T' CAROLINA vs. MARYLAND FOOTBALL KENAN STADIUM 2:30 CAROLINA vs. MARYLAND FOOTBALL KENAN STADIUM 2:S0 5 VOLUME XXXIX SCORES METHODS USED TO RECORD TAX INFORMATION Asheville Lawyer Speaking Be fore Law Association Says Titles Often Uncertain. "Betting on horses is an abso lute certainty compared y to checking titles for taxes in cer tain counties in this State," ac cording to George H. Wright, of Asheville and one of Western North Carolina's leading title lawyers, who today concluded a series of three practical lectures on title abstracting before Uni versity law students. "If there is anything in this whole State that is in abomin able shape' Mr. Wright declar ed, "it is tax records." The re cords are poorly kept, and the difficulty, said Mr. Wright, is that a lawyer can't always be certain that property is listed by the immediate owner. The only way to make certain is to check the assessor's record in the auditor's office against the tax collector's record a hard job but the only safe way for the lawyer to make sure to tax debts existing against a piece of property. Mecklenburg county rates with the worst as regarding condition of tax records, Mr. Wright declared, but agitation by the lawyers has brought cooperation and a set of fairly good records in Buncombe county. "I hope some day we're going to have our whole tax system systematized," said Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright condensed his wide knowledge of an experience in title work into three excep tional lectures, covering the run ning of the title chain, cross conveyances, judgments, me chanics' and materialmen's liens, outstanding adverse claims. taxes and assessments. He dis played copies of his inclusive forms and check-sheets, and spoke at length on defects, ir regularities and difficulties in checking titles. Mr. Wright was' the third prominent lawyer to discuss title abstracting before Carolina law students in the last two years, the others having been Kemp Battle of Rocky Mount and L. J. Phipps of Durham and Chapel Hill. These outside addressed - by leading state lawyers are ar ranged by the Law School As sociation through Director Al bert Coates with a view to bring ing practice and theory nearer together in legal instruction. Second and third-year students will follow up Mr. Wright's splendid and practical lecture with a trip to Hillsboro to make a detailed examination of the Orange County records.

Coach Fetzer began his speech by saying that the sophomore class was a particular unit of the school. "Here at Carolina we have fine traditions , and back ground and there is a great in centive for the second-year men to lead in upholding these ideals and traditions. - "Athletics have a place, a dis tinct place, in college life as they are a benefit to everyone. The lessons learned on the field are helpful in later life. Here at the University there is an oppor tunity for everyone to partici pate in some activity. There are so many different branches of sport that there is a chance for each member of the student body to excel in one of them. If you do not or cannot partici pate, because of some physical ailment, you can at least con tribute your share from the stands.

Beginning with 41 students, the University had by 1859, grown in size and prominence 1 until its student body that year enrolled 456 students, coming from more than half the states and including representatives of more than 30 colleges. When President Buchanan honored the University with his attendance on commencement exercises that year, tie was so distinguishing the second largest university on the continent.

AHAM SPEAKS AT PEP TrlEETING Large and Enthusiastic Gather ing Present at Second Meet ing of This Year. Gerrard hall was filled to ca pacity last night by a large crowd attending the second pep meeting of the year. President Frank P. Graham gave a short talk on school spirit and Billy Arthur, the newly elected chief cheerleader, led the yells. Mr. Graham gave a short talk in which he carried the students back to the time when, as he said, the joy of a football game was half in the yells. Coach Bob Fetzer, along, with other speak ers, helped to put pep into the students. The yells began shortly after the talks. The students seemed to give better cooperation to the cheerleaders than they have this year. In this second meeting of the year they literally raised the roof and made the windows rat tle. ; . ': In his talk to the sophomores i in chapel yesterday, Coach Fet zer said that the pep and victory of the football players depended a great deal upon the enthusiasm of the crowd, and this was the theme of his talk last night. After the meeting the cheer leaders ' detained the frosh to teach them some new songs and yells that will be used in the near future. The leaders are trying to do their part in organ izing the students, and ask the cppperatio-pflhe student body. America, It Has Come Forward a Position in the First Colleges. - -- Ibout the campus, which had been accustomed to the tread of ten times that many. With an endowment of a quarter of a mil lion dollars completely wiped J out, withf no students, with a faculty near starvation, and with the University board of trustees playing reconstruction politics with the institution, in spite of the labors and agony of those who loved her, the University was forced to close her doors in 1871, to reopen them four years later. , At the term of 1875-76 there were 69 students in attendance, and the laborious work of re building was begun under the loving and skillful leadership of Dr. K. P. Battle. In 1877 the law school was reopened. Oc tober 12th was set aside as a permanent holiday, celebrating the founding of the institution, and the first normal school for teachers was held that summer. In 1881 came the first state appropriation ($5,000) ; except a small loan afterwards made a gift, jn 1791, nearly 90 years bef ore.

Many of them are clad in the striking, typical insignia of , the Masonic Fraternity, their Grand 'Master arrayed in the full decoration of his rank. They march with military tread, be cause most of them have seen service, many scarred with wounds of horrid war. Their faces are serious, ior tney ieei that they are engaged in a great work."
