UNIVERSITIES FIRST GAME.
Beats Lafayette After Close Contest at
Chapel Hill.

The Lafayette baseball team has re-
turned North after playing two games
in North Carolina-the University and
Trinity College. The game with Trinity
was played Wednesday afternoon, and
the Methodist boys lost to the Pennsyl-
vanians by series of errors and wild
throwing. The score stood to 4. The
Lafayette men were pleased with their
stay in North Carolina and express the
hope that they may return again next
season.
At chapel Hill the Lafayette's didn'
fare so we'll The game was an interest
ing and exciting one, the University de-
feating Lafayette by score of to ).
The battery for the winning team was
Wilcox and Graves, to whose good work
is due a large part of the victory. Willis
and Ernst pitched and caught for the
losers.
From the time that the first ball was
| thrown across the plate until the last
! man was declared safe at home the game
was in doubt, and the victors Thought
| more than once that it had gone against

was a great deal better than was expect

| more practice these two teams are ex-
/ pected to give the winners of the cham

/ is the first game of the season.

THE NEW MASTER MECHANIC.
Mr.. Lee Making Thinks Hum Again in the
s. A. L. Shops.

On March 9th there was a change in the
management of the mechanical depart
ment of the Seaboard Air Line shops in
Raleigh Mr.. G. w. Lee taking charge as
master mechanic here. Mr. Lee comes
to the Seaboard from the Southern, hav-
ing been with that road for about TWEEN
ty-eight years, and is a thoroughly ex
perienced and capable gentleman. When
he left the service of the Southern, his
friends in the mechanical and motive
power departments at Greensboro pre-
scented him with a valuable and hand
some watch as a testimonial of the es-
TEEN in which they held him.
Mr.. Lee began with the Southern as an
apprentice in the machine shops, but rose
successfully to journeyman machinist,
then locomotive engineer and SO on to
master mechanic. During this service he
has lived at Richmond, Manchester. DAN
vile, Salisbury and Greensboro. With the
Seaboard Air Line he is now master
mechanic of the second division, located
at Raleigh.
Mr.. Lee has rearranged the forces at
the shops here, and says he finds that
with proper instruction he will be able
TO use men from Raleigh and will not
have to go out of the State TO get the
best help. Under his management there
are 200 men. AS foreman of the machine
shops he has appointed Mr. r. H. kehoe,
Of Raleigh, who was a machinist in the
shop; as foreman of the blacksmith shop
he has engaged Mr. Chas. Piper, who comes
from the shops of the Southern at Spen-
Ger, succeeding Foreman Hunter, who re-
signed AS engine house foreman Mr..
4. S. Inge, formerly OF Columbia, S. c.,
succeeds Mr.. G.. f. Gill, who resigned to
take a place as engineer on the road.
A walk through the various depart
ments OF the Seaboard Air Line shops
here shows things to be moving along in
excellent shape, and good work being
done Mr.. Lee has taken hold of things
with a determination TO make the work
on his division second to none.

Schools of That County Taking Advantage of
the Library Law.

BERTHE county is setting a fine example
to the other counties of the State by the
manner in which it is taking advantage
of the Public School Library Act, passed
by the recent Legislature.
Among the first, if not the very first, to
take advantage of the act were the
patrons of Cobb's school house in BERTHE
county. This was done at the instance,
and with the help of Mr. Francis d.
Winston. who was a strong advocate OF
the act while it was pending in the
Legislature. This was on March 18th.
The next day the patrons of the John
Cooper School met and raised the neces-
sary funds for library for that
school. This was school No. 2 in
BERTHE to take advantage of a chance for
library. On the goth, three days later.
the patrons OF Green's Cross Road School
went to work and raised the required
amount This leaves only three more
schools in the county that can take adj
vantage of the chance this year. and

INTERVENTION IN SOUTH AMERICA.

Secretary Hays message to Colombia and
Venezuela. reported yesterday in our special
dispatches from Washington, should serve
triple purpose. 1t should. and probably Will.
prevent those two countries from drifting into
a causeless and ruinous II should serve
as an effective rebuke to those thoughtless or
malicious mischief makers in this country who
have been clamOring for fOrcible Intervention
by this country under the provisions Of the
Monroe Doctrine" Query: Why not under
the Binomial Theorem0 And II should reas-
sure those in foreign lands who, msled by our
domestic mischief makers. have looked to see
this country enter upon a career of arbitrary
aggression and conquest against its southern
neighbors. There is not hint in the message
OF anything but impartial friendliness toward
the two countries and respect for their indepen-
dent sovereignty and the just maintenance of
treaty rights and obligations. There is no
brandishing OF the Monroe Doctrine because
the Monroe Doctrine is not at all involved in
the case There is a proper expression of hope
that no breach Of peace will occur There is
also proper expression of readiness TO offer
the friendly aid of this country for the settle
ment of disputes, provided both dlsputants
desire it. And there is an equally proper express
sion OF determination to maintain treaty stipu-
latlons.
The warning to Venezuela which is believed
TO have had some restraining influence upon that
country. is contained in the last named express
sion IL is based not upon the Monroe Doctrine,
which is not pertinent 10 the case, but upon the
treaty Of 1916 with New-Granada which Is now
operative upon Colombia. That treaty (Article
3d. Section II declares that 1.-The United States
guarantee positively and eficaciously TO New
"Granada the perfect neutrality of the before
mentioned isthmus" Panama) "and the
United States also guarantee. In the same
manner, the rights of sovereignty and prop
"erty which New-Granada has and possesses
''over the said territory" For "New-Granada"
read Colombia" and we have the text which
forms the basis Of Secretary Hays timely and
judicious warning TO Venezuela. That guaran-
tee OF perfect neutrality is not guarantee
against change of government In Colombia by
domestic revolution, for the treaty is binding
upon that country as a whole and not upon
some one particular government of IT, Were
the present government oyerthrown and a new
one established by revolutonsts, the treaty
would not lapse. but would continue in fun
validity upon the new government. But Il Is
a guarantee that the Colombian nation, under
Whatever government. shall have undisturbed
possession Of the Isthmus OF Panama. and AS
such IL is an unmistakable warning, 10 yenez-
uela and to every other country in the world.
not 10 take any action against Colombia which
would menace her possession and control of
that territory. II is evident that a foreign
invasion Of Colombia for the purpose Of sub
verting her independence and forcing her into
