The registration books closed yester at rundown and only those whose ujjnes are recorded in their respective precinct will be permitted to participate in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. i The registration yesterday was quite leavv. a large number of people waiting until the last day as is usually the case. In the city the Stedman Club members Tere quite active and through their ef fort? a large number were prevailed spon to register and thus qualify them-afre-: to vote Tuesday week. From reports received from all parts of the county it appears that nearly three times as many Democrats as Re publicans registered, this being due in a lanre measure to the efforts of the Democratic organization in calling on tfcp voters in all parts of the county and seeing that they registered. Chairman Shen-ill was seen yesteTday afternoon and he was in fine spirits over the outlook. He estimated that the Democratic majority this year in the Muntv would be at least 1,700. The Rc- puhlican vote is not goings to be as heavy as usual, he savs, and the Democrats are coins to make considerable gains. ,A number of Republicans have stated that they, did trintela because of the evident dominating power of Marion Butler behind the State chair man. Other Democrats in the city who have heen keeping close tab on the political conditions in the county are equally as anguine as Chairman Sherrill. It is thought that Maj. Stedman, nominee for Congress, will lead the county ticket Tith the State Senator a close second. For the past few days all efforts have been to have all Democrats register &. Now that the registration books are closed the importance of going to the polls will be pressed upon the voters by the Democratic speakers.

Woman's Club Apply a Match and Solye Problem. Dr. Battle in his talk before the civic department of the Woman's Club, re cently, emphasized the importance of burning leaves and broken twigs old papers and rubbish of every kind in which, germs might find lodgment and where they might deposit eggs that would hatch in the spring under the quickening rays of the warm sunshine. And the ladies, when they urged the citizens to clean up, promising that the city wagons would remove all trash col lected, did not know and did not intend that the objectionable, germ-laden, non descript conglomerate mass should be taken merely beyond the confines of the city only to offend the eyes and nostrils of our country friends and people who travel the public highway. The question has been asked before in this column and we want to ask again: Where is Greensboro's dumping ground? People driving over the county roads bring damaging reports of conditions just outside the corporate limits, where, it is said, the contents of the trash wag ons have been emptied indiscriminately along the road side and in fields which are so disfigured thereby as to be posi tively unsightly. Now the civic depart ment understands that Greensboro has no money and cannot afford an inciner ating plant, but it can afford a box of matches, and there is no reason under the sun why the rubbish collected in the city cannot all be taken to some large open field, set apart for that purpose and far enough removed from buildings and fences to avoid any risk, and reduc ed to ashes, instead of being left to the mercy of the winds to be blown about all winter and become more, and more a upon the landscape. The department suggests matches as a solution of the dumping ground problem for the present. at least. When Greensboro grows to be a big city, in the gradual evolution of matters municipal. the incinerating plant will come as a necessity. In the meantime let the rubbish be burned in an open field, to which, under proper precautions and intellierent direction there can be no possible objection. The question "of clean grocery stores and sanitary meat markets is one which is being agitated by members of the Woman's Club and especially by those of the civic department. The time has come when good housekeepers demand pure food and will not countenance the slovenly methods indulged in by the old style country merchant, who sold "dry goods and groceries" and never disturb ed the cobwebs on his shelves or the boxes under his counter. In tueye en lightened, scientific days of practical knowledge and practical living, the deal er who keeps a clean place is the one who gets the best patronage from the best class of customers. Owing to the fact that bad weather and conflicting entertainments have caused the postponement of the lawn party arranged for the Junior Civic League several weeks ago, it is now de cided to abandon it for the present, sub stituting something a little later on more suitable for the season. The juniors are urged to keep up their good work and wait for the committees. They can all keep busy the next two months clearing away the leaves and planting bulbs for cultivation in the early spring. Everybody agreed that Greensboro look ed better the past summer than ever before. Let next summer mark still another step forward. Hallowe'en Entertainment.

Hard Fought Football Game on Local Gridiron Yesterday Afternoon Visi tors Did Fine Individual Work, But Team Work Was Lacking Coffin Kicks Nine Goals Out of As Many Chances The Officials. Cone Park was the scene of a hard and onesided struggle yesterday after noon when the football team represent ing the Greensboro High School defeat- 4 ed the eleven of the Reidsville High School by the score of 54 to 6. The game, however, was a farce by no means, as it was hard-fought from beginning to end. The losers played a good game indi vidually, but the interference of the local backs was too strong for any de fense except that of united teamwork. The team showed plainly its need of a coach, for they have much good, though raw .material that could be developed into a fast eleven. Long end runs prov ed to be the best ground gainers for the locals, as their splendid interference re peatedly carried the runner for long gains. The visitors used the forward paRS frequently, rarely executing it suc cessfully but in a scramble luck usually favored them and the bafi was recaptur ed on the majority of the attempts. Greensboro scored the first touch down in four minutes of play as the local backs, circling the ends for long. runs, carried the ball within striking distance of the goal and enabled Marys to carry it across by a line plunge. Cot- ftn iirfced the f?bal. The next touchdown was made in three minutes. A long. beautifully executed forward pass,' Cof fin to Harry, netted a gain of forty yards and carried the ball to Reidsville's three yard line. Yates carried the ball over and Coffin kicked goal. The third touchdown of the quarter was scored by Murray's run to Reidsville's ten yard line and Grimsley's plunge for a score. Goal was kicked. Tn the entire quarter the Reidsville boys only held the ball for a few minutes. Greensboro clearly de monstrating her superiority by almost wiping the visitors off their feet. Score 18-0. After a three minute rest between the quarters, the Reidsville team came back strong and exhibited greater strength than any shown against Greensboro here this season. They took the ball on downs on Greensboro's thirty-five yard line and immediately worked a forward pass which carried them to the eight yard line. The next play sent Hubbard through the line for a touchdown. Hub bard also kicked goal. Greensboro was somewhat stirred up by this score and, following his own advice to "carry her on through, boys," Capt. Coffin received the kick-off and, aided by splendid inter ference, ran the length of the field for a touchdown. He succeeded in kicking goal. The score at the end of the quar ter sstood Greensboro 24, Reidsville 6. In the first part of the third quarter Grimsley captured a Reidsville forward pass and ran forty yards for the f if t The visiting boys thought the play was dead and made no effort to block Grims ley but, as they were proved to be in the wrong the score counted. Next, Marrs, after the ball had been taken from Reidsville on downs, delivered splendid interference, ran forty yards and carried the ball to the five yard line. The next play sent Coffin over for the sixth touchdown, and later, the sixth goal. Soon following came Harry's cap ture of Reidsville's forward pass on Reidsville's fifteen yard line. A couple of plays sent put Yates across and Cof fin kicked goal. Score, Greensboro 42, Reidsville 6. Reidsville's first play in the fourth quarter was a forward pass .which Cof fin captured and the result was the eighth touchdown and goal. The last touchdown was made by Grimsley, after Greensboro had recovered a kick and Dixon had fallen on a forward pass. Coffin completed an excellent record of nine goals out of nine chances and the score stood Greensboro 54, Reidsville 6. Although the score against them was large Reidsville showed unexpected strength by Scoring on the locals, a per formance which is very rare .in ihese seasons of championship teams turned out by the Greensboro High SchooL The Greensboro boys were twice called, back from touchdowns on account of illegal plays, which, if counted, would have run the score larger. The best playing of the game was done by Coffin, Mur ray and Grimsley of Greensboro, and Hubbard and Thompson for Reidsville. . The officials of the game were: Coffin, referee; Groome, umpire; Mr. Muir, head-linesman; and Harry and Walker, timekeepers. The quarters were ten minutes each.

When Fete in Flowerland was given in Richmond, the Times-Dispatch said: Society sat in the boxes at the "Fete in Floweriand" given at the Academy last night and was delightfully enter tained, the curtain rising on tableau af ter tableau of unusual beauty in group ing and artistic arrangement. The lit tle fairies waved the flowers on the scene with their beckoning wands. One of the prettiest acts of the evening was a fancy dance in which they were verit able fairies indeed by their lightness and grace. All the little people were excellent in their choruses and motion songs as Snowdrops, Rosebuds, Forget-me-nots, Buttercups, Daisies, Lilies, Sweetpeas, etc. "Consider the Lilies" was especial ly fine and the solo parts worthy of special and most complimentary men tion. "The season's debutantes were seen in a pantomime, composed by Miss Moor man, illustrative of Nevin's "Rosary." This was a star act, the buds gowned in Greek Costumes, their hair banded with fillets, their grouping and swaying mo tions presenting an enchanting picture. They also appeared in "Revel of Hearts," which was roundly applauded. Debu tantes of last year in a "Revel of Smi lax" held the attention of the audience in a delightful way. Then the two groups returned to the stage and mingl ed in several figures, each gained by as sociation and color contrast. The specialties were excellent and the comedy which closed the performance kept the audience laughing from start to finish. Each actor was so suited to his respective role that all were stars.

The Hook & Ladder wagon is under going repairs and Assistant Superintend ent Cox and Mr. E. E. Bain, of the Firo Commission', designed and manufactured an improved temporary outfit to be used until the regular wagon is ready for use. With the exception of the wheels and: running gear the apparatus is the r.ea.1 "Greensboro Make" and in case of a flr$ the wagon would no doubt make a hit, to use the parlance of the shows. With the exception of the raining ladder, or derrick, the new wagon ear ' ries all the ladders the regular wagon carried. The driver has a high seat anf a foot rest. There is no gong, but one will likely be added later. The wagon was tested out yesterday. The drive sent his horses along the street at ax lively gait, but it was found that a sharp turn could not be made as could be done with the regular wagon. Mayor Stafford viewed the Greensboro invention and at once arrived at the eon elusion that the outfit would make a capital police patrol, with the additiojt of two benches for the prisoners. H talked like the city might purchase the wagon and turn it over to the police as soon as the regular fire wagon is re- paired. At any rate he said that -the, outfit would be a great improvement over the present patrol, which has often upset the officers when they were gotn after an offender. Let Off With Costs. In Municipal Court yesterday the principal case was that against Haz4t Headen, the negro lad charged with as saulting Percolie Wellob with a briclu Judgment was suspended on payment of the costs, including the physician's bilU Myrtle King was taxed with the coet4 for failing to appear in court as a wit ness.
