Resolutions Of Regret.

Chapel Hill, N. c., Sept. 17-At the
meeting of the faculty and students in
Gerard Hall here yesterday; as noted
in this mornings News and Observer,
the following resolutions touching the
death of President Mckinley were Of
fered and adopted:
Resolved, That the faculty and stu
dents of the University of North Caro-
lima. in public meeting with the citizens
of Chapel Hill, hereby place upon record
that deep sense of the loss (which has
fallen upon the United States of Amer
lea by reason of the cruel murder of the
President. They desire to express their
personal grief at the sudden death of the
first citizen of the republic. They offer
their respectful coincidence with those
who in the inner circle of his private
life have been so sorely bereaved by the
untimely taking off of the good man
William Mckinley, and especially to her
through whom he has illustrated the
most beautiful traits of human virtue
do they tender their professional sym
pathy. They here deprecate that condi.
ton of law which has permitted, in the
name of freedom of speech, the utter
ance of false teachings at variance with
all law and whose result has been the
corruption of weak and vicious minds
and the preparation of an irreparablt
and atrocious crime against God anC
government and man.
'They pray that the resultant sacrifice
of the chief ruler and servant of the
, people may awaken them to the danger
which has been allowed to grow up il
their midst, and may lead them to de-
wise and execute such constitutions
measures as may close the doors O
asylum against all enemies of the human
race and forever silence the first sug
gestions of anarchy or other like crime
against society and government"

Football at the A. and M.

The prospect for a good snappy foot
ball team at the A. and NJ Callege eis
the best there has been in the history
of the college. The student body seems
determined to have first-class team,
one that can compete successfully with
any college in the South. The old stud
ents have made strenuous efforts to Sc
cure a coach and backed by the students,
both old and new, they have secured one
of the best coaches in the South. Never
before has there been such enthusiasm
among the new men so early in the sea-
son. The University's old coach, Reynolds
has expressed it as his opinion that there
is some excellent material in the college
to pick from. Already some promising
games with other colleges have been Sc
cured

These flew up and struck the engineer
cab. wrecking it badly. Mr.. Enniss was
also struck by the rods and in the acci-
dent was thrown from the cab, being in
jured badly about the head and should
ers.
About ten O'Clock yesterday Mr.. P. c.
Enniss. a brother of Engineer Enn1ss,
received a telegram telling him of the
injury to his brother and saying that he
would be brought to Raleigh. He ar
rived about eleven o'clock on special
car and was under the influence of opiate
when taken from the coach, placed on a
litter and taken to Rex Hospital.

cared for by DR.. Suggs, of Kittrell, and
DR.. Harris, of Franklinton. who came
with him to Raleigh. AT the train he
was met by DR.. Rogers and at the hos
pital he and DR.. Royster are caring for
him.

examination was made, and it was found
that Mr.. Epniss was badly bruised about
the head and greatly shaken up, but no
limbs were broken. At late hour last
night he was still unconscious, and 1T is
not yet known as to how badly he may
be injured internally. His condition is
regarded as being so serious that II. is
stated that he has but a fighting chance
of life.
There is another even more
serious case at the hospital as
the result of a fall from a
moing train. This is Mr.. Ben King,
of Franklinton, who was brought to the
hospital Monday. The train had slowed
up for a siding at Franklinton Mr.. King
thought it had stopped, but it was moving

and his condition is regarded as being
almost without hope. He has now been
unconscious ever since three o'clock
Monday morning and the very worst is
feared.

when il comes to catching the car for
home no one seems to have any
rights but themselves, until they are
all gone. They do not hesitate To-

only course for gentleman with a
lady is to keep out of the way or
fight. Last night three or four OF
them made the usual break for the
best in sight and crowded every body
to the ropes One of them made a
rush for the corner of the bach

is experimenting the construction

that corner. The young man simply
ignored him, climbed over him and
proceeded to crowd. Gum neve,

Short in his accounts" is a
phrase that appears in the news
papers as regularly as the sun rises.
1t is brief but sad story OF human
weakness, and it would be a good
text for baccalaureate sermon.
Many a young man who starts out in
the world with good prospects and
good intentions is wrecked for lack
of correct ideas of business morals.
Too many trusted employees seem to
think that they have right to
speculate with funds entrusted to
them and to take chances with such
funds as if they were their own.
Sometimes their ventures are sue
cessful and nothing is ever heard of
them. But that does not make them
right The essence Of theft is in
them. Their success does not change
the moral nature Of the transactions.
Those persons who engage in them
ignore the divine command, Thou
shalt not steal. The man who will
put in jeopardy funds entrusted To
him, in order TO enrich himself, lacks
proper conception of right and
wrong. This lack is responsible for
a large proportion of the suicides
that are daily reported.
