THE BIC FOOTBALL
GAME.

Tomorrow, on the Lafayette field, in
Norfolk, the Southern football event
of the season will be fought to finish
between the teams of the University
of North Carolina and Virginia.
There will be in attendance besides
the mass of Norfolk people who will
go out merely to witness Il great spec
tacle, thousands of visitors from all
over the South whose sympathies rest
with one or the other collection of
brawny young men who represent the
two Universities.
The occasion of the meeting of Car
DINA and Virginia has come to mean
the sporting event of the year. 1t is
more than a sporting event, in fact;
it is the test of arms on an arena
that has been recognized throughout
the country as significant. The TWEEN
ty-two men carry with them the hopes
of two States On their skill and
strength and courage depend the pride
or the regret of thousands upon thous
ands, on the field and off; spectators
who crowd the stands and make the
picture gay with color and vociferous
with sound, or who press around the
telegraph office and bulletin boards
and wake early on the day after
Thanksgiving in order to see exactly
how it all came about through the
medium of the morning paper.
AS to the results it would be bet
ter to be frank in the beginning and
say that the odds as they may be
figured outside of flesh and blood and
the chances of battle favor Virginia.
Astute Scientists who see a campaign
in a football game and who are ia
miliar with all the idiocyncrasies of
+ ho hol alc
lieutenants take their maps and figure
it all out: Here Virginia met de-
feat, at the same place North Caro-
lima was worse defeated; there Virgin
ia won, North Carolina tied; again
Virginia won, North Carolina did not
win by so large a score. Hence Vir-
ginia should win from North Car
Dina.
The man who so figures the result
of a football game when the scores
are within hear-shot of reason, had as
well be pitching a coin. You cannot
tell, no mathematics or special infor
nation can tell, the combinations, the
opportunities the miShapS which may
come in the course of football game
and change comparative scores into
a bowling mockery.
Gwen two football elevenS of prac-
tically even weight as these teams are.
with the equal advantages of coaching
and training and practiec-and any
thing may happen. 1t happened in
1903 when North Carolina, after much
such a session as that just experienced,
won from Virginia by a score of six
teen to nothing, when the Virginia
magazines press was yet wet with am
nouncing that the result was assured
and the only question remaining the
score by which Virginia would win.
No, it is a fact that the game to-
morrow will be a hard one, with ali
sorts of surprises possible, and that
thet probabilities are that the score
will be very close.

Boy Tramps' Explanation to the Mont~

 We is newspaper feliers and wuz jus goin' home to our mudders," ex- piained two youthful vagrants yester- day afternoon to Recorder Baber as they stood before him on charge of being members of the genus hobo.
 we just got in de town last night and wuz going to pull out for New leans dis morning. but dat copper dere pinehed us, because we wux tryfn' to keep from freezing"
 Such was the explanation of Richard Heyman and George Sullivan. who were found 9t an early hour this morning by spedM Officer Paul Rapport of the Louisvk / and Nashville Railroad in q cave in9xhe high blum on the river side of the railroad cut running parallel with Bell Street
 The youngsters could hardly have been over IT years old and when asked by Recorder Baber If they wanted to testify their stare was as blank as that of Venus de Milo and they merely mur- mured. We don't know nuttin about cotes.::
 oficer Rapport told that he had seen smoke arising from the cave. which was formerly a store house for negro thieves but is now chiefly used as q tramp hostelry. The cave was dug out by the negroes and has a small open ing, but the interior ia as spacious as an ordinary living room. There the youngsters had built themselves e Ire and were sleeping peacefully.
 They told the officer that they were from San Francisco. but left San Fran cisco for Louisville and from there to Nashville and were on their way to New Orleans. This has been a route for q well known string of race horses and the boys undoubtedly are either rubbers or petty thieves so common around trachs.
 The boys were fined s5 each by the Recorder.

EIGHT DECISIONS HANDED DOWN

Matter of Reporter Has Not Yet Been Passed Upon---The Court

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes- terday handed down number of un- important decisions and received only few submissions. It Is more than likely that the Court will adjourn to- day until next Monday when cases from a new set of counties will be heard.
 Following are the opinions. eight in all. which were put out yesterday morning:
 Haralson. J.--J. B. Crimmer vs. s. J. Nolen. appeal from Taliapoosa Circuit Coourt; reversed and remanded
 Susie A. Wilson vs. ". !. Mason, ad- minfstrator. appeal from the Probate Court of conecuh County; appeal dis missed.

 The court yesterday failed to elect the successor to Phares Coleman. for rner Reporter. and it is believed that the man to i'll the ofilce will not be chosen until next week. No word was heard from Chief Justice T. N. McClei- Ian, who is sick at his home in Ath- ems. The election will probably be held when he is able to return to the bench.

GREAT COTTON MEETING
ALABAMA FARMERS TO GATHER
 HERE NOVEMBER 2s.
President Seymour of state Association Has Secured Low Ticket Ratcs
 on Railroads tor All
 yfsftoru.

President W. H. Seymour of the Alabama Cotton Growers Association, yesterday announced that he had suc- ceeded in securing one and one-third ticket rate. plus ss cents. on all rail. roads entering Montgomery for all per sons who will come to the Capital City November 20 to attend the special meeting of the Association.
 It is believed that this concession from the railroads will help swell the attendance materially on the conven- tion next Wednesday. The rate ap- plies to not only the authorized deie- gates from the various County organ izationg but all persons who have an interest in the Cotton Convention and care to come to Montgomery to attend ii.
 The great movement recently inau- gurated by President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association. to secure IS cents for the remainder of this years cotton crop is expected to meet with serious consideration by the members of the Convention.
 The different County organizations are reported unusually enthused over the new propaganda. The project to tie up 3,000.000 bales of cotton is meet ing with promising success all over the South. The forces Of the Southern organization will in the next few days be drawn together more effectively for this emergency fight and 1t is supposed the called meeting of President Sey- mour is right in lIne with this idea.
 Mir. Seymour said yesterday that he wished 1t clearly understood that in order for a visitor to get the reduced railroad rate to Montgomery he will have to secure receipt from the home agent which will be endorsed by Mir. Seymour in Montgomery. This. when presented there, will entitle the holder to one-third of the return fare with 25 cents added.
 The rates go into effect November eS, the day before the convention.
