DAVIDSON DEFEATS NENBERRY.
Fast Game of Basketball in NeWberry
College Gymnasium on Wednes-
day Night.

Newberry college went down IN de-
feat Wednesday night in fine game
of basketball before Dadivson's splen-
did team. Both teams did mighty fine
work, but the game was lost to DAY.
idson in the first half NeWherry's
five" were taken off their feet In the
first few minutes of play by the fast
and snappy passing, and almost phen-
omenal good shooting of Davidson Al
ter this Newberry tightened up and
played a fine specimen of ball. The
score at the end of the first half was
g to l3 in DaviGsons favor, and play
as hard as they could the New5erry
men could never overcome this lead.
The second half was full of specta-
cular playing and passing by both
teams. Smeltzer's work at guard was
an especially noticeable feature, Whlle
Doscher and Cappelmann played con-
sistently throughout. For the David
son "fve" Carson, at centre, and NC
Dufie and White, forwards, gave good
account of themselves at all times.
The final score was in Davidsons
favor to the tune of 29 to 25. The fol-
lowing was the lineup:
Davidson. Ne"oerrS'
McDufie.. -. r. T. >. ..Cappelmann

Owing to bad hand Mr.. Jess May
es, one of Newberry's star guards
could not be in the game. Mcfail
Wise replaced him, but was hand'-
capped in playing out Of position, ne
having been used to playing at centre.
davidson has won all the games she
has played on this trip, having &C.
feated Charlotte Y. M. c. A. one OF
the strongest teams in North Carolna'
and also the University of South Caro-
Ina. at Columbia. They play at Spar
tanburg against Wofford collese
Thursday afternoon. NeWber1y mas
won all previous games, this being inc
first game lost. 1t is certain that 1ne
Scarlet and Silver Gray have gooo
team and that, as shown in the games
last night they will always give gooo
account of themselves. 1t is possible
that Newberry will play Wottord COL
1ege at Newberry on Monday nlgn7'
January 20. This will no doubt De
another close contest, as Wo1ocd is

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened firm and to IL points higher.
although less active than on previous
days this week. Offerings were rather
liberal at the advance, and soon caused
a reaction of about 10 points from top,
followed by a later rally of to points.
Higher cables, big spot sales at Liver
pool and a forecast OF further showers
in Georgia and the Carolinas accounted
for the early strength here. Most of
the selling pressure was due 10 be-
lief that the wet spell in the east would
soon be over and that the market was
considerably overbougit.
After IL o'clock the market sold off
IA to 20 ptin from top. under profit
taking by comnlissicD houses and more
optimistic feeling in regard TO crop
and weather news fTCEl the south, but
toward noon met good supporting orders.
~hich rallied prices to 6 points.
Spot-Quiet; middling uplands, 1910,
nominal.
Estimated receipts at all the ports to-
day. 1900 bales. against 2.O44 last week
and 23s last year For the week, $4,000
against 1882 last week and 4,194 last
year. Today's receipts at New Or
leans, 914. against nil last year; at
Houston. 3S1. against Sc last year, and
at Galveston. 412, against 223 last year
In the early afternoon the market was
OF II to IL points from the highest OF
the day and :; to 4 po nts under last
nights close. rejecting considerable prof
il taking. The operations for short ac-
.:ount. however. still displayed much
caution. owing to reports of heavy rains
today in the Augusta section and general
distrust of the crop situation.

DISPUTES COURTS POWER.
Excise Board Denies Right of Su
preme Bench in Saloon Case.

DisputinS the right of the District
Supreme Court TO interfere in excise
matters, the excise board today filed
a petition In the Probate Court to set
aside an order of that court anthoriz-
ing William F. Geiger and Eugene
Boiseau, executors of Mrs. Anna B.
Geigar. to continue the saloon business
at 1O2 Indiana avenue, pending a sale
by the executors. Justice Anderson
issued rule on the executors to show
cause July 10 why the order should
not be recalled.
Through Corporation Counsel Thomas
the board says that the excise board
has the sole right to authorize a sa-
loon to do business. and since IL had re-
fused a license to William F. Geiger
one OF the executors the saloon is now
being conducted without authority of
law.
The executors applied to the court
May . for right to continue the busi-
ness and were authorized to do so. The
excise officials claim the court Is with
out authority TO grant the request.
