CENTRAL Y. N. CA. BEST
AT BASKET BALL GAME
Smothers Wilmington Quint in
0ne-Sided Contest,
81 to II.

The Y. NJ. c. A. of Washington beat
the Wilmington Y. NJ. c. A. team "a to IL
last night.
Though the visitors showed an intimate
knowledge OF basket ball, they were ut
terly at sea when the local interpreta-
ton of the playing rules was put in op-
GRAFTON. Instead OF being able to keep
their minds on advancing the ball. the
visiting players appeared to have all they
could do at different stages of the con-
test to keep from violating the rules and
committing repeated fouls. Under the
handicap imposed the visiting players did
their utmost to make a creditable show
ing. and at times succeeded Last nights
defeat was the first they have suffered
during the present season.
The local men completely outplaye1
their opponents. The only time they
seemed worried was when the big guards
and center of the Delaware men lined up
in a semi-football fashion across the
field in front of their goal while back
shot a score. 1t was a pretty play and
was utilized with success two or three
times.
The shooting of Allen of the local Y.
NJ. c. A. was of a high order and he
ended the contest with a credit of six
Colley played exceptionally well and held
his own against Slock, the Wilmington
center, who lowered above him FIVE or six
inches. The best play on the part of
the visitors was put UP by Heal, McKen-
drick aand Slock. Heal and McKendric
toward the latter part of the contest ac-
customed themselves to the unfamiliar
playing conditions and succeeded in run
ming up six points before the call OF
time.
Except for an occasional dash by indi-
VldualS the game was tame and listless
After the local team succeeded in running
up 20 points to their opponents S i'm the
first half the play of the former be-
came less spirited

From the Savannah Press:

The death of Congressman Griggs
of Georgia is deeply regretted in the
Second district. He was one of the
most genial of men, a reconteur of
marked ability His sayings and do
ings while solicitor general and Judge
of the Pataula circuit VIII rank
among the best traditions of the
bench and bar in Georgia. He had
a high native eloquence and more
than once delivered effective speech
es. We recall an instance in the
Knights of Pythias convention at
Columbus several years ago, where
he swept the grand lodge off it's feet
by an appeal He was capable Of
putting up strong and well sustained
argument, and was a man of great
deal of magnetism and humor.
Judge Griggs was a member of the
ways and means committee of the
house, and during the Taft reception
in Savannah last November was pres
ent as a guest of the city James
Matthew Griggs had many friends in
Georgia who regret to hear of his
very sudden death.

of the senate as may be appointed
by the senate.
Resolved, That the sergeant-at-
arms of the house be, and he is here
| by authorized and directed to take
such steps as may be necessary to
carry out these resolutions, and that
the necessary expenses in connection
Herewith be paid out of the contin-
gent funds of the house.

family of the deceased.

Edwards Pays Tribute.
Congressman Edwards said:
4 received a telegram from Mr..
E. w Hollingsworth, son-in-law of
Hon. James NJ. Griggs, early this
morning telling of the latter's death
at his home yesterday afternoon at
Dawson, Ga. Words cannot express
my regret He was one of the best
friends | had in the house His
place in the Georgia delegation and
in the house of representatives will
be hard to fill. He was one of the
strongest and most popular men in
the house on either side. His death
entails a sad loss upon Georgia and
upon the country. My little boy has
been very i'll at the DriscOll Hotel
for several days, or | would attend
the funeral. When | saw Judge
Griggs last, as he was leaving for
home just before the holidays, he
was looking splendidly, and | re-
marked to him about how we'll he
was looking. Little did I think then
that | was telling my friend good
bye for the last time. Judge Griggs
was warm-hearted man, full of
kindness. His genial disposition
coupled with his superb ability won
him many friends and a high place
of honor among the great men or
the country. In every position to
which his countrymen called him he
was found worthy and filled the po-
sitiOn with distinction and credit.
With such big heart and with suca
a big brain, with a character of pure
gold, Judge Griggs was big enough
and fit enough to occupy any office
or any trust in the land. He wa
true friend, a good husband and
good father, man of the highest or
der, and his death leaves a wide Cir
Gle of sadness and sorrow"
Salary Appropriated.
A resolution has been introduced
in congress appropriating Judge
Griggs' salary for the ensuing year,
$500, to his family.

MISSING FORTUNE is FOUND
$4,000 Missing Since Ellaville Bank
Cashier Killed Himself Is Found
at SchleY County Court House.

at Schley County Court House.
Forty thousand dollars of notes
and valuable securities belonging to
the Bank Of Ellaville, which is owned
and controlled by the Bank of South
western Georgia, located in Ameri-
Gus, were found Thursday afternoon
carefully concealed in the boxing
about the Schley county court house.
When Cashier Walters of the Ella
Vile bank committed suicide bv
shooting himself in Americas a wear
and a half ago many of the banks
papers were missing. Forty thou
sand dollars was the aggregate lost,
and every effort made to discover
them proved fruitless. The Schlev
county court house was thoroughly
search, as the dead cashier FREQUENT
ed one of the offices there, but with
out effect.
twenty-five thousand dollars Of the
missing notes was paid by the maxi
ers voluntarily, following the death
or Cashier Walters, and the remain
ing $4,000 will now be collectable
with the lost notes recovered.
Two citizens of Ellaville, Charles
K. McCrory and James Robinson,
came upon the papers by accident.
The $500 reward offered by the
Americas bank for recovery of all
the missing notes is still outstand-
ing. The object of concealment of
the banks papers in the court house
remains a mystery. The bank was
in no wise embarrassed by the loss.

WASHINGTON, d. Universal
sorrow was expressed by the late
Representative James NJ. Griggs' col
leagues in the house of representa-
lives, both democrats and republic
cans, today, after they had read of
his sudden death at his home in
Georgia.
Representative Champ Clark of
Missouri, the minority floor leader,
vetoed his deep personal sorrow and
declared that Mr.. Griggs was brill
liant and hardworking member, who
would be mourned by all who knew
him and greatly missed in the coun-
ellis of the house. Representative
Bartlett of Georgia spoke of his de-
parted colleague as a man of big
heart and honest purpose" one
whose loss to his district as we'll as
to the national body would be Sc
yerely felt, and other members, dem
ocrats and republicans alike, spoke
in the same strain.
Mr. Griggs was extremely popular
in the house of representatives, in
which he was serving his seventh
consecutive term. As a member of
the ways and means committee he
worked especially hard during the
session of last spring, which passed
the Payne Aldrich tariff bill.
- Committee to Attend Funeral.
Representative Livingston of GeOr-
gia introduced the following resolu-
ton in the house of representatives
shortly after it convened today pro-
viding for the appointment of COM
mittee of twenty-eight members to
attend the funeral of Representative
Griggs. Mr.. Livingston stated in his
predatory remarks that he would at
tempt no eulogy or tribute to his col
league at this time, but at a later
date he would ask that a day be set
aside in the house for that purpose.
Mr.. Livingston asked that the COM
mittee of the twenty-eight appointed
to attend the funeral of Mr.. Griggs
consist of the entire Georgia dele
cation and the ways and means COM
mittee, of which the late representa-
tive was a prominent member.
The resolution was adopted and
the committee named, as requested.
AS a further mark of respect the
house at 1880 p. m. adjourned. The
resolution follows:
Resolved, That the house heard
with profound sorrow of the death of
Hon. James Mathews Griggs, late a

Thursday Gov. Joseph M. Brown
issued the following proclamation:
Another eminent Georgian has
yielded to the inscrutable plan.
Death has removed from the active
scenes of this life Hon. James M.
Griggs, jurist of distinguished abili-
ty, law-maker of pre-eminent worth,
citizen with high sense of personal
and official honor, friend sincerely de-
voted to all the instincts of loyalty.
by his death the state has lost
citizen who has reflected honor
upon her history; our common coun-
try has been deprived of wise coun-
sellor in the house of congress; the
great political party of which he was
member has suffered the loss of
an able and a conservative leader;
while the home has been bereft of
the tender, sympathetic companion
ship of a devoted father and hus-
band.
therefore, in view of the high es-
TEEN in which he was held by the
people and the sorrow that hovers
over the firesides of our state, it is
ordered:
That the offices of the capitol be
closed during the hour set apart for
the funeral services, and that the
state flags be displayed at half-mast
until after the burial
