Raleigh News nod Observer.
Jud"e Yates Webb, who in his day
as a fine baseball player and later
as a pitcher on the Congresionnl j
baseball team qualified as an athletic
expert, expresses the opinion that his
home team a* Shelby could defeat the
University of Virginia at football.
Alderman, .1., may dissent, wliich
refills r *rood story with the scene
laid in Cleveland countv and at the
University of Virginia. When Or. Al
derman was "elected as president of
Jefferson':-, institution, he was its first
president; It.; founder had not boleiv
ed in a president and bruj established
what lie regarded a amore democratic
form of college government, members
of the facullv in turn acting as chair
man of the faculty. The departure to
a president was against all tradi
tion- and Alderman did not have easy
sailing at first to destroy tin honor
ed tradition. In the days when resent
ment at the change was still strong,
some Virginian, resented the fact that
North Carolina held such high posi
tions in the institution at Charlottes
ville—Alderman, the president j Dr.
Richard II. White, head of the medi
cal school; Dr. C. Alphonso Smith,
head of the department of English; Dr
ITarrv Heck, head of I he department
of education and others. At first in
terms of opposition, some people re
ferred to these men as “the North
Carolina oligarchy” in the University,
later. Y/h< n these North Carolina'
“oligarchy” converted its critics and
they all became persona grata, the
term was still used as a matter
of pleasantry.
One day one of the best teachers in
the University, meeting President
Alderman on the campus, paid en
thusiast icnlly: “I want to tell you of
a find I have made. There is a new
freshman in my class who pas the
quickest and best mind with which I
ever came i ncontact. He catches even
the shades of the meaning of words.
Tie is a wonder and an inspiration.”
And lie proceeded to enlarge on the
young genius of his class.
Dr. Alderman was, of course, much
interested in this young prodigy, and
asked his name.
“His name is William Smith” (only
it wasn’t Smith, but the name is Pot
recalled) the professor answered.
“O” said Dr. Alderman, “I know his
people. He came from somewhere
about Shelby or Ruthorfordton in
North Carolina."
The Virginia professor held up bis
hands and in mock seriousness cried
out, “Another member of the North
Carolina oligarch})!”
Remembering., that, the last mem
ber of this invincible oligarchy came
from the Shelfiy neighborhood, it is
to be doubted eve nif Judge Webb can
induce the University of Virginia to
play the Shelby team. Now if it was
baseball, and Judge Webb was pitch
ing on the team, Alderman’s boys
might be induced to give a try to the
“North Carolina oligarchy." As a mat
ter of fact, bulging by the victory
which the University of Virginia
scored over the University of North
Carolina in football on last Thanksgiv
ing Day, the “North Carolina oli
garchy” scores more in the class
room than on the gridiron.

Hav/k and Snake
In Death Grapple
Wilkes Journal.
That a black snake will entwine
itself around the body of a human
being or a member of the lower ani
mal kingdoms and fight for its own
ve*\v life in time of dancer is consid
ered nurely traditional by many peo
ple who have heard stories told by the
older people. But to all that saw a sil
ver-winced hawk and n small black
snake enlaced in a death grapple in
this city a few days ago the story is
no longer considered to be farcial.
A few davs ago, Thursday to be ex
act, early in the morning Spurgeon
Minton, a Wilkes county citizen, was
driving along tie- state highway near
Millers Creek. He heard an unusual
noise in the woods near the road. lie
stopped his automobile, wept into the
woods to investigate. An interesting
spectacle came into view as be an
proached the spot from which the
queer noise was coming.
First he saw a large silver-wing
ed hawk, twisting and jerking in all
directions. Coming closer he noticed
that there was something around the
hawk’s peck. He then saw that it was
a small black snake, the body of which
at the largest point being not more
than an inch indiameter.
The hawk no doivht thinking that
the snake would make a nice morning
meal, decided to catch the rentile. But
before being caught the snake twist
ed its body into a knot closi lv
around the hawk’s throat, and with
the strength, not thought to be held
in the small body, would not release
its hold under any circumstances, arid
when found by Mr. Min'on the snake
had the upper hand on the hawk and
was gradually choking the life out
of the bird.
While the snake had its.body tightly
j wound around the hawk’s neck, it was
careful to get its head quite a distance
nwav from the hawk’s mouth. The
hawk however, held the snake’s head
awav from its bodv with its claws.
Mr. Minton tied both the hawk and
snake to his car and brought them to
this city. The unusual fight between
the bird and reptile created very
much interest here. Many people stat
ed that they had often heard that a
black snake would wrap its body
around people and choke them to
death, hut never before had they seen
! the story materialize. Pictures of the
(death grapple were made.
The snake was the victor in the
fight for life. It was one time that
the hawk made a mistake in chon ing
its menu.
Tom Tarheel says that a clerk
tried to fpol him the other lay but
the advertisement in the- paper l ad
told him just what he wanted and
that’s what he bought.

Change of
life
“When change of life began
on me,” says Mrs. Lewis
Lisher, of Lamar, Mo., “I
suffered so with womanly
weakness. I suffered a great
deal of pain in my back and
sides. My limbs would cramp.
I didn’t feel like doing my
work, and there are so many
steps for a woman to take on
a farm. I was very anxious
to get better. A friend rec
ommended
CARDUi
The Woman’s Tonic
to me and I began using it.
I certainly Improved. I went
through change of life with
out any trouble. I can highly
recommend Cardui.”
At the age of about 40 to
60 every woman has to pass
through a critical time, which
is called the Change of Life.
At this time, great changes
take place in her system,
causing various painful and
disagreeable symptoms.
If you are approaching this
period, or are already siifi'er
mg from arfV of its troubles
or symptoms, take Cardui. It
should help you, g.3 it has
