The Woman's Betterment Associa tion of Lenoir has done much toward beautifying the town and making it cleaner and more sanitary. For sever al weeks the ladies have kept a man at work on the streets, cleaning up the trash and disposing of it. Their good work on the cemetery has made it a most attractive spot. In their unsel fish work for the public good the la dies deserve the help and co-operation f every one. UCA1 LEAGUE For the third or fourth time the WTinston Sentinel sobs: "Raleigh con fesses that she has violated the law by playing more than four higher class men. How about Durham and Char lotte? Let's have the facts." And therein lies a truth that by getting the other clubs hollering at one that is not guilty they keep them away from home where it would do some dam age. The figures are at hand. Here they are: Neither ' Charlotte nor Durham nor Asheville nor Greensboro have more than three Class C men but WINSTON and Raleigh have. Raleigh admits it. The Winston sports writers are attempting to cover up the fact that Winston has by keeping tne atten tion fixed on the other person. , As to what men Raleigh has makes no difference. Every one knows. And who are Winston's? Hirsch, Rollins: Gates and Garvin! The facts? But suppose the Winston artists would be willing to let the matter drop here. No, friend, Charlotte is abiding by the ruling of the authorities. Because we have usurped "your" first place which perhaps you think belongs to you year in and year out, don't growl. Had you not been so persistent perhaps it would never have been known. Be sure you're safe and right and then go ahead. In other words, cast the mote out of your own eye before hollering about somebody else. Are these FACTS plain enough? Well, let's see. What wer.e we talk ine about? Oh yes. We are still winning. Annexed our fourth straight one yes terday. This time it was Asheville's lowly crew. Things go by opposites. Notice Ashe ,.nQ' .niitnrio in the uercentage col umn and then take a glimpse at its geographical altitude. If it's Asheville's usual game they put up, it's no wonder tney re aivm& deeper into the cellar; Looked like the world's champions in a practice game. Everybody got one or more hits. Onlv thirty-five "at bats" but forty five men faced the pitchers. Thrailkill simply wouldn't allow them a look-in. Three of their hits came with two down. Nothing but straight balls used at the last and still they couldn't hit. 5 STANDING OF THE CLUBS NORTH CAROLINA LEAGUE. Won. Lost. P.C. CHARLOTTE 17 7.
