THE UNIVERSITY
CLASH SEEMS PROBABLE
TROUBLE rs PREDICTED AT
SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY AT
NIGHT.

The sophomore party planned for
Tomorrow night was discussed at a
freshman class meeting to-day, and,
judging from the speeches, the occa-
sion will be marked by a class clash.
Until this morning all was serene
and battle-scarred upper classmen
wear mourning over the decay of class
spirit at the university
The change was brought about by a
Well-meant attempt on the part of the
freshman president to promote har-
mony. A note sent by him to the.
sophomore president assuring the lat
ter official that the sophomore dance
would be marred by no hostile demon
stration on the part of the freshmen,
instead Of placating the '''sophs,"
aroused their wrath. They regarded
freshman comment or consent as a
piece Of imDertinence
In consequence, relations are de-
cidedly strained and trouble seems not
unlikely.
An investigation at: the zoological
laboratory reveals the fact that stu
dents of zoology use in a year about
four dozen cats and dogs and several
hundred dozen frogs in dissection and
vivisection. The figures the indefinite,

keep an exact record

gents to investigate sthe charge that
Professor Frank l.. McVey of the
economics department had been guilty
of wilful misrepresentation in his ar
ticles upon the cities Of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, published in the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, and dismiss him
from the faculty if proved guilty, has
caused considerable comment at the
university, as Professor McVey is
popular with the student body.
Professor McVey at first refused to
make any statement, but said later:
Since the matter has been taken to
the regents, I shall present a full
| statement to them. If the letter of
! the publishers generating me from
| blame for their blunder is not sufft-
| cient, further comment from me will
| not help the matter.

Meeting Matters Discussed.
w. G. Pearce at the meeting yes
terday afternoon referred to the large
number Of church members present as
the saddest thing in connection with
the Iroquois theater disaster. The
speaker thought the time opportune
to strike a. blow in the right direction
in regard to theater-going. In the
discussion on organization John Or
chard, general secretary of North Da-
kota. gave considerable attention to
the qualifications Of officers: Those
discussing the topic. found little use
for the ornamental superintendent,
one speaker declaring that a strong
minded man willing to work, even tho
he looked like a janitor as to clothes,
was preferable. How to Plan and Hold
a Successful County Convention pre-
scented by B. F. Mirchell, brought out
g. brisk discussion Of the best way to
attract residents Of the convention
towns to such meetings.
The speakers last night were the In

STATE GOOD ROADS
ASSOCIATION TO MEET.
President +. II. Hayatt Appeals for a Full
Attendance at the Approaching Meet
ing January 10Th.
The State


l have asked the cities and towns
Of the State to send representative
to meet with the county officials in
our State good roads association
which meets here on Tuesday, + .
10Th inst, at II o'clock iu .n-
county court house. In case
some of them have not received
the invitation I hope they will take
this article as such. q
l attn now satisfied that we will
have the largest attendance that
has ever been held in the State on
the good roads question. / am re-
ceiving letters by the dozen from
almost every section of the State
saying that their county and town
will be represented by leading busi-
ness Ell. Iu some instances the
entire board Of county commissions
ers will be here, and | do wish that
each and every county would send
their full board Of commissioners as
this question Of gOOQ roads is Of
such vital Importance TO the future
prosperity Of our country ] ~Would
that we could get every section Of
the country aroused on the subject.
The world has its eye turned to-
wards the south, as it is generally
conceded that the south is one of
the most desirable sections of the
country to live in, and has the
brightest future of any section Of
the country. Farming lands for
the last year or two have increased
III value from rs to SO per cent.
The high priced cotton has come to
stay tor some time, capital seeking (
investment is drifting this way.
We can readily see that it behooves
us as farmers, as merchants, as
manufacturers and every other line
OF business to beStir ourselves and
be doing, SO that we may be able to
meet the demand, and as for South
Carolina l know Of no State, taking
everything into consideration, that
has a brighter future, I know
whereof | speak as my business
puts me in touch with every sec
ton Of the State and | am satisfied
that, taking our State as whole,
1t has never been more prosperous.
In order to have free rural delivery
VIC will have to have better roads
to get them, and to retain them
as there are sections of the State
now in which the government
would establish free rural delivery
but that the roads are not in COT
dition TO be used
Mr. Editor, there is so much to
be said along this line that it would
be utterly impossible for me TO 90
into oil the details and advantages
of good roads i'll Que article, so l
will close by saying that the general
public is becoming interested in road
building and for the year 1904 it
will make the greatest progress in
the history Of this State.
Hoping and believing that the
convention to be held in this city on
the 10Th will be more interesting
and beneficial than any other pre-
vious gathering Of it's kind, am,
Yours very respectfully,
