hopelessly Insane ant! careful
ly guarded. All these celebratloni
are merely a matter of form and in
accordance wltte monarchical tradl
tlous. The Bavarians care hut tilth
for their king, whom many nevei
have seen. He was Insane when he

after the death of his brother Ludwlg
II., who had been deposed on ac
count of his madneee and drowne<
himself in 8tarnbetg Lake two day

IS KRESSIVB
The First National Bank, known
as aahington's largest bank, published
its regular quarterly statement

is one which the managers no doubt'
should feel proud of. This institution

capital Btock over $50,000. The deposit*
of this bank up to the time of

April .1911 were $179,856.00; yesterday's
statement showed $268,408
05. This is an increase over 1911 of
$88,552.05. These statements shownot
only a rapid growth of the bank
but they are an index to the growth
and developnient of the city and
county. What better indication of
progress can be presented than the
financial showing of the banks.
Since its organfxation the First
National has paid its y.tockholdera
$85,600.00 in dividends and now- has
a surplus of $50,000.44 with $5,487

Fresli from a victory of 3 to 1
over New Hern Thursday the Eliza- ;

at the hands of the local High School
at Fleming Park yesterday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. Friday two weeks ago
the home boys defeated Elizabeth
City on her home diamond by the
dose score of 2 to 2. Yesterday's
results were ei to 3.
The game was not one sided-.
There were only two weak innings 1
in the game. The playing was fast
and furious. For the first six innings
the game was*ui;ust:al1y fought ?]H
but toward the last it loosened up
some and the score was plied tip. *
Hooper at first starred for Elizabeth
City taking easily some vr ry
hard chances. Hughes weakened at
tinies in the box. but Washington
was never able to. bunch h*r hits
on him. Weatherley's three-bagger
WaffhV*prettiest Tift seen on till? local
grounds this season.
For Washington Weston, E. stole
bases at will and twice beat out
scratch hits. Captain Gibbs made
two safe hits in live times up. Few!*
made a clear two-bagger driving In
Gibbs and Duckman ahead or him.
Mitchell's work at third was good.
The one bright star .of the whole
game was Shelton of Washington.
[For Beven innings he held Elizabeth
City hitless and he allowed only two
hits throughout the game In the
cine innings he struck out twelve
men, fanning every man on the vis
ting team except two. Only onre in
the game was he threatened and he
was master of the situation then.
This was the fifth game of the
season and Washington has nut. yet . jw
suffered defeat. ?
Messrs. F. C. Kugler, P. P. Maxwell
and Harry Kear umpired the
game and gave satisfaction In fact
there was not a protest during the ^
game.
A good sized crowd attended and
cheered the boys to victory. Many
ladies were present.
The line-ups were as follows:
