Perry was the first witness whose evidence was in effect that he saw the girl and examined the scene. She was struck while on the highway almost in front of Clyde Moody's house. He did not Bee Wiggins. He stated that he took measurements and that the girl was dragged 38 feet be fore she fell from the car, that the car ran 25 feet more before the brakes were applied, and that the wheels were drug 124 1-2 feet. * The girl was struck back of the head, and that-the car was a little to the right of the cen. tre of the road when she was struck. Mr. Perry was pot at the scene at the titoe of the accident, but was about a mile away. His evidence was taken from measurements and indica tions on the road. W. R. Flowers was the next wit ness called whose evidence was in sub stance that it was his car in which Hadel was riding and he wastraveling from Spring Hope, that Hazel got out of the car in front of Clyde Moody's where he had stopped for her to get out and that she passed behind his car. He saw Butler coming from Pi lot traveling toward Spring Hope driving a five passenger FOrd, driving rather fast but was not willing to state that Butler was traveling beyond I the speed allowed by law.

Louisburg has not had a team now for several years, and it is believed it has some excellent material and there is no reason why Louisburg should not put out as good an amateur team as can be found anywhere in this section of the State. At this meeting Mr. F. J. Beasley was elected president and Mr. David i Harris, secretary and treasurer. Work has already been started to put the diamond at the fair grounds i in shape and practice started Thurs ; day. The boys will be in fine shape in a few days for the first practice game, and no doubt we wUl be able ; to put out a winning team to begin the second half of the Southern Lea. . gue series which opening game is scheduled for July fifth. This league I will be composed of the following towns: Spring Hope, Bailey, Eureka and Louisburg. Two games will be played each week and the schedule [will be announced later. In addition to the regular league games the Lou isburg team will be open for games I with any other towns in this section. A large number of people in town as well as a few in the country have ' expressed a desire for baseball this [ summer. We have at least twenty ' five good men from which to pick a winning team, and the team #111 be composed entirely of local talent. The boys who expect to try out for the | team are all enthusiastic, and every i man will have to fight for his Job. :You all know Earl Murphy, he is a {dandy catcher, Bill Allen will hold jdown first base. It will be hard to decide on the other positions until [several days practice can be had. In order tg put a winning team on the field we must have the support of the tans. It costs a little money tc prepare for a baseball team and we feel sure the people of Louisburg will respond'* When called upon. BOYS ( A*P The Louisburg boys are going to the Y. M. C.
