NEW YORK. April 19.-The present
sensational drop in the price of po-
tatoes may mean cheaper food OF all
kinds. Farmers are closing out their
supply of old potatoes for as little as
twenty cents a bushel. which is the
lowest price in m&hy years. Other
foods are also cheaper. AS a result
OF its investigation, the American Az

a marked decline has occurred IN
the prices of certain food products.

University Notes.

Chapel Hill, Oct. 3.-The Univer-
sity of North Craolina is confident
that she will put out creditable foot
ball team this fall. There are thirt-
teen of last years varsity players
back and some of these may have to
relinguish their places to some OF the
new men who are out for the team.
The old men are: McLain. Garrett,
Captain Thompson, Belk, Spainhour.
Venable, Winston, Williams, Brown,
Ruffin, Hedgepeth, Tillett and Por-
ter. Some of the new men are Ross
and Spencer who were at the A. & M
two years ago, Abernethy, Hasty,
Young and Chambers.
The schedule includes games with
the University of Kentucky, V. M. L.,
Davidson, Wake Forest, Georgetown
V. P. l., Washington and Lee, and
the University of Virginia. The sue
cess or failure of the season will de-
pend upon the outcome of the Viz
GINA game. Carolina has not beaten
Virginia since 1905. 1t is hoped this
years team will succeed in putting
the University at her old place at
the head of athletics in the state.
The class teams are organizing.
They will be coached by Mr.. Roach
Stewart, former Varsity captain
who is back in the law school. The
Varsity scrub and class teams fur
nish healthy exercise for over 100
students. The game has been chan
ged markedly during the past year
and the most dangerous features
eliminated without the interest be-
ing killed.
The coach is DR.. Brides of Yale an
excellet gentleman, and he has all
the men working with good spirit.

literary societies initiated so new
members each Saturday night. The
societies which are nearly as old as
the University itself have always
been strong factors in the life Of the
Institution. They have been train
ing camps for many Of the most
famous men North Carolina has ever
sent out. 1t is an interesting fact
that the address delivered by James

He had brought back only the chry-

FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED.

When the bill to submit the ques

people was before the Legislature
it passed the Senate unanimously
not a single vote was cast against it
In the House, there were but three
votes given against it-Albright and

Democrat.
The proposition was a nonpartisan
measure advocated by all parties;
and when submitted to the voters of
the State, it was adopted by a maj
ority of "A, 1856. Windsor Ledger.

to be done by a vote of the people of

DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT BEST.
We quite agree with the Chatham
Record when it says:

We quite agree with the Chatham
Record when it says:
Both political parties have had
control of our State at different
times, and we ask every intelligent
and unprecedented man to consider
seriously, before he votes next Nov
ember, which party has given our
State better government. We can
only Judge the future by the past,
and experience IS the best teacher.
Therefore let every man seriously
consider the experience of our State
under Democratic rule, and under
Republican rule, and by his vote next
November say which party he hon
estly believes has given us the bet
ter government.
"A comparison of our State gov
erment under Democratic rule with
that under Republican rule ought to
convince anybody, even wayfaring
man though he be Republican, that
we have had better government in
North Carolina under the former
than under the latter. The Rpubli-
cans have had control Of our State,

judicial and legislative) twice; first
under Holden in 1868 and last under
Russell in 1897. Will any man, even
the most ignorant and prejudiced
Republican, say that Holden gave us
better government than Vance, Jarvis,
Scales or any of our Democratic
governors? But a Republican may
say that Holden's term was so long
ago that it should not be compared
with a more recent term. Well, if
this be granted for the sake Of argu-
ment, how about Russell's term?
This began in January, 1897, and end
ed in January, 1901, and how does
his term compare with Aycock's, or
Glenn's, or Kitchens? Can any man
truthfully say that North Carolina
was as prosperous and had as good
government under Russell as we have
mad since?
while Democrats proudly boast
IF the good government under our
Democratic Governors, what Repub-
lean will boast of the good COVER
nent under Holden and Russell?
IF then we must judge the future
~ the past every voter, who really
lesires good government in North
Carolina, ought to vote for contin-
lance of good government under
Democratic rule" !

REVOLUTION
SPREADING
To Spain And Military
Chiefs Ordered to Hold
Troops in Readiness
For Active Work.
BY United Press Wire.

Madrid, Oct 5.-That the .Porui-

Is greatly feared by the Spanish au-
thorities. Your correspondent is in
formed on the highest authority that
the minister of war has sent urgent
orders to the military chiefs of all
divisions to hold all local troops in
constant readiness to suppress any
republican demonstrations.
The republican clubs and societies
in Madrid are publicly celebrating the
rews from Lisbon that the revolution
has been successful in Portugal. They
are decorating their windows and bal
comics.
Trouble is expected first in the great
commercial centers where the feeling
of republicanism is strongest
