The Xirden Miners Win

C%arlinville, Ills, November 12.-The
differences between the C~hicago-Vir-
den Coal Company at Virden and Au-
burn and the striking miners have
been settled and the shafts will soon
be in operation. The company agreed

copied the offer of the miners that they
would take it down and charge the
company nothing for the labor.

linville, Ills, says:
Adjutant General Reese, of Spring
field, today notified Sheriff Davenport

pany and the miners have been settled,
troops are no longer needed.

day until Monday. Great pressure
is being brought to bear by influential
persons tina nothing shall result from

Der of the jury admitted today that

clared that it was the intention of the
grand jury not to be affected by any

Great Interest in the ElectiOn-Athletic

ing for a Tour

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Chapel Hill, N. c., November 10.
The election was watched with great
interest by the students here n the
result gives nue., satisfaction to a
large number.
The returns were taken at the tile
graph office and a large crowd was
down till a late hour listening to them.
Much interest was shown in the New
York state election and great diSap-
pointment is expressed at VanWyck's
defeat, rs he was a student of this
university some years 6 and is now
an alumnus.
The foot ball team had it's last prac-
tice yesterday afternoon before start
ing on it's southern trip. The practice
was very sharp n lively and much
applause was given, for the very fine
playing Of the varsity. This afternoon
the team starts for Georgia where on
Saturday they play the university Of
Georgia and on Monday in Alabama
the Alabama Polytechnic institute.
The Georgians are sure Of victory
and Carolina is just as determined
that the victory shall perch on the
White and Blue banner. Mondays
Thanksgiving game in Richmond
against the university of Virginia.
The gymnasium has recently had
many new additions 10 it. The game of
basket ball has been introduced and
many of the boys are learning to play
under the direction of Gymnasium In
structor Calder. Punching bags have
also been added.
The North Carolina Rolling EXPOSE
ton car "City of Charlotte" is adver-
tised to be here next Saturday, the
18th.
The dramatic club holds regular re-
hearsals. They are practicing on two
plays which will be presented in the
eastern part of the state, Wilmington
included, during the Christmas holi-
days.
The literary societies have appoint
ed committees to see if nnual de-
bates cannot be arranged between h
university and Vanderbilt university of
Tennessee. 1t is hoped that this de-
bate can be arranged, as it would tend
to increase interest in literary work.
Already an annual debate takes place
between Georgia and this university
and debates between the classes take
place s~emi-annually.
The Presbyterian church in the viii
lage is to be improved, interior and ex-
terror, and it will be very attractive
when finished.
