Beekman played we'll enough; In fact
his tennis was far above the ordinary

outclassed Mclaughlin did not appear
to be taking any too much trouble aboNt
winning. and on occasions II appeared
that the Californian preferred trying out
strokes TO going after points. AS the
score attests. however, Mac" had the
punch when It was needed. which In IT.
self was much like the Mac of fve
years back.
In the opening set. after dividing the
first two games on service. Mclaughlin
got right dowp to business and carried
of four In a row, He let up then and
allowed Beekman to win a couple of
games before he finished the set. Nc
LouGhlln showed just how we'll he could
go by making 20 aces by placement
against for Beekman, and proved fur

making 80 errors against Fl for the

SOLDIERS,
SAILORS AND MARINES!

More than 1000 delegates from
every state in the union and from
practically every congressional
district, who served in the war
against Germany met in st.
Louis, NO., May 8, 9 and 10 and
launched The American Legion.
These delegates, confirmed in
st. Louis, the action taken by
the men of the A. E. F., at a
caucus in Paris last March when
the initial step in the formation
of this organization for men of
the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps was taken.
The American Legion is a vet
erans' organization. It's pur-
pose is non-political and non-par-
tisan; it will keep alive the
principals of justice, freedom
and democracy for which these
veterans fought and will preserve
to future generations the history
and incidents of their participa-
ton in the war. Also, it will
cement and perpetuate the ties
of comradeship formed in the
service.
At this st. Louis. caucus the
delegates carefully advoided the
enuciation of policies, feeling
that such action should not be
taken until that portion, of the
Legion still in France arrived
home and could be consulted.
In about six months it is be-
lieved that most Of the men of
the A. E. F., will be at home.
Therefore, it was decided to hold
a convention with them in Min
neapolis, Minnesota, November
10, II and IL, making it an
Armistice Day celebration.
State organizations are being
rapidly perfected. There is one
in your state. You shouh en-
roll in the Legion at once. If
you will forward your name,
outfit and home address to the
committee named belbw it will
be sent to your State secretary
who will furnish you with CON-
plete information abort the St.
Louis caucus and tell YOU how to
join the Legion. ~

u. S. DEBT CONVERTED
INTO A CREDIT

Americas pre-War debit in
Europe of six billion dollars has
been converted into a postwar
credit Of eight billion dollars, ac-
cording to a statement made by
Lewis B. Franklin, director of
the War Loan Organization of
the United States Treasury.
THE money we owed Europe
at the outbreak of the war had
gone into our transcontinental
railroads, the up-building of our
cities and public works" he said.
Securities for our loan were
held in England, France, Hol-
land and Garmany."
Since that time we have
bought back four billion dollars
worth of these securities and
loaned privately to Europe two
billions more equalizing accounts.
In addition we have loaned the
Allied nations eight billion dol.
lars.
I'VE cannot look to Europe
again for capital to develop the
natural resources of the United
States. Europe is looking to US
as the creditor nation, and en-
ployers are looking to the people
Of the United States for the
money to make further develop
ment possible.
That is the aim the govern
nent has in mind when it wants
to perpetuate the savings idea
that originated during the war
period. Now that we can no
onger look to Europe to send US
money for the development of
,ur natural resources the United |
States government is ready to 90 |
nto a campaign to foster and
encourage the ideas of careful
spending and the elimination of
waste"
Mr.. Franklin asserted that the
governments thrift campaign to
nculcate the habit of saving In
connection with the sale of Thrift
md War Savings Stamps was
'ital to the future financing of
he country.

The first fatal automobile &C.
cident in the history of our town
occurred Sunday evening about
eight o'clock, when the racer be-
longing to and driven by Frank
Dickens, Superintendent of the
plants of Roanoke River Develop
ment Company turned turtle in
front of the Roanoke Rapids Hos
pital, killing Dickens instantly.
In the car with Mr.. Dickens
were G. M. Cargile, of Weldon,
and Henry Twisdale, of this city.
Mr.. Cargile, and Mr.. Dickens
were caught under the car and
Mr.. Twisdale, who was sitting
in Mr.. Cargile's lap was thrown
out of reach of the tumbling car.
The particulars of the terrible
accident as related to the writer
by q friend of the young men,
and also an eye witness of the
wreck are that whiskey and
speeding were the cause. This
party stated that he noticed the
driver had lost control of his car
as 1t was going from one side Of
the Avenue to the otherr
A crowd was in front of the
hospital where a previous acci-
dent had occurred, ian automo-
bile striking a horse and badly
lacerating him). Many men in
this crowd narrowly escaped be-
ing struck by Mr.. Dickens car,
as the car made q sharp turn d.
rectly towards the crowd just be-
fore reaching it. In the attempt
to regain the center of the
Avenue the car turned turtle
throwing the occupants from the
same and pinning Mr.. Dickens
and Mr.. Cargile under the over
turned car. Mr.. Dickens was
killed instantly, our informant
thinks, when he struck the pave
nent, having struck it head first.
Mr.. Cargile probably owes his
ife to the fact that he was caught
n the open space caused by the
steering wheel and the oil tank
back of the seat.
The car was quickly lifted
rom the mems bodies and Mr..
Jargile carried into the hospital.
where he received medical atten-
ion. Examination proved his
INJURIES not to be serious, bruis- ,
ID up a good deal and greatly
hooked. He left the hospital
afternoon. /
Mr.. Twisdale's injuries were I
he slightest of the three, how |
'ver he was badly shaken up and |
,ruised. !
Mr.. Dickens body was moved
rom the scene of the accident to G
he undertaking establishment
t E. B. Glover and later carried J
o his home in Weldon by rela- s
