Charles Noe Popular 5 Young
Man of Beaufort Killed By
- Pitched Ball
That tragedy ; sometimes '" treads
closely upon the heels of comedy was
clearly shown Monday afternoon on
the baseball field here when Charley
Noe lost his life while playing in a
game btweeti two teams known " as
."The Fats" and. Tbe. Leans." ' This
: game which was gotten., up for the
purpose of raising funds for the reg
ular baseball dub and ,to ' furnish
amusement to the spectators proved
, to be, " an " entertaining J farce ; until
death came suddenly and changed a
laughing crowd into -a group . of
shocked and saddened individuals.- :"'
, , The distressing accident occurred
in the seventh inning. Charley, Noe
who " was playing with the "Leans",
, had, played with " great , eal all
through the game. -. When he came
"to the bat in the seventh he was very
hot and prqbabTy considerably ex
hausted by such unaccustomed, exerr
',clse. ' He ancT G.' W, Duncan 'who
was also playing, had a short argu
, ment as to' whose time it was to !at
Duncan yielded and Noe went to the
batv "One or two balls were pitched
by John Pake -who was in the pitch
er's "box at the time, and then the
fatal ball was thrown which-hit the
; unfortunate young man. in his left
breast apparently over the r heart.
He ran to first bate in spite of the
hit and fell there unconscious. Ev-
itrj, effort waa- made to revive him
and Dr. C L Duncan who was pres-
i ent did what he could for him, - The
stricken man was carried Into the
upper part of the grand stand in the
hope that th wind would refresh

' end cam. - - '. . '

Senator Norris "' Says Money
Owed By Allies Should Ee
Used for "This Purpose,
WASHINGTON, . July 26. As
finally enacted into law, the Naval
Appropriation ' Bill carried no pro
vision for the construction of air
plane carriers, t The Senate had in
serted an., amndment making appro
priations for two such 1 vessels, but
the item was stricken out in the con
frence between the two Houses.
Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash
ington, who had charge of the naval
bill in the Senate, has announced that
he will soon introduce a separate
measure providing for the airplane
carriers. He has been led to believe
from the disposition manifested ' by
the House conferees that an agree
ment can be reached to build at least
one such ship. . There has been some
criticism of the Navy that ..sufficient
attention was not being given to the
devlopmeht of - its air ' service. Mr.
Poindexter' is. convinced that our na
val "defense will . be-, far- inferior to
that of other nations unless the air
plane feature is given a prominent
part therein, a policy that requires
special vessels upon which the planes
can land. - ' V"."";.1 ' -!

Clerk of the Superior Court Ken-'
neth'J. Respess died at his home In ;'
Beaufort at about six o'clock Friday ' V
morning after an illness? that had "
lasted for several weeks. The death
of Judge Respess while a shock to his
frinds was not altogether unexpected
For somejmonths it has been known.."
that he had a srious form of heart' -
trouble and other complications and-
that while he might live for several. .
months or even,, longer the chances' :"V
were' that he would not do so." : '
Judge" Rcpess was elected Clerk"
of the Superior court here in 1918'
in a very close contest where the'J .
county offices were about equally di
vided between Republicans and Deni'-V,
ocrats. His success was due to his(.
popularity with the voters ol the1,;
county which was sufficient to oVer-;t'
come a strong opposition that 'de-:
sated several other Republican can-,-'
didates. . If he had lived until next. '
year Judge Respess would probably rr
have been a candidate for reelection ' t
and his friends think he would have
won undoubtedly.. Under the law . -which
makes Clerks of the Superior;
Court Juvenile Judge he held that
office and always displayed a sincere ,'4
desire to do that which was fair and '
honest and for the best interests of r
th child.
Judge Respess was born in Beau-' .
fort county and was sixty four years (.' '
of age. He was the son of the" late ;
John B. Respss of that county, who
was a prominent Rpublican politician
and regarded as one of th best de- r
haters on th stump of eastern North" .
Carolina. ' Judge Respess himself
was alwsys dewply Interested in polU ; -tics
and took an active part la the :
campaign in th county last year. .' "
He was not a bitter partisan though
and his likable qualities mad him ,
many friends among those who wer .
kind hearted, affable sort of a man
not of his political faith. He was a
who lovd to Joke others snd knew ,
how to take a Joke himself.. People ;
who went to the courthouse liked to1
drop la his office for a chat and his
friendly presence will b missed there'
for a long time. .
