HIGH SCHOOL WINS LAST GAME
Close Season With Victory Last
Friday by Defeating Seminary.

The last basket ball game of the
season for the two local teams was
played last Friday evening in the
High School gym, and resulted in a
48-11 victory for the High School.
After the first few minutes the re-
suit was never in doubt, the size of
the score being the only question.
The High School team scored first
on basket by Nordstrom and Carl
son followed this with another. Then
"Buck" johnson got a couple for
the Seminary, tying the score. Berg
shot another one and the Seminary
took the lead for the first time in
either game. Soon the High School
team got their team work started
and shot a number of baskets. Carl
son got four and Taylor three, while
Nordstrom and Swenson Gagged two
each and Johnson one in the first
half. Johnson got two baskets and
Berg and Peterson one each, while
the latter also shot a foul. The
score at the end of the first half was
24-9.
In the second half the High School
team kept right on going, the Sem
mary not being able to hold them.
Taylor and Carlson each got four
baskets, johnson three and Swenson
one in the second half. Peterson
got the only score for the Seminary
in the last half, basket from the
field.
The High School team put up one
Of the best exhibitions of the year,
their team work being the best they
have shown this year. The Seminary
team wasn't able to get started,
showing only occasional flashes of
team work. The Seminary sprung
a surprise by starting "Vic" Frid-
'und at center and "Buck" Johnson
at forward. This combination work.
ed we'll for while but couldn't hold
out. Capt. Swenson, "Obbie" Nord-
strom and Archie Carlson wound up
their High School basket ball career
in a blaze Of glory, the latter being
especially strong on the scoring end
OF the game. Taylor managed to
lose his man often enough to get sew
en- baskets and to do fine work in
advancing the ball in team work.
johnson Gagged four baskets and
played a nice defensive game. For
the Seminary Peterson and "Buck"
johnson played the best game;

chest. causing dangerous and pain
fnl wound.
The shooting took place at Walkers

Prom what can be learned, it seems

company him. Before they had gone

The Lexington Savings Bank, for 20
wears considered q financial strong
holt, is closed, and the affairs of the
bank, together with the affairs of It's
president, Mr.. W. P. Roof, are in the
hand of W. b. Townsend, receiver,
appointed by the court. AS a result
Of the banks failure the large depart
ment store of w. P. Roof is closed,
and the whole matter will be settled
under bankruptcy proceedings, which
were egun in the United States court
in Charleston on Saturday.
The failure of the bank has occa-
stoned q great deal Of regret, and has
caused much alarm among the depos-
itors. No statement as to what per
cent the creditors will receive has been
given to the public and it will be sew
eral days before anything definite can
be asoertained.
The cause of the failure may be as
signed to q number OF reasons. The
rumor was carried broadcast several
weeks ago to the effect that the bank
was going to the wall and many de-
positors made "run'' on the bank,
drawing out their funds. For 9 time
it was hoped that the bank would be
able to stem the heavy tide, but as
fast .s the money was deposited it
would be drawn out by some anxious
depositor, it is said.
Mr.. Rt OF has done more for Aexlng'
ton than any other Lying man. 1t
was he who caused to be built the
Lexington Manufacturing Company
and the SAKE Gotha cotton mills, both
of which will stand through genera
tions as a living monument to his
worth. he has always put his shoul-
der to the wheel and pushed with all
Of his energy for every enterprise
which looked toward the betterment
Of his town and. community. But few
people have ever gone to W. P. Roof
for favor that went away without
receiving help. He has held the con-
fidence and esteem of the people OF
this entire section as no other man
has ever held. That he has had con-
fdence in the people is evidenced by
| the tact that were all the people who
are indebted to him to pay up today
everyone of his creditors could be paid
off dollar for dollar and his mammoth
business would continue as if nothing
had occurred.
