Mr. Frank B. McKlnne came near

last Friday evening when the right
hanl rear wheel to big Ford semi
truck was smashed by the Loulsburg
train at the Tarboro road crossing
Mr. McKlnne says he slowed down as
he approached the crossing and saw
nor heard anything of the train and
proceeded to cross, and that as he
ran up on the track he saw the train
right at him. He Immediately put
on all the gas he could causing the
car to jump, which put him sufficient
ly far enough across to save a serious
or fatal accident. At this point the
train approaches quietly, as It Is roll
ing down hill. Just as the car pass

THREE FIRE ALARMS ONE WEEK

The call of the Are alarm begun to
be familiar Id Loulsburg the past

ed three calls.
The first was at the home of Mr. W.

1504.00, partly covered with Insurance.
The second alarm was sounded on

lor, but the firemen visited the home
of every Mr. Taylor In town and re
tuurned to the flrehouBe without find

The third was Tuesday afternoon

Ben T. Holden and occupied by Rlck
le Wright and Merman Wright, and a
new tenant whose name we could not
get, and located on an alley running
back of Mr. Holden's residence burn

STERLING 8T0BE IS
BOBBED FOB FOITBTH
TIJCE WTTBIN YEAB
For the fourth time within the last
year the Sterling Store *was robbed
when burglars broke Into It Thursday
night and escaped with a quantity of
loot.
It Is thought that the coming of
winter prompted this latest robbery
as so far only several overcoats are
missing. It Is probable that the rob
bers stole other articles, but a com
plete check-up has not been made as
yet.
The burglars entered the store by
breaking a glass In the front door,
making It a comparatively simple
matter for them to gain further
egress. *
After helping themselves to what
ever they wanted, tiie burglars dis
appeared, leaving no clue. The lgpal
and county police are working on the
case and hope to make an arrest
within a short time. ? Frankllnton

LOUISBl'RG WINS SECOND
CONSECUTIVE GAME, 18-3
Tlw Strong Loulsburg Eleven Avenges
Former Defeat
Loulsburg has played Are games on
the local gridioron, all of them have
been interesting and thrilling, but
that of Wednesday of last week far
surpasses any of the previous games.
Although Loulsburg far outplayed
Tarboro the game was In doubt until
the final whistle blew. The game
opened when Tarboro kicked off to
Loulsburg, on the first play Cooper,
Loulsburg'a dependable star halfback
got off for a long gain through the
line but was overtaken before fee
reached the goal, however Loulsburg
continued her march up to within fif
teen yards of the goal when a fumble
gave Tarboro the ball. However Tar
boro could do little with the ball and
Loulsburg soon regained possession
of the ball. A little later Cooper
crossed the line for a touchdown. Al- i
len failed In try for goal.
Loulsburg scored twice In the first
half and once In the last half. Tar
boro's touchdown as the result of a '
spread formation and a nice run by ;
Simmons. Their extra point came on j
a forward pass, Simmons to Maynard ;
Loulsburg by far outplayed her oppo
nents In every department of the game
every man knew that Loillsburg had
to fight to win and every man did his
part. It was the same old story when
Tarbofo tried to buck the line for
Louisburg's line held as of old. Ear
ly in the second half Mills, Louis
burg's* star tackle was injured and ta
ken from the game, Holden filled his
shoes admirably well, however.
Tarboro's best playing came how
j ever when she held Loulsburg on her
| one foot line for four down. Tarboro
I punted "for fifteen yards ancT~ Cooper
j carried the ball across for the second
J touchdown. The game was frequented
by fine tackles and fine interference.
The Tarboro line could not hold Alex
Wilson, right tackle for Loulsburg
and he often broke through for tackles.
In the last five minutes of play
Loulsburg cut loose with fake plays
and forward passes. This netted
Loulsburg another touchdown, when
the final whistle blew Loulsburg was
down for another touchdown. Coop
er made all of Louisburg's touchdowns
There were several injuries during
the game.

SCHOOL MOTES
We are In the seventh week In the
new building. The work haa been
hindered somewhat, but we are Justi
fied In this. The new building Is so
much better In every way than any
thing Loulsburg has had before. The
rooms are large, well lighted, well
heated, and altogether comfortable.
The building is almost completed.
The auditorium and gymnasium will
be ready for use within a week or so.
Few towns of the population of Louis
burg have a building as complete in
every way as ours. We school folks
are proud of it, and we hope to make
it serve the community.
High school athletics has done well
this fall. We have won three foot
ball games, scored in two other games
This is a" much better showing than
most schools make the first year.
Friday of this week we will play Red
Oak at Red Oak. This will probably
be the last game of the season. It is
hoped that a large number of our peo
ple will go with the boys and "root"
for them. The games have not had
as large patronage as we think they
|. deserved. High school boys can not
play as good foot ball as college fel-.
lows, but they can feel a slight as
keenly. When their neighbors do not
attend the games, the hoys feel a bit
discouraged. When their neighbors
give more encouragement to the vis
iting team than to the home team,
the boys think it is treason. ?
This week an innovalion has been
Introduced In our school. The ladies
of the Woman's Club hare fitted up a
lunch room In one of the rooms of
the old building and at the noon re
cess hot lunches are served to all
who want them. These lunches are
well prepared, well served, and sold
at cost. Nearly all up-to-date schools
In this country run lunch rooms and
the ladles who are doing this work
for the benefit of the children should
receive encouragement.
There are still a few good people
who have not visited the school bulid
Ing. If you have no children In
achool. It may be that you like to brag
on something. Come up and see this
splendid new building; tell your
friends and neighbors about It. Af
ter looking It over, It you are not
pleased with It, you may need to con
sult a specialist; your vision may be
at fault.
Friends, let us all pull together for
a better school.
VISITS LOUISBrBti
