POSTPONE CALLING
SCHOOL ELECTION
Members Of County Board Of Edu-
cation Go to Raleigh to Confer :.
with Superintendent Brooks
ALTERNATIVE PLANS PROPOSED

In order that the members of
the county board of education
may attend the conference of
county, superintendsnts called by
State SQperintepdent Brooks in
Raleigh, the board meeting sche-
duled for Monday, April Is, in
Hillsboro has been postponed. 1t
was on April 16 that the call for
a special election on the county
wide school system was to be issued.
Probably the postponement will
be only until the end of next
week.
The situation with regard to
schools in Orange is a serious one,
and the board members hope they
will get some helpful suggestions
from DR.. Brooks and others at
the Raleigh conference. They
are expected to make a choice be-
tween two alternative plans; first,
calling for vote on a straight
countrywide school system, with a
uniform special school tax
throughout; second, calling for a
vote establishing a system that
takes in all the county except
Chapel Hill and .Hillsboro.
Something has got to be done if
Orange County is not to go back
ward in the education of its chill
dren, For, under the new law,
enacted by the last legislature, the
average daily attendance required
to put school on the twO-teacher
basis is raised to 40. That is
higher than the attendance at
some of the Orange schools, and
next year the county is threaten
ed with having One-teachcr
schools, which, by common con
sent Of all educational experts, are
inefficient and generally unsatis-
factory.
There are in he county seven
local districts in which special
school taxes are levied in addition
TO the county school tax of Al
cents on each 500 of assesseChXal
uation. The object of the propo-
sal to institute a uniform county
wide system is to give rural com
munities the benefit of taxes ON
the extensive corporation prop
erty in the county. This property
lies chiefly in the town districts
and is now taxed chiefly for the
benefit of town children.
The acceptance of the county
wide plan, either in its entirety
or with Chapel Hill and Hillsboro
left out, would not raise the school
taxes in these two towns; but il
would spread to the country the
school opportunities now enjoyed
by the towns. ...--....

BAD LUCK PURSUED
DAGGETT'S VISITOR
First Deceived BY Pullman Agent;
Then Robbed, Then Landed at
University SS;taaiiOn at Night
BUT-HE GOT HERE AFTER ALL

DVA ~ VVA AA&&4 IA AAN EAAA4
Clinton D. Lewis, a banker, of
Providence, Rhode Island, who
has just arrived here on a visit to
Parker Daggett, professor of elec-
trical engineering in the Univer-
sity, had these things happen to-
him on the way south:
The Pullman agent in Provi-
dence sold him a reservation on a
train that had been cancelled the
week before.
After much difficulty he got. a
berth to Washington. While he
was asleep in transit his entire sup
ply of money, $50, was stolen from
him.
He ate breakfast in Washington
without first examining his purse,
and just as he was about to settle
for the meal found that he had
exactly 49 cents to meet a charge
of so. The restaurant proprietor
took pity on him and let him keep
the 49, on faith.
The Pullman agent in Washing
tonic whom by this time many
other passengers had complained
of being robbed aboard the Sleep
ing car-refused to cash a check
for him; but after long search
he found a man who consented to
let him have a small sum.
Arrived in Raleigh, he mis-
takenly bought ticket to Univer-
He got there at 1922 o'clock at
night, detrained, and found the
station closed and not even a light
in sight, A lone negro told him
there was no way to get to Chapel
Hill Finally he aroused the agent,
Mr. Craig, in the latter'S home, and
Mr., Craig was finally persuaded to
take him to Durham by automobile.
From Durham he called Mr.. Dag
gett by phone.
Come over by bus" instructed
Mr. Daggett.
How much does it cost ?" asked
the Providence man anxiouSly.
Fifty cents. "
lIurrah That Just. the sum
| have left -
So he came to Chapel Hill and
alighted from the bus at the cafe
terra. Miss Gates, the proprietor,
told him how to get to Mr.. Dag
gett s.
"Just go right there to the post
Office" she said, pointing to cor
ner about Is yards away, land
turn to the left and keep on &C.
ing. IIl phone Mr.. Daggett and
he'll meet you. "
But the end was not yet. Prob
ably because the New Englander
was so overcome by his succession
of misfortunes, he did not quite
take in Miss Gates Instructions.
Anyway, he walked past the cor
nor and on ia tho hirnnfinn %
Durham, thereby missing his host
who was Fastening up the side
street.
The professor turned up at the
cafeteria and asked Miss Gates:
Where s my friendH"
"Gone-~that way" said Miss
Gates pointing toward Durham.
The professor took out eastward at
top speed At last he overlook
Mr.. Lewis, and they embraced and
were happy.

KEEPING ABREAST OF
THE TOWN

The way to keep informed
of what is going on in your
town is to subscribe to a
newspaper. The most con.
venient way to subscribe to
this one is to cut out and mail
the coupon on the last page.

is ont!
No part of the village but is in
cluded in the battle field. Out
along Pittsboro and Vance and Nc
Cauley streets, in the western dis
trict beyond the Baptist church,
and down in the east end where
most of the faculty reside-all
over Chapel Hill the irrepressible
conflict is stirring up argument
and making neighbors eye one
another threateningly across their
boundary lines.
1t is an annual spring event,
this attack by roosters and hens on
vegetable patches. And the time
honored methods of waging the
campaign are the same this year as
ever they were: sometimes repeat
ed protests answered by repeated
promises, sometimes vigorous ston-
ing of the unlimited visitors, some
times summary execution and con-
signment to the pot. Now and
then there bursts forth a real
alteration between garden-grow-
ing and chicken growing neigh
bors but most often the citizen
whose domain is invaded, shrink
ing from open discord, takes it out
by lambaStin' the chicken-Owner
in conversation with mutual
friends.
The attitude of the chicken-ow-
ner ranges from that of the friend
" neighbor who tells you to ego
right dh1dd and xiii HI CHI If they
get loose and go over into your
garden" to the virtuous indigna-
tion of the man or woman who
thinks you ought to be charmed
at the privilege of feeding a neigh
l.nr's flock.
If those who are trying to cul-
tivate gardens just knew it, they
have ready weapon against the
owners of wandering fowl. This
weapon is an ordinance that was
adopted by the board of aldermen
that, "whereas the running at
large of chickens is considered a
nuisance, - it is prohibited, and a
violator is subject to a fine of S.
for each and every offense.
But before anybody can be e'had
up somebody has to make a com
phint, and thus far no complaints
have been received at the MAYOR 5
office. People are naturally loath
TO 60 to law with their next door
rIeighb0rs, with whom, except
where chickens are concerned, they
are apt to be on the friendIiest
terms. They will fume and fuss
and sputter through whole sea
son rather than make a scene in
court.
There has been in force for years
"A State law against marauding
chickens. Not many months age
DR. Charles s. Mangum decided
he would resort to this law for~re
lief, especially as the appeal prom
lsed "A good joke to boot. His next
T00T HETgHD0T Is W. s. E0bcTS0n
mayor of the town. The physician
walked into the mayors office one
day and addressed him solemnly
as follows:
Mr.. Mayor, I want to swear
ont a warrant to abate a nuisance. u
Mr.. Robertson drew a sheet OF
paper to him, took up his pen, and
asked in strictly official tone:
Against whom is the warrant
directed ?" =-
Against w. s. Robertson, whose
chickens are coming over into my
garden"
The pen, poised over the sheet,
stopped in mid-air. After mo-
ment's pause, the mayor said;-
You know, somehow | believe
that case can be settled out of
court. "
