Rocky Mount Laid Down.

Sufficient evidence, in the ways of
sworn afidavits, were produced to
leave no doubt that the Rocky Mount
team practically gave the games to
Wilmington, but the directors were
unable to agree Upon the penalty.
Several were in favor of throwing
Rocky Mount out of the league, but
the cooler heads prevailed. 1t was
stated by some of the directors that
Rocky Mount ought not suffer for the
misdoings of it's baseball players, and
that to prevent the twin county town
from again becoming a member of a
baseball league in b State, it would
be better to find other means to penal
iZe the Rocky Mount players. There
was no evidence that the citizens of
Rocky Mount had known of or upheld
the players in this giving away games.
At sever o'clock this morning, when
the meeting adjourned, nc decision
had been reached as to the penalty.

With this location they draw not only

If you are in doubt about what good-looking coat and skirt you can not go wrong in choosing colored chif- fon cloth to match the suit.
 This fabric has stood the test of time and popularity for three years and has started in strongly on another season.
 Put it in small plaits, line with china silk of the same color, trim it with en- broidered net to match and add two inch strip of white or cream lace at the neck, with a high-button stock to match.
 Fasten it straight down the back or front with covered silk buttons.

Ripley Asks Taft to Let
 Railroads Live

Los Angeles, Feb. 24.-Calling on Taft to give the railroads a chance to live, President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, yesterday gave his opinion of the present condi- tions of the railroad business and the probable future. He said:
 "Considering the uncertainty and the unstable conditions of the tariff, l consider business is surprisingly good. The spring divided of the Santa Fe will be earned all right, but the declara- tion, of course, depends on what the directors think.
 "Traffic has been better than d year ago, but not as good as two years ago. The country IS in q waiting mood. It wants to see whether anything will be done with the tariff, and to see whether the country will be au- tOcratic or mObOcratic or repub lie Just at the moment it is an oligarchy.
 
 "I am hoping for a radical change, which Taft may give if he wishes. Any radical change will be q radical improvement. Mir. Taft has invited us to brlleve he would be another Roosevelt, but his friends have argued he would be different
 "I do not know which to be lieve. It may sound to some peo. pie as putting it strong. when l say the railways of the country have been persecuted by the pres ent administration, but it is true. The welfare of the country de- pends largely on railways, and in turn the railways depend for thelr welfare on the prosperity of the country.
 
 "lf Taft adopts generous, or even fair policy toward the rail. ways, business generally will ad- vance quickly to what all wish to see"
