That the Tar Heel failed to
make its appearance last week was
not the fault of the editors, but the
fault of our patrons. Our business
manager unfortunately failed to
make his calls until after the first
Trinity game and, consequently,
found everybody in a state of finan
cial defunction.
The Tar Heel can't be run and
paid for if subscribers don't put
themselves to the trouble of paying
their subscriptions. We have spok
en of this several times, and sincere
ly hope that both college and out-of-college,
subscribers will see that
their subscriptions are paid-in doing-
so you will save us further trou
ble and inconvenience.
The base-ball season for 1898 is
now a part of history. The record
made by the 'Varsity is all that we
could have desired.
Starting out with no very prom
ising prospects, without a pitcher
or catcher, we suffered grave doubts
as to whether we would be able to
put out a team that would come up
to the standard set by our former
teams. But with a winning deter
mination, Capt. Winston went to
work with what be. had. Coach
Reynolds came to the rescue, and
the men began to show what stuff
they were made of. In Lawson we
found a pitcher that was unexcelled;
in Graves and Gvvaltuey we found
catchers able to hold him; and we
soon realized that we had a team
that would compare favorably With
any the University ever ; put out.
Of fourteen games we lost 'two
one with Lafayette and one with
Trinity. Each, of these teams we
afterwards beat, thus establishing
our superiority. That we were
prevented from meeting Virginia
was unfortunate. Had we done so
we feel warranted in believing that
"Championship" would now be in
scribed on the banner of the 'Varsi
ty. Be that as it may, we are proud
of our team, and proud of the record
it has made.
A large amount of the success of
the team is to be ascribed to Mr.
Reynolds. His couching has been
invaluable. Kor making men get
right down to business we never
aw his tijiul; and that is what is
necessary in developing a base
ball or foot-ball team.
If the 'Varsity's future teams
come up to '98, she'll be satisfied
with them.
And now for the yell :

The Durham "Morning Herald"
has got its back up because the Black-
well Tobacco Co. blew its bull whistle
in celebration of the University's vic
tory Saturday.
The Herald was not bold enough to
come out and express its own senti
ment. It said, "People on the streets
remarked so and so," and then gives
place to anarticle by "A Durhatnite"
which criticises Col. Julian S. Carr's
"celebration of Trinity's and Dur
ham's defeat." We think this criti
cism very unjust to Col. Carr, who is
one of Durham's most loyal citizens.
What man has ever done more for
that town than he has? Merely be
cause Trinity is a "home institution"
must he rejoice to see her overcome
the : University, from which he was
graduated and in which he has a son
at the present time? Why, Col. Carr
was born and raised in Chapel Hill.
Must he not be allowed to blow his
whistle in celebration of a victory won
by the boys from his old home and
Alma Matefi And besides, the Uni
versity is not a local institution, but a
state institution. It is as much Dur
ham's as it is Chapel Hill's, and yet
Col. Carr is criticised for celebrating
"Durham's , defeat." Oh my, how
narrow minded and contracted some
folks are.
As the curtain is about to fall,
the editor-in-chief wishes to thank
the associate editors for their faith
ful service on the board. While oc
casionally they have seemed not to
recognize the fact that they were
elected for the purpose of writing
and not as an ornament to our edito
rial column, as a general thing they
have been prompt in the fulfillment
of their duties. And to them is due
largely any measure of success the
Tar Heel may have attained.
To the Athletic Association we
would express Our appreciation of
the honor conferred on us and the
confidence reposed in us. " We have
endeavored to represent truly the
athletic life of the University and
at the same time to express the sen
timent of the student bodjT on all
matters. There are probably many
that are ready to find fault with
our work. To such we would ven
ture the fond hope that they may
some day occupy our sanctum.
With nine rahs for the 'Varsitv,
we close the present volume.

President Alderman's Return.
Dr. Alderman arrived in New York
on the evening of May 3, just three
months after his departure for the
East. He reached Chapel Hill Satur
day morning, May 7. At prayer ser
vice yesterday morning he was greet
ed by loud applause from the student
body. He made a talk of twenty min
utes length, starting out by laying
that the pleasantest thing he had seen
in all of his travels was the green
campus of the Old University. He
said that he had enjoyed 'the best o
health while away, that in nearly
12000 miles of journeying upon the
sea he was never sick for one minute
And; indeed, his appearance bears
him out in this, for we never saw him
looking better.
Dr. Alderman said that he wanted
publicly to acknowlege his deep sense
of gratitude t o Prof. Gore, who
through these months, in addition to
his own work, had so admirably con
ducted the affairs of the University.
In speaking of the benefits of travel
in foreign lands, he said that if one
is disposed to think his country is the
only country, he will learn by travel
that he is mistaken. He will learn
that our nation is very young and
very crude yet, and that there are
still great things in the way of civili
zation for us to achieve; yet he will re
alize that this country is the noblest
and most beautiful land to live in. It
is a country of unlimited power, the
laud of the free, where every profes
sion and every calling is open to tal
ent. The speaker grew eloquent
when he said that he had seen the
grand and imposing domes of Rome,
Constantinople, and Jerusalem, but
that for beanty and impressiveness
the dome of our National Capitol sur
passed them all.
, He then referred to the war situa
tion. He said that he had heard
many unsympathetic remarks in Ger
many, France, and Italy, reference to
America that were hard to bear, but
that when England was reached
things were different. Though they
criticise us, they are for America.
The patriotism of race asserts it
self. The stout strain of .-English
blood, recognizes that this war is
waged on one side by her children.
He expressed his gratification at
finding that the students of the Uni
versity had not allowed themselves to
be carried away by the excitement " of
the war. Our greatest duty is to stay
here and fit ourselves for life.
Dr. Alderman ended by saying that
he was ' done tripping around the
world, and that" henceforth his life
would be spent in the service of the
University.
Dr. Carter.
The last one of the University
Preachers for this session was the
Rev. Dr. Carter, pastor of the
first Baptist church at Raleigh.
He preached at the Baptist Church
Sunday morning May 1, and at Uni
versity Chapel that evening. He
conducted chapel exercises and lead
the Y. M. C. A. meetings Monday
and Teasday. On account of the
Southern Baptist Convention,
which met in Norfolk, Va., the
latter part of the week, Dr. Carter
was unable to remain with us the
whole of last week.
We feel sure that the influence
for good wielded by these preachers
to the University has been great.
The mere presence of these great
divines among the students and
their personal contact with them
cannot but have left lasting impressions.
