COURT CRIER GETS MIXED.
Supreme Court Sustalns Shock te
Dignity by Slip of TOnEue.

Chief Justice White and other men,
bers of the United States Supreme Court
were startled yesterday when the court
crier by a slip of the tongue admonished
all those having business with the court
ito draw near and attend to business"
The usual direction is ''to draw near
and give their attention" The sober
tribunal was shocked at first at the un-
familiar phrase. but Chief Justice White
took the lead in the laughter that greeted
the confused crier's remarks, and the
disturbance of the dignity Of the court
passed without any serious results.

MISS GRAY ENTERTAINS.
Announces Engagement Of Miss CleVe
Andrews to MI. J. ". Gotten.

On Thursday afternoon Miss Bessie
Gray, at the home of her sister, Mrs.
R. H. Gray, charmingly entertained
number of her friends. The house
,, was artistically decorated and SEEM
ed in itself to extend a welcome to
the guests.
In short while the guests were
deeply interested in auction bridge,
six tables playing. At the conclu-
sion Of the game delicious salad
course was served by Misses Lucille
Kitchin and Dorothy Dunn. On the
plates the salad was served in minia-
ture pumpkins and pumpkins fire ted
with minis were given as favors.
The Thanksgiving idea prevailed
in the dining room where the guests
were then invited by Mrs. R. H..
Gray. The table was unusually at
tractive with a renaissance lace
cover and brides cake, surrounded
by white chrysanthemums in the
centre. This gave the first hint of
the real purpose of the occasion,
which was further revealed as the
guests took up the wine glasses and
found on each tiny turkey bearing
the inscription, "Cotten-Andrews-
December 81" Numerous appro-
pirate and loving toasts were given
Miss Andrews, to which she grace
fully responded.
The cutting of the cake occasioned
much merriment, Miss Belle Open
heimer, Of Rocky Mount, getting
the ring, Miss Anna Kitchin the
thimble, and Miss Kate Boyette the
dime. A dainty ice course was
served in turkey cases.
The marriage of Miss Cleye An
drews to Mr.. J. w. Gotten, of this
place, will be an event of interest to
friends in many places, being as it is
the elimination of a love begun in
childhood. Miss Andrews is an at
tractive young woman who has both
personal beauty and a charming dis
position. Her friends rejoice that
her home after her marriage will,
still be here.
Mr.. Gotten is young business
man Of well known family whose
genial manners and true southern
courtesy make him a favorite in So
cial circles. Their many friends
join in wishing them long life and
all happiness.
The out of town guests were Misses
Belle Oppenheimer, of Rocky Mount,
Ruth Ruffin, of Tarboro, Mary
White, of Enfield, and Mrs. R. B.

THE FREIGHT RATES.

As soon as the North Carolina au-
thorities started movement in dead
earnest about reducing the freight
rates, up pops Virginia and says
that if the railroads give North
Carolina the reduction asked for
why that will ruin the towns of that
State, and they go further and ask
that no reduction be made and if it
should be made anyhow then they
are entitled to still lower reduc-
ton. Has anybody ever heard of
such thing as this before? Vir-
ginia has been enjoying a much bet
ter freight rate for years than
we have had and now before our
authorities can go further with the
railroads they will have to settle
this question with Virginia. There
are scores of enterprises. wholesale
houses. jobbers, &c., in Richmond,
Norfolk and other points today that
would be right here in this State
but for this freight rate discrimina-
ton between the States. There
ought not to be any discrimination
and now since the question has been
opened up and it is found that the
trouble is largely with the Virginia
shippers, we hope it will be pressed
to settlement that will be fair to
shippers in both States. We have
often wandered why car load ship
ment coming from out West, posi-
bly, several hundred miles, would be
given a much lower rate to some
principal point in Virginia than it
would be given from that Virginia
point to its destination-say Scot
land Neck, Enfield, Raleigh or any
point in this State. We understand
it is also true that jobber in Vir-
ginia has the same rate on broken
lots as is given in car shipments.
The knowledge of thoughts and
others make it very plain as to
why the Virginia cities raised such
a cry against a reduction of freight
rates for North Carolina when they
were led to believe that reduction
was going to be made.

"You tell me all is over.
You bid me go my way,
To be an aimless rover,
To win what hearts l may;
To brave the straights of Dover,
To fare through far Cathay!
You love me not you say.
Yet will be your lover,
My spirit still shall hover
Beside you day by day.
Whatever ills befall me,
Wherever l may fare,
Whatever hardships gall me,
l shall not ceas, to care;
Though danger should appal me
Our maidens glad and rare
With roses in their hair
Endeavor to enthrall me.
I'll hear you if you call me,
No matter when or where
With bosom proudly heaving,
AS bosoms sometimes do,
She stood and watched him leaving
And thought his promise true;
He soon forgot his grieving
And learned to love anew,
Within a week or two
The praise he was receiving
For striving and achieving
! Made laurels of his rue.

Notes From the University.
Is. R WINTERS.)


ties of the Community Club of
Chapel Hill are branching in sundry
directions looking to the civic bet
terment of the village and its sur
rounding rural communities. Sub
scriptions are being raised for the
equipping and furnishing of a So
called "rest room" for women from
the country that come to Chapel
Hill for days shopping or maybe
for days pleasure. The room be-
ing furnished is to amply accommo-
date the daily influx of women shop
pers from the rural communities
and as implied by it's homefy name
is to be rest room as we'll as COM
munity home for the several vicini-
ties of the county. Another ven
ture, of recent date, as advanced by
the Community Club, is the concen-
trating Of interest for the organiza-
ton of tomato canning club. At
the initial meeting of the movement
Mrs. McKimmon, of Raleigh, State
organizer of Gaming clubs, presented
the claims of this widespread idea
for the banding together of girls
into a tomato canning organization.
R. T. Wyche, president of the
Story Tellers' League of America,
an alumus of the University. has
within the past few weeks de-
livered a series of lectures in North
Carolina, including Chapel Hill in
itinerary. Folk lore in the South as
depicted by Joel Chandler Harris
was the theme from which he enter
tanned the University boys. The
career of this prince Of story tellers
is an interesting one to follow from
the time that he abandoned the pro-
fession of teaching the love of SELL
ing stories, leading to his rapid rise
to the presidency of the national
story tellers' league.
DR.. C. H. Herty and Prof. Collier
Cobb, members of the University
faculty, were delegates from North
Carolina to the recent sessions of
the national conservation congress,
converting in Washington City. The
University professors pronounce the
meetings as decidedly successful and
that telling blows were recorded for
the doctrine of the conservation of
the country's natural resources.
Excitement prevailed in certain
portions of the village some days
ago when reports, we'll verified,
came to the ears of the students
that bear had been a visitor to one
of the boarding houses. Some of
the students accounted for the bears
visit to so highly a civilized COM
munity as a mission in search of
Thanksgiving turkeys.
The g!ee club of the University is
mapping out a fve-day trip preced-
ing the Christmas holidays. Raleigh.
Goldsboro and Wilson are three of
the chief towns that will be visited
by the University's musical organi-
zation.
With the passing Of the 1913 foot
ball season, the athletic interests Of
the University now directs its atten-
ton to basket-b all-a game that is
of the pink tea-ish order in contrast
to football.
