From the outset, the game was a thriller with both teams battling for pv< >ry point. The visitors took the lead and carried it until the close of the third quarter when Henderson moved up with a 11 to 10 score. A Held goal for the visitors in the open ing of the fourth quarter put them back in the lead but Stewart knotted the count when she sank a free throw The teams battled tooth and toe nail for the victory, hut the visitors step- * ped ahead on a field goal and were leading by that margin at the final whistle. Miss Godfrey Injured Miss Curlena Godfrey, stellar for ward for the locals and their main stay in the scoring department, was injured in the second quarter, her finger being hurt when hit by the hall. She left the game for the re mainder of the quarter, doctored it during the half rest period and re turned to the tilt only to be forced out again in the third period by an injured ankle. The loss of this play er made the difference between vic tory and defeat for the girls. Miss Ann Watkins stood out for the Henderson girls on the defense. Her guarding of Miss E.

TWO ST TILTS HERE FOR FRIDAY High School Teams Meet Norlina in Doubleheader at High Price Court R.iskettcall fans in this section will be served a doubeiheader Friday night at High Price warehouse when the Henderson high school teams tie utp with Norlina teafrns at 7:30 o’clock. About two weeks ago, the Norlina teams took a doubleheader from the h eals on their own court, but now the highs get them in their own back yard and the chances for at least one victory seem very favorable. Plenty of improvement has been noted in the girls under the direction of Jesse Matthews. Last night they were barely nosed out by Roanoke Rapids here last night by a 14-12 score. The boys have come along man velously under the direction of Coach Hank Powell and they will be fight ing their utmost to get their first victory of the season at the expense of the Warren county team. Congressman Kerr Faces Some Strong Opposition (Continued from Page One.) Sutton, of Kinston, Lenior county, who waves into and out of the pic ture, tout many think that in the final analysis he will be very much in the race, and there is certainly no mistaking the fact that he is very much of a political figure over in that end of the district. *Then from the center of the district, Wilson county is offering A. O. Dickens, a promin ent young attorney whose American Legion identity and connections some feel will hold out a necleus of work ers in every precinct. It is also known that Senator William C. Clark, of Edgecombe county, has his eyes turn ed toward Washington-ward these days, and that before the June pri mary he may be very much in the race. And with all these favorite sons it is interesting to listen in on what Moon Theatre TODAY ONLY Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Leslie Howard, Paul Lukas, Margaret Linsay—in “CAPTURED” Also: Mickey’s Covered Wagon Admission 16c Children 11c He’s Heels Star iBW I * Mil —e y—— • a/L we a theks -eokwakd The Carolina-Duke state champion ship basketball, game at Durham on Friday night at 8 o’clock will match Virgil Weathers, Carolina’s ace for ward, with Jim Thompson, the bril liant Duke Star. Weathers was All-Southern in 1932 and Thompson in, 1933. The Tar Heel sharpshooter is leading all scorers in the Southern Conference, while the Duke ace holds the same honor for the Big Five. In their last gamg.s Weathers found the basket for 16 and Thompson for 18 points. they are saying against Representa tive Kerr, for the opposition seems, to take a different hue in different localities, as for instance in Halifax his patronage dispensing seems to have earned the ire of some people, and it seems that she people that ■have been helping him in years past are now charging that he is appoint ing people out of the ranks of the other side. In Wilson, Edgecombe and Lenior counties they are charging that he wasn’t present to help Gov ernor Ehringhaus with the tobacco row when it started in Washington after the markets were so suddenly closed last September. In Northamfe ton they are saying that he should have done the same thing for the pea nut farmers. All of this is causing an argument in more than one country cross roads store, where there is al ways found an advocate of the con gressman’s cause, for they are le gion, and they speak right out and declare that he alone wrote the parity clause for tobacco prices and that ho rendered yoeman service in behalf of the cotton farmers. All or this is criticism that usually falls up on the head of the man that is in power. In the meantime it looks as though the “old Claude Kitchin’’ district is heading into a warm primary be tween now and summer weather and the 35,000 votes, which was the maxi mum in years past, is hardly going to Ibe a starting point unless the skies clarify in coming weeks, while its a bet of long odds that there is a sec ond primary if the offing. URGE ABOLITION OF SOUTH’S CHAINGANG Savannah, Ga.. 15. —Rt. Rev. Frederick F. Reese, Episcopal bishop oi Georgia, issued today from the Episcopal office in Savannah a state ment and appeal from religious lead ers to the people of the South, urging abolition of the chain gang and a. more humane and redemptive treat ment of all prisoners, The appeal ra signed by sixty well known religious leaders of the South, including bis hops, ministers, editors of religious papers, presidents of church colleges and denominational officials. The joint statement of the south ern churchmen points out that the chain gang still exists in three south ern states, that most county jails are breeding places of crime, that prison ers are often cruelly punished by un trained guards, and that the “sweat box” still exists. In their statement the churchmen protest against political control of jails and prisons and advocate a sys tem of probation and also the con solidation and state control of jails. They put forth a fourteen point plat form of principles as a guide for the treaembn of offenders.

Occas ionally that is an allocation which is sent bac, a board changes its mind. But all these North Carolina towns which were begged to make applica tion slept on their privileges.

In a word, North Carolina pays whether it gets the improvements or not. MV.

Flora Finch, sophisti cated comedians of the screen, will make North Carolina pay many a dollar for which it gets no benefit. Feel Bankers Lost Advantages Gained (Continued from Page One.) Hoyle Sink dismissed the action against them instead of submitting the question of conspiracy to an im ported jury. But the divided court by three to two found no reversible orror in the trial and none in allow ing the case to go to the jury. The court did overthrow Judge Sink on his double punishment of fine and imprisonment and did dismiss three of the seven convicted men. To that point, the present prison ers had more than an even break with the public. It was beginning to go their way. But the public has heard that the defendants who were -indict ed for embezzlement, did not take the - Flora Finch .-’'J who enjoyed so much popularity in the pioneer film days? Their two-reelers were the best comedy of the screen before the stand in their own behalf. The em bezzlement charges were nolprossed after conviction on the conspiracy counts, but the public is beginning to remember that the men did not test ify in their own behalf. The construe tion put upon that omission is they feared to face a cross-examination on the other charges. The habeas corpus, however, may help to clear up one badly disputed point. The State never has believed that the defendants complied with the termsm of Judge Nat Townsend’s sentence. They argue that they did and that they are being illegally held and imprisoned. A layman finds it difficult to understand how prisoners regularly convicted and sentenced, then upheld by the Supreme Court, are unlawfully Imprisoned. The Transylvanians, it is observed, might have profited by taking the course of Wallace Davis, instead of resorting t tohe tactics of Colonel Luke Lea.
