WESTERN UNION
WILL ADD WIRE
Long Awaited Improvement in
Telegraph Service Now Seems
to Be Near at Hand
HOURS TO BE HEIGHTENED

The long-awaited improvement in
the telegraph service in Chapel Hill
seems near at hand.
With the moving of the Western
Union into it's new quarters in the
Public Service building-the former
Strowd garage reconstructed-the
company is making plans to give the
town much better wire communica-
tion with the outside world.
All these years one wire has had
to carry all the incoming and out
going messages. Another wire is to
be put in operation; just when, the
company does not say yet, but prob
ably soon. And with it will come
another operator. =
The hours are to be heightened,
too, before long. Instead of closing
at eight o'clock in the evening the
Office will keep open till ten.
At present the new office is out
fitted only with the barest necessi-
ties: two tables, a chair or two, and
the instruments. But Superintendent
Sale of the Southern Division has
authorized the installation of about
$4,000 worth of furniture, and it is
expected to be in place in few days.
L. V. Burlington, formerly of Spar
tanburg, S. c., is the operator, and
about a week ago Miss Pansy Ayres
arrived from Orangeburg, S. c., to
act as his Office assistant. Until she
finds a permanent home she is stay
ing at Pickard's Hotel.
People who lived here 80 years ago
remember that the only telegraph
office was out at the railway station,
in what is now Carrboro, and Ben
league was both railway agent and
telegraph operator. Then for many
years r. R. Best was the operator.
The establishment Of downtown
Office, away from the station, was
great event for Chapel Hill. But as
the town grew, and the pressure upon
the single wire became steadily
heavier, there was much grumbling
about the inadequacy of the service.
Especially has it given trouble at
commencement, on days of baseball
and football games, and at other
times when visitors have crowded
into Chapel Hill. The University and
the village will welcome the news
that the Western Union is making a
move toward Improvement

A Hibbard from Greece
C. AS Brother, Back from Europe,
Makes Brief Visit Here

D. O. Hibbard, brother of c..
A. Hibbard of the University
faculty, was in Chapel Hill Sat-
urday and Sunday. He is just
back from a residence of sever
al years in Greece. In the SER
vice of the Y. M. c. A. there,
and active in relief work, he got
a close inside view of the vari-
GUS wars, revolutions, counter
revolutions and other disturb
ances after the end of the World
War. About all these he was
eagerly questioned by callers at
the Hibbard home Sunday night,
and they were vastly entertain
ed by his narrative.
One of his recollections was
Of the building of a new home
in Athens next to the house
where he lived. The excavators,
when they thought they had
reached the place where they
could safely lay the foundations,
found they were on the roof of a
Roman house-a building which
belonged to the period immedi-
ately after the Roman conquest
of Greece. So they had to dig
much further down. In the
earth that was thrown up by the
laborers the Hibbard daughter
found a linking bowl" that was
so old that the Romans who
built the house probably treasur-
ed it as an antique.
One of Mr.. Hibbard's most
important undertakings while
in Athens was the relief of the
refugees from Asia Minor af-
ter the collapse of the Greek
army in the Greco-Turkish war.

Virginia Wins Series
Carolina Defeated by Ancient Rival
in the Last Two Games

Capturing both games last
week;-the one played here Fri
day and the one in Greensboro
Saturday-the University of
Virginia came out winner over
the University of North Caro-
lima in the 1925 baseball series.
The first game of the three,
played in Charlottesville, was
won by Carolina.
Mulligan Holland, pitcher for
Virginia in Fridays game, was
hit safely but four times, while
Virginia made six hits off Fere-
bee-and the six came when
they were needed. Each team
made three errors. The final
score was4 to /.
In Greensboro the pitchers
were Holshouser for Carolina
and Darlington for Virginia.
This was a much more interest
ing contest than the one in
Chapel Hill had been. Virginia
scored one run in the fourth
inning, Carolina one in the sixth,
and Virginia one in the eighth.
Final score, 2 to l. About
5000 people saw the match.

DOG HOAX STIRS
THE POST-OFFICE
Webb's Fellow Clerks Substitute
MOngrel for His Pedigreed
COOn-DOg from Georgia
CHASE THROUGH STREETS

Richard Webb, who works in the
post office, wanted coon-dog-and
he wanted a good one. An advertise
ment led him to communicate with
a breeder in Georgia. They ex-
changed some correspondence, and
the Georgian finally sent a letter
with this proposal:
owe got as fine coon-dog as you
ever saw. He's worth seventy dol
lars but I'll let you have him Tor
fifty. You deposit fifty dollars in
a bank here. I'll ship you the dog.
You keep him twenty days and II
you're not satisfied you return him
and take your money back. If you
are satisfied, / take the money"
Fair enough, thought Richard, SO
he forwarded the deposit, and back
came word that the dog would start
for Chapel Hill early this week. his
name is Bill" wrote the Georgian.
Day before yesterday Alex Koonce'
Robert Burch, and Willie Hogan
Richards fellow clerks in the post
Office, Matched a plot. They went
out to the home Of the negro jim
Peace, on the north edge OF town be-
vond the fire-house, and borrowed
Jim's dog-which is half bulldog and
half cur. They put him in a crate
took the crate to the express ONCE
and arranged with the express agent
to notify Richard that dog mao
come in for him from Georgia.
In the afternoon, between mails
when business was slack, Richard
turned up at the post-oftice with tne
crate. He was bubbling with JOY
"You fellows come look at my new
dog!" he called, and they all gathered
around.
"His names Bill, all right" said
Richard. T've tried it on him, and
he answers to it,"
After they had spent nan All houi
voicing their admiration for the AMI
NAL. the owner took the newcomer
still in the crate, down to the base
ment to keep him there until night,
A few minutes later Robert burcn
slipped downstairs, kicked a couple
of the boards off the crate, and let
the dog out. Then the alarm was
given, and Richard saw the dog
leaving the governments backyard
going rapidly north. He took out al
ter the fugitive, followed him to Rose
mary street, and then along the
street westward. And as ne ran ne
called, "He-ah, Bill! He-ah, Bill!
But the dog got farther and far
ther away, and at last disappeared
around the corner by the fire-house
It was a sad, almost fearful, hicnaro
who came back to the post-ottice.
The gang sympathized with him a
little while, and then told him the
truth. And now Richard is awaiting
the arrival of the real cOon-dog.

When Coolidge Comes to
Chapel Hill

il
The President of the Univer-
sity went to Washington Mon
day and invited the President
of the United States to come to
Chapel Hill on the 18th of next
October to take part in the cele-
bration of the semi-centennial
of the 'reopening of the Univer-
sity in 1875. The institution
was already 80 years old in that
year, having been found in 1898,
but it had been closed for seven
or eight years during the Re-
construction. 1t took a fresh
start, and of course the period
of it's greatest growth has been
since then. Hence the idea of
the 5O-year celebration is en-
tirely fitting.
Of course we all hope that
Mr.. Coolidge will decide to come.
Not only for the obvious reasons
the honor conferred upon the
village by the visit of the Chief
Magistrate, the pleasure of Civ
ing him welcome, the excite
ment of the throng, and the
band-playing, and the decora,
tions, and all that sort of thing
but for other reasons that
have to do with our own internal
affairs.
For example, there is the
rickety fence and the moth.
eaten patch of lawn in front OF
our post-office. Will the eyes
of the President of the United
States be permitted to rest upon
such a sight? No, indeed. The
sixteenth assistant postmaster
generator whoever the officia
is that has jurisdiction over
post-office surroundings-may
have been yawning these last
three years over Postmaster
Herndon's request for a new
fence and better grass-but
watch him take notice when he
is told that "the citizens greatly
desire this condition remedied
in view Of the forthcoming
visit of President Coolidge y
Then you'll see action!
Then there is the nearby
fence of similar design sur
rounding the ruins of the house
that was once MacRae's store
Cam MacRae demolished the

breakfast some morning in his
home in Concord, he picks up the
morning paper and reads that
Mr.. Coolidge has accepted the
invitation. Mr.. MacRae will
make the wires hum with mes
sages to architects, contractors,
and money-lenders, and will
thereafter be on their backs
every minute to make sure that
the exalted ones eyes fall upon
q fine new office building next
to the post-office.

Chapel Hill Chaf

The Atlanta Constitution re-
ported the other day the visit to
the city of "Uncle Billy" Barber
of Paulding county, who will be
100 years old if he lives till, next
March. He never attended
school a day in his life, and has
never smoked a cigar or a ciga-
rette, or got drunk, or danced
a step. But this venerable
Georgian has eschewed pleasures
and vices not much more thor
oughly than has our own Isaac
w. Pritchard of Chapel Hill. Mr..
Pritchard told Carl Durham in
Eubanks' store the other day
that he had never been to a
football or a baseball game-and
he is the father of the ex-foot-
ball star and captain, Grady
Pritchard!-and had never
sworn an oath. I asked him
later if all this were true, and
he admitted it was. Further i'm
pertinent inquiries of mine
brought forth the fact that he
had never gone to a theatre or a
moving picture show. Many
years ago a doctor put him on a
diet of cod-liver oil and whiskey.
He went up to 100 pounds un-
der this regime; another doctor
told him that it was damaging
his liver, so he quit, and since
then he has not taken spiritu-
Gus drink. In the remote past
he smoked a cigar occasionally.
But that, he says, was when he
used to go long miles to Dur
ham and had to drive back on
cold nights in an open wagon.
A cigar seemed to stimulate him
and make him warmer. When
he settled down to a quieter life
he stopped smoking. None OF
the other abstinences seem as
strange to me as his not going
to see his son Grady perform in
a Carolina Virginia football
game.
In a student publication the
other day the question was ask
ed: "Have you ever noticed
what a lovely collection of nice
front names we have among the
faculty?", and listed the follow
ing: Archibald, Clarence, Mar
Gus Cicero, Thorndike, Gerald,
julius Algernon, Chester DeFor-
est, Dudley Dewitt, Alvin, Eu-
gene, Marion Rex, Erie Ewart,
Esek, Harold, AlmOnte, Harry
Sylvanus, Rosser, Lonnie, and
Sterling Aubrey. Good as far
as it goes, but I wonder why

usual and distinctive names as
