AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY
Ladysmth Highs Defeat Hawkins BY
Score of II to 8
BY Dan Gross

LadySmith versus Hawkins was the
bill carded at the local highschool
gymnasium last Saturday night and
with it came the formal opening CT
the season for the Ladysmith high
school. The game resulted in a one
sided score, II to 8, in favor OF the
home team.
That the Ladysmith quint is going
to be a strong contender for state
honors from now on until the close
of the season was the universal Opin-
ion Of the few that witnessed the
Set-to over the garage. From the mo-
ment the referees whistle blew to
open the game it was plainly visible
to the naked eye that the visitors
were not even going to have look
in and after this opinion was formed
it was plainly evident that the To-
cal basket shooters were simply con-
tent to see how big pile they
could score, and also try out some
team work. In team work the locals
had it over the visitors hands down,
although there is yet a chance for
Improvement Every man on the
team should take it upon himself to
see that no individuality is shown.
Chances are what count in this game.
Don't wait until you can stand un-
der the basket or till some sure
player gets the ball to make the bas-
ket, but take a chance for yourself.
even if it is from the center Of the
floor
This is Hawkins first advent into
the game and SO the overwhelming
score can be overlooked. Hawkins
sent down about twenty-five roOtSrs
with the team and they were very
we'll behaved.
For Hawkins in the first half Bar
nett made three points, on a basket
and a free throw, he missed two
chances at free throws. For the To-
Gals, F. Hutchinson made six bas
kets and Luell made eight baskets
and one free throw, missing one free
throw.
In the second half for HaWkins,
Ellingson and Barnett each made one
basket and Barnett made one free
throw out of three chances. Luell Sc
cured eleven field baskets and two
free throws e. Hutchinson got four
field baskets and Jacobs got three
field baskets
Jung refereed very square game
and is to be cOmplimented very
highly on the feature. Ellingson was
the umpire.

Promoters After Wisconsin People
and Capital

1t has been officially announced
that several of the southern states
will make campaign in Wisconsin
this winter for settlers for their va
cant lands This would be we'll
enough if they would make their
efforts on a plain showing of produc-
tiveness, but such is far from the
case The southern promoters are
opposed to the publication Of United
States census statistics-for the sim
pie reason that those statistics do
not answer their purposes. Therein
they differ from the practices Of
the Wisconsin Advancement As5Ccia-
ton which bases all it's publicity up
on the census figures for the reason
that they the most dependable data
available
Our southern friends prefer to tell
the public what some expert has done
the public what some expert has
done and, of course, use only those
who have been extremely successful,
knowing that this campaign for Wis
ccnsin capital and energy was com
ing, the Wisconsin Advancement as
sociation has had prepared a leaflet
showing the yields of the farm crops
in Wisconsin and the southern state 5.
The figures used are taken from the
latest United States census and are
an absolutely fair statement. Wis
consin people who may have become
interested in the claims of the south
ern promoters should send to the
Wisconsin Advancement association,
Milwaukee. Wisconsin, for this leaf
| let and digest the actual facts of
the situation We are all desirous
of keeping our people within the
state, and we do not want them to
leave unless they are certain that
they can do better elsewhere. And
| the beauty of the situation is that,
when all the facts are considered, it
! is plain that Wisconsin is much the
best BY all means get all the facts
and be prepared for the conclusion
that they favor Wisconsin.

SCOTLAND NECK WINS.
Interesting Ball Game in Which The
TaPb0f0 Team Was Defeated.

On last Thursday afternoon Scot
land Neck high school baseball team
defeated the mighty Tarboro high
school team in a closely fought and
interesting game by the score Of 6
to 4. The two teams were well
matched, and at no time was either
team confident of victory
The one bright star of the whole
game was Shields, the twirler for
Scotland Neck, who held the Tarboro
team to two hits and struck out
nineteen men, among them the
mighty Pug" Bass, Of Eastern
Carolina fame, who punched the air
three times in as many times up.
The Scotland Neck team was bad
~ handicapped on account Of the
accident to Little" Bowers, the
catcher, who was knocked senseleSs
during team practice on Wednesday
afternoon.
One feature of the game well
worth mentioning was the three
base hit by Josey, which came when
two men were down and two men
on bases. Josey's hit unnerved the
Tarboro boys, and before the third
man could be retired he scored him
self. The score.

Death OF Hrs. j. c. Butts.

| Halifax, n. c., May Mrs. ]. c..
Butts died here last Tuesday, April
30t,n, after ali illness Of several
weeks. Mrs. Butts was the daugh-
ter Of the late James III. GrizZard,
w;lo. during his life, was very
prominent attorney Of Halifax
county.
4 very sad fact connected with the
death OF Mrs. Butts is that while
sac was Ill she repeatedly called for
and asked about her brother, Mr..
James CrizZard, who resided at
Rosemary and was very sick, but
owing to her condition it was not
deemed wise to acCuaint her with
the fact Of his death after it came.
So she departed without knowing
her brother was no more on earth.
The death Of Mr.. Grizzard and his
sister. Mrs. Butts, removes the last
Of The children. with the exception
of Mrs. II. Y. Froelich, who resides
at Rosemary.
Mrs. Butts was 2 very excellent
woman indeed, being q member Of
the NJ. z. Church since early girl
hood. She Was ever faithful and
most consistent in her religious life,
and had the love and confidence of
quite large number Of relatives
ard friends. Her health for some
months had not been at all good,
and when she was confined to her
room, aud then 20 her bed, many
were confident that she would soon
be up and attending to her duties
again. but she was much worse than
most here thought, and when it was
stated that she was dead there was
some surprise. and Of course very
much regret, for she was very much
! beloved. The attachment she enter :
! tanned for the members of her fani-
i II was beautiful to behold, and it
was always real pleasure to be IN
the home whore the earthly ties ap-
! reared to be 6ecurely fastened with
uoboUnied ,ove. Hire s was most
! hosn;tahle home and many were the
preachers who have rested under
roof. She was always so eager to
entertain them, and in fact was ever
an IDEAL hostess, end dispensed IN a
most gracious and charming mar
ner, with that quietness and gentle
ness that characterizes our Southern
women.
Mrs. Butts is survived by her nus
band. three daughters, Mrs. Mussel,
nan. CT Virginia, Misses Alice and
Lucy. CT this place, and one son, Mr.
