' Entered at the Post Office in Chapel Hill, N, C. as second-class mail matter. - WE NOTICED in the Raleigh let ter to the Charlotte Observer sev eral days ago something- concerning the organization of a State Base ball League. Several attempts have already been made, but each and all have resulted in failure. But the Tar HEEL thinks that such an organization ought to exist in our State, and that we have enough towns of sufficient size and population to guarantee its success. If the right men would go at it in the right way, we would soon have such an association as would afford the base-ball loving public much pleasure. Everyone is now eagerly look ing forward to the game with A. & M. on the twelfth. There is always a particular , in terest attached to the game that sets the ball rolling, partly be cause it is something new, but in the main, because it gives us some means of forming an opinion about the future possibilities of the team. A. & M. is not one of the strong est teams we have to meet, nor have we any fear as to the result, but the game is, nevertheless, an im portant one, for it will show up the 'Varsity's strength and reveal our weak points much better than any of our practice games. We hope that every student as well as a good delegation from the town will turn out and cheer the team and help to make the game a success financially. W.R.Sikes, son of Mr. W. P. Sikes, of Pendleton, left last Tuesday for the University of North Carolina, which he will enter as a student. He is a very bright young man intellectually and has fine prospects of a successful carter. -Patron and Gleaner. Mr. Sikes is now back at Wake Forest. Biblical Recorder. The above found in the columns of a very zealous antagonist of the Uni versity, was evidently printed with an intent to reflect on this institution. That paper waged an incessant battle against the University' appropriation last Spring but was set down upon not only by the majority of the people of the State, but by a large per cent of its own denomination. The young man referred to in the above article came to the University under a misapprehension. He thought he could finish a year's college work taking law as an elective. This is not the way things are done here. You must take a college course or you must take law. The University believes in doing things thoroughly and not by halves. The Recorder's young man seeing that law was thoroughly taught here, and not placed in a sub ordinate position as. at "Wake Forest, sailed back a wiser and sadder youth. The present i.-v a.i age of almost perfection in every branch of the mechanical world. ; Steam,' which a. few years ago.' could hardly be util ized i now nearly" banished by its bli,ong-C4-..-..'..cc;:iptitur,' . clvCttvcity. This advancement in railways is by far more prominent than in any other sphere. Ease, . comfort and luxury are the characteristics of modern travel. But mark what a contrast is the Chapel Hill branch of the Southern Railway. Rails which are entitled to be pensioned for long and honor able service; a road-bed which sug gests the rise and fall of man; cars having stood the storm of years stand ready to be relieved; and an engine crushed in the service on a tougher line, is furnished to this road. Even if the speed, track andtrain were all thatcould be desired, the public would then have a right to com plain at the distance from theftown the depot is located. This in itself is a great inconvenience and works a severe hardship alike upon the stu dents of the University and the cit izens of Chapel Hill. May the day soon come when the progressive management of , the Southern Railway will deign to con sider the trials and tribulations of those dependent upon the Chap el Hill Railway for convenience. The Law Class. The law class appeared before the Supreme Court at Raleigh Mon day to apply for license, and some f o them have returned to the Hill to fake "a last farewell of their friend's before going out to astonish the world with their wisdom arid elo- TT -4 4 4 -4 -4 quence. lney are all jubilant for every man in the class passed the examination. We learned be fore the class went down that, du ring the whole history of the law school, none -having Dr. Manning's certificate had ever failed to pass the examination; this certainly speaks well for the high standing and thoroughness of instruction of the law department. Another class has now gone down, the mystic chain is still unbroken and we feel justly proud of our law school. It is certainly gratifying to see the interest that is being shown by a large number of the boys in get ting up foot-ball subscriptions and getting1 the men out and in the game generally. ' There has been a time in the memory of this paper when the stu dent body seemed to think it the duty of the executive and advisory committees of the Athletic Associa tion to turn out unassisted, a good team every year, and to be the sole dispencers of that commodity known as college spirit which they were supposed to keep on tap" for all occa sions. ! It is needless to . say that the aforesaid college spirit was decided ly below par, and we don't mean to say we have any superabundance of it now, but it seems to be coming. Let's all help it along, it will get here after awhile and when it does we'll 4 'get there every time". A PLAN is on foot, and is rapidly becoming tangible to inaugurate an annual interstate debate be tween representatives of I the liter ary societies of the University of North Carolina and the University of Virginia. The Tar HEEL has the success of this wise movement sincerely at heart and hopes that it can be established at an early date and successfully maintained. Such a movement would have a marked tendency to improve and would .stimulate society work in both institutions. Itistobe hoped that in this great age, athletically speaking, the literary societies which are invariably great adjuncts to every institution will not suffer. We have met the U. of Va., upon several occasions within the last few years but always it was battle of brawn. Now for a struggle of brain, and may U. N. C. show to the world her true glory. Preparation for College. "Prof. Thomas D. Seymour, Chairman of the Committee of. the Yale faculty having in charge the entrance examinations, said last week that of the 400 candidates for the academic department 120 had been accepted in full, 192 had been conditioned, and 50 had received preliminary certificates, with per mission to enter this fall. This makes a total of 362 of whom about 350 are expected to enter this week. If there is any truth in the state ment thst "misery loves company," we of North Carolina take some comfort from the fact that a lament able (lefirieitrcy ( in the preparation for college is not confined to our own State. That, however, does not make the situation any better for iis. That there is a crying need for a remedy for the present condition of affairs, no one will deny; but how that remedy is to be applied is an other question. Something could be done if the preparatory schools, on the one hand, and the colleges on the other, would ' enter into some thing like an understanding with each other. There are certain sub jects and certain lines of work which the preparatory schools should always leave to the college. Again the college ought to insist upon at least a fair standard of preparation before admitting candi dates, and ought to aid the schools in their efforts to keep the pupils until they have had time enough to to get what the schools have to offer them. The Law Class of '96 met last Saturday evening in their hall on 1st floor of the Old West building for the'purpose of electing officers for the ensuing "year. The election was as follows: A. S. Dockery, Rockingham, President. D. C. Barnes, Murfreesboro, Secretary. W. D. Grimes, Grimesland, His torian. J. W. McNeil, Wilkesboro, Judge of the Superior Court. R. W. Dalby, Oxford, Associate Judge. ' Wm. D. Grimes, Clerk. R. T. Hurley, Solicitor. S. Hare, Sheriff. " "t.. rr. i . i , & ui: uumc xias received irom the Early English Text Society, London three of their quaint and valuable publications, viz. Caxton's Blan. chardyn, of the year 1489, The Thornton -M's of 1440, containing the Mirror of St. Edmund etc. and Caxton's Enegdos translated from the French Book of the Enid of 1490, sent as prizes for his advanced work in Saxon and Early English. This'is a tribute to the-scholarly andscientif ic character of our depart ment of English Philology and Saxon literature. Both for its dis ciplinary value and the interest of its subjects, this course is taken every year by some of our most thoughtful students. The State of North Carolina can now proudly claim a modern, well-equipped University. With li braries, laboratories, dormitories, reading-rooms, College publications, water-works, electric lights, a high and versitive curriculum, an able and thorough faculty, and presided over by a wise and discreet Presi dent, with an enrollment of over half a thousand, the University of North Carolina presents itself to the people of the State as an educa tional institution, the equal, if not the superior of any in the South. 'Varsity Schedule. We had hoped to give out the 'Varsity schedule in this issne. But we find that it has not been com pleted and therefore we were unable to get it. We will try to give a full schedule in our next issue. A. A.

KLUTTZ A Wonderful Invention Zoology teaches that the hairs of the head are hollow, and contain an oil that gives them life. In clipping the hair with scis sors, this hollow is left open, and the hair loses its life-giving properties. I have a Machine named the Singeing M' Chine, which removes the hair and at the same time closes up the hollow, causing the hair to retain its life-giving properties, and therefore stopping the hair from falling out or dying, and giving it a soft growth. Call and examine this machine and have your hair singed. Special attention given to dressing La dies' hair. Cutting done with exquisite and srtistis skill by the old University Barber Of twenty years' experience. The singing machine is highly recom mended by scientists throughout thecountr.
