State Scholarahips at the Citadel !
We desire to call attention to the
notice which appears in another!
column of this paper regarding va- 1
fancies for the coming scholastic j
year in Citadel scholarships. Appli-'
cants are required to fill out certain'
blanks, and wo would advise our am- I
bitioux boys who are completing their
c.?""ps this year, to write'
to the Citadel authorities for the1
necessary forms.
The need today for well tfained men'
'n all departments of life is more
exigent than ever before, and at the

the military discipline as well as the
class room work, a training which

of the scholarships provided by the!

Wulf Anderson
yVas Popular Lecturer
|jW3?r
I^?vid Wulf Anderson, globe-trotter
#nd author of three popular novels,
feature.! Wednesday aftainoon's Redpath
Chautauqua program with his
distinctly unique and highly entertaining
lecture on 'The Folklore of
George Washington." The lecture,
based upon information gained
through ulmost countless hours spent
ut the many historic shrines along I
the Kappahannack, bared the soul of i
the great American as few biogra-!
phers have even attempted. . j
Washington as a youth, his firstlove,
his love for his mother and his
mother's own divine spirit of humility,
weie unfolded before an audience*
that swayed In complete accord with'
the speaker from his husky-voiced
moods toward the moments of lively '
and wholesome laughter.
A bit sentimental was Mr. Anderson's
plea to get buck to a Washington-age
faith in the same Bible and
Father of today but none, neverthe-1
less, ventured to doubt the sincerity
of his words.
Mr. Anderson possesses a person-1
ality as different and as pleasing aii
the subject upon which he lectures. I
He stood with bared head before the ,
disheveled tomb of Camden's Agnes
of Glasgow and strolled in worship- j
ful thought along the still-standing |
ramparts of the Revolution.
Mr. Anderson admitted that he
liked his game of golf but failed during
a whole afternoon to use the
golfer's popular swearings. Before
dinner he declined a highball "if it
contained whiskey"; nibbled his fried
chicken pit-nic style, and declared that
he had never learned to smoke.
Mr. Anderson is the author of "The
Blue Moon," "The Red Ix>ck," and
"Thunderhawk." The first two were
published by Bobbs-Merrill and both
later released for moving picture production.
"The Blue Moon" was also
entirely reset and published from new
plates in England, a distinction thar
comes to but few American writer?.
After writing twenty years for the
wastebasket, as he confesses, Mr. Anderson
resigned his position as a
Hoosior schoolmaster and set out on
a sort of literary pilgrimage that took
him into every state in the Union. He
has crossed the Mississsippi river at
twenty-seven different points. whi?<?
there is no railroad of any importance
in America upon which he has
not at one time or another been a !
passenger.
N. C. Madman Killed

Edgar__Smith, escaped inmate of a
North 0 arblinn insane asylum, sought
in connection with the slaying of his
wife near Elizabethtown, N. C. yesterday,

over the embankment when one memIhw
of the posse opei^P fire.
The bullet was said to have struck
Smith in the hip, coming out over
his heart. He died about 20 minutes
later police said. The identity of
[the man who fired the fatal shot was
j not known here.
Citizens of Bladen county, North

i guided by bloodhounds, had been
trailing Smith through Marion and

CHARLOTTE GETS REUNION
North ?tate Metropolis To Entertain
Con federate Veterans
y '?
The United Confederate Veterans iu J
convention at Little Roc Ark., dc y
elded last evening to hold their 1#2#
reunion at Charlotte. It will be in
May, probably May 2.
After severul other cities had withdrawn,
Atlanta and Charlotte were
left a? contenders for the privilege '
of be in# host to the veterans next
year. The oratory of Kev. Albert
Sydney Johnson, Major Heath, of
Monroe, Clarence Kuester and Anna
Jackson Preston was turned on the
convention which began to cheer the
speakers and the adherepts of Atlanta
were put to rout. \Vhen the balloting
had progressed' far enough to show
that Charlotte would have a big majority,
Atlanta moved to make it unanimous
which was done.
Mayor Francis Marion Redd, the
son of a Confederate soldier, says
Charlotte will show its appreciation
of the honor of entertaining tKfct-Veterans
by the way it will do it. The
chief argument of Charlotte at Little
Rock was that the reunion of all the
Confederate veterans had never been
held in North Carplina, and Charlotte
found that the prestige established by
North Carolina all over the country
in the last five years was of great assistance
as an attraction.
Governor Smith couldn't put over
the four-year term i,t New York, but
he thinks he knows where one can
be had.??Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
