Great Alumnus Passes Away. (Continued from Page Onc.) life's work, but one of peace and rest, and not of toil and labors. Thus at the break of day, when all the world was awake and astir, gently, very gently passed away the spirit of Carolina's most distinguished Son. A week has passed and we have read in the papers tribute after trib ute of honor and respect to his name but it is never too late to pay our tribute to our distinguished alunus. James 1-1. Carlisle was born in Winnsboro May 4, 1825. He en tered South Carolina College and gra(luated with honors, being one of the college leaders while here. He taught eight years in Columbia and was then called to the professorship of mathematics at Wofford College. He assumed the presidency of the college in 1875 and served faithfully in this capacity until 1905. He then retired from active service, but still remained at the college which he prac tically founded. Thus briefly is the life and work of a (listinguishecd educator. The University of South Carolina desires 2 to join with the many others of the State and country in paying its re spects to his name. If others mourn c_ his death we mourn his loss all the &5 more because we feel like we have a ? claim to him, as lie was one of our .s alumni. There are heroes of the battlefield there are heroes in every walk of life, but the great among all Dr. Carlisle is a hero in that lie gave all his life for the upbuilding and the educating of the youth of the South. For fifty-one years lie was actively engaged in the great profession of teaching. For fifty-one years lie guided many stu dents through the paths of turmoil and doubt to the straight and iar row road of truth, justice- and hon esty. He was indeed a hero, and we honor and glorify his name. James 1. Carlisle, distinguished educator and teacher of men, we mourn his loss but we pay tribute to his glory and greatness. He has gone but he is not dead. "''here is no death, the stars go dowin To shine upon a farther shore, Aml high in heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore." Monday Meeting Greatly Enjoyed. (Con1ftinued from Page One.) a great extent to its p)residlent. This man was p)oor as a boy, but his career is one that should give inspi ration to every young man. The lo cation of the exposition grounds wvas near idleal, with mountains around, and Lake Washington and Lake H-uron on either side. "The character of the exhibits standls without hparallel," said Mr. Blethea. HeI made this statement more inplressive by mentioning a few interesting dletails. He recalled the wvondherful forestry building wvhichi in size is 320 feet in length and 144 in wvidth. In this building wvas a single tree 19 feet in diameter, and numerous other wonderful anid interesting forestry (hlays.v lie mentioned the great natural ampi theater, seating 20,000 people; the great flag l)ole 200 feet high, cut from the forest of Washington; the exhibits from the Philippines, Japan, Mexico, Central America, Canada, Korea, Panama, and other countries on the Pacific coast. Tle Alaska Yukon exhibit was probably the most impressive, this cost $400,000. Alaska, like the other regions of the West and Northwest, is a vast em pire of opportunity and wealth. For instance, its output annually is $to, ooo,ooo; fisheries, $15,ooo,ooo, and gold, $5,ooo,ooo. The development of education, agriculture, commerce, mining, hydraulics and electricity is woniderful. Foresight was indeed used in the wise ivestment of constructing steel buildings, which cost $roo,ooo, and which have since been donated to the University of Washington. "Ini every way," stated Mr. Bethea, "the Seattle exposition is the great est and most successful yet had." In a few well directed remarks Mr. iethea drew back the curtain of the vast West to us. 1 He men tioned esp6cially the phenomenal growth of Seattle, Deiver and San Francisco, together with the other grc-t cities of the West. In Seattle there lives a man 56 years old, who remembers the settling of that great city. Mr. Bethea further enumer ates the exports, imports, bank clearings, paved streets, and other signs of prosperity in the cities and in the vast West at large. Mr. Bethea's talk was indeed in teresting and instructive; he pic tured so vividly the beautiful scen ery and recalled so unhesitatingly the details of the exposition. The studeits thoroughly enjoyed having Mr. Bethea with them and are in deed grateful to him. Carolina Loses to Tarheels. (Continued from Pagc One.) made many costly fumbles. These were made at critical points of the game, and but for them Carolina would have been able to score at least one touch-down, perhaps two, on the distance gained. The Carolina team' individually showed up very well in places that the fumbles were costly, and we hope that this fault will not occur again in a dozeni games-in fact, never. Our team made some line-bucks that were spectacular; some of the runs through broken field received frantic cheers from the grandl standl. But dlespite this, it wvas against us, and every bril liant p)lay wvas madle to amount to nothing. But TIi Ga\m:.cocIc is still crow ing "Carolina !" at the top) of its v'oice. Our sqluadl showved grit, and( there can be no dloubt that where there is grit andl get uip luck can't always be against us. So, come on, varsity ; 'T'ni GAM?~EcocK is still hopeful, and we be lieve that there is going to be some thing doing yet. Mr. WV. E.

Tell ic not ini mournfful numbers, That thou hath no cigarettes today, Vor the Fiend is not dead that slun bers, And will have his smoke anyway. Smoke is real! Smoke is earnest! And after lighted has its pluck. Ashes thou art, to ashes returnest, Was not spoken of the "duck." In the world's broad field of pipes, In the bivouac of ashes, Be not like tailless kites, Be a duck shooter in the splashes. Lives of great smokers all remind us, Ve can make our smoke sublime, And departing leave behind us, Ducks on the sands of time. Ducks that perhaps another, Sailing o'er smoke's solemn main, A purloin shipwreck brother, Seeing, may smoke again. Then let us be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to smoke, and to wait. S. A\. A Letter. To the P"riends of the University of S. C.: Perhaps the most representative thing in the life of the student body of the University is the student publica tions. These are three, Tum. GAM: coci, The Carolinian, and the Garnet and Black. These publications enable the students to cultivate a clear and forceful style, to express themselves upon leading topics of public interest, and to fit themselves for usefulness in the world as writers and journalists. They are also an important means of keeping the alumni, friends and pat rons of the University informed as to the course of events here. For these reasons I feel sure that our alunmi and friends will be glad to encourage the students of the University in publish ing these excellent periodicals. Sincerely, yours, S. C. M'rcr1.rJ,..
