PIRATES
Defeated The Mounts On
Wednesday Evening
By A Close And Exciting
Score 20 To 20

Bates Pirates of the Columbus
Capital City league handed the second
beating of the season to the Mounts
on the local Y. M. c. A. floor Wednes-
day evening In a rough game. The
playing was very fast and hard, fact
which accounts mostly for the rough
ness. The desperate effort made by
both teams to win caused numerous
fouls, but there was no actual dirty
playing at any time. The score was
26 to 20.
The visiting five displayed better
team work than did the Mounts. Their
passing was no more accurate but
their formations and floor work was
faster and better organized. This is
accounted because of the fact that
they have been playing and practicing
regularly and steadily ever since the
season started. The contest was by no
means uneven, however, as the locals
were beaten out only by three bas-
kets.
During the last ten minutes of play,
the Pirates were played to a stand
still. This was after Altenburg was
sent into the game at right guard.
His playing and defense was marked
improvement over that of his pre-
decessor and the general belief is that
had he been started in the game at
the beginning, the score might have
shown different and more favorable
figures at the finish. He is consider
ed to be one of the best guards in the
city. The crowd present Wednesday
evening was larger than that of last
Saturday night and those who saw the
game last night will very probably re-
turn to the next one. The Mounts
will give a strong argument for nearly
any team and local people can always
be assured of good exciting game
and their moneys worth whenever
they go to see them play.

PLEADS
Own Case Before The Court
Of Appeals
Does A COIOfed Man At
Mansfield
Other Items Of Interest From
Court House

Many people came into the court
of appeals yesterday afternoon to
hear a colored man by the name of
Archer plead his case before the
judges says the Mansfield News.
Though Archer is not an attorney,
he made a dramatic plea "befo'e de
cou't" as he called 1t. It seems by the
story he told the bench that he, Ar
cher, was the owner in fee simple, of
one horse which he drove up to the
public watering trough in Mt. Gilead.
The horse stepped into sinkhole be-
side the tank, and by the time Archer
got the beast out, it was dead.
Archer says he then brought suit
and was awarded damages in the
sum of $54. Since then, he claims,
the Mt. Gilead attorney on the oppo-
site side, has been Juggling the case
from one court to another, until Ar
cher claims, he has spent many times
that amount of the money belonging
W tiiO Ntld6O VI lnb. 0llCdu III ln6
to keep the owner of the horse out
of the money. Archer claims to have
the names of many business men of
Mt. Gilead on petition asking that
Archer be given the amount of the
judgment secured and the case
dropped. The owner of the horse
says it is because he is a colored
man that he has never received this
amount.
In speaking Of modification of the
decree, the colored layman called it a
modification" of the decree but cor
rected this slip. He brought many
smiles to the faces of dignified at.
torneys in the court room. Archer
closed his plea in regulation colored
camp meeting style by hammering
the table with his clenched fist as he
drove home his arguments. His alu
minum head glistened with sweat and
enthusiasm as the son Of Ham pro
gressed in his plea to the court of ap.
peals.

Superintendent Evans Here

on account of there not being
many adults present State Super
intendent Evans did not talk on
consolidated schools as was ex-
pected at the school building Mon
day afternoon but made a kinder
garten and atheletic talk to the
school children. This was real
disappointment to those who were
there to learn something about the
new school system now being
agitated here, and a most important
subject. His talk did not have a
very stimulating effect upon pupils
as to the real work they are ex-
pected to do during their school
age but had more to do with the
play and sport that is already
given too much prominence in our
institutions of learning. County
Superintendent Joyce was present
and made a good talk on school
work and intelligently touched
upon the consolidation system.
DR.. Standby, Fl. G. Lomax and
Rev. Mendenhall talked along
educational lines and spoke en-
couragingly Of the Laclede schools,
complimented our splendid corps
of teachers and urged the pupils.to
put forth every effort to accomplish
the best things in school work.
Superintendent Evans is a very
pleasant gentleman and made many
friends during his brief stay here,
and took occasion to compliment
Laclede on having such a splendid
school building and equipment and
saw evidences Of live school spirit
here.
