Many years ago a poor Yale stu dent, who had a tendency to con sumption, was living in South Caro lina, in the home of the widow of Gen. Nathaniel Greene. While there he met some Southern planters who were bemoaning the fact that the chief profit of the cotton industry was lost, because no machine had yet been invented which could sep arate the cotton seeds from 'the cot ton. Young Eli Whitney, for that was the Yale student's name, went to work and labored on month in and month out. He perfected the cotton gin, but before he could get a patent upon the invention, the barn in which he had his workshop was broken open, and the machine was stolen, and his ideas were patented by other men. Eli Whit ney, the man who has made millions of dollars for the South, the man who has doubled and quadrupled and infinitely increased the earning capacity of the Southern plantations poor Eli Whitney himself never got a dollar from his cotton gins, save the poor pittance of $50,000 granted him by" the legislature of South Carolina. Like Robert Ful ton with his steam boat, like Morse with his telegraph wires, like George Stepenson with his locomotive, like R. A. Holden, the agronomist, and Burbank, the wizard of flowers ana vegetables, these men have been seed planters. They have made mil lions of dollars for other men; but like Aggassiz they have not had time to make money for themselves. "One man soweth, and another reapeth."

Over twenty-five thousand people witnessed the two Carolina football games in Virginia Thanksgiving day. NORFOLK GAME. Before a crowd of twelve thous and spectators, A. & M. defeated V. P. I. today 6 to 5. The game was one of the fiercest ever seen on a Southern gridiron. All day trains poured into Nor folk from Carolina and' Virginia towns until the crowd at the game was estimated at twelve thousand Two-thirds of the crowd were"Down numers ana wavea tne red and TT ft 1 i . i a white banners most enthusiastically The weather was ideal, being per haps slightly warm for the best kind of football game. The A. & M special train from Raleigh, Composed of twelve cars filled to overflowing reached here at 1 p. m. About 300 students headed by the magnificent cadet band, paraded the streets of Norfolk and wound up at the Fair fax hotel with a street concert. Governor Glenn and party from Raleigh arrived on the special, and after luncheon at the Fairfax, oc cupied a box at the game in the mid dle section and were most interested spectators. Governor Glenn warmly congratu iaieu me Doys aiter tne game on such a manly, fair and clean game he said that he was prouder than ever that he was a Tar Heel and from a State that could produce such brawn and brain. RICHMOND GAME. In the presence of about twelve thousand enthusiastic supporters of the riv?l universities, Virginia won the victory over .Carolina by the overwhelming score of 31 to 0 in the great Thanksgiving football game played on the Broad Street Park gridiron this afternoon. Five touch downs, four goals and one safety tell the story of the score. Virginia's fast and fierce backfield was too much for the men of the white and blue, but though it was from the first apparent that the orange and blue would triumph, the plucky Tar Heels never let up one ioto on the fierceness of their play. Indeed they showed up far better in the sec ond half than in the first half, while in the second Virginia scored only six points and those were added by a pure stroke of luck that let Staun ton through the line with almost a clear field between him and the goal ine. There was the usual enthusiastic crowd present, and the field was a solid mass of color. News and Ob server. Vessel Sunk. New York, Nov. 26.

Brought About In Prison Association by Charges ol Cruel Punishment in Pennsylvania Reformatory. Richmond, Va., Nov. 28. Charges of cruel and unusual punishment, in flicted upon prisioners in the indus trial reformatory at Huntingdon, Pa., precipitated an exciting scene at today's session of the American Prison Association. D. Sulzberger, member of the State Prison Society of Pennsylvania, made the allega tions and admitted they were based only on statements on former prison ers. I . K. ratton. general superin tendent of the reformatory, resent ed the charges and a dozen delegates challenged Mr. Sulzberger's spurces of information. The association fin ally tabled a resolution offered by Mr. Sulzberger, looking to an inquiry into the system of publishment for refractory prisoners iu penitentiaries and reform schools. . Getting Good Measure. "I like to get good measure, in everything even inliappiness," said one, laughingly. "I think it is only one's right to have the full pint or pound asked for, and to try to get it, no matter what the thing is." She was a living example of how to go about this getting of good measure in happiness. She had a definite working rule to go by, too a rule which she put into three divi sions, it was a rule of Christian living in everyday thing"?, a working out of what is too of ten left to theory. First of all, she practiced self con trol and that alone is a large factor in the making of a Mint, To hold one's tongue or temper in the time of little or big temptation to be serene, and keep sweet, though the domestic or business heavens fall wim irritating suddenness this is something of what self-control means. And it is not a bit easy; but, oh, so worth while to try for. Then she was a busy womarrr She put her energies into intelligent work, rather than wasting them in frivolous pastime or pleasure. Out of the work she made to come the third part of the rule. That was the constant development of her best faculties, that she might do in creasingly better work in her chosen line. Apd so she lived "happy ever after she began to follow her rule. Some one has put the thought like this: "When all other roads to happiness have been tried and failed these three: Self-control, intelligent work, and the constant development of one's best f actulties will . . . bring as . . . lasting content as earth affords." Selected. Thanksgiving Debate. Victory in the debate Thursday night between Wake Forest College and Randolph-Macon College, of Ashland, Virginia, was won by Wake Forest, whose representatives dem onstrated that they had successfully earned how to present these in an eloquent manner. Each of the de baters showed that they had splen didly prepared for the contest. The subject of the debate was, 'Resolved, That Injunctions Ought to be Allowed as a Means .Prevent ing Strikes," and in this the affirma tive view was presentented by Ran- dolp-Macon, and the negative by Wake Forest. The young collegians spoke with force and power, and though it was on "home ground" for Wake Forest, the applause show ed that B.andplp-Macon had many admirers here. Medicine That is Medicine.
