During the past session the trustees
have wisely Incorporated the Departments
of Medicine and Pharmacy making them
integral parts of the University. Their
position before was anomalous and de-
tTacted from their highest development.
Vigorous action will now be taken to ad-
vance these and other professional de-
partments of the University.
The Y. NJ c. A. has also shown greater
activity. 1t has enjoyed a larger mem
bership than ever before, and has earn
estly pushed it's work conducting Bible
classes in the University and establish
ing Sunday schools in the surrounding
country. The building fund has been
placed on a business basis and largely
increased and for next year general sec
rotary will be employed, who shall espe-
cially have in charge the work among
the students. Better quarters will be
provided next year and soon the associa-
ton hopes to have it's own building-its
home, with all that this means for a
larger usefulness.
In athletics the University has done
well, losing only one football game and
three baseball, and achieving the real
ly wonderful success of winning the South
ern championship in the New Orleans
Track Meet. with a little group of five
men pitted against Some forty representa-
tives of other Southern universities. The
faculty have been especially pleased that
the class standing of these various teams
was probably the highest on record
The literary societies have also done a
good providing a number of public debates,
winning the Vanderbilt debate, support
ing creditable magazine, an annual and
a valuable course of public lectures They
have performed earnest, steady literary
work. j. d.

A Striking Cover by Manifold Parish

An Italian garden, with its formal ter
races flights of marble stairs, columned
temple and dark hilltop grove, forms the
theme of the striking decorative design
that the brilliant artist, Maxfeld Parrish,
has drawn for the June cover of The
Ladies' Home Journal. From the quaint.
stately young couple among the tall hol-
lyhocks in the foreground, fianked by two
huge jardinieries of large-leaved plants,
the eye slowly travels farther and far
Their back. UP the terraced hillslope, to
where the broken patches of "daffodil
sky show through shadowy tree trunks
beyond the distant row of white statues
and the antique temple browning the
height. The design is remarkable for the
effect of distance it conveys in so COM
paratively small a space.

Chapel Hill, N. c., June S.-If there is
a lovelier spot anywhere in America than
the University campus, / have not seen
it between Los Angeles, Cal, and Bath,
Maine. There is stately beauty in these
spreading oaks, under which so many of
the States first men have been trained
to greatness, that incites to contempla
tion and study. There is inspiration in
the portraits of statesmen from Davie to
Aycock there is more than inspiration
in the tablets in Memorial Hall bearing
the names of North Carolinians that were
not born to die who claim the University
as their mother. This incentive has al
ways been present to the youths who have
matriculated here, even in 1867 when Gov
ernor Swain rang the college bell for
the last time before Reconstruction. 1t
is a glowing inspiration and incentive to-
day when the University is on the high
tide of popular favor and usefulness.
The commencement just closed was
characterized by a spirit of cheerfulness,
confidence and hope that permeates the
student body, faculty, trustees, village,
visitors and friends. Until a few years
ago. when speaking of the golden age of
the phrase was before the war" That
phrase has now gone into innocuous de-
suetude The present day is the day of
the Unversitys greatest glory, largest
attendance and broadcast usefulness, and
this week saw plans perfected that will
make for continued growth and enlarged
usefulness.
The new president is measuring up to
the high expectations of his best friends
He has industry, common sense energy
kueaded with scholarship of high order
He has frankness, directness, sincerity
and to these he adds the enthusiasm that
expends itself in "labors more abundant. >
He is ambitious to make the University
great in the true standards of scholar
ship manliness and character, and TO see
it's instruction enjoyed every year by ar
ever increasing number Of the ambition;
and earnest youth of the State To make
| it worthy of the State, truly useful il

The mast session is one in which the
University has taken great step forward
making noteworthy progress in all di
i rections. In the line of material equip
4 ment the Improvement has been yer,

A NOTED NORTH CARoL1NIAN.
A New Book Which Makes Richard Henderson
The Centre Of Thrilling Story.

The Home and Grave Of Henderson.
'Boonesboro' by George w. Ranck is the
title of new book just out that will be
of especial interest to North Carolina
from the fact that it conspicuously port
trays the leading and distinguished part
she played in the permanent settlement of
Kentucky. The book furnishes a large
amount of pioneer history that has never
before been published and fills out and
completes as never before the highly en-
PERTAINING and often thrilling story OF
Judge Richard Henderson and the cele-
brated Pennsylvania Colony, which be-
gins with the outbreak of the Revolution.
The following are few lines taken at
random from the many pages of the vol
ume devoted to the enterprising North
Carolinian:
Judge Henderson, the ostensible head
Of the company, was one of the leading
lawyers OF the Colony of North Carolina,
and had recently been one of the Assoc
ciate Justices of it's Supreme court.
Though rather snowy. he was a man of
genuine ability and culture, was self-re-
liant and a worker, and, though notice.
able always for enterprise and ambition,
had surprised the Colony by the magni-
IuuS anu DOluuSSS VI MS piGSSuL NSutul &
All of the nine members of the company
were citizens OF North Carolina and
from over the Ridge"
About 1888 Judge Henderson retired to
his farm located in the fork of Anderson
Swamp and Big Nut Bush Creeks, aboNt
seven miles northeast of WILLIAMSBURG,
in Granville (now vance, county, North
Carolina. Much of the farm is now own
ed by connection, w. G. B. Snead, Es-
quire. Here Judge Henderson died.
January 30, 1885, in his fiftieth year, and
here he was buried in the family lot
about quarter of a mile southeast Of
his residence, and only few steps from
the burial-place of the adjoining Stamp
err farm. No stone or memorial Of any
kind marks the grave of one of the most
enlightened and entelprising characters
Of colonial North Carolina and pioneer
Kentucky, and no portrait of him exists
Fortunately his residence is preserved.
Some years after his death it was re-
moved to WILLIAMSBURG, and now, though
modernized. stands as a historic per-
sonal reminder of the head of the most
unique of the Colonial Governments OF
America.

THE PEOPLE WILL ACT.

The Southern Tobacco Journal has
full faith that the people will yet put
an end to trust aggressions 1t says:
Nine out Of ten men are inimical to
the trusts. The tenth man belongs to a
trust, or is connected with it peeuniar-
lily in some way. That is how the people
of the country are divided
The vast majority will not always suf-
small minority. The many known we'll
that all this talk of trusts being the
natural development of our industries is
rot They are fully aware that existing
conditions result from individual greed
and unscrupulousness. They see clearly
that competition for their labor and their
places is becoming eliminated; that the
chances for their advancement in life
are getting slim; that the avenues OF IN
dependent efforts are being closed that
their status as citizens of a republic Is
getting lower; that they are being bound
fast to the corporation wheels.
The many have already stood more than
we thought possible of them Their sub
mission to their oppressors has not been
creditable to them; but we are convinced
that they have had enough of it now, and
are prepared to act for the preservation
of their independence.
The proposed Antitrust League of
America will have their hearty support
because it offers the last peaceful means
of dealing with the trusts. The expert
ence had with the courts teach that little
may be expected from that source. 1t is
either this league, or the carrying OUT OF
frequently heard threats of force.
The Antitrust League of America will
be a realty soon, and, mark our word, 1t
will spread rapily. Haste is being made
slowly in the preliminary organization
that the preparations may be thorough
and success sure.

Greensboro Record
The Record had a talk with Mr.. A. NJ
Scales the other day about the recent
order abolishing the female department
of the A. and NJ. College for the color
ed race. He is the chairman of the board
of trustees and fully conversant with the
conditions existing. He says it is the
intention of the board to convert the
school into an institution similar to the
one at Raleigh, making it essentially an
agricultural and mechanical college, as
its name implies. 1t is also tehir inten-
ton to ask the proper authorities to con-
solidate at least four of the seven nor
NAL colleges for colored people into one,
so that efficient work can be done max
ing it an institution similar to the Nor
NAL College for the whites. The col
lege as it has been conducted has been
a success, he says, but it has been over
crowded and it was seen that some ac-
tion would soon be imperative and it was
deemed best to take action now There
is much in what he says provided the
recommendation of the board are follow
ed. There are too many of these normal
colleges for the colored girls and if feas-
ible they should all be combined and
made of some worth and standing Not
one man in a hundred knows there are
seven in the State. i.aae1. ~.

MR.. HOBSON ON SLAVERY.
Springfield Republican.
The hero Hobson of Alabama, was the
feature of the Memorial day exercises of
the Lake Orion (Mich) assembly, and,
among others things he said;
Il believe that slavery as it had exist
ed from the foundation of our nation was
a part of divine providence to redeem a
part of the benighted races of Africa.
And, my friends, believe me, for l have
seen the old darkeys and have listened
to their accounts of the times before the
war, that, on the whole, the condition
of slavery with the highly cultured people
of the South was indeed. a beneficial one.
Thus, instead of the fact of slavery being
a blot, I consider it in all it's elements
a credit to the South"
This is a good illustration of the way
history is being written by the imme-
date spirit of the time. Mr.. Hobson
talks as lots of others are talking North
and South, and many more are acting.
If what is said is true, then the North
squandered SO, 900 900, 900 or more of money
and half a million lives to interfere with
the plans of providence, and We are now
trying to rectify the fearful blunder by
executing somewhat similar plans of
providence in relation to other inferior
races.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION THE
REMEDY.

Governor Aycock does well to decline to
take the part of the railroads in the
strike by refusing to appoint policemen
to protect railroad property. The law
was not passed for the purpose of making
the State take sides with the employing
railroad in case of a strike, but for a
very different purpose. 1t found it's origin
in a desire to give railroads protection
in cases where large excursions visited
the shops, or when like large bodies
made it proper to have additional police
protection. But it never was intended to
be used to give railroads more power in
the protection of their property than in
dividuals enjoy.
The strikers have shown themselves
peaceable and law abiding, and the rail
road property is in no danger. II the
strikers should seek to carry their end
by any lawless method-(a thing they
will not do)--then it would be the duty of
the Governor to compel obedience to the
law. But in the absence of any such in
tention, it would be grievous wrong for
the authorities to take any hand in the
peaceable conflict between the strikers
and the railroads.
There ought to a compulsory arbitra-
ton law to prevent the recurrence of
strikes or the necessity for them. The
people have rights superior to the ma
.chinists or the owners OF the railroads
and these rights ought to be asserted
through a legal compulsory arbitration.

We have come to a day of better un-
Outstanding in the great work for educa-
tion in North Carolina. The day has
passed of friction, of jealousies, of ungen-
erous rivalries, of antagonism between
men and institutions striving to secure
the light of knowledge in a commonwealth
cropping in the dimness of ignorance.
Instead of hearing any contest over So
called State-aid today we hear only mu-
tual congratulations and rejoicing that
the University is getting a larger appro-
priation than at an time in it's history
and is thereby enabled to do better work );
Wake Forest is increasing it's endowment
and erecting new buildings to accommo-
date its increasing student body; Trinity
has secured an endowment and equip
ment that puts it among the first Method
list colleges; Davidson, with it's new
president, greets the Twentieth Century
stronger than ever; Elon, the youngest
of the colleges is growing in power and
in usefulness; the A. and NJ College,
in touch with the industrial and agricul-
tural progress of the State, is meeting
the expectations of its founders and
doing the work for which it was created.
All of them show increased enrolment
and most of them need to erect larger
creasing number of students who seek
their walls The same is true of the
dozen or more strong and useful colleges
devoted to the education of women.

THE NEW EDUCATIONAL
ERA OF GOOD FEELING

ing to say that the day had come when the
University, Trinity, Wake Forest, David
son, Elon, the A. and NJ. and all the other
institutions, working each in its special
place and doing its own work in its own
way, was an integral part of the great ed
ucational system of the State of North
Carolina, working with cooperation and
doing work for the State as we'll as for
the church
The harvest of boys and young men in
North Carolina wanting and needing the
training of higher education is in4eed
great, and, compared with the harvest,
the laborers are few 1t behooves the
colleges, therefore, to go forward in the
spirit of fraternity which promises so
much to bring the blessings of education
within the reach of thousands instead of
hundreds. If he is a benefactor who
makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before, now much more is he
a benefactor TO his race who puts the
blessing of college education within the
reach of two boys where last year it was
enjoyed only by one! All endowment, all
equipment, buildings are valuable only as
they afford a better chance for educa-
ton. The better facilities which the State
and generous philanthropists have pro-
vided is opening the door of opportunity
of many who had feared it was bolted
and barred to them. The man who opens
that door to one ambitious youth has done
a deed that shall bless him while he L. 5

Because Swanson is backed by Martin
and Lee has always believed that the
corporations furnished money which en-.
abled Martin to defeat him for the
