Mr.. D. Nj. Sadler, General Man
ager of the Southern Express Com

kindly offered to transport for the
University, free of charge, articles

WINSTON, N. c., Sept. 80.
Winston is rejoicing tonight over
the victory won by her "Blue Bali
Sluggers" this afternoon. They
won the deciding game from Rich
mond for the championship Of the
South by a score of nineteen to
seven. They piled up six runs on
Richmond in the first inning, eight
in the second, two in the third and
three in the ninth. Richmond put
in three pitchers during the game,
but they were not in it. Winston's
lett-handed wizard, A. McGann,
held them down with a sore arm for
seven innings and his brother shut
them out in the two last. It is a
great victory for Winston.

The President Of the University Has
Turned Carpenter.
Yesterday the CHRONICLE took a
turn through the Exposition build
ing to see how the work was pro-
crossing; carpenters, decorators and
exhibitors were busy. In about the
centre Of the building we found
President Winston with claw
hammer, busy at work acting as
carpenter and fixing up the space
set apart for the exhibit of the Uni :
versi,y. We had seen college pro-
fessors in claw hammer suits, but it
was the first college president We
had ever seen with a claw hammer,
in bis shirt sleeves, doing the work
of carpenter. Looking up toward
tie window, standing on ladder,
in his shirt sleeves, hammer
in hand was Mr.. Hunt Harris,
assistant professor IN chemistry at
the University. They are making
nice place of The University's
headquarters and they are showing
that scholarship and carpentry are
not incompatible. There will be
seen here portraits of the founder of
the University-Wm. r. Davie;
the founder of the public school sys-
tem-Archibald d: Murphy, and
other great lights of the University.

Madame de Bcnnemaine has been

injunction against the Philadelphia

from turning off the gas at four Of
Carnegie's plants and asking dam.
ages for the failure to keep up the
supply. Mr.. Westinghouse comes
back at the Carnegie people with q
suit for unpaid gas bills amounting
to $5SO,00O. The result of this
fight will be to force the gas com

not been cutting off iron mill
