J. F. M'ADAMS,
ORANGE COUNTY
OFFICIAL, DIES
Register of Deeds Passes Away
Commissioners Honor His
Memory
WON IN RECENT PRIMARY

John F. McAdams, register of
deeds of Orange county, died
Monday as the result of a stroke
of paralysis. He was buried at
Hebron church, on the Orange
Alamance border, a short dis
tance from the place where he
was born and bred. People from
all over the county attended the
funeral.
Mr.. McAdams' family and
friends had been alarmed about
the state of his health for some
time. After he was stricken a
few weeks ago they tried to per-
suade him to take a complete
rest, but he insisted ON taking an
active part in the Democratic
primary campaign. This exer-
tion may have hastened his end.
He was renominated by a large
majority for his present office,
which he had held since 1920.
He is survived by a widow and
four children; all the children
are married.
At their meeting Monday the
county commissioners adopted
resolutions of respect to his
memory. These resolutions,
signed by j. d. Webb. J. E. Haw-
kins, and j. A. McCauley, and A.
w. Kenion, temporary clerk, are
as follows:
whereas the death of John
F. .McAdams, register of deeds
of Orange County and by virtue
of said office, clerk to this board,
has just been called to our at
tention, now therefore, be it re-
solved:
'"That, in the death of John F.
McAdams, Orange County has
lost a loyal, efficient and faith
full servant who has served in
many positions of public trust
and honor, and in all of said po-
.sitions has given faithful and
satisfactory service to the peo-

Andrews Is Mentioned
Griffin and Jones Are Also Spoken Oi
for Registers Office

S. w. Andrews, Chapel Hill
merchant, is mentioned as a
probably successor, in the Of
fee of register of deeds, to John
F. McAdams, who died this
week.
Another person who is spoken
of for the office is C. B. Grit
fin, who was cashier of the
Peoples Bank before it was
merged with the Bank of Chap
ell Hill. And still another is
Cicero Jones, who was the un-
successful candidate against Mr..
McAdams in the Democratic pri-
mary last month.
Mr.. Andrews is former sher-
iff and has been active in county
political affairs for several
years. In the recent primary
contest for the clerkship he
carried his own home precinct
of Chapel Hill by 446 to 81, but
in the whole county he was T2G
votes behind A. w. Kenioh.
Mr.. Griffin has served as col
lector Of vital statistics and as a
registration and election Off
cial.
Under the law the county COM
missiOners may elect a man to
fill the registers office for the
unexpired term from now to
December, but the Democratic
executive committee of the
county chooses the candidate
who will stand for election in
November. Since the Demo
cratic organization and the
county commissioners are in &C
cord, it is thought likely that
the same man who is chosen for
the unexpired term will also be
the Democratic candidate for
the next term.

Auditors Prepare Report to Show
Details of the Towns Finances

can be more easily understood
by the average citizen.
The towns operating ex-
penseS for the next fiscal year,
ending May 81, 1927-including
interest and payments on the
sinking fund to retire the debt
are estimated at $4O,139. A
bout $4,000 of this comes not
from the tax levy, but from va
rious miscellaneous sources, such
as assessments, licenses and
fees, contributions from the Uni
versity for health and freight
ing services, charges for electri-
cal and plumbing inspections,
and the sale of gravel. Thus the
general tax levy has to provide
about half of the total budget, or
about $4,000
These figures relate only to
the municipal business, and do
not embrace the cost of the op-
GRAFTON of the school. The
school is under separate control.
1t is thought that the tax rate
this year, for the town and
school combined, will be $1.38 on

Rogerson and Peacock, audi

which will show in detail the
financial operations of the town
of Chapel Hill.
When this is done, any citizen

learn the different sources of
public revenue, and how much
money is yielded by each source ;
the extent of the bonded indebt-

Chapel Hill Chaf

vernon Daley, OF Cne OnlCeO
States Biological Survey, has
been suggesting, in an address
to the American Society of
Mammalogists, that Information,
of the sort practiced by bears,
chipmunks, and certain breeds of
mice, might be good for human
beings. He thinks it might
prove an excellent cure for
nervous diseases. like the idea
of sleeping away several weeks
or months. If the tax-collecting
E. NJ. Knox, the interest-collect-
ing M. E. Hogan, and other such
killjoys would sleep simultan-
eously with me, and agree to
consider the Information period
as wiped off the slate, thereby
assuring me that / would wake
up solvent, would be glad to
try the experiment.
| happened to be reading, a
day or so ago, the account of
the Scottish tour of DR.. John
son and his faithful Boswell in
the year 1773. The travellers
had halted among some primi-
tive people in a wild mountain
pass, and BOswell's narrative
proceeds: "We had a consider
able circle about us, men, wom-
en-, and children-all MacRaes.
Not one of them could speak
English. I observed to DR..
Johnson that it was much the
same as being with a tribe of
Indians. l gave all who chose it
snuff and tobacco. l also gave
each person a bit of wheat
bread, which they had never
tasted before" Now, | had al
ways thought that my friends
Lawrence and Cam MacRae were
descended from Robert Bruce,
the Earls of Douglas, the Camp
bells of Argyll, and other such
princes and chieftains. When
they come to Chapel Hill again
l am going to face them with
the passage and give them a
chance to put in a disclaimer to
any kinship with these semi
savage folks that Boswell tells
about.
The music lovers in Chapel
Hill were stirred to admiration
by the piano playing of Helena
Troxell, who is only IL years old
and yet plays with the taste and
finish of an expert performer.
She accompanied her father re-
Gently when he gave a song re-
cital as one of the summer
school entertainments.
