Robertson Sells Land


Here in Chapel Hill more than
usual interest attaches to the
sale of the Roberson-McP Pherson
tract, out on the Durham road,
because one of the owners, DR..
Foy Robertson, is a former Chap
ell lillian and a famous Univer-
sity athlete.
DR.. Robertson, in partnership
with his brother medico in Dur
ham, DR.. Mcpherson, bought
this land, which lies at the Or
ange-Durham county line four
miles from Chapel Hill, two or
three years ago. At one time
he thought of building a home
there, in the grove that forms
part Of the tract, but changed
his mind. Now he has put the
property in the hands of the
Durham Auction Company for
an auction sale. The grove and
the nearby hills have been di-
vided into suburban building
lots, and next Wednesday morn
ing J. Franklin Barfeld, "the
singing auctioneer," will put
them on the block. There will
be a barbecue, with music, and a
big crowd is expected. One fea-
ture of the show will be- the a.
ward of the prize of 500 to the
person suggesting the best name
for the tract.
This spot has peculiar his
torical interest because here, a
generation ago, was the building
known as "the four-mile-house."
Long before statewide prohibi-
tion came, there was a state law
prohibiting the sale of liquor
within four miles of Chapel Hill,
and "the four-mile house" was
a saloon just outside the dry
zone. Here booze might be pur-
chased legally, and the thirsty
element in the population would
90 out there to imbibe.

Patrick L. Clayton paid 5000
for a 70-acre farm about a mile
northwest of Hillsboro 20 years
ago. The other day he sold it
to representatives of James B.
Duke for $4,000.
The value of the land to Mr.
Duke lies in the stone that it
contains. Upon examination by
architects and builders, this
stone was pronounced suitable
for use in the building of the
new Duke University at Dur
ham.
Since Mr.. Duke made his big
gift to the institution, his lieu
tenants have been going about
the nearby country to see if
they could find building stone Of

FOSTER DIRECTS AFFAIR

At the fire company picnic
last Friday, out at the midway
bridge between here and Dur
ham, the prize for versatility
easily went to Charles E. Gooch.
Wearing his horn-rimmed spec
tacles and nonchalantly smoking
a cigarette, he officiated as urn-
pire Of the baseball game. He
waved aside with complete un-
concern the storms of protest
with which both teams hailed
his decisions. Il should be CRATE
full to him, for he called my long
foul fly fair and thereby turned
it into a two-bagger.) The
game over, he got into his shirt
sleeves and assisted his father
with the barbecue.
George Sparrow, the football
star, was one of the pitchers,
and Dewey Merritt was his
catcher. Bud Temple and Jake
Smith composed the other bat
terry.
Jim Rumbough was official
scorer.
Chief Foister was general di-
rector and cheer leader. At the
end Of the ninth inning he herd

and made everybody hold their
food uneaten until the toast
master, Health Officer Nathan,
should give the starting signal.

happy by contrast with that of q
year ago, for then he was in Watts
Hospital in Durham suffering severe
pain from a hand that had been

At a bridge party given by
Miss Alice Hill Webb in Hills,
boro last week a bag was
brought into the room where

this fact been grasped when a
cat jumped out, bearing a sign
with the letters M. NIL. ]. G. w.

DR.. William de B. MacNidel
spent last week as physician-in
chief at the Peter Bent Brig
ham hospital in Boston, thu

ward Medical School.
Every year the authorities Of
the medical school invite one
man who has distinguished him
self in the profession to be ply.

be surgeon-in-chief, for one
week. The honor came to DR.,

in the course of the week de-
livered four lectures to the hos
pital medical and surgical staff,
the internes, and a number of

Miss Ruth Moore, of the fac

Chapel Hill Chaf

Saturday night I happened to
drop in at DR.. MacNider's few
minutes after he returned from
the north, and / found him out
in the yard peering at shrubs
that had burst into leaf during
his weeks absence. No moon
was shining and the starlight
was dim, which made seeing diff
ficult; but he was so concerned
about the progress of his plants
that he couldn't wait till morn
ing to examine them. think
it very likely that before he
went to bed he brought out a
candle to help along the inspec-
tion.
While the community de-
plores with good reason the loss
of members of the faculty who
are lured to other fields, ]
mourn the departure of an hum
bier citizen. Lewis Caldwell, the
son of. the negro preacher, Rev.
John Caldwell, is one of the
most faithful and intelligent
workers I have ever known
and now I learn that he has
gone to Washington, D. c., to
become second salad man, what
ever that is, for a big hotel. ]
have faith that Lewis's salad
will be as good q product as the

lar, and hope he will prosper

THE WEEKLY INVITES
YOU TO DROP IN

Every now and then
somebody drifts into our
printshop and expresses
surprise somewhat in
this fashion: why,
here you have a real
printing place right in
the middle of town, and
! didn't even know it was
here!" And the visitor
then goes through the
shop and shows keen in
terest in the linotype
machine, the presses, the
mechanical folder, and
so on
This leads US to think
that many citizens of
Chapel Hill may like to
drop in and see the print
ing plant in operation.
So the doors are open to
everybody from 8 to 6
o'clock this afternoon
(Thursday), and we ex-,
tend to you q cordial in
vitation to come and look
the place over.
The printshop is on
Rosemary street behind
the two banks and the
Chapel Hill Hardware
Co. A footpath leads to
it from the main street
alongside the Pope Mat
tress store; and there is
an automobile entrance
on Rosemary street.
