Darkness kept the game from going into extra innings, and another tie game was recorded in the annals of the local league. The Cub had first turn at bat.

The Klks fail ed to get next to Dixon's delivery dur ing the iir.-t two innings. In their half of the second, the Cubs gained their second run. though with the bases full and one man down it look ed worse than one run against the Elks for a time.

Tim distance from Edentou to the Virginia line is 411 mill's, the cost has been esi mated by reliable engineer.- at around :f2r.iiil0 per mile, totaling 1 .22.".. mill for the 49 miles.

Mr. Saunders iiidies what he calls tai ls and figures dexterously, but lr. Saunders knows just what to bring out and what lo leave out. He tells you that approximately $1,700,000 lias been allot ted to North Carolina from Ihe Federal Aid Fund during tin' last five years. Hi' says nothing about what we are likely to get dur ing tin' next five years with ample Stale funds to meet it. He also loaves the inference that Ihe allot I men t of this Federal Fund is pro rata for counties and on this basis ligures that the counties in this district would get. ahum . 7T..oiMi.

The (ieneral Assembly will probably au thorize this issue North Carolina is going to have betier highways. If the funds derived from this bond issue are allotted the counties pro rata il would give each county one half million dollars, making two and oiii'-half million dollars for the five counti',; comprising this distrct. It will, however, not be allotted pro rata to the counties, but this district witli llie proper influence at work should get at leant a million and a half dollars from this fund should it become available.
