The Plain Duty of Congress

Great Britain has accepted Americas offer modifying
the terms of Brains $4,000 100000 debt TO the United
States.
To make the offer binding, congress must ratify it.
That is congress must amend the refunding act to con-
form to the terms.
Already there is talk of terrific battle in congress
against ratification There talk of the present congress
packing up and leaving Washington on March without
having taken action
Congress ought to rafy the offer before quits the
job If it doesn't special session viii become imperative
Ratification will be big step in the direction of world
peace and sterilization
The spectacle of the two greatest nations the face
of the globe the two nations upon which civilization nj
this moment hangs all its hopes, hagging over their
debts certainly will not be conducive to settlement
as between France and Germany.
Particularly destructive will the spectacle be IL the pro-
fessonal twisters of the lions tail fight the battle Of
Bunker Hill all over again and give the world the impress
sion-altogether false-that Britain and America are
about to fly At each others threats
Congress must cut out that sort of stuff. In the
first place, it's cheap. In the second place. the world
can't stand much more pickering.
Congress has been standing in the way of world

Carrboro Mill Burned
Loss, $4,000; Lightning May Have
Started Fire

j, a. Fowler's flour mill in
Carrboro, near the railway sta
ton, was destroyed by fire Sat-
urday night. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000.
There is uncertainty as to
how the fire started, but Mr..
Fowler says the best guess
seems to be that it was struck
by lightning. A policeman was
looking toward the mill and saw
{. brilliant flash Just before the
building took fire.
The Chapel Hill fire company
reached the scene soon after
the alarm was given, but they
did not have a chance of saving
the mill. The place was filled
with smoke, and it was next to
IMPOSSIBLE en- account of the
smallness /of the windows and

was nearly choked and had to be

STUDENTS VOTE
IS IN QUESTION
100 Are Registered, But They
May Not. Be Eli
gible
LEGAL FIGHT RUMORED

Next Tuesday the citizens of
Chapel Hill will choose either w. S.
Robertson or Carl Wiegand for their
mayor. There is "a buzz of talk
about the contest up and down
Franklin street. The main develop
metlt out Of the ordinary is the
registration of about hundred
students. Whether they may legally
vote or not is in doubt, If they are
bona fide residents, they may; if
the are not bona fide residents, they
. viii be disqualified.
That is a question of fact, each
case to be decided on it's merits.
The law is that a voter mu$t~have
lived lin the township four months.
Court decisions are to the effect,
however, that merely having stay
ed in a place that length of time
does not constitute residence in the
sense of the statute.
Anybody who registers here must
be prepared to show that he con-
ajders Chapel Hill, and no other
town, as his real home. Judges of
election will pass on voters quail
fcations. They will meet Monday,
the day before election.
There is some talk of injunction
proceedings, or other legal action,
if students are disqualified. The
Wiegand adherents claim that the
students are eligible The Robertson
forces say that a few of them are,
but that must Of ti1c1111 a Z rot.
X No candidates for aldermen have
appeared. One ticket that is being
talked of is made up of j. NJ. Cheek,
c. S. Mangum, M. W. Durham, W.
P. Jordan, and II. W. Odun. An
other suggested ticket bears the
names Of Gustave M. Braune, II. f..
Conner, Henry A. Whitfield, Bruce
Strowd, and j. M. Cheek.
1t has been found that II. W..
Odum is not eligible because he
will be living outside the town
limits when his new home is fin
