EACH TEAM SCORES AND
 EACH BATTLES GRIMLY
Auburn's Superior Strength In the Line Is Offset By Alabama's Dar- ing Tricks and Superior
 Generalship. a
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS.

When the sun cast it's long shadow, and the annual battle of Alabama and Au- burn had been fought. no death chant chilled the blood, nor song of victory floated upward.
 For the first time throughout the long period in which these worthy rivals have clashed and wrestled in fierce abandon, the battle was drawn, with honors even, the score being to S.
 But the statement of the result tells in no part the thrilling story of the superb encounter in which no man deigned to For it is true that of all the sensational games played between the rivals, none has been more sensational than the affair of yesterday, none has been more bril- liant, none has been more splendidly gen. eraled, nor more spectacular
 It was one of those struggles in which the blood runs slowly, chilled, too slowly for the agonized beating of the heart; it was one of those struggles in which the blood courses madly through it's channels, setting ahame the vessel and tissue; 1t was one of those struggles in which the man leaps from his feet and gives ex- pression to emotion, foreseeing no cloud let that might exclude the sun; it was one of those struggles after which it was necessary for one to stop and reluctantly gather his errant mental forces, bringing them to earth.

FURNITURE STORE BURNED. All the Fire Forces of Norfolk Gather To Prevent Spread of Flames.

Norfolk, November 16.-An esti- mated damage of $S5,00O, practically all insured, is the result of fire which gutted the two upper stories of the five-story building occupied by the Willis Smith Cralle company, furni- ture dealers, here tonight.
 A general alarm brought all the fire fighting force of the city to action and the fire was confined to the upper stories. The building was formerly the old Purcell house, one of the early hotels of Norfolk.

Mills Are Now Idle.

New Bedford. Miss. November 16.-A!l the mills of the New England cotton yarn companies in this city and in Taun- ton were idle today. The stringency in the money market and the inability of jobbers to pay for the goods are given as the cause of the temporary shutdown. It is understood that the mills will run five days a week for the present. The company employees about 5000 hands.

ditions in the south that they would ac- tualiy mean what they say.
 ''Texas does as much for it's negro population as any other state in the union, ana the southern states generally do not overlook an opportunity to give tho negroes advantage. In Texas we have just as good schools for the blacks as the whites; the school appropriations are the same; the schools are kept open the same length of time.
 'As for the so-called Jim Crow law they appreciate it as much as the whites. In Washington I should think such a law would be welcomed by the negroes, for if they have racial pride they object as much to riding with whites as whites with blacks.
 MT. Garner does not believe any of the bills bearing upon the race question will be reported from the committee.

ALABAMA GAINED
 A VIRTUAL VICTORY.

Reviewing the game, the first sensa- ton is one of surprise. Every spectator, were he an alumnus of the University Of Aiabaiha or native ot the beautiful Au- burn plain, was surprised. Auburn. on account of it's excellent record. trotted upon the field a to 1 favorite. For Au- burn had beaten the Georgia Tech, which had beaten Georgia, and Alabama had only tied Georgia And Auburn had yielded a narrow victory to Sewanee, and Sewanee had smothered Alabama.
 For these reasons the following of Ala bama accepted the verdict as a virtual victory and Auburn admitted a virtual de- feat.
 There can be no dispute of the state ment that the magnificent resistance and fierce aggressiveness of Alabama sur- prised none more than the Auburn team itself. On the offensive, Alabama could not be checked, and on the defensive, save for one spot in the line, Alabama was Auburn's equal. 1t is true, taking the game as a whole, that Alabama outplayed Auburn. Alabama covered more ground during the scrlfnmage Alabama had 8 greater diversity of formations and kept the point of combat in opposing terri tory. And the only reason that Auburn scored was lannon's oversight in allow ing a penalty, and the only reason that Alabama failed to win was on account of the failure of a field goal kicked from the 15-yard line directly in front of the postS.

The ladies are not in favor of the sale of liquor by any means, but argue that to cut 1t off at once will be to thoroughly demoralize the cause of education in the county.

TERRIFIC TACTICS
 IN ROTH HALVES.

One remarkable feature of the game was the abandoning of defensive tactics. Both teams were determined to win. Each tried to puncture its opponents goal rather than protect its own.
 As a result, from the very beginning, there was a battle royal. The game was fast and bitterly aggressive. Through out the day, men surged from one end of the field to the other, the action being ex- ceedingly rapid and confusing. There was n pleasing absence of delay. Every man champed the bit under restraint. Every one seemed imbued with spirit of pride in annihilating.
 Each half was equally sensational Each half was equally as hard fought Each half was equally as rapid. From the beginning to the end in other words, there was no halt, no checking of speed, no cooling of impetuosity. No man seemed to tire, though the halves were of 30 minutes. With indomitable courage, the linemen held the terrific plunges of opposing backs. With indomitable cour- nge the backs hurled themselves against inc opposing linesmen. It was essentially n battle of men, men with brute strength and courage to stand terrific punishment men with minds keen and wide awake. ready to assist their force with strategy and trick. And as a result, the game was one of consuming interest, causing the spectators, standing erect, to be thrilled ad startled with each separate move and clash.
 HANNoN MAKES
 ONE FATAL MISTAKE.
 That the battle would be one fiercely fought was evident from the very be- .inning. Auburn kicked to Alabama. The first signal was a forward pass, ubich took Auburn by surprise and worked. Then followed a trick play, by means of which Quarterback Hannon rnatched off 30 yards. Then followed two forward passes, one of which was a failure. Alabama accepting the penalty.

U. S. DISPENSAT0RY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-nd.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim 1t to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh7 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna Is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says Of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that 1t is largely
pmploved In the treatment Of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinids
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the stomach, chronic intesti-
nal eatarrh, catarrhal jaundice, lea
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
II Is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, Is classed In the United
States Dispensatory as tonic, So also
ia cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient OF
peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found In
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says Of the action
of cedron that 1t is used as a bitter
tonic and In the treatment Of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of eopaiba, another ingredient OF
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as & stimu'
LIANT on the genito-urinary membranes
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
entery and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
