IT'S LARGEST GRADUATING CLASS.
More Students at Wake Forest Than
Ever Before in it's History

Wake Forest, n. c., Oct. 3.-(SpeciaD
The wind of the evening of the 2Sth
was furious, but wrought no serious
damage here.
The registration Gifts already in
advance Of the total registration of the
last fall term. There are Al applicants
for college degrees next May. That
is the largest number of prospective
graduates in the history of the college.
The Senior class has organized with
Mr.. Conrad Watkins, of Winston, as
presidents; Mr.. William Joyner of
Franklinton, vice-president, and Mr.
IT, A. Robinson, of Virginia, secretary.
The French classic edited by Profes-
sors Sledd and Gorrell for CHM d Co.,
is published and is winning high COM
mendation. The distinguished scholar,
Prof. Joynes, of South Carolina, con-
graduates the publishers upon the
scholarship and taste of the book.
DR. w. r. Gwaltney has spent the
present week preaching in a special
meeting at Wakefield.
An assistant professor of Latin has
arrived at the home of Prof. Carlyle,
but his extreme youth is deemed in
compatible with his immediate as
sumption of PROFESSIONAL functions.
Messrs w. c. Powell and Robert Z.
Royal, formerly of Wake Forest,
but now of Savannah, have donated
to the trustees of the Wake Forest
Academy a half-acre lot for the erection
of school building. A movement is
on foot to begin the building in the
near future Prof. Carey Parker, of the
Academy, is delighting his patrons.
The fortnightly meeting of the
Literary Circle was held last night at
Dr. Gwaltney's residence, the subject
being Wordsworth's French expert
ence as detailed in his prelude"

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

Chapel Hill, n. c., Oct. 3.-(SpecIal)
The first months work in THE Uni
versity ended yesterday and it is safe
to saw that the first months work has
been better than that of any first
month of any session in many years.
The great majority of the Varsity stu
dents are here for work and those few,
if any, who might be here for any other
purpose have been forced to study by
the new rule requiring a student TO
pass on at least six hours work of each
week, to be admitted during the next
term.
Every department of the University,
perhaps has received more public mem
ton than the English department, and
it is without doubt doing as great a
work as any branch of the great State
institution.
As an example of this it may be we'll
to state that the EARLY English Text
Society of Tendon has forwarded TO
the Professor of English Language and
Literature, DIR. Thos. Hume, of the
University, several new publications of
great value as prizes for his depart
ment of Old English or Old Anglo-Sax-
on. This department of study has been
steadily rising into the Importance it
merits. This means the scientific COM
parative method of investigating our
own language. No greater compliment
has been paid any department of any
institution of learning in the South
than this by the London Text Society.
1t plainly shows how the English de-
partment under DIR. Hume has grown
in reputation.
There ure now about thirty State
papers which have representatives on
the Hill, and about ten papers from
out of North Carolina. 1t is highly
probable that a Press Club will be or
ganized among the student correspon-
dents.
The German Club has decided to
have it's Fall German on the might of
Monday the 18th, after the University
Day football game. The Senior cleo
tion win take place next week.
A. great number of the students of
The University intend attending the
State Fair on the day which is to be
announced later as University Day.

CONCERT AT OXFORD.

Oxford, n. c., Oct. 3.-(Special1 a
most enjoyable concert was given on
Friday evening by the singing class of
the Oxford Orphan Asylum, in the
Asylum chapel.
The class, which is composed of girls
and boys from the institution, is well
known throughout the State, and en-
joys most envia5ble reputation.
The children have good voices and
show excellent training, and the large
audience present showed its apprecia-
tion by frequent encores and bursts OF
applause.
The admission fee was a book, the
object being to add to the library of
the institution. A number of the
choicest books were handed in, and
some were sent by friends who were
unable to attend.
Up to the present time the library
has been qubte small, many OF the
larger children having read every book
in it.
A contribution of a single book from
every person interested in this work
would be greatly appreciated.

GARD FROM MR.. N. B. BRoUGHroN.

To the Editor: / was in the western
part of the State when the Wake coun-
tv Democratic convention did me the
honor to nominate me for one of the
seats in the House of Representatives
of the next Legislature. 1t was against
my wishes or inclination and my first
impulse was to decline; but as | have
considered the interests involved in the
campaign, I feel impelled, under a
sense of duty to the people, to yield
to their demand. Tt is against my
personal interests to make the canvass,
for my business demands my whole
time; it is against my desire because
I have avoided political preferment.
But duty calls and in this hour,
fraught with such consequences, l con-
not refuse. My past record is before
the people of this native county. In
all my conduct I have. tried to be true
to them. If elected to the Legislature
it will be my highest endeavor to serve
all classes and conditions to the best
of my ability.
Having entered the contest, [ call
upon my friends throughout the coun-
ty to give our ticket their hearty sup
port and influence. The gentlemen
associated with me on the county
ticket are men of the highest integ-
rity and worthy of the fullest conf
dence.

IN THE TWILIGHT.

Over the dusky verge
OF the quiet sea,
Slowly / watch emerge
The silver rim
OF the crescent moon; pale, dim,
The soft stars, one by one,
With holy g1ee
Steal out and light their lamps;
For day is done.
The tempests are asleep:
Only the balm
of some cool evening wind
Ruf1es the calm;
The listening ear OF night
Can catch no sound
Save when, in slumber bound,
Earth turns and signs:
Peace rules the deep.
Aye, peacei across
Star~paven sky
The night-queen's silver bark
Goes gliding by:
With murmuring faint, the streams
browse as they flow
In their hid channels; slow
housekeeping dews
Slide from the heavens, like CLEANS
OF loNeIborn dreams.
Frail breaths of violet,
OF rose fair,
Shy hints of mignonette,
Rise through the air
From unseen gardens, there
Beneath my feet.
All mel how at their spell
Swift fancies risei
What touching sympathies,
What golden memories,
And thoughts how SWEET.
