The visitors rallied for six runs in the seventh, but could not overcome the big margin piled up by the home team. Gough led the attack for Elkin with a home run, two triples and two singles in six attempts. Southern, on the mound for Elk in, gave up nine hits, but his sup port was ragged at times.

HAS PAID TOTAL $1,177 The Elkin Mutual Aid Associa tion has now been in active oper ation for several weeks, and the benefits to be derived by the members in the mill are imme diately apparent.

Several employees of the mill have ex pressed the desire to join, pro vided they receive the same con siderations, and the governing board of the association has very generously extended to all em ployees who join before May 15th the offer as originally presented. This affords all those who have not as yet become members an opportunity to join and enjoy the immediate benefits offered under the contract. We could illustrate this article with many examples of just what the association has meant as a money saving means of obtaining the proper medical attention, and we could also cite the many ex amples of relieved suffering among those members who have received attention which was long past due.
