ERRORS COST GAME;
CHATHAM LOSES 7-6
♦
Defeat Adams - Millis
Here Saturday 11 to
1; Go to S. C.
Developing a bad case of butter
fingers in the ninth, the Chatham
Blanketeers last Thursday- night
dropped a game to White Oak at
Greensboro by the score of 7-6. Er
rors on the part of locals were res
ponsible for the defeat.
Saturday the Blanketeers defeated
Adams-Millis, of High Point 11 to 1
in a game played here.
Chatham had led White Oak 6 to
3 up until the ninth when Rumple
was met with a series of singles that
pulled the game out of the fire for
the Greensboro team. However,
Rumple pitched a fine game with
the exception of two bad innings, the
first and ninth.
Cornelius led both teams in hitting,
collecting a homer, a double and a
single out of four trips up.
Saturday at Chester, S. C., the
Blanketeers play the last of a three
game series with Dunean Mills, of
Greenville, in the Charlotte Observer
semi-pro tournament. Each team
has won one game. Loss of this
game will mean that Chatham will
be eliminated while if they win they
stand a good chance of winning the
tournament.
Sunday the Blanketeers go to
North Wilkesboro. They were play
ing North Wilkesboro here Wednes
day afternoon as The Tribune went
to press.
OLDEST FILLING
STATION DOOMED
Constructed In 1914 When Gasoline
Was Dispensed Only From
Curbside Pumps
Memphis, Tenn.—The world's old
est drive-in service station has yield
ed to progress and the tools of the
wrecker and is now an ordinary
parking lot. The unique distinction
of being the first such station was
believed to belong to the Esso out
let at the corner of Union and Dud
ley in this city, which was opened
in September of 1914 when gasoline
was dispensed only from curbside
pumps and such a thing as the ser
vice station was unknown. When a
special building was erected for this
purpose the public thought it was
foolish to cater so much to the
motorist.
The Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, however, had different
ideas about this matter. Its officials
determined that this service station
would set the pace for others to
come later. When it was opened it
operated on a 24-hour basis. Five
pumpers handled the actual pump
ing of the gasoline. Five negro por
ters put in oil and cranked auto
mobiles, which at that time were
nat yet equipped with self-starters.
Two negro maids were also on duty
and passed ice water to all custom
ers coming into the station. So uni
que was the service rendered at this
station that it was not unusual for
motor cars to be lined up for blocks
to get In.
Changing traffic conditions and
the erection of new and more mod
ern outlets by the Standard Oil
Company in Memphis made neces
sary the abandonment of this pio
neer station. •
SALES TAX WARNING
Raleigh, Aug. 4.—A warning to
'every person selling merchandise at
retail in North Carolina that they
must file sales tax returns and pay
ments by August 15 or be liable to a
5 per cent penalty was sounded to
night by A. J. Maxwell, state revenue
commissioner.
- Under the new sales tax law every
person selling merchandise at retail
must file returns and make tax pay
ments each month for the preceding
month, Maxwell pointed out. The
July payments will be in 'arrears
after August 15.
Louisiana may some day be the
largest state in the union—built up
by soil deposits from 26 other states.
THE Ef KIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
Surry Baptists
Hold Meeting
(Continued From Page One)
Adams and J. A. McMillan before
the noon hour, and the mtorning
session was closed by the annual
sermon, delivered by Rev. J. H. Hall.
Committees were appointed as fol
lows: On Resolutions: O. H. Hauser,
T. S. Draughn and G. A. Tucker; on
Time and Place: C. A. Simmons, J.
E. Cook and E. C. James; Program
Committee: A. V. West, Eph Whis
enhunt and W. M. Johnson.
Ordained ministers visiting from
other associations were J. P. Davis,
Yadkin, and J. A. McCoin, Three
Fork Association, Watauga county.
The first report of the afternoon
session (Friday)-was on the Baptist
Orphanage, and was given by Mrs.
T. W. Church, of this city. The re
port was followed by a very stirring
address on the work of the orphan- i
age given by I. G. Grier, superin
tendent of the institution.
Then followed two minute reports
given by the churches conducted by
E. C. James.
Other reports on various phases
of the work of the denomination
were given during the remaining
part of the afternoon session, and
spoken to by leaders of the denomi
nation.
The Friday night session was fea
tured by a discussion of a novel plan
of church finance for farmers, which
is known as "God's Acre Plan." In
this plan each farmer sets aside an
acre of his land for his church and
gives all that is made on that acre
of land to the church. This plan of
church finance has been used by the
farmers of Georgia and South Caro
lina for a number of years. A com
mittee composed of W. E. Woodruff,
Mrs. W. A. Jackson and Mrs. E. C.
James was appointed to make a re
port on this matter at the nex' an
nual session.
Again on Saturday morning the
delegates assembled at 9:45 and af
ter a brief period of worship the
business program was continued.
The morning session was featured
by the report on "Women's Work,"
which was followed by a very inspir
ing address by Mrs. E. C. James.
Then followed reports on Christian
Education and Old Ministers' Relief,
given by W. E. Woodruff and spoken
to by himself, J. H. Hall and J. R.
Johnson, pastor of the Mount Airy
church.
Dr. Smith Hagaman, superintend
ent of the Baptist Hospital at Wins
ton-Salem, made an excellent talk
on that institution, stating that the
hospital has admitted more than
29,000 patients during the 12 years
of its service, and that at present
one-half of the patients are in the
non-pay group.
Just before noon M. O. Alexander,
a state denominational worker sent
out by the General Board, made an
intensely interesting talk on "Our
Goal For Next Year."
The Saturday afternoon session
was featured by the report on Sun
day School, by C. A. Simmons, which
was spoken to by him; the report
on B. Y. P. U. work given by A. L.
Hiatt, which was spoken to by Orady
Burgiss; and the reports of- the var
ious committees. The committee on
time and place selected Friendship
Baptist church as the place for the
1936 session, and the time is to be
Thursday and Friday before the 4th
Sunday in July. Rev. J. H. Hatley
is to preach the annual sermon.
The closing inspirational address
was delivered by Rev. Eph Whlsen
hunt, pastor of the local church, us
ing as his topic "The World's Great
est Missionary Field —Your Home
and Mine."
Mount Airy church proved a very
gracious host to the association, pro
viding a sumptuous dinner for each
day of the meeting and also meals
and lodging for all who wanted to
stay overnight.
Local people taking part on the
program were Rev. Eph Whisen
hunt, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. James,
Mrs. T. W. Church and Grady Bur
giss. Others attending the meeting
from time to tflne were Mrs. W. J.
Thurman, M&sses Effie Crater,
Hazel Byrd, Minnie Ruth McNeill
and Margaret Sale; Rev. J. L. Pow
ers, Harvey Wagoner, Lonnie Mar
tin and Jinzmie James.
