PENN w YALE
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
Quaker Victory Gives Them
First HOnOrs in Basketball.

NEW HAVEN, Feb. Spy defeating
Yale by a score of 1S to II the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania practically won
pionship here last night. The game
was hard fought and was not decided
until the referees whistle ended the
struggle.
With less than thirty second to play,
Captain Moves, of Yale, had a chance
to tie the score with a goal from a
foul. He failed, however. by a narrow
margin, and the Yale men groaned.
The score was tied three times, twice
in the first period and once in the sec
ond. Pennsylvania led by a score of s
to Z when intermission came. Yale's
failure to toss baskets from fouls cost
her the victory. Only three out of ten
we're scored, while P. Keinath, the
Pennsylvania star, scored six out of
nine. The lineup follows:

Warmly Endorses Work Of Appalachian
National Forest Association,

Atlanta, Ga. san. 23.-Presi.
dent Lagoon johnson, sof the Ap.
palachian National Forest Asso.
citation, to-day received a letter
from President Roosevelt warmly
endorsing the work Of the asso.
cation relative to the preserva.
ton of the Appalachian forests.
The President's letter quotes from
a speech he delivered at Raleigh,
in October, 1905, and then says
"We know also that these for
ests are of the utmost Importance
to navigation on the. streams to
which they give rise. All the
water which falls in the southern
Appalachians goes to the sea
through navigable channelswhich
it costs the government over $780,
DOC, 900 to keep clear from sand,
silt and gravel. The detritus is
increasing every year as the noun
tains are denuded of their cover.
The task of cleaning out the
Southern streams and harbors
grows heavier each year. Until
We remove the cause BY protect
ing these mountain forests from
fire and reckless cutting, we shall
inevitably expend increasing sums
without permanent results.
Eight years ago the movement
for the purchase of these forests
took definite shape. While it has
grown and Is stronger now than
ever, it's merits should make it
far stronger than it is. There
fore, I am pleased at the organi-
zatiou of your ASSOCIATION with
the definite purpose OF getting
these forests established. As I
said in my last message to Con-
gress, "we should acquire in the
Appalachian and White noun
tain region all the forest lands
that it is possible to acquire for
the use of the nation"

Dog Took Negroes Gun.

The Messenger and Intelligent
Ger has heard many strange stories
told of the remarkable do1ngs of
mad dogs, but none of them are
worthy to be compared with the
truly extraordinary achievement
of a rabid canine in Lilesville
township a few days ago. The
particular dog in question encoun-
tered a negro OF Henry spencer's
place, in Walltown, and actually
succeeded in taking possession of
the shot gun the man carried.
Wiley Fort, who lives on Mr..
W. S. %Spencer's place, also in
Walltown, is the name of the man
who was the victim of this strange
encounter. He was strolling
through the fields hunting when
he suddenly espied a dog ap-
preaching him along a path.
Bloody foam was dripping from
the animals mouth and it's ewes
were as green as grass. Wiley,
terrified, began housekeeping, at
the same time trying to cock his
gun. So extreme was his terror,
how ever, that he could not muster
up strength enough to raise the
hammer, and just as the dog came
upon him, he stumbled and foil.
No pen can describe the unutter-
able horror which seized upon poor
Wiley as he fell; and even now he
does not know how he got away
from the place, but he does know
that he left his gun behind him.
The dog, as Wiley scrambled
off. seized the stock of the surren-
dered frearm in his teeth and
gnawed upon it until he was shot
dead, with a pistol by another COL
ored man who slipped upon the
animal after it had about sue
cumbed from the effects of the
poison in his system.

CO|orsd Man Found $500 of Buried Money

A tin can full of gold and silver,
supposed to have been buried dur
ing the civil war, was unearthed
here today by a negro barber by
name of George Rouss. While
walking down the railroad track
in front of the Globe-Home fur.
niture factory, his coat was caught
by an iron rod driven down in the
ground. This excited his curiosi-
ty, and upon examining the
stick and pulling at it the dirt
caved in around it, exposing to
view a tin al which proved to be
filled with gold and silver to the
amount of $500. The tin can was
SO rusty that a coed portion of it
had been rotted away. Whether
it was hid during the war or later
by thieves, it Is not probable that
any one will claim it and the ue-
gro is overjoyed at his find. It is
known for a certainty that big
sums of money were hid during
the civil war and at different
times people from other States
nave come to look it up, but to no
avail. Twelve wagon loads Of
copper were hauled from the de-
pot here in the early morning
hours of February, 1864. and
buried 800 yards north of the
depot. Some time ago two GENTLE
men from Mississippi who helped
to bury the copper were here, but
could not locate it. 1t is worth
at least $40, 900 today if it could
be found.-High Point dispatch,
18th, to Charlotte Observer.

0verman's to Bill Regulate Injunctions
and Practice Of Judges,

When the railway rate bill was
under consideration by Congress,
Senator Overman introduced an
amendment that if adopted, would
have denied to Inferior Federal
judges the power of settling aside
State legislation. The junior
senator has relptroduced as a bill
this amendment. 1t was known
at the time of its consideration
as the Limiting Court Review
amendment. The President gave
this proposition enthusiastic sup
port. Twice he advocated It's
adoption in special message to
Congress and on numerous occa-
sions confded to callers that fact
that he very earnestly favored it's
adoption. The idea advanced in
the bill is pertinent at this time,
and for this reason Senator Over
man has introduced it. The title
of the measure is "the regulation
of injunctions and the practice of
the district and Circuit courts of
the United States" The provi-
sions follow;
That no preliminary injunc-
ton, interlocutory order, or de-
cree to restrain, prohibit or set
aside, or suspend the execution cf
any rate, regulations, order, or
proceedings prescribed by the
State or any railroad commission
of any State shall be issued by
any district or circuit judge of the
United States until, upon due hear
ing of the case, after notice of at
least five days shall have been
given the adverse party, and the
same shall be heard and concurred
in by at least two judges presiding
in said hearing at least one of
whom shall be a judge of the cir
cult court of the United States
or a circuit justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, except
after final judgment or decree has
been rendered declaring said rate,
regulation, order or proceeding
prescribed by said railroad com
mission of any State to be in vic.
lation of the provisions of the
Constitution and laws and treaties
of the United States. Either
party to said proceeding shall
have the right to appeal directly
to the Supreme Court of the Uni.
ted States, and said appeal shall
have precedence in said Supreme
Court over all cases except cases
of like character and criminal

If cough once gets into your
system it acts on every muscle
and fibre of the body and makes
you ache all over. It especially
affects the intestines aud makes
you constipated, SO in order to
get rid of a cold thoroughly and
without delay you should not
take anything that will tend to
constipate. Kennnedy's Laxative

To Be Held at Birmingham, June $40 and H..

Major Henry A. London, of
Pittsboro, Adjutant- General of
the North Carolina Division of
the United Confederate Veterans,
was in the city yesterday, and
stated that Adjutant-G General W.
E. Mickle, Of New Orleans, had
issued general orders fixing the
time for the annual reunion this
year on the 9th, 10th and 18th of
June. The reunion will be held
in Birmingham, Ala, the place
having been selected by the veto
rams at the Richmond reunion.
General Mickle writes that the
local committees at Birmingham
are active and making great prep
arations for the entertainment
of the old soldiers. Birmingham
besides being one of the largest
and most progressive cities in the
South, is also widely known for
its hospitality and patriotism,
and her citizens have too much
regard for the city's splendid rep
utation to a provide a reception
and entertainment anything short
of the first order.
Major London hopes that North
Carolina veterans will be largely
represented at the reunion, and il
is not only important but neces-
sary that every camp shall pay it's
dues promptly to General Mickle.
No camp is entitled to representa-
ton Or the privilege Of voting at
the reunion unless it's dues shall
have been paid. The voting
strength of the North Carolina
veterans has been small at other
reunions because the comps in
this State are i'll arrears, not quite
one-half the camps in this State
being entitled to representation
or to vote at the Richmond re-
union.
North Carolinians made o gal
liant showing in the spectacular
parade at Richmond, it being es-
timated at Richmond that 5000
Tar Heel veterans were there; yet
comparatively few of this number
vote on account of the fact that
the camps of which they were
members had failed to pay their
dues.
There are about 76 camps in
North Carolina, and for the sake
of their reputation and honor the
officers urge that they pay the
small dues, ten cents a member.
C%arelessness is assigned as the
cause of the non-payment. But
those camps which desire to have
representation at the Birmingham
reunion must pay their dues by
April l, 1908.
North Carolina whose pride it
is to claim more soldiers on the
Confederate field than any other
Southern State can boast, should
be more adequately represented at
the annual reunions than the
State has been heretofore.
