The local committee is being organized to care for the throngs expected during the meeting. The building committee as sures all that the tabernacle will be completed at least two weeks before the beginning of the meeting. Rev. A. J. Smith, pastor of local church, and general chairman of all committees, is working almost night and day that all things shall be in readiness by time of meeting. Upon his recent trip to Thomasville, where he delivered the literary address for the Orphanage, he was kept busy answering the many inquiries con cerning the meeting at Franklin. There were present those from all sections of the State and some from other states, who indicated their in tentions to attend the Truett-Mc Connell meeting. In fact inquiries have come from many living in the far south who expect to come to the Mountains during the Summer will arrange to take their vacation during this meeting. It is understood that the Franklin Press will carry the life story of Dr. George W. Truett, as written by Dr. Cranfiel, a close personal friend of Dr. Truett. Perhaps other papers in the territory will do the same. Information will be given soon concerning the roads and general! in formation by those who would like to attend the meeting. o CELEBRATE FOURTH AT EAST LA PORTE The Glorious Fourth was celebrat ed, with, base ball games, foot races, greasy pole climbing and various other games of amusement. The morning game betwee Chero kee Warriors and Blackwood, went in fayor of the Blackwood*' 13 to 9. The gtng belonged to any orfe until the ninth inning, when Coggins and Clark hit terefic liners with men 011 bases, thereby ending the agony. Chief Jackson of the Warriors car ried away base running honors by a wide margin. The afternoon game between Ravensford Hardwoods and Black wood kept the fans on their toes every minute. The Hardwoods took the lead in 3rd inniftg, with two hits, a pass and an error. Blackwood suc ceeded in getting one over the plate in the 5th. Both pitchers closed right up and refused to allow a hit until the 7th, when Hardwoods desposed with the first two men up, via. the strike out route, Hock of the Black woods refused to take the count and put a sharp single to left field. With two gone, one man on the Blackwood put on the war paint in a way and manner that the starch was com pletely taken out of the Hardwoods. Enloe hurling for theHardwoods used all his generalship in trying to turn the tide. But the slaughter was com plete. The carnage was finally ended by Green lifting a long fly to deep center which was taken in by Arm en chain after a great run. In the 8th the veteran Stallcup, picked out one of Crisp's offerings and put the sphere out of the lot for the circuit. The final score was 9 to 7 in favor of Blackwood. A boy from Tuckaseegee won the foot race in the 8 to 10 year class. Miss Ophelia Woolcin won the girls race by 20 ft. The greatest excitement of the races was when men's race was announced 12 contestants took part at the end ofthe first 25 yards Clark and Jones were running neck and neck at the 50 yard line, it looked as if Jones had the lead by only a few inches, when they crossed the 75 yard line Clark saw he was pitted against a man who knew no "quit" and he thereupon called to action every ounce of reserve that was in his frame, and went under the goal by small margin. The betting odds were heavily in favor of Edgar Moseman, but the crowd could see that the old vet who had carried away victory after victory was a victim to over weight and therefore lost to all. His ad mission of defeat was so sportsman like that it brought forth con tinued roar of applause. The athletie association wishes to express thanks to Sheriff Sutton and deputies for their efficiency in hand* ling the crowds. It will probably ho many days before East La Porta will witness such a throng of people. A th. * r. ( f M k ? \ ? ? 'A - ? r V f r < c '
