The superb twirling of ? Ward's choice for tho opener combin ed with the aggressive ^ptay" ~~of fiTsT tean>-Tnates gave the Capitals a 2-0 victory in the curtain-raiser of the season at Durham. The Capitals surprised their closest followers, but ere the game had pro gressed very far Raleigh fans in the park began to sit up and take notice. Viewing the stiff defense of the Ward men bucked up by timely hitting and a determination to reiturirAtiuu a win ner, two thousand or more spectators left the field with nothing Tjut praise for the splendid showing of- the vic torfli UTn^/l'a nFflir they got in the way of runs and even went so far as to waste two good chances to add other markers. They delivered, however, and the bad plays will be overlooked. I? woo ? i-aca nt tru\ mtifh pitching for the Bulls. They could not touch Allen's slants and found the Louisburg bearcat was a^ terror with runners on I the paths. A pretty assortment of of 1 ferings had the losers guessing thro ughout. Allen not only allowed but three hits, but fanned an even dozen BafteWt He allcftved only Cfivc -men to rcach first. One diett on third, three were stranded on second and tho oth er got no further than first base. In the third frame Atkinson singled, was "s&crlriced to second and reached third On an infield out. Jn the fifth Dayton doubled to right and died . on second when Allen fanned the next three men up. In the eighth Fry doubled to the left fence and he. too, died on second when two men* fanned and the third batter hit weakly to Mcivell. "It was three up and three down in the ninth when the Bull's heavy artillery loom ed up dangerously. GOES TO ANDERSON, S. His many friends in Louisburg and Franklin County will learn with much regret that Mr. H. G. McBrayer will leave Louisburg and make his future home in Anderson, S. C. Mr. Mc Brayer informs the TIMES that he has a splendid business proposition offer ed him at that place and he goes to take charge of a large gents furnish ing business. He left Tuesday to take up his duties there and his wife and family will probably leave the next week. Coming to Louisburg the first of 1917 and entering into a business that proved a credit to the town until the reconstruction embarrassed it early this year, Mr. McBrayer thhrough his courtesy and pleasant business man ner made many friends in our county among the men. as did his wife like wise among the ladles, who will re gret to know that they have decided to cast their lot in another commun ity, but extend to them the best wish es it is possible to transfer.

The ma&A meeting held at the Court House last Friday night for the di9- j cu salon of thfe proposed, bond Issue to j provide a new graded school build- ' tag well attemU 4 hut it. is to be regretted tnat every ciiiacc fit Graded School District >as not pres ent. It is so easy for erroneous im pr-."i'in!! to get ubroaa n l .n ar. li.ue of this kind arises that it is well tJ have these "Family Gatherings" where | 'evr7>jTiHn and woman ca?4+?ten to- and.. enter into a frank and free diopui'Bipu? 1 Mr. K. H. Malone, who prrsided, TTT stating object o t tk^mgpyinff ed. attention to tlie fact that the issue raised was one in which every -good trttmm should feel an interest and in cited all present to take part in the discussion and ask such questions as nllght suggest themselves. The dis cussion was general and, at times, -heater!. hot durThg tTTe ~ dlscusslo n all questions seemed to be eliminated ex cept the question of whether or not now is the proper time to issue the ?bonds- necessary to- erect -the- new bu ilding. The following specific ques tions were discussed: ^ 1. What is the present indebtedness of the Graded School? _In answer to this it was shown by the treasurer th aj the total bonded debt of the graded school was $20,000.00 and under the tax now levied a sinking Fund is pro vided which now amounts to about $6,300.00 and. with normal accumula tion. will be sufficient to take care of I when it becomes due. | 2. Do we need a new school build ing? [?-?Hi answer to this question it was py plained by those mpst familiar with .the school conditions that, even if we desire to carry on ih?t,?uBie class work [now done, .the present^ buildings are | to do standard high school work and \ give our boys and girls the ad van tag - an additional building will be abso ' hitoh- i t>> pt*r f i vp :n Imp* ro.tni ; space nwkes it difficult to earn* or. [the present course of study anil im possible to hare the additional class ics that a standard and tip-io-dtrte High School course demands. In addition ;tn the need for -more snare it was : shown that the present sanitary ar ; rangements are bad. the heating ar rangement i mid equate and the light ing arrangement such as to jeopard ize the health of the children, j :i. Is the need of a larger Tbutl ding ?Clue to the enlargement of the district. fand the fact that children from other | districts u.re peimitted to attend tin* | It was explained that while the in creased enrollment caused by the en Hargeouiiil of the distrirr and, the at f tendance of children from other dis tricts made the need of a larger build hng -somewhat more acute, the effeet ! was almost negligible as -the coming of these additional pupils created no lYiew classes, such additional attend ance simply enlarging the old classes The most .urgent need being the need -not for larger class rooms only but for more and better equipped class rooms. For instance the present class i rooms will_h&ld all of the children but I in order to carry on the class work I several classes must study in the I same room in which other classes must recite and at the present time ? they are using class roo-ns which are I entirely unsuited for either class room work or study. 4. Does the enlargement of the dis trict and the fact that some children from outside districts are permitted to attend increase the burden on the original Graded School District? It was explained that the enlarge ment of the district and the attendan ce of some children from outside dis tricts instead of increasing the burden of citizens' of the -original Graded School District would lessen that bur den and at' the sama time increase the facilities of the Graced School giving better educational advantages to the children coming in from the enlarged district and the outside ? as well as to the- children Of the original Graded School District. 5. Is it necessary to issue bonds for $100,000.00 or expend that amount for the new building? It was explained that the law author izlng the election does not provide that bonds for $100,000.00 shall be issued but that bonds not to exceed $100,000.00 may be issued. Until an architect can be employed and plans drawn and selected and bids submitted for the erection of the building, it can not be stated definitely what Che cost of a new building will be or what amounnt of bonds it will actually b* necessary to issue, but in any event the tax to be levied can not exceed 20 cents on the ?100.00 property valuation and 60 cents tn the poll. In this connection it was suggested by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, with the consent and Agreement of a majority of the members of that body, that ft Qptnmit tee of six representative citizens of the district be selected by the mass meeting, such a committee to co-oper ate with and advise the Hoard of Trus tees, In regard to the amount of bonda to be issued, the site for, kind and character of the new building, altera tions necessary to be made In the old building; (nobody ever contemplated tearing down the present (traded sch ool building) and the awarding of con Iract for new building. In other words such a committee with the Hoard of Trustees to constitute a Building Com mittee. After some discussion It was rleckled to bold a mass meeting at THRATBHAL SESSATIOX.
