REV. R. W. GEORGE Our Wealthiest. Citizen Favors Woman Suffrage, Will Vote For the Amend ments and Predicts That Prohibition Will Be Na tional Within Ten Years. Rev. Robt. W. George, of Francises, was among the citi zens who visited Danbury this week, and while here paid the Reporter a pleasant visit. Mr. George is a Presbyterian minister and is withal our coun ty's wealthiest citizen, owning near four thousand acres of land, besides four large roller mills and various other property. He is in his 67th year, though he doesn't look that old. He is very much pleased over the fact that the county will soon erect a large steel bridge across the Dan -3ar his home, and he will purchase an automobile for his personal use as soon as the bridge is completed so that he will have a better outlet, He will have the machine built to his order as he has not seen one that is just what he wants. Mr. George is heartily in favor of woman suffrage, and believes that the women would vote and fill the offices just as well as the men do. He gives the women the credit for the work that has been done in securing prohibition and predicts that within the next ten vears prohibition will be national. Asked as to what he thought of the amendments to the con stitution to be voted on next week he stated that he favored them all, and especially the one pro viding for a six months school term. "No country," said he "can be what it should be unless its people are educated." Some vears since when the cotton mills of Fries, Va., and Mayodan, N.

C. 21oct2t Carl Ray's Work In Ilie Carolina League. The following story relative to Pitcher Carl Ray has been sent to the Baseball World : It has been learned here that Carl Ray, the premier twirler of the North Carolina League last season, has been drafted by the Birmingham Barons. Ray has orders to report to the Barons on November 1, and accompany them on a barnstorming tour thru the Southern States, along the gulf and to Cuba. In this husky country lad, the Birmingham club has a pitcher of great promise who some day is going to sing his song in the big leagues. He is only 22 years of age and was known as the Iron Man of the circuit last year. It was no unusual thing for him to pitch three and occasionally four games a week, and no matter how hard he was worked, he never seemed to weaken. He worked in 45 league games last year, winning 28. losing 13 and tieing 2. In addition to this, he worked in three of the five games of the post series with Norfolk, winning all of them, and also in several exhibition games before the season opened. The season of 1914 was Ray's first full season in professional ball. His work first attracted attention in 1912, when, pitching for Whitsett, he fanned fifteen members of the local league club in an exhibition game. He was immediately signed by Manager Clancy, of the local club, who saw in him a twirler of promise. He worked with the locals during the 1912 season, but failed to establish a reputation owing to his lack of control. He was sent home before the season ended, but the local club refused to relinquish its claim, and he was given another tryout in 1913. He opened that season like a whirlwind by pitching and win ning two of the first three games played. But his wildness again caused him to be sent home before the end of the season. In 1914 he was back again, this time to stay. He won his first twelve games and lost the thirteenth on errors by his team mates. Naturally it was pro claimed he was to be sent home again. However, this was not the case, and the season ended with Ray the leading heaver, with room to spare. He was one of the four twirlers to pitch a no-hit game and for a time held the league strike - out record of 15. This was snatched from him by Pitcher John Harp er, of Greensboro, now with the Athletics, who fanned 17 Wins ton-Salem batters on a very dark day. With good catching Ray is bound to prove a winner. He has an underhand ball that, when working right, is a terror to all hitters. This ball is seldom hit out of the diamond, which accounts for his long string of one, two and three hit games. He is very popular all over the league and won one of the two automobiles given by the American Tobacco Co. to the two most popular players in the league. The good wishes of every fan in the circuit go with the "red haired" southpaw to Birmingham. Keep Your Stomach and Liver healthy.
