MAKE YOUR HOME IN CANTON, LOCATED IN THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN NORTH C AROLINA-THE LAND OF THE SKY THE CANTON ENTERPRISE Published in the South's Greatest Pulp and Paper Town. VOLUME 22. CANTON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY JULY 16,1926. NUMBER 28. Forfeit Game Gives The Canton League Leadership Canton Holds First Place In Independent League With Average of 611 For 18 Games Played. Weaver- ville Forfeits Game Wednesday 9 toO. While Riverview was standing ilde owing to no scheduled game, Canton was patiently waiting for Weaver- ville to make its appearance on the Canton diamond last Wednesday afternoon and Canton won an easy forfeit game 9-0, as the result of Weaverville neglecting to carry out the schedule as drawn up by the league officials. The game was scheduled to be played at 4:15 P. M. and at 4:30 the game was called but Weaverville was not there to answer hence Canton stepped into first place in the Independent League. This was Weaver- ville's second failure to carry out their schedule with Canton. Some of their players attending a funeral was given for the reason of the team's non-appearance Wednesday. The first game they did not play with Canton was also forfeited and the reason for their not playing was that time was that not enough players could be gotten together to make a team. In an interview with the sport department of the Asheville Citizen Wednesday night in regard to the League standing, the writer was informed that the exact standing of all the clubs could not be printed because of two of the teams recent withdrawal from the league. It is an evident fact, however, that with Canton having two forfeit games to their credit that they are now leading the league with an average of 611.

North Carolina produces some fine apples and experts here believe that it should be a very profitable crop. But, in all the reports on fruit growing, the state is never listed as an important factor. The apple growers could get better recognition and more advertising if they were to make a drive for it. The Blowing Rock, Waynesville and Roaring Gap sections produce excellent apples. Taylorville, the town that Capt Thos. Rowland, of the Southern Railway, made famous, is on the edge of a great apple region. The western part of the state has other communities that are famous locally for the flavor and quantity of the fruit produced. i a bulletin on apples, the Department of Agriculture points out hat Americans are improving as producers and consumers. "Although consumption of apples the United States is less than the proverbial 'apple a day' averageing about three apples a week per cap- the American people lead the world as apple eaters," the depart- ent asserts. North Carolina apples are given credit for their rich quality, and gh rank in flavor. "Three states—New York, Michigan and Virginia," it is pointed out, "produce nearly one-haif of the average commercial crop in the, v,ellajn crop varieties" of the barreled-apple region are Baldwin and Rhode Island Greening in the North; York Imperial and Winesap and Ben Davis and Jonathan in the West. Leading Fall kinds are Oldenberg, Wealthy and Mcintosh. "Cold storage, in most sections, has largely superseded common storage for long-keeping of market apples. Sometimes over one-fourth of the commercial apple crop is reported in cold storage at the height of the season. Barreled apples compose a»out half the average stock in cold stor- S.S. AIM. E Rev. J.

Owing to the proximity of this church to the highway, I could scarcely hear anything the preacher said on account of the constant roar of autos passing so near the open windows. While sitting there and trying to hear what the preacher ! was saying, 1, thought of paraphras- j ing an old Sunday School song and | make it read something like this: "When the holy day has come, And the autos begin to run, People delight to leave their home For a day's deviltry and fun."
