Twe#ve Maattii (la alnwl H.Ofl , FRIDAY. FEBRI'AUY 8. 1924. Oh you groundhog! Politics in these parts seems to have begun ticking right along. Wish we could get Roger Babson to write us a story on business in the Albemarle. The AdvancebClieves it would stack up mighty well against the rest of the country. Please observe the service in way of illustrations given The Advance by NKA on the Wilson, funeral. Puts The Advance right along with the bigger pa pers in pictorial news, doesn't it? If anything can be fastened on William Gibbs McAdoo in connection with his legal ser vices to oil interests that is off color, he has enemies enough to see that the thing is done prop erly. We are not done yet with tell ing you about tVie good "works' of the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce. The Advance must admit that, despite the fact that it keeps in fairly close touch with this organization, we had never realized how much work and detail are handled by it in the course of a year. Meet John B. Foster For the next few days The Advance will use the editorial columns to introduce to its read ers the various newspaper men who have been added to its staff of special corresponde nts through an agreement with the Consolidated Press Association. Today we present John B. Foster, whose daily dispatches on professional baseball have been"fft>pearing in The Advance for the last two weeks. There is hardly a greater authority on professional base ball today than John B. Foster. He knows baseGall from every angle. He has studied and cri ticized the game as a newspaper writer of distinguished attain ments. He has been a part of the very fabric of baseball. As secretary of the "Giants" in New York for seven years, and as a maker and interpreter of original rules, he has helped to build up the game to its present eminence. It was he, in collab oration with John T. Bush, who drew up the rules of the fa mous world series which each year hold all of fandom at atten tion. Mr. Foster not only knows the ind and outs of the game it self, but he knows the men who play and the men who direct and manage. He had his base ball beginnings as a very young man under Henry Chadwick, known to every fan as the "fath er of baseball," and under "Un cle Nick" Young, who for so lohg was president of the Na tional League. Because of the part he had taken in rules changes and codification, and in advising about scoring methods, President Young named Mr. Foster as an official scorer for life. He accepted the position as an honorary one, his many other duties preventing him from serving actively. Another illustration of his close association with the game is the fact that for 13 years he has been the editor of Spalding's Official Baseball Guide, having succeeded Henry Chadwick, and being one of the only three edi tors the Guide has ever had. He also has been editor of Spald ing's Official Baseball Record for all the years of its publica tion except one. Mr. Foster has reported not less than <1,000 bit? league games. He was sporting editor of the Cleveland Leader when it was a morning newspaper; and then for 15 years was head of the sporting department of the' New York Evening Telegram.' For two years he was baseball , writer on the New York Herald, j In addition to his long experi ence as a graphic newspaper I writer, he has contributed arti cles on sports generally, and : baseball in particular, to all of | the leading magazines. With remarkable ability as a writer, and with a background of baseball experience second to none in the country, Mr. Fos ter's articles in The Advance will stand alone in their parti cular field. . Naturally The Advance is( proud to add a writer of such eminence in his line as Mr. Fos ter to its staff. David Law rence, Robert Small and John B. Foster are three names of what we now designate our "big: four" special correspondents. Can you guess the other?

In London, a man got arrested for cussing in a show. We think we have seen that same show. i The ladies of the Woman's Club, 'were asked to donate three hus-j bands for next Wednesday and; Thursday evenings by Mrs. J. W.I Modlin at the monthly meeting I Thursday afternoon at the Commu-j nity building. This startling request was soon explained, as the men were wanted to operate the lights on the nights of the Minstrel Revue, which will be staged tor the benefit of The Linden at the high school au ditorium, February 13 and 14. Many offers of husbunds were quickly made. Mrs. Modlin then presented tickets to be sold, and quite a number were taken, the adult tickets to sell for $1.00 and the children's for 50 cents. The discussion of purchasing! property for a club house was anoth er feature of the afternoon andl much enthusiasm was displayed. A committee was appointed to take the' i matter up, with the view of find ing a suitable site and to solicit I shares. The committee was eom I posed of Mrs. J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Mrs. J. G. Fearing and Mrs. A. H.j Worth Reports were read by the chair men of the different departments, I Mrs. Ethel Lamb, club president,' | presiding. | | Mrs. C. P. Brown made a report j for the literary department. Miss Marcie .-Ubertson, chairman | ; of home economics department, men j tinned the splendid work done by | Mrs. Cal Harris for the poor. Mrs. J. G. Fearing, district pres-j ident, urged the ladies to read the artio'e in Monday's Advance oh the work being done in the state by the J Woman's Club. She also advised held in Edenton on April 8. It was j voted, that as the ladies of Eden j ton will prepare a luncheon, that an jail day session be held on that day. "All work and no play, makes ;Jack a dull boy." sad Mrs. Fearng.j jso she suggested that the Woman's Club adopt the custoni of the Ki-I J wania and tRotary Clubs and havej a banquet at each monthly meeting.] Mrs. J. W. Modiln made a fine! [report of The Linden, but said that' i the expenses could be greatly re-j j duced If the ladies would assist in ?. I serving meals. It was voted thatj i during court week assistance would i be given. I Several charity cases were brought | before the club and were referred I to Mrs. C. D. Bell and Mrs. W. J. j Woodley to bring to attention of ' the proper authorities. I Mrs. C P. Brown read a letter ! from Mrs. Mabel Brawn of Norfolk, relative to giving a lecture before i the club. It was decided to refer the matter to Mrs. Brown and a com mittee for decision. Mrs. Fearing then announced the biennial meeting of Woman's clubs to be held In Los Angeles in June. She said that a special car, known as the North Carolina Car would leave from Raleigh with delegates and visitors for this convention. The cost of the trip will be $225.
