NEWARK TAKES TWO
 GAMES FROM NEWPORT
HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS EASY WIN NERS IN FIRST GAMES OF
 THE SEASON

Newark athletic fans on last Sat urday afternoon witnessed two of the best games of popular sport ever played on the Newark field, when both the Boys and Girls Basket Ball Teams met the teams of the Newport High School
 The games were played alternately, the girls playing first, and during the rest period between the first and second half of the girls game, the boys played the first half of their game The home girls were in the lead at the start of the game and at the end of the first half the score was Is to for the local team.
 In the first half of the boys game, the home lads easily outplayed the Newport boys and boosted the score on Newport's errors.
 The second half of the girls game was hard-fought, and the Newport girls played better ball than in the 
 first half, the final score resulting in 28 for Newark and 12 for Newport. The last half of the boys game was characterized by the easy hand ling of the ball by the home team. Everywhere, every time, it seemed to be in their hands and through their goal. The final score resulted in AZ for Newark and for Newport. Both the Newport teams are con- posed of jolly, good od-mannered, fine young ladies and young men and a spirit of fairness and good judgment was manifest throughout each of the games, and it was expressed in ath- letie circles here that never had New ark played more fair and square team than each of the Newport teams. 1 The lineup was as follows:

TAXPAYER ANSWERS
 QUESTIONS FOR BEST
SAYS LAW FURNISHES AMPLE SAFEGUARDS FOR FUNDS OF
 ROAD DISTRICTS

Editor Journal.-With your indul- gence, l wish to make feeble reply to an article published in The Journal, October g by Mr. Best.
 In the first place he complains that l attacked him in an article I had written some time ago, because he had answered an atricle written by a Good Roads Booster from Cord, in which Mr. Best discussed the merits of Road Improvement District No. 3. l must emphatically deny that I made an attack on MT. Best, personally, but against the course pursued and the tactics adopted in regard to Road Dis trict No. 3, by Mir Best and his fol- lowers.
 In my article 1 asked Mir Best some questions with reference to his actions heretofore and what his future course would be towards this Newark to Cord road. These questions he failed to answer, because I did not sign my name to the article.
 Now, Mr. Best, why did you render such an excuse as that for not answ- ering those questions? If you re- member, you did not hesitate one min ute to reply to the Good Road Boost CT from Cord and while you was doing so you could not be eontented until you had vented your spleen trying to discredit and blacken the good name and reputation of the Commissioners, so you could have as well answered Taxpayers" article because you did not know either the Booster or Taxpayer" But let us analyze the facts and see if your reason for not answering was because the Taxpayer did not sign his name; or was there another reason why you did not answ- CT?
 First, 1t is a we'll known fact to the Taxpayer and many others, that Mir. Best did ask with others, the Commissioners of Road District Nc. 3 not to proceed further with their du- ties as such Commissioners, until MT. Best and others could ask the Legis- lature to repeal the Act creating Road District No. 3. It is also a well known fact that Mr Best and others signed a petition requesting the Leg islature to repeal that law, and more

for the purpose of delaying eonstruc- tion or killing the road, I don't know which. But 1 do know this much, 1 have seen a petition which is being circulated, asking the County Judge to appoint Mr. Best and two more former knockers, as Commissioners for Road District No. 8. And this l think, was the real cause why A. T. Best did not answer the Taxpayers s questions. 1 am sure MT. Best will have real hard time convincing the people and the County Judge that he is anything but a good roads knocker still. And if the County Judge should appoint such knockers as this peti- tion asks him to appoint-oh, well, l am not uneasy about his doing so.
 Now, MT. Best, don't persist in straddling the fence any longer on this road matter. Get on the one side that you belong and tell the peo- pie honestly and sincerely that you are not in favor of building this road because it will cost you something.
 Now, Mir. Editor, I thank you you very much for your courtesy and kind indulgence toward me, through the publication of this article and wish to say to Mir. Best in conclusion that I hope he has received all the information he desires and that he will not care whether I sign my name or not, because 1 wish to remain for the present, at least, merely Taxpay- CT, residing in Road District No. 8, and having no notion of changing my address soon.
 Respectfully,
 TAXPAYER.

BUNCH ADVISES FARMERS
 TO TAKE CARE OF COTTON

The continued rains ale delaying the farmers to great extent in pick ing the cotton crop and 1t is said that, in their eagerness to get the crop out, many farmers are gathering cotton wet.
 County Agent Leland Bunch has issued the following statement, in which he advises the farmers to guard against picking cotton wet:
 Much cotton is being picked and ginned wet in Independence County and throughout the State at the pres ent time This means that lint and seed from such cotton will be badly damaged and heavy losses will be sus- tained by the farmers who do not wait for afr weather to pick their cotton. Cotton picked wet can never dry and is likely to become a total loss.
 Good cotton is selling for too much money for anyone to risk picking a single pund when not in proper condi- tion to bring the market price. There is enough damaged and rotten cotton on the market from last years crop to fill every demand for the next twelve months.
 Wait till the weather fairs up, and pick cotton dry, gin it dry and keep it dry. It will then bring what it is worth. Don't lose the opportunity te market good quality of cotton by picking before it gets thoroughly dry

than that he and others have contrib uted towards an attorney fee to test the Constitutionality of the law ere ating this road District before Judge Reeder in the Chancery Court, and in his article answering the Good Roads Booster from Cord, he says, q AM IN FAVOR OF GOOD ROADS" I ask him to tell the people what caus- ed this change of heart, which he refused to answer because I, the Tax payer, did not sign my name. Oh, no, my brother that commission of the Taxpayers name was not the req son why you did not answer, but the real reason is you realized that you had waded in too deep. You knew that the people would not believe you sincere when you said you believed in good roads, because your former ac- tions would not bear out your asser- ton.
 MT. Best tries to get by in this matter by asking the Taxpayer who the bonded officers would be that would handle the funds of Road Im- proyement Dist No. 3. We'll he thou ght he had asked an embarrassing question to Taxpayer, but he had not. For Mr. Best's special benefit and to show how little he had informed him. self with reference to the law cre- ating this road, I will, with pleasure, tell him that the taxes are to be col lected by the Tax Collector of Inde- pendence County, and the Commis- sioners had designated W. W. Jerni- gan, Cashier of the First National Bank of Newark, as depository for said Road District No. and that he would have been required to fill pond in double the amount of mon ey that would have been in his hands at any one time. Does that look like safe proposition?
 And while 1 am answering ques- tions, will answer one that Mr. Best refused to answer, when I asked him what caused this change of heart, or why he had changed from knocker to that of booster. We'll, MT. Best here 1t is: when you realized that you could not kill the road outright, you did the very next worse thing you could, that is, you was able to have the Act amended in a manner that reduced the tax rate to a point where the road could not be built under the plans and specifications of the engi- neers, and obtained the removal of the Commissioners which vacancies are to be filled by the County Judge, so the PIE counter revolved before your vision, hence the change of heart, and presto, change, from knocker to boost CT. Either a chance for a job and a place at the pie counter, or else a place on the board of commissioners
