Speediest Building
Record Being Set By Home O,
McCaaIes Street

A record for fast home-buil,
ding ls about to be set by Clar-
ence 1. Wills, whose new home
is going up on McCauley street
next to James Huskey's. There
are five rooms and q bath, all
on one floor, with an attic
above.
The contract was let last
month to Charles Martindale.
This is Mr.. Martindale's first
venture as a contractor, his
work having been done hitherto
on the basis of payments for
time and material.
The water connection was
made and the laying of brick for
the foundations began Friday.
September 284three weeks ago
tomorrow. The outer structure
OF the house is now complete
except for the front porch col
umns, and the plastering and
painting are done. The last of
the flooring and plumbing work
are in progress. A few finish
ing touches remain to be put ON.
and the owner expects to move
into a completed home toward
the end of next week.
Simple enough" says Mr..
Martindale." Instead of having
two, three, or four men work on
one part of the house and then
move on to another, / just have
a dozen or two busy on several
parts at the same time"

Of course there are stringent
rules, as in the mems frater-

ways of telling a person she's

JUDTlVU TEAMS
AT STATE FAIR
Chapel Hill, School Completes
In Sizing Up" Livestock
and Crops
A BIG BANQUET TONIGHT

Two Judging teams" from
the Chapel Hill school, one for
crops, the other for livestock,
went down to Raleigh to. the
State Fair yesterday to compete
with other school boys. from all
over North Carolina, in passing
upon the merits of farm animals
and farm products. They made
the trip through the country in
automobiles.
The livestock team is made up
of Hubert Hogan, James Dor
sett, Leon Gooch, and Marvin
Dawson; the crops team of
Bruce Sparrow, Lewis Durham,
Miss Halle Andrews, Wade At
water, and john Sparrow.
This morning Thursday, at
half past eight o'clock, the
judging of livestock begins. It
will 60 on until one o'clock. In
the afternoon the boys-the
lone girl, too, presumably
take in the Carolina-State Col
lege football game. At night the
President of the college gives a
big banquet to all the members
of high school agriculture class
es. fsThere are expected to be
from 500 to 600 present.
The judging Of crops takes
place tomorrow friday morn
ing. The afternoon will be CIV
en- over to the teams to see the
sights of the fair, and in the
evening they will come back
home.
Last years livestock team
from Chapel Hill stood fourth
out of as teams entered, while
the crops teams was at about
the middle of the list. 1t would
not be surprising If the lat
ter group made a much better
showing this year, for they have
been practicing hard. A few
days ago they were taken to
the State College and were en-
tered in contest there, prelim-
mary to the State Fair event.
While the Chapel Hill boys
are in Raleigh they are sleep
ing in cots in the agricultural
building of the college. They
have the privilege of eating in
the dining hail at 25 cents q
meal, or, if they prefer, may
patr0nize restaurants and cafe
terias. Thus their trip is an
economical one.

GOVT. APPROVES
CARRIER PLAN
Mail 10 Be Delivered Through
out the Town Not Long At
ter November First
TWO ROUNDS EVERY DAY

An inspector from the Post
master Generals office, clothed
with authority to decide, has
been here and has put the final
10. K. on the house-to- house mail
delivery system for Chapel Hill.
| Probably it win 60 into effect
mot long after the first day of
lNovember-as soon as each
University building is fitted out
with the required batteries of
individual boxes on the ground
floor.
Before the post-office depart
ment win inaugurate a carrier
system for any town it always
looks into the matter of side
walks, house numbers, and pro-
vision for receiving the mail at
each house. So the inspector
and Postmaster Herndon took a
walk over the whole town-the
campus, the east end, the Pitts
boro road section, the district
towards Carrboro. and the col
Eored folks quarters to the west
and north. When the tour was
Iover the man from Washington
said Chapel Hill qualified well
as a place for house-to-house
delivery.
Every house viii have to
have some sort of box to re-
ceive the mail, or else a slot in
the door," he said. "Bnt no par
ticular pattern of box Is requir-
ed. That is left to the house.
holder. All that is required is
that the carrier shall not have
to wait for someone to come to
the door and shall not leave
mail lying loose on the steps or
porch"
On the campus, the scheme is
to construct a little enclosure
on the ground floor of each buih
ding. The main wall of this en-
closure will consist of lock-
boxes. The space behind will be
reached through a door to Rhich
the carrier keeps the key. He
will distribute mail among the
boxes from the rear, and the
students who live in the bull
ding will unlock their boxes
from the front.
There will be two carriers for
the town, including the campus.
They will start out about half
past nine o'clock, after the ar
rival of the morning mail, and
ION this trip will deliver the mail
that has come in that morning
and the previous night. Then
they viii make another round
In the early afternoon to deliver
the mail that comes in at mid

Letters and newspapers will
Ebe delivered, but not parcel

Twill bid the citizens come to the
post-&hce for their packages.
One consequence Of the in
production of carriers will be
the enforcement by the govern
ment of the rule against rent
ing box at the post-office to
more than one person. At
present, because Of the emer-
gency, three persons are allow

and citizens have already ex-
pressed the desire to keep boxes
at the post-ofIicOy instead of
having their mail delivered. This
choice is allowed them-as long
