' In Black and . White" . and discussing
the negro question, saying inferiority
in Southern farming is due the pre

there must be an effort to raise the
. ability of that race.
Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt. North Caro

here tonight as he rode through crowd
ed and brilliantly illumninated streets
leading from the train to the home of
Major Jos ph B. , Cumming, whose
house guest , he is, was in the nature
of a home-coming celebration. Mr.
Taft ha3 stated several times that he

example, of South Carolina hospitality
and thought the city ought to bear the
expense of all invited guests.
-. In his speech at the State capitol
President Taft said:
"My friends -1 am not inspired to

much more than I can say. There is
something about South Carolina and

(Special Star Telegram.) k
Chapel Hill, N. C, Nov. 6. In a t'
bard fought battle today in Richmond,
Va., Carolina had her goal line cross-'
ed for the first time this year and
went down In defeat before the strong
V. P. I. team by the score of 15 to 0. '
Although the score would not Indl- '
cate it, Carolina played aa . equally
good defensive game as V. P. I, and
a slightly, better offensive game, har
ing gained about 50 more yards than
her opponents. The punting of
Hodgeson, of V. P. I., who averaged
over 45 yards, won the game for. the ,
Blacksburg boys. The . game started
with a slight advantage for Carolina,;. "
the ball being for a short while in V.
P. I.'s territory As soon as punts ?
were exchanged V. P. I. started ;t .
gain, making about 15 yards on every r
exchange. , Carolina made several -good
gains but her , gains, were not
steady and were frequently offset by '
penalizations.. .. After 15 minutes' "of
play the ball was forced back to, Car
olina's 10-yard line and there Belden's "
punt was blocked, V. P.. L . receiving
the .ball and .making the .first touch- ',
down of the game. ' Hodgeson kicked
the'goaL .The-rest of. the half, the - '
ball was ' kept In the middle -of the "
field. ' -1 v. . ' , '
The second half was opened tor Car-:
olina kicking to V. P. I. who returned
the kick and recovered' the ' bairvon'T
Carolina's 20-yard line,- Hodgson mak
ing a marvelous kick of 60 yards. A ,
penalization of five yards, another of
7 1-2 yards and a line plunge of 7 1-2
through center netted another touch
down and Hodgeson again kicked goal.
There was no more scoring until late
in the second half when exchanges of
punts again brought the ball Into Car
olina's territory and Hodgeson kick
ed a goal from the field from the 80-
yard line. After this Carolina by
brilliant playing against odds came
twice into striking distance of V. P.
I's. goal but each time lost the ball,
and Hodgeson kicked but of danger.
The score was not a total surprise as ' "
it Is generally granted that V. P. I. f
has the strongest team in the South
this year,. and also one of the greatest
punters' in Hodgeson t that , has ever
played on a Southern' football team.
He really won the game for V. P. I.
and without him it is quite probable .
that V. P. I. would have nef er defeat-'
ed Carolina. Porter at full and Bel-
den played a good game for Carolina.
