Drought Broken Wednesday brought a "most de lightful change in the weather. The thermometer which had re gistered 100 degrees the day pre vious rapidly slipped downward, while the rain fell gently. It was not a hard downpour, but just a steady fall for hours without the breaking up of such a dry spell. Everything felt refreshed and far mers ceased to have lines about their brpws and smiles were more in evidence. The draught has damaged corn, perhaps, more than one has realized, but a change may be able to repair a large per cent of lit. Cotton and peanuts are not showing the effects tsJ such marked degree. In the town there has been no scarcity of water yet, but many wells are -low. Mnch more rain is needed to fully kill out the effects of the dry weather.

J. Riddick near the A. C. L. Bridge over the creek, were fishing, some one coming up the stream in a boat fired a gun ami the shot entered the limbs of , Mr-. Hopewell. Drs. York and Saunders were summoned hastily and found that the woman was not seriously wounded. There is a suspicion that a negro thinking that he was looking at a bear fired where Mrs. Hopewell was sitting on the banks and wounded her. , Upon seeing his mistake he hur- , riedly left, being afraid of the con sequences, perhaps.

The only games won were the double headers at Tarboro. ' The two best games weie played at Aurora, and though they were lost by a small margin and through errors at a critical.time, the treat ment accorded them by the Aurora team aided by the citizens of the town, lessened the disappointment over the games. The Aurora boys j play ball Xnd are clever to the co e. 1 The people in that section are 1 among the finest in the East and it ' is indeed a land flowing with milk j 'and honey Every man 011 the I j Williamston team is loud in his I praise of the splendid hospitality of I the Aurora folks. The Aurora bovs arrived here 0111 the 1 :io train Monday. Thegainej was called at 4:30 at the race track j park. In the first three innings I " J the visitors won the game, the j locals seemingly takiug especial I delight iu making as many errors as'possible. After that the game was more interesting, only one run bt-ing score 1 by the visitors. Tuesday afternoon the fight was j waged again. Williamston with a I different line-up went in to win, ! the same spirit animated the visi tors Every man on both teams ' played ball, and old ball fans say J that it WHS the finest exhibition ever seen here The locals were ! up against the best amateur team in the East and the victory was not an ea-y one. First game: R ; H E Williamston, 3 2 , S' Aurora, . .... 9 8 5 Batteries: Ward an I Stubbs, I Ho'liday and Thomp:-ou. Umpire, i Harrell. Time of game, 1 hour an 150 minutes, Attendance, 250.

Subscribe to THE ENTERPRISE Farmville Jubilant Well, we have been having some base ball, too. Our team went to] Wiiliimston and brought tb'j game I hi me with them. Pinetops was here Tuesday with her first nine line. The homt? boys proved to be too swift for them aud sent: them home with the sad term' •'lost" 5 to 2. Williamston was here on our; diamond yesterday. No doubt they j longed to be elsewhere before our I "boys stopped crossing the home! plate. The home boys played in fine form and in the end y had crossed ' the home plate, while the visitors ! played hard, they all made costly j errors, and in the end only 1 had ! reached home, and he would have l been out but for a wild throw 011 j the part of one of the home boys j Farmville News. Thus writes the Farmville cor-: respondent of the Greenville Re flector. It is refreshing in these! days in which one is continually J on stewing, to have some diver sion, and the team from William ston, though greatly handicapped by the absence of the regular twirler and the fact that a double header had been played at Tarboro the day previous, furnished much pleasure to that portion cf Greater Pitt. The home team though de feated is not dismayed, and never tven kicked against the strength ening of the F,armviHe team by four of players. s[.oo a Year in Advance ROBERSONVILLE NEWS ITEMS Local happenings and People who are Coming and Going, Here, There and Yonder as Gathered by our Regular Corres pondent.
