Commandments
Worthy of Adoption
Some timely advice is given in
“Ten Commandments” penned by
an unknown author. Friends
think they are worthy passing on
to our readers.
1. Keep skid chains on your
tongue; always say less than you
think. Cultivate a low, persuasive
voice. How you say it often
counts for more than you say.
2. Make promises sparingly
and keep them faithfully, no mat
ter what it costs you.
3. Never let an ■ opportunity
pass to say a kind and encourag
ing thing to or about somebody.
Praise good work done, regardless
of who did it. If criticism is
merited, criticize helpfully, never
spitefully.
4. Be interested in others; in
terested in their pursuits, their
welfare, their homes and families.
Make merry with those who re
joice, and mourn with those who
weep. Let every one you meet,
however humble, feel that you re
gard him as a person of import
ance.
5. Be cheerful. Keep the cor
ners of your mouth turned up.
Hide your pains, worries and dis
appointments under a pleasant
smile. Laugh at good stories and
learn to tell them.
6. Preserve an open mind on
all debatable questions. Discuss,
but don’t argue. It is a mark of
superior minds to disagree and yet
be friendly.
7. Let your virtues, if you have
any, speak for themselves, and
refuse to talk of another’s vices.
Discourage gossip. Make it a
rule to say nothing of another un
less it is something good.
8. Be careful of others’ feel
ings. Wit, humor at the other
fellow’s expense are rarely worth
the effort, and may hurt where
least expected.
9. Pay no attention to ill-
natured remarks about you. Simp
ly live so nobody will believe them.
Disordered nerves and poor in
digestion are common causes of
back-biting.
10. Don’t be to anxious about
getting just dues. Do your work,
be patient, keep your disposition
sweet, forget yourself, and you
will be respected and rewarded.

BLANKETEERS
END SEASON
Hungr Up 67th Victory Wednesday
With 14 To 2 Win Over King:;
Turn To Basketball
The Chatham Blanketeers
closed their present baseball sea
son yesterday with a 15 to 2 vic
tory over King base ball team.
Voss pitching, was hit to all cor
ners of the field as the Blanket
eers hung up their 67th victory
of their present season.
The Blanketeers have won 67
games while losing only 16 for a
percentage of 807. Which is an
excellent record for any team.
The Blanketeers boast no in
dividual stars on the team but a
team of stars in semi-pro ranks
by playing together as one man.
Members of the team who
played for the local team are:
pitchers; Lefty Southard, Harvie
Stockton and Murphy Bumgarner.
Catchers; Delos Jones, Tom Park
er and Charles Munday. In
fielders; Hoyt Hambright, Edd
Maxwell, Charlie Gough, Rob
Robbins, Ben Woodruff and Ker-
mit Mackie. Outfielders; Tat
Davis, Grady Holcomb, Charlie
Gough and Ab Crater.
The Blanketeers are now look
ing forward to the coming basket
ball season, which will be some
thing new to the Elkin plant, as
they have never had a team before
but with the records and ex
perience that most of the present
baseball boys have there is no rea
son that Chatham Blanketeers
will not be as strong as the base
ball team.
Ed Maxwell is rated one of the
outstanding basketball players
that ever played in the Southern
Textile tournament at Greenville,
S. C., at which all the outstand
ing textile teams of the South are
represented. Ab Crater was a
star in high school as well as a
star at Oak Ridge and University
of North Carolina Freshmen, and
was high scorer on both Oak
Ridge and Carolina teams. Hoyt
Hambright led the state in scor
ing in two years at Erskine Col
lege and was voted on the All-
South Atlantic All-Star team at
the S. I. A. A. tournament at
Jackson, Mississippi for two years.
Charles Munday led all scorers in
the Salvation Army Tournament
and was one of the outstanding
players in the Charlotte Observer
tournament at Charlotte which is
attended by only the best teams
of the two Carolinas. Kermit
Mackie was a star guard at Guil
ford and is rated as a real first-
class guard. Delos Jones is an
other star performer and was
rated as one of the best players
in the Virginia tournament last
year.
With a few others that we
have the Blanketeer basket ball
fans will see in action one of the
best teams in local history.
