Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The time of the regular % eekly meeting of the association has been changed from Sunday evening to Wednesday evening. These meetings commence at 7:45 and close promptly at 8:15 o'clock. Last Wednesday evening it was encouraging to see a larger number than usual present. The speaker vas Dr. J. \V. Daniel; sub ject: Bible Study. In his usual force ful style Dr. Daniel presented the fact that the Bible is related to practically every branch of knowledge ; and showed. in a convincing manner, that a knowledge of the Bible is necessary to the greatest success in the practice of law, medicine,- and in the other vocations. The Y. M. C. A. has been launched into a broad field of usefulness at the University. We all admire the co operation that is being given X r. Mills in carrying on the social features ; but, if we content -ourselves with making the social features a success, will not the basal purpose of the Y. M. C. A. be defeated ? This purpose is the de veloping of strong, active Christian characters, and no factor has such a powerful force in this development as does the study of the Bible. Then, is it not the duty of every Christian on the campus to ally himself with one of the classes in Bible study that are be ing organized ? Fellows, this is an op portunity that we can't afford to neglect. At present only two courses Will be offered: 1, Studies in the Life of Christ ; 2, Studies in the Acts. The men who have already registered for these courses have been divided into three sections with P. L. Wright, E. N. Carnes, and R. F. Bradley as lead ers. Other classes will be organized as soon as the number of men makes it advisable. If you had rather take some course other than the above, con BIRD To the Jack and Jill that went up the hill, There came a romance queller, For though Jack with joy did marry her 'Twas to some other fellow. Junior Goodwin: "Say, Fresh, did you mail that letter I sent you upl) to the postoffice to mail?" Fresh Chitty : "Why, yes, andl here's the money y ou gave mc to mail it with."

If anyone wishes to see something green and fresh, just look at Fresh Carpenter. sult Mr. Mills or one of the leaders. They will be glad to have a suggestion from you. Have you*ever thought of the fact that when you enter into this work you not only benefit yourself and your fel low students, but that you are giving the University a wider influence? For many people over the State judge an institution of learnig more by its moral and religous standards than by its in tellectual standard. Deep down in his heart, every student here wishes to do what is best for himself, what is best for the student body, and what is best for the University at large. Then, to accomplish this three-fold end, you will do well to give your aid to this Bible study movement. It makes no difference whether you are a church member or not, come out and join one of the classes. Your preseiice and the help you give will be appreciated. Professor ColcocR Represents State. (Continued from Page One.) was fortunately voted down by reason of the fact that it would make this association take on somewhat the char acter of a political organization if it attempted at any time to deal too drastically with questions uponi which politicians might be divided. This would have been especially the case with this question, as the politicians of the State of Tennessee seemed to be (livided on the policy of using convict labor for any purposes where its out put would be in competition vith free labor. The State of Tennessee has hundreds of its convicts engaged in its own coal mines and also several hun dred by contract engaged in the manu facture of shoes. The address of President Finley, of the Southern Railroad, was one of the finest I ever listened to.

He emphasized the fact that the building ofg6od roads was in many ways to the advantage of the railroads, and especially in that it opened up contiguous sections of the country and thus increased the amount of freight. One striking feature that he developed, that the absence of good roads led to a congestion of freight at shipping points in good seasons of the year and a scarcity of freight in the rainy seasons when the roads were bad. The writer of this article had pre viously put forward the following argument to show the advantages to the railroads. The railroads make their best money on long hauls and not short hauls, and when the roads are so perfect that the shipping points can be placed wider apart. the average haul on the railroad will be longer. The principal argument of the writer was directed toward calling at tention to the fact that the present dis positions of good roads advocates is confined too much to interesting those who are already interested and too lit tle towards interesting the farmer who is the man of all others that is inter ested, financially and otherwise, and who mutist be aroused to the necessity for good roads if the good roads move mIent in the South is to become a suc 'he University o FOUNDED BY THE STATE Ib Spacious campus, commodiou letic field.

The "Gym" Classes. Very few of us realize the difficulty that is besetting Mr. Schofield until he can get the gym in shape for the classes. It is well-nigh impossible to maintain any hold on the men when there is no headquarters for the gym nasium classes. It will still be some time before the maple floor is completely laid. Until then, try to do all you can to hold the classes together. Not only be on the job yourself, but (o all you can to get your room mate and other fellows to go to the athletic field for the classes. The sessions are not long, the roll call being the chief feature until all the suits and shoes are here and every body is equipped. Columbia Ie & Fuel Go.
