way yesterday, some party or parties un-
known ran an alleged picture Of it in at
'top Of column pure reading matter"
as the advertising man says. If we looked
like that we'd have our face ironed over.
About eighteen months ago when
Brother Irl Hicks made up the weather for
September, 1908, he found that the moon
was in apogee'' on the Sd of the month.
OF course everything went galley west
when the moon got into apogee, place in
which no self-respecting moon ever trusts
itself, and the weather got squ-gee in
spite Of the government. We quote Bro.
Hicks first predictions:
The first storm period for September is CEN
trail on the 4th, extending from the I'd to the
1th. This period embraces moon in apogee on
the Sd, full on the 9th and on the equator on
the It'll. Signs of approaching change and
storms will appear about the Sd, weather will
grow warmer in the west, the barometer will
and rain will follow, growing in volume as they
pass eastward, and reaching eliminating crisis
from the 9TH to the It'll. Autumnal thunder
storms and squalls Will be natural in many sec
lions on the 9Th and 7th. Look for decided
change to cooler in the west as these storms
pass eastward, the cool, clearing weather fol-
lowing the storms to, the extreme east. The
change to fair and cooler will be retarded until
after the moon passes north of the equator on
the It'll. Otherwise 1t would eliminate about
the full moon the 18th.
It appears to us after a careful reading
Of the above that Bro. Hicks has fallen
down. We may be wrong. a:..5~-:- 49,.
AT any rate; he puts himself ion record
squarely for trouble around the 18th and
we will chronicle the prophecy here and
await results: .....5; . 4.-z 1850.

Country Club Notes.

The informal dance scheduled for next Monday evening, July 6, will be postponed one work. This by request in view of the fact that several dances have occur red at the club house within the last ten days. and the weather seems too hot for anything so strenuous as dancing even with such cool surroundings. A definite announcement will be made later of the informal evening announced for Monday. July 13.
 Work on the new golf links Is pro- gresslng very rapidly. The working drawings for the new club house are now in the hands of the building commit tee, who have the bids which have been received for the same now under advise ment. Ground will be broken for the new house within few days.
 Owing to the large number of new ap- plications for membership the executive committee at its last meeting voted to increase the initiation fee to 5000 effec- tive on and after August | the member ship to be limited to 400. From present indications the waiting list will now be the fate of good many who have de- layed sending in their applications. The New Country Club in It's beautiful new home is destined to become a strong and powerful factor in Birmingham social life.

of the civil war who were Bowdoin col- lege men.
 Ivy Is the junior day of the year, and most impressive were these exercises as the classmen, in caps and gowns, marched slowly in to the music taking their places as one man in three semi circular rows upon the platform. The programmes were in dark green and white. the junior colors and the ora tions and presentations were fine. Near us sat President William De Witt Hyde.
 After the exercises. while walking to- ward the chapel, we heard the juniors singing an ode and turned to see them planting their ivy along the side of Me- inorial Hall.
 ITO this pretty gray-stone building. the walls of which are done in exquisite Biblical paintings, we went to attend the Last Chapel of the seniors of 1903. The chapel was crowded to its utmost ca pacity with friends of the classes. The large pipe organ Is above, at one end, be- low which, on either side, are rows of seats occupied each morning by the stu dents of the four classes
 Near the end of the aisle two of the favored freshmen held red and white ribbons, senior coors, with immense bows at each side. and as a senior would enter the ribbons were let fall until he had passed
 After Bible reading by President Hyde and music by the choir of deep, rich voices, the organ pealed forth and to the tune of Auld Lang Syne' they sang their farewell to those dear chapel walls The class, marshalled by Edward Augustus Dunlay, Jr., of Brunswick, as they marched out slowly and bravely. standing, as 1t were, at the parting of the way, looking forward into a new ex- istence of sterner struggies and less peaceful pleasures, felt lSeenly the new, sad meaning of the words 'Auf Wieder- sehu I can hardly express how deeply felt and how much more tenderly must the fellows themselves have felt, they who had influenced and become part of each others lives during the four years of college life.
 Later we visited the magnificent new library, or Hubbard Hall, recently dedi- cated, and the Science Building the two largest, and caught glmpoes of Maine and Massachusetts Halls and other new fraternity halls.
 Another shore dinner at The Inn and at o'clock we were decked and adorned for the Ivy hop in Memorial hall All the states in the Union were represented The hall was a brilliant scene with its students and their dant- ily-gowned visitors.

saw them, much at his heart. 1t is ex-
tremely unfortunate that from the cir
cumstances OF the case, the author was
compelled to assume rather controver-
sial spirit. So much falsehood and false
printing In regard to Tryon and the
events of his administration has been in
dulged in by former writer's, the present
writer among the number, that the author
is driven whether he would or no, 10
ccntrovert them and to dlspel the clouds
of misin depreciation that have gathered
about that period
1t is a fortunate day for the State
when her writers throw aside the ira
ditional spirit which has compelled their
predecessors to damn without stinting
all those who fought on the other side"
during the gloomy years Of the revolu
ton, and assume the true hlstorl 2al
spirit of patient, impartial investigation,
which leads them to discover the truth
and proclaim it without fear or favor.
The reason why North Carolina has re-
ceived no more credit for her splendid
record than she has at the hands of the
historian, is that so much OF the So
called published history of the State,
will not bear the light of investigation.
1t has been dictated by feeling and not
by reason. SO when the impartial his
torian, who works without passion comes
to investigate the facts, he finds tnom
at variance with the published accounts
and throws all Of our histories aside
as worthless. They are not so by any
means. Many of them are valuable an.
priceless, and the State owes great
debt to those who have done the best
they could, even if it does fall short OF
what it needed.
But Mr.. Haywood's book is a distinct
departure from this way Of recording our
history. So charming ID the style, sc
clear his course of reasoning, so evident
is the impartial spirit Of the historian dis
