Edenton Aces Drop Game To Greenville Fumbles By Eden -1 ton Boys Prove Costly Coach George Thompson’s Edenton Aces on Friday night dropped their second football game of the season when Greenville won by a score of 6-0. Fumbles by the Aces contri buted more than anything else in their downfall. The Aces fumbled mute ! times, recovering only once and a few of the bobbles were made when with in striking distance of a touchdown. The two teams played on about even terms, but on the first play in | the second quarter Greenville’s Bobby Perry grabbed a pitch-out from Bob by Langston to race 52 yards for the only score of the game. Perry ran around right end and apparently he was trapped near the line of scrim mage, but he wiggled out and with perfect interference he outran all of the pursuing Aces. The try for extra point failed. The visitors also threatened to score twice in the first quarter, one time reaching the Eden ton six-yard line. The game for the most part was played in Edenton territory with Mi lan Stilley chalking up the longest run for the Aces. IStilley ripped off 17 yards on an end run and appeared to be heading for a clear field when he was overtaken from behind. On defense for the Aces Bill Hardi son, Al Owens, Lynn Boswell and Ted Lassiter looked best. Lieut. Morris Griffin Awarded Silver Wings As Jet Fighter Pilot Lieutenant Morris T.

Woman's Club Plans Active Drive To Get Out Election Vote A [_Fair ExplanationJ Due to some misunderstanding about exhibits at the Chowan County Fair last year, the Cho wan County Fair Association early this week issued a state ment that any person who oper ates a farm in Chowan County is eligible to have entries in the fair and compete for prize money.

A great deal < of interest centers on this game, for s on paper the two teams are pretty a evenly matched. ] Both the Aces and Yellow Jackets 1 have played and were defeated byj just about the same scores by Golds- < boro. In the opening game Goldsboro 1 defeated the Aces 19-6, and on Fri- 1 day of last week the Yellow Jackets! fell prey to the same outfit by a score t of 20-6. i 1 Tt is rather coincidental, too, that * both the Aces and Yellow Jackets ] held the lead 6-0 until the third quar-j ter, when Goldsboro scored 19 points ! against Edenton -J.id 20 poults against Elizabeth City. | 1 The Yellow Jackets have a wide', margin of victories over the Aces in their long gridiron rivalry, but Coach- | es George Thompson and Ben Perry are of the opinion that the Aces have a good chance this year to add a notch on the victory page of the Aces. At any rate the Aces’ squad is being tak en through hard practice sessions in preparation for the game, and the same is no doubt true in the Yellow | 'Jackets’ camp. Due to the keen rivalry between the ! I two schools, a large number of Eden-j ton fans are expected to accompany ■ the Aces to Elizabeth City for the ' game. i' New Juvenile Books Received By Library Series Covers Lives of Famous Americans j From Early Days Mrs. Duncan Wales, Librarian of 1 the Shepard-iPruden Library, wishes to call attention to the recent acquisi- ' tion of an outstanding group of juv enile books at the library and recently made available to Edenton’s young readers. ‘ Published by (Bobbs-Merrill and ! bearing the overall title of “Child- ! hood of Famous Americans,*’ the ser ies consists of 34 volumes, and covers ■ the boyhood and early life of many famous Americans from .Colonial days ( to the present.

Elliott SpeakerAt Rotary Presents Very Interest ing Talk on Edenton Cotton Mills Richard Elliott was the principal speaker at last week’s Rotary meet ing, when he presented a very inter esting talk on the Edenton Cotton Mills. t The plant, financed entirely by local capital, started with only 5,000 spin dles, Mr. Elliott said, and now there are 21,000 spindles. At the outset the company owned only five houses in the Cotton Mill Village, where now there are 75 houses to help accommo date the 240 employees. It was hard sledding at first, Mr. Elliott told the Rotarians, but in 1902 the concern began to show progress, which has been the case ever since. He told about the early difficulties, one of which was finding a site, and finally deciding on the Ropewalk property. The name, Mr. Elliott said, was attributed to a ropewalk in order to cross a stream of water. Os the original group of stock holders only one is still living, he be ing George F. Folk. Since its organi zation there have been only three presidents, Frank Wood and H. G. Wood, both deceased, and John G. Wood, at present, president, i The Edenton Cotton Mill is the sec ond oldest organization, being led only by The Bank of Edenton. At the conclusion of Mr. Elliott’s remarks the Rotarians asked quite a few questions relative to the cotton mill and its operation.
