WING CANDIDACY Says His Hope Is To Wipe Out Fac tions in The Party in North Caro lina. Attorney General T. W. Bickett was Been in his office on Saturday even ing. He had just returned from Meek lenburg and Union counties, where he had been spending several days. Upon being asked about the gubernatorial situation Mr. Bickett said that he was deeply gratified at the warm and gen erous support he was receiving in every section of the State. Hp th^n added that he would like to give out the following interview: "I deplore the persistent efforts made by sundry^ndividuals to per petuate factional lines In the Demo cratic party. On account of the Euro pean war conditions have arisen which the Republican organization is seeking to convert Into political capital. It Is plotting to inject into the minds of the people the insidious suggestion that the Democratic party is in sime vague way responsible for the conditions brought on by the most colossal war ln._t.lie world's history. In the face of this movement it be hooves all good men who love justice and who are at all capable of ap preciating that man, sent straight from God to guide this nation in a perilous hour, to bury all personal differences and rally to the colors. "I want to say with all the emplia f-is that I can command that as a can cidate for the Democratic nomination for-Governor I am not running as the champion or exponent of any wing, faction or division of the Democratic party, biU my hope and relianc^ie to wipe oirfall factional lines, wera to gether every discordant clement in the party, and present a united front to the common foe. That foe is even now girding himself for the coming conflict. As surely as the sun rises unity leads straight to victory ; as surely as the sun sets, division spells disaster. In this crucial hour I call on every Democrat in North Carolina to harken to the immortal words ot the immortal Aycock. "The Doones' are In the valley! I pray you, gentlemen, train your Runs little lower." ^-Announcement Party. On Wednesday afternoon of last week Miss Annie L.

Tbe Prettiest Game Played Here la Several Years?Witnessed by 111? Crowd?Everything Pleasant?Good Playing. Possibly the prettiest game of base ball that has been played on t,he local diamond hero in several years was the first ot a series of games with Roanoke Rapids on Tuesday, when Louis burg was victorious In a score of 4 and'3 In the tenth Inning. The game was an especially pretty one, everything being pulled off smoothly and in the best of feelings, with only a very few errors and a lot of good ball playing. The. two teams were evenly matched as the score indicates and the visitors did some fine work, especially' their battery. The main feature for the home boys was the fine work of the battery, Messrs. Allen and Hart and the con trol of their hits, Roanoke Rapids got three hits while Louisburg got eight, three of which were two-baggers. There was only one score made in the first seven innings and that was cap tured by the home boys In the sec ond. In the eighth the visitors took over three runs and succeeded in shutting out the home boys. In the ninth the home team shut out their opponents and succeeded In tlelng the score, which made the tenth inning necessary. With everybody on their .feet and almost frantic with lnterst the tenth Inning was begun. The visitor? sent up their men and they were so~cm^retired without adding to their former -score. Then the home boys had another show and made good use of it when^ after one man was out and three men on bases Jul ian made a drive through second that scored the winning rail. The^ game was a fine one and was witnessed hv about 150 people. Mr. M. McKlnne umpired the game . The line up and score by Innings was as follows: Roanoke Rapids? l ouisburg? Grimm?-, lb Holden, lb Rivers, ss ,. Carlisle, S3 Smith, 2b .. .. Hale, 2b Thomason 3b Kearney, 3b Kelly, If .. Julian If. Speed, ct 0 Ruffln, cf. Purcell, c. .. Hart, c. Brown, rf Weaver, rf. Pace, p Allen, p. Score by Innings: Roanoke Rapids 000 000 030 0?3 Louisburg 010 000 002 1?4 Cherry relieved Speed for the visitors and Paul and Aycock wore listed as substitutes for the home team. " The game Wednesday was anything except a good game. The visitors star ted off all right in the first Inning but soon lost their cue and fell complete ly, while Louisburg took advantage of the situation, ana proceeded to pile up the scores. Louisburg entered the game with a feeling of uneasiness as they learned they would have to go up against Rivers as pitcher, whose reputation as a league player Is fine, but the boys soon round they could bat him about as easy, if not moro ?so than some others and proceeded to make all the hits necessary. The score was 16 and 7 at the end In Loulsburg's favor: This being a hit and run game there were no real features of any nota. Quite a good crowd witnessed the game and everything went off smoothly.
