DOUBLE HEADER FR1 DAY Coach Tom Cheek, the new men tor of the Jax cage team, will know how his 1933 squad will per form this season when they en gage the Henderson High in a double header in the high school gym, Friday night, the first game to be called at 7:30 p. m. Miss Traynham Wyche has tas ted victory once with her girls sextet, while Coach Cheek has a practice tilt win over the Aurelian Springs team with his Jackets. Both boys and girls teams have been working hard this week for the Henderson fray, which Will start the season off with full blast. Henderson will be no set-up for either team as they have always presented a strong team when vis iting the locals. Th eYellow Jackets seem to have some kind of jinx hanging over them, losing tilts last season by small point margins, altho turning in a fair record, but Coach Cheek with practically all of last year’s sqaud back, and with more experi ence expects a very successful season this year. The probable line-up for the boys will see Allsbrook and Y. Brown at guard, W. Dickens and I. Dickens, forwards, and Newton center. The skirts number one team is undecided but Mils, Stansbury, Tudor and Welch will be among the mainstays. ASKS DRY LAW REPEAL Old Timers tell us that Roanoke Rapids and Vicinity built Emporia into the center1 it is today. They say that back in the old days, when North Carolina was Dry and Vir ginia was Wet, everybody from around this section went to Em poria to “get theirs.” They did their trading there and also their banking. The result was that Em poria grew at the expense of North Carolina. That such a thing should not be repeated and that North Carolina shall modernize itself, keep in step with the times and get some much-needed revenue is the desire of Henry Fitts, who has written Snator Long asking him to work for the repeal of the Turlington Act, North Carolina’s Dry Law. A bill has been presented to the House this week calling for re peal, when, as and if Congress re peals the 18th Amendment or li beralizes the Volstead Act. North Carolina should be ready, as Hen ry says. His letter is as fellows: Roanoke Rapids, N. C. Senator T. W. M. Long, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Friend: I saw in the paper that the General Assembly ratified the Nor ris Bill or rather the "Lame Duck” bill and I would like to see them do something equally as good; that is, repeal the Turlington Act. As you know, we’re living on the border of Virginia and Vir ginia is already set to repeal the dry law. You know too that it will be very much to Virginia’s inter est to keep us dry, if possible. Have you thought how much it would cost the State of North Car olina and the United States gov ernment if Virginia goes wet and we stay dry? It would take a whole standing army. The Turlington Act ought to be repealed as an economical issue as well as a moral issue. If we ever needed the revenue, we need it now, to meet the budget. The people should not be dis appointed.. They showed what they wanted when they elected Robert R. Reynolds for the United States Senate by the overwhelm ing Democratic vote on November 8th. Yours very truly, ' HENRY FITTS. P.S.—I got some “low down” last night. I understand the Vir ginians are getting North Caroli nians to write to their Represen tatives telling them to let the Tur lington Act remain.
