ELECTION TUESDAY
WAS DULL AFFAIR
GOOch Sat by Tennis Court to
Receive Voters, but Few
~ Turned Up
w. S. ROBERTSON is MAYOR

About the most exciting thing a.
bout Chapel HIPS election Tuesday
was the effort of the master Of cere-
monies, Charles E. Gooch, to dodge
the tennis balls that kept shooting
across the polling place.
He installed himself with table,
chair, and ballot box in the shade
of a tree at the end of the school
tennis court and waited patiently for
the voters to come. But when he
left at sunset only 76 citizens had
availed themselves of the right Of
suffrage
w. S. Robertson was elected mayor.
Carl Durham, M. E. Hogan, and
Gustave M. Braune were elected al
dermen for a four-year term, and
r. d. w. Connor, C. L. Wills, and b.
S. Williams for a two-year term.
w. B. Neal, the baker, was regis
trar this year, and under the law
was entitled to reward OF three
cents for each voter listed on the
book. Only three registered, so his
total revenue was 9 cents. Two Of
the three were Policeman Feather
stone and Sloane and the third was
Marvin Fowler. Citizens who had
registered in previous elections did
not have to register again, but
there are dozens of citizens who
have never entered their names.
T. M. Arrasmith was elected mayor
of Hillsboro and the new council is
made up of E. M. Lockhart, c. M.
Andrews, w. H. Webb, W. W. Walk
er, and C. A. Bivens.
T. N. Mann was elected mayor OF
Carrboro, and Lonnie Durham, Linny
Hearn, Charles Ray, and r. h.
Marks were elected aldermen.

HillsbOrO Organization?
Talk of Forming a Business Mems
Body at County Seat

There is talk among business
men of Hillsboro of forming a
commercial body, such as a
chamber of commerce or a
merchants association.
Some of the younger men, es-
pecially, are said to be interest
ed in the idea.
ut would unquestionably help
US to have a cooperative busi-
ness organization" said one
Hillsboro citizen this week.
"There are many things it could
do to help the town. One is to
let the world know our advan-
tages for industrial plants. An
other is to promote the establish
ment of a tobacco market. The
new road soon to be completed,
from Prospect Hill here, is 60
ing to turn a lot of traffic our
way from the country to the
north, particularly traffic in to-
bacco, and now would be an ex-
.cellent time to launch a serious
movement for a market" )"

Jack Sparrow to Farm
SAYS He Expects to Raise Vegetables
for the Chapel Hill Market

Jack Sparrow is planning to
turn his place out on the Dur
ham road, beyond the one-mlle
bridge, into a truck farm.
Thus far he has devoted his
gardening energies to his lawn
and flower garden and a small
vegetable patch near the house,
but now he has the aspiration to
try out production on a larger
scale.
This spring he had unusual
success with his English peas,
which ripened, it rs said, a week
or so before the peas on any
other place for miles around.
Some of his friends say that this
achievement is what has spur
red his ambition to expand.
81 think probably I'll get me
a couple of horses and go at
truck farming seriously next
year." Mr.. sparrow said yester-
day. Included in my farm
there is plenty of soil well a.
dapted to gardening, and OF
course there's a growing de-
mand for truck products in
Chapel Hill. I'll raise peas,
beans, beets, roastin' ears,
lettuce, and maybe some straw
berries"

SIGNS COME DOWN
WITH SCOUTS AID.
Movement Of Chapel Hill and
Durham Women Is Bearing
Good Fruit
HELD A MEETING MONDAY

Good progress is being made
in the removal of the signs that
have defaced the highway be-
tween here and Durham.
At joint meeting of Durham
and Chapel Hill women at Mrs.
Toys Monday afternoon, the
visitors said that they hoped to
follow Chapel Hills example and
get their Boy Scouts out to
take down signs in Durham
county.
The Scouts of Chapel Hill
went forth one morning a few
days ago and made a cleanup
of the job over the four-mile
stretch between here and the
county line. Nearly all the
landowners had given them per-
mission to take down the signs,
so when they got through there
were only a few left.
1--WE are getting the hearth
est sort of cooperation from the
landowners in our county"
said one of the Durham women
here Monday. 'We have been
astonished to find how large a
proportion of the signs have
been put up without any per-
mission at all from the owners
of the land, and the owners have
told US they would be only too
glad to get rid of them. We in
tend to go right ahead with the
campaign and make the high
way as free as possible from
signs"
Those who attended the meet
ing at Mrs. Toys were Mrs. Dey,
Mrs. Henninger, and Miss Annie
Belle Durham of Chapel Hill.
and Mrs. Satterfield, Mrs. AL
ston, Mrs. Cowan and Mrs.
Mitchell of Durham.
One of the discoveries the
Boy Scouts made on the sign
destroying expedition was that
the boards nailed to trees made
ideal breeding places for insects.
Behind each board was a settle
ment Of the pests.
The Scouts who took part in
the job were Stratton Lawrence,
Eric Abernethy, Thomas Patten,
George Henry, Wallace Patter-
son, Henry Brown, Brantley
Penney, Edmund Gray, Harry
Buice, and Robert Coker.

Miss Carter's Marriage
Weds J. C. DOdson in HillsbOrO; They
Will Live in High Point

Hillsboro people were sur
prised last Friday night, when
they were leaving the high
school auditorium after the
graduating exercises, to hear
that Miss Margaret Carter and
J. Clarence Dodson had been
married while the seniors were
receiving their diplomas. 1t had
been supposed that the wedding
would take place in June.
Miss Carter, the daughter OF
Mrs. J. e. Carter, has been, for
the last few years teacher in
the Hillsboro school. Mr.. Dod-
son is an Orange county man
but recently he has been living

Bright and early yesterday morn

the street Philosophy fianked by His
tory and Science: in the middle
Judge Winston, on his right H. M.
Wagstaff and Alderman r. D. W..
Connor, on his left Parker Daggett
and DIR. j. B. Bullitt. They stretched
from edge to edge of the sidewalk,
and their alignment was so faultless
and their step in such perfect unison
that the sight reminded me of drill
all except the Bullitt pipe-and I
half expected to hear Mr.. Wagstaff, /,
as drillmaster on the right, shout:
Fright by file-march!" l noticed
that Judge Winston was the happi-
est-looking one Of the five. Why
is no mystery-he was the only
one who was not going to work.

Daily and weekly papers used to
exchange without differential, but
since the weeklies cost only $1.50 a
year against the dailies' SO to $12,
naturally the dailies wearied of this
and said to the weeklies: "You sub
scribe to our papers at the regular
subscription price and we'll subscribe
to yours the same way" Which, Of
course, was fair enough. Through
some slip ! got on the Raleigh
Times exchange list on the old basis

This has been travel de luxe.
Our monster bus, with it's COM
Portable chairs, is "a Pullman of

to start when you please, with
out having to defer to railway
.schedules-this is perhaps the
greatest luxury of all.
The first stop was in Sanford
on Friday, the oath. 1t was so
hot that they set the electric
fans to buzzing in the theatre.
The whirr drowned out the
words of the players, and it be-
came a question of: shall we
hear or shall we keep. cool? The
fans were stopped, and the audi
ence sweltered that they might
hear.
Charlie Gold stopped off in
Greensboro to see his family,
got left, and did not turn up on
time at Winston-Salem. George
Denny leapt into the role after

waved scornfully aside. He was
reinstated the next night.
