His chief encouragement for another try comes from his victory march in five of the seven counties in the Jtstrict. The most severe blow » his chances comes from his failure to carry his home county of Cumberland. A possible second primary in tie race for lieutenant governor developed when Luther Hodges of Leaks vi lie failed to gain a clear - cut majority in the state.

C. team already under their belt, the Columbus County American Legion baseball team will open the regular season's play against Warsaw at Civitan field here Fri day night at 8:00. Coach Bill Ratteree has assem bled one of the strongest teams that Columbus county has had in several years and it is expected to be one of the favorites in Area 2 this season. In the past three years, at least two legion teams have been fielded in Columbus County and last year three teams were entered from 'Columbus. However, this season due to the inability of the various posts to secure ball players, only one team has been entered in the league. This one team is composed of players from Whiteville, Tabor City, Chadbourn, Fair Bluff, Acme-Delco, Elizabethtown, Tar Heel and Lumberton. The one team in the county is expected to put the Columbus aggregation in a position to compete with other teams in the league for the first time in several yean. No other county in the league has had more than one team for many years. Other counties enter ing the Area 2 competition this season are Laurinburg, Kinston, Warsaw and Wilmington. This marks Warsaw's first entry into the league and little is known of the strength of the Friday night visitors. However, a good game is expected to be offered spectators in this opening encounter of tine 1952 season. Although no definite decision has been made, it was expected that Coach Ratteree would start Jimmy Jernigan on the mound Friday night. Jernigan was the ace hurler of the local high school team and has indicated his talents are among the best in the pitch ing corps on the county legion squad. Joe Gore, of Williams township, is expected to handle the catching assignment although Rudy Horton of Whiteville has shown up well in this department thus far. John Goins, of Lumberton, a 15 year old with a great deal of promise, is expected to hold down first base. Weyland Stanley, of Whiteville, has the second base job, Billy Small, of Fair Bluff, has first call at shortstop and Ε. V. Lehto, of Elizabethtown, and Ern est Ward of Whiteville, are ex pected to see action at third base. The outfield will show Worth Bernhardt of Acme-Delco, in left field, Dickie Lewis, of Whiteville, -in right field, and David Walters, of Whiteville, in centerfield. Wai ters is also a pitcher but is expect ed to play centerfield when not on the mound. Other pitchers include Billy Collier, of Whiteville, and Carlisle Davis, of Tar Heel. Utility men on the squad are Sam Waiden and Dale Thompkins, of Tabor City, Buck Jolly of Chad bourn, Mike Finnegan, of Fair mont, and Tom Brisson, of Tar Heel BULLETIN Chart es of fraud and corruption in the Democratic primary hot Saturday in the Cerro Gordo pre cinct were heard by the Colum bus County Board of elections in Whlteville Tuesday. Person· ap pearing before the board charged that votes were cast by people who were not registered, that per sons of infuenee stood within eight feet of the polls when the law requires SO, and charges of reckless voting of several illiterate persons were among the most ser ious heard by the board of elec tions.
