LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
BOY MAKES A RECORD

It is always satisfactory to note
the progress of local youth in their
efforts to make good in any line OF
endeavor. Along this line, the "Demo'
crat" takes occasion to congratulate
Garland Taylor, of this city, and 9
graduate of the class of 1888.
Young Taylor is taking business
course and the Vice-President Of the
institution where he is studying writes
to his mother as follows:
"In test of forty problems cover
ing four divisions of work, he made
100 per cent. Out of 565 students
in the school, only four students made
this record of 100 per cent, and I know
that you are pleased to know that
Garland was one of the four.
Students who took the test repres-
ented 1875 high schools, universities,
and colleges"
This is, indeed, fine record and
reflects much credit upon the boys
ambitious work.

LOCAL CUNTS
WILL CONTEST
FOR SUPREMACY
National Guards And TexacOs
Will Lock Horns On The
Evening Of March 8
BOTH TEAMS HAVE HAD
SUCCESSFUL SEASON

The Texaco and Guards will bring
the basketball season to close OF
next Wednesday night, March 9th al
8.P. M. when the two teams meet to
decide the basketball supremacy Of
the lower Eastern Shore Peninsula.
The fans have been clamoring fol
this game all season inasmuch as both
teams have been defeating the best
the Shore has had to offer.
The Guards followers claim that
the experience of such veterans as
Collie Miller, Tom Miller, Edward Nc
Gee, Herman Phillips, AL Hayman
Preston Mason, Buddy West and Har-
ny Coulbourne will be too much for
the Texaco lads; whereas, the Texaco
rooters claim that the gas boys have
two good teams of young players who
will outrun and out pass the Soldiers.
They are of the opinion that youth
and stamina will bring the Texacos
victory. These youngsters are of the
college age and include such outstand-
ing stars as Ashley Miles, Joe Levin,
Charles Byrd; Curtis Callahan, Paul
Cutler, Wilson Hancock, Paul Merrill,
and the three Allen boys, Norman,
Earl and Bob.
Last week the Texacos and Guards
lost to Cambridge and Laurel respec-
lively for their second loss of the
home season but both of the teams
were without the services of their
key men. The Texaco squad was mi
nus the services of four of their reg
ulars and the Guards were without
the services of Edward MCGEE, consid-
cred the best court man on the PENN
sula in getting the ball off the back
boards, both on defense and offense.
MCGEE stands over six feet four and
II is believed that the Texacos will
find that scoring around him will be
quite q fete inasmuch as he stopped
many a scoring threat from the opposi
ton in games played by the Guards
here this year.
The scoring honors for both teams
are expected from two sets Of broth
ers, the Guards Miller brothers and
the Texacos' Allen brothers. It j.
to be noted that the combination Of
Cole Miller and Tom Miller have
scored approximately two-thirds o.
their teams points, the former being
che highet scorer on the Easter
Shore. Whereas the Allen boys have
scored as many points for their team

GUARDS FIND
STRONG FOES In
VIRGINIA BOYS
Eagles, Of PungOteague, Ac'
knowledge Defeat By The
Score Of 43 To 40

A basketball team, under the name
of Pungoteague Eagles, played at the
local Armory Wednesday night. The
Eagles, playing their first season as a
team, have plenty of height and
weight together with experienced
players. They have played most OF
the teams on the lower shore with a
fair percentage of victories.
The Eagles manager "Sticks" Tay-
lor, promised his team would show the
local boys few tricks and they did,
grabbing the lead in the first few
minutes of play with six points before
the Guards could get the ball into a
scoring position. In the second quar-
ter, the Guards climbed steadily but
the half ended with the visitors out
in front, Eagles 10, Guards Is.
The Eagles started the second half
with a rush that placed them well in
the lead, but, late in the third quarter,
the Guards rallied and went into the
lead for the first time in the game.
The last quarter was a real contest
even though the Guards maintained
their small lead. The Eagles were
handicapped by having Mast, their
Captain, retired from the game in the
third quarter. The final score was:

Legislature, he has been known as
liberal, and support he will have
among the liberals. Furthermore
he made distinctly favorable i'm
preston on many of the business
people and the so-called conserva-
tives when he fought the Supreme
Court reorganization bill in 1887.
Senator Wheeler at present is in
tent upon entering the race for re-
election to the Senate. His first
step, therefore. will be to file for
denomination to the Office he now
holds. Until he has done so, he will
make no open move to get into the
presidential contest. But after that,
it may be expected that he will per-
NIT his name to be entered in the
presidential primaries. In all prob
ability he will be before the voters
in the New Hampshire primary
the first on the list, to be held in
March.
Native of Massachusetts,.
Although he halls now from
Montana, Senator Wheeler is a
native New Englander-he was born
in Massachusetts. He has many
friends in that section of the coun-
try, section that is clannish in it's
likes and dislikes. 1t is not unfit
ting, therefore. that he should make
his first bid for preferment in New
Hampshire.
The Montana Senator in his II
years in the Senate has become a
national figure, and it is as such he
will be accorded recognition rather
than as the Senator from a Western
State with only a handful of cleo
toral votes. He has been the
spearhead of many contest over
national issues, in this administra-
ton as we'll as in the days of Re-
publican rule. Always he has been
in the forefront of battles to i'm
prove the condition of labor and of
the farmers.
Much will depend upon whether
President Roosevelt is willing to

against the court bill The Mon
tana Senator was one of the first
to espouse the cause of Franklin
D. Roosevelt in the days of 1881
and 1932-"before Chicago"-af1d
he was tower of strength for the
Roosevelt forces in the 1882 con-
vention fight which ended in the
first nomination of President
Roosevelt. He led the fight in the
Senate to put through the public
utilities bill, one of the admins
tration's pet measures. All of which
might we'll offset his detection from
the Roosevelt forces in the court
bill fight
Roosevelt Demands Liberal.
The President has made it clear
on many occasions that the Demo-
Gratis must nominate a liberal for
President in 1910 if they are to
have any chance to win. And as
a liberal Wheeler stands out among
other presidential possibilities on
the Democratic side of the fence.
Those who have had the ear-and
voice-of the President say that he
has never turned thumbs down on
Mr.. Wheeler, although he has never
Endorsed him.
