A HOTLY CONTESTED GAME AT THE
FAIR GROUNDS YESTERDAY.
The Teams Played a Smooth Game, But
the Crowd Helped to Amuse Itself Oak
Kidse plucky. But Guilford Had Superior
Teaui-rienty of Spice in the Way of
Squabbling: by the Teams and Scraps
Aiuoiiff the Crowd Horse Racing During
the Game Helped Along the Diversion
The Other Games Yesterday.
The game of football between Guil
ford College and Oak Ridge which oc
curred yesterday afternoon on the
rpound of the Central Carloiina Fair
was won by Guilford with a score of
10 to 0. Aside from a manifestation
of the spirit of rivalry that has pre
vented t3ams of these institutions
mseting since 1893, the game was a
very pretty one. Oak Ridge played
manfully and well, but Guilford show
ed its superiority on all occasions.
There was a good deal of squabbling
on points between the two sides, but
while they were playing, the gams went
smoothly and very interestingly. Kirk
patrick, (O. R. ) at center, was a stone
wall, and Brown full back for Oak
Ride, played' brilliant ball, but not
more so than Daniels, of Guilford,
who starred on both defensive and of
fensive work. Morton and Love of
Guilford, also deserve special men
tion. Tne crowd of spectators, which would
undoubtedly have been large but for
the drizzling rain when the game be
gan, numbered perhaps between two
and three hundred. It was a gay old
c.-owd, too, at least a number of indi
viduals in it were loaded well enough
to furnish fun for the remainder, and
in entertaining qualities they divided
honors with the teams. There were
any number of fights of more or less
severity. On man had three. Some
of them were heavy struggling matches,
and as the whole crowd in the vicinity
always rushed in to part them, the
spectators appeared to be carrying on
a pitched battle, with skirmishes,
marches and counter marches. Be
side this, it became impossible to keep
the crow 1 off the field and it kept the
toims hugged tightly as they played
over the field. This added to the con
fusion, and kept the Oak Ridge and
the Guilford sympathizers pretty wall
mixed up, and they didn't fail to talk
warmly to each other. When there
was no squabbling between the friends
of the teams, and the teams themselves,
there were enough drunken men about
to k-ep things lively. It all showed
football at its worst' and the real
friends and lovers of the game always
regret such.
At the end of the game there came
near being a big free fight. Prof. J.
Allen Holt, of Oak Ridge, who, with
1'rol. Wilson, of Guilford, was time
temper, deemed that, both as an offi
cial of the game and as a gentlemen,
he had been insulted during the game,
by Mr. Hill, one of the Guilford play
ers, and as soon as the game was over
called him to apologize. The con
versation which ensued resulted
in Professor Holt striking Mr.
Kill. Immediately there was a
preat hubbub. The Oak Ridge men
rushed up yelling that Prof. Holt had
been hit or insulted and wanted to
avenge it, while Guilford men were
equally anxious to take up for their
side, the crowd surged backward and
forward, fists, umbrellas and canes in
the air. It could not be told which
was whish, who wanted to fight and
who were trying to restore order.
Meanwhile Prof. Holt and Prof. Wil
son who were together, had left the
held. Enough cool heads were in the
crowd to somewhat restrain it, and
Mayor Taylor, wno was among them,
routed for order and accompanied
Mr. Carl Hill, the Guilford man im
plicated, and the special object of the
Ming of the Oak Ridge sympathizers,
off the field.
After leaving the field, Mr. Hill said
to a Telegram reporter that he really
not know why Prof. Holt struck
hJm- Prof. Holt was asked about it
at the McAdoo House and made a full
8-Ueoaent of his side. "I was an offi
of the game," he said, "with
ruf- Wilson of Guilford. During the
' ; ; ; ; ! ,
i -. -. , - 1 : : : ; : ; .
latter half of the game, Mr. Hill, one
of the players, called out loudly to
Prof. Wilson to take me off the field.
I remarked to Prof. Wilson that that
was a public Insult, as 1 was an offi
cial of the game and had a right to be
on the field, and I should demand an
apology when the game was over.
Prof. Wilson said he thought the
young man should, and would, apolo
gize. Some of our boys heard it and
wanted to resent it, but I told them to
let it alone, I would 9peak to Mr. Hill
after the game, but didn't care to have
any of them present. When the game
was over I called Mr. Hill aside and
demanded an apology. He was alow
and hummed and hawed. I saw the
crowd gathering and told him to apol
ogize at once. So did Prof. Wilson.
As he did not, I slapped him with my
left hand. I was still holding the
watch in my right hand. Prof. Wil
son and I immediately le't the field."
It is singular that with the whole
game, and the fights .and threats of
fights, nobody was hurt.

ANOTHER INSURANCE COMPANY.
TO WORK IN CONNECTION WITH THE
HOME COUPANIES.
The Southern Loan and Trust Company
Establish an Insurance Department,
Which Will Take the Place of the Wil
liamsburg City in Carrying Excess Lines.
The stock-holders of the Southern
Loanand Trust Company have decided
toestablish an insurance department, to
transact a generfa fire insurance busi
ness on the old ljSe stock plan.
This action hujjbeen taken because
of the difficulty experienced in getting
another stock ctompany to take the
place of the "VYilliamsburg City of
New York, whicfi had been of great
assistance to the local agents of the
Southern Stock Mutual and Under
writers Insurance Companies of
Greensboro, in carrying their excess
lines and some classes of risks that
the dividend paying companies could
not afford to wrij, the Williamsburg
City having retired from the State on
account of the insurance laws of 1899.
It will be in no sense a competitor of
the other Greensboro companies, as it
will pay no dividend to policy holders,
but is intended to strengthen their
agencies, many of whom have found it
impossible to get any company to take
the place of the one lost.
This is no new field for banking in
stitutions. One of the rtost successful
banks in Virginia has been doing an
insurance business and has found it
very profitable, its as3etts being now
$1,750,000.
There is no wiy in which the people
of North Carolina can enhance the
financial interests of the State more
than by patronizing good home insur
ance companies. The Southern Stock
Mutual and Underwriters of Greens
boro have saved f the people of the
State in a few 3 ears about $125,000
directly, besides by their competition
causing the Southeastern Tariff Asso
ciation to so reduce rates as to cause
an annual saving of $100,000 in pre
miums. As the assets of fhe Southern Loan
and Trust Company exceed those of
any other North Carolina insurance
compauy, it will no doubt receive a
liberal potronage, not only from the
people of Greensboro, but other com
munities of the State, and lessen ma
terially the amount of money that goes
North and to Europe.
The insu ance department will be en
tirely separate from the banking and
trust departments, and will be under
the management of the vice-president,
Mr. A. W. McAlister, who is acknowl
edgek to be one of the best insurance
men of the State.

in the streets. As soon as the doors
were opened there was a mad rush for
seats and in a few minutes every seat
was taken. College spirit ran high,
each college giving its college yells
until its debate began.
The debate was opened with an ex
planation of the contest by Mr. Jo
sephus Daniel?, editor of the News &

the South Carolina dispensary law is.
unwise," was read by the secretary
and then the sides of the respective

the affirmative and Wake Forest the
negative.

Giles, as a representative of Trinity.
Mr. S. G. Flournoy followed in behalf
of Wake Forest. The affirmative was
continued by Mr. W. H. Wanamaker.
W. A. Dunn followed in support of
the negative. The last gentleman on
the affirmative was Mr. F. S. Caden.
Mr. H. E. Flack spoke as the. last gen
tleman on the negative.
According to agreement of the terms
of the debate each debater was allow
ed a five minutes' reioinder. Each
debater replied in a Short, forcible re
joinder. The judges then retired and in a
short time returned with a verdict that
in point of oratory Wake Forest ex
celled, but in argument Trinity was
superior. Therefore, by the rules of
the debate, the cup was won by Trinity.
