During the past two years It has loaned $3,849.25 from the Deems Fund thereby aiding 5" needy students. During the past 2i) years it hts aided about 8u0 needy young men by loans or scholarships. It is now giving free tuition fo 120 students, who could not otherwise be educated. Of these forty-two are preparing to teach. Fully oue-third of th 8iudents in the Unives.ity are aided by either loans or scholarships, arid over one-third are supporting themselves by money which the themselves have earned or have been f reed to b irrow. Tue spirit of self help is so sirong ac the University that thirty thrt e students, even while pur suing their studies are at the same time supporting themselves wholly or in pai t, by labor. They manage boarding club-, set type, work in laboratories, serve a stenographers and type-writers sell txtoks and clothing, give private instruction to other students, teach elassss in the village, clerk m the stores and dn mmy other kinds of work. The following brief statements, prepared by the young men themselves, will give aa idea of the spirit of economy that prevails at the University, as well as the spirit of selfsreliance that" en ables so many poor boys to get a. Uni versity education. It U not exaggera. tion to say that the University by its loan funds, scholarships and opportuni ties for labor makes it possible for any worthy boy, however poor, to obtain in North Carolina as good an education a3 rich boys obtain elsewhere, STATEMENTS BY STUDENTS.

The following unsolicited letter speaks for itself The young man is withJut a father, is very talented and is going through college partly by labor and partly by loans from the Deems Fund. He has a scholarship. Chapel Hill, N. C, Dec. 20, '94 "President G. T. Winston: ''Dear Sir: -TJie first term of this scholastic year has ended, and I think it my duty to thank you most grate fully for the help you have given me and the kindriessyou showed me when I first came. When I got out of money and had to have books you kindly lent some and put yourself to do little in convenience in many ways to help me; when I was naturally homesick and despondent you gave me so much en courgement and good advice, which could only be repaid by the gratef uly ness of my heart. Let me thank you again and again for the kindness you have shown me and substantial pe cuniary aid you have given. Jnst at the time when 1 was about to give up all hope of a University education you cam to my aid, and now 1 am deter mined that such an education shall be mine. Before I came here I had writ ten to so many schools, stating my condition aud asking fur work J'o piy my ray,aud being answered very coldly by all of them but ODe I was disheart ened, butyoii appreciated my condition and gave me the coveted aid. "Feelinga tnankfulness In my heart which cannot be expressed oh papr,and being determined that my life shall be such an one as to cause you no regret for the kindness you have showa and the aid you have given me. I am gratefully yours, To shut off b neb men from oppor tunities of higher education is to de prive North Carolina of strong leaders In all professions and occupations. It is not only false economy but i con trary, to the noblest impulses of human ity. But for the Uniyersity'at least 125 poor boys annually would be unable to obtain the benefits of higher education Shall the doors of the institution be closed to such men as these? vi'hat corresponding gain would the State thereby receive ? THE UNIVERSITY COSTS THE STA TE VERY LITTLE AND THE AVERAGE TAX-PAYER CONTRIBUTES LESS THAN FOUR CENTS A YEAR FOR ITS SUP PORT NOW. The Uuivers ty received from the State last ynr $30,000, being $20,000, regular and $10,000 special a'ppropria tion. The regular appropr atioa, if collected per capita, would amount to less than cents per annum tj each inhabitant; Out the tax is paid eotirely by property, and.the mass of the people in the State really contribute nothing toi's sopp it. '"A roan who pays only poll-tux co tfrihuies nothing. A man listed at $100 pays less than J of a cent annually to the regular appropriation, at $500 less thaa 4 cents, $1,000 le.s than 8 cents, at $5,000 less than 40 cents About nine-tenths of the tax-ptv. -" would pay les.than 8 cents a year r a appropriation of $20,000 lo the sup" p u t of the University.

Editorial Correspondence of the News and Observer Iram Waaington. li. C. March 29th. 5. The two real leaders of the Republi can party iu North Carolina todav are Jeter Pritchird and Tom Settle. They Represent its Inherited traditions anil prejuces, its culture, its aggressiveness, and around 'hem gather the two dis tinctive wings of the party in its new hopefulness and confidence. Both are Republicans and have never been any thing else. Mr. Settle has long enjoy ed such leisure and culture as wealth and pisition could confer. He has al ways had the passive, if not active, as sistance of influential family connec tions whenever he ha been an aspirant for office. tie has among his strong points ihe prestige of having never been defeated, though he has four times been opposed iu doubtful districts by foemen worthy of his steel. There never was an adage truer, or one that Droved Universal rtHlrthnea mnrn than "nothlntr Riie.p.ed IIVa gmpaows " 'I'hiu 1 ' traue, out ne nas gained it by an ex-, hibitlon of versatility, ahllitv in debate, and the quality of making friends. Jeter Pritchard, the other, idol of Re publicanism, is also voung and vigor ous. He has never been defeated but nce and then by Crawford, whose ability and popularity is such as to take the sting out of defeat. His fattier and his ancestors have been unlearned, hardy and uncultivated mountaineers a stock that hs given the world some of the biggest men that have lived. His father was killed by the Confederates because of trouble that grew out of hi ardent Unionism. Thin fact, early cmbitteied young Pritchard against Democracy, though there is no reason why it should have done so, be cause the Democratic party, like the Whig party, split half iu two on the Questions that led to secession., ana a-t many Democrats fought for the Union as for the Confederacy. But prejudice was particularly strong In his country against Democrats because there they stood as the representatives .of the Southern cause, and he drank it to the dregs in his early boyhood. It has not sweetened his life, but. believing De mocracy responsible for his father's tragic death, nobody has blamed his strong partisanship which early be-. cme a,partof hla life. That part of the old Union sentiment that hates Democracy, has made Jeter its idol, though thousands cf men, who hated secession, early quit allowing preju dice and dead issues to control . their political conviction,, and are consis tent Democrat-. On the other hand, Settle's father wis a Confederate soldier, and those ex-Confederates who are in the Kepub-. llcan party, regard him as their pecu liar representative, by virtue of his father's mantle which has fallen upon his young shoulders. . So much for the aitecedents of these two young leaders of North Carolina KepublioiiuHrn. 1 have touched upon their past because they represent two distinct types, and largely account for the ladic&l differences that have al ready developed, an 1 in part are re sponsible (next to overweing ambi tion) for their estrangement arid rival; ry. Both of them wanted to iio to the Senate. Sittle etrly saw that, inas much as he wa provided for by a seat in trie House, his only opportunity lay in being the compromise candidate. He saw also that Pritchard had the. ad vantage of all other candidates in.two particulars, viz: Marion Butler and Richmond Pearson. The first had newspaper and political influence. The second had boodle and a willingness" to use it to elect Pritchard. Fusion was Aliened out by Butler ami Pears ni 1 ne cor dition that Pritchard demand ed a compensation for becoming one of the Triumvirate ws that the two others should pledg their disshnnor, treir influence and tfoeir m ney to put iii.'B in the Senate. Tuey carried out their bargain to the letter. Settle saw this sooner than most people. He did not hope to defeat the arrangement of me conspirators by risking hisown defeat. He therefore brought out Hol lo n; encouraged Swart and Mott, and tn other Republican aspirants; and so muddied tbe waters as to make the renuit look xloubtlul fo a tune, it was doubtful until Butler and Pearson ued the agencies with which they conjure, aud then the plot was carried oot- Ho'.toa fell outside the breast-works, I licit was in reality no defeat for 11 oU ion. Hk was as putty ia Settle's hands, tirl the young Congressman was sad -d-'aud more crushed by Prifcaard's octmn. It was known in naietgn , id here in Washington to be a combat t. . - een SettVe and Pritchard for pr 'u.c intbe Republican pary. Settle tclt the defeat keenly, and Tom Reed knows bo ksenly better than anybody eloe. Thl was the flrat round between these t o obatants, who are rrally lo po.itics more lot gladiatorial purpose tuan to advance any theory of govern ment. Settle was knocked out, but, as be was not the caaidtte defeated, - tb4 -i4n;ticance of IIjUou's difeat was no, gem rally known. Now for the "second round. Both are in trtioing. Senator Pritchard is U-f, htvmg j ist returned from Geor gia wbre He went to ee Gov. McKm- iy.

He has a son named " WU liara McKinley Pritchard, and the Ohio Eta tee man does not go father In believeing that prosperity is to be e cured by taxing all the people for the enrichment ! the few than North Carolina's Senator from the West. 2. Pritchard knows that Tom Settle ha pledged North Carolina to Tom Iteed, and that it Reed should be elec ted. Settle will control the North Carolina patronage, and, perhaps, be electee to the Senate if the Republi cans win again in Norta Carolina. I he tight in the Republican pv ty, as outlined by Prlxhard and Settle will beMcKinIey vs. Reed, but in reality it will be a contest for Boss between Pritchard and Settle. It W go'ng to be an interesting fight. While all this is being mapped out here at headquarters and Pritchard" and Settle's followers are laying their pipes In compliance with the directions; there is a Republican, called the Iron Duke, milking cows near Statesvill. who is saying nothing, lie has always been a John Shermau man. swallowing bU gldcure together with all other nostrums prepared by the Bnckeye financier. But he baa now turned his bick on Sherman, McKinley, Reed Allison and the ther ereat ILrht of the Republican party (all of whom are "gohl bugs") and threatens to hcd delegation to tbe Republican Nation al convention to vote fir a frea coin age mn foi the Presidency, or to se cede from the party upon failure to secure a free coinage plank and a free coinage candidate. He may be for Cam eion,;or he tntv be for "some good Western man," but his quiet and confident position is making Tom and Jeter lose some sle-p these nights.

Two mem bers of the committee were drunk rev erul di-ys, the other ha done unmanly things. The committee has closed its sittings, and it ought not to meet again.

Campbell had been here drunk alt the while. Phillips got drunk as soon as he came back. Bry an, of Chatham, managed to get Phil lip1" sober and a meeting was held. Mr. Campbell, the member of the Hoube from Cherokee county, remark ed to. some one the other day : am going -to' break my stick over the held of some of these newspapermen before I leave Raleigh." The trouble with Campbell is that he hasn't been sober enough to tell the differencs between a ne'wsnaper man and a street car for several days; hence nobody gets hurt. SUORCHINO LETTER.
