DURHAM, N. c., Jan. 16.-Trinity col.
lege has opened after the holidays with
bright prospects for a successful term.
About 25 new boys have entered. The
freshman class is one of the largest in

ness becoming students.
The Historical society held its regular
monthly meeting on the evening OF the
10th. An interesting paper was read by
T. c. Hoyle on the Constitutional His.
tory Of North Carolina" DR.. Crowell
also gave talk of very instructive
character on the old laws OF our State.
and the state of our society and charac-
ter Of the people as revealed in the study
OF those laws.
This society is doing much in the study
OF State history. and all information as
to the history Of any place or section is
gladly received and due credit given.
Does not Ashevilles pride prompt her to
give us some Of her history?
A Magazine Boom" has recently been
opened and it is hoped that all students
will use it in preparing work for the
literary societies, as its object is to place
information on variety Of subjects
within access OF all. The idea is a good
one.
The football rage has subsidized and
tennis has ceased, and nothing now
occurs to interrupt the even tenor of our
ways. May this quiet continue until
baseball comes in.

pair OF minutes the rabbits had met the
enemy and were his'n. Maj. Struggled
got ham" for his share of the booty.
The funniest part of it was that the

Accident To Milt. Blank ensllip
Al The Carshed,

Milt. Blankenship, an extra" on the
Asheville street railroad, had a narrow
escape from death at the carshed early
this morning. Blankenship and several
workmcn were engaged making repairs
on a car that stood upon track in the
shed, Blankenship sitting under the car
and astride the rail. Suddenly the current
was turned on and the car started.
Blankenship was thrown down and
dragged short distance, when the
trolley became detached and the car
stopped.
When Blankenship was taken from his
dangerous position Drs. w. p. Whit
tington and ]. A. Burroughs were called,
and it was found that his shoulder and
collar bone were dislocated. and he was
otherwise bruised. He was taken to the
Mission hospital. His injuries are not
dangerous ones.
1t is supposed that the trolley of the
car had not been tied down as carefully
as it should have been, and that becom-
ing loosened it had come in contact with
the wire.
