Virginia's flaunting orange- and blue, fresh from the field of many victories, were trailed in the dust today by the hardy sons of the Old North State. At the close of a snappy same, play- eel in ireezmg neamai jx. -itui, score stood 16 to 0 in favor of North j Carolina. It was a surprise to all, ana to none more perhaps than to the-victorious team itself. Whatever hope of success it might have entertained, j the reputation of V irginia mis ye crowded back any dreams oi suai u, victory as this. But it came, never- theless and the town is in the nanus of a whooping .howling lot :of Tar Heels. About four ousand-peo- ole made up a brilliant gathering that witnTsed the struggle on the gridiron. .' - i There was a good deal or netting' ana j an unusually large sum of .Virginia's money passed into other hands. " The game itlf was a spectaculai one that provoked any amount of en thusiasm. Virginia lost by simply in ferior playing. North Carolina put up a great -gWme. Virginia's ends were weak. North Carolina's remarkable strong backs did the work, smothering the ball through in fine style. Virginia fumbled from start to finish, and after the first half was not in it. "Severar i men were knocked out, notably Council and Heald, and two or three of tn substitutes had .to be run in. The wildest scenes of joy and enthu siasm were to be witnessed tonight at Murphy's Hotel, where the two teams have their headquarters The North Carolina players were carried around the lobby on the shoulders of friends, speeches were made and every one was shouting and singing "Carolina" at the. same time. As far as possible similaif scenes were enacted in the HI- jou theatre tonight, where both teams occupied boxes. The old Bijou Comedy Company, Xavorites in Richmond, were on the boards, presenting "The night of the fourth,' and every ten minutes, almost, the Carolina xr Virginia yell would be given in which the entire audience" joined as far as possible. The people of Richmond are really delighted at the result of the game, although, as already stated, hundreds of them . lost money, some a great Two Swanson of Virginia Natu rally Objects, to the Com : mittee Assignment of Klutti General Cor-, bin Has a Big Mil itary Scheme . By THOMAS J. PRNCK Washington, Nov. 26 Special. The appointment of Mr. Kluttz as a mem ber of the committee, on post offices and post, roads is calculated to disturb the equilibrium of several members of the House and it may result in a pro tect to Speaker Cannon, but such a movement stands little chance of suc- -e?s. Mr. Kluttz succeeds Mr. Claude Svanson of Virginia, the ranking Ji-ember.on the post office committee. Mr. Swanson does not make way vol untarily for Mr. Kuttz, and when he h- ars the news he will probably make a vigorous ; protest, f ' . Mr. Swanson's removal resulted from the fact that he . was the only Demo crat in the House holding two big committee assignments. Leader Will iams, told him some time ago that he r-ht'to resign from either the ways nnd means or the ,post office, commit tr, pointing out that there were other . ambers who had,' served. ; almost, as ;rn as hehad and . who did not have r: fa so much as one important com mittee assignment: The' suggestion of 'r.' Williams had no effect upon Mr. : anson, who refused to relinquish ?Iiher one of, his assignments Then :'- v.as, so the story goes, that Mr. W illiams decided to take j the bit : by teeth. Of course Mr. Swanson will rt be satisfied, because he . was the ranking Democrat on the committee fl in line for the chairmanship. An rther ground for kicking is that it is s rather unusual- thing to remove a Person from a committee. Mr. Swanson's Democratic colleagues fiave been saying for some time that he should give up' one of his commit--(' assignmentp in justice to the' other members. Mr. ICluttz had almost given Jo hope of landing on the postal com W Win a to eat icttoiy Over ifEiMa Tonight every few minutes one can hear shouting in the streets, and a look-out of the window is not neces sary to'' understand that happy North Carolinians are the authors of it. They simply can not repress them selves, and no one is trying to make them do ;t. The Carolina team will not return to Chapel HiU until early morning- to morrow, but the special train bearing rooters from the Carolina capital will return tonight. The visitors have be haved themselves admirably- and not one has gotten into trouble so far as. yet learned. . Hw tSf Gjme Uas flayed f The Carolinians scored once in the first half, but failed at try 'for goal, leaving their score 5 to 0. In' the sec- on half the Chanel Hill men scored twiceand Mann kicked jroal. but failed at the last attempt. The story of Virginia's defeat may be briefly told in the one word fumble Jt was, to their inability to hold the ball that the .first touchdown was directly due. The ball was not carried Virginia line; it 'rolled over it - after .-Watkiris had. several times vaJn - hold - - T Will WOll In nnvr ir n I'n-rmTno nlavon . ".'.1 Donnelly by name, fell on the spheroid and a score had been made, almost be fore anybody could,, realize it. During the rest of the half Carolina was on the aggressive practically all the time, but finally Virginia braced and forced Ja cocks' to punt. Every time Virginia got the ball ahdstarted carrying it down the field" by what is commonly known as straight foot ball, up would come the inevitable fumble or a penalty for offside play or allowing the quarter back to run with the ball; - and the gains by line bucking were more than neutralized by the distance penalties imposed. ' Carolina was not perfect in handling the ball, but was more fortunate in re covering it. After one fumb.a Caro lina player fell on the ball in the centre of the field," practically without loss of distance. A little later Virginia block ed a Carolina punt, but the ball fell in the bunch between the opposing lines," and a Carolina player fell on it again; with little or no loss of dis tance. "TVatklns, for Virginia, had just punted to the centre of the field-when the referee's .whistle announced the end of the half. . . Carolina suffered two heavy penalties' during the 'first half. Carolina in the first half had rushed the ball to the Virginia 20-yard line when Jacocks dropped back and kicked a beautiful (Continued on second page.) mittee' and was seeking for appoint ment on the foreign relations commit tee. ' Leader William, however, had him in mind for promotion. He told a gentleman a few daj'S ago that in looking over the- list of older Demo crats in the House he was surprised to find that Mr. Kluttzs wasnot on' any important committee. Then it was that he decided to give him Swanson's position. The only other vacancy on the eominittee had.i been filled by the selection of Burleson of Texas. It is intima-ted .that Mr. Williams had an understanding with Speaker Cannon before he removed Mr. Swanson that if any fight .is made because of the change he will stand by the minority leader. j ' ' It was learned today that Gooeh of Kentucky Tgets the other vacancy on the District of Columbia committee. Representative E. W. Pou having been given the first. As stated yesterday Mr. Small's fail ure to land, on the river and hai-bor committee was the result of his elimi nation by Speaker Cannon because of geographical reasons.. Mr. Jno. Westley Gaines of Tennesse who was recom mended for appointment instead ot the North Carolinian, has learned ot the intention of the majority to rub him off the slate. He will kick, but then he is helpless, A Democrat re marked today that the Republican par ty had arranged to keep, Gaines In congress for life.

When Garnett began to threaten Mrs. Coit MeClung stepped between them and attempted to pei-suade Garnett to leave the room": This maddened Garnett and he pulled a pistol and fired, the bullet going through the major's breast just below the heart. Garnett was partially sober ed by what he had clone, andafter sum moning a doctor he fled. McClung was taken to the hospital. Mrs. Coit is one of the best nown California women.

It is a matter of com- ;ment that such a large number of the members of conference are paying al most undivided attention to the busi- jness iransaciea . in tnje open, puDiic 'sessions of the -conference. Not that ! any have heretofore been careless about this part of the work, but there Is such a strong desire for social intercourse at these annual gatherings that It Is was out of order until after the roll has been called, that thie motion should have been made yesterday. The bish- ;op explained that he was attempting to follow a custom thart has' heretofore prevailed. Bishop Candler said: "You are trying to make void the laws of your traditions," and the conference laughed. . Bishop Candler possesses a wonder ful factulty for keeping everybody In a happy . frame of mind and at the same time rapidly dispatch business. The roll , was called and a number of the absentees reported yesterday were found to be present. The journal of yesterday was - read by Secretary Cuninggim, corrected and approved. Tr.

Dr. Moore said he had not heard from Mr. Gattis, and would an nounce, as.has)een done the last four years, that there is nothing jagainst him except difficulties growing out of a lawsuit, and pending its settlement vould ask that his chfaracter pass for the present.

A few minutes later Dr. Atkins said he thought the Injection of re marks had changed the mindsof some of the brethren on the matter. Dr. Gibbs rose to a question of personal privilege and stated that he did not intend to argue the matter, but if Dr. Atkins meant his remarks, as a chal lenge it would be accepted. Dr. AtKins disclaimed any such intent. Dr. Ivilgo said he hoped" the brethren would not misunderstand each other.

The confer ence is weighted down with obligations now. Dr. Xilgo's words were listened to attentively and when he had finish ed Dr. Atkins said he didn't think there was any danger of a misunderstanding. A few more $10 '" subscriptions were made, Running the total amount up to $500. 1 On motion of Rev. A. P. Tyer the name of Rev. Jno. C. Kilgo was added to the board of education. Announcements for committee meet ings 'were made. The church was r rapidly filling with people as the hour for preaching arrived. It was special order for Bishop Candler to preach a Thanksgiving sermon and the peorle of' Goldsboro were eager to hear him. The aisles were packed and standing people lined the walls along the elde aisles and in the rear of the pews. 4 Hundreds were turned away for want of room. ThBktglvIaff Kxirclitt Bishop Candler announced and led in singing an old hymn to an o!d tune. He followed the hymn with a fervent, -touching prayer and read a scripture lesson, from the eighth chapter of Deuteronomy. A New Testament lesson from the twenty-third chapter of Mat- thew was read. Another hymn was., sung and Bishop Candler announced his text: 147th Psalm, 47th verse, "He hath not dealt so with any nation." Christianity, he declared, through all centuries has always inspired the most ardent patriotism. We are not simply giving thanks today for. what God has jdone for us this year, but for. what He has done in all the years.
