Whitford of Askins ent be fore the Craven County Board of Com- xnissioners yesterday and asked, that the county purchase a pair of blood , hounds to be used in tracing escaped criminals. " V ; v Mr. Whitford made a strong j plea for this request to "be" granted. lYli said that during the past few years $ 'number of criminals had escaped frtyn the county jail and had liot been' cap tured on account of the fact that! the punty had no way of tracing them. Persons who commit crimes' and who are sought by the police, and county authorities also' succeed, in eluding capture on this same account, he point ed out, citing the case a few days ago -when an unknown negro attacked -W. D Stapleford.near Bridgeton and robbed him of all the money he had on his person. ' i . ''"'.' The commissioners thought favorably of Mr. Whitfprd's suggestions and his request but decided not to render a decision in the matter just at this time, intimating that they would take it up at the next meeting. ' , Prizes For Corn Club Boys.' Another matter which Mr. Whitford brought before the Board was that of the county offering some prize to the sue successful participants in the Boy's Corn Club contests. This is a matter in which Mr. Whitford is greatly in terested and he convinced th', Board that this was the proper course for them to take. The Board voted to offer two prizes of five dollars ; each township in the county to the boys who participated in' the contests and .who iid not win one of the State or National prize. Much interest is being tak;n hy the boys of Craven county in the corn club and these added prizes will tend to increase their zeal. JEORGE M. HOLT TO MANAGE HOTEL JAMES. George M.

Since the meet ing . . of representatives of different towns was held at Goldsboro a few nights -ago and the decision to - play ball this summer if two other towns could be induced vto join the league was' made, it is practically an assured fact that the command of the uirrpire to "play ball" will be heard on a locfal diamond. . ' Greenville and Kinston are being urged to come into the league. Both towns' have a number of fans: and it is understood that several of the Green ville fans have signified their willing ness to come across with a liberal amount amount of the coin necessary to' main tain a team. When it comes to a mat ter' of, clean sport, ,Kihst.on is always somewhere in the. front ranks and there is little doubt that that town can be induced to put a team in the league. ... The secretary , of the Association has written to both places and also to several other places n -this section of the State inquiring if. they would put a team in the league. . As soon as these .answers "have been received another meeting will be held' at Golds boro, probably about . the latter part of next week, the organization perfected and a schedule for the games arranged.
