The winning football team gazcd proud
From out their Pullman heaven,
There were three who g ribs in the crowd,
Five noses leaned r'l.ycn.
One leg lay in plaster shroud,
And the dents in the skulls were seven.
Their sweaters, mad nom neck to belt,
No frat pins dill adorH.
But brcastpltcs OF their rivals scalps
Were very mcc;iy worn
The muscles meath their h'ackcucd eyes
Were swelling like popped corn.

And rubbed his battered knee
Snow by the great st. Els ghost,

And binkcd a fishy eve.
"Yra. they're our meat" he musel, and yet
Methought | heard him sigh
"When that they saw our last touchdown,
They wandered off to die
He sighed again. "And yet, he said,
Less sad OF speech than mild,
'Thcy put us up rcdhut same.
Forsooth, it made 'cm wild
To see us fall down DER their score

"And yet''-he dropped his muddy head

Siliccous gravels have always been
regarded as one of the best kinds of
roadmaking materials. They have this
considerable advantage over prepared
macadam, that they need no crushing
and are therefore cheaper while they
have been partially sorted by the wa
tiers which transported them to where
they are found. When macadam costs
from $1,000 to $500 per mile, gravel
costs from $4,000 to 5000 per mile
c'Pavemcnts and Roads" page 3S7) In
many of the northern states the gravel
beds of the glacial drift have furnished
excellent roadmaking materials for en-
tire states.

RAIN SAVED THE CROPS.
James River Water, Ruined by the

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

SPRINGWOOD, VA, July 26.-The
continued drought which began the
% day of July lasted until few days
ago, and since then we have had most
gracious and plentiful showers. which
have redeemed the waning corn crop and
restored vegetation generally, and pIenti-
full hay crops have been cut and the far
mers are generally rejoicing. Wheat
threshing is now being done, and the
wheat is fine and the yield is very crafty
ing, and the farmers are getting readily
50 cents for the new crop.
The villages and some country homes
are filling up with tourists and summer
visitors many in Buchanan, Fincastle and
Eagle Mount.
James river has been in a bad condition
for fishing for the past month. the result
of Nthe ore washings and refuse OF the
tannery and pulp mills at and near Gov
ington. The citizens say it kills fish and
even cattle. and the water is totally unfit
for human use, the color varying from an
Egyptian black to a dark drab.
The communities along the river are
very indignant at this abuse of the lovely
and usually pure, clear stream. and it is
thought that it may affect the water use
at both Lynchburg and Richmond by be-
ing inpregnated with both fannie and

Special Dispatch to The Times)
RALEIGH, n. c., July 2S-The fusion
ticket of the Republicans and Populists as
given yesterday leaves one less in the
field. There are now the Democratic,
Prohibitionist and Fusion State tickets.
Secretary of State Thompson, who headed
the Populist ticket says he sacrificed
himself for his love for Butler and his
desire to see him returned to the United
States Senate.
DETESTED MAN.
NThere is scarcely a man in North Caro-
lima more thoroughly hated than is Ma
rion Butler, nor a man who stoops from
his high position as United States Senator
to do such little, mean things. For in
stance here one night last week he did
not go to his hotel until o'clock in the
morning, and he was out going to the
homes Of negroes rous!ng them up and
urging them to register.
KEPT HIM MOVING.
Red-shirtsm seems to rule things In
some of the eastern counties, as is shown
by the way Captain Davis, Of Populist
headquarters, was met at Warsaw and
different places when he attempted to get
off ind speak. A gentleman who was on
the same train tells me he never wit
messed anything TO touch it. AS Davis
would go to get off he would be met by
a band of Red Shirts. who would tell him
only white men at heart could stop there.
AS the train pulled out telegram would
be sent on to the next station, with in
structons to keep the Populist head
quarters man moving. He was finally
put off outside of Rocky Mount, when
he made his way in and took u train re-
turning him to Raleigh.
GIID BUTLER.
Once the train was searched for Butler,
it being thought the conductor had Sc
creted the Senator.
Thompson says in his letter explaining
his coming down from the ticket that if
they secure the Legislature they will re-
peal the present election law, and will
have an amendment to the Constitution
prohibiting the negro Office holding. The
letter is good letter for Democratic cam
