Carter Told it to StrOwd

People on the street near the
Bank of Chapel Hill Saturday
saw H. D. Carter and Robert L.
Strowd in a conversation, and
since there seemed to be un-
usual animation in the colloquy
some of the citizens drew near
to hear what was going on. 1t
turned out that Mr.. Carter was
explaining to Mr.. Strowd that
part of the bank building was
tapping illegally over the side
walk. The capitalist-who with
Dr.. Kluttz, makes up Chapel
Hills leisure class-was listen
ing with a dazed expression,
evidently overcome by the archl-
tect's flow of speech. Mr..
Strowd is a member of the board
of directors and had a good deal
TO do with the erection OF the
new structure, and perhaps ne
was seeing visions of himself
being led off to jail for selzlng
mart of the towns thorough
fare. Taken quite by surprise
he was hesitating for a reply
when H. A. Whitfield, in an au-
tomobile at the curb, called 10
him to come jump in and take a
ride. With a look OF deep rellei
bo left the field to Mr.. Carter
and joined the lawyer AN 'Ne "a

Girl Players at Party
Basketball Teams Are Supper Guests
of Mrs. LawsOn's

AS guests of Mrs. Robert B.
Lawson, the members of the
girls basketball squad of the
Chapel Hill school gathered for
a supper in the social rooms of
the Presbyterian church.
Gold basketballs, as trophies,
were presented to the team,
Misses Halle Andrews, Lucille
Hogan, Myrtle Suggs, Betty
Winston, Estelle Lawson, and
Mildred Walker. The substi-
tutes, Misses Mildred Cate, Bet
sy Woollen, and Frances Neville,
received silver basketballs; Miss
Mildred Parker, another substi-
tute, was awarded the same dis
tinction, but she was absent and
one of her friends took the sill
yer ball to her later. Other
members of the squad present
were Misses Mary Price, Louise
Mann, Catherine Walker, Mar
garet Bullitt, Helen Parker,
Gladys Durham, and Nell Pick
ard.
Miss Myrtle Suggs was elect
ed captain for next year.
N. w. Walker was toast
master. He paid tributes to DR..
Lawson and Miss Minnie Atkin-
son for their training and coach
ing and to the girls for their
fine sportmanship and clean
methods of play. DR.. Lawson,
G. H. Paulsen and Miss Atkin-
son made brief talks.
The girls played games dur
ing the season, winning 7, tie
ing 2, and losing 2. They scored
238 points to their opponents
213. They entered the finals
for the Southeastern North Car
olina championship, and in that
last match were beaten by Will
mington by a margin of one
point.

A Glorious Easter
A Perfect Day of Sunlight and
Warmth and Flowers

1t was a glorious Easter in
Chapel Hill.
The sun shone bright and
warm. A faint breeze, ripping
the trees, kept spots of light
dancing on walks and lawns.
Amid the green of the leaves
and grass glowed the colors of
countless flowers. It was a
world in bloom.
Wistaria spread it's purple
splendor along porches and over
arbors, and in some yards
climbed high up into the branch
es of oaks and elms. The snow
white blossoms of the cherry
and the delicate pink-white of
the apple were bursting forth to
atone for the departure of the
apricot and the peach and the
pear.
All through the r town the
white of the dogwood stood out
brilliant against the green of
pines and naples and elms, and
here and there was the purplish-
pink flourish of a Judas tree.
AS you walked about the Will
age, and up on the campus, and
through the Arboretum, you
swore your chiefest loyalty to
one flower only to forget it in
the beauty and fragrance of the
next-the violet, the yellow jas
mine, the primrose, the iris, the
candytuft, the Towering almond,
the pansy, the tulip, the snow
drop, the of-the-valley, the
hyacinth, and everywhere the
grace and perfume of the lilac.
Never was a day more per-
feet, and never did man and wo-
man and child greet more JOY
ously the balm of a long-awaited
spring.

COLONEL MEEKINS
RAPSDEMOCRATS
And Tells Of Blessings ShOwered
Upon the Country by the
Republicans
ENTERTAINs THE CROWD

Colonel Isaac NJ. Meekins of
Elizabeth City, Republican can
dldate for Governor of North
Carolina, in speech in Men,
orial Hall last Thursday night,
said the Democratic party was
a sad failure when it came to
governing.
He declared that the Demo
Gratis had played the devil with
these United States whenever
they had been in CONTROL . that
they never stuck to the same is
ius two elections in succession;
and that the young man of to-
day, if he wanted to set him
self on the right path through
life, had better join the Repub-
licans forthwith.
He was full of scorn for what
he considered Democratic hypo-
crisy with regard to so-called
scandals.
Is it not a fine thing, he asked,
for Democrats in North Caro-
lima to be shocked by scandals"
in Washington when in this
State the Democratic Lieuten-
ant-Governor is under indict-
ment for theft from banks, when
a Democratic State Chairman
wrecked a bank in Salisbury,
and when the whole State con-
troll of the banking system had
broken down, as evidenced by a
string of bank failures through
out North Carolina.
Not mentioning Ais Watts
by name, Colonel Meekins al
luded to him by saying that
there were certain scandals
about the Democrats in North
Carolina that were so indecent
that he could not mention them
to his audience.
Later in his talk, however,
he mentioned Mr.. Watts by
name when he spoke of the head
of the tax system of the State
collecting campaign contribu-
tions from corporations to which
he had opportunity to grant
official favors.
Democratic speakers" said
Colonel Meekins, "go up and
down the State preaching the
goodness of the Democratic par
ty and the meanness of the Re-
publican party. They have the
press with them, doing the
same thing, so that the people
are not in a position to know
the truth. The people do not
have laid before them the facts
about the Democratic misrule."
1t was up to thinking men
and women, the candidate de-
clared, to examine the records
of the two parties without bias
or prejudice, and to ally them
selves with one which they con-
sidered most capable and hon
est.
At some length he discussed
the Democrats management of
the States financial affairs,

Captain F. C. Smith had his

the hand, and Monday the pa

DOg-Fight Halts Dance
Presidents Lawn Is Scene of a Spir-
tied Encounter

A Saturday morning of bril-
liant sunshine, the day before
Easter.
Spots, President Chase's dog.
stands upon the top step of the
veranda and looks out toward
the street. All of a sudden she
growls, and then runs rapidly
down the steps. Just at this
moment Synner, owned by the
Venables but recently claiming
Mrs. Arthur c. Nash as her pro-
tectress, has leapt over the rock
wall, also growing.
They meet on the lawn and
without preliminaries enter into
furious combat. The air is rent
by the noise of their barking
and swapping and snarling.
The door of the Presidents
house is flung open, and the
young girls who do aesthetic
dancing every Saturday pour
forth on the veranda, led by
their teacher, Miss Polly Wells.
They are all in dancing costume.
By this time Mrs. Nash has
followed her dog from street to
lawn and is trying vainly to
separate him from Spots. Miss
Wells joins her as assistant
peacemaker. The dogs are seiz-
ed, escape, make at one another,
and are seized again. Captives
at last in the hands of Mrs.
Nash and Miss Wells, they growl
at one another in an ecstacy of
wrath.
All this while, Dorothy Fet-
Ger, Katherine Walker, Carolyn
Winston, Beth Chase, and the
other girls stand on the veranda
and squeal with excitement. On
the other side of the street Ed
ward Graham and "Firpo" Gray
have been looking at the fight
with keen Zest, but when it is
over they lose interest and pass
on their way. A dog fight was
worth looking at, but Edward
and "Firpo," being yet only thir-
teen, have no time to waste upon
the departing figures of the aes-
thetic dancers.
Mrs. Nash leaves with Synner.
The aesthetics go back into the
house,. Spots stands for a mo-
ment or two with a conquering
air and then trots to her look
out on the topmost step.
The sun beats down, the
leaves rustic in the breeze, and
once again tranquility reigns on
the Presidents lawn.
