The j size of the stone was a big sur-1 prise to both the patient and the attending physician. So far as is known, it is the largest stone ever removed anywhere in this part of the country. Norfolk Virginian Pilot. Strike at City Point Four hundred electrical work ers at the DuPont Works at City Point walked out Thursday morning.

Of the dozen or more contestants who started1 out at the beginning only three remained lighting at the finish. The standing of the prizewinners shows clearly the erseverance ami energy with which these three managed to pile up such an amount of votes. From the standpoint of the Herald, as well as from that of1 the fortunate contestants, the contest was a success, one hun dred and seventy eight new sub scriptions being secured and a correspondingly large number of renewals. The three highest contestants were so close togeth erat the wind-up of the contest, ithas been thought proper to award t'iree prizes instead of two as originally olVered. This is done in recognition of the excellent work done by the third contestant. Prize winners are as follows: J. H. Dobbins, First Prize, Ml.fiUO votes, Clyde Mizell, Second Prize, 7Y2,XKI votes, Claraeiiee Grimmer, Third Prize, filO.SoO votes. The standing of the other con testants is not given, none of them coming anywhere near the standing of the three prize win ners. Had some of the other contestants taken advantage of the additional votes given with clubs of ten subscriptions, the standing of the contestants would have been a great deal nearer even.

Home Teams's Chances for Land ing Pennant Never Brighter, But Nearly all Schedule Games Must be Played to Decide. TEAMS PLAYING FAST BASE BALL The Roanoke Rapids team has1 won so many games in succession the fans would hardly know how i to take a defeat. An easy vict-; ory last Friday over Franklin, w ith a score of nine to two. In , fact, the visitors did not make it even interesting. Smith and Bland both decorated the mound ! for Franklin, but Roanoke's! heavy hitters Kiuudedthem both! impartially. It was four clean1 ones off Smith in three innings, and to show there were no hard IVelings live off Bland in five frames. Holden and Zollieoffer lead the batting for the locals. Barnes pitched one of the best games of the season for the Rap ids, allowing only one hit and fanning six of the thirty two men who faced him. Saturday's game was much closer baseball, closing with the score standing three to four in favor of the home hoys. Treakle pitched for Franklin and yroved to have much more stuff than either Bland or Smith. He al lowed only four hits and fanned seven men. Fight hits were landed oil' Scott, but were so scattered as not to count in the run making. Honig's fielding, the work of Johnson at short and Holden at first were the features of the game, two fast double plays being executed by them. F.mporia's suden rally resulting in splitting even with Franklin in the four games played this week, has prevented Franklin from overcoming Roanoke Rapids lead, Kniporia plays here to-day and to-morrow and judging from reports as to the way Em poria has strengthened up, Roanoke Rapids will have to play ball to w in.

Sykes' com panions are: Jim Knott, senten ced to fifteen years; Will Stanl ey, sentenced to four years and Jesse Helms, sentenced to twelve years. j The details of the killing have j not reached us. The only infor mation was that Sykes attempted to escape while returning to the camp from work and that he was :,hot ami killed by a guard. The secilU charge against ' S kes was felonious assault. The same charge was lodged against the other three. The policeman who was shot in the scrap was veiv seriously wounded and it ; was thought at first he would : sucumh but he finally got well. : That kept thecharge from being : murder.
