FAST NIGHT TRIP TO FUNERAL

Late in the afternoon, the day
before the funeral of President
Harding in Washington, Jack
Sparrow was sitting in front of
his shop on the main street of
Chapel Hill. He decided he would
like to see the funeral. He
called up E. A. Brown, the hard
ware man, and "Jug" Whitaker,
and asked them if they would
go with him. They said yes.
The three of them boarded Mr..
Sparrow's automobile, rode all
night, and arrived in Washing
ton shortly after ten o'clock in
the morning, just in time to see
the funeral procession from the
White House to the Capitol.
They started back early the fol-
lowing morning and came into
Chapel Hill at half past six
o'clock in the evening.

Mr.. KooNCE's LEG BROKEN

Both bones in A. H. KOonce' s
left leg, just above the ankle,
were broken as a result of a fall
he had while walking along
Hillsboro street the other night.
The accident occurred near the
bottom of the declivity just be-
y0nd the Forester place and
where the sidewalk slopes off
rather sharply toward the gul-
ley between the walk and the
road. 1t was dark, and Mr..
KOonce, by some mischance,
stepped over the edge. DR.. r.
B. Lawson attended him and
afterward he was taken to Watts
Hospital for an x-ray examina-
ton. He is still in the hospital
but his family and friends hope
to see him out in a few days.

McIver's Good Farm
Photographs Of 1t ON Display
at Bank This Week

Alex McIver, of Oaks, whose
farm supplied the Photographic
exhibits now on display at the
Bank of Chapel Hill, took in
$64 from the sale of sour
cream produced by his four cows
in the month Of June. In addi-
ton, they gave 3,4oO pounds of
skim milk which was worth, in
food value, $34. Against this
$98 in receipts, the cost of feed
ing for the month was $24.
Some of the skim milk was con-
sumed by the family, the rest
of it was fed to the hogs and
chickens.
A year and a half ago Mr.. Nc
liver bought a Hampshire
sow for $55. She had 81 pigs
last year. The pigs sold brought
in $248, and there are left four
gifts almost as large as the
mother sow, and seven pigs. Mr..
McIver grows a great deal of
clover, soy beans, and cow-peas.
He always turns under the sec
ond crop of clover, and this year
is planning to turn under 10 to
Is acres of cow-peas for soil i'm
provement. He keeps a big flock
of Buff Orpington chickens they
yield all the eggs the family
want to eat and enough more to
bring in a profit of 81 a day.

TAR HEEL SEES BULL-FIGHTs

S. A. Stoudemire of Spencer,
who is to return to the Univer-
sity in the fall as a graduate
student, has written to his
hometown newspaper a letter
about his experiences in Spain
this summer. He has seen much
bull'fghting and finds it "by
far the most interesting thing
in Spain" He is struck by the
style of mems dress in Madrid,
saying that the trousers begin
six inches above the shoetops
and end about the same distance
above the waist.

WHISkEY FOUND AFTER WRECK

A Chevrolet car was speeding
down Strowd's hill on the Dur.
ham road one night last week,
swerved to the right, ran into
a big boulder, and was complete
~ wrecked. In it were C. w.
Farrow and w. T. Ross of San
ford-also a bottle containing
nine ounces of whiskey. Just
how many ounces the men had
consumed is not known. Far
row was sent to Watts Hospital
with a broken leg and other in
juries after DIR. Abernethy had
stitched up a weund in his
stomach. Ross was locked up
here on a charge of having Whis-
key in his possession, but was
bailed out later. He will appear
to stand trial in two or three
weeks. Elmo Taylor, who lives
nearby, was the first to reach
the scene of the accident. He
found one of the men pinned un'
der the car. The force of the
collision turned the car a
somersault so that the front of
it was pointing up the hill.

WORK PROCEEDS
i
ON GOLF COURSE
-Four Greens Already Graded; Mem
bers Hope to Play Some
This Fall
A ROLLER IS PRESSING NEED

With most of the members
away on vacation, work proceeds
steadily on the golf course of
the country club. Critz George
is chairman of the golf commit
tee, but A. w. Hobbs has been
supervising the clearing and
grading in the last few weeks.
Four greens have already
been graded, and they will be
sanded and smoothed down as
soon as possible. The biggest
part of the clearing job is for
the fairway leading to the first
green, and the trees have been
cut away nearly up to the club
house.
Of course the club cannot hope
for a finished golf course for
some time-fnancial conditions
do not permit of that-but it
may be that there will be some
play, on a few holes, this fall.
There are in Chapel Hill a num-
Der of enthusiastic golfers who
are willing to start in and en-
joy themselves nightly long
before they get q layout such as
one sees in photographs of
national championships.
Besides what the club borrow
ed on mortgage, $500 has been
collected in initiation fees and
dues. Six hundred dollars has
been available for putting the
golf links in shape, and the
amount that was borrowed to
complete the house still falls
$500 short of the authorized in
debtedness; that additional $500
can be obtained at any time the
directors say the word
There are now 1913 members,
and more are sure to be added
to the roll in the fall. Students
are to be admitted to the golf
ing privileges, upon the payment
OF proper tees. Enough income
is III sight to make it certain
that the finances of the organi-
zatlon are solid. The house cost
approximately $6,5OO.
Five or six acres of Univer-
sity land, adjoining the club
grounds, can be obtained tor
the extension of the course to
what is called professional"
length.
One of the pressing immedi-
ate needs is a roller, and prob
able one will be purchased soon.
The rocks that trouble the
links-builders are mainly on the
first fairway. Since there is a
great demand for rocks for the
concrete that is to go into the
new University construction,
the sale of those on the club
grounds, at the regular market
price, is expected at least to
equal the cost of getting them
out of the way.

Nick Moulese the restaurant

the Pennsylvania Hotel in New

got through looking at the lob
by he couldn't find his way out
and had to ask a porter ito lead
him to the street. Another dis
covery he says he made in the
city was that white-and-blue
checked seersucker suits, of the
sort worn in these parts, were
not fashionable. He found peo-
pie staring at him when he APP
peared on Broadway with his,
and straightway he went back
to his room and made a change.
AS soon as he arrived in Chapel

again.

ravel Notes
By L. G.

{
the hotel in Roxboro the other
cay Josiah w. Bailey walked in,
smiling and happy, He told me
he had travelled 10000 miles in
North Carolina in a hundred
days. The phrase brought to
my mind the fateful closing
period in the career of another
capable and ambitious man,
namely Napoleon the Great.
The time that followed his re-
turn from Elba is known in his
tory as the Hundred Days. And
the end thereof was Waterloo.
But I would not draw too close a
parallel between this and Mr..
Bailey's Hundred Days. Be-
cause the primaries are not yet,
and before they come many
days will be added to the five
score, and many miles to the
10000.
Mr.. Bailey is, to me, a most
entertaining man. l have heard
him talk often, in friendly con-
versation and from the platform,
and he is never wearisome.
Without doubt he is a person
atty. He can even make dull fig
ures lose their dullness. What
he said to group of us about
State finances in Roxboro is just
what he has been saying in his
speeches, so there was nothing
confidential about it. The bur-
den of his song is that the pro-
posal to levy an ad valorem
State tax, on land, is all wrong.
And he talks of the need of econ
omy-of expenditures, author
lied by the last legislature, that
might well have been dispensed
with.
1t seems to me that Mr.. Bai-
ley's discourses on State prob
lens are calculated to mislead
people about what to expect in
the way of expenditures. In
preaching the need of economy,
of course he is on sound ground.
Everybody will agree that the
legislature ought to use it's ap-
propriating power prudently.
But would not Mr.. Bailey be at
tacking a much more important
and pressing question if he de-
voted his talk less to how the
State is going to save a million
or so, and more to how it is 60
ing to meet the increased needs
in it's program of progress? On
ly a little while ago Mr.. High
smith, State Inspector of high
schools, was telling an audience
in Chapel Hill that there were
only $4,000 students in North
Cardinals high schools when
there should be 100000. And
the institutions, for higher edu-
cation and other purposes, have
got to go on expanding. This
is a matter of course if North
Carolina is to continue growing
and who is willing for it to
stop?
| should like to have Mr..
Bailey land every other candi-
date) say something like this:
1--WE ought to insist that the
legislature examine every mon
ey-spending proposal minutely,
and that it refuse to use the pub
lie funds for unnecessary and
wasteful projects. But let us
not deceive ourselves into the
belief that the total of appro-
priations is going to fall. On
the contrary, it is bound to go
up unless we are willing to halt
