Pettingill's 2o==
Lumber Co. 2.

The Augusta Lumber Co basketball
team was defeated, Wednesday evening,
by Pettingills Corner, 20 to ., at the
Select Roller Rink, in the presence of a
large crowd. The game as the score
shows, was one-sided. but at times some
brilliant plays We're made by both teams
Laneelot Cooper, the star Cony man, was
again back with the Corner team and
added much to their strength, shooting
seven baskets during the game
In the first few minutes OF the play
ing neither side was able to score ami
it looked as if the game was going to be
close and interesting. This did not last
long, however, for the Pettingills Corner
boys began to show the spectators some
fast goal shooting, and in less than five
minutes five goals had been made by
them, giving the LUMBER Co. boys hardly
time TO realize that they We're in the
game at all. The first period ended with
the score standing IS to in favor of the
Pettingilrs Corner team.
The Corner boys kept increasing their
lead in the second half from the start
and it looked as If the Lumber Co. boys
were going to be BANKED, until Captain
Mclaughlin succeeded in shooting a bas-
ket from a very difficult position This
was the only goal obtained by the Lum-
Der Co. boys, and the spectators APP
plauded freely when the ball went into
the basket
Cooper and Appleton were the stars for
the Pettingilis Corner team. McLaugh
lin of the Number Co. deserves special
mention. as 1t is to him that his team
owes the credit of scoring

LETTERS TO THE GAZETTE
MIR. M0ncure's Letter.

Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
l read with profound interest in
yesterdays Gazette the admirable re-
sumo of Hon. Robinson Moncure in re-
gard to the legislature just closed.
with many others regret deeply that
MIR. Moncure has decided not to be
candidate for reelection. In connec-
ton with his withdrawal, we recall the
remarks that Mr.. Moncure made when
he was a candidate, that he did not In
tend to be greedy about the office anu
that after a reasonable length OF time
to withdraw and let some one else en-
10y the honor and have the experience
coincidence with representatives IN
Legislature. Mr.. Moncure is much
more conscientious in living up to his
promises than a certain well known
candidate for. a higher office.
The attitude which Mr.. Moncure has
taken upon various public questions
and his reasons for so doing shows
him to be in every sense statesman
and not politician. Certainly he has
inherited to a marked degree the
traits of his paternal ancestors which
have made the name of Moncurc a
SYNONYM for all that is highest in jur-
lis prudence.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Now that the time for the Demo-
cratic convention approaches, it may
be of interest to our readers to know
lust how the, delegates who compose
the convention are selected. Every
state is entitled to two delegates for
each congressman, and four delegates
at large, representing the two sena-
tors. Virginia, therefore has twenty
four delegates. These delegates are
chosen in Virginia by Democratic
state convention, which will be held
at time and place to be fixed by the
state central committee at meeting
to be held on March 10Th. The dele
gates to tho state convention in turn
arc chosen at primaries held for the
purpose. Alexandria will be entitled
to twelve delegates to the state con-
vcrtion, and the primary for their
selection will be held at time to be
fixed by the city Democratic commit
tee in tho near future.
