Ccpe Fear Country Club to Build FOR BASEBALL LEAGUE IN EASTERN CAROLINA Good Progress Made On Selling Local Club StockNow Up to Canvassing Body Handsome Structure on New Site Prospects for professional baseball In Wilmington through the formation of the Eastern Carolina league were considerably brighter at 9:15 last night Dion thev were an hour later as a result of reports made by and to the way and means committee ratherincr of baseball fans r- at at the the Members of Club Hold Largest and Most Enthusiastic Meeting in History of Organization When Re-Building of Club House Destroyed Last Sunday Night Is Discussed. Finance and Site 'Committees to Report Soon That Jthe Cape Fear Country club will not dispose of its property near Delgado, but will in all probability erect its new and larger clubhouse on a site nearer the center of Its tract of 141 acres, was a statement made last night by President George Kidder, of the organization, immediately fol lowing an enthusiastic meeting of - - t 1, aIiiK n f Vi a A" niino- chamber of omm ffl,in n!

This canvassing body will, during next week, report back to the ways an.fl means committee the results achieved and the committee will have authority, in the event: -the anticipated progress has been made, to name a representa tive to attend the meeting to be held at Goldsboro for the purpose of for mally organizing the league. There will be no further public gathering here in the interest of tho league. It is now souarcly up to the people of the city and the members of the canvassing committee to say whether Wilmington shall enjdy pro fessional baseball during the approach ing spring and summer. Goldsboro anji New Bern are ready to go, reports from those cities indicate, while Kins ton, Greenville and Tarboro are crav ing baseball. It is believed that Htt'.e trouble will be encountered in getting all six of the cities lined up, if Wil mington will only, set iTie pace. Fifty business men of New Bern have already assumed the responsi bility of putting that city on the base ball map, whereas in Wilmington, 200 are wanted; not that more money is needed, but each person is asked to venture !cs. It will require $10,000 to properly finance the local club $5, 500 of this, to be used for uniforms, supplies and training expenses, while -the remainder will go to construct a playing field, stands And bleachers. It is true that the baseball canvass Is being made at a time when other financial matters are confronting the citizens, but the amount invested in baseball, with a fair break of luck, should be an Investment rather than a donation. Some clubs in cities smaller than Wilmington earned more than $5,000 clear in a certain Class I league last year and with sreater population here, provided the breaks are not too unkind, there is no reason in the world, local baseball enthusiasts hold, why the earnings, in Wilmington should not be large. The canvassing team will get busy today and it will be a systematic house-to-houSf effort, especially through the business, manufacturing and wholesale sections.. If about 150 men sign up for a share each, then there will certainly .be a repetition of what happened to baseball in Wilming ton last spring. nd board In regard to the fire loss. Mr. Kidder stated, In his opening remarks, that he was glad to see such a large number of ladles present as they had been most active and instrumental in making the social side of the club so successful. He also asserted that the club was a part of the community and any plans made toward rebuilding the club house should carry this idea out. and that a new house should be built that would be a credit to the club as well as to the community. President Kidder reported that the replacement value of the building burned was approximately $25,000. and stated that the board recommended the rebuilding of the club on a larger and better scale. The insurance companies, he said, considered the loss total and would make an immediate settlement on that basis. A very full and general discussion was held, a great number of the mem bers, including the ladies, participating in it. A committee was then ordered appointed by the president to determine y TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT TYPHUS HERE Government Doesn't See Need of Placing Ban On European ' Immigrants WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 Precautions a policy to raise sufficient money to I and steps contemplated are be- finance a new club bouse and to decide ! 1,eved by. federal health authorities to upon a new site, as soon as tnis in- i numim to prevent a gpreno. ui iub riuiupean typhus epidemic to tne unit ed States, Secretary Tumulty tonight formation has been obtained, It was decided, the committee is to report at a special meeting of the club.

Im mediately after the meeting another subscription of $1,000 was offered. It is expected bv club officials that the new building and finance commit tees will have their reoorts readv to submit to the club within a week or 10 days. It was declared last night that the club had not entertained any idea of leaving its property near Delgado. Since the Cape Fear Country club wjs first established, additional realty hold ings have been acquired, making the property the most desirable to be found for club purposes. Then too, it would cost a small fortune, approxi mately $75,000, it is said, to duplicate the splendid golf links at another site. HOUSE COMMITTEE IS FOR 8 PER CENT LAW Sentiment Very Strong for Raising Interest Rate From 6 Per Cent GRAND OPERA MATINEE TODAY IS CALLED OFF Late Arrival of Train Causes Action Night Show Manager George W. Bailey, manager of the Academy of Music, announced last njght that owing to" the late ar rival of the company this afternoon, it had been found necessary to cancel the matinee- scheduled to be given by the New York English Opera company and that only one performance will be given, that tonight. This company will present in Eng lish, Gounod's Immortal opera, "Faust." with the strongest cast of singers that has ever undertaken a tour of the south and one-night stands, headed by Joseph Sheehan and Miss Blanc! Randall. The Charlotte News says of the pres entation at Charlotte: "Discovery of a tenor whose voice has much of the robustness and quality of Caruso's was one of the rewards for the audience which went to the Acad emy in the rain last evening to hear the New York English Opera associa tion sing Gounod's 'Faust.' Mr. Shee han's voice, however, was not the only good one in the company. Miss Bianci Randall was splendid in her role, sing ing with special effort and rare under standing in the famous 'Jewel Song. She is an Alabama girl who Is rapidly making her way to the front." MOOSE FAIR TO GET UNDERWAY ON MONDAY Morning Star Bureau, YarborooKh Hotel, By R. E. rOWEl,L, RALEIGH. Feb. 11.

The leading editorial is on the period of educational growth North Carolina is now enjoying, but the niggardly ex penditures of, the state are compared with those of other states to forcibly bring out the need for better educa tional facilities. Mention la made of those cities and communities in twhich bond issues were recently voted for school purposes on the whole, the editorial covers the field thoroughly. The table giving the attendance in the schools of the city shows that for the month ending January 21, an at tendance record of 88.4 per cent was attained, this being a slump from 91.5 per cent from the previous month.

Sheriff Jackson said that there are three drainage districts in this county, two of which have been completed, and that drainage -district No. 2 had not yet been finished. Drainage district No. 1, or the Win ter Park section, is now on its fourth year, and in six years the bonds is sued to drain ' this section will have been retired.
