Down j .;; ; .. . The whole of Swain's Restau rant and Cabaret has been exclu sively reserved for the Carolina Battalion on Saturday night, No vember 24. The managers of that famous eating place say that this exclusive , reservation for the sol diers was necessary because every man in ranks will turn out for the Battalion Smoker that night.

Mr. Woollen ; and .Dr. Howell, well known theatrical managers, have been engaged to collect an array of vaudeville talent un equalled in this town.

The , price of admission to the cabaret will be only twenty-five cents'. The trenches are at last com pleted except for a few touches here and there.

Work is being pushed, regardless of the weather, to finish the trenches and Wednesday the mud bespattered men1 looked as i if they have come from' those talked-of mud holes in Flanders. One man, who had splashed around in water all the afternoon said that he had become a regular mud duck and wanted to bst that his feet were webbed. But the men seemed to Cl)iy it and worked with as much enthusiasm as if they were play ing in a sand pile. " ' ' Dr. Moss will speak Sunday at 12:30 P. M. in Pi Kappa PM Hall on "The Gentleman." Farther Lafayette Plans Plans are being developed for the future work of the Lafayette Association, but nothing " definite has been announced. The leaflets have ; been widely distributed throughout the state, and copies have also gone to every college and university in the country. But the means by which the campaign that is outlined in the leaflets will be carried out has not been decid ed upon, and Dr. Greenlaw and Dr. L. R. Wilson are working this out now. The general purpose of the Association is to "waken the nation to the meaning and the size of the task that confronts it." Courses of lectures, single lectures, group lectures, correspondence courses, and distribution of li brary books will feature in the work that will be carried out in the schools of the state. The Di Society on last Satur day night elected for the next term the following officers : President, R. E. Price ; Vice President, W. E. Price; Secre tary, J. L. Cook; First Corrector, F.

RAPER TALKS ON "THE COUNTY TAX LIST" EQUALIZATION OF TAXES MADE THE SUBJECT OF CAROLINA CLUB DISCUSSION A PARTIAL REMEDY SUGGESTED Dr. R-aper spoke before the North Carolina Club last Monday on County Equalization of Taxes. "In most states," said Dr. Raper, "the county tax machinery is fixed by the legislature; and the legislature has the power to manufacture any method of ma chinery it chooses. In North Caro lina the county is the unit of the taxing power and for convenience the county is divided into tovrn ships,;which become the real units of assessment for taxation and the causes of many inequalities in as sessment." The State Corporation Commis sion, which acts as the State Tax Commission and as the State Bank Commission, has general su pervisory powers over tax assess- ments, but rarely has it exercised its power: only once in, a decided manner. Under this commission, there is a county assessor who is appointed for one year out of every four, who must complete his work in about 75 days, and who cannot receive more than four dol lars, per work day. He is usually appointed tax assessor because he has no better job, and in a ma jority of cases he is inefficient. Under the county assessor is the township assessor, who does the actual placing of values on the tax books. He cannot receive more than three dollars per work day and he usually completes his work in about 50 work days. During three years out of four, the town ship assessor is under no super vision. There is a county board of equalization which passes on all complaints made by tax payers and equalizes the township assess- ( Continued from Page 3) What's to Happen and When Saturday, November 17 Moot Court in Law Building at 8 :00 .

After winning three, straight victories at home the Freshman team is ready and anxious to in vade foreign territory with more snap and vim than ever before, Charlotte high school, on the other hand, has been going at a clipping rate so far.

CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA CLASH IN PETERSBURG "On to Petersburg." The interest of the entire cam pus is now centered on "The" game, to be played in Petersburg, Va., next Saturday when the Carolina First Year Reserve team stacks up against the strong Vir ginia Freshman eleven. Both Jeams are as yet undefeat ed this year. It has been impossi ble to obtain individual statistics on the two elevens, but compara tive scores indicate the strength of the opposing teams. The Virginia Freshmen won from Emory and Henry College by the score of 26 0, from Augusta Military Acade my 12-0, from Woodberry 20-13, from Belmont Athletic Club 27-0, and tied the Pennsylvania Fresh men 6-6. She is playing Shenan doah Valley Academy today. This gives her a total of 91 points to her opponents 19. Against this record the Caro lina team has piled up 65 points to her opponents 8. She defeated Davidson Scrubs 6-2, Oak Ridge 45-0, and Bingham (Asheville) 14-6. Each team has been scored on twice and neither has lost a game. A large number of old Caro lina men are in training at Camp Lee in Petersburg, and promise the Freshmen a warm welcome. A large crowd of students from here are expected to accompany the team. The betting is said to be about even, with slight odds on Virginia. (Continued on Page 4) CAROLINA WINS OUT IN FAST PIGSKIN CONTEST RESERVES DOWN BINGHAM OF ASHEVILLE IN BEST GAME OF THE SEASON SCORE IN LAST MINUTE OF PLAY Freshmen Showed Distinct Improve ment in Registering Defeat Both Teams Forced to Extend Them selves Bingham Gained Repeated-, ly Through Our Line : In the best game seen here this season, featured by brilliant for ward passing and several long runs the Carolina Freshmen hammered out a victory Saturday over the fast Bingham eleven, a team that had not up till then been defeated. The score was 14 to 6, but the game was in fact much closer than the score indicates. Not until (Al fred Scales, caught the oval on Bingham's 40 yard line and made another one of his long runs for a: touchdown, were the sages and prophets in the stadium able to predict with any certainty who was going to win. It was a .nip-and-, tuck contest from start to -finish, and Carolina won by playing just a ' little better ' game of i football . . than her fast opponents. . ? . . A real game of football .it was, -full of zest and snap, just ;the. . kind of game that the crowds;, en joy best 1 of all. Some pretty . tackling and fast passing by both sides made ' the game lively throughout and kept the grand stands noisy "talking it up." In : fact both sides played with such spirit and dash , that , the referee, had to restrain them frequently by . . penalties of eight or ten yards, The game was , further marred ; by .. a good many substitutions, on ac-. count of injuries. ! Both teams - fought j hard for points. Carolina started the first, quarter, by sweeping the Bingham . team off their feet in a rush for; the goal. Within 15 yards of the. goal line Cochrane grabbed a fumble by Lowe and . carried , it ;; across the line. The referee called;; the ball back on a. technicality and the touchdown did not count. ; Ai-'.) , ter being penalized 15 yards, the . Freshmen, braced up, and by, plunging the line for gradual gains carried the ball to Bingham's two 1 yard line by the end of the quar ter. After one unsuccessful at tempt to carry the ball across, the line broke through their opponents and scored with Robbins Lowe car-, rying the ball. Lowe then added another point by kicking goal. , In this second quarter Bing ham's chances were seriously weakened by the fact that Oates, her fast right half back, was knocked 7 out. His consistent ground . gaining was one of the, biggest assets of the team.. In the second half Fearrington, who had been playing a splendid game at fullback, was injured and Fulton was substituted in his place. Fulton soon showed what he could do by nailing to the ground a runner who was threat ening to break loose for a tonch down. In the third quarter Bing ham made her only touchdown. Ligon blocked a kick by Scales, the ball bounced over the line, and (Continued on Page 4A
