"CraigtOwn"
Proposal to Name a Settlement fO
the Negro Contractor

Some of the citizens of Chap
ell Hill and Carrboro, white and
negro, are suggesting that the
settlement that has recently
sprung up along the line between
these two communities be called
Craigtown in honor of the negro,
Charles Craig, who built nearly
all the houses.
Running out from Rosemary
lane, just inside the limits of
Chapel Hill is a little thorough
fare called North avenue. Here.
within the last year and a half
Charles, who went to a technical
college to get his training in
craftsmanship and carpentry,
has under construction four
others. Fred Edwards and Cra-
ven Jones are living in theirs,
and John Cole, who works on the
railroad between here and Uni
versity station, has let his to a
tenant. Ed SWANS will be fin
ished in a few days and Tom
Coker's by the middle of Sep
tember. Then there are two
houses, an investment of the
builder himself, which will also
be finished next month.
1t happens that the very same
ground where these houses
stand used to be a farm where
Charles's father, Manuel Craig
lived as a slave. This is another
reason for the name Craigtown.
Manuel died in 1916 at the age
of 65.
Since he started in business as
contractor two or three years
ago Charles Craig has put up
not only the houses in this set
tlement but several others in
and around town. One Of his
products is jim Norwood's
home, a bungalow near Church
street; another is Will Stray
horns home in Carrboro; and
another is Stepney Edwards
home near the Chapel Hill-Pitts-
boro highway just inside Chat
ham county about five miles
from here.

ALI Pickards Have a Son


Mr.. and Mrs. ALI Pickard have
a son, born in Watts Hospital
last Friday. He is named
George for his grandfather
George Pickard, who died last
year. All the relatives and
friends are happy about the ar.
rival-all except one. The sole
exception is George Hogan, son
Of M. f. Hogan. He was also
named for Mr.. Pickard, his
grandfather. When he heard OF
this new George, he raised a
mighty howl, saying that the
name belonged to him and no.
body else had any right to it
They are still trying to conciIiate
him.

THE TWO BANKS
TO CONSOLIDATE
Absorption of Peoples Bank By
Bank of Chapel Hill
Is Arranged For
STOCKHOLDERS GET PAR

Negotiations for the consoli-
dation of Chapel Hills two
banks have been practically
completed. The Peoples Bank
will go out of existence and the
Bank of Chapel Hill will take
over its business.
The transaction cannot be an
nounced as definitely concluded
until approval has been voted at
a meeting of the stockholders of
the Bank of Chapel Hill. But
that is a mere formality. The
holders of nearly all the shares
have agreed to the absorption
Of the neighbor institution.
Each Peoples Bank stockhold-
er is to receive par-$5O per
share-for his holdings. Some
of the stockholders will become
! owners of shares in the Bank of
Chapel Hill; others will receive
cash and will sever completely
their banking connections,
AT a meeting of the PEOPLES
Bank stockholders it was voted
to sell the building with the pro-
viso that it should not be sold
for less than $4,000. It was
purchased from w. S. Robertson
about eight years ago for $500.
Mr.. Robertson is now spoken of
as the probable purchaser; so,
if he does buy it, he will pay for
the property not less than three
and half times what he sold it
for. ~
Chapel Hills business COM
munlty seems to look with favor
upon the amalgamation. Years

kluttz Company Suspends

A notice, Going out of Busi-
ness" was posted on the door of
the store of the Kluttz Company
Monday. G. Y. c. Buice, the
proprietor, found conditions
such that he decided the best
thing to do was to liquidate.
One of the embarrassing factors
was the difficulty, and in some
cases the apparent impossible
ity. of collecting the money
owed by customers. A. A.
Kluttz, who formerly ran a
store in the same place, had no
interest in the Kluttz Company
except as the landlord from
whom the building was rented.

OUTLOOK BETTER
FOR SHORT CUT
Durham County Willing to Aid
in Reducing Distance
to Raleigh
UP TO ORANGE COUNTY

Durham county is willing to
do it's part, and do it promptly,
toward opening up a road from
here to Nelson on the paved
highway between Durham and
Raleigh. This would provide a
short cut from Chapel Hill to
the capital and would shorten
the distance between the two
towns by seven or eight miles.
It now remains for the Orange
county commissioners to become
sufficiently interested in the
project to put serviceable road
from here to the Durham-Or-
ange county line.
Ralph Ward, the chairman of
the Orange board of county COM
missioners, was here Tuesday
and Mayor w. S. Robertson dis
cussed the plan with him. May
or Robertson will also talk it over
with Commissioner J. D. Webb,
who returned few days ago
from Hot Springs, Arkansas,
where he had gone on account of
illness.
Orange county will have to
build a short stretch of new
road, out near Needham Lloyd's
place just this side of the county
line. Most of the distance from
Chapel Hill to the line is al
ready traversed by the "old Ra-
leigh road" This old road
would have to be repaired along
Blake's hill, short way beyond
the cemetery, and at some other
places.
The new short cut would run
east and west across the south
ern end of Durham county,
passing through loves Grove.
Over most of this course there
is a road now in existence, and
it is in fair condition. The Dur
ham commissioners, at their last
meeting, told Needham Lloyd
and C.. l.. Lindsay, who attend
ed, that they would have their
forces at work improving this
road just as soon as the Orange
commissioners would agree to
connect with them at the county
line.
