Page Four THE. TAR HEEL Saturday, April 28, 192$ tattle trmses bjraphy , -o- Robert W. Winston lias "rendered ; an invaluable service to the cause of truth" in his biography of Andrew Johnson, which recently came from the presses and caused wide comment, says George Gordon Battle, native Tar Heel and prominent New York lawyer, in a 500 word telegram just received. . "You have rewritten a most im portant chapter in American history," Mr. Battle wired the author of "An drew Johnson." "No man in American life has suf fered such injustice as President John son," Battle goes on. "He had deep ly conscientious convictions in public matters and he maintained them with a lion-like courage. It stirs the blood to this day to recall the superb reso lution and bravery with .which " he faced the howling pack of hypocrites and fanatics led by Thaddeus Ste vens and his like who sought to keep the ' Southern states forever in the House of tfondage. Jbarlier m ms career, with the same conscientious devotion to his principles, he faced and withstood the influences and sym pathies of his own native South by espousing the cause of the Union.In taking this action he sacrificed the affection of his friends and apparent ly his future political prospects and a.mbltions. He incurred very serious bodily danger". "On the other hand," as Battle points out, "he was as courageous m University Orators ! Compete In Contest At Duke Last Night Several orators represented the Uni versity in the North Carolina section of the National Oratorical contest which was held in the Y. M. C. A. hall of Duke university last night. This contest is the first elimination of subsequent contests in Greenville, South Carolina, where the Southern representative is chosen, and the con gest in. Los Angeles in June, where the national winner will be chosen from thewinners of six other sections. Last night the Carolina speakers competed with speakers from Duke university, Davidson, Wake Forest, High Point college, Lenoir-Rhyne, and State col lege. Eliminations last night mark the . opening of the fourth annual contest of the 'kind, all of which have been won by southern speakers. In the first contest, a student of a Texas univer sity was winner; the second was won by a speaker representing the Univer sity of Virginia; and last year, a stu dent f ronl North Carolina State col lege received the unanimous vote mak ing him winner of the national con test. ' "The Constitution" is the subject of these contests, which are sponsored by the Better America Federation in conjunction with its international con test for high scho&l pupils. The primary-purpose of these contests is to promote and stimulate interest in and respect for the constitution of the United States and for the American system of government and society.. The orators who -spoke last night were judged by the following citizens of Durham: Rev. S. S. Bost, William B. Umstead, Robert M. Gantt, Victor S. Bryant, and Mrs. M. H. Jones. Both the North Carolina state contests an the southern interstate contest, which will be held in Greenville, S. C, are under the supervision of Prof. C. C Cunningham, head of the department of public speaking at State college. S. A. E. Dance Will Honor Newly weds Next week-end will be featured by two dances given by North Carolina Xi chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The first will be 'a twilight affair on Friday afternoon from five-thirty til nine; the second, Saturday night from nine till' twelve. Music will be fur nished by the Buccaneers for both of the dances, and they will be held at the S. A. E. House. The dance on Friday afternoon is to be given in honor of Miss Adelaide McAlister of Winston-Salem, and Mr. Edgar Cheek of Durham. A great deal of interest is being taken in the marriage of this couple since both have been intimately connected with the University for some time. Mr. Cheek graduated last year and at tended the Law School during the Fall quarter of this year. Miss McAlister is well known here and has been a fre quent visitor to the University dur ing the past few years. The whole wedding party, many of which are well known here, will be honored at the dance from nine till twelve on Saturday night. This will close the social activities for the week-end. mston.s o A..; -Johnson opposing: the course of his native sec tion when he believed it to be wrong as he was afterwards in protecting that section from tyranny and oppres sion It has, I believe, been given to no man in our history to show in such a striking manner his, absolute devo tion to conscientious principles in his public career. Sprung from the humblest origin he attained the high est post in our government by the unaided force of his intellect and character.'' . Mr. Battle also calls attention to the fact that Winston, himself a mem ber of one of the oldest and most dis tinguished families in North Carolina and with sympathies and traditions all attached to the old regime, "has given us a most interesting and sym pathetic study of this extraordinary man who was throughout his life proud of his plebian origin and at the same time inspired with the highest patriotism." "There is no more sig nificant and romantic episode in our annals than the Reconstruction Years during which Andrew Johnson fought so fiercely to protect those Southern States whose seccession ' from the Union he had so violently opposed. The book is documented and authori tative but at the same time it is in stinctive with life and interest, Judge Winston is to be congratulated upon his signal success in bringing the truth to light and in correcting the gravest injustice in the history' of our country."

Matches have already been arranged with Oak Ridge, Asheville School, and Davidson freshmen while matches are pending with Asheville High School and Charlotte High. Comparatively little is known of the strength of the opposition. How ever, word comes from Oak Ridge that that institution has a weak team. The frosh meet the Cadets May 2nd and Asheville School May 3rd. The Asheville School has always boasted a strong net team in the past and are to be feared on this occasion. The Davidson Wild Kittens, to be met May 5th, will be seen in action here Thursday. If matches can be ob tained with Charlotte and Asheville highs they will be played May 1st and May 4th respectively. Asheville, having sustained a loss in the gradua tion of George Rogers, former state hi champion, will not - offer much in the way- of opposition. A different tale is expected from Charlotte. Bur well and Hutchinson, state high cham pions in tennis,-, will give the Tar Babies a good fight. Shapiro, Yeomans, Bryant, Ora ham', the first four ranking freshmen players will probably make the trip. The schedule is 'being arranged by Fleming Wily, manager of freshman tennis. - HARDEN WRITES LAST PIECE OF W0RK1SURVEY Economic and Social Surrey of Alamance County Completed By Economics Department. The Department of Rural Social Economics in the University of North Carolina has just completed a social and economic surveyi of Alamance county. This makes sixteen North Carolina counties that have had pub lished surveys by this department. The last piece of work is by John W. Harden, a native of Graham, the coun ty seat of Alamance. It is published as one of the regular Extension Bulle tins of the University, contains twelve chapters occupying 95 pages, and six pages of pictures. "Alamance County: Economic and Social," as the book is titled, opens with a brief history of the county, followed by discussions of 'its people, its natural resources, industries, farm conditions and practices, schools, coun ty government, and so on. The en deavor is to give the world, and more specifically the people "of Alamance county, an accurate description of the county as it exists " today. The main emphasis is laid on accuracy. The survey was completed by Mr. Harden last year while he was a se nior in the University. . The cost of publication was borne jointly by the University and by the Burlington Chamber of Commerce, the County Commissioners, the County Board of Education, the Burlington Board of Education, and W. E. White, of Meb- ane, for Alamance county. The book contains no statements of extravagant propaganda as an adver tisement of the county's opportunities. On the contrary the author seems to weigh the essential data in an impar tial manner. - Dr.vPaul W. Wager, of the Depart ment of Rural Social Economics, has written a foreword for the survey. Copies will be distributed free in Alamance county and other parts of the state. Science Academy Con venes Here This Week (Continued from page one) be read before each.
