WE regret that we cannot give
this week as full an account of the
Virginia game as we. would like
without delaying the paper. '
Next week, however, we will
have a review of the whole football
season with some interesting facts
in regard to our last game.
The game with Virginia was lost.
Carolina has never had the reputa
tion of seeking an excuse for defeat.
But we know, and the playing
proved, that the Carolina team was
superior to Virginia in every point.
And we wish it to go forth to the
world that Carolina is proud of her
team, that she feels that she got
decidedly the worst of the umpir
ing, and that on neutral ground she
can give Virginia a sound drubbing.
The disqualification of Merritt was
unjust, unfair and unsportsmanlike,
showing that our rival his not the
grit and manhood to take a defeat
fairly and squarely. Also, a year
ago. Virginia had everything her
way and the field was perfectly
clear of spectators. But n 'Thurs
day, we noticed that after? Virginia
had scored Virginia men swarmed
over the field, thereby keeping our
star back, Stephens, from making a
touchdown. Yes, Virginia, you have
the game, but we are glad to say
that North Carolina still has her
old reputation of gentlemen and
men who love fair play.
Mr. Henry Jerome Stockard,
who was instructor in English in
this University, a few years ago,
has written enough poetry to make
up a small volume. The book is to
be published if enough subscribers
can be found to pay the cost of pub
lication. 1
In spite of the fact that a good
deal of Mr. Stockard 's potetry has
been thought worthy of publication
in some of the leading magazines
the Wilmington Messenger has to
complain that only one hundred and
fifty subscribers to the published
volume have been found and a large
proportion of . them are not North
Carolinians.
Whatever may be our opinion of
Mr. Stockard's merits as a poet,
this does not say much for our wil
lingness to encourage literary work
on the part of our 'own men. Let
it be granted that the work is not
so srood as we should like to
have it, when we measure it by the
absolute standard. Can we expect :
it to improve if we offer no encour-1
agement to the authors?
As a matter of fact, Mr. Stock-,
ard is recognized as a poet of no
mean ability, and in North Caro
lina, to say nothing of any other
place, his volume of poems ought to'
have a good sale. It is barely pos-1
sible that the matter has not been
well advertised. It was purely an
accident that the writer of this arti-'
cle learned that the poems were to
be published; and through whom he '
could subscribe for a copy. '
- John D. Rockafeller has made .an
other magnificent donation to the Uni
versity of Chicago. This time it is
one million dollars," and is the largest
single sum ever donated to any insti
tution of learning. With this amount
ues the promise of two millions more,
provided the University authorities
will raise an equal amount, ' which
chy think they can easily do. Mr.
Rockafeller has already given the Uni
versity of Chicago the-sum of $7,
425,oco.' ... . :. .. .. . , 7
Jesse C. Spaight has been elected
io the lower house of the Kentucky
Legislature from Hickman and Fulr
tcu counties. He is 31 years old.
Mr. Spaight's grandfather, Rich
ard Dobbs Spaight, was one of the
signers for North Carolina of the
United States Constitution. And
an uncle, Jesse Spaight, 'served in
the United States Congress from
1832 to 1836 from. North Carolina,
and was afterwards elected to the
United States Senate. , . . .,.

German students of literature are
much exercised over the decay of
polite, letters in the Fatherland,
In scholarship it more than holds
its own, but neither in poetry,
drama, nor fiction is there anything
notable being done. It may be said
that the same is trueof,jnusic. Ger
many no longer leads the world as
she did in this art. It is quite pos
sible that this decadence is due to
the over-development of the critical
spirit, and that greatness in art is
proving detrimental to art" -
Springfield Republican.
The last issue of Harper's Week
ly has the following about the new
mayor-elect of Brooklyn:
"Mr. Wurster, the successful
candidate, was born in North Car
olina. of German parents, in 1850.
When he was seven years old his
parents moved to Brooklyn. He
was educated in the public schools
and went into business as a princi
pal when he was twenty years dd;
He is a manufacturer of axles and
is prosperous in his affairs.
He -is a director in several finan
cial institutions and is president of
the Hanover Club. Fire commis
sioner under mayor Scheren is the
only public office he ever held."-
Last Sunday evening the Rev;
John M. Rose preached the Novem
ber Sermon in the series of Month
ly Sermons before the Young MenTs
Christian Association. Mr. Rose
was a student in the University in
1867 68. He preached from James
4:14, "For what is your life?" , "
The purest life is not all there
is a future for which the present is
but a period of preparation. Thati
view which does look upon thepresj
ent life as probationary is ignoble
and degrading. I
The man's life has a certain, re
lation to Christ's life, and the man
should strive to attain that relation.;1
No one lives to himself. The fact
that he has influence upon his feir
lows should weigh upon him as 4n
awful responsibility, and he ' should
spare no pains to make that influence '
what it should be. ') " 'I,,'
The life is uncertain' in the ex
treme; therefore, the wise "man will
make sure his preparation for the
future. I

Those who are interested in the
early history and se ttlement of the
State with its beautiful traditions
will note with pleasure the patriotic
Work that is being done on Roanoke
Island mainly through 1 lie efforts of
Graham Dave... The old fort built
by Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists is
to be restored. The Fort and 'sur
roundings have been surveyed and
itis evident that the works were
laid only by3 s1- Y.A engineers.
jit was one Uumhvd and thirty-five
feet from or.? basti on to anoth er
and a small part of it yet remains.
; In the restoration permanent ma
terials will be used and it will pres
ent as near as possible the orignal
appearance.
: The material used in the recon
struction will be coquiue which
will be taken from the vicinity of
New Berne. The Fort is within a
quarter of a mile of Roanoke Sound
and two miles of Albermarle.
The work is to be done bv an his
torical association whose members
live mainly in North Carolina and
Virginia.
' There will also be en cted ceai

Shall Women be allowed to Study
i at the University?
15 Times and opinions change. Ten
years ago, one of the professors at
that time connected with the Uni
versity suggested that it might be
a; good thing to allow women at th
University. The remark created
some disturbance in the State, one
paper going to the extent of saying
that the professor should not be al
lowed to remain here. Now, these
same papers would give him a very
respectful hearing.
; i Should women be admitted? Yes,
to certain departments and under
certain restrictions. To admit them
to all of the departments, and with
out restrictions, would be a very
great innovation, and North Caro
Una does not take kindly to iunova'
tions. But there could be no reas
onable objection to admitting them
to the graduate department, when
they are prepared to do the work.
; So far as I know, there is not an
institution in the state that offers to
women the opportunity to do work
of that character, such as they
1 1 1 ' j j i TT ' mt
wouia nave at tne university. me
number of women in the State pre
pared to do such work, and desirous
of doing it is probably not very
large; but if there were only one,
she should be given the opportunity
to do it.
i I can see no objection to going-
farther and admitting women who
aj-e prepared to the Junior, and pos
sibly to the Senior, Class. V At'pres
ent there is no need of opening the
lcjwer classes to them, there are a
gbod many schools in the State that
aye doing the work of that grade.
I As it is, the women who wish to
pursue advanced courses must go
to some of the Northern female col
leges, or ''co-educational" institu
tions. Whatever advantages the
University of North Carolina may
have to offer in advanced work, the
young women as well as the young
mjen should have the benefit of these
advantages.

A Wonderful Invention
Zoology teaches that the hairs of the head
are hollow, and contain an oil that gives
them life. Tn clipping the hair with scis
sors, this hollow is left open, and the hair
loses its ; he-giving properties.
I have a Machine named the Singeing Ma
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 dyin;; 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 the country.
