consider It good policy to give out the names of the these men at the present moment as the deals have

ball team this remarked Billy Laval know we will give the fans a good club to look at But we are going to want their support turn Not only every fan but every business firm as well should take pride In the team and should contribute all they are able towards its support It takes money to run a ball club and everyone knows Its generally a losing proposition are going to give Spartanburg something they will be glad of a chance to support But we must have that support both spiritually and financially and If we get It Spar tanburg will have the best ball club that has ever played In that town

Carolina Longue For Next Old Players Who Will Return and the New Ones Recently Manager Dual Enthusiastic Over the Pros-IMXtd For Next Great Season Antlcl lotted With All the Cities In the Ijcague The reports that "come In from all the cities In the Carolina Circuit with tho possible exception of An-dkrson which has not yet been heard from in a definite way indicate that the season Is going to open up with a much better aggregation of players than ever before graced the openin of a Carolina League season The determined effort that has been put forth to weed out the old-timers and supplant them with young and husky tossers will unquestionably have the effect of making the game much spicier and faster this year than lost The fact also that every club In the loague has a guarantee posted with Secretary-Treasurer John Todd of $1000 will also tend to hold the association closer together The realization Is ooming too that the only way In which a club can expect to the and wind up the season with a balance Is to corral a bunch of ambitious youngsters and then dispose of them for handsome prices at the end of the season The announcement will be received with Joy that Spartanburg will put out a strong club In the field this year The fact that Manager Billy Laval will have charge of the team Is a sufficient announcement but there Is every reason to believe also that the Spartanburg fans are rallying loyally to his support The following Is from yesterday's Issue of The Spartanburg Herald: IN SPARTANBURG "On March 25 the players who will wear tho Spartanburg uniforms or better those

Athletics will make ro other stop this side of Montgomery "The TIerald has put out a private line to Mr William Laval manager and a correct line on the present existing dope has been obtained It Is learned that prospects are bright now with every chance and reason for becoming dazzling In the near future In addition to these lrrldescent prospects there are certain hard substantial facts some of which must be kept distinctly quiet -until they lose every suspicion of chance but others are so beyond the possibility of failure that they are even now fit food for the digestion of the most particular fan THE BISONS COMING addition to the Philadelphia appearance Manager Laval announces that two games have been Arranged with the Buffalo Blsons on April 4 and 5 Plans are also on foot for games with some of the stronger varsity teams of Southern unlversl ties It Is probable that the nine representing the University of Tennessee will play at Fairfield and negotiations are also on with

after their passage the second squad of the Athletics will pass through and will stop In Charlotte for a game OLD PLAYERS BACK the players of last year who will report for practice In March are last favorites Kipp Wagnon and Coombs The fast shortstop has been keeping himself In trim for the diamond and expects to put up the best game ever Versatile John Wagnon likes Spartanburg' and his return to the outfield will bring Joy to many a believer In the rangy outer gardener "In addition to Kipp In the Infield Billy Laval will concentrate his skill and energies In that department during the coming season it Is understood Though it has not been announced as certain It Is probable that Laval will hold down the initial sack at the playing of which he was not excelled during the last season Watson will be back and Corbett who was with Anderson last year and who proved a consistent plugger of the pill "Besides Wagnon In the outfield will appear Doak who played last year with the Spinners and who

Co Rev Dr Marr Dlsoiwses a Moot ed Ethical Religious Question Services as usual were held at Trinity Methodist church yesterday and were well attended the weather furnishing small excuse for remaining away especially in the morning as the warm bright sun with the new fallen snow made' such a beautiful world of gold and white that it was an Inspiration to get out Into it Rev Marr preached an excellent sermon basing his remarks upon the colloquy between the Lord and Satan as found In the first chapter of the book of Job concerning the righteousness of that servant of God in that conversation Satan charges that Job serves God to further his own interests this charge being disproven by the adversities which he Is allowed to heap upon the good man From this life of Job the speaker argued the existence of disinterested virtue In the world a opposed to the accusation that man serves God for what he gets out of It and while admitting that too many men have their price he held that the charge that all goodness Is practiced for a selfish end Is refuted by this life of Job and by the life and death of the Lord himself In the evening the pastor spoke upon the faith which actuated Moses In choosing to stand with his people rather than enjoy the wealth and pleasures of the court of Pharaoh -holding up this life of Mose and the reward which has followed his choice as an Inspiration to the church These sermons by E)r Marr each Sunday should be heard to be appreciated and a cordial invitation Is extended to all to worship with this congregation The Missionary Society
