AS 8ECUND-CLA83 HATTER. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 16v 1894. "The University Press" is fi nally a reality. It is very grati fying to all true advocates of pro gress to learn this. When in full operation, with the exception of Johns Hopdins, we may proudly say that we are the only Univer sity in the South which can claim a University Press. We'll get there bye-and-bye. , It may be slow now and we may not have the appropriation which we de serve, but we'll get there anyhow. We wonder if some philan thropic wealthy man couldn't be induced to help up the old'Uni versity a bit. We wonder that some rich old fellow,, wouldn't rather give his millions or thous ands to some poor struggling place, like this, where so much is accomplished on so little, than to those colleges or univer sities already rolling in wealth? Even centralization of people, of wealth. ' " The State is to be truly con gratulated on having the men she has to manage the finances of the University. It is indeed a matter of wonder that so much can be accomplished on so little. . This above mentioned quality of doing much on a little is being demonstrated on a smaller scale by our business manager. . Why don't you pay for the paper when you subscribe for it? Its only for getfulness with most of you to be sure, but the manager has to set tle the running bills of the paper. You should remember. It's hard ly right to shoulder so much on one man, a student at college, or a set of six, all students, for the Tar He EL makes no debts. It wishes to pay as it goes. You then should do your share. Come settle up. If a man really cannot afford to subscribe to the TAR HEEL, that's all right, we want him to read it all the same, if he wishes to. We want the paper to be in the hands of as many "University men as possible, but those of you who are able, we feel should subscribe and having subscribed should pay for it. Its a pretty mean thing to be always borrowing of your neighbor, in short sponging, be ing a small parasite. Where two m 2n room together, why sub scribe between you to the paper, if you don't wish each to have a copy. Gracious ! the poor edi tors get- nothing but abuse and criticism for their honest efforts. Rambler even somehow heard of a paper being not long since "refused." Well, if the Tar Heel isn't worth the 75 cents, it is the best we have now all the same; we hope it will improve. May be the baseball team wasn't worth the small subscription last year, nor the fool ball team, nor the Glee Club their admission charge, may be they'll all be good-for-nothing this year, but we think we would rather pay, if we could, than sit on the rock wall or listen at the window, in short refuse to pay for the Tar Heel," but read our neighbor's. How cau one be loyal to one lit tle part of the University in which he . is so deeply interested, and not loyal to it all, and yet call himself loyal ? The Charlotte Observer is one of the best dailies'in the South, ranking with the Times Demo crat and Constitution. North Carolina should be proud of .such a good paper when she hasn't a large city to support the same. One always gets the best news from the Observer. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. The first meeting of the North Carolina Historical Society for 1894 was held inthe History Lec ture Room on Tuesday,-. Feb. 6. The attendance was larger than at any meeting yet held and all who did attend felt well repaid. The programme carried out was interesting and showed the care ful preparation of those taking part. The interest of the work in the society is growing steadily each year. The number attend ing is larger and the success of his endeavors must be gratifying to the worthy President who is so, closely identified with the life of the body. In History as in other branches the University spirit i 1 growing. The students are not- not now content to receive the statement of one another but are going back to original sources, The manuscript, files of old news papers, autograph letters and rec ords in possession of the society gives facilities for the work not often seen. A large number of the class jn N. C. History are making .investigations, some in Colonial Records, some in rec ords and letters while other are using all of these. At the meeting the house was called to order by President Bat tle. No business was transacted except the receiving of members and the election of Prof. Alder man as, one of the Vice-Presidents. The first paper read was by the Secretary, Mr. Holland Thomp son. His subject, "The Tusco rora Conspiracy in Carolina" was one which he has been making an object of special research for some months. He spoke" of the lack of a connected account of this dark episode owing to the historians not having access to the material ; contained in Colo nial Records, and noted some mistakes heretofore made by writers upon this subject. The paper was an interesting and scholarly contribution to the li brary of the State. ; Mr. T. R. . Little showed how plainly the habits and manners of a people can be read from their newspapers. He compared a file of the anti-Revolutionary New berne Gazette with the modern daily. From : both articles and advertisements, he showed that the careful reader would draw con clusions regarding the life of the period. Some of the conclusions mentioned are ratherstartling to modern iders. Prof. Alderman reported some investigations which he had been making in regard to slavery in the Colony especially during the period from 1700 to 1720. He said that slaves were not then all negroes and told of the three kinds. They were, (t) "inden tured servants" who were held in bondage for a certain period, gen erally to pay their passage from Europe, (2) Indian slaves taken in war and (3) the negroes who were generally brought in from Virginia or South Carolina. Some of "earliest laws regarding both masters and servants were read and commented upon. The offences for which a white person might be put - into bondage were mentioned and the punishments for different crimes given. The penalties were generally light for that time. v 1 . ' The growth and present status of Foot Ball in Southern colleges is admirably presented in the January number of The Southern Magazine by J. Breckenridge Robertson, of the University of VirjrinU. The article is well illustrated '-'.with portraits and in. stantaneous photographs of men in play, aD(j views the game as played by the leading col. leges of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, nnd Ken. tucky. Only one Southern college team has yet crossed Mason and Dixon's line to try conclusions with their brothers of the North' yet, from the progress the Southern college boys have made in the past three yenrs, we expect to hear from them next seasion. Among the contributors to this number are John Fox, Jr., Robert Durns Wilson, William Baird, S. J. Shields, Robert 0. Toombs, and Frank M. Ricknell. THE SOUTHERN MAGAZINE, Louisville, Ky.
