"THE EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY" Discusses the Changes Needed in the Present System. On last Tuesday one of the most interesting addresses of the year was delivered by an alumnus of Carolina, in the person of Mr. Lewis V Par ker, of Greenville, S. C. Before and after the address Mrs. Ftrtick, accom panied by Mrs. Daniel, rendered a charming solo, which was greatly en joyed by all. Prof. M. H. Moore, Dean of the law department, in a few well chosen remarks recalling that Mr. Parker re ceived both the degree of B. A. and LL. B. at this institution, introduiced the speaker. Mr. Parker, after recounting sev eral pleasant memories of the Univer sity, discussed "The Employer's Lia bility." I-Ic spoke of the increase of the South's industries, shown by our 4,000,000 spindles. In 1812 South Carolina ,vanted a tariff, 'or then she was first in industries, and Massachu setts opposed it, but soon the condition was reversed by the growth of slavery. (Continued on Page Three.) Prof. Colcock Speaks in Chapel. On Tuesday morning, in the chapel, Prof. Colcock, Dean of engineering (epartment, nade a very interesting talk on the convention of "Harbors and Rivers," to which he was the Uni versity's delegate. Prof. Colcock said that there were 3,200 delegates from all over the country present, which tends to show that great interest is taken nov in this work. The matter of an annual appropriation for this great work was discussed, an(l it was recommended to Congress that it set aside $50,000,000 per year for these much needed improvements. It was clearly showin that the preseit railroad facilities are entirely inadequate in the great Northwest, and it is absolutely necessary to have some additional means of moving this great crop. The economic good was clearly shown in that it gives in a measure control over invested property. There are two great benefits which will be (derivedl: 1. The facility to export goodls from the United States. 2. To aidl in the control of the tariff. Vice Presidlent Sherman says: "This marks a newv era in commercial activity, for it shows that 3,200 people from all parts of the country, realize its imi portance." The talk wvas very short, but ext remiely interesting and in struc tive. CLASS GAMES LAST WEEK Annual Competition for Troph) Cup Held.

Dr. Wauchope's Lecture. lOne of the most enjoyed of the lec tures given at the Univei-sity this year t was heard last Thiursday evening when 3 Dr. Wauchope gave his address on "Wordsworth and the Lake Country - of England." A large audience was present and plainly they enjoyed it as a treat. Dr. Ei'dward S.

Next lie showed the beautiful scenery and ii teresting places of NWordsworth's country by means of stereopticoi views. These scenes, accompanied h with descriptions by ithe Doctor. made 1 the lecture all the more charming :md d attractive. Doctor Wauchope has lately visited the lake country of Eng land, and he was enabled to give a very n dietailedl descrip)tion of each iinterest inig sp)ot. " The third p)art of the add(ress was " given to an ab)le criticism of the great r. p)oet's wvritings. This w~as p)robably the most enjoyed p)art of the wvhole y' lecture, and each one went awvay s pleased. A violin solo by Mrs. e Twvitchell made the evening even more enjoyable.

Girardetn The game to dccide the class chan pionship in football for the present season, playedl Monday afternoon be tween the Freshman and jtinior classes, resulte(l in a 0-0 score. The gane was hard-fought at every point, and in every minute of the play. In the first half the Freshmen had a slight advantage, keeping the ball in the Juniors' territory the majority of the time, although the juniors' goal was never in any immiediate daiger. 'I'hroughout this half, the ball was carried ip and down the field, the half ending with the hall in the Freshmen's possession on the Juniors' 20-yard line. In the second half, both teams went in the game vith renewed vigor. The Juniors sustained a heavy loss in the early part of the half in the loss of their star quarterback, Crawford. This loss. however, made the team work witi greater determintiationl, and on two occasions they caie very ticar scoring. Bradley recovered a punt onl the Freshmen's 6-inch line, but, by a fumble by Wright, the Freshmen re covered the ball and kicked out of (ian ger. Monckton tried a drop kick fron the 20-yard line, which missed going over by a hair's breadth. Every man on both teams worked hard and did well. Chipley, at end, did good work for the Freshmen ; as did Cirardeau and craydon, in the backfield. For the Juniors, Crawford and Wright both ran the team vell, and Monckton played a good end, as did Wright. WVyche and McGowan showved upl in a credlitable manner. Wyche hit the line hard, and McGow an played a great defenisive ganie, al ways getting his man. The Freshman line outwveighed the Juniors by several potuds, andl the Juniors held them well, considering the greater wveight of the Freshmen. Another game betwveen these two (Continued on Page Thwee.
