Bailey Captures Crowd
Speech on klan ArOuses Fr.husiasm
of University Studer'e

Josiah William Bail came
up from Raleigh las, Friday
night and spoke on the ~ Klux
Klan in Memorial HaN His
speech lasted two hour, but,
far, from showing any sign of
weariness, the crowd was en-
thusiastic from the beginning to
the end. When he had closed,
the students rushed ur to the
platform, surrounded him, and
clamored to inspect the docu-
ments from which he had been
reading-the Klan ritual and
constitution, and the testimony
of Klan bigwigs before Congress.
At the beginning of his talk
Mr.. Bailey said he had noticed,
posted on the campus, placard
saying that he would "denounce"
the Klan. This was an error, he
said, since that word implied
emotion, passion, whereas he
was going to tell simply the
truth about the Klan and pre-
sent his reasons for not approx
ing Of it. But what he did to
the Klan, before the evening was
over, made "denounce" seem a
ale and feeble term.
A considerable part of the
speech, and an effective part,
was given over to the readings
of passages from the ritual,
about Wizards, and "kleagles",
and "klorans," and so on, and
his audience shouted with
laughter as he repeated the
high-sounding phrases used in
the initiation service. He related
in detail the history Of the es-
tablishment of the Klan by Sim
mons and Edward Young Clark,
and quoted from a Congressional
document the terms of the Sim
mons-Clark contract which pro-
yided for the splitting up of the
ten-dollar initiation fees.
All in all, he gave the Klan a
tremendous wallop.

CAM MACRAE HAS
PLANSPREPAR
No Doubt Now That He Is
Going Ahead With New
Building
STORE AND OFFICE SPACE

Cameron MacRae is going
ahead soon with the erection of
his new brick building at Frank
lin and Henderson streets-the
post-office corner. The plans
have already been made, and it
is expected that the contract will
be let within the next three or
four weeks.
The old frame structure now
standing on the corner accom-
modated the drugstore of the
owners father, the late Robert
S. MacRae, a generation ago.
For a while it was Kluttz' store,
and in recent years it has been
passed on from tenant to tenant
plumbers, grocers, fruiterers,
tailors, and so on.
Whether Mr.. MacRae will
build a two-story or a three
story building, he has not yet
decided. Even if there are not
three stories in the beginning,
the walls will be made thick
enough to support a third one
later.
The new building will extend
26 feet along the main street and
Ill feet along Henderson street.
The ground floor at the front
will be occupied by some sort of
store, with probably smaller
stores to the rear of it along the
side street. The entrance to
the upper floors will be on the
side about rs feet from the cor
ner. Anybody who wants to be
a tenant is asked to communi-
cate with Mr.. MacRae in Con-
cord or with the Chapel Hill In
surance & Realty Co.

Chapel Hill Chaf

able job ahead of him. He and
Parson Moss stood up by the
baptismal font in the Episcopal
church the other day as the god
fathers Of Paul Elmayan Haron-
ian, and the clergyman said to
them: aye shall call upon him
to hear sermons. To do this
should come naturally enough to
Parson Moss; it is in his line, SO
to speak. But somehow | do not
visualize Mr.. Towles as very
jealous in prodding the young
Haronian.
Let us project ourselves for
ward some sixteen years. On a
Sunday morning in springtime,
Paul, a freshman in the Univer-
sity, is summing himself on the
wall that separates the campus
from the main street. Mr.. Towles
walks ujtown, goes into the
post-office, obtains his morning
newspaper, and starts back
home. At this moment the
church bells begin to ring. Look
ing across the street, Mr.. Towles
beholds Paul on the wall; and
there flashes to his mind the
memory of that day sixteen
years ago when he agreed to call
upon the youth to hear sermons.
Now, does Mr.. Towles stride
across the street and undertake
to persuade the boy or does he
hastily turn his eyes to the front
again and continue his walk
eastward in company with his
newspaper? l leave it with the
Lady-or-the- Tiger? ending. Take
your choice.
With the growth of the Uni
versity and the village, and the
introduction here of the various
conveniences that tend to make
life comfortable, it has been
predicted that men who were no
longer compelled to toll for a liv-
ing would settle down and live
a life of leisure in this neighbor-
hood, somewhat as they have
done in the country around the
University of Virginia. Alf
Eubanks, who went to Canada in
his youth, lived there many
years, and has now returned, has
started in to make the prediction
good. He is building a bungalow
in the pine grove on the Durham
road about a mile and half out
from Chapel Hill. I asked him
the other day if he was going to
do any farming; he said he
might take a fling at chicken
raising on a small scale but did
not intend to go any further.

The Boxing Bouts

l have never seen greater en-
thusiasm at any athletic event
than was displayed at the Caro-
lina-Fort Bragg boxing bouts in
the Tin Can last Saturday night.
The students did all the organi-
zed cheering, but more than
once l could hear the voices Of
townsmen and faculty members
rise above the din.
E. c.. Branson has long been
known as one of the most zeal
Gus attendants at baseball and
football games, and l could see
from his face, as he sat on the
front row of ringside seats,
that henceforth he was going to
lust as faithful a devotee of
boxing.
General Bowley, in his brief
talk, told the difference between
boxing and prize-fighting. He
praised boxing as a sport that
brought out the very best quail
tiles of courage and sportsman
ship, and he made a ten-strike
with the crowd when he declared
that boxing should be officially
recognized as one. of the major
University sports and that the
members of the team should re-
ceive the honor of wearing the
N. c. monogram.
y
Charles MacRae was one of
the performers, and his mother,
Mrs. Sam MacRae, had come up
from Fayetteville to sit at the
rlngside and watch him fight.
Charles was outweighed many
pounds by his adversary, who
also had a much longer ex-
nerience in the ring, and he re-
ally had no chance. 1t was up
hill with him from the outset,
W he was game all through,
Sunday he was going around
town with a cauliflower ear
wep bandaged.
In the seventh and last bout
the Army man representative
was an American Indian known
as Chief Maybe. Heavyweight
champion of the whole Army
and about 20 pounds heavier
than Warren, he fulfilled expec-
tatlons by getting the decision
from the Carolina captain. He
had a superb body. When he
hoped into the ring, tossed off
his robe, and disclosed his
beautiful rolling muscles, W. S.
Bernard, who sat next to me,
said; IF l were up there facing

STEFFLER DEMANDS
CROSSINGS Be FIXED

In response TO scores OF reQests from
automobile owners, Street Commits
sioner Paul E. Steffler took steps at
the city commission meeting Monday
to compel San Antonio railroads to
kccp their grade crossings in constant
repair.
Commissioner Steffler asked City
Attorney Joe Ryan for a ruling on
how the companies can be forced TO
keep the crossings passable. Phil
Wright, fire and police commissioner.
maintained that such an ordinance Is
in existence. He suggested the street
department repair the crossings and
then collect from the railroads.
Crossings pointed out by Com
missioner Steffler as rough and in
some places impossible are ON East
and West Commerce, South Presa,
South Flores and Garden streets.
Letters asking the rail companies
to repair the crossings are constantly
in the mail, but little action is re-
ceived despite their promises" Mr..
Steffler declared.
The mayor suggested that Mr..
Steffler look over the crossings again,
but the commissioner declared that
every railroad with tracks in San
Antonio was failing to keep the cross
ings in good shape.
City Attorney Ryan will look up
the law and give an opinion soon.

people have the ability and the posi-
ton to do this it broadens their edu-

But, above all, know that there is

Proper wages should always be sought

curities, but in other factors which
make life worth the living.
Contrary to general belief. ii is not
necessary to put off the pleasure of
being an investor indefinitely for lack
of a large surplus. Neither is it nee
sary TO listen to the allurements of
the disciples of the easy route, the stock
salcsmch-solicitors of highly specula-
tive securities in an endeavor to con-
vert 500 into $1,000 almost overnight,
by the specious argument that others
have done it, or that it is not worth
while investing to receive "paltry 6
or per cent"
The greatest fortunes have been
founded on the steady and consistent
accumulation of capital compounded
annually at 6 or per cent. Still
larger ones have been lost by endeavor-
ing TO get rich too quickly; and the
stock salesman-solicitor never fails to
argue that the only way to acquire
wealth is to take flier and fly
quickly.

certain that no one existed who knew

that I was a trifle mistaken. Since
