ENTHUSIASM IS INCREASING
FOR TENNIS
A high spirit of enthusiasm is get
ting hold of the tennis players now,
and every .day some good fast playing
is taking place. Many beginners are
endeavoring to learn the game, and
old players are working for a great
er degree of expertness. On account
of a little misunderstanding the
building of the Efird court has been
delayed. As soon as this little bit of
friction is overcome it will be fixed
unless it has to be abandoned alto
gether.
It is hoped that every tennis play
er, or would-be player will join the
tennis club, and join, in the move
ment to play a tournament. It is
believed that there will be sufficient
players to have a good tournament
some time during the season, and ev
ery one is asked to practice all they
can, and be just as efficient as pos
sible in order to make the playing
more interesting. In the event the
tournament is played, every player,
good or poor, will be wanted to take
part
: It is requested that all members of
the club pay up their dues, as it
takes money to buy balls, nets, lime,
wires, etc. Mr. Victor Abernethy is
treasurer of the club.
STILL CAPTURED ON ROUND
MOUNTAIN
A copper still and complete outfit
was captured yesterday by anenn
Triplett and Deputy John Walsh on

the still was about 40 gallons. When
within about 75 yardss of the still
the officers heard somebody give a
warning and the men made a hasty
get-away. The officers found no liq
uor, and it is supposed tnis was car
ried off by the men, as the still was
in operation. They found two small
tubs of beer, which they poured out.
The captured the axes, saws and oth
er tools around the still and brought
them in with the still.
METHODIST CHURCH NOTES
Rev. T. F. Marr,, D. D., will preach
for us at 11 a.m. Sunday. Dr. Marr
is conference educational secretary
and one of the strongest preachers
we have. We want a great crowd
to hear him. Let every one arrange
to attend.
We want a large attendance at
Sunday school. Despite the preva
lence of measles and the desire for
auto riding, let us put the church
first, and the Sunday school attend
ance where it should belong.
Our offering for Chinese relief was
exceedingly good, totaling $100. We
believe that other churches will like
wise make similar reports. Thanks
to one and all.
E. R. WELCH, Pastor.
NEW PICTURE PLAY BY
JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD
A TREAT FOR EVERYONE
ONLY 7,099 WHITE FOREIGNERS
IN NORTH CAROLINA
In its total population of more than
2,000,000 North Carolina has but
7,090 white foreign-born residents.
This is shown by the official figures
announced Saturday by the. census
bureau covering the foreign-born
populations of several States, includ
ing North Carolina.
The figures also give the country
of birth of the non-natives. North
Carolina has 967 white inhabitants
who were born in England, 932 in
Russia, 703 in Germany, 650 in Can
ada, 669 in Asia and 551 in Greece.
Altogether 43 nations are repre-f
sented in the population make-up f
the State. The foreign-born residents
range from England with 967 to one
for Bulgaria and one for the Atlan
tic Islands.
The census figures attest to the
native stock" composition of the
folks of the Old North State. The
sarnie is true of South Carolina, also
covered in Saturday's statistics. Of
the group of states announced along
with North Carolina the totals of
foreign-born white citizens are given
as follows:
Illinois, 1,204,403; North Dakota,
131.486: South Dakota, 82,372;
South Carolina, 6,401; Ohio, 678,647;
Oklahoma, 39,951; Oregon, 102,149;
Pennsylvania, 1,387,298; Utah, 56,
429; Texas, 630,071; Tennessee, 15,
479; Virginia, 30,784; Washington,
249,818; West Virginia, 61,899; Wis
consin, 459,904; Wyoming, zo,4d.
Against the few thousand foreign-
born in North Carolina, which has
lone been noted for its pure Ameri
can stock, the census finds that there
are more than 13,000,000 foreign
born white persons in the entire
United States. Figures for the whole
of the United States have been pre
pared by the bureau for the early
use of Congress and are subject to
revision, but are regarded as substan
tially accurate.
In the United States, according to
these preliminary figures, there were
13,703,387 foreign-born white per
sons enumerated as of Jan. 1, 1920,
as compared with a total of 13,345,
545 in 1910, an increase of 358,442,
or 2.6 per cent. This small increase
is due to the almost complete cessa
tion of immigration for more than
five years preceding the taking of the
1920 census, as well as to emigration
on account of the, war.
"The Courage of Marge O'Doone,"
which will be shown at the Universal
Theater on May 5th, is a vigorous,
fighting story of primitive men and
stout-hearted, beautfiul women,
fierce huskies and maleimutes, red
blooded adventure and rare romance,
surprise and suspense, mystery and
thrills staged in the vast white area
of the frozen North It has all the
zip and zest, the drama and color in
its score of high lights that makes it
just what it is a prize special photo
play production. It is a classic of
the North a masterpiece of dramat
ic writing made into a masterpiece of
a photoplay.
It is a gem of the genius of James
Oliver Curwood A born thriller, it
travels swiftly and breathlessly
along, studded with smashing inci
dent that keeps the suspense and an
ticipation on edge makes you guess
and guess wrong until the toppling
and unexpected climax strikes you.
It never lags for an instant. One lit
erary critic has proclaimed it a story
ready made for the motion picture
screen; another has called it hard to
beat and declared it the best storv
that James Oliver Curwood has ever
written.
