 Coach Harvard.
 Boston, Feb 2S-PrOfessor Coolidge, of the Harvard Athletic committee, has announced that William Reid had accepted the proposition to be head coach for the Harvard football team next fall and that all the conditions he had demanded had been accepted by the committee.
 The committee will give Mir Reid a salary of $3,50O, but. as this will not cover all his expenses, Professor Coo lidge had requested the graduates to make up the deficiency. Mir Reid re- quested that his expenses be paid in full, which means that Harvard must pay for substitute to replace him in his fathers school at Belmont, Cal, where he now teaches.

Member of The House OF Representa-
tives From Haywood County.

conviction. He was chairman of the
Democratic committee when he
lived at Oxford. During his
residence in Durham he was
chairman of the county commit
tee there. He was mayor of Oxford
two years and is county attorney of
Durham county In 1904 he was
nominated for the House by the
Democrats of Durham and elected by
a majority of I'll. In the House he
served as chairman of the Committee
on Claims, and was a member of the
following committees: Finance, Edu-
cation, Salaries and Fees, Banking,
Insurance, Congressional Districts,
Federal Relations, Rules, Code Revi-
sion, Railroads and Railroad Commits
sion, Judiciary.
Mr.. Biggs took deep interest in all
matters of legislation, particularly as
chairman of the Committee on Claims,
giving his attention of the claims
growing out of the South Dakota bond
suit, having studied that matter and
fully understood the bond issue from
its inception. He actively supported
the measure of securing a large appro-
priation at the University for the
chemical laboratory at that institution,
to which he is greatly attached. He

county seat of BERTHE county. He was
married May 80. 1899 to Miss Rosa
Mary Kenney, of Portsmouth. Va. He
is an EpiscoDalian.
Mr.. Winston from the day of his
majority has taken a deep and active
interest in politics. He has been a
member of both houses of the General
Assembly. Clerk of the Superior Court
of his county, trustee of the Univer-
Sity for twenty years, Judge of the
Superior Court and Lieutenant Gov
ernor He is a prominent member of
the Masonic order and is among it's
most influential members.
Governor Winston was nominated
Lieutenant Governor by very large
majority, and chosen by a majority of
nearly fifty thousand. He is easily
one of the ableSt and most versatile
speakers in the State, and has pro-
badly made more speeches on more
different topics than any one man in
North Carolina. During the past year,
i'm company with Governor Aycock, he
visited Maine, where both of them
made speeches on education and the
tributes to Governor Winston, as we'll
as to Governor Aycock, were as high
as any ever paid to two North Carolina
statesmen by people of another State.
During the session of the General AS
sembly. Governor Winston presided
over the deliberations of the Senate
with ability unsurpassed. North Car
DINA has been fortunate in the gem
tlemen it has elected as Lieutenant
Governor. but no man has held that
position whose knowledge of parlia-
mentary law, whose executive ability
and whose mate courtesy and prompt
ness in ruling have surpassed those
qualities as displayed by Governor
Winston. In the early part of the
session, comforting with leading Sena-
tors, he sought their cooperation to
prevent the necessity for night ses-
sions, so that for the first time in many
years, the Senate held no night ses-
sion, transacting all its business at the
day sessions. This was largely due to
Governor Winston's genius in dis
patching business. He won, not only
the approval of all the Senator's of all
parties, but their esteem and high re-
garland added greatly to his repu-
tation by his first service as President
of the Senate of North Carolina.

Mr.. Glenn's campaign and was the
envy of old political leaders. He knew
the situation Of every county in the
State, had his hand on the pulse OF
the people and when the final vote
for Governor was taken at Green's
boro he had made hardly a single
mistake in his calculations and Gov
ernor Glenn received almost exactly
the vote that Mr.. Eller had counted
upon his getting. The splen-

the University. He took active inter-
est in the establishment of reforma-
tory and helped to pass the bill in the
Senate. He introduced the Immigra-
ton bill and took leading part in
it's passage. He opposed the Ward bill
because he felt that it was wisest not
to legislate further along the line of
general temperance legislation, and
because in his section the platform
had been construed to mean that the
party would confine itself to the en-
forcement of the Watts Act. He took
an active part in the repeal of the
Merchants Purchase Tax, introduced
a bill to establish a Hall of Records,
