The contract for the new bull
ding Of the Orange County
Training school, Chapel Hin's
negro institution, has been let to
F. NJ. Williams of Durham, and
October 1st is set as IT,. tim:
for completion. Of the total

given by the General Education
Board.
On a hill out at the end CT
Church street, about half a mile
north of the old Bapt;st churcn,
the site is particularly we'll suit.
ed to the purposes of a school,
There are six and a half acres of
land, so that there will be ample
room not only for a playground
and practice work in gardening,
but for future expansion of the
building.
The plans show a one-story
structure of brick and tile, with
nine classrooms and a central
auditorium. If there are rooms
added later, they will be on the
ground, not in the form of sec
ond story. Thus the danger of
fire will be minimized.
M. c. S. Noble, DR.. Charles
S. Mangum, and j. S. Holmes
compose the committee that has
put the school scheme through.
While they have gone ahead
with the work Of getting the ap-
preparations and having plans
made, the leading negro citizens
of Chapel Hill have been active
in raising money for equipment
and other school necessities.
"The committee has decided
to name the auditorium for Hen
ry Strowd," said Mr.. Noble yes
terday. This is in recognition
of the keen interest and help
fulness of this respected colored
citizen. When we decided on a
new building, after the old one
burned, we had great difficulty
IN getting a site. Henry Strowd
came to our aid by agreeing to
sell us six and a half acres of his
property at a reasonable price"
The present attendance of the
school, which has both elemen-
tary and high school grades, is
around $50. The new building
will accommodate 400 pupils.
The high school department will
receive boys and girls from all
over Orange county.

Tables scattered under the
trees, pretty girls in pretty
frocks moving to and fro as
mattresses, smatrons serving
Brunswick stew and sandwiches
and chicken salad and ice cream,
men and boys distributing bot

in the grove at Orange church,

church, arranged and put
through by the Ladies Aid So

help wipe out the debt on the
new church building recently
erected.
Before the crowd went home
every particle of food had been
sold, the last few pieces of cake
being sold at auction. A check

MYSTIFY DURHAM
He Is Charged With Duty of
Having Veterans Fill
Out Blanks
MEETING TO BE CALLED

Carl Durham, commander of
the Chapel Hill post of the
American Legion, was puzzled
the other morning by the arrival
of a big box from Washington.
Opening it, he found several
hundred sets of blanks to be
filled out by the ex-service men
who are entitled to a free in
:zsurance premium under the new
bonus law.
The mystification of Com
mander Durham, instead of
ending with the discovery of the
contents of the box, was in
creased by a perusal of the docu-
ments. The directions seem to
be even more complicated than
those that apply to the income
tax.
For one thing, there is a
space on the application for the
veterans fingerprints. How is
The fingerprlnting to be done for
scores of men on farms scattered
over Orange county? And how
about the veteran who is dead
and whose widow or children
ARE applying for the bonus ?
This one about fingerprints is
only one of dozens of questions
that confront Mr.. Durham, Ad-
jutant William B. Neal, and
Treasurer Charles E. Gooch of
the local post.
Even a well-educated man,
familiar with filling out Gov
'ernment blanks, would be non
plussed by the bonus blanks
but great many of the veterans
in this section are not Well-edu-
Gated, and indeed some of them
do not know how to read and
write.
The only way out of the diff
flculty seems to be to call big
meeting-With a barbecue, per-
haps, as an incident-and get
as many eX-service men as pos
slble to prepare the blanks all
at one time. Officials of the
Legion would station themselves
al tables and assist every ap-
plicant.
Before this can be done, of
course, Mr.. Durham and his
associates, and no doubt H. A.
Whitfield and others who will be
rung in as advisers, will them
selves have to make an intensive
study Of the documents. Incl
dentally, they will have to eouip
themselves with powerful glas-
ses in order to read the fine
print instructions" that come
from Washington.
In the first paragraph of the
Instructions, veterans are
urged not to write to the Gov
ernment for duplicate discharge
papers, but are told to fill out
the application from memory
to the best of your ability" And,
If you do not use the type
writer or can not write plainly,
take your application to one of
your friends, who will undoubt-
edly be glad to help you."' In
this section Mr.. Durham and his
fellow Legion officers are to play
the part of the helpful friends.
The Chapel Hill post of the
Legion is the only one in Orange
county, and so the commander
here is responsible for all the
county's veterans. But he ex-
poets to get some body in Hills
boro-S. M. Gattis and his son
have been mentioned as posi-
ii Ibiiififttiieess-to constitute branch

Chapel Hill Chaff


Saturday evening. Next to her
on the fence side of the walk,
was Freddie Patterson, swinging
along with a daring Lochinvar
air. On her right was a chubby
red-headed boy whom I did not
recognize. And next the curb
was one of the Lawrences, look
ing, / thought, a little sorrowful
because he was not closer by. If
Carolyn does not keep her re-
tinues within reason, when she
goes to parties, one of two things
will have to be done: either the
march must be two abreast, or
else Town Manager Knox must
be persuaded to widen the side
walks.

On the way to Orange church
Saturday afternoon / saw Cap
tain Billy Pritchard surveying
a row of cement slabs along the
road about two feet from the
edge of his lawn. "You see I'm
building a graveyard" he said,
Everything here except the in
scriptions." And, indeed, the
slabs did have just the look of
tombstones. Then he explained
that he had put them there to
protect a pipe line from break
age by heavy vehicles. Once
again I was impressed by the
vigor he displayed at his ad-
vanced age. He told me he had
moved his whole lawn within
the day, and now, as he toiled
with rock and dirt, he gave no
sign of weariness.
Mimosa blossoms delight the
eye everywhere you turn these
days, and their delicate fra
GRANGE pervades the village. One
of the most beautiful displays
is on the hillside near the new
Braune home, at the edge of the
old Tenney farm. There is a
row of mimosas bordering the
sidewalk in front of Mrs. KIuttz'
nd dozens of yards have their
one OF two trees.
The charm of walled gardens
has been sung oft and again, but
| am glad the walls in Chapel
Hill are not high enough to OBJ
scure the flowers from passers-
by. From Hillsboro street, when
you look over into the Kluttz
place, you now see giant holly
hooks of many colors, and
phlox, and dahlias, and Shasta
daisies, and don't know how
many other brilliant breeds.
1t is good to see little Celia
Durham playing about so
healthy and strong after her Sc
we're illness of a few months
ago. She did not get really well
until her tonsils were removed
week before last. Now she is
fairly bubbling with energy and
high spirits.
The open air has become a Sc
rlous rival to the church as a
place for weddings. Hubert
Heffner and Miss Blanche Pen
ny were married in Battles
Park two years ago, and this
month the nuptials of Arthur
Chase and Miss Whitehead were
celebrated there. Sometimes
they choose one spot, sometimes
another, - Lovers Lean. or

maybe some nameless rock or

The game was featured by hits,

Death Came as Shock

Death Came as Shock
Although he was known to have
been in failing health for some time,
ne had been seen on the streets al
most daily by his many friends until
several weeks ago, the news of his
death, therefore, coming as a distinct
shock to his host of old-time friends,
although the end was not entirely
unexpected by the members of his
immediate family.
Hon. Walter Cooper came by oxen
and horse-drawn prairie schooners
across the plains in 1863, and had
been a resident of Bozeman since
1869, taking an active and an honor
able part in the early history of the
city of Bozeman, the county of Gal
latin and the state of Montana, all of
which he loved with an affection that
only the frontier adventurers of early
time can know.
Helped to Frame Constitution
He was one of the very few surviv-
ing members of the convention thar
framed the constitution of the state
of Montana; ne had the distinction OF
being the first president of the Pion-
eers' Society of Gallatin county, serv
ing two terms in that capacity with
honor to himself and credit to the or
ganization, and was in the chair al
the time of the Golden Jubilee Of
Montana Territory, and the Silver An
niyersary of Montana's statehood il
1914. He had also ably served tern
as president of the Society of Mon
tana Pioneers, and had served as his
torian of the local society prior Il
