LAMP OVERTURNED IN CHURCH,
Cool Heads Prevent Panic and Flames
 Are ExttnRuiShed,

Are ExtInguished.
 Centreville, Jan. 5.--(SpeciaI) )-- County Court was in session here for two days of this week. It was a jury term, and quite a number of cases were up for trial. A number of defendants were convicted, number of cases were dismissed, and one defendant was &C., ouitted. Several forfeitures were taken against accused persons who did not appear when called. Two men will go to hard labor for the county.
 Rev. Jett T, West, who has served the Presbyterian Church as pastor for the last four years, left today for his future home In Montgomery. MT. West is young man of ability and culture, and has many friends here who regret to see him leave. His charming sister, Miss Annie West, goes with him.
 At the Methodist Church Sunday night a lamp was overturned and for a few moments 1t looked very much like there would be a serious fire. Cool heads soon had the excitement quelled and the flames were extinguished The farmers in this section are de- spondent. and business generally seems paralyzed. Some of the very best farms in this section will be Idle during the year, as the owners say that 1t will be cheaper to pay taxes on the farms than 1t will be to try to raise cotton at the present prices, The acreage in cotton in Bibb County will be reduced at least 20 per cent.

THE DEADLOCK UNBRoKEN.
No Prospect of Organization of the Del- aware LeRisIature,

Dover, Del, Jan. 5.--Both branches of the Legislature resumed balloting for presiding officers today, but the deadlock remains unbroken. After a few ballots had been taken, both houses adjourned until Il o'clock to- morrow morning.
 Efforts are being made to reconcile the Republican factions so that the Leg islature can organize.
 The opinion has been expressed by Attorney General Ward that by reason of the Legislature having assembled in special session December %, voting for United States Senator must begin on the second Tuesday after that date, which is, Tuesday, January 10.
 Republican leaders are desirous of an organization before the Senatorial con- test is formally opened as the expect ed deadlock will necessitate daily joint sessions. It is also desired to have the organization completed before the in- auguration of Governor-elect Lee, which will take place January IT.

O. A. C. WON.
But the Margin was Small-A1bany
..-.s, Basket Ban Sirls.

By score of four to three, the
OAC basket ball girls defeated the
Albany College IN a game in Col
lege Armory Thursday night. IN
less in the Seattle game last year,
no game played in the Armory ex-
cited more interest. A hundred
people came from Albany to see
the play. Enough more turned
out from Corvallis to make the
crowd a good one.
The small score tells the story of
the game. The teams were so ev-
enly matched that scoring was inn
possible. This. fact made it certain
from the opening of the play that a
bit, of good lick might throw the
result either. way, and every move
nent Of. the ball was watched with
almost breathless interest. The
anxiety Of the supporters on either
side did not end until time was cali
ed in the last half.
Albany scored the first point. It
was a basket ona foul. That wasthe
only time the visitors led. It was
only a minute or two until an OAC
gir1 threw a basket on a foul and
tied the score. Then for while
the ball surged back and forth from
one goal to the other with honors
fairly even, until Miss Harrington
threw a goal from the field and ran
OAC ssscore up to three. No more
baskets were thrown by either side
during the first half, and it closed
with the score, OAC, three; Albany
one.
Early in the second half Miss
Bussard of Albany, threw a field
goal and tied the score. The in
terest which had all along been at
high pitch, now assumed a tension
seldom seen. The excitement
seemed to possess the players, and
though they had many trial for
field goals, neither side could throw
them. At last an OAC girl sent
the ball spinning plump into the
the basket on foul and the play
gave the orange lead of four to
three, which in spite of the desper-
ate play of the Albany girls was
held until the close of the half.
The game was specially free from
Disputes and a fine spirit of good
humor was manifested by the par
tisans on both sides. The officials
were w. L. Marks of Albany and
Claud Swami of Corvallis, and the
fairness Of their decisions w as gen
orally commented on.
