Courtship of a. Years
Ends With Wedding

Philadelphia courtship begun A
years ago came to an end when Albert
Il. Gardner, sixty-eight years old, mar
ried Miss Leona L. Gibbs, sixty-one
years old, in st. Matthews Episcopal
church, where he has been the or
ganist for more than half century.
Rev. G. Herbert Reese. the rector,
performed the ceremony, which was
witnessed by the members of the choir
and vestry and few close friends.
Miss Gibbs met her husband "A
years ago, when she came to Phil
adelphia from Vincentown, N. j., and
while 1t was a case of love at first
sight, there were many financial diff
ficulties in the way of their marriage.
While he was undertaking to rear and
care for a nephew, she was burdened
with the care of two invalid sisters,
the last of whom died a month ago.
All domestic obstacles being removed,
with an increase in salary for Mr.
Gardner in view, the couple decided
to consummate their long courtship.
They are living at the southeast cor
rer of Twentieth and Brown streets

SEEKS TREASURE
BURIED IN RIVERS
Would Salvage Ships Lost in
Northwest.

Miles City, Mont.-Treasures of lost
ships, buried under the shifting sands
of the Yellowstone and Missouri riv-
ers, will be sought by Elmore Els
worth Wenner, who has passed a
quarter of a century gathering infor.
nation as to their location and nossi-
bility of recovery.
In the skeletons of these treasure
ships, Wenner believes, still remain
quantities of the cargoes of priceless
pelts, gold, silver, quicksilver and va
rious other merchandise, the value of
which government reports indicate to
approximate $5O,O00,OOO. A portion
of the cargo of one wreck, buried for
80 years, Wenner already has SAL
vaged.
Steamboating on the northern wa
ters of the Missouri river began 1O3
years ago, when a fleet of six river
steamers were built under govern
ment contract for use with the ILL
fated Yellowstone military expedition
which had as its object the establish
ment Of fortified post at the mouth
Of the Yellowstone FLYER.
One of these, the Thomas Jefferson,
provided the first Missouri river
wreck near the mouth of the Yellow
stone. In 1881 the American Fur com
pany started fleet Of steamboats, on
the Missouri. It's George Washington
struck snag below Council Bluffs,
Iowa, and went down.
The Assiniboine, also owned by this
company, was grounded in 1925 near
the present site of Bismarck, N. D.,
with a cargo of 1,1S5 packs Of pelts
and robes.
The Pontiac went down with a car
go of 500 barrels of whisky, 500 casks
of wine and 500 casks of brandy, none
of which ever was recovered. The
Louisville, loaded with whisky, quick
silver and general stores, went down
40 miles below Sioux City. AT this
same spot are eight other sunken
steamers.

Century-Old Cells
of Plant Found Alive

Philadelphia.-The discovery
of plant cells that have lived
and retained their individuali-
ties for more than u century
was described to the American
Philosophical society recently by
DR.. Daniel L. MacDougal, direc-
: tor of the department Of botani-
cal research of the Carnegie In
stitute of Washington.
Most of the cells of trees die
in a few years and their re-
mains become part of the per-
manent woody structure. The
ordinary cell Of the living crea-
ture is supposed to disintegrate
and become absorbed and re-
placed by other cells within a
few years, although some biolo-
gists believe that brain cells en-
dure throughout the life of the
individual. 1t is difficult to ac-
count for the faculty Of memory
without suDposing that the
brain cells commonly live as
long as their possessors, they
say.

ROBERTSON SELLS
TRACTS OF LAND
ON RALEIGH ROAD
D. d. Carroll, A. w. Hobbs, N.
w. Walker, and NJ. E. HO-
gan Among Purchasers
COKER BUYS DUKE FARM

w. S. Robertson, acting for the
Chapel Hill Insurance & Realty
Company, of which he is presi-
dent, has sold several tracts of
land out on the old Raleigh
road. They were sliced out of
the Strowd farm, purchased
from Robert L. Strowd by the
company a year or so ago.
Eighteen tracts, varying in
area from 8 to 66 acres, were
put on the market a week or so
ago. Altogether they make up
an area of 425 acres. Each one
has a frontage of 800 feet on the
road.
The cutting off of the 425
acres leaves from 600 to 700
acres of the Strowd farm still in
the possession of the realty COM
pany.
N. w. Walker, of the school of
education, has bought five tracts,
to total of between so and so
acres, running eastward from
the Gimghoul (Glandon Forest)
settlement. Two other profess
sors, D. D. Carroll and A. w.
Hobbs, jointly, have bought
three tracts containing, in all,
80 acres; their property is wood
ed except for two acres which
are planted in cotton. Another
purchaser is M. E. Hogan, cash
ier of the Bank of Chapel Hill,
who got 80 acres.
For their land Messrs. Car
roll and Hobbs paid about $120
an acre. N. w. Walker, whose
purchase is closer in toward
the town, paid about 5000 an
acre.
William C. Coker has bought
the farm of Addison Duke, about
$50 acres, out on the Raleigh
road beyond the Strowd farm
property, and Mr.. Duke is
building him new home on the
Chapel Hill-Durham highway
between the one-mile bridge and
Jack Sparrow's filling station.

Tibet Explorer Coming
Expeditions Photographer to Show
Pictures Here Tuesday

Captain j. B. Noel, official
photographer of the 1924 expe-
ditiOn to Tibet-probably the
most dangerous tour of explora-
tion ever undertaken-is coming
to show his moving pictures in
Memorial Hall next Tuesday eve
ming at half past eight o'clock.
AS the pictures are thrown upon
the screen he tells the story of
the adventure.
He is brough here by the Uni
versity's committee on lectures.
There is no admission charge.
The object of the Tibetan ex-
pedition was to reach the top of
Mount Everset, "the roof of the
world" Colonel Norton was the
commander, and with him he had
a company of daring spirits will
ing to brave the perils of a rug
ged region hitherto untrodden by
man. Two of the explorers,
Mallory and Irvine, lost their
lives in the attempt to reach the
summit of Everest. Captain
Noel caught the last pictures Of
this courageous pair, 600 feet
from the crests, as they tOiled
upward with oxygen tanks on
their back. How they met their
fate nobody will ever know; all
that is known is that they went
and never came back.
Not only do the pictures show
the actual attempts to scale the
worlds highest mountain. They
tell a story of the people and
customs of Tibet-the land Of
lamas, prayer-wheels, dirt, poly
andry, yaks, and buttered tea.
Capt. Noel was recently in
London, where his pictures and
his amazing tale are said to have
created a sensation.

duled to give a performance
there.
Mr.. Hayes lives in North

practicing law since his gradu-
alton from Wake Forest. He
has served as solicitor for the

New Road Financed
County Commissioners Sign ResOlu.
tion for Borrowing $25,OOO

The Orange county commits
sioners, at a meeting in Hills
boro, Wednesday afternoon,
voted to borrow $25, 900 and pro
ceed at once with the survey and
construction of hard surface on
the old Raleigh road from the
Chapel Hill town limits to the
Durham county line. The dis
tance is about 2 Ia miles.
This action follows upon the
agreement of the Durham county
commissioners to extend their
concrete surface to the line pro-
vided Orange would meet them.
The result will be a second good
road from Chapel Hill to Dur
ham, and a paved six-mile link
in the short route to Raleigh by
way of loves Grove and Mel
son.
The new road authorized at
the Wednesday meeting will be
what is known as penetration
asphalt" The foundation will
be broken stone; on this will be
spread an asphalt substance.
This type of road has been test
ed by the state high way COM
mission and has given good ser
vice.
Prompt construction is likely.
The resolution adopted by the
commissioners empowers J. d.
Webb, the chairman, to go ahead
with the job. He is to report
back to the board Monday, Nov
ember l. The State Highway
Commission will be asked to as
sign it's engineers to the survey
that must precede actual con-
struction.
It is thought that eventually
the state will take over the road
from Calvander flour miles
northwest of Chapel Hill to the
Alamance county line and thence
on into Graham, and possibly the
road from Nelson through
loves Grove to Chapel Hill,
creating a new line to relieve the
traffic on the Central Highway.

Murchison Takes the Bagbys' Car
And Rides on off to Wilmington

C. T. Murchison, professor in
the University's school of COM
merce, mounted into English
Bagby's car, which was standing
outside Strowd's garage, and
rode off to Wilmington last Fri
day. A few moments later Mrs.
Bagby came out of Andrews
store and found the car gone.
She thought it was stolen, and,
naturally, was greatly upset.
Mr.. Murchison was going to
Wilmington for the University
extension division. He was told
that an extension division car
was waiting for him at Strowds.
When he arrived there and asked
for it one of the men around the
place pointed toward a group of
cars parked in the street. Since
all the extension cars are labeled
on the doors in bright gold paint,
the man thought Mr.. Murchison
would get the right one. But Mr..
Murchison somehow picked the
wrong sedan, took possession,
and made off to Durham. Mr..
Woodhouse was with him.
When he got into the car he
found on the seat Anne Bagby's
coat and shoes. Supposing that

May Survey Wilmington
University Professors Negotiating
with Mayor and Council

Negotiations are under way
for University professors, in the
school of commerce and the de-
partment of history and govern
ment, to make a survey of Will
mington.
The suggestion first came
from the mayor and council of
the city. Thus far it is mere
ly tentative-no definite deci-
sion about it has yet been reach
ed. C. T. Murchison and Ell.
Woodhouse went down to Will
mington last week and conferred
with the authorities there. One
question to be settled is wheth-
er or not the municipality cares
to meet the cost of the enter
prise.
The survey, if it is made, will
cover various phases of city life
the system Of government, the
methods of taxation, domestic
and foreign commerce, industry,
banking, the labor supply, the
character of and probable chang
es in population, port facilities,
market areas, and the layout
of the town.
A survey of this sort was
made by the University for
Hickory; but the Wilmington
project is more ambitious be-
cause of the greater size of the
city.
