His address might be called "A Plea for Independence," and we re gret that lack of space prevents us publishing it in full. The speaker showed the great need for less partisanship and more statesmanship; and rejoiced that the independent spirit is growing. "In intellectual contemplation, party is becoming a factor, not a fetich: a servant, not a master; a, means not an end. Any other view of it than this tends to make a man not a cit izen, but a slave; not a , suffragan, but a serf ; not a voter, but a vie tim." After a frank, discussion of ,. some of the important questions of the day, Dr. McKel way cal led atten tion to the fact that the country is today calling for leaders. "My State, your State, our nation await the men of action to clear the way At no time was the need of them greater or the prospect of them more auspicious. None of the peri ods of the politics of mediocrity or of intellectual immorality in Amer ica has been long. When one party has seemed nearly destitute of statesmen and when the other has seemed to be overstocked with par tisans oi tne second rank, some thinker or some moralist has risen or recurred to view, to speak the longed for and the desired word to the attentive ear and to the hoping heart of a noble people. I know that such a man will somewhere be found or re-discovered." In his conclusion the speaker, in a burst, of eloquence, gave voice to this sentiment: "Fellow citizens, let us remember' the oneness of ' our American derivation and destiny. Let us be thankful that in the bap tism of blood .all serious causes, of I hearts, our State shall nrnsnpr. our : f r - cities shall come to honor, our com munities shall conquer the pinnacles of material and moral achievement. a,nd our nation shall attain to the benign purposes of Deity in its dis covery and in its development. And f rom the vantage ground of this re public will sweep streams of bless ings to all the race of man. If to this we here dedicate and here con secrate ourselves, the North of our homes and the South of your hearts, the North and South of our country, will eventually be constrained to admit that we sought well and thought well and for our own." During the exercises telegrams of congratulation from alumni in all parts of the country were read by Dr. Venable. In the afternoon there was.a foot ball game, an account of which will be found in another column. The day was fittingly brought to a close by a reception in 'the Carnegie Library Building, given by the faculty to the alumni, citizens of Chapel Hill. Seniors and second year professional students. A large number was pres ent. Delicious refreshments were served and these, together with the gpod feeling and the beautiful quar ters'in which the reception was held, made it a decided success. members of the University baseball, football and track teams. The location is a very attractive and excellent one, being in the country and yet immediately on the railroad . so that it is accessible to parents and yet retired. The surroundings are also wholesome. ; , Francis P. Venable, President. , "Suffered day and night the tor- ment or ucmngpues. ioxning, neip ed me until I used Doan's Ointment.

BOARD AT Unmerciful Treatment of a Horse, w. Monday afternoon, about t wo o'!clo:k, the foreman of the gang- which is grading- the class ath letic field was driving four horses to a plowing- machine. The work was hard and one of the horses showed symptoms of "balking." So the foreman took the horse out and hit it in the head several times with his fist. Then he kicked it in the belly about four times with all his might. Next, he grot a stick, ahout the size of a man's wrist, and hjt the poor brute in the head with the stick about six times. Not sat isfied with this, the foreman called one of his men to hold the horse while he beat it unmercifully on the sides and back. Then he let the horse get quiet, and suddenly gave it a blow on the top of the head which could be heard an eig-hth of ajtnile off. It was a brutal beating. If; there is a Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals around here, it can find no more fit subject to work on. $8.00 PER MONTH.
