At a recent meeting the Odd Number flub of the University, organised Inst rear, decided to enter nn Inler-eollf glab association in which several other large fouthern universities are Interested, the aim of the larger organisation being tha same as that of tha Old Nurnbor Club to encourage original literary work among the ittudenls. The ultimate ob Jeet of the larger organism Ion Is to publish an Inter-colleglato short tory tnagasln. During the year ths Odd Number Club hss met with nnmn little success In achieving Its purpose and It Joins 'he Inler-colleglate organlwtlon In the be lief that It offer still more effective means. The meetings of the club have always been Informal, the readings of elections by different memhers beltig voluntary and the criticism tending to be friendly rather than destructive. In this respect the locsl orgsnlsxtton will remain unchanged. The only change to be effected Is the widening of Us scope by keeping Its members In touch with ether college men Interested in similar work throughout the Homh.

WAKE FOREST. Correspondimc of Th Observer. Wsk Forest, Feb. . The on great event of Interest at Wak Fort ihls week waa the basketball gam between the team of Trinity College nd Wake Forest, played her y ester dy sfternoon. Trinity ha playad several basket ball gum with "Wak Forest and has made eom nobl effort to win, but so far ha never com out ahead. FRIGHT FUIXT BURIfED. Cha.

Bo when President I'oteat announced Thurs day morning at chapel exercise that Trinity might win this time unless the home team - was ' supported by th presence at the" game of practically every man In college, there jva an expreselon of uneasiness on the face of all and numerous expression of "MI be'there!" from the mouth. Thl apprehension-snd a hope that possibly the , Wake Foi est basketball team might for on time at least this year be equally- met, brought a large crowd to the gymnasium nan. The large hall had- been cleared of ap . .. i . , r sratus, chair and ; benched war Placed around tha sides, 'but '- these were Inadequate snd half or mora of the spectator ; wer compelled to stand.

The boy In old gold and black passed the ball with alertness and precision, and It was soon seen that they were too quick and well trained for their opponents. Trinity made a foul and Wake Forest scored on It. The latter team then made two more score by a goat from the floor and from thl on the. game waa one-smed, though extremely Interest ing and exciting. Before th first half had ended the contest was characterised by rough r ess and . the referee was compelled to call a halt several time on this account. So far Wake Forest claim the championship of North Carolina In basketball and will continue to till she can get a game with some other team In the State that will give u something Interesting. Mr. Crosier challenges also the colleges of South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama and Vir ginia, with whom he ha been trying to get games. The faculty ha extended a special Invitation to both houses of the Gen eral Assembly and to the State of ficer. Including the Supreme Court, to attend the anniversary celebration of the literary societies here next Friday. The exercises will consist of debate between representatives of the Euzellan and Phllomatheslan So cieties In the afternoon, and at night orations will be delivered by repre sentatives of the societies, followed by a general reception In the society halls and library. Some members of the Legislature have already made known their purpose to attend the anniversary. While most of the peo ple will come on the special train from Raleigh, thre. will be a large number on the morning train to at tend the debate in the afternoon, and" a good number of these will be legis lators. Final arrangements have been made for the special train from Raleigh. It will leave Raleigh at 7 c'clock Friday evening, and return ing will leave Wake Forest at 11:30 sharp that night; fare for the round trip 75 cents. Photographers were here this week taking pictures for the 1907 Wake Forest Howler, the college annual. The editors snd managers of the an nual purpose to get out this year the best annual that has ever been Issued from the college. A number of new features will be added and other Im provements made.

A concert will be given In the Wlngate Memorial Hall here to morrow evening week, the evening before the anniversary celebration of the literary societies. It wll be a musical treat and deserves a large audience, which we are sure It will have. There will be two or thre ot the best artists of Raleigh here to assist th Wak Forest Orchestra. The latter organisation has been at work for some time on selection for the concert. A number of the anni versary visitor will come' to Waka Forest In time for Ihls concert. The music lovers of Wske Forest are looking forward with great pleasure to this musical treat. The condition of Prof. L R. Mills, of the chair of pure mathematics. Is sbout the same.

Presklent Garfield's Murderer Was as Crazy as the Young Degenerate Is Alleged to Be. Richmond Times-Dispatch. The plea entered in behalf of Harrys, Tnaw tnat he thought he was com missioned by Providence to kill Stan ford White recalls that Charles J. Gulteau, who assassinated President Garfield, made a similar plea. Gulteau was beyond a doubt a 'crank," In fact, that designation first same Into popular notice In connec tion with Gulteau's crime. When he was first referred to as a "crank," many persons did not know what the term meant, and some of th news papers of the day were at pains to explain. At any rate, Gulteau was the first man to gain national noto riety as a "crank," and before his trial was ended he fully justified that characterisation. It waa shown from his wrltlncs that hla brain had for years been full of "cranky" no tlons. and he was never able to ex plain to the satisfaction of, anybody but himself his motive for "removing" the President, aa he styled his act. But according to hi own account he was entirely conscientious, and be lieved that he had performed the part of a patriot and public benefactor in slaying President Garfield. The day before he was executed, he said that he cared nothlns- for himself, ml he dreaded the retribution of the Deity on the American people If they should hang him. He drew a parallel be tween himself and the Saviour. "He waa God's man," said the assassin, and so am I." "I was directly in spired by the Deity to remove Presi dent Garfield. Can yon find any man, no matter what hi politics, who will not say It has resulted for the benefit of the party and th nation? It he and Blaine had ben permitted to continue aa they were going, thl country would be In war with Chile to-day. Tou knew It and I knew It. It wa a good thing." Yet Gulteau scouted the Idea that he was Insane. "I am as sane aa you are." said he to a reporter. ' "I know what I did and why I did It. Gar field tood In th way of th nation' duty. The Deity charged me with a duty. He Inspired m to remove th President of the United States, and as God's man I did what I was bid." But he was hanged. IFor Th Observer. TRICE BELOVED.

They claim that cases ar numer ous wnere to good delivered are .by no mean what the contract called fori Thl Is largely - due - to the. necessary nuctuauons in standards.' What is need ed, therefore, : . Js - -a standardisation Of cotton, in soma such way as th Depart ment of Agriculture la now at work In standardizing jfralns.. For thl the Bureau of Corporations ts. not prepared. and It would appear that the Agricul tural Department should be authorised to supplement its work by standardizing cotton as it I now -standardising grain, PLAN UPON -WHICH GRADUATIONS ' - MAT BE BASED. ,-,...' .-- At the Bureau of Plant Industry thl morning it y was stated that cotton Is graded principally on color and - cleanli ness and to a less degree on length and strength of fiber. The two latter qual ities are far the most Important, and in long staple markets they "receive greater attention, than elsewhere.. Egyp tian cotton Is ; lettered In a way to In dicate or describe Its character, and a plan was suggested by officials of the Bureau of Plant Industry whereby tha length, strength, lustre and cleanliness might be gauged and the graduations of cotton based thereupon. The scheme - set forth .. below Is only tentative and suggestive, but it Illus trates what the bureau conceives to be possible means oc approaching the problem of standardising cotton.. Let the length of the thread be graded In. some uch way a. th"tplIowfng: I ' , a. i: b. iv. c. J; o, a; b, va; . 1. Strength: A. very strong (to be determined by tensll tests); B, strong; C, fair; D, medium; E, weak; F, very weak. Lustre: A. superior: B. excellent: C. very good; Dgood; E, medium; F, poor. Cleanliness: , A. very clean; - B, elean; C, fairly clean; D, medium; B, dirty. F, very dirty. The description or any given , sample of cotton might be something like C, D, F. A. and tne expert would nave no difficulty In recognising at once the kind cf products thus described. Cotton middling, therefore, might be described by ust such standards, and so likewise with all other grades, it. wouia not result In throwing away the present no menclature, but in trlving It the most ac curate status possible, for though lustre nnd cleanliness admit of no more accur ate definition thas this now employed, the other two qualities lengtn anu trength, which are much more impor tant, may be precisely defined. Tms In brief, is the scheme proposed by th Bu reau of Plant Industry. A Journalist Without Arms. Pall Mall Gaxatte. A veritable Mark Tapley has been discovered In the mining district of Beaton Delval, says The Sheffield Telegraph. When he was a child of six, Mr. F. Hartshorns was caught in a steam plow and lost both his arms. Despit tm aepnvaiion, Mr. Hartshorns showed himself pushful. He loves the poems of "Chevy Chase." because It. tells of Widdrlngton, who When his legs were smitten off He foungt upon the stumps. ' Without arms, Mr. Hartshorne has conducted an extensive press corres pondence, using his teethf to write, and producing - an excellent call graphy. He has never given way, as weaker men might havo done. He Is married and has three children, and he does more with his teetn man many of his Journallstlo confreres do with a pair of hands.
