The Xe-vj yesterday contained such r coai;Iete story of the game that it tyouM st-vin useless to add to what has alreaily been published in this paper. Xt-ver in the history of football in the South has such an enthusiastic and well behaved crowd gathered to wit ness a struggle of tins kind. And the test of ail is that North Carolina was thoroughly at home, though she was playing on the soil of the Old Do minion. As one looked around at that vast as semblage yesterday, the thought crowded itself upon you that everyone should feel proud that he was a North Carolinian or a Virginian. The wrhite and blue were entwined gracefully and beautifully with the orange and blue, h was a great contest for the athletic supremacy of the South a contest that was not embittered by a single misplay or mishap. Everything was done good naturedly and the sting of defeat was swallowed up in the fact that Caro linians bore their victory with becom- ing modesty. It was a great game played under the bluest skies and there was just enough winter in the air to make one a thorough football enthusiast. When the elevens of Carolina and Virginia marched from their respective waiting rooms there was a deafning roar from the throats of more than 15, 000 who had gathered to see the great contest. As the stalwart young "men made their appearance on the field there was again another deafning shout from the thousands that waved the white p.nd blue and orange and blue. These outbursts of enthusiasm con tinued throughout the game. As to the game, there was never a time that Virginia had the slightest opportunity to win over North Caro lina. From the first moment the first kick-off was made there was every pos sible evidence to make one sure that the Carolina boys had the game up their sleeves. Never before did our boys play with such snap and ginger or show to a better advantage. They were trained right up to the notch and all of the eleven showed that they were athletes beyond question. Throughout the entire time the game was on the deafning roar from the as sembled multitude was music to the tars of Carolinians and none enjoyed this more than the Charlotte people present. The score 17 to 0 tells within itself the story. From start to finish North Carolina went through the Virginia line like a battering ram and do what they might there was nothing could be rut up that would stop this onslaught. Aoernathy. Whitaker. Storv and Snipes. These were North Carolina's stars and it is useless to add that they are stars of the first magnitude. They Played the game of their lives and there never was an instant but what they had their eyes on the ball. Virginia put up a plucky defense. Johnston was certainly the star of the entire Virginia aggregation. Several times he went down before the heavy e.even of Carolina but just as many times he came tip with a smiling face and worked just as much harder to land the victorv. The game was plaved in 30 minute calves. "hen the Charlotte party arrived in -Norfolk yepterdav morning, it was neard on all sides that the betting on pe Same was in favor of Virginia. -ven up tu the time the game was called the ramblers played Virginia for a dinner but there was lots of North Urolma money there. The green and ae Silt came from ever section of tnn- Sti'rf? arm as fast as the oppor wmty presented itself Carolina money it tip on her favorite team. No one fo, v"e.'!- that was to be shut out nf ti! !1KHUa- Even the most sanguine w the North Carolina rooters did not pate a shut-out.

But with these odds against us, Carolina made a touchdown and the pig skin flaunted over the goal post like an eagle and Carolina added six points to her well earned victory in the first half. It is useless to add that the repre sentatives of the old North State in Norfolk yesterday, were handsomely treated. The citizens of Norfolk opened their doors and their hearts and the day one of the biggest in the historv of the place was a success from every view point. It was a day long to be remembered both by North Carolina and Virginia. BOARD OF HEALTH RESIGN. Instructions From Governor Caused Action. By Associated Press. Chicago, Dec. 1.

It is understood that the road will ue a connecting link for the road now operating Johnson City to Spruce Pines and now building from Spruce Pines to Marion. The purpose being an ex tension through the State into South Carolina. Among the incorporators are George L. Carter, J. Crawford Biggs, and others. The first Sheriff of the State to settle the State taxes for 1905, is Sheriff Ellington, of Johnston county. He is here today for that purpose. He has been first for several years past. Deputy Sheriff J. P. Nunn of Lenoir, county, brought a white man, Pink Hill to the State Hospital suffering from a religious hallucination and in a most pitiable demented condition. Deputy Sheriff -ohn Howard was here today from Durham county to get juuu jmiy, a wmttj 111a.11, vvuu 10 wanted there to finish out an unexpir ed sentence on the county road for larceny. It seems that he has become demented and will now be committed to tho county home.

This is on account of the serious illness of Mrs. Purnell, who is under treatment in St. Luke's Hospital, Richmond.

MRJ'DWATK NAMED PRESIDENT At a Meeting ot Charlotte Town ship Club, Mecklenburg Divi sion of Cotton Growers, an Or ganization was Perfected and Many Matters Taken Up. The farmers and business men of Charlotte and Charlotte township met today at 11 o'clock in the County Court House and perfected an organi zation, electeing officers, enrolled members and considered many ques tions of interest. It is probable that Governor Glenn will be secured to address the farmers of the county at their regular meeting on January 6. This will, however, he discussed more fully tomorrow morning at the December meeting of the County Cotton Growers' Association. The meeting today was called to con sider a plan for financing the associa tion as outlined by Mr. C. C. Moore, who has been devoting much time to the work in Mecklenburg as county organizer. After the first meeting a second was held in the same room, when the Char lotte township branch of the associa tion in the county was fully or ganized. In opening the meeting today Mr. C. C. Moore said: "When cotton went to 6 cents letters of a doleful kind were sent out asking what would become of the South if its chief product went any lower, the profit already having been destroyed by the decrease in price. Then came the agitation that we all remember, followed by the meeting of last February, and finally we procured a reduction of acreage and we got 10 cent cotton again." "Next the speculation pi-oposition was taken up and the association sent a man to Washington to investigate. Although he was told by the Secre tary of Agriculture that he had better go home and plow cotton, neverthe less, it was net long until that fellow Holmes was in Europe, and if the as sociation has done nothing more for the South it has broken up this specu lation rascality. "Following this came the meeting at j Asheville, and with 17,000 correspon dents it is new possible to estimate the crop closely at any lament." Mr. Moore told of a visit to the cot ton platform on November 4, when he found that over 9,000 bales had been weighed, which meant that over $50, 000 had slipped out of the county just because of the fact that the farmers had not insisted on 11 cent cotton. He j said: "There is at present another prop osition before the association to re tire 3,000,000 bales of cotton for 90 days. Then came Mr. Price, who told of pools, etc., that were working in Wall Street, but the association was in a position where it could handle matters for himself. "I have been almost clowning it over the county," said Mr. Moore. Here Mr. Moore produced a cotton cloth and carefully unwrapping it, a $20 gold piece fell to the table. "This little illustration," said the speaker, "holds the attention of the farmers and strik ingly shows what the farmer can do by holding his cotton and wringing gold from it." " At this junction Mr. Moore unwound the cotton cloth and showed the $20 gold piece, representing the advance per bale in cotton. Mr. Moore said that he had found no diflaculty in securing pledges from farmers in outlying townships to hold their cotton. The farmers are now so organized that they are ready to stand together on whatever is proposed. 'Squire C. H. Wolfe then made a short talk, stating the object of the meeting to outline a method for financing the organization in this sec tion. 'Squire Wolfe thought all classes of farmers would have to unite to se cure the object now in view. "We do not," said the speaker, "want any body to feel that they are 'butting in' when they join us, for it is not a farmer's association, but is for all who are interested directly, or indirectly, ginners, teachers, oil mill men and others. CaDt. S. B. Alexander followed with a pointed talk on the necessity and UeUtiULS Ul gtJLLmg gUUU jjiaco iui v,vy. ton and then keeping the money at home. The cotton association, he said, has been a wonderful factor in bringing in money to the city and sec tion. "Charlotte township has not been properly organized," said Captain Alexander, "and I hope we can get the organization at once." Capt. A. G. Brenizer, of the Com mercial National Bank, was requested to address the meeting. He express ed his deep interest in the question and gaid that the city and businesi men were ready to co-operate. In reply to a query from 'Squire Wolfe, Captain Brenizer said that he thought the business men and banks 'would be glad to procure an honorary membership or right of debate at tne meetings, such members paying, say a $5 fee, according to 'Squire Wolfe's suggestion.. Mr. Moore said that it cost $6.80 for each and every repor made by the association on cotton. He , heavy expenses of the association, Capt. S. B. Alexander then moved that a township meeting be held for electing representatives for the coun ty meeting tomorrow. Chairman D. A. rnMMiiNirniny im uummuiuuniiuil 111 RUSSIA IS NOW AN IMSliLITY All Communication With the In terior is Now an Utter Impossi bility. Emissaries are Sent to Finland to Beg Comrades to Join in Strike. Now Appears That all Communica tion Through Press and Gov ernment Messages May be Cut Off. Partial Suffrage Causes Slight Amelioration ot Situation, By Associated Press. St. Petersburg Dec. 1. The crisis continues. The telegraph tie-up throughout Russia is practically com plete and the government does not know what is happening in the interi or. Emmisaries of the strikers have been sent to Finland to induce their comrades to :'oin in the strike. This would "cut off the cable com munication which remains open for the present and government messages, although the central office here is nom inally closed. Much as the government would like to resist it is powerless. None of the Sebastopol mutineers will be executed. Late this afternoon the outlook for temporary improvements in the situ ation was brighter. The danger of an immediate strike is considered to be practically averted as a result of the negotiations by which the government and private establishments which are now closed shall be reopened. The law governing the elections to the National . Assembly is practically granted but suffrage will virtually be universal in the second degree. Mail Matter Stopped. St. Petersburg. Dec. 1. The deliverv of all mail matter was stopped in St. Petersburg this morning. Johnston then' -formally called the meeting to order. The following members were en rolled: C. H. Wolfe, McD. Watkins, J.

The election for a township presi dent for 1906 was entered into and Mr. McD. Watkins was nominated and chosen by acclamation. For vice president Capt. S. B. Alex ander was elected. W. P. Moore was elected secretary and treasurer. Delegates were then elected to the county convention, and all county meetings for 12 months. Those named are: McD. Watkins and D. A. John ston. The meeting considered the social feature of the county association, but left that matter in statu quo for the present. 'Squire C. H. Wolfe wanted to know about a matter that came up at the October meeting of a rather delicate nature. The meeting today was in favor of dropping the matter entirely. It was further asked what instructions should be given the two delegates to the meeting tomorrow about this same matter, and it was stated that the mat ter had been harmonized and could only come up as unfinished business.

Three dwelling houses belonging to Mrs. Amanda Sowers, opposite the Central, were also almost completely destroyed. There was no insurance on these.

Weaver, did excellent work, getting three streams of water on the fire. It is not known how the fire originated. The plant will probably be replaced. DIED AST NIGHT Young Man Who was Pardoned by Governor Heyward of South Carolina, Died at 1 O'clock this Morning at the Presbyterian Hospital. ' At the Presbyterian Hospital this morning at 1 o'clock, Mr. Leonard Hickney, died after an illness of sev eral days. Hickney was taken to the hospital from the city tombs last Mon day and had been desperately ill ever since. The young man came to Char lotte from South Carolina about a week ago. Monday night he drifted into the police station and asked for lodging. He was then an ill man and the officer in 'charge made him a comfortable bed and told him he might remain until the next day. The following afternoon his condition grew worse and he was taken in the ambulance to the Presbyterian Hospital where he died at the hour named above. Back of this sad death there is a story that borders on the tragic. Hick ney was convicted in a South Carolina court for breaking in a house. He was sentenced to a, term ot hve years in , the State penitentiary at Columbia and ; after serving about two yeras of his time he was pardoned by Governor Heyward. His pardon was exhibited to the police when he walked in the sta tion last Monday. He did not deny his identity nor did he try to hide that he was an ex-convict. He simply stated that he had been falsel yconvicted and that while an inmate of the peniten tiary, his health failed him. On securing his discharge, the peni tentiary authorities gave him $10 and he started North to his home in Phila delphia. He got as far as Charlotte and was not able to continue his trip. At the hospital he was tenderly cared for and received every attention. De spite this he gradually grew worse un til the end came this morning. Yes terday the hospital authorities tele graphed his mother, Mrs. Annie Hick ney of his desperate condition. She pired back to have a Priest see her son and administer to him. This was done. This morning the authorities tele graphed her that her son died during the night and asked what disposition she wished to be made of the body. Up to this afternoon no reply had been received to this telegram. TWO MEN KILLED L Over a Dozen Others are Injured in Wreck of Philadelphia Ex press on Central R. R. of N.

YOUNG I EY 1 PRICfc: 3 CENTS M'KELIT SUIT WILL NOT COME UP BEFORjJ SPRING Judge Webb T0-day Declined fo Set a Day for the Trial of this Cause During the Session of the January Term. Request Made by Messrs Bell & Duls- A Motion Made by Counsel of Ob server Company to Amend theiJ Answer Filed Some Time Ago Was Granted by the Court. Other Cases Heard. In the Superior Court this morninz. Messrs. James A. Bell and C. H. Duls, counsel for Dr. A. J. McKelway, made a motion that the case of Dr. McKel way against the Observer Company be set for trial at the January term of the civil court. This motion was resisted by Judge Armistead Burwell and Mr. W. C. ''Max well, counsel for the Observer Com pany. Judge Webb declined to acceed to the motion made by Messrs. Bell and Duls and this interesting case will now have to take its chances on the calen dar. At the November term this case was postponed out of defference to the wish es of Judge F. I. Osborne, of counsel for Observer Company, who was una voidably detained in New York. Coun sel for Dr. McKelway were anxious that the case be heard but declined to press the matter on account of the ab sence of Judge Osborne. It' was contended this morning by counsel for Dr. McKelway that owing to the large number of out-of-town witnesses, a special day should be set for the trial of this cause. The case came up before the court this morning because of a request made by the counsel of the Observer Company that the defendant company be allowed to amend the answer, as filed. . This motion to amend was grant ed by Judge Webb. From present indications it would seem that the trial of this very interest ing case will not come up before the spring term of court which is next March. - In the case of R. H. Jordan and Company against J. Watt Kirkpatrick, the defendants were given a verdict Of $29.18. . In the case of Eric Brown, admin istrator of Clifton. W.

Wilson was taken up and was being heard when The News went to press. KILLED IN A PISTOL DUEL. Holding His Child in His Arms, Con nor Shoots a Neighbor. Altoona, Pa., Dec. 1.
