The basketball treat of the season
will be given to local basketball fans
this Thursday night at the Y. NJ. H.
A. hall when the local Y. NJ. H. A.
quintet tackles none other than the
strong Riverside dribblers. This will
be the first time hat the Rivies have
ever graced a Perth Amboy court
since the days of the Old Auditorium
when they made this city their stamp
ing ground. Although the Rivies have
played on a. South Amboy court for
the past few years a large number of
local basketball enthusiasts have +
yelled to South Amboy to see them
play every Friday night and the game
this Thursday night will afford local
fans a chance to see the doughty
Rivies perform on a local court and
against one of the best basketball
combinations in the county.
1t Is true that the Rivies have had
somewhat of q disastrous a ow-
ing to the absence of Jimmy Canton
and Johnny McCreery, but the chances
for Jimmy Cantlon's appearance in
the old Riverside harness for this
game is quite bright A win for the
Rivies over the local association five

ably, but as the "Y" Ave have q fast

The Old Timers, of this city, who

let. Dolan makes the suggestion that
each of the Old Timers teams roll
the Bests five out OF nine games to
decide the winners after which the
five high average men of the Old
| Timers will roll the Bests two out of
! three to prove the champs. The Old
Timers manager in closing his letter
| states: IF no attention is paid this
challenge we will give It NJ as a bad

platform of railway station at
Shanghai in 1913 was a candidate for
the Premiership. He was one of the
leaders of the southern party opposed
to Yuan Shi-kai, who was then pro-
visional president of China and can
didate for reelection of the permanent
government soon to be established. The
party of which Sung was leader was

alleged there was political plot to
l,eep them out of the activities and
that President Yuan Shi-kai (since

activities of some of the plotters.
The Premier of Yuan's government
Cnao Ping-chun, was alleged to have
been one of the instigators of Sung's
murder but he died with tragic sud

with the result that the death sentence
was imposed instead of life imprison-

AGENT FOR DREW COUNTY.

Because of the natural advantages of our county in general, but through the activity of the Monticello Cham Der of Commerce in particular, Drew county is one of the eight fortunate counties of the state selected by H. M Cottrell, Agriculturist of the Ark ansas Profitable Farming Bureau, as demonstration county. MT. Cot trell states that with the co-opera tion of the merchants and farmers he can double the bank deposits of the county in two years. The busi- ness men of the town have proven their sincerity by a meeting held last week at which they agreed to guarantee a salary of $250000 for a local agent.
 MT. c. E. Carter of Lonoke was recommended by Mir. Cottrell for this position and his services se- cured. Having had several years experience in this line of work lie will prove valuable man to the service.

A GREAT PROGRAM

Along with other leading denom- nations, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has launched the greatest campaign in it's history. The Methodist in America organized their missionary work Just one hundred years ago, and their pres ent unusual program is called the Centenary Movement in honor of the event. This campaign has folr aims: first, the enrolment of the members in league of prayer; second: the enlistment of a large number of young people for the ministry, missionary work, and ser vice in the home church; third: the adoption of the tithing plan for rais ing church money; fourth: the SC. curing a special fund of s35 ,O0O ,000 to be used during the next five years in enlarging the present home and foreign mission work and for doing reconstruction work in the war wrecked countries of Europe. The Methodists undertake to serve all the people, and they deserve to succeed with this remarkable program.

THE KU KLUX KHAN,

Cues. What was the Ku Klux Klan {?
 Ans. Society founded at Pulaski Tenn, in 1866. Its chief purpose originally was to provide amusement for its members, all Southerners, but in time it began opposition to reconstruction acts and to exercise of franchise by freed negroes. In some cases negroes were very severe ly treated in order to intimidate them and keep them from voting. An act of congress finally provided mea- sures for suppressing such organi- zations and the Ku Klux Klsn dis banded.
 The above article was taken from the Question Box of The Path. finder" Coming from this source one would hardly expect an honest or intelligent expression, but the ig- norance displayed by this imbecile description of the Invisible Empire will prove refreshing to those who know what the Ku Klux Klan did for the South in her most crucial mo- ment.
