Barker and West play ed good defensive ball for the lo cals. Davis and Gatther proved to be real threats and did credit able work for the visitors. The boys' game was a nip and tuck affair to the end, neither team having more than a three point lead at any time during game. The Harmony lads scored first when Harmon connected the basket with a rapidly execut ed crip. This was quickly fol lowed by a beautiful corner-shot from Eidson, Elkin forward.

This time the trouble between the democratic purchasing agent and the v reublican commissioners came about because Folger re fused to sign pay warrents, al leging the county did not have the money In the bank to meet the warrants.

Airy, had made a written agreement to honor all the warrants present ed to that bank >ip to the sum of> SiO.OOO. W. T. Harkrader. accountant, was instructed to see the bank and endeavor to get a certificate of deposit from the bank to take back to Folger in order to force him to honor the warrants, but if this could not be done, to go through the routine of advertis ing for a loan to meet the bills.
