CapL Joyner Withdraws from Mayor
alt) Race?Much Interest and the
Best of Keellngs.
What was possibly the most Inter
esting city primary held here In many
years with such good feelings pre
vailing was pulled oft Tuesday. There
was a registration of 285 and a vote of
269 was polled, being one of the
largest percentages of registered
votes ever polled here In a primary.
A clean bill of health was given the
old administration as the entire num
ber were _ reelected. ' Capt. L. L.
Joyner, who was opposing Mr. J. A.
TOirner and Mr. A. O. Dickens for
Mayor withdrew from the race Monday
night and Mayor "Turner was nomin
ated over his opponent, Mr. Dickens,
in a vote of 195 against 70. Tho with
drawal of Joyner from the Mayoralty
race relieved what appeared to be pos
sibly the strongest fight.
The next feature around which the
Interest centered was that of tho vote
for Commissioners. In this box a great
deal of scratching was in evidence all
MAYOR JAMES A. TURNER.
Who was nominated to succeed him
self as Major of Louisburg Tues
day. I
through the day which was possibly
increased by the use of the ticket con
taining tiie names of all nine Can
didates; and the presence of so many
folded tickets, due to the fact that all
the Candidates were good men and no
one wanted to scratch any particular
man, made it impossible for any one
to forecast the result. Even when the
count was more" than half over there
was nothing certain, as to what the
final result Would be. However the vote
stood as follows: Hottge A. Newell 205,
Benjamin N. Williamson 198, Brantley
G. Hicks 192, . George W. Ford 190,
Prank W. Wheless 189, James tf, Allen
187, Malcolm McKinne 161, T. Way
land Watson MO, Arthur Hynes Flem
ing 100. . It will be noticed that Dr.
0. A. NeWell lead the ticket for Com
missioners with Williamson a close
second. The three last named were the
new Candidates and each made a
splendid run and even the result might
have been different if the - Mayoralty
fight had been pursued. -*?
- The old administration has been
doing a good work for (he town and is
composed of men who will continue
t tie same or better. However the new
ones seeking a position on the Board
would have made splendid officials and
would have looked after the town's
affairs in a business like manner, as
they were among our most popular
and leading citizens. . .
ON THE DIAMOND
To Play Wakelon High ffehool Monday.
Quite a little interest is being mani
fested in baseball in Loulsburg, ah d
the local fanB may feel sure that they
wtll be well paid for the time they
spend in encouraging the boys as they
are Improving with every game and
lyill no doubt develop into a team that
Vill fear none and play any In a short
while, as the greatest need at present
is team work.
The game on last Thursday eydrfng
between Louisburg and Waj?' Forest
was a splendid one and .up until the
seventh inning was eqaii to a profes
sional Rame, as until this time there
had been onlyjhree Bcores made by the
visitors ami-two by the local team. At
this tiro?, however, our boys became
(iiscoaraged at several costly errors,
due entirely to lack of such practice
as would cause the boys to play
together, and the gatne weht to pieces:
The score at the wind-up "stood 15 to
3 in favor of the visitors. Herndon
arid Taylor for the visitors did some
good work and received splendid sup
port .from the entire team, while Allen
and Weaver for the home team did
splendid work, but owing to the lack
of team practice failed to get the
necessary support. Itwaseasll^seen
that If oor toys ttd been ta good team
practloe they would have been frilly
equal, If not more so, to their oppon
ents and would have made them play
for the game or not gotten It
With Frankllnton.
M6nday afternoon the local baseball,
team won against Frankllnton by a
score of 9 to ?. Since the game with
Wake Forest tHe player? hare been
working hard, and as a result did some
splendid work In the field and at the
bat Mr. James Malone and Mr. C. C.
Julian were In the game for the first
time and showed up well. The game
only lasted five Innings on account of
the delay of getting started, but the
result would probably have been the
same had the full nine innings been
played. This makes the third game
with Prankllnton this season, and
Louisburg has won two of ttie three.
In thi? game Alley could not stand
the pressure of our boys ?and he was
replaced by Speed, while Cooke held
the post behind the bat for the visitors.
Julian and Weaver did good work for
the locals and showed indications of
developing Into a strong battery. The
game was an enjoyable one and we
hope to see many more between our
neighbors and ourselves and that each
of us may develop teams equal to the
support of our townspeople.
/The Louisburg boys went over to
New Hope for a game Wednesday.
It is hoped that we will be able to
secure a return , game with New" Hope
today. j
A great deal of interest is already
centering around the engagement for
a game to take place on the local dia
mond on Monday between Wakelon
High school and the local team. The
Wakelon boys have a reputation that
is especially flattering to their skill in
the game and our boys are determined
to redeem. themselves against teams
of such reputations. Therefore the
lovers of baseball may expect to see a
pitch battle on the -local diamond
Monday. Oo out.
The new baseball suits have arrived
and will be seen at the next game.
This together with the good playing
done lately by the team should create
more enthusiasm among the local fajis
for the rest of the season. Louisburg
expects to have the best amateur team
in the State and will if everybody
gives it the support that it has had in
the past.
A Pleanaht Trip.
Supt. W. R. Mills, Misse3 -^Onnie
Tucker, Beulali Cyrus, Lillie Mae
Aycock and Messrs. Edward Webb and
Will Collie left by automobile on
April 8th for Chapel Hill, where
Misses Aycock and Cyrus, and Messrs^
Collie' and Webb, were to enter the
annual debating contest for the
Aycock Memorial Cup.
On, arriving in Cliapel Hill Miss
Tucker went t<5 the home of Pres.
Edward K. Graham, Misses Aycock
and Cyrus to the home of Dr. W. D.
Toy where they were charmingly en
tertained during their str.y at the
University.
Messrs. Collie and Webb, spent the
time very pleasantly with Mr. Graham
Egerton, their townsman, who^s _a_
student at the University. 4
Supt. W. R. Mills went to the hotel
where he and dozens of others Super
intendents "talk shop" and communed
with kindred spirits.
the first round of preliminaries
the contest jpas narrowed down to
twelve teams, six on the affirmative,
and six on the negative.
It was a great compliment to Misses
Aycock and Cyrus that they were
chosen from such large numbers to be
among the winning six.
This gave them the right to the
second preliminary and tiiey upheld
the ajllrmatlve of the query, "Resolved
that the United States should adopt
the policy of subsidizing Its Merchant
Marine engaged In foreign trade." ? -
In this preliminary the Louisburg
debaters were pitted against the sec
ond of HUlsboro, Lincolnton, Lowell,
Falling Creek, Almound and Jelferson.
Louisburg and Lincolnton were
selected as the best teams from their
section and Misses Aycock and Cyrus
were again chosen to represent their
school In the final preliminary.
This was an honor far .these young
ladies, and for the-Fchool and town
that they ably Represented.
One of the striking features of this
debate was the numbers of girls*
among the debaters.
Of the forty-eight debaters qualify'
ing for the second preliminary, tjwrfvo
were girls, Louisburg, . Ltaeolnton,
Mantoo and Wilson all being represen
ted by girls.
Louisburg Is proudof the part her
girls played onWris occasion and fully

ing. ?
The 100 yard dash was run by
Aloneous Hlnton and Clyde Moody, of
Bunn, and Will Collie, Aubrey Wad
deli and E. Webb, of Louisburg, with
Hlnton winning in the flrst heat and
Moody in the second, the tie not being
run off. The same run for the smaller
boys was run by Hill Yarborough and
Warren Holllngsworth, for Loulsburg,
Bernard Stallings, for Justice, William
Boone, for .Cedar Rock, Willie May,
for Prospect, Forrest Smith, for Moul
ton. This also resulted in a tie which
was not run off with Stallings and
Boone winning firsthand Loulsburg
second in both heats. The Broad Jump
was won by ^Ilnton, of Bunn, with a
record of 17 feet 3 1-2 Inches, while
Waddell, for Loulsburg, made second
with 17 feet 1-2 inch. In this fea
ture Williams for tioulsburg lost by
falling back, which if he had preven
ted he would have cleared 17 feet 9
Inches. The Broad Jump for the small

both of Loulsburg. The-balf mile re
lay race was won by Louisb'urg. This
gives to Louisburg 41 points and Bunn
26, making Louisburg winner of ?the
percentages. The prizes were alt
awarded as announced and the crowds
repaired to the Farmers' Union Ware
house, where a same of basket ball
was played "between Franklinton and
Ingleside to determinate the cham
pionship of the county. The line up
in this game was as follows:
Franklinton Ingleside
Right Forward
C. Kearney .. .. Ellington
Left Forward
High ,. .. .. Johnson
Center/
Winston Scruggs
Right Guard
Whitaker Edwards
Left Guard
D. Kearney Hayes
This was a hotly contested game and
was therefore especially interesting
until about the middle of the second
half, when Ingleside refused to finish
the game on account of a decision of
the referee, which of course forfeited
the game to Franklinton. However at
the time of the forfeit the score stood
11 and 9 in favor of Franklinton.
This being over th^jirowd again
returned to the ball park to witness a
game of ball between Louisburg and
Franklinton.
It was a most enjoyable occasion tor
all.

NJght The End Came; All the Mem
Jjjjs of the Immediate Family With
Him Except Daughter and She Will
Arrive Today; Death Heralded
From Many Lips; Funeral Monday
, Afternoon.
Colonel Alexander Boyd Andrews,
first vice-president of the Southern
Railway, one of Raleigh's best known
and most Influential citizens and
prominent In railroad circles in the
whole South, died of pneumonia last
night at 9:17 o'clock at his residence,
407 North Blount street. He was in
his seventy-fourth year.
Col. Andrews' Illness was very brief,
he was down town both morning ana
evening Friday. A part of his left
lung was shot away In the war and
pneumonia developing yesterday
morning in his right lung, it was seen
that it would be a hard flght for him
to rally. He sustained a heart attack
twelve years ago and after that time
was compelled to guard his health
very carefully.
Seized With Chill. 3
Eor several days paat Col. Andrews
had been suffering with a very severe
cold. Friday night between ten and
eleven o'clock he was taken with a
severe chill. Physicians were
summoned and were up with him a
good part of the night. Saturday
morning the chill Ahd developed into
an acute attack of pneumonia and it
was apparent that he was quite a sick
man though there was strong hope
that he would rally and it was not felt
that his cbndition was necessarily
critical. At noon he seemed__to be
breathing a good deal better. Later
in the afternoon his condition grew
unfavorable again and at 5:30 o'clock
his children who with the improve
ment in his symptoms had felt war
ranted in going to their homes or
places of business were called to the
Andrews home.
Kallies Agaliu
Again shortly .after seven o'clock
then v as a rally and the aged patient
was sitting out on the veranda. At
nine o'clock members of the family
wer. expressing satisfaction at his
condition and giving voice to the
belief that the worst of the attack
was over and that restoration to
health Would soon result. ?
Passes Without Struggle.
A little after nine, however, one of
the physicians came into the room
where members of. the family and
friends were waiting and summoned
them to the beds(de. In about five
minutes Col. Andrews passed away,
death coming without a struggle.
News of the death of the well
known railroad man and citizen of
Raleigh and the State caused a pro
found impression. For many years
his portly forip had . been a familiar
figure and the open carriage drawn
by the white horses was one of tpf
show sights of the town. Everybody
knexv/Col. Andrews and a gr^af many
felt a sense of personal Leka wtien It
was known that death^had claimed
him.
Funeral Probably Monday.
Arrangements for the funeral hud
not beej/completed last night. It is
prob^My, however, that the obsequies
wttl not take place until Monday
?afternoon. Prominent officials of the
Southern and other railroads will be
in attendance.
Col. Andrews married Miss Julia M.
Johnson, daughter of Col. William
J. Johnson, of Charlotte, September
1, 1869. Mrs. Andrews and five chil
dren survive, the children being
Messrs. W. J. Andrews, A. U.
Andrews, Jr., John H. Andrews and
Graham Andrews, of Raleigh, and
Mrs. W. M. Marks, of Montgomery,
Ala. All of the children were present
when the end came with the exception
of Mrs. Marks, who Is expected to ar
rive on the noon train today. There
are also three sisters and a brother?
-Airs. Thomas H. Haughton. of Char
lotte. Mrs. W. J. Robards, of Hender
son; Mrs. John Wilder Atkinson, of
Wilmington, and Mr. Phil H. Andrews
of Kalelgh. He also is survived by an
uncle. Dr. A. B. Hawkins, of Raleigh.
Col. Andrews was an uncle of our
townsman, Mr. A. A. Clifton, and had
many relatives and friends In Frank
lin county, who will learn of his death
with much regret.
In speaking of Col. Andrews the
News and Observer said editorially:
"Approaching seventy-four years of
age. his health such as seemingly to
promise many more years of life, there
cfeme at an early hour last night the
sudden summons to cross the river to
Col. Alexander Boyd Andrews, a man
whose life has been identified with
the progress of North Carolina,.a man
whose sudden taking off will come as
a shock to a great host of friends.
"Born in Fr^iklin county in 1841,
entering the Confederate army at the
outbreaw of the War Between the
States returning from It With the rink
of captain and with wounds received on
the field of battle, he entered Into the
railroad work and became a factor In
the railroad and banking Ufe of the
State. Ffrst with the Raleigh and
Gaston Railway as superintendent, he
rose from official position to official
position and in 1895 became the flrat
vice-president of the Southern hall
way. a position which he has held
since. In the organisation of the
present Citizens National Bank In 1871
he became a director and has been Its
vtctf-president since 1890.
''Col. Andrews was perhaps first
among the constructive captains of in
dustry in North Carolina, his part as
leader of the movement which caused
the building of the Western North
Carolina Railroad being such as to
give opportunity for development to
the great West of this State. He was
deeply interested In education and as
f. member of the executive committee
of the University of North Carolina he
rendered service to his State. A Con
federate veteran, he kept close to his
heart the men of the gray, and was
a director of the Confederate Soldier's
Home. President of many railroads
connected with the Southern and in
terested in many other enterprises In
the State,he was a cjilzen whose life
has been one of service In the State's
upbuilding.
"Col. Andrews was a man who loved
his home, and the circle at his fireside
was one of cheer, broken now by the
passing away of the one who was its
guiding spirl.t As boy and man, us
citizen and soldier, as railroad builder
and as factor In business life, as hus
mand and father/he had established
high place In North Carolina. His
going away will bring grief to many,
and the deepest sympathy of a host of
friends goes out to the. home that Is
bereft in his deatn."
Missionary Meeting.
The Woman's Missionary Society
met in the reception room of the
Methodist church Monday afternoon
for their monthly literary meeting.
In the absence of the president, the
service was conducted by Mrs. J. A.
Turner. After the devotional exer
cises, an interesting program was
given on "China," and '"The Cities."
Mrs. Hodges gave two splendid selec
tions on China and Mrs. W- E. White,
a most helpful and instructive reading
on "The Cities our Opportunity," Mrs.
S. J. Parham presented Christian
Stewardship, in a forceful, and heart
reaching selection, and the general
discussion which followed showed how
our women were beconiing deeply in
terested in this feature of our work.
Mrs. Turner gave in a few words the
greatest need of each foreign mission
field followed by a prayer that our
Father would send each country its
great desire, and a determination on
our part to do all in our power by
gifts and prayer to relieve these needs.
At the conolusion of the program, a
few business items came up, and were
settled. Because of a vacancy it was
necessary to elect a 2nd Vice-president
to take charge of the children's work.
Mrs. Ernest Furgurson was unamln
ously elected. A 'new book for tluy
Study Circle work was selectedj^afid
by general consent, "The ChiljHn the
Midst" was decided on. j&tfr study

Newark, N. J.?Mrs. Louis R. Pat
mont. wife of "Rev." Patmont who was
arrested here last week charged with
setting fire to a church, according to
the News of this city, confessed to
the following points; that Patmont is

Newton street home; that It was her
money that educated him; that be told
