; From the University.
The University Record for Octo
ber is just out. Of especial inter
est are statistics as to the students
and; information in regard to Uni
versity life.
On the 18th of October, one
month from the first day of the
8088
on, the enrollment was 480 in
academic, law, medical and
the!
pharmacy 'departments. This is
the largest enrollment ever reached
during the first month of any term,
and with the summer .school en
rollment, omitting duplicates; will
carry the total up to 609.
The following denominations are
represented : Methodist, Episcopal,
Baptist; Presbyterian, Lutheran.
Disciples, Christians, Disciples of
Christ, Moravian, Methodist Pro
testants, Dutch Reformed and Jew;
The new men of this year come
from sixty preparatory schools and
thirteen colleges and state univer
sities. ,
The j following trustees have
made gifts to the University:
General Julian S. Carr gives a
handsome dormitory building, now
in the course of erection, to cost
$18,000.
Mr. Henry Weil, of Goldsboro,
gives the library $1,000.
Mr. James Sprunt provides for
the publication of the Monographs
onj North Carolina and United
States History. V -
Mr. Jas. B. Lloyd, of Tarboro,
$10 prize for the best thesis on
"The Government Ownership of
Roads."
In the chemical department a
new course in dyeing and bleach
ing has been established for the
study of textile fibres, their prep
aration for bleaching, the colors
and dye stuffs, methods of dyeing
and the sizing and finishing of
cloth, thus giving the -principles
and theories of this side of the
mill ' industry and making the
practice intelligible. -
jThe University has more actual
students than any Southern Uni
versity north of" Texas and is
reaching the whole people as it has
never done before. During the
past two years it has loaned with
security and interest nearly six
thousand dollars from the Deems
fund, thereby aiding many needy
students. Over one-third of the
students are the sons of farmers,
which shows that it too is the
school of the farmer as befits an
agricultural state. Two-thirds of
the number of students are at the
University as the result of some
sacrifice. Nearly ' one-third are
supporting themselves by money
Which they have earned or borrow
ed. So strong is the spirit of self
help that seventy-nine students are
8UpDorting themselves by labor
while -in college, earning this half
term about three thousand dollars.
It is no exaggeration to say that
the University by its loan fund,
scholarships and. opportunity for
labor makes it possible for any
Worthy boy, however poor, to ob
tain in North Carolina as good an
education as rich boys are paying
elsewhere.
I Chapel Hill, N. C, Nov. 20.
J Asleep in Death. ;
1 Last Thursday was the saddest
and most solemn occasion that has
been witnessed in Frieden's church
in a long time. On that day was
laid to rest the mortal remains of
Miss Clara S. Tickle, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Tickle. For
about ten months she had been
suffering from lung trouble, which
ended in death on the morning of
the 15th, when she gently and
peacefully. passed away in the full
bloom of young, maidenhood, aged
20 years and 9 months,
j In her 14th year she was con
firmed a member ot Frieden's
church,' and lived a consistent
christian until death.
The unusually large concourse
of people who attended her funeral
attested to the high esteem in
which she was held. Frieden's
large church was filled with a sym
pathizing audience. It was a
touching scene to see her school
mates, the young ladies of Jeifer
son Academy, acting as pall-bearers
carrying the coffin into the
church, and then the young men
of the same institution bearing it
to the grave. It was deeply affect
ing to see those young people!
gather around the bier and weep
with breaking hearts over one they
so dearly loved. '
The funeral services were con
ducted by her pastor, who offered
comforting words from the lan
guage of Job 19:25-27.
She leaves a father, mother, two
sisters, two brothers, and a host of
relatives and friends to mourn her
departure.
The Forsyth county criminal
court last week sentenced four con
victs to the state penitentiary and
twenty-five to the county roads.

CHOOSE TODR DRUGGIST CAREFULLY.
A drngf ist can lo more harm or good than
most people give him credit for. There are dif
ferent qualities in drops Just as there are in dry
goods, and to the outsider all qualities go bj the
same name. The difference between pure, high
grade drugs and cheap, inferior drugs of the
same name, means the difference between keep,
ing sick and getting well. When a doctor writes
a prescription, he means best quality. When
some druggists fill a prescription, they think
onlr about big profits.
Choose your druggist carefully. .
