TWO GAMES YESTERDAY

-e Two games of football drew out big crowd at the Riverside grounds yesterday afternoon and some fast a:.d good playing was witnessed. Hle Q.aikcrs and the Ham: ton Parks first entered the lists a!ld while the Qu.l- kers had the advantage in weight the Parks proved that they have snappy team, full of ginger and the equal if not the leader of any team in the city of the same weight. The Quakers however, used their weight to force breaks in the line during the first few minutes of play and at the end of five minutes touchdown was secured by Devereaux. The goal was not kicked. After that the battle became hot one and try, as they would the Quakers could do no more scoring. It was well fought contest. The lineup:

PRINCETON, N, Jg Oct. 24.-By ten touchdowns made in monotonous sue cession the Tigers defeated Lehigh by a score of 60 to 0. The game was marked by some brilliant individual playing on the part of Princeton, but inasmuch as Lehigh's team this year Is exceptionally weak no great elation is felt at Princeton over the decisive score. That they rolled up so many points was due to the fact that they simply couldn't help it.

Up in Thomaston Saturday the All Waterbury team tackled a hard prop osition in the Grove Athletic team of that place. Tn the first half the Wa terbury players went after their op- ponents and tore through them repeat , edly and finally forced Egan over for a touchdown. Spain failed to kick the goal.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 24. = Hail Pennsylvania In the gathering dark, ness that shrouded Franklin field after one of the bitterest gridiron battles ever fought in the Quaker City the adaptation of the splendid Russian na. tional anthem rang out again and again right under the cloud of light blue and white that marked Columbia's last stand, for the Quakers had beaten the Morningside eleven by the decisive score of 16 to O.
 Alert, desperate and resourceful, the black heImeted Quaker backs reeled and swirled steadily and surely through the Columbia line, and the Quaker forwards as eagerly insistent, ripped apart the Morningside defense until 1t was utterly undone.
 It was splendid triumph for Penn sylvania and bitter failure for Co lumbia. More than 600 undergrad ates stood as the whistle blew in the east section of Franklin field and sang the song of "Sans Souci,' which is bet ter to be prized than victory and more to be cherished than honorable defeat.

THE TIME NOT EXTENDED.

There has been some confusion in the
matter of extension of time for payment
OF poll tax. Last Sundays Columbia
State contained the following statement,
which proves to be Incorrect:
"Comptroller General Jones has re-
versed himself in his Interpretation of
the special act making misdemeanor
the failure to pay poll tax within the
time prescribed for the payment of other
taxes and subjectiDg the delinquent to O
fine before q magistrate. He has adopted
the more liberal construction that the
limit is not December 3lst, as he previ
ously ruled, which is the final time for
payment of other taxes without penalty,
but March 10th, the last day on which
taxes may be paid without execution
against the property. So those who
have failed to pay their polls may do so
any time between now and the 18th of
March without paying magistrate's
costs or fine. This announcement is also
of particular interest to those interested
in the school fund, since the forceful
collection would divert tho money from
the school fund into the general county
fund, all moneys collected from fines be-
longing to the latter fund, while the poll
tax money belongs by special act in the
school fund"
The Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier corrected
this statement on Monday as follows:
Erroneous impression will be given
to delinquent poll taxpayers by the pub,
lication of an article in local paper
this morning to the effect that Comp
troller General Jones had decided that
poll tax could he paid up to March 10
without penalty. Mr.. Jones says that
he has rendered no such decision and
what he said in the course of a conver-
sation was misunderstood. There has
been some question as to when the
penalty applied for non-payment of poll
lax, but no conclusion has ever been
authoritatively reached and in the mean
time the penalty attaches for non-pay-
ment of poll tax as it does to any Other,
sort of tax. There are great many de
linquents who may be misled by the
publication, and who will he sorely dis.
appointed when constable swoops
down upon them to collect the tax with
the added penalty"
BY the terms of this latter statement
the penalty attaches on and after De-
Gem Der 31st, 1908, or, in other words, all
polls unpaid on the last day of December
are subject to the penalty. 1t has been
a pretty general rule that the Legislature
eac year extended the time for paying
taxes, and while it appears to us. to be a
bad policy Except under extraordinary
.circumstances), in this case we think an
extension of time very proper, a doubt
having been expressed by the. Attorney
Gen efal himself as to the proper con-
structio& of the law. Better give the
taxpayer the benefit of the doubt.

THAT PANAMA REVOLUTION.

There is greab, deal being said and
done in Washington about the Panama
Canal matter, and it Us surprising to note
how many Southern Senators and Con-
gressmen are arraying themselves against
it. Tine canal will unquestionably be of
great benefit to the whole country, and
. particularly to tho South. Speaking on
this subject Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, says:
81 have no doubt but that the revolu-
tion in Panama was started in Washing.
ton and New York Senator Hoar, one
of the leading Republicans, thinks so, as
we'll as hundred of others. Washington
knew all about the plans of the revolu-
tion before it even started. 1t may be a
difficult matter to prove absolutely that
this government worked up that revolu-
ton, but firmly believe it did, and am
not alone in my beliefs. 1 want the
treaty. / want it for the South, because
no section of the country could be more
of this great waterway. But do not
want the honor of my country be-
smirched by any such tactics as are now
being employed by the Republican ad-
ministration to get possession of the
canal. If it could be shown that there
mad been nothing dlshonorable done in
the matter would gladly vote for the
treaty, but that can never be shown, and
my intention is to fight it to the last in
the caucus, and the caucus, am sure, is
going to say continue the fight"
eff it could be shown that nothing dis
honorable had been done" our Senator
would gladly vote for the treaty. Why
not say that unless it is shown that
something dishonorable has been done
he will support the treaty? Why fight a
good measure because there is an init
mated possibility of "dishonor" in some
of the methods used for it's accomplish
ment? 1t is nice thing to be good, but
let us be both constant and consistent in
our goodness. There is no reason why
our Southern Senators should strain al
gnats in Washington and swallow camels
at home.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
TODD the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's sEmulsionisthe
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way. is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
Phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
