yesterday
His playing finally came to be Of
such nature tIat he was undeniabIe,
and when the lineup was announced
for the Virginia game, Harry Costello
was at quarterback.
In the hour Of victory, achieved by
such perfect team as Georgetown had
yesterday, II might appear invidiOus to
single out any individual player for par
ucUlar praise, but COStello's work was
the greatest feature of the whole day.
Brilliant. scinCllating. fiery, dashing,
and speedy, Costello gave an exhibition
that has never been eXCelled, and sell
dom equalsd, by a man OF a Washing

There was one feature of the game
in which Virginia won commentator

the plays, and that was on the sec

the first string unhindered they found
one of the three Virginia backs drag

Honaker in the open field. George
town would have added many more
points to her comparatively large
total.
But Virginia was not alone in the
secondary defense business, for the
men upon whom Georgetown depended
were just as reliable as their Oppo-
nents. The excellence of the linemen
justified Coach Nielsen in playing his
backs quite a considerable distance
from the line, so the team was dou-
bly, protected both for forward passes
and straight football.

The good ship Georgetown was Ger
tainly primed yesterday.
Speaking generally Virginia was over
Swallowed in every single department,
but the real story OF the game was in
the line. 1t was known before the game
that Georgetown had a good set Of for
wards, but the way these men nlayed
yesterday was revelation Bryant,
Wymard, Daley, Fitzgerald, and Cunif
were simply invinCiblc. They charged,
ripped. pulled, and fought in such a
spIIis1d manner that they tore asundec
the mer who were being depended upon
to give Virglnia's backs a chance to
get started around the ends.
Georgetown has had some good line
men in the past, but there never was a
quintet that had anything on the five
which wrecked VirBi1iia's hopes yes
terday.
And it was not weight alone that was
responsible for the work Of the George
town linemen. While Il is true that
each Of the men had some advantage
over his opponent in the matter of
pounds, the real answer is found in the
scientific manner in which the Blue and
Gray forwards applied their strength.
backed up by tremendous aggressive
ness
In the backfield Virginia had some
grand players, but they we're helpless.
If they started through the line they
were lucky even to get hold OF the ball,
while If they essayed an end run they
seldom got beyond the tackles. Vir-
ginia's line was shattered and cOnse-
quently her brilliant backs were not
able to gain more ground then they lost.
out on the TANKS Hegarty and Barri-
cello were never still. So well did the
linemen play that Virginia seldom got

an end run did get fairly well under

pair would go diving in and when the
scrirnmage was over the Virginia back

Beginning Of the Campaign.
New ton Enterprise,

Newton Enterprise.
The Democratic State Executive
Committee which recently met in Raj
eigh, set time for holding the pre-
cinct, county and State conventions.
This action marks the beginning in
this State OF the campaign of 1910.
The fixing of a date for all the pre-
cinct meetings and another for all the
county conventions throughout the
State is an innovation; a very i'm
portant one. But it is, in our Opin-
ion, q wise one. 1t will meet with
general appreciation. 1t will, to a
large extent, do away with the long
drawn-Out preliminary campaign OF
candidates for State offices, save
them from the expenditure of much
money, and prevent divisions and
bitterness between the followers of
the different candidates. In this way
the true sentiment of each county
will be. more nearly expressed for the
respective candidates, as one county
will not be influenced by the action
of another, and there will be no OPP
portunity of picking the winner and
jumping on the band wagon.
Another commendable action of
the committee was the latitude and
discretion allowed to the county ex-
ecutive committees. Instead of one
iron clad plan of organization for all
the counties, choice is given the
county committee of three different
plans; precinct primaries, county pri-
maries or county mass-meetings. BY
the precinct plan each precinct will
carry up its proportional strength
to the county convention. By the
county primary plan majority vote
of the county as whole will deter
mine the denominations. By the county
convention or mass-meeting plan
nominations can be made the old
way, either by delegations from the
precinct or township meetings or by
all the Democrats attending the
county convention.
This is getting back to home-rule,
old time Democracy; giving to each
county the right to decide the way it
most likes for choosing its candidates
for sOunty officers and its choice OF
State and other general officers.
The dates fixed for the respective
conventions are precinct, June %;
county, July ,; State, July IA. The
State convention WILDE held in Char

Judge Ward said II have seen and

Saturday morning L. R. Carter and
c. I. Lewis, in obedience to the rule
issued by Judge Ward, appeared in
court. The evidence of L. A. Daniel
was that Carter and Lewis had ap-
preached him knowing he was a
special venireman and said that Pow
ell was crazy and that people up there
wanted to hang him, and then said:
'1f you are taken on the jury do all
you can for Powell"
The defendants alleged that the
conversation took place before they
knew that Daniel was on the venire
but when crOss-eXamined by W. E.
Daniel, for the State, they could not
explain to the satisfaction of the
court why they should ask Daniel to
do all he could for the defendant pro
vided he was taken on the jury, with
out knowledge of the fact they were
talking to a venireman, and they
were adjudged guilty. Judge Ware
fined Carter $50 and costs and in i'm
posing the fine said 81 would send
you to jail but for the fact that your
mother died yesterday" Lewis was
sent to jail for ten days, but was later
allowed to pay a fine of SO and
costs, and was released.

practically stationary throughout the

ment station. That of oats has been
slightly larger during the last five

The machine used by Professors
Moore and Horton on the Wisconsin

1t is important to have a machine

Sulphate of iron, which is perhaps
the most effective chemical used, must
be applied with the right kind of ma
chine in order to produce perfect re-

1t has been suggested by expert

chimes to be used jointly, thus saving
the expense and obtaining equally
good results as though each farmer

In thickly infested fields a solution

should be sprayed just before the
buds begin TO open. when the thistles
are from ten to u inches high, as this
prevents them from going to seed
The spraying should be repeated
