DEFEATS
GALLAUDET COLLEGE
,Mutes Succumb to Blue and
Gray in Warm Basket
Ball Struggle.

In a rough and fast game of basket
ball at Ryan gymnasium yesterday after
noon the Georgetown collegians conquer
ed the Gallaudet College quint by the
score of SO to 49, In the TALES the real
comparison of the contending aggrega-
tons is clearly shown, as in all thephases
of the indoor sport the winners were
consistently just twice as able as the
losers.
From the very start the Hilltoppers
played like fiends. The echoes of the
opening whistle had hardly died away be-
fore Cogan. the Georgetown forward, had
the sphere Gagged for the first score of the
day. few seconds later and the same
stunt was repeated by the same man.
During the next couple of minutes Arras
of the losers. balanced the tallies by
making two baskets, one from an open
floor and the other from scrimmage.
while as an ender to the first quarter of
the opening session the Gallaudet leader,
Birch, succeeded in negotiating one OF
those long distance goals for which he is
noted.
AT this point the two fves seemed
pretty evenly matched and for a few
minutes some fierce tusSling was INDUCED
in, but before the middle of the half the
collegians began to display their superior
ity, and at the end Of ten minutes they
were again in the lead, the trick having
been turned by Cogan and Kingsley, each
of whom negotiated ringers. Cogan,
however, was for keeping up the pep, and
a couple of minutes later he dribbled the
length of the floor, ending his journey
with a successful toss, which was follow
ed soon after by another, two points re-
sulting from goal fro ma pass by the
same player.
bikes got goal from a scrimmage at
the beginning of the last quarter, and
with two minutes left to play O'Conner
and Bjarlee snapped two-pointers. In the
last minute before the intermission ArraS
made pretty toss through the iron from
scrmmage, which was offset by
Cogans elimination of team work with
basket just before time was called.

afternoon among the winners Capt.
Kingsley and bikes also did consistent
work, especially in the passing depart
ment. For Gallaudet, Arras did the most
work. both in the way of shooting and OF
guarding. Capt. Birch at center strove
hard and on a couple of occasions made
grandstand shots, but his failure to work
the ball under the basket in more than
one case resulted in loss for his team.

Substitutions Made.

At the beginning of the second half
Coach Joyce of the West Enders substi-
tuted Waldron for Sitterding at right
guard, and Wymard for O'Connor at the
other back-court position. This, however,
by no means weakened the lineup as
the Blue and Gray TALES In this session
were exactly the same as in the first half
while the Mutes obtained but nine, one
less than in the opening period. A change
was also made In the playing rules, the
first half having been under the inter-
collegiate code, 1t was decided that the
second half should be played under the
A. A. L. regulations, to which the visi-
tors were more accustomed. Although
this resulted In some confusion for the
Hi!ltoppers, 1t was, nevertheless. pro-
ductive of benefits. as some of their flu
ture contests will be played altogether
under the club rules.
Birch opened the scoring shortly after
hostintieS were resumed, with a pretty
overhead goal Kingsley evened this up
with basket from a series of passes
but Birch again got an advantage by
making a single-pointer off of bikes,
foul. Cogan~ then came in for a share
ct the limelight, and succeeded in get
ting 1t by accomplishing two goals in
quick succession Dilkes followed with
another, and the miadle of the half saw.
the Hilltoppers still in the lead, the score
being .6 TO Is. ..#',s
Graham having been substituted for
Waldron on the leaders lineup, play
was again started and Capt Birch OF the
Kendall Green quint for the second time
was successful In making a phenomenal
long shot, this time from the middle OF
the court. Hardly had the applause for
his feat died out when Graham retaliat-
ed with pretty toss. which was follow
ed In quick time by, another by Dilkes
from difficult angle. Cogan again be-
came prominent by goal from team
work. followed soon after by similar
acquisition Of points on the part of
Dilaes.
With but four minutes left to play the
Mutes braced and by their diligence they
succeeded in preventing their opponents
from doing any more scoring. at the same
time augmentirIg their own points by
successful throw on the part of Birch OF

NAVY 0UTCLASS AND
0UTPLAY SWARTHMORE
Middies Lead From Start to
Finish in One Sided Game
of Basket Ball.
Snecial Disna tch 10 The Star,


| ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 29.-The
Mdshipmen's basket ball team won from
| the quintet of Swarthmore College of
Pennsylvania this afternoon by the over
whelming score of ID to 10. The visitors
had been looked upon as a formidable foe
| for the Sailor Lads, but they We're out
classed and outplayed in all departments
of the game. The Middies jumped into
good lead shortly after the start of the
game when after some clever work tr"y
Gagged the ball four times in quick sue
cession, while the best the visitors could
do was to tally three points on goals
| from the foul line. From that point on
| the Middies were never headed. The end
of the first session saw the score II to 8,
| favoring the Navy.
In the second period the Sailors put up
an even more aggressive game and played
their opponents off their feet After about
twelve minutes of the half had elapsed
and seeing they had the game well in
hand, the Middies put in number of sub
stitutes and these kept the good work 60
| ing Swarthmore fought determinedly
but they appeared in poor physical con-
dition and could not measure UP to the
| fast pace set by the Middies. In addition
| their team work was ragged. The re-
deeming feature of the visitors play was
the work of Moore, right forward, who
was successful in eight out of eleven tries
for goals from the foul line. Wenzell and
/ Douglas again starred for the Navy ag-
gregation, the former having scored ten
| field goals, while the latter Gagged the
leather eight times. Toward the close of
| the second half Sproul was disqualified
| for little roughness and Spoud took his
place.

AS to the Negro Who Voted i'm
McDuffie County

In the Convention at Thomson, the state
ment was made that no negro voted in the
primary of August 23rd.
While my name was not mentioned, it was
we'll understood whose word was being con-
tradicted
A negro did vote in McDuffie county, just
as was asserted by me.
My authority is Ocran Howard, of bearing.
He told us so on our way to the Augusta
meeting; and he later wrote me to the same
effect.
The negro, after having voted once, got
drunk Con the little burglars liquor, sup
pose) and wanted to vote second time.
Possibly, he imagined that 1894 had come
again. and that he was being repeated" at
the Courthouse precinct in Augusta.
did not say that the negro was registered;
and have no information as to whether the
vote was counted

THE u EFFERS ONIAN

IN the meantime, explained the matter to my
brother, over the telephone Money was very
tight at that time of year, as it usually is,
and the bank had to borrow In order to make
the loan. The interest was fixed at per
cent, according ITO my promise. After that,
had no further connection with it at all, and
it was genuine surprise to me to learn that
fourteen hundred dollars of the money is still
due. When they failed to pay the note at
maturity, and asked a renewal, they offered
to pay the usual rate charged at the State
banks. did not even know that such
newal had been asked for and given. We
have been carrying that loan for three years
now and would be very glad indeed to have
our money back.
When the Georgia Railroad made some
difficulties about granting spur track to the
McDffie local, my friend, Hillman Matthews,
again came to me for advice. [ told him that,
if necessary, would take the case before the
Railroad Commission and argue it free of
charge. I suggested that he 90 to see Col.
Scott the manager of the road, and tell him
of my proposition. At that time, was a
power in the Hoke Smith administration,
and the Georgia Railroad already had as
much trouble ON hand as it's manager desired.
Shortly afterward, the spur track was put in.
Our DaIlK also financed the nOlQ1IS move
ment Of the McDuffe Farmers Union in
1907. The paper had to be renewed time
and again. In spite of all this friendship
shown to the McDuffie local. it's manager has
never opened an account with us, and does not
condescend to notice a personal letter from
me, or request for settlement of the four
teen hundred dollar debt sent him by the
McDuffie Bank
My information is, that the Rev. John
Lees administration succeeded, in a short
while, In running up a pretty big debt against
the Amalgamated Warehouse system, and
that nobody has as yet been able to get clear
understanding of the condition of that Imple
ment Company. It is said, however, that
those who hold shares of stock in the Per-
cheron feel that they were taken in when they
bought it.
Under President Cabaniss and Colonel
Peek, the Union will, I trust, recover the
ground it lost under John Lee and Duck
worth. It will afford me pleasure to help
them all I can. If they want two pages in
this paper every week, they are welcome to
the space. They can fill it with just such
reading matter they may select, subject
only to the trained supervision of our man
aging editor, Mrs Lyle.
Come along, Farmers Union men Let all
of those who are honest and earnest wipe out
past differences, get together, and build up
this noble organization. 1t has no better
friend than yours truly.

The Un1on City Crooks all Voted
For Fannie Aliens Man

=.
true character of that discredited bunch than
is afforded by Che fact that they all voted for
Lon Livingstone
Yes, sir1-that's just what they did. Our
greasy friend, the Rev. r. F.. Duckworth,
moseyed right up and gave his Endorsement,
for whatever it was worth, to one of the worst
men that ever held high office IN the State of
Georgia.
The Rev John L. Lee did the same thing.
The beautiful Bodenhamer followed suit.
Our sleepy eyed brother, j. L. Barron, imi-
tated the example of the two 1llustrious ex-
preachers.
Oh, what understanding bunch that
Union City quartette is!
IT had been their intention to control and
make merchandise of the Farmers Union,
just as Livingston did of the Farmers Ali
ance The better element in the organization
got on to the game, and what they did to the
Union City bunch at the last convention was
a plenty! The crooks have been relegated to
the outer darkness, and the manner in which
they are wailng and crashing their teeth is
quite pitiful.
In moment of anger a threat was made to
prosecute them for that outrageous libel on
me concerning Dan Sully's warehouse plans
and his SIX per cent. money. The game
wouldn't be worth the candle, and I shall not
Every one of those Union City crooks
know that I went to Atlanta to see Dan Sully,
at the special request of Charlie Barrett, who
arranged the interview and was present
throughout. Barrett expressed the same ia
vorable opinion of the Sully plan that I did,
and 1t has recently come to my knowledge
that he filed, with the Atlanta Constitution,
a written statement to the same effect
And he was perfectly right in doing so.
More warehouses would mean competition,
which would necessarily lower the charges for
the storage of cotton and the commissions for
selling it. Of course those who are interested
in the warehouses that have already been
built don't want any more to come The Union
City crooks are interested in State bank
which is lending out money at twelve per
cent. Consequently, they dread the coming
of Dan Sully and his six per cent. loans. I
am largely interested in such State bank
myself, but that doesn't keep me from favor
ing six per cent. money for the people.
Nobody will be compelled to put their cot
ton in the Dan Sully warehouses. Those who
store cotton with Dan Sully will retain the
same control of it that they now have when
they put it in the warehouses that already
exist. All this talk about "skinning" the
farmers with six per cent. money and with
reduced charges for the storing of cotton, is
the merest bosh. The real motive which in
spires the opposition to the Sully warehouses
and cheap money is the fear of competition.
The members Of the Farmers Union are
beginning to realize how sound my advice was
when I urged them not to 90 into that Anal
gamated Warehouse Corporation. Each local
should have kept its property separate and
under local control. Unity of action could
have been brought about by just such an as

What Are We to Think When Our
PulpitS Are Filled by Such Men
AS the Rev. j. Howard Wells,
of WASHINGTON. ID. c.?

During the closing days of the Congress
sional campaign in Georgia, too late for me
to secure copy, and to make comments upon
it before election day, slick little rascal and
hypocrite circulated the following letter:
Read What Rev. Howard Wells, of Washington,
d. c., Says of Congressman Edwards.
Washington, D. c., August II. 1910.
To Whom it May Concern This is to certify
that l, j. Howard Wells, pastor of Mt Vernon
Place Church, Washington, D. c., have received
from Thomas E. Watson avalanche of papers,
purporting to contain charges against the char
acter of Honorable Chas. G. Edwards. Having,
read these carefully, find nothing in them to-
cause me to change any statements that I have.
hitherto made in favor of Edwards. I state once
again, that Mr.. Edwards, during his residence in
Washington with his family has been a faithful
attendant upon the services of Mt. Vernon Place
Church
AS to the incident related by Mr. J. B. Bond
[ did not meet him. do not know him, have not
been in my own pulpit since last Sunday in July,
and have made no inquiry concerning Mr.. Ed
wards whatever. | believe Mr.. Edwards to be an
honorable upright Christian gentleman.

You will observe that Edwards and Wells
had evidently come to an agreement to hold
back his second testimonial until it would be
too late for me to expose Wells and to tell the
people how shabbily he had acted in the.
premises Apparently, Wells is just about the,
kind of pastor that Edwards will make when
he takes to preaching.
Now, let me give you the story
Presuming that Wells was Christian gen
tleman, who would be glad to have the actual
facts concerning Edwards, I forwarded to
him, at Washington City, the letter of the
gentleman who related to me his discovery Of
Edwards misconduct in his office that Sun
day afternoon. The writer of the letter is
thorough gentleman, whose evidence would be
accepted without question by any jury of the
First District. The manner in which he re-
cited the incident carried absolute conviction
with it; and even if Wells had had any doubt,
after reading the letter, had given him the
name OF responsible man to who he could
have referred.
