Origin Of Word Assassin

The word assassin originated in
Persia in the Eleventh century. It
derives from hashish, the intoxicat-
ing Indian drug which at that time
was used by notorious murderers
under one Hasan-i-Sabbah to work
themselves into the high state of
ruthlessness required for their
crimes. AS a tactic in attacking
vested authority assassination is as
old as man. It is notably the most
ubiquitous and immediate of dan
gers to autocratic government, as
has been proved by the violent
deaths of high percentage Of die
tators from Julius Caesar to those
of modern times.

asked to participate in this action.
France and Russia formally noti-
fed Czechoslovakia that they would
give that nation armed support

Germany. Great Britain, while not
going so far as this, warned Hitler
that it expected him to observe the
assurances he had given that he

Careless Trump Handling.

WHILE contract bidding has i'm

the last few years. the play of the

In particular, the old belief that de-
clarer should draw all the trumps in
order to prevent opposing ruffs is still
followed too reGgiously. Our own
opinion is that trumps should be
drawn only when this does not pre-

West opened the 10 Of hearts and
declarer, noting that the lead was
from short suit, won in dummy with
the ace and Immediately drew three
rounds Of trumps, landing in his own
hand. He next led small diamond
to dummy's queen and East made the
deceptive play Of staying of with his
ace. Declarer knew that he would
have to lose trick in hearts and one
in diamonds. and il the ace of clubs
was adversely placed, he would have
to lose two club tricks. However, at
this stage it looked as though the ace
OF diamonds were right, and If this
were the case. he could get rid Of q
losing club. With this idea in mind,
declarer led q fourth round of trumps
to his hand and then led his remain
ing diamond. This time East cap
tured dummy's king and third dia-
mond lead forced declarers last
trump and East was later able to win
q second diamond trick, plus q heart
and club trick. While Esst had
fooled declarer and given him .
chance to make mistake, East should
never have had the opportunity. De-
clarer should have played only one
round Of trumps and then led a dia-
mond. Now If East ducked. declarer
would then draw the two remaining
trumps and lead his other diamond.
Then it would have been totally un-
necessary for declarer to play fourth
round of trumps and inasmuch as his
king of clubs was behind the ace, he
would have m4de his contract.

Durunt Wins And Loses
Against Goodman

For the second time in as many
weeks the Durant softballers divided
a twin bill with the Goodman squad,
gaining a 5 to 3 decision Tuesday af-
sernoon at Goodman by rallying for
3 runs in the sixth inning, but drop
ping the second affair and suffering
the humiliation of q whitewash by
2 to 0 %
In the opening clash Wiley Hum
ohries emerged the winner with an
other three-hit pitching performance,
the second such game in succession
he has contributed to the locals
IN the second contest of a double
header here last week he restricted
he Goodman lads to 3 safeties in
INNING 8 to 2.
The only runs registered off the
Durant Highlander were unearned
and came in the fifth frame when
Wise led off with a double and took
third on Clark's error in center. Sem
ter then drove a single to center to
count Wise. Biggers hit a grounder
to Clements who fumbled the ball
but threw to third to force Senter.
Stoddard was safe when Allen dron-
ped his fly in right. Beatty was safe
on a fielder's choice to load the bases
Hallock then hit a ground ball to
w. HUMPHREYS, who tossed to M.
Thompson, but the latter dropped the
throw and Biggers crossed the plate
Thomas then walked to force Stod-
dard home.
Durant Tailed twice in the second
inning on a lone blow. Wilkes led
off with a single and took second
on an error by Beatty in center. He
later scored on an error by Biggers
at home plate. Montgomery was safe
at second on Haynes tumble and Ia
ter registered on an error by the
pitcher, Wise.
Three more runs came home in the
sixth when w. HUMPHREYS tripled and
tailed on Haynes error at second.
After Drane flied out, Wilkes dou-
bled. Clements hit a long high fly to
right and when Stoddard dropped the
ball, both n scampered across
the platter.
Durant obtained Z hits off Thomas
in tne nightcap but could not produce
any power with men on bases. Both
scores produced by the winners were
the result of errors with the locals
being charged with 4 misdemeanors,
while Goodman fielded flawlessly.
Carroll limited his opponents to 5
wallops, with two figuring in the
'un-making.
Wilkes with foul out of six was the
only player to hit consistently dur

Duront Divides Boil
Comes With Goodman
BY william Cathey

The Durant softballers continued
their old tricks of faulty base run
ming and error making here Friday
afternoon and presented the Good
man squad with a 5 to 8 decision in
the opener of a doubleheader in spite
OF the fact that Wiley HUMPHREYS
permitted just six safeties and the
visitors were guilty of s miscues as
compared to 4 for the losers.
Fol a while in the second contest
1t appeared as if Goodman were go
ing to make a clean sweep OF the
twin bill although they did not hit
safely until the fifth chapter off w.
HUMPHREYS, who yielded only 3 blows
altogether, but a six-run outburst in
the fifth stanza after two were out
enabled Durant to gain the verbs,
6 to 2.
In the initial affair each outfit
counted in the first inning. The Wis
itors registered three times in the
third to take the lead that was never
overcome, but they can thank local
boobies for their big inning, as three
errors, coupled with a mere single,
produced the tallies. The home for
ces scored run in each the fourth
and fifth periods and the visitors
concluded the run-making with o
arker In the seventh.
In the nightcap Goodman received
l donation in the third canto when
Wise, first up, walked, took second on
the pitchers error and counted on
Montgomery's tumble. They brought
home their final counter in the fifth
on a double by Haines and a single
by Abbott.
Things began to happen in the home
half of the fifth that resembled o
July the fourth celebration. With
two men out, Odom was safe on an
error by. the second baseman and
scored when M. HUMPHREYS doubled.
w. HUMPHREYS slammed a home run
to right field to bring home another
brace of markers. Drane singled
Wilkes singled, sending Drane to
second. Clements singled to count
Drane and when the short fielder
iuggled the. ball, Wilkes took third
and Clements second. Montgomery
then tripled to register both Wilkes
and Clements.
Drane and Clements with three hits
each paced the locals al the plate

Holmes County pioneer lies sleeping.
Last Thursday morning, at his home
one mile north of Durant, after many
months of illness, John Davis, sur
rounded by his devoted family, drop
ped into that sleep that knows no
waking.
For thirty-seven years Mr.. Davis
had lived near Durant and was class
ed as one of Holmes County's most
progressive farmers. In the hey-day
of his strength the products of his
fertile acres were transported to all
parts of the country. He thoroughly
demonstrated that human coopera-
ton with Divine aid produced the
best results.
He was a kind father and a de-
2oted companion. Had his life been
prolonged until November, he and his
wife would nave celebrated their 58th
anniversary.
HIS funeral was preached Al the
Methodist Church Friday morning by
his pastor, Bro. E. s. Lewis. Follow
ed by a host of friends he was laid
tenderly to rest near his friends and
comrades of other days.
He is survived by his wife, Jour
cons, Brooks and Ernest of Durant,
John Lee, Jr. of New York, and Tom
If Pennsylvania, and one daughter,
Mrs. Jimmy Lee Sheehy of Durant.
