PENNSYLVA CORNELL GAME
As Viewed by One Who, on Account

Attend.

Extract from an account OF the Penn
sylvania. Cornell game written by the
man who saw it only in the morning
newspapers.
A moment later Carnett came to the
surface, spIuttering but determined.
With the ball held firmly under his left
arm he struck out braveIy for the west

Swimming rapidly, with apparently an
open sea ahead Of him, touchdown

Graphing, they descended to the bottom

fouled and Cornell was given the ball on
downs.
llAbout this time the rescue party had
dug Young out of the mud, and this

field IN snowshoes, falling on the ball
behind the goal post and narrowly
escaped drowning. The ball and the re.

call the attention of the slanderous
St. Louis Globe Democrat, a republican
organ, to this statement. That paper,
not having the fear Of God before it
when it wrote, or being too ignorant
of facts to know better got off this in
famo-s reflection upon North Caro-
lima:
The difficulty Of getting troops out
Of North Carolina for the Cuban war
is but an experience had by the South
eTn Confederacy during the civil war.
President Davis had more trouble rails
ing troops from that State than from
any other State II the Southern Con-
federacy."
Let us give this unkind republican
organ some most needed Information
North Carolina raised troops in the
great war between the States with
great enthusiasm and intense energy
after it succeeded. 1t not only sent to
the front quickly very large regiments,
but regiments that fought with a
spirit, pluck and Enterprise second to
no troops in the war on either side.
In 1850, in the last vote for Governor,
it 3olled liz, 800 white votes. Under the
great Vance an army Roster of North
Carolina troops in the war was pre-
pared and has been published by the
State Of North Carolina in three mas
sive volumes. They show tina this
State had more han 126, 900 in the war.
We cannot give the precise figures not
having the Roster at hand. We know
it is more than 126, 900. No other State
came in 20, 900 of that number.
Again, the Records OF the war pub
Iished by the United States Government
now having reached 109 volumes
show that North Carolina lost a great
