Spanish Republic Is Menaced By Red-Socialist Extremists A - - : Dead Toll a Score; Over 400 Wounded Henderson To Write Articles On Obscure State Personages Dr. Henderson -' ; Five State Papers to Carry Es says of Noted Mathematician And Literary Critic. Campus Statue Is Not Grant Or Davie, But N.C. Confederate o . . Military Figure Standing Before Graham Memorial Represents University Men wno fought with Lee; of a Thousand Who Answered State's Call, Only Handful Returned. -o Of the thousands of students -who daily pass the monument on the north campus, there are few indeed who grasp its signi zficance. Some people believe it -to be Grant after the fall of Richmond. Others think it is -a tribute to the paternal devo tion of the fathers in rural sec tions of the state. Another in terpretation is that it is General Davie looking for his horse. In reality, however, the ven erable pile, which was dedicated at the Commencement of 1912, is a memorial to the men of Car olina who fought under the Stars and Bars in the 'sixties. The University, during five years, sent more than a thous and men, students and faculty, to the colors. Of these, only a mere handful returned. Significance The commencement issue of i i the Daily Tab Heel for 1912 printed the following explana tion of the significance' of the Monument: . "The north ' side, facing Franklin street, bears a bronze placque of a beautiful woman touching a youth on the shoulder who looks up at the interruption. This represents the state appealing to the stu dent, for aid. Books are falling from the youth's hands as he lis tens in evident agitation. "The figure at the top repre sents the call answered. It is of a young man, clad in Confed erate gray, gun in hand, soft felt hat pushed back from his fore i j ii . . . jieau, enmusiasm written in every line of his countenance." The statue was designed and executed by a Canadian sculptor. David MacKenzie. The expense was borne by chapters of the II D. C. throughout the state. The legend that a large amount of silver plate is hidden inside the statue, put there, so Chapel Hill tradition says, to keep it from falling into the hands of Sherman's men, is be lieved to be without foundation. Dr. Archibald Henderson, who will come into public notice again with a series of newspaper articles on little-known charac ters of North Carolina. Football Games Here Require 214 Workers In Handling Of Crowd Policemen, Student Fence and Field Guards, Pop Sellers, Etc., Kept on Duty. It takes a total of 214 men and boys to handle the odds and ends of one f ootball game. The burly crowd that will pour into Kenan stadium this af ternoon when Tennessee invades Tar Heel soil requires 12 state highway patrolmen to regulate traffic, 12 local and Durham policemen to guard the gates from would-be crashers. These latter cause 30 guards to be on duty along the wire fences sur rounding the stadium. Sixteen more are stationed in front of the stands to keep peo ple off the grass behind the goal posts, and there are always four or five internal revenue agents on the lookout for possible eva sion of the federal amusement tax.

The newspapers are: The Raleiffh News and Observer, The Dur ham Herald, The Greensboro Daily News, The Winston-Salem Journal and the Charlotte Ob server.
