visiting friends and relatives.
The Person County high school
baseball team opened its official
season Monday afternoon and amid
a cold drizzling rain blanked Little
River High School of Durham. 3-9.
j The weather brought a halt to the
game in the bottom of the fifth
inning but pitchers Levi Royster
and John Lawson, who went three
and two innings respectively, had
already shown that they were
ready for the tough schedule that
is in the foreground, by allowing
the visitors one hit in the five
frames. Ear! Lunsford led at bat
with a double and triple, John
Mitchell followed with a single
and double Both are outfielders.
Only two regulars a'-e back from
last year's squad, but with a break
from the ole weatherman so the
novices can get in a few good hard
practice sessions, the team may
come through with a fair season.

Senator Kerr Scott and his bung- j
j ling of the word "Negro" in an j
| address that he delivered here last j
| week on the Rural Progress pro- !
i gram when awards were given to |
! Person County for being named i
the county of the year in Norih !
I Carolina ... It takes a long time •
i and a lot of practice to shorten
| the letter “O” in the word "Negro'' I
consistantly when speaking, os- I
pecially. when one knows how to j
pronounce it and has been aceus- j
turned to pronouncing and hearing 1
I’t pronounced correctly ail through |
life. . . He knew better. . but iridi- i
viduals have different ways of ;
showing off. Some play smart,
some play lazy, some piav rich.
! some play poor, others play dumb
!f you've been around, just lis
ten to the actors conversation or I
i speech and it dosen’t take long to j
judge what role he is faking. One j
former admirer of Senatoi Scott j
said after hearing the speech, “I I
thought he was a big man, but he !
implied today that 1 was wrong." j
The man- that came to town and i
brought a home and a business j
