We are justified by our text in
the statement that for the sake of
one man a city would be forgiven.
Jerusalem has forfeited the right to
exist as a political entity under the
special care of Jehovah but, still. says
He, if one man of righteousness can
be found the city shall be spared.
Here is a divine estimate of a man,
not a negative but a constructive
force, a being committed to a con-
structive program. BE are reminded
of that scene on the plains of land
later to be known as Judea, where
man prays for a city and offers as
his excuse for the prayer the presence
there of a righteous man and his
family. 1t is not for the sake of this
saves a city but for the sake of the
sinners. The righteous man is Gods
hope for saving them.

THE ROTARIANS AT THE COL
LEGE

The Rotarians gave the faculty and
the student body of the Atlantic
Christian College a royal good time
last evening and their guests in ap-
preciation sung their college songs,
said nice things about the Rotarlans,
and President Hilley expressed his
sincere thanks for the effort the Ro-
tary Club is making to bring the
college in closer touch with the peo-
ple of Wilson and to demonstrate to
the public generally that we have
here an institution of learning sec
ond to none in the country in the
line of work it is performing.
The evenings entertainment con-
sisted of the reception of the faculty
and students of the College by the
Rotarians, who with their wives and
lady friends were lined up in the
hall and shook hands with their
guests as they filed by. First came
the young lady students, charming
number they were, wreathed in
smiles to greet their guests. Then
came the male students, handsome
young fellows, who heartily grasped
the hands of the Rotarians, and told
the latter they were glad to have
them at the College. Lastly the fac
uity, who also beamed upon the Ro-
tarians.
This concluded, all hands entered
oh 60
students occupied the body of the
auditorium, while the Rotarians were
seated together on the right, ready
for the program of the evening
tertainment committee.
DR.. Henry Best was master Of GER
emonies and made a good one. He
J introduced Mr.. Holmeister of Balti-
more who arrived yesterday to assist
lin the community service work in
this city. Mr.. Hofmeister who pos
sesses a good voice, put pep and
ginger in the singing, and under his
leadership the Rotarians made a fine
showing with their voices.
America was the first song, with
Mr.. Elmer Oettinger our accompan-
ist at the piano. Other songs were
sung, by the Rotarians and then the
students gave their college song TN
der the direction of Mr. Hilary
Bowen with Miss Chapman teacher
of music accompanist. This was fol
lowed by an improvised cheer for the
Rotarians which pleased the latter
Immensely.
The wit and the 1inguist of the
club, Mr.. Walter Edgerton was or
the program to tell the College folks
what the Rotarians think of them
and we'll did it in his own ingenious
and captivating way. Mr.. Edgertor
was at his best. He started out by
saying that the moment was truly
embarrassing, because he had fount

crowd was the smallest we have had
in two years with the exception Of
ore day, at which time the weather
was too bad to expect a crowd. The
games today and tomorrow should
draw a larger crowd and the chances
are that such will happen. Tarboro
has a good team and puts up scrap
all the time. They played yesterday
just like they had chance at the
pennant, and there was no let up in
their work, or in their effort to win.

Judge Landi's decision did not
hinge upon the point of being over
the salary limit so much as upon the
matter of bonuses not being shown
previous to the ending of the second
half. The local authorities and
those at Rocky Mount really did not
know that a bonus was considered a
legal part of a mans salary. When
they found out such was true they
Immediately came within the rulings
of organized ball, and showed what
each player was receiving. Our afi-
davits to this effect date back to
June goth, and the 20 per cent cut in
salary dated July 20, dates back to
July 18th. In any case, even if the
Virginia League authorities are in
clined to cut out games that we won
they cannot carry the matter beyond
July 18th. The three games that we
won from Richmond here July Is, 10
and goth, and the game we won from
Norfolk in the July 21st series would
not be affected. However, the ques-
tion of taking games away from Viii
son that she won from July 4th to
July 18th, is a matter yet to be de-
! cided and regardless of President
Rradley's reversed position it is not
possible to take them away legally

of the Wilson team President Brad

changing OF the place is mighty
good thing because the sentiment in
Norfolk and Portsmouth is very hos

The question of throwing out the
games that Wilson participated in
from July 4 to 23rd, is a debatable
question. There is very little 1ikeli-
hood that such can be done legally,
but of course when the voting
strength of the League is considered
It may be possible. On the other
hand there is a higher authority than
the Virginia League as has recent
ly been proven. The question Ct
throwing out games that we have

Children March
in Order Out of
Burning Building

Saco, Me-, May 19.-Forty-nVe
young pupils of the Jordan Grammar
school in Pepperell Park left the
building by way of the fire escape at
1915 this morning when fire was dis
covered in pile of shavings in the
basement Of the two-story brick
building.
The tire was discovered by a boy Of
the manual training school on the first
floor who went into the basement ON
an errand. He notified c. a. Clark.
teacher of manual training, on the
first floor. After dismissing the boys
in his department. all of whom left
the building quietly. Mr.. Clark went
to the second floor where he notified
Mrs. Sumner L. Henderson, teacher of
the domestic science school, and Miss
Lutte NJ. Harmon, teacher of Grade
la, who gave orders for all the chill
dren to leave the rooms in an orderly
manner by means of the fire escape.
The children formed in line and
marched down the fire escape. the
older children assisting several of the
little girls, who were quite badly
frightened. The teachers remained in
the building until the last pupil had
left when they followed them down
the fire escape to the ground.
In the meantime an alarm was sent
i'm from Box 81. and the department
responded. When they arrived they
found metal can filled with shavings
on fire, the blaze being quickly extin-
guished by chemical. The building
was filled with smoke, and one little
girl, Edna King, who ran back after
her books, had considerable difficulty
in finding her way out Of the build
ing. The origin ofthe fire is I'M
known. but Fire Chief Mayo is of the
opinion that some boy may have
snapped a lighted cigarette into the
shavings bin. When Mr.. Clark went
into the basement at 10 O'Clock recess
there was no sign Of fire.
