Ancient Football.
News.

GREENSBORO news.
The objections to the brutality of
football are not of recent origin by any
means. although it is often spoken of
as ''the brutality of modern football"
The game itself is a good many CEN
turtles old, an although it may have un-
turtles old, and Though it still clings to
its ancient reputation for brutality
AS fartback as 1888 the question of its
brutality was under discussion. The
following is an extract from "Anato-
nie of Abuses" by Philip Stubs
printed in London 328 years ago:
For as concerning football play,
protests unto ycl it may rather be
called 4 friendly Hnde of fight than a

President Underwood. Perhaps.

While Representative Underwood
declares that he does not expect to
be candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination. he further
declares that he would feel honored if
the delegation from his State voted for
him. This is precisely what the del
egation from his State will do. He
will thus go before the convention
and many more unlikely events have
happened than that which his nomina-
ton would be.
Undoubtedly the war is over and
many people in the North would take
special pleasure in supporting a
Southern man. Commenting upon this
aspect ofsthe matter, The Savannah
News stresses the fact that extremely
radical demands for changes in the
government are getting a foothold cut
West. The South" it observes, els
conservative, and there are many who
think that the republic is drifting too
far away from the mooTings fixed by
the founders. Hence, for that reason,
presidential candidate from the
South would meet with favor from q
big element of the Northern people"
Whatever may be thought of his re-
cord during the special session, Mr.
Underwood is indisputabIy a man Of
character and force president tim
Der in the fullest sense. It requires q
two-thfrds majority to nominate in
Democratic national conventions, and
the prospect that any candidate in
Democratic national conventions and
the prospect that any candidate will
enter the convention with such
strength is far from bright. In
deadlock convention Mr.. Underwood,s
chances would be good. Alabama
alphabetical position places her first
on the roll-call and she would keen
voting straight as long as desired
Manifestly. the political forecasters
cannot AFFORD to overlook Underwood.
AS the intervening months 90 on he is
more likely TO gain than to lose in
public estimation than to lose in
strength Charlotte Observer.

May Take Orercoat Into Coat.

The town of Monroe is now trying to
take the clothes off the back of one of
it's former officers. The clothes in
question is an oyercoat which Mr..
Williams, the officer in question, says
the town gave him last year. Evident
~ the town had the coat cut to fit Mr..
Williams whether it intended the coat
for a gift Ger not. The question that
most people will ask is, what does the
town want with secondhand over
coat? However the town wants it and
has taken out claim and delivery pa
pers to get possession of the same. 1t
is likely that this case will have to be
thrashed out in the big courts.

Raleigh Educates Dogs to Lead the
Blind.

Raleigh is more wonderful town
than ever Raleigh people know. 1t
not only educates blind folks but
trains dogs to lead them where they
wish to go. Did YOU know that?
Well, sometimes you have to 60 from
home to learn the news. The Lexing-
ton Dispatch tells the story as fol-
lows:
There was blind peddler in town
Friday. He visited a number of homes
with his pack and sold some mer-
chandise. A number of people bought
small articles from him and many gave
him money. He carried his goods in
an old trunk strapped to his back.
His dog, small brown and black dog
OF the collie family, was decidedly the
smartest thing in the way Of a dog
that has ever hit this town. As the
blind man came up Main street he was
saying to the dog: DRUG Store,
Drug Store, repeating the same thing
over and over The dog stopped di-
rectly in front of the Lexington Drug
Company's store The man was not
satisfied and ordered the dog to move
on. The dog went on after much
urging, his master repeating his
formula, over and over. Just in
front of the courthouse the little dog
stopped, whirled around so quickly
that he almost wrapped his chain
around the man and headed back for
the drug store, pulling hard. This
time he planted himself IN front OF the
door and refused to bulge. He knew
that he had reached the drug store.
I'm, in, spelled his master, and the
little dog scratched on the door. The
blind man said that the dog had been
trained at Raleigh to lead blind folks. !"
