Chris tenbury in charge: Ralph Swain, Louis Ward Alexander, Onward Leggett, Colon Overton, Luther Gurkin, Ran some Martin, Barton Woodley, Rod ney Harrison, Thurlow Spruill, Bob bie Cahoon, Leroy Bateman, C. C. Waters, Harry Stillman, Mike Ata manchuk, Bill Jackson, Hubert Wa ters, Louis Weede, Jack Getsinger, and Eugene Overton. Others include: Charles Jackson, Beverly Newberry, Aubrey Liverman, Roscoe Downing, Shelton Ange, Louis Trice, Eston Sawyer, Rudolph Don aldson, Irving Respass, Hoyt LeFever, Wilson Bowen, Murrell Bowen, How ard Poteat, Joe Newberry, and Bob Conklin. -$ About 35 girls are making the trials this week in an effort to land a berth on the basketball team of the Ply mouth High School. They will be charge of Coach Christenberry, with E. H. Hicks assisting. The girls are Eliza Hampton, Mar garet Ayres, Lyda McGee, Emily Lu cas, Margaret Hooker, Tillie Styons, Louise Tctterton, Naomi Weede, Haz el Martin, Hazel Burgess, Helen Co burn, Etta Williams, Edna Ayres, Virginia Norman, Martha Bateman, Louise Duvall, Martha Chopic and Sarah Cahoon. Others are Clyde Edwards, Edith Robertson, Mary Hazel Burgess, Ot trice Allen, Hazel Simpson, Emily Gray Hardison, Margaret Stubbs, Viv ian Sykes, Ailcen Browning, Clara Belle Styons, and Mertie Watson. -4, Athletics this term, especially bas ketball, in the Plymouth High School will be of the intra-mural kind. In other words, there will be a rivalry among the classes for the best com petitors, which will reveal to the coach the best players that will comprise the varsity. The varsity will schedule only about eight or ten games this term. These games and their dates will he made known later. In the meantime the body-building work goes onward as the classmen and girls continue their friendly rivalry. -3> Maybe the name of Tillie Styons, who will go out for the varsity bas ketball team, will be in print often in this column. This should be so if she makes the team. By the way, her name reminds one of the toiling girl that has a pal in Mack in the daily comic strips. The work of Hoyt LeFever in his trials for the varsity will be watched with interest by the editor of the Beacon and News. It never occurred to him that some other person would be burdened with the name “Hoyt.” The LeFever boy’s first name is a handicap. But then, the editor has struggled a number of years with his middle name being “Hoyt.” -® The sports paragrapher will watch with interest the work of E. H. Hicks and Coach Christenbury with these basketball aspirants. It is hoped that a strong team can be built up. It was a close game Friday when the Wilson All-Stars nosed out a 6 to 0 victory over the Plymouth All Stars. Pig Owens started a drive in the final minutes that looked like a sure touchdown for Plymouth. A bad pass and fumble resulted in Plymouth losing the ball only three yards from the goal. Quarterback Owens found that spinning would aid him to gain ground. This was good work, too. He start ed a determined march from the cen ter of the field, following a trick play that gave a Plymouth boy who was 'aying near the side lines a good end BILIOUS H “I have used Black Draught . . . and have not found anything that, could take Its place. I take Black Draught for bilious ness. When I get bili ous, I have a nervous headache and a ner vous, trembling feeling that unfits me for my work. After I take a few doses of Black Draught, I get all right. When I begin to get bilious, I feel tired and run-down, and then the headache and trembling. But Black-Draught re lieves all this.”—b. o. Hendrix, HomerviUe, Oa, For Indigestion, con stipation, biliousness, take b.i7i Thed fords BLACK' DRAUGHT Women who need a tonic should take Cardux. Used over BO years. I run for 25 yards. The Plymouth ma chine was working so good that the Wilson boys called time-out three times in order to break the grind. Red Rogers for Wilson took the ball 15 yards when his interference opened up a hole in the Plymouth line for him and ended the run with a touchdown. They failed in attempt for the extra point. Bush Harrell did well for Plymouth in the backfield. Lightweight Charlie Mizelle did well at center. -® The Plymouth All-Stars will engage Edenton in the Chowan County cap ital Friday afternoon. A number of people are expected to accompany the squad. Pig Owens will captain the squad. Correspondenets for the Beacon and News and any others are urged i to send us sport news for this de i partment from week to week. -S If guarantees were not so steep and j other matters not so acute, it possibly I would be a good idea to stage a char j ity football game for the aid of the unemployed and needy in Washington County. This game could be arranged in some other town with a division in the receipts, or it could be played here. Tickets could be sold to those who wished to contribute but could not attend. The net proceeds could be turned over to the welfare work ers in Washington County. Duke is rated high in Big Five foot ball in the State. But State beat them Saturday, 14 to 0, in an upset. The University of North Carolina will meet Duke Saturday. I am putting my money on Carolina. Even ready to spot a touchdown. But no one knows. The forecasters picked Duke last Saturday. Hold your money and spend your coupons. -<j> PROFIT FRO** GRASS FED TO BEEF CATTLE Tests Made in Eastern Car olina Show Value of Pasturage With the curtailment of cotton and i tobacco acreage, new areas are rcleas | ed for planting to pasture grasses. Such grasses will furnish grazing for lie,.? cattle and give an added income to landowners. “In one of the tests which we made with beef cattle in eastern North Car ! olina this past summer, we found that an ordinary pasture of carpet grass, lespedeza and white clover paid the owner excellent returns through the 1 grazing of beef cattle,” says L. I. Case, animal husbandman at State College. ”E. E. Bell, of Jones county, had eleven acres of this kind of pas ture, which he planted a few years ago. Twenty-six head of cattle grazed on this eleven acres from June 8 until September 8, and with no supplemen tary feed of any kind gained 2,960 pounds. This amounts to 269 pounds |an acre. At five cents a pound, this is worth $13.45.” In other words, says Mr. Case, the owner received $13.45 an acre for the three months. There are thousands of COTTONSEED MEAL IS GOOD FEED FOR PIGS -»-' Experiments Recently Con ducted by Authorities Of State College When cottonseed meal is mixed with fish meal as a part of the ration fed; to fattening pigs, better gains at lower’ costs arc made than when the fish meal; is fed alone as the protein carrier, “Experiments which we have made; at the North Carolina Experiment! Station show that fish meal containing 55 per cent protein is slightly better for fattening pigs than tankage con taining 60 per cent protein. Then when equal parts of cottonseed meal is mixed with this fish meal as a sup plement to corn, the mixture is super ior to the fish meal alone," says Earl II. Hostetler, in charge of animal hus bandry research at State College. “Since we secured these good results by mixing fish meal and cottonseed meal we decided to mix the cotton jseed meal with tankage and see what results would be obtained.” Forty-seven pigs, weighing 85 'pounds each, were selected for the test. They were divided into three groups and fed for 77 days in the self -feeders. In group 1 were 29 pigs, 'which were fed white shelled corn, fish I meal, one-half, and cottonseed meal, one-half, with mineral. In group 2 were 28 pigs which received the same feed except that 40 per cent tankage was substituted for the fish meal. The pigs in group 1 gained 394 pounds more than those in group 2. The first group consumed 15,517 pounds of feed as compared with 14, 863 for the second group, yet the to tal feed required to produce 100 pounds of gain was only 399 pounds in group 1 as compared with 425 pounds in group 2. The first group of pigs gave a profit over all feed costs of $1.53 a pig as against $1.51 for the tankage group. Therefore, sajys Mr. JHoStetler, if the tankage had cost $39,10 a ton, in stead of the $40 it did cost, the profit would have been the same in each group. The increased gains in group 1 would have been offset by the low er cost of animal protein in group 2. Red Deer Valley, in Alberta, Can., where many fine specimens of pre historic animals have been unearthed, is, with the exception of the Mongolia field, in China, the world’s greatest fossil territory. Mice completely destroyed the $250 jin bills which Phillip Boudreau, of j Halifax, Nova Scotia, had hid in an j old oak chest for safe keeping.

Angus D. MacLean Disclaims Possessing Any Gubernatorial Aspirations At Present Time BEAUFORT MAN IS FAVORITE WITH MANY IN STATE Brummitt’s Withdrawal Is Said To Have Brought MacLean To Front (Williamston Enterprise) “No; I'm not an aspirant to the gov ernorship,” Hon. A. D. MacLean, Beau fort County representative, answered when questioned yesterday following the release of a State news story stat ing that the withdrawal of Dennis G. Brummit's name as a consideration in the Democratic state-wide primary for governor next June has brought with in the past 48 hours the personality of Representative Angus Dhu Mac Lean into the forefront. “Not a candidate, now?” was the next question asked of Mr. MacLean as he left the courthouse here late yesterday, where he had quietly, per sistently, and patiently tried a law suit. “No; not now,” -was the reply, and he had very little comment to offer in return for the numerous questions asked of him. When he was addressed in the court house yesterday afternoon by an En terprise reporter as “Governor,” Mr. MacLean said the salutation was very pleasing, but when a copy of the Greensboro Daily News, the paper in which Tom Bost said that the with drawal of Attorney General Brummitt brought the personality of Represen tative MacLean to the fore, was shown him, the Beaufort solon as sumed a more serious attitude, stat ing that he had heard nothing what ever of the story and that he had noth ing to say at the present. During the long legislature session of this year, Mr. MacLean came to the front as a wise and able man. He is remembered as the man who so persistently and ably led the fight to relieve land and physical property of heavy tax burden carried so long. The news article appearing Monday had a dual purpose apparently. One, was to tell the folks that Josephus Daniels is politically dead and if nom inated 75,000 “blue-gum” Democrats ’ would not support him because they do not understand his democracy.! There seems to be a strain of sympa- j thy for the Ehringhaus boom. And then the statement is made that Mr. MacLean hopped into the j companionship of the big men in the past two sessions of the general as sembly, and on account of his cham pionship of the bill proposing the abo lition of the ad valorem tax he got himself handsomely placed. Mr. MacLean, while saying he is not a candidate for governor, would be acceptable as such by voters found in all classes of citizens who know his ability and his rugged honesty.
