BASKET Ball Easily Won.

The Carolina basketball five fell an
easy prey to the Davidson team Tues
day at the fair grounds. The final
score was 30 to s in favor OF the
Presbyterians, who made most OF
their points on ieil goals. Carolina $
eight points were gained on foul goals.
She failed to make a single goa:

In spite of the score the contest be-
tween the North and South Carolln-
ians was an interesting one. The
field goal throwing Of MeDuffie and
Miles was spectacular at times. They
tossed tile ball into the basket from
seemingly impossible positions and
did the star work for the visitors.
Capt. McClintock CT Davidson made a
field goal from near the middle OF the
field. The visitors were much Strong

ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO PROS
ECUTED THE NIGHT RIDERS
TALKS PLAINLY.
Says That Reversing Such An Import

Travesty On Justice.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July Elm a
statement published today. Attorney
General Caldwell, who prosecuted and
convicted the night riders at Union
City Tenn, several months ago and
whose cases were reversed by the SUI
preme court last Saturday, scores the
members of that tribunal for their de-
cision. Among other things General
Caldwell says:
Il would not complain if they had
gone into the facts of the case and had
seen proper to say that the facts did
not warrant conviction, but for
them to reverse so important a case on
mere technicalities, occurs to me as
being a travesty on justice. They
had complete record before them.
Defendants guilty? If not go into the
facts and say SO and l would be the
last one to complain, but in the name
of justice, let no guilty one escape
because of flyspecks.
Il may be wrong, but in my opinion
these three judges have committed a
judicial blunder, such as has not oc-
Cured for hundred years in Tennes-

day for Albany, where he will take
part in the Ter-Centenary Champlain
celebration. An incident occurred on
the trip this morning which until it
was explained, was the cause of much
excitement. 1t seems that while
passing through Stamford chunk
of coal crashed through window in
the car occupied by the President, AMI
at first it was supposed that it WAS
the work of some miscreant The train
men, however, offered the very rea-
sonable explanation that the coal,
falling off the tender of an engine
which the special was passing, was
carried by the suction of the train
into the PRESIDENTS car.

YOUNG BOY SAVED

A GOOD CAUSE

The Salvation Army's outing for

city is scheduled for Friday next at
Rawls Springs, and. it S hoped that
every poor mother and child who is
not able to enjoy a brief vacation at
ther own expense, will be enabled 10
take advantage of this opportunity.
Captain Belcher has been solicit
ing contributions for this purpose for
the past month, and so far has ssc-
ceeded but indifferently; but as the
time draws near and the extreme
warm weather impresses upon the
mind of each individual the necessity
for relaxation and a brief surcease
from the toll and worry incident to
the lives of those even who are in po-
sition to provide recreation for them
selves, it is believed and sincerely
hoped that the contributions will be
more liberal.
Those poor mothers and children
can be given delightful day of rec
reation at but small expense to any
| individual, and the benefit to man.
of them may prove of inestimable
value, furnishing renewed strength
and vitality for the continuation o
the toll and drudgery incident to th'
lives of the unfortunate.

OSCAR sMlTHWIck AGAIN IN JAIL

Sheriff ]. c Magruder returne,
Saturday night from Los Angeles
Cal, having in custody Oscar Smith
wick, who was apprehended by ths
chief of police of that city some three
weeks ago.
1t Will be remembered that Smith.
wick escaped from the county farm
several months ago, and Deputy Sher.
iff McGilvray has been verv diligep+
since that time in investigating clues
, as to his whereabouts, and never de-
SPARED of finally landing his man.
Notices of the escape together with
descriptions of the fugitive were
mailed to sheriffs and police depart
ments all over the country. but moth
ing was heard of Smithwick until he
was finally located in Lis Angeles
when Sheriff Magruder was advised
by the chief of police of that city that
the runaway was in custody there.
oherlft Magruder feels very much
gratified over the result of the in.
vestigations which resulted in the cap,
ture of Smithwick, and it is a fact
that very few prisoners who escape
from the Forrest county farm are
allowed to remain at large for an ex.
tended period of time.

NO RELIEF YET
FOR MRS. CROSBY
SEEMS THAT YOUNG WOMAN
WILL HAVE TO REMAIN IN
CONFINEMENT.
All Efforts To Secure Bail Have APP
parentIy Failed, and Case Will
Have To Be Tried in the
Circuit Court.

That Mrs. Minnie Jones Crosby, in
Jail to answer for the murder of ]. r.
McShann on Easte rSunday for which
crime she was indicted together with
her husband by the last grand jury,
will have to remain in prison until
the next term of circuit court, ap-
pears to be foregone conclusion, un-
less there is radical change in the
sentiment which now prevails.
Yesterday a rumor to the effect that
number of Hattiesburg citizens
would sign the young woman's bond
and that she would be liberated today
was circulated about the streets but
an investigation today failed to ver-
lfy the statement.
Since Crosby was found not guilty
of the same crime of which his wife
stands accused, it has been generally
though that the district attarney would
enter nolle prosequi in her case, and
that she would not have to stand
trial; this, of course, was merely a
| supposition, as no such statement was
given out by the district attorney or
any one connected with his office.
1t is said that number OF citizens,
acting upon this supposition, had signi-
| fled a willingness to sign the young
woman's bond. but before this was
done it was deemed prudent to con
suit District Attorney McLaurin, with
the view to ascertaining his intention
with reference to the matter. The at
torney was approached with the ques
ton as to whether or not the CASE
would be thrown out of the court
when, it is said he made a statemen
to the effect that the case would hav'
to go to trial; the fact that one prison
er was acquitted of the charge of mur
der did not necessarily signify tina
the other was innocent, and inasmucl
as they were both indicted on tht
same charge each would have to plea(
to the Indictment and let the jury de
