THURSDAY, DECEMBER ,, 1908.
THE University OF North Carolina
and the University of Virginia hold
themselves above the \. 4 VI. College
and will not play football with them.
Cause: They are afraid Of the far
mers'' and do not want to be beat by
them.
III North Carolina wants to win the
football championship next year she
should put mp the \. & VI. team as
her champion.-WilmingtOn Star.
The \. K NJ. team seems to be the
champions whether North Carolina
puts them up or not. Certainly the
University team is not in it with the
farmers, however contemptuously
the former may regard the latter.
If the remedy for hookworm dis
ease is SO simple and inexpensive
why does not somebody give the
formula and be done with it? Why
all this mystery and redtape about
having TO write to certain officials
before the lid can be priced off the
secret?
If the people Of North Carolina
and the South generally will give
more attention to laWlessness and
general cussedncss rampant and do
something to check it instead Of
gOing daft about hOokwOrm disease
and like tommyrot, they may acorn
plish thing for the public good.
Why does not the North Carolina
University tackle the A. 4 VI. on the
Wilmington Star.
Because the University Of North
Carolina is afraid of \. 4 W., that's
why. And the same thing applies to
the University of Virginia Just as
truly. Neither one will admit it, OF
course. but actions speak louder
than words.
THE Democratic and Republican
National Committees have given out
the expenses incurred by each in the
late campaign. According to the
published figures the Democrats re-
ceived SG2O,G44.77 and spent $619,-
4lO.O6 and the amount was contrib
uted by 100000 persons. The Re
publicans had S1,7OO,OOO, of which
G. p. Taft contributed S16O,O 900. In
the language of the Washington
HeraM, this is Important, ii true.
YES, by all means lot the pistol
tOting be made Il felony, and when
the law has been enacted enforce it.
No more NansemOnd non sense, where
thirty men were found to be in the
courtroom. armed to the teeth, ready
to shoot and kill, and no one has been
prosecuted or punished.-Farmville
(Na.) Herald.
Would the esteemed Herald make
pistol tOting a greater Offense than
murder? Killing IL man is scarcely
regarded as a felOnly by the courts
now.
THERE is no pretty girl or large
fortune involved in the 1imes-Dis-
patch'S ''story of romance and adj
venture" published Monday morn
ing. Merely Il scheme of sharpers to
pull the lee OF the recipient OF the
mysterious letter from the alleged
prisoner in Spain. That all. Major
Clay DreWry of the city OF Richmond,
being Il sensible man he will not give
up any OF his cash to pay transport
tation charges of the beautiful young
girl or the treasure box on such Il
tlimsy preteXt as that revealed by
the let ter he has received
MUCH as we rejoice over the victory
of the A. ( NJ football team in the
