A Visitor at Chapel Hill Look Over The Town AND GIVES A FEWrblXTEBS J 1 10 Lditor of The Rkcohdeb While ou a Flying Trip to This Booming College Town, Loams , Many Things of Interest to the People of Orange and the En tire State. Every freight conductor on the line of the Southern Railway will tell you that there is more freight shipped to Chapel Hill than to any town of twice iU size on the road. ' And while this may he ex plained in part by the fact that. far at least ten months in the year, there are between four and five hundred students to be pro vided for, it does not explain the amount of brick and lumber', sash, doors, blinds and other building material which is billed for this erstwhile quiet and apparently nmsned college town. Steange as it may seem, Chapel Hill in on a boom. If you do not believe it ask White Bros., of Mebane, who have recently had contracts for au electric light building; the D. K. E. hall, erect ed by the students; the new resi dences of Professor Cobb, Dr. Ball. and others, all now near comple tion and each handsome and com plete in its way. The editor of the Rkcokdeii took a flying trip to Chapel Hill the other day. Those who have made an excursion on Captain Smith's train will appreciate this joke one of our choicest (two for a nickel.) We offered to send him the Rkookdkb, at the usual rates, to put him to sleep while on his way to end from University Station, but he said he did not take any f aper it took all of his time to look after his train and see that the passengers did not jump off. We then offered to throw m a box of axle grease, which he refused with scorn, ex plaining that he liked music and would not stand any monkey work with his car wheels. And the music i rtill on. At the Kluttz hotel, where we were pleasantly entertained, we found about a hundred healthy anil consequently hungry students who spread desolation through an acre of cutlaid pie at one sitting, and w ho ate, like Milo the centu rion, an ox at a single meal. Xo wonder that the grocery business is on the move at Chapel Hill. The other two hotels were equally crowded, and the woods were full of them. The official report gives the number as follows: . Craduntes 8 Seniors tO Juniors ! Sophomores 67 Freshmen 134 Medical 27 I4W 4.1 Teachers in Sum. School 140 Total Counted twice .,15 10 Actual total m The men composing the Uni versity faculty are not of the kind whoso wisdom is confined between tho lids of college text books. Thiv are fullv abreast with the 0 tiincn, not only as regards educa tional advancement but material progress. They recognize the fact that an educational institu tion the same as an individual, cannot afford to stand still or to sacrifice physical well being for tho intellectual. Acting on the theory that healthy minds make healthy bodies, and tico versa, athletic sports are indulged in, and student! are encouraged to do yclop manly strength along with literury attainments. Presi dent Winston, like the practical bUHincsj man that hn is, declared that he saw no sense in shutting up a building like memorial hall 30 2 days in the yea r, a ltd usi np it only three during commence ment week when it could bo oc cupied with pleasure aud profit the year round. Carrying out this idea, the seats have been re moved and the hall is now con verted temporarily into a skating rink, which 'will afford pleasant recreation, when the weather is unfavorable to out door sports. Professor Gore, whose name is somewhat suggestive, but who withal is a mild-mannered man with big brain aud modern ideas, is the moving spirit in the num erous enterprises by which the State University has profited dur ing tho past few vears It is to his energy that Chapel Hill owes the putting in of the electric light plant, which will light uot only the college, buildings but many private Ifotnes. As president of the company and one of the prin cipal stock holders, he has person ally supervised the work and pushed it through to a successful finish. The lights were turned on this week, with Mr. L G. IV ley in charge. j Postmaster Kirkland is making a gallant fight for a new post of fice building, and if he does not get it somebody in Chapel Hill j will be sauJy wanting in ordinary; business judgment to say nothing ! of public spirit and town pride.; Tho present quarters the best which thoigovcrnment has, uu to this time, been able to secure- are wholly inadequate to the needs and requirements of a place which handles as much mail as must of uecessity, be handled here. The building is not only old and un sightly, but so small as to scarce ly allow the post master and his assistant to turn round, aud their work is done at great personal in convenience and oftentimes actual discomfort. Mr. Kirkland him self told tis that during the recent hot spell when the doors had to be closed while they were open ing the mail, the ventilation was so poor and the room so small that the sensation was that of be ing enclosed in a hot oven and he was on the point of fainting. Having made up his mind that he could not stand it any longer, he requested that the post office inspector be sent to investgute the matter ami recommend improve ments. He had gone to the trouble to get np a plan by which the present building at the ex--; tremcly small outlay of 1 143 could 1 converted into an at tractive, conimcdiou, comfortable and convenient office. The in spector came, accepted the plan, saw the party owning the proper ty and left in the full expectation that the contemplated improve ments would be made without do lay. But it appears that after thinking tho matter over, the owner could not see that by spend ing 143 now and receiving from the government $100 a year rent instead of $ I, the price now paid, the outlay wonld prove a profit able Investment. Chapel Hill is at last to have a real newspaper. Many of ti e leadine business men like D. Mc - Caulcy.J. I. Webb aud then whom we could name, believe i that Chapel Hill is a good point for a live (taper. Mr. Thomas, who is a good printer and also foreman of the University Pre, will direct the pol'ry of tl,e jur calistic venture. Having, like Colonel William Shelburn, of Durham, "gotten rid ofhUincom potent help," which cost him along with others, tome thing bo - side sleep, he taye he will make i success of It. BARHAM MAKES A SPEECH. Large Crowd Preaent at The Farmers' Tuesday. THE ; OPEX1XG A SIVCESS- i 1 he New Warehouse Firm of Riley, Barbara & Co. Starts Off : In (Srcat Shane Big Breaks and Good Prices are the Record of the First Day's Business, Capt. Cladius Barbara, alias "Fish," the noted auctioneer, ap peared in a new role on tho op ening day of the Farmers' Ware nouse at t'urnum. J to made a speech to the farmers and buyers which elicited much applause. Tom Martin's dray was turned into a "float" from which the buyers sent up "three cheers aud tiger" for Barbara and tiie Fanners Warehouse. A Rkcukder reporter there, and is able to give his speech ver batim. It was as follows: "Gentlemen asn Friends: Yes, it is a fact that Mr. Riley, Mr. Allen aud I have rented this, tho old Farmers' Warehouse, and we have appointed to-day as the timo for launching our little leaf tobacco craft. Mr. Riley and I ( Mr. Allen I shall speak of later) are experienced engineers ou such croft, and by some might be con sidered experts, though, of course, our extreme modesty will not al low us to say this. Now, gentle men, we are very desirous, j can assure you, of making a successful trip of this, our new enterprise. While we are veterans in the auctioneering department, yet as proprietors it is something new for us. Now if on our part ener gy, push, prompt and honest deal ing with our friends should tend to accomplish this end, we assure you, together with the approval of kind Providence and with the aid and support of the Durham Tobacco Board of Trade, and the patronage of our many Farmer friends, wc feel safe in saying, that we will run this craft clear of rocks, shoals and breakers, and we trust, make a clean landing on the Wautiful beach of Pros perity. Just here I might as. well tell you gentlemen that we expect to sell our tobaccos straight from our farmer and shipping friends, of course giving our "piuhookers" carte blanche; in other words, we do not expect to buy a load of to bacco at the barn doors, beintr t" posed to this prr-Viei Dd " lieve ; detrimental to this or any other market However, we do not object to and of our opponents pleasing themselves in this re spent, and success to all of them who think otherwise. Allow me now to introduce Mr. Riley, engineer number two of this little craft. He is an expe rienced and safe runner, and while steaming up this beautiful stream may it ucver be necessary for him to reverse his machinery from any pecuniary impediments ahead. While ascending this stream we trust of prosperity may we never have the misfortune of meeting either of our oppoueuUi. I now have the pleasure of in tmduchur Mr. Joe. Allen whom you all know, being one of the pi- - f-f oncers in the tobacco business, aud agentleman of sterling worth, correct in an oi nis aeaiings, courteous and obliging. He Is purser of this little craft; has the key of the exchequer box in which I am glad to tell you we have an abundance of boodle to pay the f rmers for all the tobacco they may bring us." Notwithstanding the weather so unfavorable to handling of to kcco, tho breaks were large on .the opening day and the prices I more than satisfactory. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.
