The dismissal of four cadet· from tbe Agricultural end Me chanical Col le g* «ai tbe proper thing to do under tbe cvcum· stances, and while moat of oa can appreciate the deaire of their fellow classmen to have them returned, discipline demanded that they be expelled. When tbe college opened-tbe comfort ins aaautance was given that there would be no more hasing. Indeed, we were given to under atand that the student body would attend to the offenders. Now, a number of students in tercede and seek to bave them retained on the roll. Bven if the victims of the hazing com mittee received no bodily in juries, they were subjected to indignities. Freshmen are not alaves or scullions. Reports from various military schools in the Sonth show that tbe evil has not been pnt down, but it must end or the colleges must close. But they must not close. If the authorities are unable to handle the trouble they ought to go. In Raleigh, however, they prove that they can handle it. At tbe Virginia Military Institute, for instance, the superintendent says conditions are no worse than in former years, and when we remember what happened before, tbe outlook may be more alarming than peaceful. Three students have been dismissed from Clemaon College for brutal and cowardly conduct. Other atudents in other colleges have been shipped for similar reasons. Hazing at West Point and An· uapolia is looked upon aa a crime. It has been denounced by Congress, by the President of the United States, and . by tbe Secretary of War and the Sec r\t XT am· V. ever, may not make life secure for toe young recruit. When a- father aendt a son to college he does not expect to have him brow-beaten and dabbed. Nor doe· he intend that his son shall be nsed as a servant. He looks to the head of the institution for protection, and if he is sot protected, then there is jnit complaint against those in charge We do not see how it is co difficult to put an end to this abominable custom. If there is more of it at the A. & M. it is Dr. Winston's duty to send every bating man home— even If that empties barracks and class room. It is just as well to have these youngsters understand front the beginning that they sre not greater than the rules snd the law. A liairhikk Flad ·Ι Meter.

It is well known that the poet Wbittier wm color blind and unable to distinguish red from green. He ooce bought for. himself a necktie which he supposed to be ■ modest and anitable olive tint and wore it once. Be never wore it again, for bia friends soon made him aware that it offended against the traditional quietness of costume enjoyed alike by the habits of the friends and by his own taste. The tie was of flaming scarlet. On another occasion when be found a little girl in distress on account of her new gown, made over from her older stater's, which waa not becoming to her coloring and complexion, be tried to console her. "I wouldn't mind what a rude boy aays about it, Mary," be sud kindly. "Thee looks very well indeed in it, like and oread, Mary, dressed all in green." Unfortunately Mary waa not dressed in green. She waa red haired, and her dress was red. That was the trouble. Once on a day in mid·March, when ont walking with a friend and deeply engaged in con ver istion, Mr. Wnitter approached too near for safety to a place where blasting was going 0n. The danger signal was shown, but neither friend noticed it un· til a workman, violently waving bis arms and shouting leaped be fore them and warned them back. "I didn't see the flag at all." ■aid Mr. Wbittier'a companion. "I aaw it," rejoined the poet, with a twinkle in bis eye, " but I thought it waa in honor of St. Patrick. Thee knowa my defect.

Z8-"OM Mao John" Ward, as he i· fa miliarly known, baa conducted a tailoring shop bete with the students oi the Sut· Univeroity as bia clientele since 1847, aud in that time he haa known and made clothe* for tome prominent men. Sncb men «a Zeb Vance were bis cu»tomera-aad friends: be made them their coats and troniers and vests and kept tbejn posted aa to the styles. Mr. Ward is 81 year· old sow, and modern tailors and store clothes a number of years ago cauaed bim to ahnt down bis big shop, but they did not run bia oat of business entirely. He has a little ramsbsckle shop now. in which be worka over his hot irons ten hours each day. press ing clothes for students for $1 a month the man. And he takes such pains with baggy trousers and "wrinkled" coats that b« has all the work thst be cares for. "Things are not like they used to be," aald "Old Man Jobn" this morning, putting a finger to his Hps and then to nis hot iron, just in the seme way that aey other old man would have said it. When ■ bystander asked him wherein "things were dif ferent from what they used to be," be replied that they "lost wasn't." He pushed his hot iron down ■ leg and watched it take shape. -ι came η ere in 18*7, îost ■ veu after President Polk viafted hie old school," be answered in reply to a ouestion, "That was the time tost pant legs were larve, coats Ions and satin vests popnlar. Governor Swain was president of the University then and Dt. Mitchell and Dr. Phil· lips and two or three others were in the facnlty. Everybody knew Dr. Mitchell. He was the man who had the stone wall built aronnd the campus and the man who hsd all these culverts built." Mr. Ward was talking of Dr. Mitchell who lost bis life in making explorations on the high peak in western Carolina, which is named for him. "What did I do during the war? I worked in the govern ment store-house at Raleigh, making clothes for the soldiers —being gray coats, covered with big brass buttons. When the war was over, I returned to Chaoel Hill and here I have been ever since." "Do you remember Zeb Vance"? Mr. Ward laid down hia work, looked up and grinned. "1 should say I do. He was a sort of miscbevioua sort of a young fellow, but good-hearted aad Harmless. He liked hia fun, you bet. Sure I remember him very well." Continuing with his work, Mr. Ward told of other men of past and present prominence, who have walked under the shade of \ the grand old trees on the cam pus acroea the atreet, got their training for the future useful ness. He came on down to the time that ex-Governor Charles B. Aycock was here. ''He beat anybody at speaking you ever •aw," was the old tailor's com ment ou the former chief execu tive. "He would iuat get up and make a speech anywhere, whether be baa anything to talk about or not." He remembers asany of the students who have been here in the paat 00 yean, bat not all of them, of course. "You caa't expect a man to remember from 300 to 700 students a year for more than half a century, can you?" be asks, peevishly.
