Miss Hollands Hearse
Sombre Vehicle Parks near Home Of
the Lady of Glandon Forest

Miss Alma Holland, who lives
out in Glandon Forest, looked
out of her window few days
ago and saw a hearse stationed
directly behind her house. This
puzzled her. And it kept puz-
zling her all day while she was
at her work in the botany build
ing. She heard no news that
explained the presence of the
sombre vehicle. Next day it
was there again, and the next
day after that, and so on. Be-
cause of its proximity TO her
home the people who passed by
began to allude to it as Miss
Hollands hearse." 1t develop
ed, upon inquiry, that one of
the carpenters working on the
Critz George house had purchas-
ed the hearse to use as a migra-
tory tool house. 1t served ad-
mirably for this purpose, and
it decorated the landscape in a
manner which, though a trifle
doIorous,, was more than a trifle
piquant.
Miss Holland and the other
denizens Of the forest became
accustomed to the hearse, and
their first unfriendliness gave
way 10 IeeIlng OF comrade-
ship.

Chapel Hill Chaf

At the esPickwick last Saturday
night the news reel showed the
guard mount at Buckingham
Palace. The soldiers with their
enormous fur hats marched in
perfect line, and presently King
George the Fifth was brought
into view. In a gorgeous uni
form, mounted on "a steed with
gay trappings, he received and
returned the salute of each pass
ing. platoon. The young matron
in the seat beside mine, after
looking on in ecstacy a few mo-
ments, exclaimed: ooh, why
can't we have a king in this
country" Suddenly the monarch
and the marching troops disap-
peared and gave place to Presi-
dent Coolidge, in frock coat and
high hat, attending some mem
orial celebration in Indiana.
"Now, look" said my neighbor.
Didn't | tell you we'd much bet
ter have a king, and | must
say the Indiana gathering was
a drab- and gloomy spectacle
compared with the guard mount
in front of Buckingham palace,
| thought of this next morning
when | picked up the paper and
saw Mencken's piece proposing
that Coolidge be made America S
first king. "The instincts of the
human race" he said, run in
favor of monarchy, and they al
ways have. This ancient human
instinct is too powerful to be
upset by democratic rhetoric" !"
He recalled the election of GER
tain presidents sons, and the
candidacy of other presidents
sons, as evidence that Ameri-
cans are friendly to the crown
prince idea, and concluded by

The JOhnsOns Come By
Well-known Authors Gay-Colored
Tie StartIes the Community

Mr.. and Mrs. Gerald Johnson
were here Tuesday and Wednes-
day as the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul John, Weaver.
They caused not little peev-
ishness among their friends be-
cause they didn't turn up when
they were expected. Word had
spread about that they were to
arrive Monday, and this expec-
tation was strengthened when
a bulletin from Miss Harriet
Herring's Office announced that
a letter had been forwarded here
for Mrs. Johnson. The Murchi-
sons had a dinner ready for
them Monday evening, but they
weren't here to eat it. The ten
sion had reached a desperate
stage when they relieved it by
coming in Tuesday. Then, the
next day, Mr.. Johnson again had
the community in a feverish con-
dition by appearing in the gay
est tie this region has seen since
DIR. Charles Minors last visit
Mr.. Johnson, on his vacation
from the Baltimore Eveming
San, has been dividing his time
between Little Switzerland,
where Mrs. Johnson and the
children are passing the sum-
fner, and his fathers home In
ThomasyiIle. He went back to
Little Switzerland from here and
will be- in Thomasville again next
week.

$21,529 IS THIS
COUNTY'S SHARE
OF SCHOOL FUND
Oranna,S Financial Situation Is
Not Much Changed by
the Allotment
WHAT EFFECT ON TAXES?

The amount allotted to Orange
county, from the states school
equalization fund, is $21,529.
This is only $3,287 more than
was received last year, so that
the county's financial situation
is not materially changed by the
allotment.
1t was hoped, and generally
expected, that, inasmuch as the
equalization fund was more than
doubled by the recent legislature,
the contribution to Orange would
be correspondingly augmented.
Indications are that the dis
tribution of the fund this year
will develop a scandal. There
has not been time for a thorough
analysis of the allotments, but
the inequalities, on their face,
are such as to arouse grave sus-
picion of favoritism.
For example, last year Cam
den and Robson counties each
received $4,000. This year
Camden gets $4,000 and Robe
son gets $4,000. Dare, every
where admitted to be one of the
neediest counties, gets actually
less than it got last year. \
The NelOs and Observer is
making the most vigorous as
sault on the distribution. The
figures it publishes in both news
and editorial columns call for
an explanation from the board.
f. c. Branson, into whose of
flee here come all the North Car
olina weeklies, says that the vii
lage and country press reflects
statewide Indignation at the di-
vision of the fund. And it is
denounced by some of the most
careful observers of North Car
olina's educational affairs.

An Airplane Is Here
Pilot Ratlif, Taking Passengers
Makes Flights Over the Village

All during the day, every day
this week, an airplane has been
flying over the village. 1t be-
longs to Vernon Ratliff of Rock
ingham. He carries one pas
enger at a time at SO a trip, and
each trip lasts for about six min
utes. He took up eighteen pas
sengers Wednesday morning
which indicates that his visit to
Chapel. Hill is profitable ven
ture.
Among those who have flown
with Mr.. Ratliff are two of the
Prouty boys, and Melvin Roach
and Homer Dollar of the force
at Jack -Sparrow's filling station.
Most of the other passengers
have been Summer School stu
dents.
The pilot comes from Rocking
ham. Jack Sparrow, who was
instrumental in bringing him
here, arranged with w. s. Rob-
erson for his use of the meadow
opposite the station, near the
one-mile bridge on the Durham
road, as landing field. He has
been buying from Mr.. Sparrow
a lot of No-Nox gas as fuel for
his engine.
People poured out of homes
and stores and University build
ings to stare at the plane dur
ing its first three or four flights,
but it was not long before the
novelty had worn off and every
body was taking the thing as a
matter of course.

hearing Clyde Eubanks, retiring
president of the association, de-
liver the keynote address.

The Towns Budget
Manager Knox Has Prepared Sched-
ule of Next Years Expenditures

The town budget for next
year, prepared by Manager E.
M.-Knox, shows that the the a aFFfafe aaFFfafettlFHltt HIT
to be raised by taxation for the
general fund is $17,178, anf in
crease of 1851 over last year.
For debt service (that is, for
interest, sinking fund install
ments, and payments on princi-
pal) the amount to be raised by
taxation is $3.50, an increase
of $1,873 over last year. Thus,
for both general fund and debt
service combined the call is for
$24,758, an increase of $2,124.
Just what the tax rate will
be is not yet determined, because
the total of tax assessments is
still unknown. The final word
on this cannot be given until af-
ter the county assessor has sub
mitted the township reports to
the county commissioners and
they have approved the valua-
tions.
1t is likely, however, that the
increase in valuations will cause
some decrease in the tax rate.
The citizen who inspects the
budget in Mr.. Knox's Office sees
that $34,922 must be raised for
the general fund. But about half
of that amount comes from
special levies various licenses
and fees) and from University
contributions. for fire, police, and
other services; so that general
taxation has to supply but
$17,178.
Similarly, $21, ,405 must be
raised for debt service; but,
when the special assessments
are deducted, the amount that
must come from general taxa
ton is $3.50.
In the two accounts there was
left from last year a surplus of
$5,311. OF this, $4,000 is used
to reduce taxation for next year,
and the balance, $3,311, is re-
tanned as surplus. But for the
use of $4,000 from the surplus,
the amount to be raised by tax
alton next year would be $26,758
instead of $24,758.
The total town tax rate last
year was $1.38 on the 500 of
assessed valuation. This includ-
ed the school rate Of $0.68, the
town rate, proper being SOTO.

ASpeech in Georgia

When | was at Mr.. Branson's
the other evening his son-in-law,
Young 3. Smith, had just come
in by automobile from Athens,
Georgia. Until | happened up
on some Georgia newspapers the
next day | did not know what
q stir this soft-spoken man had
been raising in that state. He
was all over the front pages,
and in the editorial columns as
well.
He delivered the commence
ment address at the University
of Georgia, of which he is an
alumnus, and what he told the
assembled company was a plen-
ty. His observations were ex-
pressed in general terms, but
everybody knew he was talking
about his own alma mater. 1t
is common knowledge in educa-
tional circles all oyer the South
that this institution has suffered
grievously, for many years, by
being made a football of politics.
The tenor of Mr., Smiths re-
marks-rather, the application
that his hearers gave themAa
was that if Georgians wanted
their university to count for any
thing in the educational world,
they would have to undergo a
complete change of attitude to-
ward it.
There is the law school, for
example. (This did not figure
in Mr.. Smiths address; am
it in order to supply
some of the background), That
it is not ranked as a Glass A
law school is a fact which has
been the source of great dis
tress, approaching humiliation,
among the more enlightened
of the Georgia bar. The
reason for its low standing could
be told in one word: politics.
Some might say lack of resourc-
es, but that goes back to poll
tics.
A few years ago Judge Gober
was put in as president of the
law school. The school has a
dean, and the judge has been
merely a figurehead. AS evidence
of what competent persons think
of the school, a federal judge
said in a public speech in Sa-
vannah that it was chiefly
known as "the resting place far
a retired politician" On top of
