Jim Snipes Detained
Police Doubt His Ownership of Car
He almost Misses Speech

The delegates to the drug
meeting in Greensboro last week
gave a hearty enough welcome
to jim Snipes, the negro ianitor
and handyman at Eubanks'
drugstore, but the municipality
of Greensboro didn't show him
an agreeable kind of hospitality.
From here jim took pharma-
ceutical group to the convention
in his Buick car. After he had
deposited his passengers at a ho-
tel he drove round in search of
a garage. Word had gone out to
the police of a recently stolen
Buick, and presently Jim was
stopped by an officer and close
ly questioned. His assurances
did-not satisfy, and he was taken
to the police station. There they
continued to ply him with ques-
tions. He became more nervous
every minute.
Boss, ! came to Greensboro
to hear Mr.. Eubanks' speech, .
he pleaded, "and if you don
lemme go I'll sho miss it."
AT length the officers were
convinced that the Buick was
Jim's own property. So he left
the station, found a garage in
which to leave his car, and
reached the druggists meeting
in time TO occupy a seat which
Mr.. Eubanks had reserved foi
him.

Some weeks ago l chronicled
R. P. McClamroch's industry as
a gardener. Afterward | learn
ed that l had happened to pass
the place on the only day in
many months when he had
welded the hoe, and that it was
Mrs. McClamroch who had made
and cherished the garden. A
score or so of my neighbors
came by my lot when | happened
to- be moving the lawn for the
first time in years, and all dur
ing the next week they were pay
ing me compliments on my care
of the grass. One of the shame
less abstainers from gardening
is E. C. BransOn. Eyes, | fre-
quently do a bit of gardening"
he said in reply to my question;
in fact, | have tried it three
times in the last IA years" Dr..
Charles S. Mangum, when he
was first married, gave his wife
to understand that he knew
nothing whatever about plants
or the management thereof, and
Uncle Jim Johnson did the work
in the Mangum garden for
twenty years. Then one time,
in a period when Uncle jim
could not come, the doctor, on a
whim, took off his coat and
manipulated the pruning shears
with an eXpertress that amazed
Mrs. Mangum. He explained
that he had received a thorough
training as a flower cultivator
in his early youth. When she
inquired why it had been kept
a secret, he answered: "Oh, I

write reports upon the secrets
he has made-the sea give up.
A curious thing about the
e til 1te1te is that that it it has TO be a
non-magnetic ship. Otherwise
the study of terrestrial magnet
ism could not be made from its
decks. Therefore it will not
have any iron or steel anywhere
about it. All its metal parts are
to be Of bronze. 1t will be
equipped with sails as we'll as an
oil-burnjng engine.
Within a few weeks Seiwell
will go to work to superintend
the construction of his labora-
tory on~the boat. The fall, the
winter, and most of the spring
will be thus consumed, and the
expedition will set forth in May.
The first destination is the Arc
tic; the next, probably, the
Antarctic; and thence the Car
negje will go to Norway, and to
the principality of Monaco on
the Mediterranean, and to Ma
pies, and then-everywhere.
One thing the scientists on
the vessel intend to do is to check
William Beebe's observations in
the Humboldt current off the
Peruvian coast - the current
that brings the flora and fauna
of the Antarctic northward to
mingle with those of tropical
waters. And they hope, too, to
survey Pacific isles which have
not yet been definitely charted.
Captain Ault will be both the
chief of the expedition and the
master of the ship.
Dick Seiwell is from Pennsyl-
vania. In the last two summers
he e'has been engaged in investi-
cations around Cane Cod

Coming Out in August; Author in
Chapel Hill for Short Stay

Phillips Russell, member of a
distinguished North Carolina
family and an alumnus of the
University, has written a biog-
raphy of John Paul Jones. Bren-
tano's will put it out in August.
This follows closely upon his
book on Benjamin Franklin,
which was acclaimed by the
critics as one of the best pieces
of biographical writing ever
done by an American.
Mr.. Russell was in Chapel Hill
Friday, having come by auto
mobile from New York with
Berkley G. Tobey, Brentano's
advertising manager, and Mrs.
Tobey. They went on to Rock
ingham, Mr.. Russell's old home,
the next morning.
The authors friends here, as
always upon the return of an
alumnus who has gone out into
the world and achieved fame, in
terrogated him eagerly about
his activities. They learned that
he was merely taking a short
breathing spell after his com
pletion of the sea fighters biog-
raphy He has already arranged
with his publishers to edit a vol
ume of biographical sketches of
famous Americans. The open
ing sketch, on Emerson, will be
written by Mr.. Russell himself.
The authorship of the others has
not yet been announced.

Seiwell Will Cruise around the
World ON Scientific Expedition

A keen mind, and an enthusi-
asm for research that never
tagged during all his college
course eeeetHfff Sc, has has won for for Dick Dick Sei=
well, who was graduated from
the University this year, a glori-
Gus adventure.
The Carnegie Institute has
selected him to take charge of
the biological and chemical OBJ
servations on the good ship Car
negie. The vessel is to start out
one year hence on a cruise of
three or four years. 1t will go
to the Arctic and the Antarctic
AS near tor each pole as pos
sible-and to all the other seas,
Before its mission is ended il
will have circumnavigated the
globe several times.
Primarily it is a physicists
expedition, with a study of ter
restrial magnetism as the chief
objective. But the company
of scientists must also include a
man who is qualified as a biologi-
cal oceanographer, and SeiwelI
is that man.
He will collect soil from the
bottom of the ocean, and fauna
and flora from the bottom and
all the intermediate depths. He
will make observations of tenn
peratures near the poles, in the
tropics, and in the temperate
latitudes, and at all the levels,
And in this work he will have
the aid of the finest instruments
that money can buy.
After the cruise is completed
and the Carnegie has been laid
up in the drydock, he will settle
down in some quiet plaee--for
months, maybe for years-to

Sleep under the Plane
Eugene Cate and Bill Preuty Serve
as Watchmen for Aircraft

Eugene Cate and William
Prouty sleep every night under
the wing of the RatliH airplane
down on the meadow opposite
Jack Sparrow's filling station.
These boys are ehums. and
ever since they were five years
old they have held to the deter
mination to be aviators. 1t was
a big day for them when Mr..
Ratliff brought his plane to
Chapel Hill, and they were
among his first patrons. Be-
fore he had been here a day
he had bargained with them TO
be the nighttime guardians of
his craft.
+ They have a mattress and
three blankets which they place
on the ground directly under the
spreading wing. The mosquitoes
almost devoured them the first
night; then they got a net, and
now when they go to bed they
hang it from the guy ropes
around their bed. and SO have
complete protection.
Two. dollars and a half, Joint
ly, is their pay for a night $
watching; but they have been
taking it out in rides instead of
cash. Eugene has made six
trips and Bill five.
Mr., Ratliff has done a brisk
business. On one day he made
40 trips, and on about half of
these he took two passengers.
AT So a head this means big
money. He plans to leave here
for Rockingham in a day on tive,
possibly to return later on.

A complete list of all revalua.
tions for Chapel Hill was hand
ed to me today, June 27, and |
am mailing a notice to each tax
payer of the increase or decrease
and the date of the county meet
ing to hear complaints at Hills
boro, which is Monday, July IL.
| am frank to say that | still
feel that the assessments are too
high, but that with a few ex-
ceptions they are on a fair equal
ity basis. Now, what is likely
to happen is: that many of our
citizens will complain and get
a reduction on their property,
while the masses will feel that
they should abide the apprais-
ers' values and groan under the
tax burdens. With all honesty,
| feel that DR.. Carroll and Mr..
Fowler should make one blanket
reduction Of from 6 to l0%d, and
thus keep all on the same equal
ity basis and then let the entire
town fight any reductions by
the commissioners. know how
easy it is to slip before the board
The Chapel Hill weekly. [volume] (Chapel Hill, N.C.) 1923-1972, 1927-07-01

and get a little off.
This is no time for favoritism,
but let all share a reduction if
any is to be made, unless some
real inequality has been made,
With a reduction of farm values
all over the county the total val
ues will likely fall far below
1926, but it is manifestly unfair
to make Chapel Hill shoulder
the taxes by increasing its val
ues. If the taxes must be kept
up to the same amount, let the
rate be increased, so all citizens
will share.
Citizens of Chapel Hill, now
is the time to act, not after the
taxes are levied. Our assessors
are honest men. They can be
convinced that a reduction
should be made if the town feels
that way, but they cannot be
convinced that small majority
shall have reductions and the
rest shoulder the taxes.
Most respectfully,
S. w. ANDREWS,
Tar Lister
