Ohe
Fierce MacRaes

Two or three weeks ago |
quoted a passage from Boswell
about a tribe of MacRaes en-
countered on the BoSwell-John-
son tour in 1773. These Mac
RaeS were described as a Semi
savage folk, and | said that at
the first opportunity | was going
to face Lawrence or Cam with
this charge, since | had always
understood the people bearing
the name in old times were Scot
tish mobiles and princes.
Lawrence MacRae writes me
this note from Greensboro:
While the BOswell-MacRae-
Johnson episode is fresh in mind,
| write to point out that the
faithful Boswell omitted acklowl-
edgment of the presence of Lord
Barley, presented, as ever GUS
tomary, by the hospitable Scots
to their visitors. But, still
faithful to British form, he laid
bare before the world the pres
ence of Lady Nicotine, and when
he wrote his imagination was
under the influence of this po-
tent pair.
Maybe this faithful Britisher
was high and under loose con-
troll when he became generous
with his gifts of bread and weed.
II am glad to illuminate this
dark spot in the faithful BOs-
wells book-writings and when
ever you are in a quandary |
will do the best | can for you.
Meanwhile | doubt if the faithful
one ever Strayed so far from
LONDON as distant Kintail in In
vernesS, where the MacRaes a
bode, and held back the ambi-
tious and fierce invaders from
far Northern Europe, who
sought after the riches of Eu-
rope"

GIMGHOULS SEEK
TWO LOST HEADS.
Important Parts of Christian
and ApOllyOn Have
Disappeared
IMAGES TAKEN FOR JUNK

In the Gimghouls' castle at
Piney Prospect stand the head
less images of the two celebrated
characters of Pilgrims Progress
Christian (Virtue) and ApOll-
yon (the DeviD. The GfmghouIs
are hunting for the lost heads
and have offered a reward "for
information leading to their re-
covery."
When the old Gimghoul lodge
was torn down the wooden i'm
ages were stored in the former
Methodist church at Rosemary
and Henderson streets. About
two weeks ago this building was
leased to Montrose Tull for use
as an automobile repair station,
and the men who we're assigned
to clean the place pitched Chris
tian and Apollyon unceremon-
iOusly out of the window, seeing
in them nothing but junk.
Henry Johnston, Jr., was the
first of the Gimghouls to hear a.
bout the desecration, and he
made haste to tell "A. H. Patter-
son and others of the brethren.
Whereupon a group of them
went and gathered up as many
fragments as they could find.
Later Charles 7. Woollen, busi-
ness manager of the University
CHANGED to come upon the DEVILS
torso. The images were pieced
together at the castle, and when
the job was done everything was
there except the two heads and
a section of the Devils foot.
Wednesday night word came
to Mr.. Patterson that somebody
was on the trail of the DEVILS
head; but, according to the last
reports, nothing has been heard
of Christians.
These two wooden images
were carved half century or
more ago by DR.. Charles Man
gums great uncle, Buxton
Harris of Philadelphia, who
fashioned them from drawings
and descriptions in a volume of
Pilgrims Progress. For several
years, as loan from the Man
gum family, they were in mu-
scum maintained by the Univer-
sity in the Old East building.
They then were moved to an out.
mousse In the Mangum yard. Of
ten the door stood wide open,
and the Devil, painted black and
with great pointed wings, struck
awe to negroes and children
passing along the Hillsboro road.
One day DR.. Mangum decided
he would take them down to the
Gimghoul lodge to serve as part
of the scenery in the initiation
ritual. There they remained un-
til they were sent to the old
Methodist church for what was
intended to be a temporary So
jOurn pending their removal to
the new castle.

The ex-mayor said he would stump

"Why, my name for Watson is
'CIoakroom JIM" said Shank in
his announcement. THE cloakroom
is where the timid Senators hide
when a vote on a ticklish question
is threatened.
"And Watson would have been in
the cloakroom on that world court
vote if he had had a chance. Jim
has passed that sack of peanuts to
the farmers and maybe a few bags
Of popcorn to the laboring men for
