WON'T SHOW HIS
BADGE, ARRESTS
FRED MORRISON
Former School Principal Hauled
from Car and Taken to
Police Station
D!SAGREEABLE INCIDENT

Because Fred Morrison, for
fner principal of the Chapel Hill
school, would not submit to ar
rest until assured that his CAP
tor was a bona fide officer of the
law, he was dragged from his car
on the outskirts of East Durham
Sunday night, was taken to the
police station in the county court
house, and narrowly escaped be-
ing locked up.
Driving from Raleigh to Dur
ham in his Ford coupe, he had
passed over the two railway
crossings near the fertilizer
plant when big car came up
from behind and drew alongside.
Somebody called out to him to
stop. Not knowing who it was
who called, he went on about a
hundred yards further to where
he saw the lights of a filling sta
ton, and brought his Ford to a
halt.
The man in the big car de-
clared him under arrest for not
having come to a full stop pass
ing over the crossings. Mr..
Morrison admitted at once that
he had not, but said that he had
slowed down and looked care
fully along the tracks in both di-
rections before going ahead.
The man, who was dressed in
plain clothes and had nothing a.
bout him to indicate that he was
an officer, insisted that Mr.. Nor
rison-Who did not have with
him enough cash to put up as a
bond-go back to Durham to the
court house. He refused to ac-
cept a check as bond. Mr.. Nor
rison was then willing to go, but
he wanted first to be assured
that the man was an officer.
"Are you an officer?" he ask
ed.
The stranger said he was, and
then Mr.. Morrison asked to see
some sort of credentials.
According to Mr.. Morrison the
man refused to show him
badge or any other evidence of

Colonel Abernethy Celebrates
5Oth Birthday; 400 at the Party

Colonel Eric Abernethy was
so years old Monday. In cele-
bration of his semi-centennial he
invited several hundred of his
fellow citizens out to the Coun-
try Club and fed them some of
the finest barbecue and water
melon1with trimmings-that
have been tasted in these parts
for a long time.
**
The automobiles that brought
the guests out were parked in a
line that ran from the clubhouse
almost to the Raleigh road, with
tributary lines stretching along
the Coker side roads. 1t was a
big party. There were bankers,
merchants, printers, lawyers,
judges, artists and artisans, and
physicians and professors ga
lore. The landscape was adorn-
ed by many representatives of
the writing fraternity, running
the whole gamut from Archibald
Henderson and Paul Green to
newspaper editors. The guests
spread over the open space in
front of the house, and the food
was served to them from long
tables with a smoothness and ra-
pidity truly magical. Evidently
some master mind had been in
operation before the consumers
arrived.
The usual sequence was: first,
barbecue-and-bevo next, water
melon. But | noticed that D. D.
Carroll, dean of the school of
commerce, had his own variation.
With him it was barbecue-and-
bevo, then watermelon, and then
back again to the barbecue.

Mrs. WOOtten Comes
Makes Arrangement to Use Upper
Floor of Fosters as Studio

Mrs. Bayard Wootten has
made an arrangement with r.
W. FOister to use the upper floor
of his store as her studio. She
will be there to make pictures
every Saturday. Besides doing
portrait work in the studio she
is prepared to answer calls to
take photographs in homes and
in the open.
Mrs. Wootten, who operates
under the name of Wootten-
Moulton, has been well known to
Chapel Hill for years. She has
been the official photographer
for the University annual and
the Carolina Playmakers, and
her campus views have won her
a wide celebrity as a landscape
photographer.
With Chapel Hill added to her
list as a permanent station, she
now conducts studios in four
places, the other three being
Fort Bragg, New Bern and
Greensboro.

A Strange Beast
KIuttz Household Startled by Animal
of Unknown Breed

Mrs. Kluttz, on the first floor
of her home, heard a cry of a.
larm from her niece and guest,
Miss Louise Crawford, about
twelve o'clock one night last
week. She ran upstairs to Miss
CraWford's room to see what the
trouble was.
On the window sill, against
the wire screen, was an animal.
1t was slightly smaller than a
cat of normal size, and it was
white all over. Mrs. John Craw-
ford, Jr. and Miss Sudie Creech,
who were also guests in the
house, came in, and the four
women gazed at the stranger
and tried to determine it's
species. 1t stayed several min
utes and then jumped off the
window sill and disappeared.
Somebody suggested later that
perhaps it was a possum. This
made Mrs. Kluttz rather indig-
nant. "Do you think l don't
know a possum when | see one?"
she asked. 'I've seen a thous-
and possums, and prepared 'em
for a table, and eaten 'em. No,
this thing wasn't any possum.
1t is still a mystery.

don't know what the Colonel
would have done without the
valiant help of some of his
friends, for the professional
catering force of the village
could not have managed such a
colossal affair as this. The first
volunteer you saw was Paul.
Terry, at the fork of the roads
serving as. maSter-of- f-parking.
From his practiced movements
| think he must have a secret
past as a traffic policeman. NJ.
f. Hogan and H. M. Wagstaff,
armed with ferocious-looking
knives, were the chief perform
erS at the watermelon table. Mr..
Wagstaff had brought his an
cestral carving weapon with him,
and the gusto with which he
polished it off, after the cutting
was over, reminded me of pic
lures of warriors of olden times
triumphantly cleaning away the
last traces of the vanquiShed foe.
All about you saw men and
women struggling with the prob
lem of how to hold a plate of
barbecue and a bottle of bevo
and WELD the fork at the same
time. Mrs. Hibbard solved this
for many of us who were so
lucky as to be near her. You
stretch your left hand out flat,
pal I'm upward, with the plate
asting on the palm. The top of

Off to Roaring Gap
Weavers, COnnOrs, Mrs. Wilson, and
Mrs. WOOllen Go for a Holiday

AS | came uptown Tuesday
morning | found Charles T.
WOOllen standing guard over a
collection of articles strung a.
long the curbstone. The array
included a stout travelling bag,
large paper sack (Which he
told me contained a hat), a
bridge set, and an alpenstock.
These were Mrs. Woollen's frac-
tion of the impedimenta to be
taken along to Roaring Gap.
They told me to have these
things ready for loading at 8
O'Clock, and it's now 8:05," said
Mr.. Woollen, as he gazed search
ingly up and down the street.
But he did not have to wait
long. Returning a few minutes
later l saw the party on the
point of departure. In one car
went Mr.. and Mrs. Paul John
Weaver, Mrs. r. D. W. Connor,
Mrs. T. ]. Wilson, and Mrs.
WoOllen. In the other went Mr..
Connor, Miss Claire LOckhart
Hanes, and the cook.

Bellamy Marries Here
Comes to Chapel Hill Unexpectedly
Squire Whitaker OfFiciates

A stranger walked into Squire
jug Whitaker's office, on the
second story of the Brockweli
building, Tuesday morning and
said he wanted to make an a.
pointment for that afternoon.
The Squire supposed it was some
matter of official routine, and
they agreed to meet at quarter
past three.
At least the Squire thought
that wass the hour named. 1t
developed that the stranger
thought it was a quarter Ew+
fore three. For, when the
Squire ambled downtown at
three o'clock a group of his
friends told him man and wom-
an were waiting for him up
stairs.
He went up and found the cou-
pie in the office. The man in
troduced himself as Captain
Russell Bellamy, MD, of New
York, who was a student here
81 years ago. He and the
Squire exchanged "reminiscences
of the old village, and then he
said:
We'll, Squire, l have always
said that when | got married
wanted to be married on the soil
of Chapel Hill, and here we are.
This is Miss Elizabeth Bolles of
Wilmington, and we came to you
because we wanted just a quiet
ceremony" And he drew the IL
cenSe from his pokcet.
Two witnesses were needed, SO
the Squire went down in search
of them. In the Andrews-Hen-
ninger store he found John Me.
Cauley and Zeb Council, and
brought them back to the office
In a minute or two the cere-
mony was completed. Squire
Whitaker went over to HilIsboro
to get the certificate from the
register of deeds. Captain Bell
amy said he would come back
for it Wednesday, but at noon
yesterday he had not yet ap-
peared.
Russell Bellamy came to the
University from Wilmington in
1887. He took his MD. degree
in New York in 1892, and he has
lived there for many years. He
gave his address, for the official
record, as Is West 48th Street,
New York.

Chapel Hill Chaf

There are some families whose
members have the look of pro-
found wisdom. | have always
thought that the Battles bore
this aspect, 1t is not that they
make any pretense beyond that
of other people; it is simply that
their brows, indeed their domes
entire, are impressive. l was
reminded of this when Kemp
Davis Battle was with US on the
porch Sunday morning. Vernon
Howell came over the wall and
sat on the step for a few min
utes.. Somehow the conversa-
tion turned to trophies, and Mr..
Howell spoke of having a bears
hide which, fer not having been
properly cured, had grown stiff.
He looked at Kemp Battle and
asked: Glow do you salt down
a bears hide?" There were sew
eral other persons on the porch,
and saw no reason why any one
of the group should not have
been suspected of knowing as
much about bears hides as the
visitor from Rocky Mount, but
Mr.. Howell never thought of adj
dressing his inquiry to any of us.
Wanting enlightenment, he turn
ed instinctively to the Battle.
And he look very much surpris-
ed when the Battle said he didn't
know.
The other day I met Sampy
Merritt on the main street. To
University men who were here
25 years and more ago he is one
of the celebrated figures of Chap
ell Hill, and there are hundreds
of alumni who are willing to
swear, to this day, that there has
never lived a man whose coca
colas possessed such a fine flavor
as those he used to mix when
he kept the only drugstore in
the village. Since he establish
ed himself in Carrboro, the Uni
versity community has not seen
much of him, but now and then
his friends go out to visit him
at his fountain. One alumnus
who came back last year after a
long absence-I think it was
Ferdy Johnson, the varsity third
baseman of 1897-exclaimed: :
"Hell! what is Chapel Hill with
out Sampy Merritt" and hasten
ed out to Carrboro to see his old
chum.
When I was talking to Mr..
Merritt l mourned that the drug
stores no longer supplied the
