A. & M. Defeats W. & L.
Notfolk, Va., Nov. 27.—The game
here today, which A. & M. won from
Washin^on and Lee by the score of
6 to 0, was played upon a rather poor
athletic field before a crowd of five
thousand people, the majority of
whom were rooters from the A. and
M. team. The weather was ideal from
a football standpoint, the sky was
^>ay with clouds and a slight wind
from tVie east.
A. and M. won the toss and took
the east goal, with a slight wind to
their backs and at three o’clock
Young, of Washington and Lee, start
ed the most brilliant game seen in
the south for many a day with a kick
to Sullivan, who brought the ball
back fifteen yards.
The game was blayed brilliantly by
both teams and the only error of
judgment was made by Ar and M.
taking chances with drop kicks and
forward passes in the last quarter af
ter they had scored six points. This
■was quickly stopped by Coach Green,
w’ho sent in Osborn to replace Sulli
van for a few minutes with the neces
sary instructions to hi;; team.
The mighty Miller the 250 pound
guard of Washington and Lee was
brought back and shot with all his
might and bulk at the A. and M. line,
only to go odwn without a gaiH.
Although he was supposed to be
able to rip through any line he was
chucked todsy by McHenry and did
not once tackle an A. and M. runner
until after the scrimmage line was
reached.
Teimey was injured in the first
quarter and was not again put into
the game, un'.il the ball was in strik
ing distance of the Virginia goal in
the last quarter, when he limped out
upon the field to replace Scarry, and
in two rushes carried the ball over
Capt. Miles for the lone touchdown.
Sullivan foi* A. and M. was the star
of the field and his passing on the
forward passes was brilliant, as was
also his winning and defensive game.
Van Brocklin was always causing
trouble for Virginia and once when
the little red-headed quarterback
broke through Washington and Lee’s
line for a long run and was so sav
agely tackled and whipped to the
ground by tv.o Virginians that we on
the side of the line thought he was
probably out of the game, he turned
on his side with the happiest smile on
his face and was calling signals be
fore his team court line up.
Walace Riddick played a game of
which he may be proud, and when
his father said I want to find Wal
lace to see if he is hurt he found
the great, husky half-back on the
shoulders of his college mates and
Prof. Riddick’s query as to how he
felt sounded like a joke.
Capt. Hurt outplayed Capt. Miles
throughout the game, and between
the two for all South Atlantic tackle
there is no doubt in the minds of
tViOxSe v/ho rfay the game.
Graham Anthony spoiled many
plays for Washington and Lee and
his work at halfback two years was
an invaluable aid to him this year
at guard. It is hard not to mention
one man without mentioning all, and
McDougal. Winston, Plyler, F^rder-
ber and Little Seifert did all that was
asked of them.
Washington and Lee began the
game by kicking to Sullivan, who
brought the ball back fifteen yards.
Capt. Miles, of Virginia, off side on
first rush and A. and M. gets five
yards. Tenney plunges through him
for four yaids and Sullivan goes out
side tackie for ten. Tenney gains four
yards and A. and M. loses fifteen
yards for holding. Riddiek gains sev
en and one-half yards and on fourth
dov/n kicks to Donahue, v/ho runs
oack tell yards after dodging Ferder-
ber.
Young gai?!S five yards but loses
ball on next down by a fumble on
Washington and Lee's twenty-seven
yard line. McDougal is hurt in the
play. Tenney rushes, but no gain.
Van Bfocklin goes around left end
f:>r sev£>} yards. A. and M. fumbles
and Barrov/ recovers ball for Wash
ington iird Lee.

Down in Atlanta the modern host
of Joshua went up against the citadel
of the legalized social evil, and began
to march about it daily, blowing
rams’ horns—or what was the modern
equivalent thereof,, daily newspaper
advertisments. At first Jericho jeer
ed. Then it mistrusted. Then it
feared. Then the citadel collapsed.
The Old Testament story was re
peated once more.
In truth the fall of Jericho is a
word picture of human experience,
wheh is every day illustrated. “This
is the victory * * * even your
faith.” The conquests of confidence
are a daily occurrence in business,
as well as in religion. It is an eternal
law that Jericho fell before the trum
pets of faith. “According to your
faith be it unto you.” One reason
more citadels of sin do not fall is
because Christians sit cowering and
complaining in their tents, making
fear’s futile plans, instead of march
ing forth to a confident assault, re
membering that “the righteous are
bold as a lion;” and that the promise
is that one man shall chase a thous
and. Let us go to Jericho and learn
a lesson in ihs art of spiritual v/ar-
fare.

A FRESH START IN THE NEW
LAND.
There was nothing rash about the
siege. The Israelites viewed the sit
uation with deliberation. They sent
forth their spies. They took all pre-
cautons. They made sure of their
orders. Because they had made ready
they did not get panicky. It is the
unprepared who go to pieces in an
emergency.
The end of one stage of their ma
terial life had ceased. Jordan had
been crossed. The manna had ceas
ed, New responsibilities had come
upon them. Hanng become men they
put away childish dependence. Hence
forth they must maintain themselves
by the fruit of the land—which in
cluded Jericho i The person who
wants thep rivileges of manhoo'd with
none of its responsibilities and tasks
has really never grown up.
This new era was begun with a
religious ceremony, even as many
newly married folk set up their home
with a little service of dedication.
Wise are they w’ho fare forth to great
service, with an act of dedication. “If
thou goest not up with me, carry me
not up hence.’’ The altar of worship
and service should be at the begin
ning and the center of every life and
there were a better recognition of the
home. More Jerichos would fall if
part of God in their overthrow.
THE CITADEL FIRST.
Ali Canaans have their Jerichos,
which must be overcome before we
can enter into possession. The land
of milk and honey lies on the other
side of the conquered fortress. The
pilgrim must pass the lions before
he comes to the Celestial City. Dif
ficulties test our fitness. Life is but
a task on which to try the soul’s
sword. The new generation of youth
who covet “easy money,” who want
the world’s rewards but decline to
pay its dues, are in a perilous case.
The program for the conquest of
Jericho, as laid down by Jehovah, was
almost absurdly simple. For the host
of Israel, led by the ark and the
priests, were to march once a day
around the citadel for six days, and
seven times on the seventh day. They
were to go in silence, giving no heed
to the taunts of the warriors Ininy
the walls. They were not to boast or
to shake their v/eapons in defiance.
Taunt was not to be answered with
taunt, jeer with jcsr. A now fashion
was introduced into v/ai’fare. Thi.s
procession wa?> more lil'.e ?, religious
cercinony than r military ;:iege. That
was the Planner s idea; ti)e glory
should go to God, and not to man’s
prowess. The'priests led off in the
steady march of the disciplined Israel
ites. The ark was first. The symbol
of Jehovah was given precedence.
THE SILENCE OF STRENGTH.
Can any one wonder that the thing
got on Jericho’s nerves ?, The silence
of the marchers was more terrifying
than the familiar shouting of war
riors. Already the fame of Jehovah’s
dealings with Israel had tvirned the
hearts of the heathen to water. Now
this assumed silence spelled an un
canny faith, “In quietness and con
fidence shall be your strength.” The
event recalls the apostolic word. “Be
ambitious to be quiet.” Which
Carlyse puts into a thunderous injunc
tion, “A little more silent, please.”
The last day in the camp of Israel
appeals to the imagination. Every
body was keyed to the highest pitch.
There was little sleep for anybody.
Happily, the order for the day re
quired an early start for that seven
fold march around the city—no small
task, being a journey of 20 or 30
miler..
It was toward evening when a long
blast of the rams’ horns sounded, and
Joshua gave the expected word,
‘^^out! for jehovah hath given you
the city.” What is that? Shout
while the walls ar-e still up? “God
hath given you the city,” though there
it still stands in insolent devance?
Yes, just so. That is victory by an
ticipation. “This is the victory that
overcometh the world, even your
faith.”
Read the thrilling dramatic nar
rative: “So the people shouted, and
the priests blew the trumpets; * *
the people shouted with a great
shout, and the fall fell down flat.”
Yes, it fell flat: God always does a
complete task. It was not merely a
breached wall, but a crumpled up and
collapsed thing that the Israelitss
could walk over.
Here eater the wise modernists
who talk about “other vibrations,”

and point to the wireless telegraph
as possible explanations of the mir
acle. We now know that these forces
have always been in the world; and
God has often used natural agencies
which were at the time incomprehen
sible to us. But the point is that God
uses them. “This is the Lord’s doings
and it is wonderful in our eyes.” The
how of it ali concerns^ us less than
the stupendous truth that “God is on
the field when he is most invisible.”
Jericho was conquei’ed by the Jews
and God working in God’s way. Ah,
to be a marching private in the faith
ful ranks, when God goes forth to
war!
OTHER WALLS THAT FALL.
If anybody thinks the fall of Jeri
cho marvelous, let him look upon
greater marvels. See the early mis-
mionary to China, crying with tears
of despair, “0, rock! 0 rock! When
wilt thou open to my Lord?” In our
day we have seen the rock riven, and
the Christian gospel go in to revolu
tionary triumph.
Higher, broader, older and strong
er walls than those of old Jericho
have fallen before our eyes. Consid
er he caimibal isles that are now
Christian communities, with better
kept Sabbaths than we know in Amer
ica. Recall old Korea, lately a heath
en heimit nation; now a land of won
derful spiritual experiences with peo
ple thronging to study the Bible, at
tend church and do persoiial Christian
work.
There never was such a day of
Christian dominion today, With
appropriateness is the facade of the
Washington Terminal inscribed,
“Thou has put all things under His
feet.” Today as of old, “faith is the
victoi’y.” God is having his way in
the world. Well for those who march
with Israel, rather than jeer with
Jericho.

Judge Carter said that if the 3,000
barrels which is the amount estifnat-
ed, each barrel averaging four feet
in height, were stacked one upon the
other on Pack Square, there would
be 150 columns as high as Vance
monument, 20 columns as high as the
Washington monument, 50 as high as
the Bunker Hill monument and 12 as
high as the Eiffel tov/er, the highest
in the world.
Judge Carter then made some
equally interesting statements con
cerning he records compiled of the
three drug stores of the city which
have sold whiskey on prescription,
the owners and managers of which
have been under heavy bonds for the
past two weeks charged with viola
tions of the law.
The three drug stores received dur
ing the 10 months period over 22,000
gallons of intoxicants, a little over
8,000 gallons were dispense on pre
scription, leaving an overplus of
14,000, the overplus relating wholly to
MacKay’s pharmacy and the Century
Drug Store and its predecessors.

90,000 Gallons of Booze Disposed of
in Ten Months.
Asheville, Nov. 28.—Announcements
made this morning by Judge Frank
Carter, .sitting as a committing mag
istrate in the investgaton ino alleg
ed violations of the prohibition law in
Asheville and Buncombe county, rel
ative to the disclosures made by the
records compiled of \%'hiskey ship
ments into the city and county during
the past ten months were of a rather
sarling naure. The records of the
Southern Railway Company for this
period, he said, show that over 90,000
gallons of intoxicants were shipped
into the county. He estima+ed ^iiat
according to these records and figur
ing on an annual basis, over 100,000
gallons of mtoxicants are shipped in
to Asheville and Biltmore annually,
and almost 110,000 gallons into the
county.
Of this total amount, Judge Carter
estimated that 60,000 gallons are dis
posed of by the large dealers with an
approximate profit of $1 a gallon. In
this connection, he said that the men
novv charged with ^violating the law
represent propei’ty in the aggregate
of more than ^1,000,000, besides hav-
! iiig political and social position. He
(.spoke cf the difiknlties of carrying
I on an nvestigation against such de-
isiidan'cs and incidentally congratu-
j lated them that their interests are so
jwell safeguarded,
I Judge Cai'ter stated that the fact
that they are being prosecuted does
not mean that they are guilty, but
in case they are convicted he fears
that even the extensive power of the
governor could not secure for them
fair judgments, as there is not a judge
on the bench of North Carolina who
would have the ..temerity to impose
road sentences. Some of those who
heard these remarks of the court con
strued the reference to “fair judg
ment” as an ironical allusion to the
statement of Governor Craig. Who
ever is responsible for this wholesale
traffic, however, merits a chain gang
sentence as much as the small dealer,
Judge Carter said.
Judge Carter expressed the further
opinion that if a judge could be found
to convict men of such Wealth and
political influence - and impose such
sentences as they deserve, then the
nice people of the community’' would
pray the governor with one accord to
commute such sentences to a pecuni
ary basis. ■ Any pecuniary penalties
that would be imposed in this inves
tigation, he said, would not amount to
10 per cent, of the profits made by
the defendants in this traffic.
As a concrete illustration of the
amount of whiskey that is shipped in-
