Rob Negro Of $75 On
Court House Square
Buck Clanton, negro saw mill
operator, is poorer by $75 as a re- ~
suit of a conversation with three J
strange negroes on the court house
square here Saturday.
Clanton's account as told to
Chief Drake a few minutes later
was rather confused, but it seems
that the negro had just come from J .r
the bank with his payroll when he ^
was drawn into conversation by
two of the strangers. A third came C(
up and in some manner took his
money, whether by force or trick- C)
ery is not known. w
It is believed that the strangers fi
operated the old pocketbook skin b:
game on Clanton. They made a n
clear get-away.

Pinnell Says It Is
Unlawful To Trap
Trapping fish in any of the inland
waterways of the State is
absolutely against the law, E. Hunter
Pinnell, game warden for Warren,
commented Wednesday after
a trip to Raleigh where he was in
conference with State officials. The
law is plain upon the point, the
game warden said.
"I hope that none of our folks
will set traps in the branches or
creeks for fish," he added. "I would
hate to have to arrest a man for
trapping."

Claims Athletics
Make Women Ugly
Women athletes can never attain
more than the mediocre skill in
active sports ana regular participation
in men's games tends to make
women ugly and repulsive.
The statements are made by S. E.
Bilik, M. D., one of the foremost
authorities in physical education,
writing in "Plain. Talk."
"Competitive athletics are enjoying
the greatest popularity, yet women's
athletics are no further advanced
today than they were twenty
years ago," writes Dr. Bilik. "The
most valiant efforts of zealous feminists,
sport-page editors, ignorant
trainers, and shrewd promoters of
indoor track meets, have failed to
stimulate greater participation of
women in strenous sports.
"Baseball, basketball, football,
hockey, and track and field are admittedly.
man's games. The woman
lacks the strength, endurance, skill,
suppleness, agility, and resistance to
injuries, which are essential requisites
in competitive athletes. No
amount of training will ever enable
woman to attain more than the most
medicore skill in any of the above
sports. At the same time the incidental
exhaustive training tends to
fmicrhpn her bodv. robs her of her
I WMQAAW ? ,
I natural grace, and ultimately makes
her not only unattactive but actually
ugly and repulsive.
"Don't take my word for it. Watch
girl athletes in action or study the
photos of athletic events for women,
featured form time to time in the
illustrated sections of newspapers.
Athletes in 'fighting trim' are all
muscle and bone angles, and hollows,
and nervous tension. Get a woman
in the same physical condition and
you begin to wonder whether she has
tuberculosis or a mean husband.

McGuire Says Swimmers May
Be Hitting Water Within
The Next 30 Days
PLACE FOR. CHILDREN
Warrenton's swimming pool may
be ready within the next 30 days,
according to M. C. McGuire, promoter,
who spent yesterday at the
eolf club site with W. H. Hovd of
Henderson, civil engineer, making
a preliminary survey. They were
assisted by W. N. Boyd.
The survey was completed last
night and Mr. McGuire said that
excavation would start within the
next few days. Part of the materials
are on hand and the promoter
said that the pool should be
completed by the time that the
swimming weather opened up.
The pool when completed will be
100 feet long and 35 feet wide. The
depth of the water will be from 2
feet to 9 feet with a cut off
pool eight feet by 35 for the younger
children. The swimming tank
will be made of re-inforced concrete.
Funds for the pool have been
raised by selling memberships to
the golf club and by subscription
from members of the club who in
addition to their dues have contributed
substantial' sums. Credit
for raising this money is due to M.
C. McGuire and Ed Gillam who , '
made a canvass of the town.
Plans for lighting the pool at
night have not yet been worked
out, but Mr. McGuire said that this
would be attended to and that
many swimmers could enjoy their
fun at night.

WASHINGTON, March 27.?Political
Washington has followed with
deep interest details of the failure
of Tammany leaders to agree upon
a successor to Leader Olvany, whose
resignation, coming unexpectedly,
plunged the wigwam into turmoil.
Most of this interest resolves
around the question of what light
the New York situation sheds on
the future of former Governor Alfred
E. Smith politically. Specifically,
the effort to discover whether,
in the extended discussion of the
Tammany problem, Governor Smith

be reasonably expected to do were
