SCRUBS WIN AGAIN
Defeat the Strong carrOltOn Team in a
Hard Fought Game.

Ina game of football Saturday
afternoon, the Wentworth Military
academy second team defeated the
C%arrollton high school, by a score of
10 to 0. The game was one OF the
hardest fought on the local field this
season. Carrollton played a snappy
game, but the Wentworth men had
the advantage in skill.
The Carrollton backs tried and
tried to buck the line, but
generally failed to gain. The cadets
we're especially good on offence and
made CONSTANT gains The game
was full Of fumbling, and penalties
were frequent. The star player for
C~arrollton was Riley, whose long
forty-fve yard punts prevented
Wentworth from scoring more.
Campbell the plucky little quarter
back for the c diets, was easily the
star for the scrubs. He went into
the game with a bad arm as the re-
suit of the Kemper game. He made
several long runs from the quarter
back position for IS and 40 yards.
Barnette, Jepson aud Wilmot we're
other star performers for the cadets.
Barnett prevented Carrollton from
scoring in the last II seconds Of play
Forward passes were frequently
used and usually for gains.

KLIOMANS BEAT EuTERPEANS
In First Match Game of Basket Ball Miss
Willie Miller Stars.
BY A SPECTATOR.

At Lexington College Sat urday
the basket ball teams of tie
Klionian and E%uterpean Literary
Societies met in a most exciting and
holly contested game.
The goals we're decorated in society
colors and pennants.
The Klionians we're on the field
ready to meet their team with their
colors, yells and songs, but we're
forestalled by the E~uterpeans, who
met the contestants with a stretcher
"For Disabled Klios' and conducted
them to the field With Euterpean
songs. However, the Klionians met
this demonstration with enthusiastic
cheering which fully made up for
lost time.
From the time the ball was put up
in the center there was intensest ex-
citement, and the closest plying on
both sides. The teams were so even
" matched that the ball few from
one end of the field to the other with
out either being able to score, until,
in the latter part of the half, Lena
Griffith threw a basket for the
Klionians, and when time was called
the score was still 2 to 0,
Between halves the Euterpeans
formed aletter Z in the middle of the
field and scattered confetti, so that
when they marched OFF they left the
letter in the society colors.
For the second half Mildred Johns
ton, who had guarded for the Euter-
peans, exchanged positions with
Lucille Vaughan, who was playing
center. The change proved advanta-
geous, for the Euterpeans succeeded
in making two baskets Immediately.
When the Klionians tied the score
the excitement was at it's highest
pitch, and when they forged ahead
another point by a free throw, the
crowd burst into one wild cheer
Anna Clay Peace made the mex
! basket for the Ruterpeans, and the
score remained Q to 8 in their favo.
until, in the last seven minutes o
play, the Klios threw two baskets AM
won the game.
Although both teams played on eS
ceptionally fine game the most re
!, markable playing, perhaps, was don
by Willie Miller, the Klionian center
This was the first of a series O
three games between these tw
n socities and It is hoped that Their
win be as large a crowd in %attendanc
n at the next two as was present Sat
/ urday.

ALBERT LOOMS DEAD
Young Man Gives Up Life After Hard
Struggle With Typhoid Fever.

Struggle With Typhoid fetef.
Albert Duane LOOMS died Fri
day a fternoon at 4;45 at the home of
his parents, Mr.. aud Mrs. ST LOOMS
on College hill. His death was after
a hard struggle with typhoid fever
For the past month he has been III;
but at first thought be had only ma
larial fever, with which he had been
troubled for several years. On Nov.
u, however, the fever was so violent
that he was compelled to go to bed.
1t was then discovered that he had
contracted a severe case of typhoid
fever and hope for his recovery was
soon given up. All week he had been
expected to die at any moment, but
he held to life with remarkable cour
age and fortitude. Yesterday morn
ing he showed a slight gain in
strength; but a relapse soon followed
and he sank away rapidly until life
was extinct.
Albert was the second son Of Mr..
and Mrs. J +. Loomis, the Oldest hav-
ing died in infancy. he was born
June 8, 1888 at Chippewa Falls, Wis
consin and came here when child
with his parents. He was educated
and reared in Lexington. At an
early age he united with the local
Presby terian church. For some time
/, he has had charge of the official
! scales in the city hall. BE was a
young Liam of exemplary habits, In
Z dustry and integrity, esteemed, hon
? ored and thoroughly liked by all who
3 knew him. 1t is no wonder, then,
: that he was 10th to leave this life,
r which 10 its broader sense was just
opening up to him. To mortal minds
it seems stranre that a Just and in
finite Being should choose to remove
$ one 50 young. SO ambitious, SO prom

P friends of the dead boy can do is bow
in submission and say, "Thy will be

GOOD ROADS SOCIETY
An Enthusiastic Meeting at iigginsviIe
Last Saturday.

Loctc dtuiO1Js
The meeting of the Good Roads
Society IN Higginsville Saturday was
attended by about sixty or seventy
people. Considerable interest was
shown and a desire to know and un-
derstand the various sections of the
new road law was prevalent, but as
no definite program was presented
the meeting resolved itself into an
experience meeting. The ways and
means of collecting poll tax seemed
to have rested heavily upon the
hearts ana minds of the speakers
Parts If articles land XIII Of the
new law was read and discussed,
Overseers recited their experience
in getting the necessary laborers and
teams for the accomplishment
of the work. Some were successful
in eliciting the maximum amount
of labor from the residents Of
their districts; others we're not.
One thing above all others, the
meeting was productive of, viz. Very
few understood the new law and the
method by which the most good car
be derived from its enactment.
A resolution was passed to have th'
executive committee make out
definite program for their next meet
ing, Saturday December 18th in Hig
%ginsville.
In the mean time an effort will b
made to get copies Of the new law i
every road district in the county
The officers of the society win max
every effort to get up an interestin
program and every one who make
use of the highways of the count
should not fail to attend. Remembe
the date, Saturday, December 2Sth.

EAST WALL FALLS IN.
stiff Breeze Lays Low One Side of
Remans-No One Hurt.

Remains-No One Hurt.
The east wall of the east wing of
the high school building fell before a
stiff breeze yesterday noon, adding an
exclamation point to the objections ut
tered by those opposed to utilizing the
old walls in rebuilding the high school
The wall fell forward to the east at
1920 p. M, at time when two or
three children were playing near the
building. No damage to surrounding
property resulted.
DR.. p. H. Salter, member of the
board of education. and G. P. Parish
republican nominee for the board, had
stood under the wall not twenty min
utes before it fell. Both had been
making careful inspection Of the
building and were forced to shudder
at the narrow margin of their escape
The east wall was taken down by
reason of an unprotected gable stand.
ing exposed to the strong south wind
j. G. Stitt passed by the building short
| ly after the wall went down. He said
that bare walls did not offer great re-
Instance to the wind and that Embraced
walls in new buildings were liable to
go down before a strong wind. Mr..
Stitt had previously pronounced the
tower in the building unsafe and he
said yesterday that the gable in the
west wing might topple over if the
wind continued. Members of the
board of education stationed a special
policeman at the school to warn the
public away from the building.
While the spectacular effect of the
falling wall is pretty sure to be a fac
tor of influence in the situation, COM
petent authorities state that the mere
| fact that the wall fell before a strong
wind does not bear one way or the
other on the strength of the standing
walls. 1t is said that the same thing
would have occurred if the roof and
floors of the building had been care
| fully removed without a fire. The
leverage that the wind has on a bare
wall is great. In this connection Mr..
| Stitt advises the board to have the
upper portion of the building removed
at once if the lower walls are to be
saved. A strong wind in the right di-
rection will take down the west gable
carrying considerable part of the
lower wall with it, as was the case
| yesterday.
