A. Alderman, of the University of Virginia. -The latter is both a native 6f the State and a former president of the University. Geo. Stephens, of Charlotte, brought .greetings from the alumni.. There were in attendance more than a hundred delegates from leading colleges! universities; and learned soctetieflL The alumni of the Uni versity showed their .loyalty to weir alma mater by coming, in large numbers. After the formal exercises, a delightful luqcheon was -served, in -Swain Hall to the alumni, faculty, trustees, and vis itors, lion. Josepnus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, presided on this occasion with ' his usual ease and good humor. There were, several delightful after din ner7 speakers, .Governor Craige being among the. number. The exercises of the day closed with a reception j given in the evening in the Bynum gymnasium. President Graham said ip his inaugural address: "The life of the University of North Carolina begari'with' the. life of the nati6n itself, and the period since its reopening, in 1875, is the' great period of ma terial upbuilding of the North and V est. The next great expansion will be in the South,' where will be made once ' more the experi ment of translating prosperity in terms of a great civilization. It is to leadership in this that State universities. are called. "The State university is more than an aggregate of institutions that express the ideals of culture, as learning, culture t as . research and as vocation as a university it is a living unity, an organism at the heart of the living Demo cratic State, interpreting its life, not by parte or , a summary of parts, but wholly fusing them all into culture, center, giving birth to a new humanism.

Frank Tiled a;pefit3oh with' Gov ernor Slaton and the Georgia prison commission, asking that the sentence ot death imposed upon I Frank for the murder of Mary.Phagan be commuted tb life, imprisonment. ; 'mong the. grounds set forth by Frank in his appeal for execu tive clemency are the allegations that he is innocent of v the crime andthat the principal evidence upon which he was convicted was of "asqpestionable and unrelia ble character." His application contains about 250 words and he stated that It does not under take to set out in full the reasons for his appeal, but he asks per mission to do so at the hearintr before the prison commission. -The attorneys, presented with the application copies of the brief of evidence introduced at Frank's trial, and requested the prison commission to make a personal inspection of the pencil factory, where the Phagan girl was mur dered, before beginning an exam ination of the record.: Members of the prison commis sion stated that a hearing on the application would not be given before the next regular monthly meeting, which will be May 3, and that it was not unlikely that the hearing might then be defer red until the meeting beginning the 'first Monday in June. Ac cording to the procedure in such cases, the prison commission first acts upon applications for execu tive clemency and transmits its recommendations to the Govern or for final action. It is consid ered probable that the commis sion may not be able to finish its consideration of the case before QoVernor Slaton's term expires July 1, next, and that final de cision on the application will rest with Governor-elect N. E. Harris, y l 'titltzpt of Slanderer . Diogenes' 1 was asked what beast had the most dangerous "bite." He answered: "Of wild beats that of the slanderer; of tame ones that of the flatterer." In the third chapter of Genesis we have the first recorded and authentic account of a slanderer. Silently, noiselessly he creeps along until he hisses temptation into the ear of Eve while slandering Almighty God. Today the trail of slander- er is an over tne world, rne t m mi greatest curse that ever yet be fell community was to have in it a talebearer and a scandol won ger. They are a blot upon civil- ization and a running sore in the social life of a nation. As Henry Ward Beecher said, "The tale bearer kindles a fire that burns to the lowest hell." The sly hint innuendo, the question of inquiry which conveys a hint of evil how infamous all these may be! It is hard to trace a slanderer, it is hard to evaporate the truth by the slow process of the crucible and leave the residum of false hood visible and glittering. Of ten one cannot fasten upon any word or sentence and say, That it is a calumny. God forgive the wretch who; under the guise of secrecy, goes from man to man with his story; his half-truth, his in nuendo, leaving in his wakeve nom to inflame hearts and to poison human society at itsfoun tain springs. . Despise the slan derer,1 refuse him . audience, tel him candidly what you think o him, and be sure not to follow him in his footsteps. Ex. . The authorities in London are able to speak by telephone direct to General French. Messages are being received almost from the battlefield itself without delay, and with as much ease as 'from Glasgow to London.

It was he who was tent on the ntamorable mission from Wash ington to Philadelphia to warn president Lincoln, that his life was in danger If he followed his itinerary through Baltimore. ' Four years later Seward figur ed in another stirring incident He was at his father's bedside when Eayne, one of W likes Booth's accomplices, pretending to be a messenger with medicine for Secretary Seward, suddenly drew t revolver and . beat Fred erick Seward into unconscious ness. Then, dashing into the sick room, Payne slashed Secre tary Seward many times. -Both Sewards eventually recovered. Later Payne was captured and executed with others involved in the Lincoln assassination plot States ville Landmarks -. ll Blltl K:t ttiiti The formal' dedication on yes-- terday, the third anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, of a beautiful monument in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Isidor Straus, who lost their lives in that disas ter, wasmarked by ceremonies not only fitting but most inspir ing. In these ceremonies the city of New York very properly joined. On behalf of all its citizens Mayor Mitchell Bpoke feelingly of the value of such citizenship as was typified In the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Straus. Other addresses were delivered by Justice Samuel Greenbaum, Dr. Seth.
