For a number of years Mr. McCoy was employed in the internal revenue sen-ice in this and other states; a few years ago he resigned from the work and has resided here since.

In the afternoon Mr. Holton again stroked the point of insufficiency In the bill of indictment as probable cause. This document tne commis sioner had admitted as evidence sub Ject to rebuttal.

Mr. Pritchard argued that If tha nwmment had other strong evidence against the defendants It would have Introduced it. He compared Graham tibIb and William Trcutman to cop perhead snakes. He said that Lonon had befriended J'aie wnen iuu . friendless boy; nr.d now, with a gov ernment halter around his neck, he had Joined a conspiracy to destroy his benefactor in order that he himself might go free.

The moral that cheap insurance me; be merely "cheap" Insurance Is point ed in the case of a coal owners' mu tual employers' liability company la Illinois, which has gone into the hands of a receiver. This mutual avoided serious colliery disasters, merely be, coming responsible for losses Incurr ed In the course of normal operation. However, the members are now trying to get out of paying their obligations. The officers did their best to enforce collections, but finally decided to liquidate before additional losses were Incurred. Prolonged litigation Is as sured, and If the creditors get any of their money they will probably have to sue the individual members, with all the handicaps' and expenses ot liti gation and legal delays.

G. Bramham, of Durham; George Wearn ot Charlotte and L. J. Brandt, of Greensboro. In many respects it Is one ot tho best playing arrangements ever drawn for the compact North Carolina circuit; good because the mileage Is uniformly even as well as becauser the number of games to be played by each team is about the same, the difference of one or two being caused by the location of the city represented. The achedule was adopted, without a change by a mail voto from the presidents of all six clubs to the president of the league. Provision has been made forr a post season series with the pennant winner in tho Virginia league and ie oently adopted rules by the two or ganizations specify that each team shall be composed during the after season series as it was during tho pennant race in the league it repre sents. In other words, no players from other teams can be used. The schedule of the two leagues will be completed at about the same time, September 4, and It Is quite likely that the post-season struggle will be started either September 7 or 11, not later than the latter date, for the sec tion ot the constitution of th North Carolina league will not permit the serason being started more than one week after th close of the cham- ponshlp race. All details tor the series must be completed not later than July 1 and tha rules governing th world's series will prevail. Borne few statistics not contained In the schedule but which r In teresting to all fans, are: Saturday games at home: Charlotte 10; 'winaon-Salem 10; Durham 10; Greensboro : Asheville ; Raleigh .
