Wilson and House

The memoir of Colonel Ed
ward M. House, now running
serially in the Greensboro News,
is narrative as absorbing as
any | have ever read. It's inter-
est is due in large part to the
fact that it is made up of records
written by Colonel House from
day to day, and of letters writ
ten by and to him, during the
thrilling period when he was
to use Mr.. Wilson's own words
"the other self" of Woodrow
Wilson.
This chronicle fortifies me in
the belief which l have long
held, namely, that Mr.. Wilson
could not have found a more
trustworthy counselor than this
Texan who, with all his canni-
ness and practical nature, was
yet an idealist. The degree to
which the President, so often
charged with valuing no advice
but his own, gave his confidence
to this friend, leaned upon him
for help in the weightiest affairs,
amazes the reader in spite of all

~. Y. World Discusses Book
of G. C. Taylor, ''Gentleman
Farmer in Chapel Hill, n. C.. :"

which is a delight to all passers-
by. Miss Ettie not being here
to give protection, am prepared
to start a riot if any hostile
move is made against these peri
wrinkles.
The World compliments Mr..
Taylor highly upon his book,
which, it says, "has already Gre
ated a stir in the scholastic
world. Scholars have gener-
ally discouraged the theory of
Montaigne's influence on Shakes
peare, but Mr.. Taylor now
forces the issue by producing SO
many parallel passages, similar
both in thought and phrase,
that he thinks the conclusion
will be inescapable that Shakes
peare was extensively influenced
by Montaigne'."
From it's comments upon the
volume, the World passes on to
a biographical sketch of Mr.
Taylor, as follows:
Nearly twenty years age
George Coffin Taylor decided
that the University of Colorado
was no place for an active man.
He resigned the chair of Eng
lish, took up newspaper report
ing in Kansas City, gave that up
and went back to North Caro-
lima"

The New York World has an
article of more than column a.
bout a book by George Coffin
Taylor, whom the newspaper
describes as "a retired lawyer
now a gentleman-farmer at
Chapel Hill, N. C.
The book is "The Influence of
Montaigne on Shakespeare" re-
Gently brought out by the Har-
ward University Press.
Mr.. Taylor. who came here
last fall to join the University
faculty, lives with his family in
Miss Ettie Mangum's house on
Rosemary lane. He has sue
ceeded in keeping it a dark Sc
cred that he is occupied as a gen
tlemAn farmer. Everybody
knows he is a gentleman, but as
an agriculturist he has hidden
his light under a bushel. There
is no sign of any farming around
the Mangum house. Perhaps, to
make good the Worlds article,
Mr.. Taylor will have to start
cultivation at once. If he does,
l am going to petition him,
whatever blowing he does on the
rest of the place, that he keep
off the ancient bed of periwink-
les under the big oak. When
these dainty flowers are in
bloom they turn the lawn into
an expanse of heavenly blue

BELL FAMILY IN
MOTOR ACCIDENT
Cars Collide at Pinehurst Inter-
section; Mrs. Bell and
Baby Thrown Out
CAR is BADLY DAMAGED

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bell and
their baby daughter were in a
bad automobile accident Sunday
in Pinehurst. Their car was
overturned and badly damaged,
and it seems almost a miracle
that they themselves came out
of the affair without serious
hurt. ~ -
Mrs. Bell had been visiting
her people in Red Springs and
her husband had motored down
from Chapel Hill to bring her
home. AS they passed a street
intersection in Pinehurst a car
came rapidly from the right.
It struck the Bells car and
knocked it over on the left side.
Mr.. Bell was driving, and in
the seat beside him was Mrs.
Bell with the child.
'The first thing l knew" he
says, my wife, with the baby
in her arms, shot by me and out
of the car. Somehow, as she was
falling, she scrambled out Of the
way and avoided being caught
under it."
Instead of bringing her on
home, he took her back to Red
Springs. His brother, 10 Bell,
went down from Chapel Hill and
brought Mr.. Bell back here.

Just as the paper went to
press yesterday the word came
that the Carolina Playmakers
had been invited to drop in to
call upon President and Mrs.
Coolidge at the White House. l
hope to be able to report the
meeting in the next issue. l
wonder which will be the longer,
the Koch speech to Coolidge or
the Coolidge speech to Koch?
=
In a letter from w. P. Budd,
head of the Durham chamber
of commerce, he tells me of the
appointment of a committee to
get the cooperation of other
states in creating a numbered
national highway through this
section. Mr.. Budd puts down
each member of the committee
as an Honorable-Honorable
John Sprunt Hill, Honorable J.
Elmer Long, Honorable w. N.
Everett, and Honorable O. G.
Brummit. This ought to spur
'em on to eloquence, all right.
But Mr.. Budd made a serious
error which will get him into
trouble if he doesn't look out.
At the top of the letter are the
names of a dozen or'more cham
bers of commerce and indivi-
duals to whom it is addressed.

BERLIN, Sept. 17-For more

freedom it failed him.
Reinhold had planned his get

only a pistol could help him in &C.
complishing this feat. Where
could one get such a weapon? Fin
ally, Reinhoid hit on a striking
idea. He worked in the penitenti-
arys bakery. When the guard was
not watching, he kneaded a good
sized pistol out Of the dough, baked
It to crispness, colored 1t with
ashes and similar materials until 1t
finally assumed the CLINT Of steel.
With this weapon he forced his way
out of the penitentiary.
