people in the southern part of the coun,
ty will read of the advice he gives the
people in the north.
Mr.. Harris learned farming at the
A. & E. College, but he is a practical
farmer too. He ran his own place, and
raised his own cotton and tobacco and
other things, He made money, and he
lost some when the slump came. His
experience has taught him lot. Orange
county is getting the benefit of all he
has learned.
Another agricultural expert, r. "A.
Whitener, who was raised on north
Georgia farm and afterwards went to
the University of Georgia, has recently
come to the Chapel Hill school He is
going back and forth through the coun-

Farmers of Orange County
Will Read of Harris's s Work
The Chapel Hill Weekly Will Tell of What Doing Help
Solve Problems of Country Folk

=~a. Every farming family in Orange
county knows R. P. Harris, who teaches
agriculture in the Chapel Hill school.
He goes all about the county in his
: sE'ord car, demonstrating to the children
in the schools, attending farmers
meetings, and often helping to solve diff
ficulties on farms. He knows the peo-
pie and he knows their needs.
This newspaper is going to have a
good deal to say about Mr.. Harris IS
work. 1t will print articles about what
he is doing in the county, and some
times it will print articles over his own
signature
1t will keep the people of Orange ac-
quainted with all he is doing. When
ever he learns some good new way of
fertilizing, the soil, feeding cattle, or
getting a big return from chickens and
eggs, this paper will publish it.
If he tells the people of White Cross
something helpful, the people around

to wait until he comes and tells them

quite different from this, embracing an
expanse of smooth floor, a serviceable

While they went ahead and made plans
the Golf Grouches didn t even have enter

sat around and grumbled about how the

But the Golf Grouches didn t amount
to much. There wercn It enough of them.
The ladies were solidly lined up for the
house; some of the husbands were not
golf fiends, and others were docile So,
at a show down, it is likely that not more
than a dozen dyed in the-wool, last ditch,
real grouchy Golf Grouches could have
been mustered. They took it out in talk.
Tbey never did have look in, to tell
the truth. The writer of this piece, be.

freely of their incidence and general
futility. Anyway, there had to be a

of physical education in the school, a
Field Day will be celebrated. This
event ia set for the second week in May,

With the cellar finished and the walls

The sight of this so-called thoroughfare
is calculated to daunt the most resolute

HERNlDON NOW sure
TO BE POSTMASTER
BE Has Been Recommended BY Republican
State Chairman and viii Probably
Get Place
LONG RESIDENT OF CHAPEL HILL

1t is now certain that Dewitt Hern-
don is going. to be Chapel Hills new
postmaster. AS the WEEKLY appears
the people of the town may have read
already, in Washington despatch, of
the Senate IS favorable action upon his
nomination. If not already out, the news
may be expected any day. 4
There has been much wondering at the
delay of the Senate in confirming the
nomination, and little while ago there
were rumors of opposition. But what
ever opposition there was has been with
drawn.
Some time ago the local Republican
committee voted to recommend another
citizen, but when the civil service exami-
nation came off it was found that he
was not among the first three-and under
the law one of the first three must be
appointed.
f. A. Bowman stood first, Dewitt
Herndon second, and NJ. W. Uzzen third
Mr.. Bowman is comparative stranger.
here. Nobody has said anything against
him. but in every community there is
always naturally a popular preference
for a resident of long standing. Politi
cal ehairmen make it a custom to give
heed to this preference unless there is
some compelling reason not to.
Mr.. Herndon, who is now an en-
ploye of the Bank of Chapel Hill, is
son Of the late s. l.. Herndon.
Chapel Hill is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic. But, since the national admin
stration is Republican, of course the
postmaster goes to member of that
party. 1t is regarded as something of
a plum and from the day the present
incumbent, Robert L. Strowd, announced
his resignation there has been much
speculation as to who would get the
place.
BY reason of the University's g being
here, the Chapel Hill postoffice is far
more important than are postoffices in
other municipalities of the same size.
The presence of 1000 students and the
issuance here of several periodicals Of
considerable circulation make the volume
of business such that the available force
is sometimes put to it to keep up with
the incoming and outgoing mail.
Accordingly, real ability is required of
the postmaster Mr.. Herndon, if he does
go in, has a big job cut out for him,
and there are many who think he is not
to be envied. Mr.. Strowd, who was not
in good health when he took office and
whose repeated pleas to Washington for
better facilities have not met much en-
enlargement, is known to be looking for
ward with pleasure to his retirement.
For long time now his physician has
been urging rest upon him.

CHURCH READY FOR
BAPTIST MAY 18TH
There Have Been Many Delays But
Work is Going on Smoothly Now,
Say be Contractors
CONVENIENT FOR THE STUDENTS

May Is is now set as the day when
the Baptists of Chapel Hill will get into
their big new church on Columbia street.
Az member of the firm of Salmon, Shipp
& Poe, the contractors, tells repre-
sentative of the Weeklysthat it is prac-
tically certain that there will be no
more postponements.
There have been many delays. The
building was to have been finished before
Christmas, but the railway strike came
along to prevent that. Carloads of stone
ordered for the walls stayed on sidings
between here and Kentucky for two
months, and pleading and expostulation
could not move them. Bad weather has
held operations up since winter set in.
Rev. E. L. Baskin g congregation kept
hoping that they could have their first
service Easter Sunday, but many weeks
ago they had to give that up. But it
pleases them to know that they will be
in by Commencement.
The plans for the building. which
were made by H. l.. Cain, of Richmond,
Va, show most remarkable provision
for subsidiary church purposes. Alto
gether there are 40 class-rooms. This
is an institutional - church of the most
Z modern type. IT is meant not only for
religious assemblies, but to be center
of the social life of Baptists in and
around Chapel Hill. And a welcome is
out to visitors, too.
In the basement is a senior assembly
hall, with 10 class rooms, a reading-room
and a library. On the main floor back
of the auditorium are a mothers cloak

may be left safe,-a beginners room, and
business offices of the church and the
Sunday school, and several cass-rooms.
On the second floor are the junior as
sembly and the intermediate assembly
halls; one to the north and one to the
SuutI. EdCH VI tIlcSc HAS 6lBnt CLASS
rooms attached to it, four on the same
level and four ON the third floor reached
by special stairway. The outer walls
of the new church are of limestone and
light pressed brick. In front are six
steel columns 33 feet high, made to re-
semble marble. A fight of reinforced
concrete steps leads up from the street.
University growth has added immense
ly to the problem of every Chapel Hill
church organization. The latest count
shows 46S Baptists in the student body
The old building was long ago made
quate Now there will be ample room
for bible classes and for various activ-
tiles incidental to church work proper.
The position of the new building near
the campus will make it convenient
gathering place for the students.

KENTUCKY CHICKEN
COME HERE BY MAIL
Were Shipped When Hatched and Takenby
SchoObOys 10 be Raised
and Sold
RICHMOND IS THE BEST PLACE

Probably few people in Chapel Hill
know that chickens are sent here by
parcel post from Kentucky, taken in
hand and raised by high school boys,
and later sold at good profit.
The other day 200 chicks came in.
They left Kentucky before they were
"a hours old and made the trip here
in less than two days. R. P. Harris,
the teacher of the agriculture in the
school, who had ordered them, took them
from the postoffice and distributed them
among Walker White, Eric Merritt,
Bruce Sparrow, Henry Tilley, Odell
Blackwood, and Zeb Weeks. These citi
zens put the little tourists in. brooders
and began the raising process that is
going to end up in the transfer of sew
eral good dollars from Richmond, Vir
gina, to Orange county, North Caro-
lima. For it is in Richmond that the
frying-size chickens will probably be
sold
The question at once comes to mind;
Why buy chicks in Kentucky! Can It
they be bought nearer home?
No, they IT. Mr.. Harris says the
best offer he got from hatchery near
Charlotte was $23 hundred, while he
got these from Kentucky for $13 a
hundred all transportation charges paid.
"They send me letter when they
make the shipment,' he told the WEEK
fY representative, 'and l am on the
lookout for them. Usually somebody
calls me by phone from the postofice as
soon as the box arrives. 1t is very rare
that any appreciable number of the
chicks die on the way. You see, the
first two three nays the
critical time with young chicken. The
big risks come later.
81 remember that Albert Canaday,
one of the high school -~Aoys. wanted to
raise some chickens last year and l

one out of the 103 was dead. He raised
most all the others successfully and
cleared $50 over and above all ex-
penses, on the transaction.
Mr.. Harris was asked why Orange
county rasers had to market their chick
ems as far off as Richmond. This seemed
as puzzling as buying 'em in Kentucky.
"Well, we've investigated the nearby
markets. he said "and simply find
that we can It sell to nearly as good ad
vantage in them. In Durham the buy
ers get their chickens by the wagon
load, by contract, and they don t want
to trouble with the few chickens boy
here wants to Sell. But the Richmond
dealers tell us to send 'em along by
express. They are weighed, and the
check in payment is sent promptly.

SILENT POLICEMAN ON GUARD
Squats ON Pavement at Andrews
COrner-Must be Kept ON Left

Chapel Hill has added third member
to its police force. The new officer is
deaf and dumb, and does not walk, talk,
or smoke. It is called the Silent Policeman
and is sometimes described by traffic ex-
perts as "mushreom ''-being a squat,
cast-steel object about inches high,
with ed-lighted windows, that sits in
the middle of the street to regulate the
course of vehicles.
This one is at the very center of the
junction of Franklin and Columbia
streets, the place commonly spoken of as
Az Jews corner. Every driver, whether
of an automobile OF horse-drawn We
hicle, must keep the Silent Policeman
on his left. If you get confused as to
which is right and left, and are in
doubt which side to aim for, go the way
you d rather not go and you re pretty
sure to be right. In short, this is like
all other traffic regulators, animate and
inanimate.
Gustave NJ Braune, engineering pro
fessor and member of the board of alder
men, told the Town Club about the new
installation at meeting the other night,
and explained why it was where it was.
Mr.. Braune went to New York not long
ago and some of the feastors were so
frivolous as to 'say-in an undertone,
however-that he became enamored of
the structures in the middle of Fifth
Avenue and then and there decided to
introduce modern traffic regulation in
Chapel Hill. But that is alT wrong. Tie
city fathers we're considering this inl-
provement long before he ever made the
trip to the big city.
If any citizen in hurry to get from
the stores to the campus cuts the corner,
keeping the Silent Policeman on his
right, then the next time he comes down
town he had better look out; because
one of the real walking and talking po-
licemen is apt to arrest him for disc
btyifg- the mTenr''TUr- Ithe ffuTce'
And he will then be hailed before Mayor
Robertson and made to pay a fine.
The aldermen have put into effect
other traffic regulations. One is that
automobiles must not stand with their
long dimension parallel with the side
walk, but when parked must be at an
angle of from rs to 30 degrees with the
curb. None may be parked within 20
feet of street corner or within Is feet
of hydrant.
In the busy part Of town, the auto
mobile driver who wants to turn around
must go on to the next corner and make
the turn there. And he must give the
proper signal with his hand and horn.
When one is approaching another We
hicle coming in the opposite direction
lie must dim his lights, and this applies
all over town. Operation with cut
out, or with plugs out of the muffler,
is prohibited
Cameron avenue, Franklin street, and
Rosemary street are declared right of
way streets, and vehicles turning into
them or crossing them must bear the
burden of responsibility for careful
driving.
