Ku Klux Visits Hughes
klansmen Listen to Sermon, Then
Make a Handsome Donation

Rev. w. G. Hughes, the evan
gelist, received a visit from
about 200 hooded and robed
members of the Ku Klux Klan
one night recently.
But they did not come to en-
gage in those unfriendly atten-
tions with which the name of
the Klan is associated in the pub
lie mind. They marched into the
tent where Mr.. Hughes was hold
ing a meeting-at Red Hill,
seven miles from Roanoke, Vir-
ginia-sat down, and listened at
tentively to his sermon. Not
only that, but before they
marched out they turned in an
envelope containing a handsome
cash contribution. Upon his re-
turn to- Chapel Hill last week
Mr.. Hughes said that, despite all
the hard things that had been
said Of it, he was inclined to
think well Of the Klan.
The evangelist is leaving here
to live in Axton, Virginia, about
30 miles from Danville. His son
and daughter remain, however,
to continue their studies in the
University.
For the next few days Mr..
Hughes will be conducting a
series of meetings in Callands,
Virginia.

Jones Took Wrong Turn
He Meant to Come HOme-Went to
Pinehurst Instead

After depositing his daughter,
Eleanor, with the Lawrences
Saturday afternoon for safe
keeping, Howard Mumford
Jones, with his wife, his mother,
and Willis Posey started off on
an automobile trip to visit the
pottery makers near Sanford.
The LaWrences and Eleanor ex-
pected them in by supper time,
but hour after hour passed with
no sign of the travellers. So
Eleanor was put to bed in the
rectory. 1t developed that Mr.
Jones, on starting home from
jugtown, had made a vital err
ror: turning the wrong way at
a fork in the road he had gone
to Pinehurst, rs miles further
south, instead of coming back
here. He drove into Chapel Hill
a little before one o'clock, went
to the rectory, took a look in,
and decided not to awake the
family. The next morning he
came and got Eleanor.

A TOrn-up Street
Chief ThOrOughfare of Village in Con-
fusion as Change Is Made

Chapel Hills main street is
in state of disorder and con-
fusion now while the north curb
is being set back five or six feet
nearer to the building line. The
space between the old and new
lines of the curb is a muddy
ditch which pedestrians cross
either by leaping or on rude
plank bridges. Beams, boards,
loose stone, tools, and all other
objects that accompany street
improvement operation, clutter
the street and obstruct traffic.
In front of the new Sutton build
ing, where the sidewalk has not
yet been laid, people have to go
out into the roadway for a de-
tour. The work is disagree
able necessity. 1t is taken with
goodrhumor, but everybody
prays that it will be completed
promptly.

Durant Is Coming
Philosopher Will Give Lecture in Ger
rard Hall Monday Evening

Will Durant, author of The
Story of Philosophy, is coming
here to lecture Monday evening
in Gerard Hall. His topic is:
rs Progress a Delusion?"
Mr.. Durant first became pronl-
inent outside of Columbia Uni
versity circles when he began to
deliver lectures at New York's
great community center, the
Labor Temple. His first address
there led to the formation of two
classes which met 40 weeks in
the year, and there was an aver
age attendance of 1000 for eight
years. In 1917 he broke all at
tendance records for the bureau
of public lectures of the New
York board of education with a
series of 20 addresses in high
school auditorium.
The Story of Philosophy was
an astounding success. There
was much doubt, in the publish
ing world as elsewhere, that
such a book would be in great
demand. Only 1900 copies of
the first edition MAY 1926
were printed. These were sold
so rapidly that another printing
was ordered in June, and a third
in the same month. By Novem-
Der $4,000 copies had been sold
and it was a $5 book.
John-Dewey says of it; "The
work is thoroughly scholarly.
Mr.. DuEant has gone to the ORR
ginal writings, and not to sec
ond-hand sources. .. His
expositions are accurate as we'll
as clear; he has shown remark
able skill; he has humanized
rather than merely popuiarized
the story of philosophy"

Good News for Golfers
Many improvements at the Links of
the Country Club

A report of the greens committee
of the country club tells of many inn
provemgiTts that will be welcomed by
golfers.
Chief of the innovations is the EN-
ployment of a student who will act
as starter on the course and, through
a registration system at the first tee,
endeavor to prevent congestion. This
new addition to the golf force will
be on hand in the afternoon and on
Saturday morning; he will handle
balls and other supplies needed by the
players.
The second change is the throwing
open Of the course to students under
an associate membership plan. A
yearly fee of $40 with no initiation
fee, will be charged to students who
wish to play. Another provision al
lows students who want to play occa-
sionally to do so for a fee of so cents
an afternoon. There has been no
change in the additional golf fee paid
by faculty and town members.
The golf course is being surveyed
by one Of the classes in engineering
A sixth hole is il. process Of construc-
ton under the supervision of Critz
George. Tee boxes will soon be in
stalled on all trees, and the new rules
governing hazards and out-of-bound
play viii be posted on bulletin board

PRICE OF TICKET
TO THE VIRGINIA
GAME SET AT 81
Athletic Council Decides to
Make Uniform Charge for
All Seats in Stadium
SALE TO BEGIN AT ONCE

The University Athletic Coun-
Gil, composed of faculty men,
bers, alumni, and students, has
decided upon 50 as the price for
a ticket to the Virginia-Carolina
football game on Thanksgiving
Day. This is the same charge
that was made for the match
two years ago.
All seats in the Kenan stadium
ffeegaa esq rrdd dies less Of whether they are
opposite the middle of the field
or off at the ends-are offered
at the same price. The design
of the stands is such that there
are no bad seats; a good view of
the match is obtainable from
anywhere on the concrete. But
of course the midfield seats will
be most in demand, and these,
will be allotted to the earliest
applicants.
Order blanks are n4w in pro-
cess of being mailed out to alum
nj from the office of Charles T.
Woollen, graduate manager of
athletics. Each of these, when
returned, must be accompanied
by check or money order.
An alumnus who lives in
Chapel Hill showed to a friend
yesterday check he had made
out for $48, payable to the ath-
letic association. "As soon as
get my order blank" he said, Il
am going to take this check to
headquarters so that l will be
among the first on the list. |
am ordering these % seats for
myself and for several alumni,
friends of mine, who have COM
missioned me to make applica-
tions for them"
The question of the charge of
admission was discussed at
length in the athletic council be-
fore a decision was reached. One
tentative suggestion was that
the more desirable seats should
be sold higher than the less de-
But it was finally agreed
that a uniform price, and one
no greater than that of two
years ago, was the correct an
swer.
Careful preparations for
handling the crowd are being
made. The athletic authorities
are pleased to hear, from the
state highway commission, that
the paving Of the road from the
south is expected to be completed
all the way to Chapel Hill by
Thanksgiving Day.

STRANGE ANIMAL
Is CHASED INTO INTO
M'CORKLE YARD
Hunters, after Pursuing 1t for
an Hour, Fail to Learn
Its Species
THE VILLAGE sPECULATEs

A strange animal-cat? fox?
monkey?-was chased into the
yard of T. S. McCorkle, Univer-
sity music professor, Monday
night by Robert Neville, his two
boys, a negro, and hounds.
There it disappeared. In the
drugstores, barber shops, and
the other gossip centers along
the main street the citizens of
the village have engaged in spir-
tied speculation, these last three
days, as to the species of the
creature.
With his human and canine
companions Mr.. Neville, who is
the mail carrier on route 3,
started out on a 'pOssum hunt at
about nine o'clock. They work
ed around through the woods
near Morgan's creek, southwest
of Chapel Hill, and pretty soon
the baying of the dogs gave
promise of a capture, At length
the hunters discerned a dim
shape ascending a tree. Axes
were brought into play, but in
a moment the quarry leapt to
the ground and was off to the
east.
1t was then that the party be-
gan to entertain doubts as to
what sort of a beast they we're
chasing. From their fieeting
glimpses it hadn't looked like
'possum, and it didn't seem to
act like a 'possum. One of the
boys recalled that a pet fox had
escaped from the Bruce Strowd
home, and then came the recol-
lection of the monkey that had
been lost along the Orange
Chatham county line several
weeks before. Or could it be a
cat?
The pursuit continued. No less
than six times was the animal
treed. On one of these occa-
sions the negro climbed after it,
but when he was several feet up
it began to come down to meet
him, whereupon the negro,
alarmed, loosed his grip on the
trunk and fell to the ground.
An hour brought the chase to
the Pittsboro highway. Here
the animal took refuge in cul-
vert. A dog was at each end,
and so the adventure seemed to
be about to reach a triumphant
conclusion. But when one dog
commenced a furious barking
and howling the other dog ran
across the road to see what the
excitement was, and the prison.
er ran out of the culvert's un-
guarded end and up the slope
to the musicians yard. The noise
doubled and redoubled as the
hunting party dashed on toward
the front porch.
This was the end. The mys-
terious animal disappeared and
nothing more was seen of it.
Next day Mr.. Neville offered
apologies to Mr.. McCorkle for
the invasion, and Mr.. McCorkle,
whose estate had suffered no Wis
ibJe harm, offered condolences
that the prey had escaped.

Immediately some of the townspeople de-
cided that they would set up their bust
ness establishment on the east bank of
the Tongue and began to move their
buildings and merchandise. The name
of Miles City was retained and within
three months only one or two cabins
were left standing on the old site which
is now n OF the ghost cities of Mon
tana.
Following the tragedy of the Battle OF
the Little Big Horn of June rs, 1875,
General Miles was ordered to the north
west from his base then at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas. He was instructed to
establish a military post and proceed to
force the recalcitrant Indians back to
their reservations. He arrived at the
mouth Of the Tongue river on August J.,
1876. by steamer up the Missouri n
Yellowstone rivers. Subsequently he set
up q cantonment that later was aban-
doned in favor OF the present site Of
Fort Keogh, about two miles to the west.
but which in a transfer in recent years
was set over to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture and is now the
Range Livestock Experiment station.
Luther Barker or Clay Center, Kansas,
In 1926 commander of the National In
dian War Veterans, was a member Of the
surveying party that came upon General
Miles who was accompanied by a num-

hunters of buffalo and makers of hay and
brought to Fort Keogh the results Of the
chase and forage for the animals. But
buffalo hunting developed into a COM
mercialized activity, until in 1882 the
hunters had practically exterminated the
animals and their hides were scattered
all over the country through the medium
Of the overcoat making industry.
Following the capture Of Chief Joseph
In the Bearpaw mountains OF northern
Montana in October, 1877, immigration
to the state increased and Miles City
shared In its results and began to gain
in population. The coming Of the
Northern Pacific railroad in the early
eighties gave an impetus to the growth
OF the city. The trailing Of longhorn
cattle up from the south to the new
feeding grounds made Miles City the cen
ter of a new COW kingdom. 1t became a
trading center for many cattle outfits,
and with the building of the Puget

"Out Where Men Dare to Djsbelieue'

preacher they had turned the church
over to denominational ownership and
management. But how to run q church
they knew not.
Lives in Church
80 the preacher bought a mattress
and blankets n set up housekeeping
in the new church. After a late supper
in a sloppy restaurant charging Waldorf
Astoria prices he went to bed in a corner
OF the church. n it kept on raining
1t rained harder and harder. 1t battered
in minor key on the roof. 1t was almost
spooky, this big empty church.
THAT night the preacher thought and
thought and thought. What would he
do? He had his education. He was sup
posed to know how to conduct a church.
uBt here nobody seemed to care. Who
would pay the salary? Who would pass
the collection plate? Who would sing in
the choir? How to start a Ladies' aid
society? How to get money to build q
parsonage for his wife, who was now
visiting relatives in the east? How to
beginp What would he do first? What
would st. Paul do here? How get q
crowd? All this and more whirled
through his mind as he tossed and tossed
through that night as 1T rained and
rained and rained.
"AIl at once, as by a bolt of lightning
from the clouded sky, came a thought.
1t was a thought charged n dynamic.
1t came in answer to intensest prayer.
1t came to a mind wrestling with the
beasts of temptation. 1t came at the
time when he was tempted to pack up
and go back to q sheltered and tradition
allied pulpit In the east.
Find Out What People Need
This new thought was luminous. 1t
was from God. The glow of 1t has not
diminished in all the intervening years.
1t was this; Don't worry about your
self; find out what the people need most;
serve them and you will get on"
In such a ANN was Mr.. Mecklen-
burg initiated into Montana. Camped
near Waller at the time was a party of
