Cole, orthopedic surgeon, of Grttsisboro a,. the club meeting last Thursday. No other time than this can prove the value of such a clinic, said Dr. Cole, when the State is faced with an epidemic of in fantile paralysis which leaves a certain percentage of its victims par tially paralyzed. Many of these cases can be* cured by the type of clinic which the local club will sponsor and all cases, where parents are unable to pay, will be treated free. The territory for patients will extend for a radius of 50 miles. Expenses of the clinic will be paid oy the Kiwanis Club. -o DIRECTORS of Rosemary Mfg.

To both these Roanoke Rapids boys, one finishing, one starting, on the careers they have wisely chosen, we wish the best of luck and all future success. DONKEY baseball came to Roanoke Rapids with a bang last Thursday night. At least it was a bang so far as the players were concerned. The largest crowd to pack Simmons Park laughed and yelled and had the time of their lives as local players banged the ground in vain at tempts to ride the bucking burros. Playing at Weldon last Wednesday night, the score was 0 to 0, but over here Weldon finally won 2 to 1 over Roanoke Rapids. The Kiwanis Club backed the game as an ex periment and will have a series of games here after the regular base ball season is over. Most remarkable feature: scores of people seen out there Thursday night who had not been seen at public affairs for a long time. Casualties: Bush Hux, injured shoulder letting donkey ride him; Julian Allsbrook, a hoof mark in the stomach for getting too near the wrong end.

J. defeated Max Baer two weeks ago. But a dark cloud hovers a ■ round in the shape of one Joe Louis, colored, Who whipped the mountainous Camera to death in 6 rounds Tuesday night. They will probably fight it out next Summer. DECISION HANDED DOWN TOD AY AT HENDERSON QUASHES PARKER RUL’G Halifax County citizens will be allowed the right to vote on the county liquor control system next Saturday, accord ing to the ruling of Superior Court Judge W. A. Devin made in Henderson today. The ruling of Judge Deviu was to the effect that the voters of Halifax County had the right to express themselves on this matter of liquor control and according to reports re ceived here this afternoon from Henderson the Judge did not attack the constitutionality of the law. The ruling was somewhat a surprise as Judge Devin is a Dry and the United Dry Forces have been helping the in junction proceedings before judges they thought favorable to their cause. Overwhelming majorities for control in Edgecombe and W ilson counties in last Saturday’s election, with immediate opening of county stores in Rocky Mount, Tarboro and Wil son, may have something to do with the sentiment now widespread thruout the State favoring control systems. A temporary injunction granted by Judge R. Hunt Parker to Halifax County drys stopping the election was set aside by Judge Devin’s action before whom the permanent proceedings had been set. If Halifax County votes for control next Saturday, it will not be necessary to use county funds to finance the stores as all supplies will be shipped in on consignment. At best, Halifax County will be about three weeks be hind its neighbor, Edgecombe County, in opening control stores. Among those asking for the injunction were two from Roanoke Rapids: Rev. V. H. Grantham and W. G. Lynch. Judge Devin’s decision was as follows: “This cause coming on to be heard upon order to the defendants to show' cause why the restraining order prayed for in the complaint should not be continued. After hearing all argument of counsel for plaintiffs and defendants, it is ordered that the temporary restraining order heretofore issued be and the same is hereby dissolved; however, without prejudice to the rights of the plaintiffs hereafter to renew their motions in this cause in the event illegal disbursement of the public funds or other illegal acts of the commissioners under this statute be attempted." LOCAL BAND HONORED AT ROCKY MOUNT FETE —-n The Rosemary Concert Band Was udged the most perfect military band of a half dozen represented in the Gallopade at Rocky Mount last week.

Sanders, Diretor, Howard H. “Jack” Erwin, Drum Major; Bruce Matheson, Luther Sims, Gerald Sims, William Coburn, George Cid lom, Joe Collins, Joe Bullard, Ter ry Draper, Byron Gurley, Coby Williams, Gilbert Jordan, Eugene Davis, Milton Harris, Marshal Coppedge, Robert M.
