To Produce Green Play
Chapel Hill Mans Drama to Be Given
at PrOvincetOwn Theatre

Paul Green's play, I'm Abra-
hams BoSom," will be produced
at the ProvincetoWn Theatre in
New York this fall. He made
the contract in New York a few
days ago with James Light, q
member of the Provincetown'S s
board of directors.
I'm Abraham's Bosom" is one
of the one-act plays that recent
ly appeared in book form. But
the author has expanded it tc
the length required for a full
evenings performance. and il
will be presented in seven scenes
1t is likely that either Paul Rob-
eson or Charles Gilpin will play
the leading role.
At the same time that it is
presented in the theatre the
Mcbride publishing company will
bring it out as book.
Last month Mr.. Green went
to the New Hampshire noun
tains to spend a while in the
Mcdowell colony. 1t was while
he was there that he received a
message to come to New York to
confer with the Provincetown
people about the play.

PrOuty Pony Likes Yellow

The Proutys' pony has been
evidencing a lively fondness for
yellow flowers. He ate up Mrs
j. M. Booker's golden glow the
other day, and before that he
made successful assault on
Miss Ettie Mangum's daffodils.
The reason he leaves his home
out on the PittsborO road to visit
in the east end of the village is
that he gets homesick for the
Winston place. The Wihstons
gave him to the Proutys several
months ago.

three young women, who COM
plete this summer the courses
required for graduation from
the University, have organized
the summer class of 1926"
They will always be included in
the regular class, which finished
in June, but they like the idea of
having this little group of their
own.
The University authorities
have sanctioned the scheme, and
if President Chase gets back
from the West in time it is ex-
pected that he will be the guest
of honor at a social gathering
which the summer graduates
are planning to hold at the end
of. the second term.
W. H. Bird of Asheville has
been elected president of the
summer class, Miss Dolores Har-
rison of Chapel Hill vice presi-
dent, and J. S. Blair of Morris
vile secretary and treasurer.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Harry Hansen's piece, "The
First Reader" which appears in
the New York World and other
papers throughout the country,
had for its subject, this last
Sunday, "Old Days in Chapel
Hill," Mrs. Chamberlain's book
about Cornelia Phillips Spen-
GER. Mr.. Hansen speaks we'll
of the volume, and he presents
from it a brief summary of the
history Of Chapel Hill and the
University.
In the. North Carolina paper
in which l saw this review, one
line ran: "Mrs. Spencer kept g.
dairy" Of course the word
was meant to be diary, and I
would not mention the trifling
typographical efrer except to
say that, if Mrs. Spencer had
kept dairy, she would have
gone about the job as capably as
she went about writing her let
ters and her journal.
AS a matter of fact, it is not
at all unlikely that Mrs. Spencer
did keep a dairy, to the extent
of maintaining one or two cows.
She tells in her book of taking
in student bOarders after the
Civil War, and a boarding house
had to have a considerable guam
tity of milk. do not happen to
know about her case, but even
within my memory almost every
home in Chapel Hill had it's cow
quarters. Then there was plen-
ty of space about the house for
gardens, fruit trees, and stables.
was something of a mflkman
myself, though not an expert
one like my brother Ernest.
remember that often | would sit
on a fence-post while he MIXED
the COW, and he would display
his skill by shooting a stream of
milk in a long upward curve di-
rect to my mouth. was quite
satisfied to let this be my only
function around the stable, ard
it was only under cOmpulslon
that | turned my hand TO some
thing more useful.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman Foer-
ster, who got back the other
day from Boston, Provincetown,
and other points north, tell of
having met all along the way
people who recognized them as
being from Chapel Hill. At
Newburgh, on the Hudson, a
waiter came up to them and in
trOduced himself as Minnie CaId-
wells brOther-in-law.

As to Habits

The factory value of the chew
ing gum manufactured in this
country in a year is $4,000, 900.
The retail value, or price, is of
course much more. The Univer-
Sity News Letter, assuming that
North Carolina chewed its quota,
says that I'VE spent in 1925 a.
bout $1,7O0,0OO for chewing
gum" and that ''if we stopped
chewing gum and applied the
money to public education we
could have an eight-months rug
al school term with almost no
additional tax"
This is a dangerous business,
suggesting the abolition of hab-
its. Now, suppose you turn from
chewing gum and figure out
what would happen to North
Carolina if people gave up to-
bacco. Our whole economic
structure would pretty nearly
fall in heap. Thousands of
farmers, merchants, and factory
hands would be put to the brink
of ruin. some of them over the
brink. Durham, Winston-Salem,
Reidsville, Wilson and a dozen
other towns would be in a worse
state than if a cyclone had hit
'em.
For my own part, l think
smoking tobacco is a less objec-
tionable habit than chewing
gum. Certainly gum-chewing is
the more offensive to Onlookers
and listeners. But there are
thousands who won't agree with
me in my preference-who
think smokers are a lower breed
than gum addictS. And those
who see nothing but an evil
waste in the use of tobacco, by
the same sort of calculation as
this one in the News Letter,
could present us a picture of a
food of gold pouring into the
school system.
am led to imagine truly ter
rlble consequences. There, for
example, is my friend Eugene
{. BransOn. editor-in-chief of
the News Letter. He smokes
cigars. And | am glad he does,
II tor no other reason than that
he often reaches into his upper
left coat pocket and gives me of
his store. Suppose the tobacco
habit were suddenly to be abol-
ished. | am confident that Mr..
BransOn would be made unhap-
py, and it is likely that his
equable temper would turn to
fretfulness. The News Letter
which for all it's cold facts, is
charged with friendliness and
good-will-would surely lose

In Race 2 Years Ahead
s. W. Andrews Says He Will Run for
Sheriff in 1928

With this years primary on
ly few weeks in the past and
the election still to come, S. w.
Andrews has let it be known
that he will be a candidate for
sheriff of Orange county in the
primary of 1928. He has al
ready served two terms in the
office and says it is more to his
liking than any other political
berth.
He announces his intention in
the following letter to the Week
ly:
'lnasmuch as you mentioned
my name last week as a probable
candidate for register of deeds,
| wish to say that my name was
not before the committee. 1t
is true that had thought at
one time, that | would be a can
didate, but the fact that the man
nominated was expected to be
appointed by the commission
ers, and go to work at once, eli
minated me. By December lst
| could have arranged our store
affairs, but had all of the COM
mlttee been my supporters
could not have accepted at once.
/ appreciate the expressions Of
support from some members Of
the committee, and congratulate
them on naming a man who so
many Democrats feel should
have been appointed. The only
office | have ever really wanted
is the sheriff's, and | now cast
my hat in the ring for two
years hence against the field
