The break was said not to be i bad one, but it isn't likely that he vill return to the game any time soon. Rarp and Herring came home as 'outcasts," Umpire Stevens failing to tgree with the boys when they tried 0 tell him that he had permitted a nan to walk on three balls, and out he game they went. A marked change n the line-up followed. Utile return ng to third, Brogden going to short, ind Latham taking the catehtng post ion. Oscar Anderson, jr., was in cen terfield and Troy Goodmoti on sec >nd as the result of Peters' injury. But Williamston came out 011 top tfith a 5 to 4 score, the ninth inning urnishing one of those thrillers that failed to last for the Edenton fans.

REVIEW SHOWS LAWS OF GREAT IMPORT PASSED Legislation At Recent Ses sion of Congress Affects High and Low One of the most far-reaching pro grams of legislation affecting nearly every known business in the country, and one that was designed Ln record j instances for the "forgotten man" wa> . concluded in the nation's capital this week, when the 73rd Congress ended I its session. The effects of the vast J ! legislation program will reach to this I the entire nation, ancfc while the re- I I suits may not prove perfect, it is cer . tam that President Roosevelt and I many of the legislators have made an I earnest effort to further the interest I of the masses. \ 1 A review shows many acts were {passed in the interest of agriculture, j the oppressed, the hungry, and the general business set-up of the nation. | The acts that attract more attention 'in this immediate section center a | round agrirulture. and while they might appear radical they were de signed with tlif aim to accomplish j what the farmers have failed to ac complish by voluntary cooperation. The Bankhead Cotton Bill and the Kerr Tobacco Control Bill, calling for compulsory control of the two crops, arc foremost in the agricultural program. Relief of owners of mort gaged farms, and other benefits were created in special acts. Other hills that affect the people right here include changes in tax lev ies, the government lowering the cost for the small-salaried man. Two and one-half billions of dollars were ap . propriated for the relief of the less fortunate. Aid was made possible for home owners, and the banks were made safe. Veterans had their com pensation restored, and money was shifted by the gold act and sikyer was established as a monetary reserve to deflate an expensive dollar. These ami many other hills were passed in an effort to aid a recovery program, and when the work was completed the President was declared more popular than he was in the H>32 election. JL H.
