UNIVERSITY 130 YEARS OLD. |
Chapel Hill, Oct. 12.—One hundred
and thirty years ago today Gen. Wil
liam R. Davie and a handfull of zeal
ots in the cause of education, survivors
of a war of revolution, gathered here
at the corner of the old east building
and laid the cornerstone of the oldest
state university in America. Today
2,100 students and 155 faculty mem
bers and a host of friends asesmbled
here to pay homage to the memory of
the little band of loyal men who gave
this institution its birth.
Today the memories of alumni scat
tered to the four corners of the earth
were winging their way back to Chap
el Hill—to the University that some
knew in 1890 with a student body of
200 and a faculty of 19; to an insti
tution that others knew in 1910, with
a student body of 821 and a faculty of
78, and to a school that still others
knew in 1915 with a student body of
1,011 and faculty of 89.
More than 50 of the 65 organized
alumni associations were holding
meetings tonight to celebrate alma
mater’s birthday and to pledge anew
their faith and support in her ever in
creasing work.

$230,000 a day
in wages
In the past five years Southern Rail
way System has paid its employees
wages amounting to $442,000,000
an average of $230,000 a day—dis
tributed through the South in pur
chases and savings.
Average earnings of our employees
are now more than $1,500 a year, as
compared with SBBO in 1917. The rise
in wages has been greater than the
rise in the cost of living, so that the
families of 60,000 employees whose
livelihood is gained in Southern Rail
way service have happily been en
abled to raise their standards of living.
Our employees recognize that our
ability to pay attractive wages, with
out placing an unfair burden of freight
and passenger rates on the millions
of Southern families served by the
Southern, depends as much on their
efforts as ours.
By large expenditures of new capital
we have greatly increased the pro
ductive efficiency of the Southern
as a transportation machine, and the
loyal and faithful cooperation of our
employees is making this machine pro
duce its full measure of public service.
