Some time last fall the. Tar Heel
proposed a plan of inter-collegiate
correspondence between some of the
principal universities of the South
by means of a monthly interchange
of letters, to be published in the pa
pers of the different institutions.
The University of the South, Van
derbilt, Georgia and Texas entered
heartily into the plan and it was
thought that all arrangements had
been perfected. Owing" to the fact
that Sewanee's long- vacation came
in the winter, no letter was expect
ed from her in the immediate
future but it was expected that
the other college papers would
live up to the agreement. From
Georgia not a line has been received
though the Tar Heel's letters have
beer, published in the Red and
Black. Nor has the editor of the
latter deigaed to answer a single
one of the communications ad
dressed to him about the matter.
We regret very much to be com
pelled to call attention to this lack
of courtesy in so public a manner,
but cannot devise anr other way
for forcing- the Red Black to do
something'. If the plan is a good
one and it was once agreed that it
was - it can be carried out only by
the parties concerned; if it is not a
good one or if there areinsurmount
able difficulties in the way of its ex
ecution, the Ta? Heel is willing- to
drop it. But if it is to be given up
we think it is nothing- but due cour
tesy to inform us of the fact.
control his impulses and direct his
course toward scholarship and right
living-;' One could not but feel in
listening- to Col. Bingham that he
had no age, but the prime of life,
that he had the genius for keeping
in touch with the movements of the
modern world and with the aspira
tions of young- men, and that the
great school which has been con
ducted for over a century by men of
of his blood is destined to feel the
the vigorous touch of his own euerg-y
and constructive ability.
. It has been claimed that the old
tread of school masters of the type
of Thos. Arnold, David Caldwell,
the elder Horner and the elder
Graves have passed away, but Col.
Bingham, the Nestor of preparatory
education in North Carolina is a
living- refutation of the claim. ..
The University, his alma mater,
will al ways be proud to welcome
him to her walls
Prize of Best Batter.
The following- is a letter received
by manag-er from Mr. G. W.
Lawson. brother of Capt. Lawson.
It was accompanied by a very at
tractive prize which is to be given
to the best batter. This shows the
interest our friends;, take in , f our
team and should be an incentive to
every man on the team to do better
work. .
The Tar heel, as well as every
member of the .University, most
heartily thank Mr. Lawson for this
little remembrance. (

Col. Bingham on "Expansion."
On Monday at the last' morning
hour the entire University assem
bled in Gerrard Hall to hear Col.
Bingham discuss the general prob
lem of expansion and the part the
English spvalving man is to play in
the world. The speech was one of
power, showing care fid stud)7 of
the characteristics of the English
race, its love of justice and its;;stead
f l L' t flL' L' '
Col. Uing.iam ;; a pronounced
advocate of expan.s:vn, indeed,, he
deems it inevitable. . . ,y.
By his directness aud simplicity
and nicety of speech and opinion,
Col. Bingham gave in himself a
splendid illustration of the powers
of such qualities to captivate
etitical young men. If there is any
thing he knows it is a boy. He
knows how to win his love and ad
miration and at the same time id

The undersigned begs leave to
suggest to the reviewer of the
January Magazine that in the
future he exercise more caution in
making implications which have no
foundation of fact to support them.
The undisguised statement with
which he has loaded his critique is
that one would suspect the writer
of the character sketches, "Pussy"
und "Rooster to be a '"vindictive"
enemy of the former, and smarting
under defeat in some, late political
squabble of thus taking revenge.
The implication patent to every
one is that the .undersigned, the
friend though well known political
opponent, of the subject of the
sketch is the author. '
On the contrary the sketch was
written by another personal friend,
but by no means political opponent.
Furthermore the sketches were
submitted beforehand to the persons
sketched who read ' every word in
them and instead of characterising
them as "Vindicative" treated the
sketches as clever bits of harmless
humor. If there had been the least
objection offered the Editor of the
Magazine would uot have permitted
their publication. As to the merit
of the com positions a competent
critip pronounced them well done
and not unfit for publication in the
revised form in which they appear
ed. So the only field for severe;
censure was their fitness for the
pages of the Magazine, and the
Editor takes in good part anything
that might have been said along
that line. Honest criticism is
always healthy drink though at
times a little bitter, but inuendos
are the poison the cultured savage
dips his words in. Let me suggest
to our critic that he read again in
"John Lucas" the advice the
Prof, of Civil Engineering gave to
Frank Liston: "Mr. Liston, I beg
that while you are in this class
room you will edeavor to-monopolize
your own ignorance."

To avoid the trouble of answer
ing questions we would like to state
that the editor-in-chief of the Mag
azine did not write the sketch of
"Pussy" in the last issue of the
Magazine. Nor did the editor-in
chief of the Tar Heel write the
criticism of the Magazine which
appeared in our last issue. ,
