BASKET BALL
Mart in Institute Defeats Winder
In a clean and hard fought game,
Martin Institute defeated Winder
High here Saturday night. The M. I.
boys were out for revenge, and the
cehool was behind them. The pass
ing and Shooting of M. I. was extra
good that night. The score at the
end of the half was Winder 9, Martin
institute 20. At the beginning of
the second half, two subs were sent
in to relieve Culberson and Davis.
This accounts for the closeness of the
•core. M. I. clearly outclassed the
visiting boys in every department of
the game. This was the first defeat
for Winder by M. I, during the past
two years. The Winder boys seemed
to think they were going to have a
walk away, but they soon found out
different.
The score was as follows:
M. L
Holder—l 6.
Culberson—ll.
Sheridan—lo.
Thurmond—2.
Davis.
Winder—
Harrison—7.
Wilson—l 7.
Perry—4.
Patrick—l.
Harris.
Dry Pond V*. Second Team
On Tuesday night the M. I. second
team defeated Dry I’ond 24 to 3.
This was one of the most amusing
games seen in a long time, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Garrison, for Dry Pond, was the best
floor man on either team. He was
in every play. Vandiver probably
played the best game for the Scrubs.
The M. I. team did not sh<4K very
much “pep.” They were slow, poor
in passing, and could not handle the
ball. We suggest that Vandiver soak
his hands in glue befor the next
game. Legg played a good game at
guard for the M. I. team, but he
could not handle the ball.
The score was as follows:
M. L
A yen—6.
Stockton—6.
Vandiver—B.
Frost— 4.
Legg
Dry Pond—
Small—l.
Garrison, S.—2.
Whitmire.
Garrison, A.
DeLay.
Referee —Ayers.
M. I. Defeat* Bogart
After the scrubs had defeated Dry
Pond, the varsity administered a 42
to 15 defeat to Bogart. For Bogart,
the playing of Harper, who was cen
ter, was the feature of the game.
This boy scored 12 of the 15 points
made. He was especially good on
long shets. The M. I. boys played
together unusually well. The team
work on the part of the local boys
Was the best we have seen this year.
Their five man defense worked much
better than it has been working. The
guarding of Davis wa* above the
average. Time and time he would
break up an attempted shot on the
part of Bogart. The game was
clean, and the visiting boys were all
clean fellows.

Braselton is our next opponent.

WEALTHY CITIZEN
DIES SATURDAY
AT GAINESVILLE
Gainesville, Ga., January 20. Dr.
Joseph H. Daniel, Gainesville capi
talist, died at his home here on
Green street late Saturday after
noon after a protracted illness.
1 Dr. Daniel came here from Jackson
county in 1874 where- he practiced
medicine for several years. After
taking up his residence in Gainesville
he was in the mercantile business!
wjth his brother, T. A. Daniel, now
of Atlanta. Dr. Daniel was one of
Gainesville’s wealthiest men and
owned valuable property in Atlanta.
He is survived by one daughter, 1
Miss Alice Daniel, of Gainesville,
and one brother, T. A. Daniel, of At
lanta. Funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon at the First,
Methodist church. Interment was in
the Alta Vista cemetery.
WILL RUN FOR SHERIFF
We have been requested by Mr.
R. M. Culberson to state that he will
be a candidate for sheriff of Jackson
county, and that his announcement
will appear at an early date.
In an address of welcome delivered
by Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Com
merce, at the opening of Farmers
Week in Athens, he stressed
|>oint that in a large measure Geor
gia’s progress in the past seventeen
years has been due to the existence
of the agricultural college and its
teachings. Especial importance did
he attach to soil analysis and the
home economies department. He
urged a closer union between the
agricultural and business interests of
the state and emphatically declared
that when such a union is effected
Georgia will in truth be the most pro
gressive and prosperous state in the
Union.
The boy who stays on the farm
and learns the business of farming
will be the power in the business
world of tomorrow. Learning real
farming today means independence
in the future. The money that is to
be made in the future of this country
is more largely in the lands than any
where else. The young man will do
well to realize that.—Cordele Dis
patch.
Messrs. Bennett & Son regret the
departure of their weather thermom
eter. If the party who took it will
put it back where they got it, no
questions will be asked. It was tack
ed on the side wall of the door, and
quite a number of people watched
the capers cut by it during this cold
weather.
CHEERFULNESS
g.: ;
Thank God for the one who is cheer
ful
In spite of life's troubles, I say;
Who sings of a brighter tomorrow
Because of the clouds of today;
His life is a beautiful sermon,
And this is the lesson to me;
Meet trials with smiles and they van
ish,
Face cpres with a song and they
flee.

GEORGIA VISITED BY A SECOND
COLD WAVE
The second coldest weather of the
winter visited Georgia Sunday night,
Monday and Tuesday. The tempera
ture began to drop Sunday after
noon, and the descent was rapid, and
people awoke Monday morning to
find themselves in the grip of anoth
er bitter cold wave. The thermom
eter at the hmoe of the writer regis
tered 12 degrees Monday morning,
and 14 degrees Tuesday morning.
Bitter cold winds made it very disa
greeable. Many homes in Jefferson
are inconvenienced on account of
bursted water pipes.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES
(By the Reporter)
We missed last week on account of
being out of the city Wednesday.
Next Monday evening the regular*
monthly meeting of the Laymens
League will be held. Stewardship and
Missions will be discussed. All mem
bers urged to be present.
Usual services right along in spite
of the inclement weather. If it’s
some place of amusement, the weath
er does not keep us away.
The pastor is -giving us some
stong sermons, both morning and
evening, every Sabbath. We had
notes on the ones recently delivered,
but they are not in hand as we go
to w 7 rite this. Those who were pres
ent will agree with me, and those who
were absent without excuse are the
losers. You have to be present at
anything to hear it. Well, if it’s by
radio, may be not.
The many friends of our sister,
Mrs. Ed Hardy, are glad she has suffi
ciently recovered to be at home, and
on the road to good health again.
Some of our members are attend
ing the services at Winder this week.
Pastor Dodd is a busy man, and gets
the best things for his people. This
scribe shook hands With Dr. W. H.
Faust, the former pastor, in Atlanta
one day last week, and regretted we
could not accept his offer of hospi
tality.
The third South-wide Organized
Bible Class Conference was in ses
sion for three days at the Tabernacle
church in Atlanta last week. It was
well attended, and the exercises were
interesting and instructive from first
to last. The session for the ladies,
were held in the First church. Among
those attending from here were Rev.
A. J. Johnson, A. C. Brown, W. D.
Duck, J. C. Bennett, Sr., and possi
bly others.
It was indeed a great joy to have
our former pastor, Rev. Milo H. Mas
sey, at the prayer service two weeks
•ago. And he was glad to be here,
and said so. Come again. No pastor
has tver done a more lasting and en
during service than did he, while in
our midst.
If in need of Coal, call
Smith Hardware.
Representative Lee Langley of
Rome declares we have too many
elections; too much trafficking in po
litical patronage; too many laws
and too much law making; too ex
pensive and unnecessary campaigns.
Mr. Langley proposes, first, four
year terms for all state house offices,
with the governor ineligible to suc
ceed himself; second, biennial ses
sions of the legislature; third, civil
sevice system for all employees of
all branches of the state government;
fourth, reduction of the membership
of the house of representatives to
about one-third the present number.

THINK MULES POISON
WHEN THEY LICK BARREL
Moultrie, Ga., January 14.—J. H.
Phillips, a farmer, reports the loss
of four fine mules as the result of
poison they are believed to have got
ten by licking a barrel which a few
months ago contained poison for
killing boll weevils. One of the mules
died in a short time, but the others
were sick a day or so. Mr. Phillips
at first thought the animals had been
deliberately poisoned, but the find
ing of the empty poison barrel con
vinced him that that was the source
of the poison.
A TERRIBLE ARRAIGNMENT
Dr. Charles J. Smith, president of
Roanoke College, Va., has this to
say about the modern girl. Reading
it, you will hope £hat what he says
surely can not be true: “Some wom
en in every age drank liquor, a few
even enjoyed a smoke; many of them
threw away their honor, but the
world has never known the turning
loose of such an army of hard
drinking, cigarette-puffing, licentious
Amazons as walk the streets and in
vade the college campuses today.”
