yesterday afternoon between the local High school team and Bridgeport High school team. The Bridgeport boys came up at o'clock looking big and strong enough to eat up the local boys which they were very confident of do ing until 1t came time for them to line up and the active part of the fun began. Bridgeport kicked off to Nau- gatuck 10 yard line and Twck getting the ball on nice catch started down the field with the pigskin, but was brought down after he had gone b yards. They then lined up and the local boys by good fast playing and severe line bucking by Whylie and Twick and also halfback Welch, took the ball to about four inches of the Bridgeport's goal line and that being their third down, Bridgeport holding like madmen, they lost the ball on a misplay. Bridgeport then punted to Naugatuck's 40 yard line where Nau- gatuck getting the ball, took it down the field again to Bridgeport's 10 yard line. Bridgeport got the ball but soon lost it on tumble Naugatuck again carried it back to their s yard line and lost it again. Bridgeport punted and Naugatuck tried drop kick but failed to score in first half. In the second half Naugatuck kicked to Bridgeport's 5 yard line and then by good playing brought the ball down to the 45 yard line where they lost on tumble, E. Welch of Naugatuck getting the ball. Naugatuck fought her ground brayely but could not score and the second half ended with Naugatuck having the ball on the 40 yard line.

New York, Octohef I2.--About
forty alumni of the University OF
North Carolina assembled for an in
formal dinner this evening at Lue-
chow's German restaurant. Most OF
them were residents of the city, but a
few had come from out of town for
the occasion.
The toastmaster was ex-Justice Au-
guStuts Van Wyck. He is one OF the
mary distinguished New Workers
whose college days were spent at
Chapel Hill. There were no set
speeches. The ex-Judge in the course
of a little talk said:
Il am glad / went to Chapel Hill
instead of attending one of the large
universities of the North. From what
[ hear the old institution is even
greater now than it was in my time.
The college men of the North regard
it as the center of Southern scholar
ship. For us who live in New YORK
it is a great pleasure to get together
at dinner occasionally, and hope our
meetings hereafter will be frequent.
The committee that arranged the
dinner consisted of Judge Van Wyck,
Frof. Charles Baskerville Lindsay
Russell, Rufus L. Patterson and
Ralph H. Graves. The others present
included George Gordon Battle. A.

Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study TO the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound-wasc careful to see that 1T
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in haf
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin. she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

We heartily endorse the idea that

dolph A. Shotwell. He deserves it.
No citizen of the State stands more
re-eminentiy as representative Of the
men who suffered for the State and
through their labors to protect the
white people in the days of negro
rule. AS the scenes of one of the
two novels on which the drama Of
The Clansman is based are laid in Mr..
Shotwell's county and those in The
other in a locality close by, we sug-
gest that it would be very appropriate
for Mr.. Thomas Dixon to donate ii
certain per cent. of the receipts from
his play in the cities of the South, es-
pecially those of the two CarolinaS,
to the fund to be raised for erecting
q monument to the man who was
made to suffer SO much for the part
he played as d member of the ku hlIX
