Visitors are beginning to gather in for the final days and town and college have donned a holiday appearance. Owing t an accident to the gas plant the second students' recital, which was to have taken place Friday night, had to be postponed until this afternoon. But regardless of wind and rain, of thunder and lightning the friends and relatives of the fair young ladles were to be found waiting for the hour. wh6n the perform ance would begin. The music was all of a fine order and did great credit to those taking part which the readings called forth words of applause. e As the evening sun went behind the clouds, the rain abated and left a lull, whloh allowed a very good audience to reassemble in the auditorium last night to listen to the debaters' contest of the Fhllomethean Society.

Large crowds attended the various exercises and theeather was ideal. -'.,,-,. ... ....... -.'.... .. ,. The annual sermon by Rev. Dr. Wm. S. Long was a very able discourse upon the "Seen and Unseen Forces In Life.'VIt was a powerful appeal to young people of culture to heed the call to higher things and seek after the noblest In life. The literary 1 address by Dr. E. W. Sikes, of Wake Forest College, was upon "Epochs in Government," and tor over an hour he held the attention of an au dience that numbered about 600. He was eloquent, witty and instructive In his ad dres and greatly pleased all who heard him. There were over 100 visiting alumni here for meeting of the Alumni Association, and the exercises on Monday evening were the best yet held by the association. The speakers were Supt. J. B. Robert son, of J900, of the Graham ' graded schools; Rev. J. S. Hlatt, of 1005, of the Methodist church, and Mr. W. D. Wolfe, of the claps Of 1906.

' ' Movement to Remodel the Associa tion Due to Belief That Condition or. Affairs Has Not Been Satisfactory. Special to The Observer. Chapel Hill. May 26. An article published recently In some of : the State papers concerning the recent changes voted by the athletic associ ation of the University in the manage ment of Its athletics spoke of the mat ter as follows: ' . ; "The athletics of the University of North Carolina will next year be con trolled by ribn-fraternlty men. A doz en years ago Intense felling existed at the University between fraternity and non-fraternity men, but It abated and it was hoped that the war would not be renewed. The hope was vain, how ever, and the non-frats propose to take charge of affairs." , Such is not the case, however. The origin of the present movement in re gard to the University's athletics had nothing to do with the factional poll- tics of the college. Its rise was due to a feeling that the condition of athlet Jes at the University was not as statls factory as it should be, largely owing to a lack of interest notable in the members -of the athletic association. The natural remedy for this state of affairs seemed to lie fn remodeling the athletic association and putting Into the hands of its student members their business, which is now handled largely by an advisory committee com posed jointly of members ,of the fac ulty and of the student b6dy. The as sumption of direct responsibility In their own affairs should, it seemed, arouse .greater interest in athletics. The present movement has no other significance. It is not a movement by any faction of the college upon any other faction, but purposes solely to place the affairs of the athletic associ ation in the hands of its members, fraternity men and non-fraternity men alike. Thus it can in no wise be considered a Just cause for the revival of any feeling that may have at any time existed between the fraternity men and non-fraternity men. The pur- pose of the movement it to better con ditions in the athletics of the Uni versity, both fraternity men and non fralernity men to play a part, ' and with this in view it should receive the support of every loyal University man.

Special to The Observer. , Salisbury, May 26. Dr. LeRoy J. Meroney, who has been manager of the Meroney Theatre, of which he is half ewner, leaves this week for Phil adelphia, where he may spend the summer. His plans are not definite for the next season, though he may lease his theatre, the handsomest one in North Carolina. The theatrical season under A hls management has been eminently successful, has been even brilliant, and It is to be doubted if any town twice Salisbury's size, ha had the attractions that came here. His gate receipts' have not rewarded his efforts to give Salisbury the best, however. For the coming season, Dr. Meroney has booked even better at tractions than In the past and ar Tanged It so that lovers of . art will not suffer. The city regrets to lose one of its . boys and his sister, Miss Helena Meroney, who has worked with him so faithfully. FOR SALE Hendersonville, N. 0.
