Exposition, Tells Kiwanians That Is What One Town In N. C. Does, and It is Win- stoh-Salem. Mr. J. C. Robinson, representing the Made-In-Carolinas Exposition, was the principal speaker at the Ki wanis luncheon last Friday night, He came to tell the Kiwanians that the exposition had new plans this year, and was beginning early to put these plans into execution, and asked that Lincoln have an exhibit again this year. He said the 'Made-In-Car- olina Exposition last year had more attendance than any ; of the state fairs, and that the show was a suc cess, and would be even better this year. . He declared North Carolina the greatest state in the Union and was growing greater all the time. In proving this he said that Winston Salem paid more income tax to the federal government than does the en tire state of Georgia, Mr. Robinson's home state; and that the state of N, C.,pays more federal tax than Dsouth- ern state. Mr. Robinson declared that tho N. C. was the greatest state in the union, her people yearly send 200 million dollars out of the state for manufactured products, and the exposition was trying to induce the people of the state to spend this money with home people, thus en riching the state. Mr. Robinson was introduced by President Love. President Love appointed Rev. J. T. Mangum, J. L. Thompson, Graham Morrison, J. M. Mullen and T. C, Abernethy on a committee to assist Mr. Robinson in securing a Lincoln exhibit for the Made-In-Carolina ex position. Rev. J. T.

Miller, was ap pointed by President Love to go be fore the Board of Aldermen and ask 'that half of the cost of the advertis ing in the booklet be paid by the town, and the committee to assist Mr. Drummond in securing the re mainder from citizens here. The cost of the advertising was stated by Mr. Drummond to be $250.00 for the two pages. Last Friday's luncheon program was gotten out by Harry Page. TWO NEW COLLEGE BUILDINGS .'." Greensboro, May 9.

Both of these were asked for at the time of the meeting of the state legislature. The cost of these two buildings will be around $300,000, it is expected. i:. Architects will submit plans for these builidngs at an early date, and work will be , expedited as much as possSble. No other buildings have been decided on at present, but it is probable that three new dormitories, a new win? to the dining hall A new power plant and other structures will be erected as soon as practicable. The legislature appropriated to the col lege the sum of $1,850,000 for per manent improvements during the two year period, and it is the desire of the board to use this sum to the greatest possible advantage.

Morganton News. ,' SCREEN SENSATION AT THE FORD THEATRE One of the biggest and tnout sensa tional thrills ever recorded by a mo tion picture camera can be found in Elmer Clif Ion's "Down to the Sea in Ships," the feature attraction at the Ford Theatre, Tuesday a;d Wednes day.',, ' -;'. . " This scene shows where 'Raymond McKee, who plays the leading male rale in this production,, harpoons a whale, and later the wounded and an gry monster of the deep turns upon the small "boat and catapults the oc cupants into the water, smashing the boat to kindling. When Mr. Clifton decided on pay ing a last tribute to the now almost forgotten whaling industry, by film ing the actual harpooning of a whale, he planned to photograph the real stuff. As a result M. McKeen was forced to sign ship's papers and enlist upon a regular whaler. V This particular scene, it is said, shows the small boat being towed at express train speed through the wa ter by the angry whale. It then shows the whale make a turn and : charge the boat Critics and experts have said, wherever this production has been shown, that this thrill is one of the biggest sensations ever seen upon the screen. It plainly shows Ray mond McKee risking life and limb in the taking of these realistic scenes. The management of the Ford thea tre feels confident that the motion picture public will find this scene truthful ir. every detail,' and recom mends "Down to the Sea in Ships" as j one of the best and most interesting photoplays of the year. ; v (adr.) ' BASE BALL FANS FORM AN INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE J.. L Thompson Elected Presidents Will Play Two Games each Week Having seen other cities and small towns organize city leagues, twilight leagues, independent leagues and all species and ;, varieties of amateur leagues, and having watched for their failure and while watching saw them prosper and thrive, the firms and manufacturing plants of Lander Hardware Co., Arrow Mill, Elm Grove Mill and Ideal Chair Co. have organized themselves into a compact and well balanced little league. So we have with us the Lincoln In dustrial Baseball League. Some name it has, but it is also some league, for the respective clubs have taken care to organize along lines which have been tried and found practical by oth er amateur leagues. Two games will be played each week, with a small sprinkling of double headers to sort of add finesse and give a business like touch to the schedule. The sea son will be divided, nineteen games being played by each club in the first half and a like number in the second. The clause in the constitution of the new league which seems most important and around which the whole principle is based is Article. Three which provides "No member of any club shall receive in any way whatsoever,', any compensation for his services as player, and no club shall play more than three (3) men who have at any time, received com pensation for playing ball. The eli gibility of each and every player shall be passed on by the president and advisory committee." . Mr. Crum, a representative of A. G. Spaulding and Bros., manufactur ers of baseball equipment, called on the Lander Hardware Co. last Mon day and offered the Spaulding Tro phy to the winners of the champion ship. The Trophy, which is 18 in ches tall, is a very handsome peice of stature-work and-jreprwits player in the act of throwing a ball. The upper part is of Sterling silver and the base is of high grade ebony, the whole being valued at $75. . Tho elected President of the baby circuit is Mr. J. L. Thompson and the Advisory Conmittee consists of one representative from each club, Summey Cauble, Arrow Mill; Jen nings Edwards, Ideal Chair Co.; John Eury, Elm irove Mill; J. L. Herndon, Lander Hardware Co. A secretary is yet to be named. The founders of the little league earnestly requests that the fans be tolerant of any little mistake they may have made, for this Is their first attempt at league forming, and, while they have burned the midnight .oil over schedules and by laws, they are not sure that the thing is perfect, although they have done their best.

Washington, May 9. The world court sleuths are on President Hard ing's trail. Senator Medill McCor mick of Chicago, has just returned from a tour of the middle west, and is convicted that the President has but few suporters . on this proposi tion. It is now evident that if the President stands firm he will drive a wedge into his party and split it wide open. Mr. Harding has many loyal supporters -and sympathizers. Mr. MeCormick went to, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and other states. He was an old Bull Mooser in the Roosevelt days. , Gastonia, May 10. Rev. H. R. Kennington, wife and two small sons, of Lowell, had a narrow escape from death late today near the . Mo dena mill, on the Gastonia Lowelll road, when the car he was driving was run into by a car driven by Neil Craig, an employe of the county road department, who was arrested a moment later on a charge of driv ing a car while under the influence of intoxicants.

The patient was consci ous and had the use of parts of his body. Members of the hospital staff said they were ''hopeful." Raleigh, May 7. Cotton held by the co-operative association must be listed for taxation and thereby hangs one whale of a tale. The revenue commissioner, the attorney general and the chairman of the corporation commission unanimously hold this opinion. The association sitting in Raleigh officially does not like the idea of having to list the bales of cot ton in the townships in which the bales are stored rather than in the place of production. Which is to say, the association pays the tax on these bales just as a corporation pays the tax on shares of stock. WILKINS RE-ELECTED WITHOUT OPPOSITION Dallas, May 8.
