PAGE TWO Rich Square Nine Here Thursday For Contest Former Pupil of Mill .er Directs Visiting Team; Stainback To Get Pitching Call; Tarry Wins First Base Job Henderson high school Bulldogs Will open their baseball season here tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, Rich Square being the opponent for the afternoon. The contest will match teacher against pupil. Coach Bing Miller, who tutors the local lads, once coached J. S. Kilpatrick, who directs the Rich Square ball club. Miller issued uniforms to his squad yesterday, and put them through a long workout, and was fairly well satisfied. Atkin Stainback will likely get the starting call on the mound, with Dick Callaway behind the bat. From yes terday's workout, it appeared that Tarry had won the starting post at first base over W. L. Beddingfield. Rich Square has one of the best ball clubs in Northampton county, and has been consistently winning this season. The Bulldogs are short in practice, and must show fair form if they hope to turn back the invaders. DUKE NINE MEETS PITT IN TWO GAMES Durham, April 12.—Duke’s Blue Devils of baseball, meeting Davidson at Davidson in their Big Five open er this afternoon, return home to night and will face the touring Pitt Panthers in Duke park Thursday and Friday afternoons.

Court Dreads Highway Suit Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter HoteL Raleigh, April 12—Outwardly they are all serene and they wouldn’t ad mit it if anybody could get up nerve enough to ask about it, but six of North Carolina’s seven Supreme Court judges are probably going round these days with their fingers crossed. The digits are in that figurative position in hopes that it will ward off necessity for deciding the case wherein the State Highway and Pub lic Works Commission is bucking and balking at paying $25,000 or more to the Little Switzerland cor poration in which the one member of the august tribunal, Judge Heriot Clarkson, holds the biggest interest. Yet it now appears that Chief Justice Walter P. Stacy and five of the associate justices are going to have just that to do, in view of the commission’s announcement that it will appeal from a jury verdict a warding the Little Switzerland peo ple $25,000 as damages done their property in taking some of it for highway instruction. It will all be quite embarrassing, and it is likely that considerable pressure will be brought to bear to keep the matter from going to the highest court. Judge Clarkson and his associates were awarded $27,000 and some odd by an appraisal group, and the com mission appealed for a jury trial. It got it and also got socked with a $25,000 verdict, which (with court costs, attorney fees, interests, etc.) will likely cost far more in the end than would payment without protest. The case has worked up high feel ing in the highway commission, which appears to be dead bent on fighting the award to the last ditch. As matters now stand, it’s distinct ly the commission’s move, and the Supreme Court judges are hoping hard that next move won’t pass the buck up to them. Capital Gossip By IIENRY AVERILL AND LYNN NISBET Raleigh, April 12.—More than one hundred Unemployment Compen sation Commission employees are to be cut off the pay rolls in the very near future. The ironic feature is that these people, who have been working at the job of paying compensation to the jobless, will themselves not be eligible for it when they are sepa rated from the payrolls. Os course they were fully aware of that fact when they took the posi tions, so perhaps they should not be too much pitied. Recently Utilities Commissioner Stanley Winborne received a com munication complaining loudly that ice manufacturing companies are not classed as public utilities. It seems somebody who owes a com pany money from one summer wants to be sold ice again this year, and things the U. C. might order it done. In Raleigh’s heated municipal campaign, now in full swing, one of the candidates for commissioner of public safety is nominally R. C. (Bob) Powell; but anybody ac quainted with the situation will tell you that two of every three votes he polls will be first, last and all the time due to the influence and activities of his wife, “Miss Ann.” Not much has been said in the pub lie prints, but under the surface this same Raleigh campaign is being waged on the issue of gambling and racketeering. Tip book men, tin horn gamblers of all sorts are out to “get” Chief of Police H. L. Pierce through the medium of beating pre sent Safety Commissioner Teddy Fountain. Tuesday wasn’t really Tuesday at all, but a sort of “double blue Mori lay,” following as it did two and a half days holiday. “The calm after the calm,” crack ed one enterprising reporter whose hardest morning efforts had yielded the next thing to a complete blank. He isn’t saying anything about it; but Thad Eure, secretary of state, is confident he will surprise the State at large by the speed With which his office makes available the bound and printed copies of the “Public Laws of 1939 .” Dare’s Senator D. Bradford Fear ing was around town Tuesday smil ing and, as usual, ballyhooing Roan oke Island and the “Lost Colony” to everybody who’d stop to listen The whole thing’s going to be big ger than ever he declares, with five performances a week this summer. Oscar Barker, of Durham, was glad-handing it around Raleigh on Tuesday also. The affable Bull City man has never stopped running for Congress. In two primaries last summer, only to be nosed out by High Point’s Judge Lewis Teague, Oscar obvious ly formed the habit and can’t stop. Look for plenty of news from the Eleanor Powell and Robert Young in “Honolulu”—Stevenson Thursday and Friday. . •< * HENDERSON,. (N. C.)
