BIGGS Great Game of Ball The game of base ball last Fri day afternoon between the fata leaus was pulled off in good shape. Although the weather was threat ening. and there had been several showers, the attendance was very good. Those who expected to see lots of runs made were disappoint ed. Both sides played good ball considering the fact that only four five of al) the players had had any paactice. The leans went to the bat first and the great McCraw, the pill roller, not the professional ball player, was the first man up. Mac han't quite lost his eye for the game, and the second ball over was sent to the field and Mac was thrown out at first. Manning, the staid and dignified register of deeds, was ths next man to handle the stick. Although no ball play ef&e put his seal on the sphere ancCwent safely to the' first bag. Liles, the educator, was the next man up, in a short time with a full head of steam he was making for first base. Lamb, not your little woolly lamb but the little Luke Lamb what plays ball, was the next to peck on the plate, and alas, the Lamb was slaughtered. Sister Gordon with the blue frock and bounet all trimmed with fancy fabrics, a Varsity player of note, retired the side, one run niade.^ Joe Godard, the wire puller and phone mender, was the first to face the pitcher for the fats. He promptly connected with ball and did-not ring off until he reached second base. John Biggs, the former tooth puller, but now a country gentleman and the owner of a race horse, was the next to approach the slab. Doc's height was somewhat against him, the pitcher was inclined to toss the balls a little high, and he could not reach them. Kada Crawford, the man that tells you about sav ing your house from fire and your self from , death, by carrying insurance, was the next to face the twirler, aud he did it with all ear nestness and confidence, he fanned. T. J. Smith, the great tobacco man,'(he weighs about 300), was the next man aud he fanned, one run made. N. S. Peel, representing the town fathers and the holder of the town money bags, was the next to handle the stick for the leans. It being his first time at the bat he fanned, reserving his force for a more critical time. Wheeler Mar tiu, sou of the old man, fr«sh from Graham High School, swatted oue to left field and hiked it to first bag. Bob Peel, Martin County's leader iu educational movements, a teach er of long standing, and an exp«rt at striking the naughty boys on the south side of the trousers, fail ed to land on the curves of the in surance man and retired to the bench.(We didn't see any bench though). Myrt Stubbs fresh from Horner pounched upon the first spit ball that was thrown and sent it to deep right where the great to bacco man was not expecting' it. Iu the fielder's effort f .o catch up with the ball he fell, and it was a sight to behold—a hogshead roll ing over the field would have been ashamed of itself. Tom Perry the man who handles brick, aud 'tis said he needs no ladder for an ordi uary one story building, faced the invincible Crawford and his move ments in striking at the ball re minded us of a plasterer, but he got tbere. The graceful pitcher, Willie Manning, desiring not to snow bis opponents under retired the side. Three runs were made inning. Whltmore, the pencil pusher and printer's devil, was the first man for the fats in the second inning (what a burlesque on the fat man's team), he sent a liner to Willie Manning that got tangled up in Willie's skirts, but it made no dif ference, the grey-wigged Miss Liles was waiting on the first sack with the ball when he reached that point. S. L. Godard, Big Six, followed and sent the ball fly ing out to right field.- In his race against the ball to first he lost bis bearings and started around the grand stand, some good natured 'fellow stopped him and pointed out the bag, putting on some extra steam he managed to reach first ahead of the ball which had got ten tied up in Bob Peel's skirts. Henry Crawford, an old-timer, and who is a slugger, stepped to the plate and swatted one out to left Where State Peel and Tom Perry held a consultation as to who should throw the ball to first.

Official Piano Jamestown Expo sition. Joe Godard, the money lender and the man that is always look ing for a good thing stepped to the plate and gave his old side part ner, Willie Mauuing, the wink, Willie passed one up in a silver waiter knowing the banker would not let it pass, J. G. connected alright and the result was that Misses Noah Peel and Tommy l'erry, held another consultation. Will Mizell, the little couutry lad, followed and sent orte to center where the: representative of Graham High School ate it up. The wire puller aud phone mendef retired the side for the fats. Three runs made this inning. The fats settled right down to business after this aud did~not let the "leau old maids" score puy more till the eighth iuning. It was seen that the ' 'old umids'' were getting rather hysterical, as the fats had been piling up runs every inning, so it was thought best to let up on them. The "old maids" had even changed their pitcher, Sister Gordon was put in the box in the sixth inning. Craw ford having lost bis spit ball, and and a few errors, a half a dozen or more by the fat fielders, the old maids scored six runs in the eighth. Somebody found Crawford's spit ball playing around the bleachers, so in the ninth the "old maids" were fanned as fast as they faced the pitcher; — When the fats took stock of the runs wheu they went in for theii ninth they found that the "old maids" were only two runs ahead. This is where that old time South ertj chivalry was brought into play they lost all desire to win the game and walked to the slab and struck out like men. The score was 14 to 12, Score by innings: 1 1345678 9—Total Pats I3ljr Jl2 o — il "Old Maids" 1 3400006 o— 14 Batteries: Crawford and Godard; Manning, Gordon and McCraw. Umpires, Cook and Hardison.

Hlgb School Districts The last Legislature made it passible for the County Board of Kducatin to establish two County High School. • The Board has located one at Robersonville and at Williamston, as these were the only schools in the Couniy that employed as mauy as three teachers. The Board has divided the Coun ty into two High School districts, assigning the pupils of Poplar Point, Hamilton, Goose Nest, Rob ersonville, and Cross Roads Town ships to the Robersonville school, vnd the pupils of Jamcsville, William's, Griffins, Bear Grass, Williamston Townships to the Williamston school. For gooi and sufficent reasons pupils will ,be transfered by the Board frOm one of the districts to the other. Tuition is free in these schools to public school teachers and all pupils who have completed the seventh grade work in their schools. Pupils desiring to attend either of these schools can confer with the County Supt. or the Principal of the school they desire to attend. R. J-. Peel. Supt. * rr ~~ r —Are you a Chuloo?
