Chairman Henry B. Varncr was nstnicted to appoint one or more Central highway "boosting commit tees" for the purpose of making a tour of the Central to stimulate in terest in the movement for a hard surface pike from the mountains to the sea. According to present plans the boosters will start at the Tenn essee line Monday October 27, pro eeding eastward to the seacoast. If practicable, the same party will make the entire tour; otherwise, the trip will be made in sections. Gov ernor Bickett and James II. Pou, of Raleigh, the latter referred to as founder of the Central highway, wnl lie asked to make the tour. The other members of the party have rot been agreed upon- The chairman also was instructed to appoint coram ttees to present plans for improving the Central highway to county officials through I which the road passes, with a view to procurement from the latter of indorsement uy proper resolutions of the construction of such roads and their pledge to pay their one-fourth of the cost of same."

The trustees were mindful of the fact that the pi-esent state highway commission has regularly declined to lend to hard surface construction the same degree of encouragement giv en to topsoil construction.

In effect, this plan has greatly encouraged the building of topsoil roads and penalie the con struction of hard surface highways. Manifestly displeased with such plans , members of the conference here yesterday repeatedly insisted that some definite plan for hard surf acting the Gen Ural "lighway in its entirety be evolved and it was in response to this sentiment -that James A. Wellons, of Smithfield, finally introduced a resolution call ing for consummation of thtt pro ject. Mr. Wellons also wished to have lecetric lights along the Cen tral highway as well as sewer fa cilities, while he proposed creation -of special road districts extending vtf mile on each side of the Central. Chairman Frank Page, of Raleigh, of the state highway commission, in formed Mr. Mellons that his resolut ion was "a beautiful dream," but im practicable. Prior to delivery of this pronouncement Mr- Page had declared himself anxious . to see all of the Central highway hard sur-' faced; in fact, he said he would like1 to see hard surface roads all over North Carolina. Resolution is Adopted ! Mr. Wellon's resolution was refer led to a special committee for re drafting. This committee was com-v posed of G. D. Canfield, of More head City; N. C. Mulligan, of Lex-' inerton: H. B- Craven, of Ridgecrest; R, P. Coble, anil G. G. Dickson, of Greerisbor), and F. II. Brooks, of I Smthfield. As nrenarfd nni adopted bv the committee the resolution received the sanction of the trustees, the document being as follows: ' "Whereas the Central highway is the principal thoroughfare the state dof North Carolina from east to west, therefore, bt it rtsolved by the board of trustees of the Central highway, assembled in the city of Greensboro, N- C, this the 3rd day of October, 1919; "That we favor the early con struction of a hard surface road over the Central highway, stretching from Beaufort harbor to the Term- me 01 noi less inan ju it-ci, in Width, to be constructed under the RuAervisioH of the state highway amission, each county.

This little town breathed easier today than at any time during the week since the race trouble burst out Sunday with out warning. Reports where the troops are stationed were favorable. Generally the people believe the worst was over. The authorities expected to obtain additional information regarding the alleged banding of negroes in this lo cality through further questioning of Ed Hicks, said to be one of the ring leaders of the "negro's progressive farming and household union." The object of the union, as stated in the pamphlet, was to advance the negro educationally and industrially. The constitution authorizes ipass words, door woi'ds, grips and signs which were to be changed every three months, and provides for a fine and expulsion for divulging the secrets of the organization. Any excluded member was not to be allowed to join in 99 years. The number of negroes known to have been killed by soldiers and poss emen was placed at 14, but author ities believe the number is greater. I1 lve white men are dead.

Foster faced the senate investigating committee in Washing ton yesterday and the iron and stee! workers' organizer was asked about much of his writings. He said his views had changed, but did not indi cate how much. The committee was armed with books written by Foster urging revolutionary socialism and sabotage and had copies of "Solidar ity," I. W. W. organ, containing arti cles written by him from Europe in J'JIl. lie was asked to explain. Foster first attempted to parry the questions, at the outset refusing to answer until newspaper reporters excluded from the room, on the ground that "lying, prejudiced news papers have misconstrued and mis represented my personal Opinions with the whole idea of injuring the cause of 800,000 steel workers." He was finally crowded into 'a declara tion when Senator McKellar, demo crat of Tennessee, reading many1, quo tations from his works, demanded that he say whether or not he still ad hered to his beliefs. "Those are not my views now," he said, in a subdued tone, after listen ing to his own words repeated, de claring "the state to be a meddling, capitalistic institution," and advocat ing violence in strikes, and calm ac ceptance of bloodshed as necessary to the forwarding of the revolutionary cause. President Gompers of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, broke into the examination in irritated fashion at one point, when Foster was stand ing on his objections to newspaper re ports of his testimony." "Well, they cap's say anything worse about you than they have," the aged head of the labor federation ad jured -him. Foster would not, however, com pletely abjure his old works, and faced with one line to the effect "that the syndicalist worker will not be heid back from direct action by the capitalistic code, of ethics, duty, hon or, patriotism," he told the commit tee: "Put quotation marks around some of those, and I'll stand by them yet. They'll show how the words are used." Other excerpts, from later writ ngs, stating that "government as we know it will shrivel up and die," and 'industries now in the hands of the state, municipalities and the nation, will be given completely oyer to the workers in them," he was quite well prepared to defend.

Chicago, Oct. 4. What the wor;d series means in dollai-s and cents to the baseball fraternity can be exem- nlifiorl r tVip "atnti'impnl- t Visit. Vir-fm'P the present series is completed the gate receipts for such contests play ed under the jurisdiction of the National Commission will reach the impressive total of more than $3, 500,000. Notwithstanding recent re marks to the contrary it is doubt ful if big league baseball would have mounted to its imposing position with out the aid of the world series. The battle for the chamiponship is the logical climax for each season's pennant races and the fact that close to two million spectators have paid almost three and a half million dol lars to witness such contests places the stamp of public approval on the play beyond cavil. Since 1905, when the national commission began its supervision of the world series, fourteen have been played and the Chicago Americans and the Cincin nati Nationals are now engaged in a struggle for the fifteenth cham pionship. During the past fourteen 'seasons the attendance totaled 1,915,41)4 and as 78 games were played in these se ries the average attendance has been very close to 25,000 per game. In the same period these spectators have paid in at the gate about $1.80 each for the. privilege of watching the play, the aggregate gate receipts for Jthe 78 games being $3,429,720 in round figures, which is an average of very close to $44,000 per game, Further delving into 1 1 h figu res shows that the club owners have profited to a greater extent than the players for the sums divided among the competing clubs and the leagues' a; "?"ri UUi" 6 "lx "a" 1UUUOT1 .via,s 1L"U1- es the pleasing total of $1,715, 700 while the baseball warriors have col lected $1,370,200. The plajers rep resented twenty-eight clubs or teams during these series and even under a fifty-fifty division of the pool instead ot the customary sixty and forty split, the average would have been better than $00,000 per team. While it is almost impossible to ascertain just how many players fig ured in the division of the money during the past fourteen years a fair average would be in the neighborhood of twepty-five per club. Using this average as a basis it will be seen that about 700 players have, at one time or another, shared m the world series pool. Until within a season or two it has been customary for the winning combination to receive 60 per cent of the pool ami the losing team 40 per cent, On this basis soine 3i0 players Jliave received about $2,350 as winers and an eqal number $1,500 as losers. The ia tional commission's average per game approximates $4,380. Although it is quite likely that a new record in gate receipts may be established in the present nine game series it is doubtful if the players' share will equal the record establish ed in 1912 since the new distribu tion arrangement requires that one quarter of their pool go to proceeds of five games instead of four but the deduction of 25 per cent of their pool is likely to more than counter .balance the gain from the fifth con isz receipts rri 1 1 Ihe club owners are af required to shave more liber- any tnis season vitn tne other mag - nates of the league than in past years for they will divide just half of their- portion of the receipts with the clubs that trailed them in the pennant race of 1919.
