Country Club Opening
Picnic Supper, Followed by Dance,
Next Thursday

The Country Club will have it's
opening next Thursday, May II.
The fun will start off with pic
mis- at six o'clock, to which mem
bers will bring part of the meal
in their own baskets. The club
will serve coffee and wienieS and
bacon.
After the supper there will be
dancing, with music by a stu
dents orchestra.
The idea of the arrangements
committee in having six o'clock
supper is to give the members a
chance to see the club grounds
and the fine view.
When the club was burned out
three years ago, it was cleaned
out of all its property. 1t needs
urgently china and other house
keeping articles. Therefore it is
suggested that each member
bring something as gift to the
club; not necessarily anything
valuable, but something like a
plate, or a cup and saucer, or a
glass. Simple patterns are want
ed, rather than anything fancy.

Carrboro Animal News
Herbert Lloyd Richer by 3 Goats
and a Colt.

Herbert Lloyd is richer by
several animals than he was a
week ago. And wasn't it lucky
they came just after May /, tax
listing day?
In the enclosure a hundred
yards north of the railway sta
tion, three kids, one male and
two females, were born Friday
night to Madame Nanny. They
are hardly bigger than good-siz-
ed kittens, and if the children
of Chapel Hill knew how cunnin'
they were there would be a
steady stream of visitors to the
old shed that serves as their
home.
The night after the arrival of
the goats, a colt was born in the
same yard. The goats and the
colt have already made one
another's acquaintance and are
getting along splendidly togeth-
er.
But there is an entry to be
made on the other side of the
Carrboro animal ledger. Mrs.
B. B. Lloyd's bulldog, Spickett
died toward the end of the week.
The death caused great sorrow
among the neighbors as well as
in the Lloyd family, for Spickett
was well known and we'll liked.

Swimming Pool Opens
Weather Unfavorable, But Barbecue
Was Fine.

Summer is officially here. So
it was decreed when Joe Spar
rows swimming pool in Carr
boro- had its opening last Sat.
urday. Admission was free on
that day. Glenn Sparrow stay
ed up the preceding night pre-
pairing a barbecue for the horde
Of bathers who were expected to
work up a ravenous appetite
while happily sporting in the
green waters of the pool.
The weather man, however,
with his usual disregard of hol-
idays, played havoc with the
plans. Clouds, rain, and .aschill
in the air which made a sweater
feel comfortable took away for
most people the attraction of a
swim in the pool. 1t was quite
evident to Carrboro Democrats
that this unfavorable weather
was caused by the Republican
administration now in power.
A party of young people from
the Chapel Hill high school fur
nished most of the swimmers in
the morning. The few hardy
souls who did venture into the
water soon came out and warm
ed their shivering bodies around
a small fire of sticks. Appe-
tites were ravenous, and the bar
becue was delicious. A number
of people who did not care to
swim came for dinner.
Those Chapel Hillians who
have never been to the swim
ming pool built last spring by
Mr.. Sparrow, will be surprised
on their first visit to find what
a real summer resort Carrboro
has. The hundred foot long
pool, nesting at the bottom of
a most romatic dell, and fill
ed with filtered water from
Chapel Hill and the pure water
from two nearby springs, will
be very inviting during the hot
days of Summer. The pool is
out of doors, is built of brick
and concrete, and is surrounded +.
by a broad ledge and a cement
walk.
Near the pool are bath houses
such as are seen at seashore re-
sorts. There is a lunch stand
for hungry swimmers and on
lockers, and barbecue is to be
served every Saturday. Sew
eral tables built among the
rocks and trees of the ravine are
DroVidad for nicnickerS.

MISS NANCY AND HER l3

A troop of l3 students were
seen marching two abreast along
Battle street just before II
O'Clock Sunday morning, all
bound for church. They were
following meekly behind Miss
Nancy Battle-meekly bat with
much laughter and other signs
of joy. The Pied Piper of Ham
elm didn't have his bewitched
rats under any more powerful
spell than that which Miss Nancy
seemed to be exercising over her
squad.

ELECTED MAYOR
The New Aldermen Are Carroll,
Braune, Andrews, Cheek and =
b, - Whitfield.
WIEGAND GOT rs VOTES.


In the biennial municipal E.
lection Tuesday the voters of
Chapel Hill reelected w. S. Rob-
erson for rayor over Carl Vie
gand. young Chapel Hill lawyer
and former student in the Uni
-versity. Roberson's vote was
314 to Wiegand'S 76. The vote
was the heaviest ever cast in
Chapel Hill.
The excitement about the STU
dents vote simmered down to
nothing. Of the approximately 100
students who registered, the ma
jority were disqualified because
it was shown, to the satisfaction
of the judges Of the election, that
they were not bona fide resi-
dents. A few were declared eligi-
BILE to vote and did vote. One
student, j. P. Trotter, declared
not Chapel Hill citizen by the
judges, entered a protest against
the decision, and the word "con-
tested" was written opposite his
name on the registration books.
This is probably the last that
will ever be heard of it. Mr..
Trotter spoke jokingly of the
matter yesterday and gave it to
be understood that he would
carry the protest no further.
The men elected to the board
of aldermen, and the number of
votes each received, are as fol-
lows:
D. D. Carroll, 292
G. M. Braune, 278
j. NJ. Cheek, 272
R. P. Andrews, 248
H. A. Whitfield, 213
There is a report that J. M.
Cheen will decline to serve. In
that case, Carl Durham who
stood sixth, will be a member of
the board.

Chapel Hill Chaf

When | pass by the old Hearn
place opposite the west gate of
the campus, where the new D.
K. E. fraternity house is now
going up, | am reminded of an
incident in Coblenz during the
A1mistice. A group of us, all
new acquaintance one of the
other, were sitting on a porch
overlooking the Rhine, and we
began to exchange information
as to where we came from in
the United States. When | said
that Chapel Hill, North Caro-
lima, was my home, | saw at
once thatI had acquired stand
ing; and in another moment |
found out why.
That's the place Bunny
Hearn came 'front.'" exclaimed
one of the men, Damon Runyon,
a New Yorker, looking at me
with respect he had not shown
before.
Bun Hearn, as ALI know or
ought to know, went from here
to win renown as a big league
pitcher. He came back later as
University coach, and now he
lives in Wilson. These men with
whom | was talking had never
heard of Chapel Hill except as
Buns birthplace. l have been
wishing he would come by here
so that l might tell him about
it and thank him for giving me
a place of honor in the gather
ing beside the Rhine.
This makes my thoughts turn
to young baseball heroes of
past days in Chapel Hill. There
was one named Arthur Kirk
land, who played shortstop and
whom we nicknamed McGinty
for what reason | have no
idea. A song in high favor at
about that time began: "Down
went McGinty to the bottom of
the} sea-" | suppose we tied
kirkland up, somehow, with the
character in the song. | wonder
where he is?
Another of the towns ablest
ballplayers twenty-eight or
thirty years ago was Sugar"
usually abbreviated to "Sug"
-Pritchard. l remember well a
Durham-C Chapel Hill game in
which he figured. 1t was raining
and the ground was muddy.
"Sug' was playing centerfield.
A fly was knocked toward him,
and he started forward to catch
it. His legs flew out from under
him, bringing him to a sitting
position. But his impetus con-
tinued to carry him forward.
So, seated, but moving rapidly
along on the mud, he slid unde
the ball and made a triumphan
and perfect catch. This was
what beat Durham.

WOMEN, TOOFAT,
TRAINING It OFF
~'Banting Class" In Action
Thrice Weekly at East End
of Town.
RESTORING WAIST LINES

duclng women received SO much
publicity not long ago through
its Health Commissioner, DR..
Copeland, is not alone in its
crusade against female avoirdu-
pois. Chapel Hill boasts of a
banting squad of women every
bit as determined as their nor
thern sisters. This class, con-
sisting of less than a dozen men,
bers, most of whom desire to
grow thin but with a few sprink-
led in who simply wish to keep
young and peppy, 60 through
vigorous setting-up exercises
three times a week in a spacious
dining room at the east end of
town.
The conductor of ceremonies
is an expert, having received a
diploma from Susanna Cocroft,
the famous woman health build
er who puts you into perfect
shape by correspondence cours-
es and whose portrait one sees
in the advertising columns of
all womens' magazines. Once
some suspicious person got out
the report that Susanna was not
a beautiful lady at all, but was
five doctors with boards; but
this has been proved false, and
her followers here in Chapel
Hill are ardent in their praise
of her methods of attaining the
perfect figure.
One enthusiastic pupil of the
Chapel Hill reducing class says:
'"There is nothing like it for
making you fit. l come home
feeling as lively as race horse.
We all get down on the floor and
roll and fling ourselves about,
obeying the instructors orders
no matter how impossible the
feat may seem at first. Some
times when we look at each 9TH
rer, arrayed in bloomers bor-
rowed from our fapper daugh-
ters, we have to stop our roll
ing and kicking to laugh. We
get in such a gale we fairly
shake the cups and saucers in
the cupboards around the WALL"
The woman who teaches the
exercises is not a resident of
Chapel Hill She goes about
the State, forming classes of
women who, having for a time
neglected their waist lines, are
ambitious enough to follow the
old precept, "It's never too late
to mend a figure" 1t is agreed
that she gets excellent results.
Lying on ones back on the
sible is a favorite exercise for
reducing certain areas of un-
wanted flesh, and one Chapel
Hill woman says she has even
cured headache that way. Of
course rolling off superhuouS
hips is a Well-knoWn cure, but
- it is much easier to practice this
when one has companions than
alone or amid the jeers of the
family, who are so apt to think
that if you are inclined to be fat
it is your own fault. But now
nobody need remain any longer
the butt of family jests--that
is, nobody with energy enough
to join a benting class.
With the coming of summer,
the class will soon break up, and
many of the women are be-
moaning the departure Of their
teacher, for the lure of the se-
ductive hammock is hard to
combat by oneself. But they all
plan to renew their exercises in
the fall with increased vigor.

FARM PRODUCTS
SOLD ON STREET
Curb Market Will Be in Opera
tiOn Wednesday and Sat-
Urday Mornings.
LASTS FROM 9 TO IL A. M.

/ operation henceforth on Wed
nesdays and Saturdays, from 8
to II o'clock, on Columbia
street, between Andrews Store
and the fire house. r. P. Harris,
agriculture teacher in the
school, is running it from the
farmers y end-that is, he is
undertaking to see that the far
mers bring in the products
and Mrs. H. W. Odum acting as
an official of the Community
Club, is the chief stimulator of
interest among the consumers.
This market is capable of be-
ing developed into a fine thing
for both producers and consul
mers," said Mr.. Harris yester-
day. Chapel Hill. is a good mar
ket for fresh country products
and with its rapid growth is get
ting to be better one every
day. The trouble heretofore has
been a proper lack of contact be-
tween farmers and the people
of the town. We are trying to
bridge that gap.
"Not only for the producers
and consumers is the market a
good thing, but for the whole
business community of Chapel
Hill. The market will not take
trade away from the merchants
to any appreciable extent, be-
cause the merchants do not be-
gin to supply the demand for
fresh vegetables. What a curb
market will do, if it gets to run
ming we'll, will be to save peo-
pie the necessity of going to
Durham to buy what they would
much rather get in Chapel Hill.
In the end Chapel Hill mer-
chants will gain from the stim-
ulation of production among the
farmers, and from the growing
revenue to the farmers from the
sale of garden products. This
will be new money-money that
has not been coming in before.
eve have got plenty of good
soil in Orange, around Chapel
Hill, for the raising of potatoes,
roasting ears, beans, peas, let.
tuce, onions-all the vegetables
for which there is the greatest
demand. Any farmer who puts
his farm on an adequate self
feeding basis is bound to pro-
duce a great deal more than he
needs, with very little extra
trouble and expense, and this
surplus should be turned into
profit.
Better even than in vege-
TdU16S, IS TTTC UPf0T 5uTTTry n
eggs and poultry. There is a
constant demand for them, and
Re farmers have been learning
what big egg production they
can get if they use pure-bred
fowls. Butter can be sold to
advantage, too. The farmers
can't compete with the cream
cry butter for table use, but
since they can undersell cream
cry butter, their country pro
duct will be in demand for cook
inG purposes.
Farmers in reach of Chapel
Hill ought to cultivate early gar
den truck, for it is in the early
season that the demand is the
greatest. Later on, when pric-
es are low, the farmer can do
preserving and canning for his
own household; OF, Since pro-
duction of late truck is less cost
Ily, he can afford to sell at low
er prices then and still make a
profit"

Inventory Taken of Damag.
in Southern California &

San Demanding, July 24.--Inven-
tory of the damage of Sunday
nights earthquake, completed last
night, showed that> three persons
were injured and about $4,000 dam
age in the city of San Bernardino,
$4,000 in Radlands and extensive
damage to the southern California
state hospital for the insane at Pat
ton and the general hospitals east
and west wings were shattered to
such an extent that $40 patients were
ordered removed. Replacement value
of the wings declared unfit for occu-
pancy was estimated at 100000. At
the General hospital damage consist.
ed of demolished plaster on each of
the three floors, cracked thing ard
damage to ornamental work.
Damage to San Bernardino con-
sisted largely of cracked walls in
various school buildings, court house
and business blocks. The Hall of
Records, which lost an immense
chimney, was the building most dam
aged.
Interior walls. of the court house,
the tallest building here, we're crack
ed through in half dozen places.
Some of these walls were two feet
thick,
At the Hall of Records adjoining
the court house, barriers were erect
ed today to keep onlookers at a dis
lance.
After an inspection of the junior
high school, a three story structure
erected in 1892, officials of the board
of education announced that the third
floor probably would have to be re-
moved. City officials announced only
one business structure, an old two:
story buildingl would be condemned.
Persons who were camping in both
the San Bernardino and San Jacinto
mountains told of roar which pre-
coded the earthquake. Rocks rolled
from canyon sides.
Marked increase in the flow of
streams near here has occurred since
the earthquake.
