speed were given as the cause of at
least IS per cent of the accidents.
1.-THE bad weather we had in Feb
ruary undoubtedly did more than
anything else to reduce the number
of killed, injured and the number of
accidents" Captain Charles D. Farm
err of the State Highway Ptarol said,
in commenting on the February acct
dent figures. Snow, ice and rain
forced drivers to be more. careful
than they usually are and also serv-
ed to reduce the number of cars on
the roads.
People Are Aroused
"But next to the bad weather, we
believe the second most important
factor in the reduced number of fatal
accidents is that people have become
more safety conscious and are triv-
ing more carefully than formerly
which means that the highway patrol
and the newspapers have at last be-
gun to get results from the safety
campaigns they have been carrying
on four years.

GOOD MATERIAL, NO
TEAM FACES HIGHS
Athletic Finances Unable to
Support Baseball Team
AS Yet

With probably the best baseball
prospects in years, Henderson high
school athletic heads were doubtful
today whether the school will have a
diamond team this year or not.
The main obstacle in the path of a
nine is finances, the athletic Golfers
at the school being sorely depleted.
Baseball equipment there has been in
use for many years and much of it is
worthless.
The highs could turn out a mighty
fine baseball team and one that would
go a long way toward a successful
season if they were given the oppor-
tunity.
Coach "Bing" Crosby is leaving
no stone unturned in his efforts to
raise money for the team, and plans
to stage a benefit show at Central
school soon in an effort to get some
ready cash with which to begin work.
The highs could use League park
for their drills and games as they
have in the past even though 1ender-
son may get in organized ball.
Whatever may be done or can be
done, must be done very shortly as
the season will be short one.

BASEBALL FATE Be
DECIDED WEDNESDAY
Powell to Be at Ellington
Meeting Tomorrow;
Will Decide Then

Fate of organized baseball or any
sort for Henderson hangs on a meet
ing to be held tomorrow niSnt at
the court house in Ellington, ana
Ed Powell will take group OF rep
resentatives to the session.
Henderson has been dickerlng Tor
a berth in the Tobacco State League,
a fast semi-pro circuit. but so far mas
been an odd club, Erwin, Angler,
Selma-Smithfield and Sanford MAX
ing up the circuit last year. Another
town must be secured to match Hen
derson, bringing the league to six
clubs.
Dunn and Fayetteville, prominent
ly mentioned for the sixth berth,
have failed to fill it. FranklintOn, an
other hope, looms in the offing, but
whether that town can muster enough
baseball spirit to carry the club
through the season is doubtful.
Joe Caviness, president of the To-
bacco State, is anxious to have Hen
derson in the loop, fully knowing,
the basebill spirit of Henderson.
Caviness is a former Piedmont Lea
que performer, having played for
Henderson when this town had a club
in the Piedmont.
Powell will know after "Wednesday
nights sesaion whether Henderson
will have a team in the circuit or
whether it will be forced to play in
dependent baseball, if any at all, dur
ing the summer months.

During Last Season and
Was Outstanding

Election of Neil Dalrymple as cap
tain of the 1887 North Carolina State
basketball team came as a conclusion
% one of States most successful
years on the hardwood.
Dalrymple, a Jonesboro boy, was
the logical player to succeed Charlie
Aycock, Raleigh boy and fine leader
of the 1896 team. Dalrymple will be
the only senior on the 1887 club. He
is a guard and ranked with the best
this year. His brilliant game against
Duke on January Is is still regarded
as one of the best individual per-
formances of the season.
The 1896 team was one of the best
ever developed at State by Coach r.
R. Sermon. 1t won Is of it's regular

semi-finals of the Southern tourna-
ment. 1t finished second in the Big

Next to Wilma, on the other side,

kept wetting her lips with her
tongue and her double chin wabbled
pitifully. And Ali Babba next.
His gray eyes were fixed on the

thought. The whole scene was
stamping itself on her consciousness

All the details clearly printed. Neither

Come on, lady. Strip that sinner
off your wrist" came the next COM
mand. "Toss it over where I can
reach it. an make it snappy. That's
the thing come for" Thora saw the
man take a step nearer the deserted
table. Hurry up, sister,"
Tears started to Wilma's eyes.
She covered her bracelet despairing-
ly with the fingers Of her right hand.
She turned to Babbas with an en-
treating.
"Alec, don't let him!"
Babbas did not stir, but Gordon did
and drew a snarling caution. Marsh's,
voice was heard next. speaking
quietly.
Take it Off, Wilma" With
shaking fingers she started to COM
ply.
a hot burst Of rage made the pic
ture grow dina before Thora Dahvs
eyes. This contemplate coward
knew about that bracelet. He ex-
pected Wilma to wear it. He said
that was what he had come for.
Thora poised herself IN her toes, took
a deep breath, thrust the door wide,
sprang.
She had but one idea in mind. To
lock her muscular young arms about
that man from behind, pin his own
arms to his side. to hold. i. and
