Chapel Hill, N. c., March %, 1910.
Last year Carolina was adiudged
by sporting editors to have the best
claim to the Southern base ball
championship. 10 out of "a. The
title lay between Carolina and Vir-
ginia. Virginia won in Greensboro
but Carolina won in Charlottesville,
Va. Virginia refused to play a third
game The only other basis of CON-
parison were the Georgetown games.
Georgetown lost to Carolina but tied
Virginia. So there it rested Nobody
,, knew exactly who won the champion
ship, but the critics said that the
strongest claim was held by Carolina.
The first game between Virginia
and Carolina will beplayedin Green's
boro April Sth and the second game
in Charlotte April 9th. Greensboro
has had the game for several years
and has given recently an attendance
| OF between 1000 and 5000 people.
But this year one of the games is to
he played in Charlotte Charlotte
has never had the game before but
with her record for conventions Of
state concern she is determined to
furnish a crowd worthy of an occa-
sion of such consequences in Southern
athletics. While Charlotte intends
to surpass Greensboro, it goes with
out saying that both cities will give
IL large attendances.
The results of the games on April
Sth and April 9th in Greensboro and
Charlotte between North Carolina
and Virginia will in all likelihood be
derisive in the race for the inter-col-
lpgiate baseball championship of the
South. The Tar Heels would give
their likelihood to see again the White
aud Blue of the Old North State
wave triumphant over the Orange
AMI Blue Of the Old Dominion.

Address by Organizer of Nationa
Negro Business League.

Contributed.
Prof. Chas. Ii. Moore, of Greensboro, n
c., the organizer OF the National Negro
Business League OF which DR.. Booker
T. Washington is president, addressed
the colored business men and women of
our city Friday evening at the court
house. His subject was 1.-The Commercial
and Financial Development OF the Race, -
and it was handled in an intelligent and
comprehensive manner rejecting much
credit upon the speaker
Prof. Moore is not one of the big
horn" sort that blows off to his hearers
a lot of worthless stuff. He gets right
down to the ground work, the root of
his subject, and in a practical, common
sense style, puts it in reach of all classes.
He said in part he had observed that
the colored people in Henderson were
not by any means up to their oppor-
tunities in business. He mentioned sew
eral towns where the negro's oppor-
tunity perhaps no greater than ours, has
been improved to better advantage.
Instead OF becoming discouraged and
respondent they organized themselves in
local business leagues and today are
owning banks and engaged in most every
kind of honest business we know of
Prof. Moore spoke correctly when he
said there is no race feeling in our city
| The business field is broad and accessi-
BILE to white and black. We ourselves
are the enemy to be conquered.
The speaker very wisely advised how
to manage and conduct our business in
order to maintain the confidence and
respect of the white people as we'll as the
| cOlored.
After q few words from Prof. Cotton
a local Business League was organized
with I. S. Eaton, president, J.J Betsch,
vice-president, r. H. Adams, treasurer,
S. l.. Parham, secretary.
This meeting was very largely attend
ed although but short notice had been
given out. The writer believes every one
present that is interested in the advance
ment of his race financially left the room
with an ambition to do something to
stimulate a more lively business interest
in the colored people OF our city and com.

Send Them to The Roads.

Lexington Dispatch.
If all the Judges, says a lawyer,
would announce that from this date
hencefOrth men who are convicted of
carrying concealed weapons must go
to the chaingang, there would be a
noticeable falling off in pistol totin'
and q marked decrease in shooting
scrapes and murders. There is no
doubt about it. AS long as men know
that they canget off with compare
lively light fine, they do not greatly
fear appearing in court on a charge
OF carrying a gun. And it seems to
us that the judges owe it to society
to stop filming such offenders and to
send them instead to the roads, the
proper place for every man who car
les a gun.

WE did not blame Gov. Kitchin for
reprieving Baxter Shemwell in the
first instance, with the lights before
him at the time. His knowledge OF
the situation was gained from Others,
and if censure should rest upon any
body it was the doctors and those
who testified to ShemwelI's physical
condition at the time. But the Gov
ernor knows now and if Justice is
cheated through any act OF his we
will know where to place the respon-
sibility.
