Randall, The league that included the North Wilkesboro Flashers, Galax Leaves, Lenoir Oilers, Elkin Blanketeers, and the Saltville Alkalies in the 1950's-1960's was known as the "Burley Belt League". Many former members of the Tar Heel League & Blue Ridge League.
The Alkalies, folded in 1967. Surprisingly, quite a lot of info on the web about this semi-pro league.... here's one....

Here's an obit that gives a pretty good summary of the Lenoir Oilers & pitcher Jay Knight's past; including name changes by the team and in the league in your time frame, etc.
