The Carolina Waterman is cele-
brating its 101st anniversary today
and from a standpoint of continu-
Gus publication is the oldest news
paper in North Carolina, being
founded July 20, 1882 by Hamil-
ton c. Jones, Esq, and since that
date has rendered 1O1 years of ser
vice to the community and state.
The present owners published
The Waterman in the summer Of
1881, a few weeks after the death
of William H. Stewart, who for a
number of years was editor of the
paper.
Recognition of the Watchman's
long years of publication came in,
1852 when the. Warchman was adj
mitted as a member Of the Cen
fury Club of the American Press.
1t is the purpose, Of the 1o1st
edition to deal largely. with the his
1orical background Of Salisbury
and Rowan county and elsewhere
IN this issue will be found valuable
references to important events OF
the past.
We are greatly indebted to Mr..
CLYDE Ennis for his untiring eff
forts in preparing for us several of
the most important historical arti-
cles that were taken from old re-
cords preserved in the courthouse.
In its life, The Waterman has
witnessed a remarkable growth and
development in the city, county
and state. 1t has led many Of the
progressive movements Of the city
and state.
To its readers, many of when
have been lifelong subscribers and
supporters and who have in the last
analysis made the paper possible,
this edition is dedicated.
Seven years after The Watch
man began publication it was pur-
chased by M. C. Pendfeton and ].
I. Bruner. The Waterman was a
Wing and anti-nullifcation paper,
and was intended to support Gen
Andrew Jackson in his anti-nullifl-
cation policy.
In 1913 Mr.. Bruner retired from
active work, but later he re-pur-
chased The Waterman and in 1914
entered partnership with the lats
Samuel W. James. After six year,
this partnership was Dissolved and
Mr.. Bruner became sole proprietor
He continued to publish The
Waterman until he was capturee
by Federal soldiers in the spring
of 1865; however, after a few
months he was allowed to resume
publication of the Waterman
Nj. Bruner died in 1890 after
publishing The Waterman for sc
years. The paper was then sold te
the Stewart family and w. H
Stewart published the paper unit
the spring Of 1881. When he. dice
the paper was purchased from hi
estate and the present Caroline
Waterman Publishing company
was formed.
In January, 1913, The Watch.
man purchased new and modern
newspaper equipment and moved
Offices and plant to 11s East Fish
er street, at which location th1
paper is now published.

TURNERTUTORS
TWO TW|STERS

Frank Judson and Joe Cox GO
to war tomorrow night when 10
sturdy grapplers clash on the
Washington Auditorium mat.
They are scheduled in the main
3O-minute preliminary to the
double windup bringing together
Able Coleman VS.. Ernie Dusek
and Fred Grobmier VS.. Dick
Daviscourt.
Having scaled the heights sem
sationally during the winter sea-
son by virtue of a Furnishing
wrist-lock taught him by Turner,
Judson will be forced to step
lively to outdo the aggressive
Kansas City boy.
Even as Judson profited by
Turner's advice, Cox, through
Joe's instruction, also has learned
just how to temper his willing
mixing with a certain amount Of
mat strategy.
Other 3O-minute bouts promis-
ing much find Karl Davis pitted
against Marshall Blackstock and
Hans Kampfer lined UP against
George VaSSell.

That McAfee is just about
ready to work again can be taken
from his 15-minute toll on the
mound yesterday in which he felt
no bad effects afterwards. He
went the entire round of the
hitters in the stick drill and
pitched as free and as easy as il
he had never hurt his arm in the
first place.
'T'm all right again, thank
goodness" Bill claimed after
the drill for the day. But
say, that old sore arm certainly
had me worried because 1 hated
to think it was going to keep
me.frOm making the grade with
the Griffs this year."
Although McAfee prob ably
won't be considered as starter
during the coming campaign, his
presence with the Griffs will aid
in many ways because Of his
faculty of fooling the batters in
the pinches.
Noteworthy Record
Last year. used mostly in relief
roles, McAfee hung up an un-
usually noteworthy record as it
became his fate to stop many a
scoring threat when sent to the
box to relieve some faltering
mate.
And the best part of his work
was the courage he displayed
while working under the most
crucial of instances.
Prexy Griffith liked this get-up
about the big pitcher and has
kept it back in his mind ever
since.
"McAfee is the type who'll
fight his head off for you in
the pinch" Griff has always
said. "And this is the kind Of
pitcher we want with this ball
club Of ours. Bill probably will
never be q big RinnsE 3oG Nga.
The Washington times., 1933-03-22

but he'll be fighting every time
he's sent to the box and maybe
he'll save a lot Of games by his
work. He's a good man to
have around just for these quail
ificatiOns."
McAfee was a small sensation
after joining the Griffs last sea
son. His first official appearance
on the mound was against the
Chicago White Sox in the second
game of a double-header at Grit
fifth Stadium last August.
New to the league he had the
Fonseca-team swinging theil
backs off to hit that slow curve
ball of his and as the records
will tell he defeated them by q
3 to / score.
In Relief Roles
Later he appeared in several
relief roles for Walter Johnson
manager at that time, and ii
was in these assignments that he
was able to hang up that envious
win record during the late weeks
of the campaign. His complete
record was six victories as against
only one loss.
Now that McAfee's arm has
responded to Trainer Mike Mar.
tins treatment, the only other
item necessary to make the en-
tire Griff squad in complete
readiness for the campaign ahead,
is the rounding into form of
Bobby Burke. Bobby has not
been heard from since his de-
parture for Selma, Ala, but it Is
Manager Cronin's opinion that
Bob will come back in pretty fair
shape, once the Chattanooga
teams doctor has had the chance
to get that kink out of his shoul-
der and has given Bob the usual
exercise routine following visits
of that sorts a..s-Ie,u..Aaa RiiiEa

1OQdy CTOn1u ana MS men lace
the Atlanta Crackers for the
fourth time this spring. Regulars
will get the call as usual with
Lefty Walter Stewart making his
first appearance on the mound
for the year, and Gen. Alvin
Crowder finishing out the string
Stewart was kept from pitching
in New Orleans last Sunday be
cause of the all-day rain, but will
be given full charge this after
noon to show his wares as Man
ager Cronin has had it mapped
out for some time to allow the
veteran to travel through the
first five innings of this particu
lar contest.
His showing will be watched
with undue interest as upon his
shoulders will hang one-fifth OF
the Griff's chances of winning
the pennant in this years race.
Lefty, fifth sixth place club,
won Is games last year, losing 10.
Has Confidence
Although this was far from be-
ing the most impressive record
in the world. Stewart has caught
the spirit which prevails with the
Griffmen this season in that he
has smiled confidentially while
believing that he'll enjoy one of
his best campaigns in his career.
This spirit, by the way, has
been carried by all of the new
players now with the Griffmen.
They all are tickled to death
about being with their new team
as they feel that they've hit the
peak of their respective careers
because of the pennant chances
the Griffs have for the important
race ahead. So Stewart does
not stand alone.
Getting back to Manager
Cronin and his ideas to keep his
men on their toes until camp is
broken here Saturday night, he's
ordered a "regular-yannigan"
game tomorrow. After suggesting
it every player in camp jumped
at the thought and the promise
is that the good old Biloxi
stadium will be a merry place
once Umpire Vangraflan signals
the start of play.

. Crooin will employ Johnny Bur
rows and Bob Friedrichs as the
pitchers for the regulars while
the veterans Earl Whitell and

won't go more than six innings,
but it will be something different

The Clans Gather

Word went out that the
signatures would be affixed with
due pomp and before many
clicking cameras at a fixed
hour meath the sheltering
palms of the patio hardly the
Yankee hotel. Everything was
set to sign, seal and deliver
when an embarrassing moment
arrived.
Colonel Rupert felt for his
fountain pen and after fum-
bling around in all of his vest
and coat pockets a very dumb
look came across his counte-
nance. He looked at Mark
Roth, Yank travelling secretary,
and Roth looked back just as
dumb. He then looked at Ruth
and Ruth burst out laughing
right in the good Colonel's face.
The newspaper men started
to wise crack about getting
along to the signing as they
wanted to get back to their
poker game. Finally one Of
them, the veteran Bill Hanna,
now deceased, caught the situ-
alton and saved it.
