THE YEAR WELL
High Grade Performers

GERMANTOWN LEADING

The Junior Interacademic League got
away TO an excellent start last week when
Penn Charter defeated Episcopal Academy
8 matches to 1, and Germantown opened
with clean sweep from Friends Central,
6 to 0.
Some of the best of the clty's juniors
are in this league and the play is uni
formly good.
Sam Pennock of Penn Charter, who
defeated Headley Harper, of Episcopal, in
an excellent match, is by far the best
boy in the league. PennoclS in fact, shows
more possibilities than any boy in the
city with the possible exception of Carl
Fischer. of Cynwyd, and David Beard. OF
Germantown, neither of whom as yet is
as good as Pennock.

the tennis men around the city. Great in

Mannheim and watched the play of several
of the boys on the Germantown team. He

shown by the kids.

Black Snakes Reneficent.

Ip Burlington county, New Jersey,
the farmers who, in the erroneous be-
lief that they are pest, have been
killing black snakes, are being urged
to conserve them as enemies of the
rattlers, which have been unpleasantly
numerous this year. The damage done
by the non-poisonous reptiles is now
recognized to be slight account in
comparison with the good they do
Not only will the black snake fight and
best the rattler, but he earns more
than his keep by keeping down other
pests. 1t has taken man long time
to identify his friends of the lower or

cuted animals do not receive the credit
that is due them.-New York Sun.

s2,857,50O FOR
CAROLINA ROADS
BILL PASSED BY SENATE GIVES
NORTH CAROLINA $1,746, 900
FOR ROADS.
PERIOD COVERS FIVE YEARS
There is Reason to Believe the Good
Roads Legislation Will Be Passed
BY This Congress.

Washington.-If the road bill, which
passed the senate few days ago, is
. made into law it will mean that the
United States Government in the next
five years will expend for roads in
North Carolina $1,746.OOO, and in
South Carolina Sill, 500, a total of
$2,857,5OO in the two states.
There is reason to believe good
roads legislation will be enacted by
this congress. The senate bill, which
was submitted by Senator Bankhead
of Georgia, embraces some of the out
standing features of the Shackleford
bill, which passed the house. Very
little difficulty is now expected in the
conference.
The good roads advocates are cham
pioning the measure as one Of the ne
cessary methods of preparedness that
this government should adopt, since it
will afford better transportation facilf-
ties through rural communities, and
generally serve to improve farming
conditions The bill requests cooper
alton between the federal and state
governments.
The amounts that are apportioned
under the senate bill to North Caro-
lima for a period covering five years,
are as follows:
First year, $116,4OO; second year.
$232,SOO; third year, $394,2OO; fourth
year, $466, 900; fifth year. $582,OOO.
The amounts to South Carolina are
as follows:
First year, $4,000; second year,
$14S, 200; third year, $4,000; fourth
year, $296,4OO! fifth year, $370,5O0.

sufferer. The fire started at $3.50 in
the afternoon in the McAdOo Hotel
and three hours later the three story
brick building, covering a fourth of

men were helpless to stay the sweep
of the flames within the building, but
did splendid work in preventing ad-
joining buildings from burning. There
was no loss of life, but several fire.
men suffered from exhaustion and the
terrific smoke. The engine from
Winston-Salem was called and rem

at from 100000 to $150,OOO, only par
