ChiiHUbmiisii (badger limiting After His PoUtlml Fences In the Tenth Enlargement of Ashevlllc's Public Building. Correspondence of The Observer. Ashevllle, April 4. Representative Jf. M. Gudger. Jr., of the tenth district, is here from Washington to spend a few days. Mr. Gudger is looking well and is apparently giving little concern to his approaching campaign of the Strenuous efforts of Mr. Crawford, of Haywood, to snatch the congresslonaj nomination from the present represen tative this summer. Although Mr. Gudger is not here for the sole pur pose of looking after tils political fenc es, ho is, nevertheless, allowing no grass to grow under his feet. He Is circulating freely among the "boys" and is confident of agam securing a nomination. 8 peak In of affairs in Washington, Mr. Gudger said this tnornlng: "We are going to get our appropriation for Improving and en larging the government building, and although the amount at present named Is $50,000 there Is a possibility that this tnay )e increased to $65,000." Mr. Oudger will remain here over Sunday and probably a few days next Wanfe- AJsked wjhen Congress would adjourn the Congressman said that no time had been fixed. "It Is generally believed," continued Mr. Gudger. "that adjournment will be had some time In May, probably about the middle of the month, although nothing has yet been said' relative to adjournment. Congress will be In session for an other month at ny rate." The plans for the enlargement of the government building In Ashevllln are now on file with the Department at Washington. According to the plans the building will be extended some 15 feet along Haywood street and about IS or 30 feet along Pat ton avenue. II Is the purpose of those In charge of the enlargement to Increaso the third Story capacity nd the revenue depart ment will be removed to that portion from Its present location nn th nec nd floor.

TUB UNIVERSITY. Special to The Observer. Chapel Hill. April 8. For the alxth time in the history of the nine debates between the Universities of North Carolina and Georgia, and for the tnira time in the present series of three debates, the colors of Carolina floated triumphant last night The de cision was returned after a SDirited contest between, "the rival teams. The query was, "Resolwved. That the best interests of the United States demand tnat our tariff policy be revised on the basts of a tariff for revenue only." The affirmative was ably defended by the Georgia team, Messrs. Van WII hlte and Lansing B. Lee. while Messrs. J. J. Parker and W. B. Love, both of Monroe, upheld the negative. The president of the debate was Chief Justice Walter Clark, of Ral eigh. The Judges were Mr. C. W. Til lett, of Charlotte; Prof. Mordecal, Trin ity Law School, and Dr. Hobbs, pi-esl-dent of Guilford College. Mr. Wllhlte opposed protection as a wasteful policy which tries to build tip industries unsulted to the country. Free trade, he said, will promote divis ion of labor, this resulting in a saving of society. Mr. Parker condemned a tarifT for revenue only as an unjusti fiable, tax. Protection, is lndipeiifmble to our national welfare. This we fi demands diversity of Industry whi is prevented toy high American wages. which places American manufactruee at a disadvantage. Protection thus se cuivs a home and insures pormanecy of Industrial life. Mr. Lee condemned protection as class legislation, Increas ing prices, fostering trusts and tax ing the masses unnecessarily. Mr, Love showed that American history Indicated protection by giving prosper ity and high wages. The rejolners were able and conclusive. "Stonewall Jackson" was the subject upon which Mr. George Wendllng spoke to a University audience Fri day night and his lecture ranks eas ily among the best and the most enjoy able in the lecture course this year. Gifted with a highly impressive face and a voice which he can pitch so sfMo bring out, at times, tho most thrilling effects, ho whs able to hold the close attention of his audience throughout his entire lecture. Then, too, his lec ture was one which appeals to a Southern audience and probably it was written for such exclusively. Mr. Wendllng prefaced his study of Jackson, which was Interwoven with the leading events of the civil war, with what he termed a philosophical analysis of the causes which led up to the war. The war, he said, was In evltable.v it was the clashing of tb antagonistic forces, the Puritan of the Nortff and the Cavalier of the South, to bring forth the finished and final product, the American. This, ho said, was God's purpose In permitting the war. This Idea, however, was not strictly original with Mr. Wlndling, as every one familiar with Henry Grady's famous "New South" was aware. Having thus Justified the war, Mr. Wendllng launched Into his treatment of Jackson. First, he was pictured as an awkward Virginia professor Just before the outbreak of the war. He followed him then througn the trans formations wrought In his character by the events of the war, tracing on ench situation and doing justice to the series of exploits of unparalleled brilliancy in military annals. He was within sight of final victory, almost renrtv tn mnrvh iin.'tfi Wflirhlnff'frkn. ,.i.n ir Mm thn mrmll lo p. consummated the union which he 111 1 'V f desired, that cf the Cavalier and the Puritan.' At la.,t this Was Mr Wend llng theology, and the right was con ceded thim to place his own Interpre tation on hiejory. , ; " t,i ' ; t ,. One of the highest claas entertain ments of ' Us kind that haa visited Chapel Hill tfor some Urn was given Monday night when Jerome K. Jerome, English humorist, and Charles Battel! Loom is, American humorist, appeared on the same platform before an audi ence that filled Gerrard Hall. The fame of tho two had spread far and wide. Few bad not either read Lootnls or beard of . him arkt nerhabs none had not held. their side over Jerome' simple out irresistible (tumor in nree Men In a Boat." , ..- . Probably not a' few of the audience had gona out with the heroic Intention. of being oorea wtUt solemn", laughter less British, humor, simply to' see and to say that they had seen him who was starting in. the trans-continental tour. They, iiad , seen, perhaps, one. specimen at our ifinglian brother as a lecturer ana Jiad been not so favor ably impressed they might have been. He had been gracefully intro duced, had plunged til head Into a bundle of manuscriot. without even an iniruuuctory'; "Laate and genue- men, ana men having raced througn his manuscript' had turned and taken his seat, much, as if to say that he had earned hi money and was not giving extra on this trip. ir suen tnere were. However, tney were reassured by the appearance of Mr. Jerome. , His ruddv cheeka his self-assured mlr, as well as the half supercilious glint of his glasses, pro claimed him a an Englishman of the better class,' But otherwise he seem ed reassuringly ; like 'folks." He had -the sympathy of his audience from the start, and kept them in a continual titter of merriment. There was no up roarious laughter; His humor was of the kind that provoked a smile. Most of his number were anti-climatic. abounding tn UUIe funny touches, and Jerome did not have a graceful dellv- ery, out a certain personality oiat I grew on nis) audience. He was good as a speaker, but better, we think. In his book. : '.;., Mr. Loomi came next. His rreter- naturaily grave and "dellulously sol emn looking", countenance was mirth provoking in the- extreme. His first selection was a fairy tale in Irish dia lect and was read by him to the King's tarns "entolrelyi" All of his selection were enjoyed In a quiet way, though he was probably enjoyed best In his Irish dialect stories. Mr. Jerome and his wife, who Is ac companying film On his Southern tour, were entertained, while on the Hill, by Dr. George Howe, a personal acquaint ance. Professor Collier Oobb has Just re ceived the gold medal won by the exhibit of tho School of Mining of thl University at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Dr. Charles a. Herty, professor of chemistry, delivered a lecture Satur day night before the students of A. & M. College at Raleigh on the sub ject of turpentine orcharding. The Raleigh papers speak highly of bis lecture. The summer law school will open June 13 with, a full corps of lecturer. Judge McRae, Dr. K. P. Battle, Dr. Thomas Ruffin and Mr. J. Crawford Biggs will lecture In the course. Mr. F. H. Busbee and other distinguished men will deliver special lectures. The Red and White of A. & M. states that at the February examination for license before Supreme Court Mr. Wil ter Clark, Jr., who received the cfc gree of bachelor of laws here last spring, put up the first perfect paper ever handed In In the law examination In this State. Friends of the University through out the State will be interested to know about the splendid showing which students from the medical department are taking in other schools. Last year there were, in Jefferson Medical Col lege, of Philadelphia, nine young men who had taken the first two years of their medical course at Chapel Hill. Five of these men made the hlgest grades g4ven at JefTeison, and the other four the next highest, one of the four winning the prize in surgery. Manager Miller has certainly bucked up against a tought proposition in the way of luck thus far this spring, though from his unperturbed counte ance one would never guess that he isn't coining money. First, the David son game was cancelled, then V. P. I. cancelled all 'the games on her South ern trip. This was followed by the cancellation of the Oak Ridge and Guilford games, due in the last case to the 111 feeling of the weather man. His ill humor continued and practically lost, so far as the financial feature Is concerned, both LaFayette games. The declaring off of Saturday's gam with Wake Forest at Raleigh doesn't end the list, for Georgetown has cancelled the game to have been played In Wash ington on our Northern trip. Olsen Challenges Frlabee. Correspondence of The Observer. Ashevllle, April . Charles Olsen, who was defeated In a wrestling match here several days ago by Frank Gotch. has written an open letter offering to throw both Big Tom Frlsbe and Ju lius Cohen, three falls each Within a space of one hour. The Msdison man said that and date Olson chose to wrestle would be sat isfactory. If Olsen accept the chal lenge thus thrown at him by Frlsbee there will likely fbe an Interesting match pulled off In private somewhere tn this vicinity shortly.

Young Lady of Salisbury Has Premo. nltion of tatnera xeatnr aieeung of Rowan Democratic Executive Committee. Correspondence of Hie Observer. Salisbury. April 6. The Salisbury Post has half a page of political an nouncements and they come . on as usual. The meeting of the executive committee to-morrow will determine the date when most of them will be loft. It Is a prediction, deserving the dignity of notice, that the committee will choose April 28 for the date of the primary and some day "of the fol lowing week for the county convention. This will hardly be Saturday, as Is the custom, on account of the Spencer shop picnic or May 5. In no conven tion of recent years has there .been so much interest shown as there will be in this one. ' This morning Mis Irene Brogden re ceived the news of the death of her father, Mr. Wesley Brogdeny of Davie, which occurred yesterday. He died last night and. before having any In timation of it, Miss Brogden told of a strange dream she had during the night. She was relating to a neighbor that she had dreamed that her brother, who had been dead several years, had com for her in a carriage. While tell ing the story a brother did come with a message that the father was dead. The brother was In a carriage then preparing to take Mis Brogden home. The elder j, Brogden was about 70 and a good citizen. He leave a wife and six children. An effort is being made to have th congressional convention, which is scheduled for Wllkeoboro, to meet In Salisbury. This was, for years, the Democratic headquarters and the con vention was changed to Btatesvllle and later to Wllkesboro. M. A. Bringle had a narrow escape this morning from death when his horse became frightened at a train and threw htm down an embankment 20 feet. He escaped with a few bruis es of a slight nature. ABOUT RHEUMATISM. There are few diseases that inflict mors torture than rheumatism and - there is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of remedies have been suggested. To say that It ean be cured Is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an extensive sale, has met with great success in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to perma nent cures by Its use.
