SOME GLIMPSES OF COLLEGE LIFE
A Little World Wherein One Sees Many Phases of
Life. Opportunities Offered Along Various
Lines of EndeavOr.

Of friendship formed in the intercourse
between fraternity mates in college last
until death There is no stronger bond
of friendship. These fraternities are not
local orders. but are national organi2a-
tions. Fraternity mates are able to re-
cognize each other in strange places and
to render aid, or to promote the pleasure
of each other just as the fraternal orders
of Masons and others do.
The last but not least feature of col
lege life which / will discuss in this ar
ticle is the Athletic feature. There is a
mistaken idea prevalent among people
who have never been to college and who
do not know. that member of the foot
ball team or the base ball team, is
necessarily not as successful in his
studies as the men who devote all their
time to their books This opinion can
be shown not to be based on fact. 1t is
q known fact that exercise is essential
to the health of a body. That there
must be a strong body for a strong mind.
That a student can study harder and can
take in more when he takes some system
of exercise, than if he does not. Is it
logical to develop one part o. the body
and not the other. OF course all athletes
are not exceptionally intellectual but
still I venture to say that they are moro
so than they would be if they did not
exercise. There are different ways and
modes in a COLLEGE for a student to de-
velop his body. The foot ball team re-
quires the larger men, the base ball team
requires the active men, the tennis clubs
are made up of men who for some rea-
son dc not like foot ball or baseball, the
track team develops the exceptionally
good athletics, and the gymnasium with
it's course of instruction is open to the
whole student body. Those in authority
of every institution of learning recognize
the necessity of physical training and
do all they can to promote athletics
among the students. There is a friendly
rivalry existing between the various
schools and colleges as to which can ex-
eel ir the different branches of athletics.
This is the incentive which makes tho
individual man work hard to represent
his college on the team which plays the
match games with rival institutions
Among students it is considered a sTeat
honor to represent the college on tie
athletic tear g. There is one fact which
every enc will agree is favorable to ath-
letics. 1t is this: TO be a good athlete
you must not be dissipated; you cannot
smoke cigarettes, nor partake of alco-
hOlic stimulants, must keep regular
hours, and must observe strictly the
sanitary rules.

have been graded and macadamized,
at cost ranging from $4,000 to
$3. 500 per mile. The county is now
expending annually something more
than $40, 900 on the improvement of
it's highways; and the proposition
that this expediture is the best pay
ing investment the county could pos
sibly make is accepted by every class
of citizens, and even by the convicts
themselves, who seem to feel a genu-
inc pride in the excellent highways
they are building"
1t will be noted that in the above
Prof. Holmes deals with the condi-
tions in force in 1891, that being the
year in which his article was first
prepared. Since that time many miles
new road have been built in Mecklen-
burg county and the work goes
steadily ON. 1t is safe to say that mo
money that this county ever spent
has brought such manifold and far
reaching returns as that put upon
her permanent roadways, and Ger
tainly none has made for her such a
name for progressiveness in the coun-
try at large. There is much legisIa-
tion in North Carolina over the mat
ter of improved highways, but what
is really needed is the roads them
selves. Paraphrazing what a certain
prominent man once said, the way to
build good roads is to build them.

It is great affection for woman to
have her face dishgured by pimples or
any form of eruptive disease. 1t makes
her morbid and sensitive, and robs her
of social enjoyment. Disfguring erup-
tions are caused by impure blood, and
are entirely cured by the great blood
purifying medicine-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t removes from the
blood the poisonous impurities which
cause disease. 1t perfectly and perman-
emily cures scrofulous sores, eczema,
tetter, boils, piniples and other eruptive
diseases which are caused by the blood's
impurity. 1t increases the action of
the blcod-making glands and thus in
creases the supply of pure rich blood.

Let the Circus Alone.
Charlotte Observer.

The Washington Gazette-Messen-
ger says. that Gin the name Of the
people residing in the rural districts
we enter our protest against the pas
sage of that part of the revenue bill
that taxes circuses SO high that it
will prevent them from visiting the
State" and warns the members from
it's county in the following languages:
''As far as we are concerned we
propose to watch the vote of Repre-
sentatives Hooker and Sugg, and
should they cast their ballots in favor
of depriving the people of the rural
districts of the opportunity OF at
tending the circus and taking the
children to see the animals, we,
without reservation, announce that
we are 'agin 'em' should they at any
time seek reelection. The tax is
nothing less than an outrage for
which there is no excuse, and it is in
direct opposition to the wishes OF
the people"
We are heartily in sympathy with
our contemporary in it's efforts to
preserve the circus for the amuse-
ment of the people. It's coming is
the one bright event in the entire
year for a great many OF them, and
we have about as little sympathy
with a law which overtaxes circuses
so that they will keep out of the
State, as with q prohibitory tariff
tax.

A WOman's Presence of Hind.

Some people have an idea that wo-

Mrs. J. T. Gibbs, wife of the we'll
known Presiding Elder of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, who lives here,
show that this current belief is Ger
tainly not so we'll founded, SO far as
she is concerned. About 5 O'Clock
the other morning she heard noise
in the rear part OF her home and
went to a door to investigate. She
found part of the house and the
kitchen in flames. The first thing to
do was to get out the little children;
this done she sent a 14-year-old son
to turn in fire alarm from the near
est box, which he did Immediately
and the firemen were wonderfully
prompt in respoding to the call. Mrs.
Gibbs next step was to run in her
husbands room, he being out oi
town, and to save, by taking them
from his desk, first his insurance pol
icies. second the notes of his sermons,
and third loaded revolver, which
was kept for the benefit of possible
burglars Having'carried these to a
neighbor's house, she returned and
saved q new silk dress. Could any
man have beaten this in a display d
presence of mind? Let any one an

the lines of least resistance. They
only ask that their neighbors profit
by their sad lesson of the reconstruc.
tion period, miscalled, as they them
selves have profited by the wreck
and wrath of those preceding four
years of open hostilities.
1t is dull man who will not recoe-
nize the force of times argument

lative evidence of his error, or who
refuses to see the logic OF a point

The South has her hand open to
Senator Hoar. What he said was
not only kindly and graceful, but it
is testimony of a grand truth not
unmixed with magnanimity. The
Southern type of craftsmanship is
well known to the discerning and
scholarly statesman from the Old
Bay State. He has witnessed the
deadly and deadening influence of
Mammon and commercialism upon
the membership of the once great
body in which he sits, and as he has
beheld the spread of the uuspeakable
evil East and West, through State
after State, he cannot conceal an
honest admiration for the one section
CT our common country which says
to the insidious usurper: "Thus far
shalt thou go and no farther''
The personnel of the Southern dele
cation in Congress will bear out this
good opinion-this extraordinary
comment-of Senator Hoar. This is
a glory that still remains to the
South through all her poverty and
vicissitudes, and though this Spartan
guard at Washington represent a
minority in governing power, it is
something for the republic at large
and for those who feel themselves
still freemen therein, to have the
South's uncorruptible and uncon-
querable watchers in the pass at
Thermoplae.
The people of the South will heart
lily reciprOcate such beautiful senti-
ments as those to which the veteran
Massachusetts Senator has honestly
given utterance. He spoke from
stress OF conscience and because he
loves truth for truths sake after the
labor of conviction.
God grant that the foolish bitter
ness which has long outlived the
logic of events is at last a part of
dull oblivion.

A Word to
Nursing
Mothers

1t is a we'll known clinical fact
that babies who depend wholly on
mothers milk never have cholera,
and are exempt from two-thirds
the ailments which afflict infants.
Some inkling to this has checked
the resort to artificial foods and
begun to make It good form for
every mother to nurse her own
baby - when she can.
Some try it, and grow weak and
sick under the strain. With
others the milk flow is insufficient,
and the poor baby is at last given
over to the tender mercies of the
milkman with his corn fodder, and
stale slops, and worse.
If any mother within ten miles
of our store reads this, we want to
give them hint. Try Vinol.
There are many mothers who have
found that it enabled them to take
more nourishment. restored their
strength, and made baby healthy,
hearty, and happy.
Vinol not only supports the
mothers strength but transmits
to the babe the foundation for
healthy childhood.
Vinol contains no dangerous
drugs. We are willing to tell you
just what is in it and give you the
money back if it don't help you.
