Alarm Interrupts Firemen'S Party

The Chapel Hill firemen were
the guests of Irving M. Gait
man, manager of the Carolina
Inn, at supper Tuesday evening,
The supper had been eaten,
there had been two or three
talks, and Chief John Foister,
master of ceremonies, had call
ed upon Alderman Clarence L..
Wills for a few remarks. Mr..
Wills was about to rise to reply
but, instead, leaned forward in
his chair with the look of a man
who was straining to listen.
Fire alarmw he exclaimed.
Whereupon all the feasters
leapt from their seats and ran
out of doors. Two of them hop
ped into a car and sped down
Columbia street. A few mo-
ments later the big red engine
came back over the same course,
changing and putting. One after
another the firemen swung them
selves aboard of it, and when
it turned into the campus they
were all there.
The alarm had come from one
of the fraternity houses back of
the Library. The trouble prov
ed to be nothing worse than a
chimney that had caught fire,
and all danger was past when
the firemen arrived. The en-
gine was driven back through
the campus gate and parked on
the street near the Inn; but then
Chief Foister decided to take
the company, for the remainder
of the meeting, to the assembly
room on the upper floor of fire
headquarters.
So the speechmaking program
was divided into two parts:

friend of the George Coffin Tay-
lors, and he has written a book
of South Carolina negro stories
for the University Of North Car
olina Press. The visitors re-
NAMED in the village only few
hours, in the course Of which

A TRIBUTE TO FARM

From the Greensboro Herald-Journal.
That eloquent Georgian, the late
Senator Thomas E. Watson, said on
one OCCASION:
"There are thousands of devoted
and absolutely admirable wives and
mothers in our cities, in our towns
and in our villages, and it gives me
pleasure and pride to testify to the
fact; but if you ask me to carry you
to the home of true wife and true
mother, one who loses herself en-
tirely in the existence of her husband
and children, one who is the first to
rise in the morning and the last to
retire at night, one who is always at
her post of duty and who carries up
on her shoulders the burdens of both
husband and children, one who is
keeper of the household and its good
angel, utterly unselfish, happy in

GEoRGIA,s GOOD ROADS

cat that the roads are in fine con-
dition," says the Dawson News. "The
News has more than once said that,
taken as a whole, Georgia has the
best roads-more of them-than any
state in the union, and we are not
yet convinced that the statement
should be revised. No less an au-
thority than DR.. A. M. Soule, presi-
dent of the State Agricultural Col
lege, agrees with us, and says, one
can easily drive 35 miles an hour.
The editor of The News goes about
the state some himself, and in every
section the roads are in splendid con-
dition. From 30 to so miles an hour
can readily be negotiated, the speed
being limited only by how fast one
cares to drive. And this applies not
only to the main highways, as the
by-roads in farm communities are
also good-in many instances better
than the main thoruoghfares. Espe-
cially is this true here in southwest
Georgia, where the best roads in the
state are to be found. They are top

TWO RAILROADS TO
CARRY BLUE BOOKS
ON LIMITED TRAINS

PHOENIX, Mar. 6.-Under an
agreement between James H. Ker-
by, secretary of state ,and the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
Railroad companies, a copy Of the
Arizona Blue Book is to be placed
among the magazines in each OBJ
servation car operated by the two
companies on their limited trains.
Not 'ce that the companies would
permit a copy of the Blue Book
to be placed on each one of their
observation cars were received by
Mr.. Kerby. Some time ago, he re-
quested the two companies to per-
nit him to furnish them with
bound cop es of the Blue Book
for this purpose.
The inclusion of the Blue Book,
the official roster of the state
among the magazines on the cars
will be of much value in adver-
t'sing the state, it was pointed
out, as it contains much informa-
ton about the state, its resources
and it's history.
Under the agreement, Mr.. Kerby
will furnish the Blue Books ne
cessary to equip the cars and will
also furnish binders for them.
The cars on which the books are
to be placed are those used by the
companies on transcontinental
trains out of Chicago and New
Orleans.
