Boiling Springs Fans Look For A Fast Football Eleven At Baptist School This Fall Expert Blainrv Racklry To Build A Winner. Start Training In August* (By RE.VN BRIM) Out Bolling Springs way and among alumni of thr Baptist school all over thl* srrtlon thr word now la that there will he some lively football played by the eleven representing thr Bap tist junior college this fall. And the news, naturally, sounds Interesting hereabouts. Last year without doubt the Bap tist college had some of the best appearing football materia! in tin section of the state and the grid fans, somewhat isolated from col lege play in this section, sat up and took interest. Perhaps It wouldn't be long until Boiling Springs would be playing Lenoir-Rhyne. Guilford fend the smaller colleges with some ftf the games coming to Shelby? But, for some reason or the other. THE PERSON WHO HAS NOTHING Is Usually The One Who Does AH The Damage. Yout Only Safe guard is Insurance With CHAS. A. HOEY the team failed to tome through. It looked good when it trotted on the field. Rig and lucky Fast-moving, too. Yet it failed to win conslstent ly, arid football fans like all other fans like a winner. I’erklng l p. Hoiiea hare revived, however, nnd a Ireativ the old quarterbacks and tackle who played at Wake Forest and el: cwhere nre getting keyed up lor what Bolling Springs may have on the gridiron this fall. And it must be said that the outlook is rosy. First of till, Dlaitey Rackley, per i Itaps the smartest little backfleld man who ever wore the Demon Deacons uniform at Wake F'orest has been employed to coach the Baptist eleven. Rackley, it is said, will have the material, nnd the Bolling Springs alumni, especially the old Wnke Forest grads, believe •he will deliver. Start In August. That Rackley means to exert himself to put Ills coaching rep and l the school on the map the first year is evinced by the fact that he has already sent word to the boys who will be bark next year to get out to the college by late August so that he can start training early. And that was one trouble with the Junior college outfit last, fall—It didn't get in good condition until ft was time to play basketball. Oak Ridge Here. Of particular Interest to Shelby fans Is the announcement that the fast. Oak Ridge prep school eleven will play the Junior Baptists In Shelby again this fall. If Rackley delivers, that should be a pigskin party worth missing some ol the big games for. Boys Back. Just how many of the huskies who played for Coach Hammett last fal will be back this fall Is not known as yet, but a big portion of the squad will be there, it is under stood. Certainly It is known Buck Coble, former Shelby High Star and 6 6 6 Is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Hilious Fever and Malaria.

Alabama, Ag*-ffrrslJ naturally turned to the long distance operators. "^>rv knew from experience that the telephone service would not fail if loyalty, courage and human ingenuity could maintain it. The story of what happened is told in this letter from Harry C. Frye, assistant managing editor of the paper: May I express the appreciation of the Birmingham Age Wrr*Ld for the one hundred per cent cooperation and effec tiveness of tbe long distance service during the southern Alabama flood disaster.... In twenty-five years’ experience in the newspaper business I have found that I can meet a ed overcome most any difficulty in gathering news beyond the local borders simply by turning the responsibility over to the telephone operators. They have never failed me, and in tbe flood crisis your operators performed not only true to form, but met and overcame new problems with an inge nuity that is beyond all understanding of a humble news paper man.” The telephone organization appreciates this tribute which encourages them in their determination that service shall pot fafl. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE and Telegraph Compaaj Beilin# Springs captain lust year, will be back at his tackle post. Then the two Moore Boys, Buck and Zeb, a tackle and a guard equal to any who perform for the larger colleges of the state, will more than likely return. Hope Is that Cleve Cline, former end and bark at Shelby High and last year an end at the Junior college, will return. if lie does it may be that he will be shifted to fullback to replace the hard-hitting Thompson. Champion will be one ol the mainstays who will return to the barkfleld and the (donated Haynes Is expected to be back on one end. Alter all the Bolling Springs fans may have some of their expectations realized before Santy totes his sack around again.

Mr. Bost telegraphs from Eliza beth City, of President Lee Weath ers of the Ptpss association; "fish so frtsh from the Pasquotank river that, they were still wiggling when they hit the frying pan"; "four miles into the country to eat freshly-caught fish," "the fish frv on the river bank was the event of the day." Doggone, that is what comes of sending a political and theological expert to do an im portant news story. Fish? Fish? What kind of fish, man? It will occasion no surprise if Mr. Bost, instead of supplying the information essential to his story, should reply that what was good enough in narrative style for the holy evangelistic chroniclers, cit ing Matthew 14. Luke 5, Luke 9. Mark 6. Is good enough for him. If we did not know that all these stories were inspired, we'd say they are defective, from a news point of view. Not to mention Jonah. Of course, if Jonah had not been inspired to be so vague in his ichthyology, while the reams and volumes of argument thus pro voked would have avoided, there might nevertheless have been quite as much argument if he had, for instance, declared it was a whale that used him as bait. But it would have been much more satisfactory if he had gone ahead and told exactly what fix he was in. There is this to be said for Jonah, how ever: never having been in the same predicament before, he could not be expected to identify the predicament, and it is quite pos sible he did not see what happened to him before it happened—or for that matter, after.

SICK STOMACH First Trial of Black-Draught Convincing, Says Lady, Who Escaped Suffering By Taking it, Jackson, Miss.—"My first experi ence with Black-Draught convinced me that It was a good medicine,” says Mrs. Ida Kersh, 311 South Con gress Street, this city, who says she has taken Black-Draught for years. “My trouble,” writes Mrs. Kersh, "was sick headache which seemed to be caused by constipation. I used to have a thick, slimy taste In my mouth, and such a tired, bad feeling. This would be followed by headache and sick stomach. I would have to stop my work and go to bed. "I read about Black-Draught and decided to try it I found that by taking the Black-Draught In time, I could ward off these sick spells. "And so for the* last twenty years, when I feel the least bit bad, I take Black-Draught and feel that It has saved me much pain and sickness.” Constipation dams up poisons In the bowels, where they are absorbed Into the general system, causing many serious symptoms. Thousands of letters of praise from users of Thedford’s Black Draught, on file at the laboratories where Black-Draught Is made, tes tify to the high esteem In which It Is held for the relief of consti pation and attendant Ills.
