SCRANTON SKETCHES.
Victory for the Local Basketball
Team.-Literary Society Notes.

Scranton, February 2:-The bas-
ketball team of the Coward school
came over and played the Scranton
team last Friday, the latter winning
by the score of II to 6. The game
was interesting and at times exclt-
ing. bessie Graham and Fred Par
rott, of the home team, did them
selves proud. Prof-Crout, of the
Green Spring school, refereed the
game. A goodly number OF the
townspeople and from Cowards were
present. The two teams will meet
again shortly on the Cowards court.
Cowards defeated Scranton week
before last. The boys here said to
those from Cowards: Let's shake
hands and be friendly
4 knight of the road" came up
to Policeman Ward Sunday night
very excited and requested that he
be locked up for safe-keeping for
the night, as he was being pursued
by persons who wished to do him
harm;> that they had thrown a flash
| light in his face back there" Chief
Ward complied with his request and
| let him out Monday morning. There
was nothing peculiar about him; he
was just a hobo of the average type.
1t was probably ruse to get a
nights lodging.
Mr. A w Ward has been reap
pointed town Marshal, to the entire
satisfaction of the community, and
is always on the job.

COTTON GINN|NGS
SHOW HUGE CROP.
NEARLY $1,000 600 BALES PRIOR
TO JANUARY 16---MAY SET
WORLDS RECORD.

Washington, January 23:-A rec
ord crop for the l914-15 season was
indicated in the Census Bureaus re-
port today showing 14,907,942 run
ming bales had been ginned prior to
January 16. Ginnings from JAM
uary l to Is amounted to 460, ,149
bales, exceeding those of that period
in any previous year. They also car
ried the total ginnings beyond any
previous year, exceeding the record
production year of 1911 by almost
400, 900 bales.
Until the Census Bureaus final
ginning report is issued on March
20, the exact size of the 1914 crop
will not be known, but it is believed
will be larger than the 1911 record
production - 15,553,073 running
bales.
1t depends on the quantity girned
from January 16 to the end of the
season which in 1911 amounted to
l 1,037 ,274 bales and for the past five
years has averaged 4S5,596 bales.
Should as much be ginned as in 1911.
this years crop would be close to
16, 900. 900 bales.
The ninth ginning report of the
season issued at 10 a. m. today an
nounced that 14,907, ,942 bales of
cotton, counting round as half bales,
of the growth of 1914 had been gin
ned prior to January 16. This COM
pared with 13, ,582, ,036 bales. or 97.1
per cent of the entire crop, ginned
prior to January 16 last year, 49,
O8S, $50 bales, or go per cent in
1912 and 14,515,799 bales, or 93.3
per cent in 1911. The average
quantity of cotton ginned prior to
January 16 IN the past three years
was 13, ,728,921 bales or 95.8 per
cent of the crop.
Included in the ginnings were So
942 round bales compared with 96,-
SO7 last year, 1880 in 1912 and
81, ,654 in 1911.
Sea island cotton included num-
bered 79,848 bales, compared with
76,277. bales last year, 7O,758 in
1912 and 1O9,867 bales in 1911.

OBS IN WORKING UP RECENT
DISPE ISARY CASE.

! fs OUS In WSNhANS "a
DISPE ISARY CASE.
u In regard to the statement OF the
attorneys for the dispensary board.
we are in the position of a jury
which has been drawn to hear case
and has been excluded during the
taking of testimony, being brought
into the court to hear only the law
syers' arguments. What we, and we
believe the people want, is facts
brought out on the stand lnder
zoath. In our opinion it will be up to
THE grand jury to furnish thai op-
Fportunity to hear the facts under
those conditions.
Justsone word in regard to Mr.
Detective who investigated the mat
ter here and who, by the way, must
have been among those who were
fred by Gov Manning this week. AS
he is the regularly appointed vim
dicator, we suppose all of his state
ments will be believed. Regardless
Of what he did find out or tried to
learn, he evidently was desirous of
knowing how much we knew about
the matter and, according to his
own statement to US, hid behind a
counter in ] M Surgeons store on
one occasion when we were talking
with MIR Sturgeon and a Mr. Funk,
of Kingstree. We do not know how
the conversation drifted to the dis
pensary matter and whether or not
the gentlemen turned the converse
ton to that subject, for his benefit,
we are not prepared to say. Any
way, he came to our office to get a
copy of The News containing our
article which, we believe, caused
whatever investigation that was
made and after talking about the
article and saying that our article
was in error, in that it presumed
that the dispenser and not his assist
ant was at fault, stating that one
was deep in the mud as. the other in
the mire", he pulled little mem.
. orandum from his pocket, in a very
Sherlock Holmes manner, and con-
ssulting it asked if we had not made
certain statements. Upon our de-
nying same, he called up the con.
versation at the store and said that
swhile he was hiding behind the
Rcounter thought he heard the editor
say that he saw empty jugs hauled
to the dispensers barn" We de-
MED it and repeated to him our
exact words. He then, with a wise
expression on his countenance, said
so you see how we work" Yes,
we saw.
We have gone into this small in
cident to ask this question: Why.
il he wanted to know what the
Editor" knew, and was trying to
find out facts for the prosecution,
did he not come to US direct and
ask direct for whatever information
we may have had. Our well known
stand on all moral questions and the
fact that we had called attention to
the matter was ample guarantee
that he would have our hearty CO.
operation. He wanted to know
what the editor knew, and his &C
tions would lead one to think that
:, the cause was that unjust imputa-
ton that you have inadvertently
placed upon them," yet when our
