Fenway Park, Boston, Sept. TO-
After a two-hour strike by the Bos-
ton Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs
for a readjustment Of the players
share Of the worlds series receipts
that met flat refusil by the ma
tional commission, the players Of
the two contending teams agreed
that they would contest the re-
mainirg games IL il was publicly
announced that they were playing
for "the sake Of the public, the good
Of baseball and the soldiers and
sailors"
The disagreement lasted until 3
o'clock, when Harry Hooper, the
Red Sox right fielder, said:
I'VE will play tho game for the
sake Of baseball. We know we
have not been given a square DEAL"
There were probably 10000 per-
sons present whom the players
finally came on the field to practice.
The day was fair with an un-
eloudeu sky and weather conditions
were ideal for the game.
Wounded Soldiers Witness Game.
The crowd had something to
cheer for when large detachment
Of wounded soldiers brought to this
country from overseas last Satur-
day arrived Vn the grandstand and
took box seats. The entire grand.
stand ard bieachers arose en- masse
while the band played "over There"
and gave the heroes three lusty
cheers, the Ioudest and most heart
felt that have yet been given in the
series.
The national commission indicat-
ed very clearly that il could not
change the rule pertaining to share
ef receipts allotted players, as it had
no authority to do SO.
The committee of players pointed
out that because Of the decre-~ed
attendance at tho games it seemed
likely their share Of the receipts OF
the first four games would fan con-
siderSbly short Of $4,000 for NOM
bers Of the winning team and 81 1,400
for the losers, which sums they as
: serted had been guaranteed them.

prepared to watch what they believed
would be the final game Of the worlds
series between the Boston Americans
and TIE Chicago Nationals.
Yesterdays contest placed Boston in
the lead three games to one and the
loyal Boston fans expected the team
to clear, the series without unnecessary

Among the players, however there
was no such assurance that the series
would end today. The Cubs had lost
none of their fighting spirit The Red

American Laegue champions found
themselves in exactly the same posi-

won the title. That was in 1908. The
Pittsburgh Nationals won. three OF the
four games. and then Boston went in

The Joys Of Preaching the Gospel

Last Sunday the Christian
minister had an appointment to
preach in Enfield at three o'clock.
Johnny Stokesberry agreed to
try make the trip on his motor
cycle. We left Rosemary about
one O'Clock. All went well until
we got within about six miles of
Enfield and the chain broke. We
borrowed two axes from a negro
nearby and proceeded to fix the
chain. When all was well, we
made another start, but some
thing again went wrong, and we
stopped. This trouble was soon
adjusted, and our next stop was
made within about one mile of
Enfield when we had a blow
out" 1t was then ten minutes
before time for services. Several
cars came up, and we got in one
and went on to fill our appoint
ment, When services were over,
one of the members carried US to
the place of the wreck. We were
there a good while and seemed
to make no headway. 1t was then
nearly five O'Clock and it did not
seem as though we would get
back to Rosemary in time to
hold services, but soon, two boys
from Weldon who had been out
driving came up and asked US
Iif we wanted to go to Weldon.
We accepted the invitation. Upon
arriving in Weldon, we could
not find a car ready, and so we
proceeded to walk in order to
get back for services. We did not
90 far, however, when Peter
Shell, well known in the COM
munity came along and landed
us safely back home and thus
saved the day.

HEALTH Officer ASKS FOR
ABOLITION OF SURFACE CLOSETS
Board Of Commissioners Now Con-
sidering Ordinance Requiring
Installation Of L. R. 5. Septic
Tank System in Corporate Linn
its. Surveys Being Made Now.
FINAL DECISION FRIDAY, JUNE 2l

DR.. T. W. M. Long, Health
Officer of the Town Of Roanoke
Rapids has asked the Board OF
Town Commissioner to adopt an
ordinance forbidding the use OF
surface closets in the corporate
limits of the town. DR.. Longs
request is made for the reason
that it has been found practically
impossible to maintain the pre-
sent type of hyless closet in any
thing approaching a sanitary
condition and with the increasing
scarcity of labor the closets are
reaching the point of becoming a
menace to the health of the
town.
The board is therefore consid-
ering the compulsory installation
of the L. R. S. Septic Tank Closet,
which has been in satisfactory
use in the Roanoke Mills village
for some time and which meets
every requirement from a health
standpoint. The makers of this
closet have been requested to
make survey of the town, re-
port the number of installations
necessary and submit an esti-
mate as to the cost of installing
the system. They have also been
asked to state the best terms
they could give the citizens of the
town in regard to payment for the
closets.
This they have done and have
offered to install the closets for
approximately $500 each, and
to allow payments to be made in
four equal amounts three months
apart.
There will be a meeting of the
Board on Friday night, June
q, at the Mayors Office to take
final action on the proposition
and all property owners affected
are invited to be present when
this matter comes up.

Unfit to fight unfit to marry.

In my oppinion one of the best
ways to fight the spread of vice
diseases is to give the ugly facts.
These facts show that practically
every immoral person is a dis
eased pearson, and if people
knew that any breach of the
moral law would almost certainly
incur those frightfulpenalties this
knowledge would operate as a
powesful restraint. A campaign
of information in the press, from
the pulpit and chiefly in the
home would produce gratifying
results. | think the government
would do we'll to throw these fig
ures and charts on the screen in
every moving picture show in the
land. False modesty should no
longer be allowed to camouflage
the fearful ravages of social vice.
In these words Governor Beckett
before the recent annual conven-
ton of the North Carolina Feder-
alton of Woman's Clubs in ses-
sion at Raleigh urged an emerge
tic campaign against the social
vices which result in such a large
numbr of cases of venera. diseas-
es. The Governor went further,
and urged the sterilization of
those mentally deficient as a re-
suit of such diseases, and the
number is large, as well as sug-
gesting very forcefully that a
man who is not fit physically to
fight for his country is also not
fit to marry.
The address of Governor Beckett
emphasizes the work of the State
Board of Health along this line.
In conjunction with the council
of National Defence the North
Carolina State Board of health is
having prepared series of spe-
cial bulletins on this subject, and
is arranging to place warning
placards of an educational nature
in CONSPICUOUS places throughout
the State. The control of vener-
al diseases among the cival
population is looked upon as one
of the most serious problems in
connection with the health of the
men in the National Army train
ing camps, and the Army Medi-
cal Corps is assisting the civil
authorities throughout the coun-
try in the effort for control and
eradication.

First Christian Church Gleanings.

There was a revival at our ser
vices last Sunday night. There
were six additions to the church.
The sermon by the pastor of the
church was; "A Christian De-
Tending Himself, F." it was plain
and simple, and when the invit-
alton was extended six persons
went forward. Revival sare fine
and no one believes in them more
earnestly than does the Christian
Minister, but for people to accept
Christ at the regular services is
much better.
