DEREGEs TO De CONFERRED
THE OLD UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
TO BE REMEMBERED.

Chapel Hill, Feb. AT the 1911
degrees will be con-
ferred on those surviving students of
the University of North Carolina who
left Chapel Hill to enter the Con-
federate army, before completing the
course for the baccalaureate d.
ploma. OF the 1881 men who
matriculated at the university from
1851 TO 1860. 759 are known to have
been in the Confederate army and ii
is probable that there was not a
single one OF the 1881 who was
physically capacitated who did not
see service. The freshman class OF
1860 numbered SO men and every
one went into the war. one man re-
turning for his diploma after having
been discharged because Of physical
inability. Thirty per cent. Of the
university men who went into the
army we're killed in service. Time
has taken away many others in the
years that have elapsed since 1865;
but on the few remaining, their alma

WITHDRAWN
II Is Said Wake win Consent 10
Giving a Slice 10 Durham

The report comes from Raleigh
that all opposition on the part OF
Wake county representatives in the
state legislature has been Withdrawn
from the passage OF the bill to annex
a part OF Wake county to Durham
county. This leaves the matter en-
tirely in the hands OF General Carr,
and II is very probable that a bill
will be passed at an early date au-
thorizing the annexation.
The part OF Wake In question Is
the portion OF Oak Grove, township
lying this side of the river and adj
joining Oak Grove township in Dur
ham county. The citizens of this
part OF Wake county have been de-
sirous OF being annexed TO Durham
county for some time. The capital
city OF Wake is very inaccessible and
announcement for them. and the
larger part OF their interests are in
the capital Of Durham county. The
greater part OF their business is done
In this city. They feel that II would
be to their interest to be more closely
connected with the Durham county
affairs.

II Is understood. also. that there

An unusually interesting program
has been prepared for the next meet
ing Of the Science club of Trinity col

the most interesting and instructive
meetings Of the year. The college
community as well as the general

Because the old Washington Duke
building. with all it's associations and
traditions, was so dear to Trinity
men. the sight OF the cold. gray ragged
ruins OF that historic January fire
has been a constant and rather pain

work OF removing the remains has.

Of the danger passer-by was In

back 10 the days when Caesar piled
his batterIng-rams against the hostile

in which the people are very
much interested. He held III
large crowd spell bound by his
matchless eioquence. y dis;in-
guished and eminent Judge who
lives in the far West, is in the city
visiting friends and relatives. He
told the writer that before ne
heard this speech that he was
against Vardaman, that he
thought from what he had heard
that Vardaman was ''too radical
and too Incorporate in speech to
represent the people in the United
states Senate. but after hearing
that speech that he must confess
that it was one OF the most mast
terful speeches he ever heard in
his life and that he thinks Varda-
man is one of the greatest men
and orators in America today.
He says further that if Vardaman
will make that speech in each
county site in the State that no
twelve men in the State can beat
him for the United States Senate.
a very eminent educator who
lives in our city made this COM
parison that he was like Mr..
Moody who heard an eminent di-
vine preach a sermon and took as
his subject "Wha Il am" In his
sermon he took everything on the
earth and said, | am that and
more. He took everything in the
sea and said | am that and more
and took everything in the ele-
ments and said am that and
more. After he had finished
Moody was asked what he thought
of the sermon, he said: .We!l
went with him as long as he stay
ed on the earth, but when he went
into the elements and into the sea
he left me standing on the shore. :"
So this eminent educator said
about Vardaman in his beautiful
and sublime flights of orarory.
He often left him standing on the
shore trying to pierce the depths
OF the imaginary ocean, or the
blue dome of heaven or the ethe-
rial regions of thought.
The writer has had the pleasure
OF hearing L. 9. C. Lamar and |
can say unhesitatingly that Varda
man speech last Thursday could
not have been excelIed by Lamar
or Prentiss.
1t was great speech and great
iy enjoyed by the people OF the
county. -
