'Armistice Day Celebration" I WITH THE CHURCHES PROSECUTION PRESENTS WEAK CASE Paul C. Duncan, former man ager of Duncan's, Incorporated charged by V. C. Matthews with the embezzlement of a sum esti mated at five thousand dollars from that company, was dis charged by Recorder A. L. Clark, after the preliminary hearing on last Monday failed, in His Hon or's opinion, to bring out testi mony to justify the case being carried to Superior Court. The prosecution placed several witnesses on the stand who tes tified that they had received checks from Mr. Duncan, drawn by the corporation, in payment of his private obligations to them, but did not introduce testimony to show that these checks had been charged to the accounts of the corporation by Mr. Duncan. Other testimony was to the effect that Mr. Duncan had cashed a money order sent to pay an obli gation due the corporation with out turning the money over to the corporation. Although Mr. Duncan did not go on the stand himself, it was brought out that he had used the money to pay his wife for work done in the store taking inventory. No audit of the books of the corporation was introduced into the testimony and it was patent before the summing up by coun sel that the prosecution had fail ed to score. Mr. Duncan was I Attention! all ex-service men! and citizens of Halifax County to the "big doings" in Weldon on November 11th, at which you are urged and expected to be present.

It is safe to assume that the farmers have not believed the weevil was coming pr that if it did come it would do very little damage. Farmers in other sec tions have done the same thing lt I and paid the price and unless there is a decided change in sen timent among the farmers husiness men of this state there will be a repetition of the The boll weevil is a serious problem, and is as much the prob lem of the business man as of the cotton grower, but it is not necessary to magnify it as they still grow plenty of cotton prof- i itably f uther south where it has been established for years.

Trv at goal was not allowed by Referee Simpson for the reason that after the touch-down the ball was placed upon the ground in the field of play and not im mediately kicked thereafter. The Roanoke Rapids team came back in the second half with much stronger defensive tactics and their goal was not again in serious danger. The interference by the Em poria team together witn tne ground gaining ability of their experienced back field, which was unusually fast and heavy, were the particular features worthy of mention. The forward passes of the Roanoke Rapids team, which failed to count scores through fumbles, were otherwise well planned and executed. The work of Capt. Wyche at quarter back. Vick at Rieht Half and Cannon at Left End was partic ularly good. The team was weakened by the loss of Vaughan at Center and Johnson at Right Guard. The work of Welsh at Center under this -handicap was very good. The whole local team reilized the advantage gained from the experience of a match game, and Coach Simpson expressed satisfaction with progress the team had made. He realizes that the personnel of the team includes splendid material for a football team to cope with any in the state when they have had the advantage of experience.

Considering the fact that this was the first game either high school had ever staged the game was good. Emporia scored one touchdown in the first half and failed to kick goal. After this neither side could make a point. Coach Simpson has some promis- insr material and indications are that a splendid team will be de veloped. The dwelling and store houss of Mr. of Mr. J. W.
