CARLISLE, 10: VIRGINIA, O.

Richmond, Va, October 14.-Eight
thousand people witnessed the football
game between me University of Vir-
ginia eleven and the Carlisle Indian
team this afternoon. The Orange and
Blue predominated in the crowd, OF
course, but here and there the Indian
colors showed, and there was not lack
ing plenty of generous cheering cor
the red skins throughout the play
ing. Virginians were out classed. The
Indians were very much the heavier,
and were the superior in team play.
The result was a score of IL to 0 in
favor of the Carlisle eleven. The V!--
ginians contested every inch of ground,
but it was to no avail. The heavy mass
plays of the Indians were almost ire
sistible, while on the other hand The
Indian line was practically impregna-
BILE to the lighter warriors from Char
lottesville. The playing was fast and
furious from beginning Ito end, and
Virginia suffered noticeably in the
matter of having men knocked out.
Nobody was seriously injured, however.
The game was clean throughout. The
star playing for Virginia was done
by Barney and Cooke, particularly the
former; that for the Indians by Exen-
dine. Porter, Libby and Dillon.

These are the first per cent. coun-

State of North Carolina and shows
how the credit of New Hanover county
is regarded. When the bonds were
first advertised. the bids received were
slightly below par. Many thought the

that they were wise in Offering the
bonds at 4 per cent.
1t will be only few weeks until the
commissioners can get money on the
bonds to use in road improvements.
New Hanover county now has several
roads beautifully macadamized but
there are many miles Of road yet to be

building is regarded as one of the
best investments q county can make
for macadamized roads are Of wonder
