Death Nth a Prayer on His Lips. Life of Uppe
(By DAN r. CONWAY

Their limbs are long and lank and thin,
Their forms are swathed from foot TO chin
In arments made of bison skin.
Their coarse and ragged hair
Streams back from brows whose dusky stall
Is dyed by blizzard, wind and rain;
They are a fearsome pair.

Nothing else has been discuss
ed with so much interest by the
people of Chapel Hill, these last
few days, as the marriages Of
two members of tho faculty J

philosophy, and Howard Mum
ford Jones, professor of English.
\As soon as Mr.. Williams had
left the village for New York,

gan to be spread about that he
was to be married, but confrma-
ton did not come until the news
was published on Tuesday of this
week. Y
The marriage is expected to

fessor Of English in the North
Carolina College for Women in
Greensboro, and she has done
postgraduate work in Columbia
University. She has visited in

the University here about forty
five years ago and later studied
at Yale and Harvard. He has
held the chair of philosophy here
since 1890. In 1920 he was ap-
pointed a Kenan professor. In
1891 he married Miss Bertha
Cotton of New York. She died
in 1922.
Howard Mumford Jones was
married in New York Saturday

The town of Carrboro has de-
cided to widen to 30 feet the
stretch of concrete state high
way from the western limits of
Chapel Hill (the end Of Franklin
street) to the Carrboro Baptist
church. The state builds a
standard 1S-foot road; the town
stands the cost of the IL addi-
tional feet and of the curbs and
cutters. Jack Long. the con-
tractor, has about completed the
grading on the new right Of way
between Chapel Hill and the rail-
road, and expects to begin pour
ing concrete within a few days.

Was 1t Only One Child, or Twins?
MIR. Dashiell in Doubt for While

John F. Dashiell, professor in
the University, came speeding
into the house of one of his
neighbors Monday afternoon.
He had got a telegram signed by
Mrs. Knowles, his mother-in-
law, who was with Mrs. Dashiell
in New York, and it said that
Robert Edgar Dashiell had ar
rived-weight nine pounds.
Four or. five hours later, in
the evening, came a second mes
sage, also signed by Mrs.
Knowles, and this one announc-
ed the coming of Dorothy
Dashiell-weight nine and a half
pounds.
Here'was a puzzle indeed. Mr..
Dashiell didn't know what to
make of it. And, when. he dis
cussed the matter with his
friends, they too were mystifed,
In the second telegram there was
no allusion to the first. Was the
first a mistake? Or was it. !?
Yes, it did look like twins.
No more news came that night
and none all day Tuesday.
Mr.. Dashiell remained uncertain
whether he was the father Of
two new children or only one.
The Chapel Hill weekly. [volume] (Chapel Hill, N.C.) 1923-1972, 1927-06-17

He might nave wired for more
explicit information but his dis
position position was was "0f Oh, we'll; if they
don't want to telegraph me, I'll
just wait for a letter"
Wednesday the letter came,
and the mystery was cleared.
First, Mrs. Dashiell herself
told her mother it was a girl.
A few moments later Mrs.
Knowles happened to see the
sheet upon which the births were
officially recorded, and here the
Dashiell newcomer was put
down as male. Taking this for
correct, the grandmother sent
word to the father that the baby
was Robert Edgar. When she
met the nurse little while af-
terward she asked her how she
had made the mistake of telling
Mrs. Dashiell it was a girl. But
it is" insisted the nurse. They
visited the room where the new
born babies were assembled,
And it was a girl. Hence the
Dorothy telegram. Probably the
excitement caused by the discov-
cry was responsible for Mrs.
Knowles not debiting a boy at
the same time she credited a girl.

Hughes Tent in Use
Reyivalist Spreads Canvas in Rich
mOnd, and ThrOngs Hear Him

1t was chronicled in these col
umns a few months ago that
Rev. w. G. Hughes, the revival
ist who lives in Chapel Hill, had
got a monster tent which he
planned to use, when warm
weather came, for his meetings.
He pitched it alongside Broad
street, Richmond, Virginia, re-
Gently, for a series of services
under the auspices of the Boule-
ward church of that city. He
was there for three weeks end
ing last Saturday, and throngs
came to hear him preach. The
string band of the Richmond po-
lice force, and several other or
chestras, played for him, Before
he left he had added fifty men,
bers to the church.
This week he is pitching the
tent in Martinsville, Virginia,
and he will go there Sunday for
a stay of two or three weeks.

Printers off to Coast
Harrington and Ehrhart Start for
Pacific in Highly Decorated Ford

Elmer Harrington and George
Ehrhart started off for the
Pacific Coast Saturday in a Ford
car in which they had invested
5 $l00--nriginal purchase price
$25, and $75 for repairs and
new parts. Mr.. Harrington is
the chief linotype operator for
the Orange Printshop; Mr..
Ehrhart is a University student
of the alternating current vari-
ETY.; that is. he is a student for
a while, and then he quits the
classic shades to operate a limo
type and replenish his treasury
so that he may come back to his
studies again.
The two young men decorated
the ancient touring car lavishly
with information in white paint.
On each side was the legend
~. NJ Coast to Coast; and
in 'front.' just under the wind
shield was \the line (evidently
inspired by the Lindbergh ves-
sel) : Spirit of b.. N. c." Part
of the baggage was a demount-
able bed-frame. AT night this
is placed over the top of the two
seats, and the travellers sleep
close up under the roof. The
steering wheel is removed from
its usual position when each
days journey is done, so as to
be out of the way of the bed.
Messrs. Harrington and Ehr-
hart said they expected to stay
in Asheville two or hree days
and then move on to Memphis.
Thence they will proceed, prob
ably by way of st. Louis, Kan
sas City, and Denver, to Cali
fornia. But they are not tying
themselves down to any fixed
route; they'll go wherever their
impulse takes them. Perhaps,
if their money runs low, they
may offer their temporary SER
vices to printing houses along
the way.
They count on being back in
Chapel Hill in September. Rob-
ert P. Moore Of Statesville, who
has become a practiced limo
type operator since he entered
the University three years ago,
has taken Mr.. Harrington's
place in the Orange Printshop
for the summer.

BUILDING STADIUM
SEATS AT RATE
OF 500 PER DAY
Work Goes Ahead with Great
Rapidity, Unimpeded
by Wet Weather
ALL EXCAVATION is DONE

The contractors for the Kenan
stadium are now pouring 500
seats day, or one section. Each
of the two stands is to contain
0 "a sections. That is, the entire
stadium will contain AZ sections,
or $4,000 seats.
The recent rainy weather
brought no halt in the construc-
ton operations. The concrete
mixers were kept going, and the
mixture, running down the slope
in a metal trough, was placed in
the forms as rapidly as the job
is done when the sun shines.
. All the excavation is finished,
and the steam shovel, which was
brought to the site while snow
lay on the ground last winter,
has taken its departure. What
ever blasting was heard this
week was for the purpose of
blowing up stumps outside of the
enclosure.
Thus far all the concrete work
has been on the east stand. First
the parapet wall in front was
completed, and then the parapet
wall at the north end. The pour
ing of the seats themselves be-
gan at the north and is proceed
ing southwark. Five sections
had been poured yesterday; if
the schedule is maintained. the
remaining 10 will have been
completed by the 18th of July.
Meanwhile, the forms for the
west stand will have been put in
place, and the middle of July
will see the front parapet wall
on that side under way. The
entire east stand should be done
before the first of September.
The 18th day of October is
now announced by the Univer-
Sity athletic authorities as the
day when the entire job will be
completed. This allows time for
the laying of the wooden seats
on top of the concrete; the build
ing of the rest rooms and lava
tories adjacent to the stands the
piping and electric wiring; the
surf&cing of the playing field /;
the clearing away of leftover
stone and lumber and miscella-
neous rubbish; the finishing off
of the roads and paths; and
whatever planting Of grass and
shrubbery can be done this year.
There are eight approaches to
the stadium, all for pedestrians.
Most of these are pathways. The
roadways over which vehicles
may pass for service purposes
will be used only for foot traf-
fic on days when games are play
ed.

ASSESSORS NAME
TUESDAY AS DAY
FOR TAX HEARING
Property Owners Are Invited
to Appear and Discuss
The Valuations
SOME PROTESTS PROBABLE

Next Tuesday is fixed as the
day for a public hearing on tax
assessments in Chapel Hill town.
ship. The hearing will be held
in the Peoples Bank, beginning
at 8 A. NJ, by the assessors, d.
d. Carroll and John T. Fowler.
Mr., Fowler was appointed to
succeed ]. w. Bennett, who
started on the assessing task but
was compelled by illness to give
it up.
Citizens of the township have
been listing their property with
i S. w. Andrews for about a
month. The figures they turn
in are passed on to the assessors
tor review. Mr.. Carroll and Mr..
Fowler have met several times
during the last week to consider
the property holdings one by one
and place valuations upon them.
What they are seeking to do
is to determine the fair market
value of each piece of real estate.
Having decided upon this, they
place the assessment at 20 per
cent. For example, if a mans
house and lot are thought to be
worth $4,000, the assessment is
fixed at $1,000.
There are two aspects to the
assessors problem. First, they
must endeaxor. to euualize values
here in Chapel Hill, so that the
burden is fairly distributed as
among the taxpayers of the
township. Second, they must
see that the assessments here
bear just relation to those in
the other townships Of Orange
county. If Chapel Hill property
is assessed at a higher percent
age than is applied to property
in other townships, then Chapel
Hill people will pay an unduly
large proportion of the county
taxes.
1t is probable that the greatest
increases, in terms of percent
age, will be made upon some of
the larger properties in the viii
lage, particularly those along the
business block between the post
office and Strowd's garade. Be-
cause OF recent sales and because
of known income from buildings
on that block, actual market val
ues there are more easily ascer-
tainable than in the residence
sections.
At the hearing Tuesday the
assessors will read out their val
uations, and every owner who
thinks his assessment is too high
will have the opportunity to
state his reasons.
After the assessors have made
their final decisions, their list
will be taken to Hillsboro to the
county assessor, T. M. ARA
smith. 1t is Mr.. Arrasmith's
function to bring the valuations,
in the county as a whole, into
a fair relation.
The county commissioners
constitute a final board of ap-
peals.
