ThU general director has --not ytt teen elected but he wKl be chcw before the next session opens. Another improvement will be made in the athletio affairs of the institu tion, it ia hoped, at the beginning of the fall term. At-a student mays meeting held late in the term jnsl V4,"i t- discuss the condlt:on t.f ath letics at the University it was decided to inaugurate some sweeping changes in the management of the athletic as sociation's business. .' : Heretofore this business has been at tended to almost entirely by an ad visory committee, composed of mem bers of the faculty and of the student body, Furthermore, there has been no fee charged for membership in the; athletic association, and hsnce the as sociation has come to occupy a posi tion of minor importance. It Is ' -bt lleved that much of. a cercain lack of interest in athletics at the University can be traced to this." Naturally, In onler to remedy affair.? it la nece eary to give to the athletic associa tion a more Btable nature. For this reason it, was voted at the mass-meeting that a committee be appointed to draw up constitution for 1 the or ganization. This committee " consists of Messrs. J. J, Parker, of Monroe, president of the class of 1907; Stahle Unn, of Salisbury; also a graduate of the last commencement, and W. , P. Stacy, of the rising Senior class. These gentlemen will attend the Uni versity law school during the summer, and will draw-aip the constitution dur ing its session.. Among other things this constitution will require the pay ment of a definite fee for membership in the association.' It is (planned that the payment of thla fe shall not only entitle a student to vote and hold af fflce in the association, but also to a season ticket 'to all games played cn the Hill.; It la believed that this ar rangement -will assure the association of a larger Income from the student body, and will also make cenaln a larger attendance at all athletic con tests played here. Both of these are to be greatly desired. . . ... The constitution, as planned, vm also call for the election of all man agers of athletic teams by the athletic association as a whole, not by the ad sory committee, as at present .The reason for this change- ia that it is believed that the : tuderta -r large are more able to size up one af ther number and select the right man than are a fewimen Joined in a committee, the rulings of which are obliged to be more or ' less arbitrary. There was considerable opposition to the changes, as proposed, but they were carried by a large majority. The new constitu tion of the athletic association is to be submitted to go into effect next falh Its adoption, win, it w believed.: mark the beginning of a new era la the growth of University athletics. Dr. w. DeB. Mac Nlder has gone to Chicago , where he will pursun vestlgatlon in the pathological labo ratories of the University of Chica go during, the summer. Mr. L. W.

MR. TILUXGJUSTS MOTIVES. He Feels That They Have Been Im pugned and Makes a Statements Corrects Some Misleading Inipres ons as to IUs Connection With the EfTort to lief onn the School for the Deaf. To the Editor of The Observer; In the report given in your issue of June 7 relative to the recent annual meeting of the directors of the School for the Deaf at Morganton were two items about .which I feel impelled to say something, to the public. One of these items stated that the office of chaplain had been abolished, but on reconsideration was reestablish ed and Prof. David R. TilUnghast (who is my father) retained In the position. It so happens that I have been mak ing an earnest effort to secure reform in that Institution as to certain partic ulars. It also happens that interested or ill-informed persons and newspa pers have assured the publics that this effort on myv part was actuated; by mere malice the reply always made to such efforts, since the world began. It la due to this combination of cir cumstances, I suppose, that after the above news Item appeared Inquiry was made of me, whether I would now press the matter of reform further or drop r it. This inquiry reveals to me the fact that some may think the somewhat singular action of the board In deciding on second thought it re tain my father's service In the insti tution was the result of at least a ta-clt understanding with ; me,' under which I on my part ,was to drop fur ther reform effort. Indeed, I have been reliably informed that the Governor himself was ftold by some one that I might be thus "quieted," the evident intention being to discredit my cause in his eyes..' -...--' . : Now; while It is true that the job hunter and grafer Is abroad in the land these days, yet there are honorr able men' sill, not a few, whose civic activities are Inot Inspired by expec tation of personal or family profit. Slnce.lt was never from motives of personal or family interest, that I in itiated the present struggle for re form, my future action will not be in fluenced one way or the other by any thing done touching my father's status in the Institution. ; ' Honesty and common sense reaulre me to say that my father was one of a number, who felt; that all was not right in the institution, and eo when acting, m behalf of all I acted for him as well. Because my father hap pened to - be among those deaf 'and dumb persons who desired a cham pion, should I therefore have , stood back? 'Let the deaf mutes of North Carolina set -me down as a traitor and a grafter, it ever I desert their cause in exchange for any advantage to my kinsman. None knpw better than these same deaf people that the last per son in this State to acquiesce in such an arrangement for personal : advan tage is David R. Tillinghast. If you know any deaf mute in the State who was. educated at the State institution, ask him or her what the life-work of this man has, been to the deaf peo ple of Carolina for a generation. While speaking of the nature Of my motives In this affair, I will here ven ture to add that all the public insinu ations hitherto made had no official basis whatever. Commissioner Beck- wlth In his findings upon the evidence 1 produced at the December Investiga tion not only did not find that my action in the premises was Inspired by improper motives, but did con clude his report with the declaration w- ill tzlltT quality ccr.net Is pre iuccJL titer valuo hi nsver teea Iiovru That' what has tzzds thsra the largcsi-sclllrj cigarettes ia ths world everybody's favcxit everywhere. in? !

With reference to the second news Item regarding the directors' meet-x ing I will also make ft statement. Prof. M.-H. Holt, one of the directors, sought to discredit and belittle .the re cent reform efforts by saylnsr that nothing was wrong in the Institution, but that all the trouble was caused by disgruntled "peanut politicians" of Morganton. As the chief offender, if it be an offense to turn dn the light in a . public tax-supported Institution, I can state that the community of Mor ganton has had nothing whatever to do with my action in reference to the institution, did hot "back" me, or have anything whatever to do with it. I found that Morganton lawyers were disinclined to become attorneys for' me In the matter, slpce It concerned a local Institution, and I quite under stood and respected their feeling. During the Investigation, although It was public, not half a dozen citizens of the town attended the sessions. In fact, to say that the community or any Influential portion of it has been hostile to . the institution seems ab surd to one well acquainted with what Is dally said and thought on Its streets. It is true that, ih April last the community was much disturbed over the suicide of Miss Jessie Ball (a teacher in the Institution) owing to certain clrcumstanc.es surrounding the trageay. Being rnext .floor to tne in stitution many things became known in 'Morganton that are never known throughout the State, and pause com- ment-euch. for Instance, as the sing ular coincidence that o'f air the per sona connected With the institution at the time of the Investigation, who gave testimony not flattering to the man agement, L' one fills a sulolde's grave, one was , moved to resign weeks : be fore vacation, two have, been dis charged one was dropped, but for some reason restored to hla position next day, and the : only two; not dls tur' ed .in. any way were .the son and nep ew respectively of a director.

Pains in , the stomach, colic and diar rhoea are Quickly relieved by the use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy."'. :.:;;".-!..':,.. probably do some thinking, and talk ing; even,' over so striking a coinci dence, surely tne people of Morgan ton 4 are not to be denounced by a director, supposing they do show kconcern over the meaning of such developments. In fat, I would suggest that it is a little curious for the au thorities of a State-supported institu tion, one that belongs to all the peo ple, to resent in fine frenzy of right edus wrath' all criticism of their man agement, seeking to throw opprobri um on citizens who exercise this right. Perhaps it would be well for the State at large to get interested and make in quiries Into the matter. I can well understand how under some conditions it is peculiarly irritating to have the public let Into everything and stirred up to ask questions. It seems a pity to bring stormy times, wjiere all was se cluded peace, but how pure and brac ing the atmosphere usually becomes- after a storm r Publicity often acts like sunlight and air, when turned into a place not kltherto sufficiently ventilated.
