The Shepherdstown Register pays
this deserved compliment to Mr.. Jas.
NJ. Mason on his retirement from the
office of Prosecuting Attorney aftev
eight years of faithful service: Mr..
Mason wisely and proparly used his
influence to discourage contentious lit
igation and to settle amicably quarrels
and disputes that might leadily have
become bitter fueds and sources of
never ending trouble. He permitted
no man TO use the prosecuting atter
ney's office as vehicle for private or
personal revenge. He himself perse-
cuted no man, and while he prosecuted
the criminal, at the same time he wes
ever ready TO give helping hand to
the tempted or fallen dis view of his
Office was an exalted one, and he must
have great satisfaction in the know
dye that while his duties We're fear
lessly and honestly performed, no man,
however humble, can rightly charge
him with being unfair or unjust. Mr..
Mason is worthy the highest approba-
ton of the people of this county,

Fast Spaulding Basket Ball
Team Won Again
DEFEATING BIG v. A. TEAM
The Local Boys Piled UP Score Of 81
to % in Their Best Game Of the
season--Spaulding Girls Won
at St. Adams.

The unbeaten Spaulding high school
basket ball team placed itself in first
position for the school championship OF
the state by defeating the strong YER
mont academy team OF Saxtons River in
the Church street gymnasium last even.
ing The score was 81 10 20. This
make Spaulding's sixth straight victory
over some of the best school teams in
the state and easily gives them more
than an even chance for the champion
ship. Vermont academy probably is the
strongest prep. school team in southern
Vermont.
Spaulding put up the rgcatest exhibi-
tion of team work and sensational baS-
ket throwing ever seen in this city, and
the crowd, which numbered fully 300
people, time and again cheered the splen-
did individual work of every player on
the high school team. Maiden. Grigg and
Cummings did nearly all of the basket
shooting for the locals and every few
minutes one Of them would bring the
crowd to its feet with shot through the
loop from the center Of the floor Their
shooting was splendid and they would
even toss them in with one hand while
guarding of their opponent with the
other.
Both sides at times exhibited good
passing, but the visitors were weak at
shooting baskets, missing many easy
chances, while they we're able to toss
in but one foul out Of eleven chances.
Nearly every man on the " A. lowered
head and shoulders over the Spaulding

made up for this by their swiftness and
tricky handling Of the BAH. The game
was fast and clean throughout, which
was due in part to the efficient work of
the v. A. referee, Tillinghast, who was
quick to sqeulch any signs of rough
playing or fouling, and who proved one
Of the most satisfactory officials ever
seen here
Two 20-n minute halves were played and
the first half ended 20 to IA in Spanld-
ing's favor, Cummings and G4igg each
shooting four baskets from the Aoors
