No Georgia Game.
There will be no Georgia game
Saturday, as has. been announced.
A telegram from Manager Gray
yesterday advised that he had tried
to get the game but had failed. In
stead we will play Roanoke College
on that day. This game was
scheduled for the benefit of the sea
son ticket holders, and the manager
is making every effort to fill in the
vacancies caused by the rain, so
that there will be no kickers among
the fans.
Don't forget the Delaware games
today and tomorrow.
The Dances,
The annual Easter dances will be
held in the gymnasium Thursday
and Friday nights of this week.
During the dances the Hill always
presents a gala appearance, many
of the fair daughters of the State
coming from every direction and
our ladies' men are happy.

but that the show will be worth
the price of admission 75, 50, and
40 cents. Tickets on sale at Eu

Easter Monday.
Monday was a holiday in all de
partments of the University. Many
of the students took advantage of
he suspension of classes to migrate
to their homes for the purpose of
adding to the joy of certain fair
ones at least such is the presump
tion. The groups around Davie
oplar showed a decided decrease.
Many others took advantage of the
deal weather to "get back to na
ture" and the creeks in the sur
rounding country were lined with
fishermen, and from the best ac
counts obtainable at this hour, the
fish population was decreased to an
alarming extent, though the local
fish market was not overstocked to
the extent that prices showed an
appreciable decline.
But however that may be, the
day was one of joy. No boring lec-
ures had to be attended and the
students just loafed.
MR. MEADE COMMITS SUICIDE
SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE MOUTI
SATURDAY.
Al
The Deceased Well Liked by
Entire Community Sad
dened. It was with great sadness tha
the people of Chapel Hill and the
students of the University heard
that Phil R. Meade had committed
suicide Saturday afternoon. Mr.
Meade had been in low spirits sev
eral days but no one thought tha
he had any idea of taking his life
Mr. Meade attended to his duties
at the Express office Saturday
morning as usual. In the after
noon supposedly about four o'clock
he went into the room of Mr. J. W
Markham over Dunston's barber
shop. As he had been in the habit
of doing this it did not arouse any
suspicion. About six Mr. Fred
Patterson who occupies an adjoin
ing room went upstairs and finding
4 1 4 '
tne door locked ne became curious
and looked through the window,
whereupon he saw Mr. Meade ly
ing on the bed. He sent immedi
atcly for Dr. Isaac Manning who
broke into the room. He found
that Mr. Meade had undressed and
gone to bed just as if he intended
to sleep. Upon his breast lay
pistol and trom nis moutn ana nose
streams of blood had poured, cover
ing the lower part of his face and
neck. Death must have followed
1 4 4 1
instantaneously tor tnere were no
signs ot disorder ana aisarrange-
ment. President Venable was noti
nea and he and ur. Manning car
ried the news to his father, Rev.
W. H. Meade.
Mr. Meade wasabout 35 years old
and was apparently in sound health.
He was a fine specimen of physical
mannood. Mr. Meade was born in
Virginia: his family is one of the
best in the Old Dominion. -He at
tended and graduated from the
piscopal High School. His name
remains written on the walls of the
school buildings as evidence of his
popularity and athletic prowess
Atter graduation he also taught at
the Episcopal High School.
About ten years ago Mr. Meade
was a baseball player of note. In
his prime of life he was one of the
best shortstops in the state. He
played short on Tarboio when Tar-
boro was champion of the two
Carolinas. For the last year
he was agent for the . Southern
Express Company and proved
himself a reliable, courteous agent.
Mr. Meade both in his business and
in his personal relations was always
rank, goodnatured, and kindheart-
ed. His genial manner will be
missed on the streets of Chapel
Hill.
The funeral services were held at
the home of his father Monday af-
ernoon at 12:30, Reverend Mr. Bost
of Durham officiating. The inter
ment was at the Chapel Hill cem
etery. I
GORE MEMORIAL SERVICES
HELD IN WILLIAMS' CHAPEL
SUNDAY.
Some Ueautlful Tributes Paid to
the Character of
Prof. Gore.
In Williams' Chapel Sunday after
neon services were conducted in
memory of Prof. J. W. Gore, who
was for twenty years superintend
ent of the Sunday School in the
community beyond Purefoy's mill.
Mr. F. B. Rankin opened the ser
vices with a short but earnest
prayer. Mr. W. O. Sparrow told
the story of Prof. Gore's life. Mr.
J. Y. Merritt gave a history of
Williams' Chapel which Prof.
Gore and his wife had built eight
years ago. Mr. J. M. Womble, in
an interesting manner told of Prof.
Gore as he knew him. Rev. J. W.
Wildman made the principle ad
dress. He had known Prof, Gore
as a college mate and friend. His
tribute to him was strong and
heartfelt. At the conclusion of the
services everyone keenly felt that a
truly great man had died. To a
visitor the services disclosed an un
known side of Prof.' Gore's useful
life. The twenty years of faithful
service to that comunity on the
part of Prof . Gore and his wife
finds its reward in the love and
gratitude of all those who attended
their Sunday School.
Track Team.
A meet has been arranged with
Wake Forest College, to take place
on the local track on May. 2nd. It
was found to be impossible to meet
Clemson, owing to their recent
trouble, so there will be but the
one meet, with no trips away from
the Hill. It is ten years since a
meet has been attempted on our
track or what passes by that
rather pretentious name. The
success of the present undertaking
will depend entirely upon the
hearty cooperation of the student
body. Most of the fellows do not
tnow what a track meet is. Very
few have ever seen a complete meet,
and still fewer are competent
either to criticize or judge. It will
be a novelty, and with the assis
tance of the boys, will be a success.
Without that assistance, not only
will the financial end of the affair
ook like two plugged dimes, a can
celled postage stamp and a postal
card, but the track team will re
semble nothing so much as a pair of
ast year s plaid pants.
We need men, we need money,
we need the backing of the college.
From what we have seen of Wake
Forest's records, we can win easily,
but there are few more surprising
hings than a track meet unless
hev be the new spring sky-pieces.
We want the men who can, but
don't; the men who are able but not
willing; the men who are not able
but are willing; we want men, with
respect neither to length of leg nor"
ung capacity. If we win this meet,
t will do much toward establishing
rack athletics where it ought to
De. ii we loose rnena, tnat vas
