Elizabeth City slaved another walkover Thursday afternoon to the tune of 12 to 4. defeating a team nald to be from Norfolk. Saunders, w ho pitched Edenton to victory twicti against Elizabeth City,., mighr have made it an interesting game had he consented to pitch from the-start. Iiut the young twlrler did not take the mound until the fifth frame after the locals had made t?*n snf.-tie* ofr Wright and 12 runs. .Sainid.-rs is feellnu far a position on t . 1^z.ib tli Ciiy rW< -ll!? .?MU mi d*'ntl^didn't want to lose his rep with Weak support behind him. Any way It was getting dark when he* took the box and he held the homers lilt less with his hard straight ball. The visitors landed only two safe ties from Evans' delivery and "Snooks" punched 10 men, whiffing ?the hard hitting Saunders twice. Ev ans hasn't had a chance against a strong team since Edenton played here in the last game. With games > scheduled for every day next week' the home town twlrler may have an opportunity against a strong team if rainy weather does not hold off sev eral of the games. Features of the game for the vis itors was Rosenthal's chase to left field for Shlpp's fly in the seventh Inning and Saunders two base drive to left field. Long hitting featured the game for the locals. Hood and Abbott took a two-base hit each and Shipp made a three-base safety. Uallentlne made two hits out of three api>earances.

Prlvott, situat ed on Freemason street next to the Norfolk and Southern railroad was struck by lightning Wednesday af lernoon about 3:30 and gave a severe sliock to all in the neighborhood when the bricks from the chimney caved in on the porch. The bolt struck the chimney stjuar?> off with the corner of the roof and all the brick fell on the north side causing a loud noise and attracted the at-1 tention of all the neighbors to the ?ecne. The lightning traveled the roof to the corner hoard and tore the shin gles from the corner board and all the way across the top. but it appears 1 ? that the structure was a bulls eye target for the holt as it continued to travel horizontally Instead of go ing Into the ground.
