WITH UNIVEHSITY. Correspondence of The Observer. ' , Chapel HIU, March 21. The Inter est of the . college U now becoming thoroughly aroused In baseball. The approach of tlY heat of the season on the college dliaond Is partly respon sible for this, but the main factor l to be found In the high clan of the practice games played between the Varsity and Scrub, every afternoon. It Ib not necessary for the students to wait for a scheduled game in pr der to see some pretty ball-playing. All that they need Vo do Is to go out on the athletic field any afternoon and ee a contest close fought to the finish. It is cIoho, too, not because the Varsity is wflleak, but because the Scrub Is stronjr. So closely are the teams matched that every mrtn on the Varsity has to keep on the move in order to fetl reasonably certnln of his position. The result is calcu lated to be a winning team and In the meantime the studens crowd the sidelines every day to enjoy viome good baseball. Within the next seven iilajys 'the Varalty has some toutch work ahead of It. To-day It mets the Wake Forest boys at Wake Fonst In a con test that Is likely to prove exciting. Monday begins the real season at Chapel Hill with a game with La Kayette, and a second one follows on Tuesday with the same college. On Wednesday will come the. Cornell game, also at Chapel Hill, and on Sat urday the Guilford game at Greens boro. All of these games are hard ones and from ihcir results the real strength of Carolina may, beyond doubt, bo computed The Indications ara that he will not be found weak.

Pope, Osceola, Arkansas., .The students and other of the com munity bad the pleasure of listening to a very interesting address delivered by President Kilgo last evening In ' tbe Young Men's Christian Association hall as one of the year's faculty lectures. "A Chapter From My Early EducaUonal Experiences" was the subject which Dr. Kllgo used, and what he had to say was very new and Interesting to all present. He spoka of his early child hood, of life In a Methodist parsonage In tho stirring times of the civil war. He paid an eloquent tribute to his fath er and mother. The former was a de scendant of Scotch-Irish fplk and had every outward mark and every Inner duality of that peoplo, being possessed especially with an unyielding will and his own notions and convlotions of things. He received only a year's schooling, but that gave him a yearning for knowledge, which lasted all his days, and tho education of his children was a ruling passion of his life. Every sacri fice was made with that end in view. "It was no small thing." said the speak er, "to have tieen a member of a home over which a man of this type ruled." Of his mother he said: "She heartily secondud the alms of my father, and turned many a good calculation Into the enterprise." After lamenting the new fangled ways of teaching and bringing up children which have come Into the South In these latter days, Dr. Kllgo told of the begin ning of his education. It began on the plantation of his grandmother, when he was 11 years of age. in the cotton field picking the fleecy fiber. In a few years he knew how to do everything to bo done on a farm where all that is neces sary for a farmer to "live at home" was produced. His clear and vivid reminiscences of the various tasks which It fell to his lot to perform touched cords of appreciative sympathy in many of tho hearts of those present. The account he gave of the way In which he worshiped Tobe, the driver of the big four-horse teum, us a hero was very powerful and realistic. His closing words were about the old plantation negroes. "Old 'Uncle George.' 'Mammy Jane and Tobe have gone out of the earth, but I shall always love their memory. They loved me and showed It In a multitude of ways. 1 am the friend of the negro and' I have faith in his race. George and Jane and Tobe were negroes and they knew how to love wl'ii an unselfish love, and a race that has In It the power to love may raise, adn lie It far from me to hinder them In the rising." The address lasted for only three-quarters of an hour, yet in that short space he revealed to the audience many features and phases of his life and experience which they had never surmised In the Irupt. One of the remaining lectures of the spring will be liy ex-President Crowell. WAKE FOREST. i correspondence of The Observer. Wake Forest, March 22. Copy for the new catalogue of the college was sent to the printers this week. Keferrlng to tne i change In entrance requirements already j mentioned the catalogue will read as follows: 'Kntrance requirements arc dealgnat cd In terms of units, a unit being a course of five perlqds weekly through out an acadauiic yenr of the preparatory school. Thus, algebra through quadra tics, which Is usually studied five periods weekly throughout the year, has the value of ono unit. "A minimum of 14 units Is required for admission to the college. Twelve of these H units are prescribed as folloks: English i units, mathematics 3H units, languages other than English 3V4 units, history 2 units, science 1 unit. The 2 remaining units are elective and may be chosen from any of the oth er academic studies named In the cata logue or they may be made up from ad vanced work offered in any of tho pre scribed studies given above.

C, March 23.-Coach Laval Is putting the ball team through some strenuous practice now. He says the game played here Tuesday with the "Gamo Cocks.? of Columbia, was the best drill possible for the boys. The score of 8 to 1 does not at all reveal the strength of Ersklne's team. Moore, Ersklue'a "big" new pitcher, showed up well and will no doubt win many laurels before the season Is over. The Columbia State In quoting one of the leaguer's account of the came says: "The college boys have a good team and in the field work they are very fast All In all, the Seceders have a fairly good team and have also a good chance for the State college pennant" The team has practically been selected. Some sub stitutes may be made yet, not because of any weakness in tho team, but be caus Ersklne's second or scrub team Is tha strongest, all round, she has ever had. The present line-up is with Moore and Riddle in the box. McCower catcher, O. Brownlee at first, Latimer at second, and Wldeman, the fastest college play er In the State, at third: Klrkpa trick, L. Brownlee and Ramsey have the left right and centre fields, respectively. Rev. Plato T. Durham, of Charlotte, has bfen selected by tho senior class of Ersklne k preach the baccalaureate sermon before the students of Ersklne and those qf the Due West Female Col lege. There will be no school in either of the colleges here Monday, the 26th. It is the weekly holiday of the Female Col lege, and Ersklne and the Theological Seminary will give a special holiday. From 8 to 10 p. m. a reception will be given in the parlors of the Female Col lege. The Kentucky boy who was suspended from college for participating in the negro row. has been reinstated at the earnest solicitation of the student body. Prof. L C. Galloway has been confin ed to his room for a week with illness. He expects to be able to resume his work Tuesday. A letter from Rev. William Duncan, expressing his appreciation for the kind ness shown him by the Ersklne boys and his interest In the work here, was read before the Young Men's Christian Association Sabbath night Mr. Duncat Is a great favorite with the boys here. He will always find a welcome at Ers klne Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

But the legal battle Is ended, and it is "23" for Mattle. Recently Sheriff Ru ford, of Newberry, came to Asheville and placed Mattle Williams under ar rest. He charged the woman with the embezzlement of $51 from the Zlon Horn Aid Society. At first the wo- i man consented to return to Newberry and face her accusers. Later, however, she declined Then the Governor of South Carolina roquested that the Governor of North Carolina Issue , requisition papers for the return of Mattle. The papers were duly Issued. Still there yvas delay. Able counsel had been employed to defend the wo man and the charge of peonage was Interposed. One continues to hesr discussion, In political circles, of the announcement that the collector s office is to be mov ed from Asheville to Btatevlllc It was stated at the office that Collector ' Hrown had already gone to fltatevllle, his home, to make arrangements about moving the office, but that It was not known Just when the office i stuff would leave Asheville. One thing appears certain, and that la that Ashe ville will not, fop a time at least, lose any considerable number of residents I by reason of transfer of the office to i anoiner tow n. mo member or tneornce j fdrca will resign. It was facetiously ! remarked that that man had never boon born who would not follow a government Job to the uttermost ends of the oiirth, but the families of most of those holding positions In the office will remain In Asheville. It was ascertained that there had been no discussion of the probable successor of Col. T. B. Long, whose death occurred recently. Something , was said to Collector Drown about this but the collector, who personally saw to the draping of Col. Long's desk in the revenue office, replied that the proper respect would be paid to Col, Long's memory before tha matter of PAVED HER SON'S LIFE. Tho hsnplost mother In the little town of Ava.

Yandle .Bros., sub-contractors, engaged I nbullding a double track for the Southern Railway Company be tween Asheville and Knoxvllle and tor the past several weeks at work across the French Broad river from River side park and the "Egypt'' sections, have been enjoined by order of Judge Cook, of Superior Court, and if any more rocks are thrown across the riv er the aforesaid contractors will be required to show cause why they should not be attached for contempt or court. The climax In the blasting: operations of the past several weeks was reached yesterday afternoon when a great discharge of powder and dyna mite sent a shower of rocks across the river, away Into the big road on the sid of the hill and did damage to Riverside Park to the extent of at least $500. The action of the Asheville Elec tric Company In enjoining Tandle Bros, from further reckless and dan gerous blasting will b good news to the people of Riverside section and also to those residents of Pearson drive who have been greatly Incon venienced and In Instances damaged by the blasting operations. During the past several weeks rocks have been thrown across the river, striking tho roofs of small houses along the river bottom and literally tearing away the covering. These roofless structures, It Is said, stand as evidence now of the ruthless manner In which stones wefe hurled across the river. In the Pear son drive and Montford avenue sec tions, fully one-fourth of a mile dis tant, plastering has been shaken from the walls of residences and the mor tar between bricks In chimneys and foundations jarred loose. The people have complained bitterly, but the au thorities seemed powerless to act. Now th'e Asheville Electric "Company has acted and In prompt and decisive manner. The blasting operations have not stopped, but the discharges are now being made with due care and respect to the order of Judge Cook. A Failure. Philadelphia Record.
