Monkey UnrecIaimed
Pet Lost by DIR. Bullock is Kept on
Farm in Chatham County

Out on a farm a few miles to
the south of Chapel Hill, near
Fearrington's in Chatham coun-
ty, resides a monkey. Temper
arily his master is Bob Good
win, whose mother and sister
take care Of him while Mr..
Goodwin is away on his travels
as a salesman.
This is the pet that DR.. B. D..
Bullock, University alumnus,
lost three or four weeks ago on
the way back here from a camp
ing expedition to the Haw
River. Jocko escaped while the
automobile was halted at Pear
sons store, at the Orange-Chat-
ham line, and for several hours
was lost in the woods. A boy
named Williams captured him
and turned him over to Bob
Goodwin.
Bud Perry, the barber, who
was with DIR. Bullock on the
camping trip and is the physi-
clans friend and trusted agent,
sought, but did not accomplish,
the surrender of the monkey.
His credentials, he says, were
not convincing to the present
possessor.,
DR.. Bullock, who is stationed
in the Navy hospital in Charles
ton, South Carolina, has had his
attention so distracted by other
affairs recently that he has not
taken any positive step to re-
cover his pet. But he expects
to equip Mr.. Perry and another
friend, Deputy Sheriff Lassiter
OF Chatham county, with proper
evidence of ownership, so that
they may obtain the monkey and
ship him to Charleston.

The Grand Jury
Ends Three Day Session with Investi-
cation of County Departments

The Orange county grand
jury, with Isaac w. Pritchard of
Chapel Hill as foreman, was in
session in Hillsboro during the
first three days of this week.
One of it's activities was an
investigation Of various county
departments. At noon Wednes-
day, when the bills of indictment
and the presentments had been
disposed of, Mr.. Pritchard ap-
pointed committees to visit the
county home, the convict camp,
and the county offices. These
errands were completed in the
afternoon and reports were pre-
pared before the adjournment
toward nightfall.
The records in the offices were
found to be in good condition.
The committee which went to
the county home recommended
certain improvements in the ar
rangements for sanitation, and
repairs to afford better drainage
from the caves of the building.
The report on the convict camp
carried suggestion that, in the
of health, more care
should be taken of the cooking
equipment and utensils.
One member of the jury re-
marked, after adjournment, up
on the changes that had taken
place, in recent years, in the at
titude of the jurors toward their
duties.
Fifteen years ago." he said,
"the members came into town
in buggies and wagons, and they
were always trying to hurry
through the business so that
they could get out into the
street and swap horses. Now
they come in automobiles, and
they are willing to stick at their
job in the courthouse. There
are more young men than there
used to be, and they display
much more intelligent interest
in the work of the jury"

One winters day about. forty
years ago the railway train rurr
ming from Chapel Hill to I'M
Versity station, after covering
five and a half miles at its won't
ed speed of ten miles an hour,
came to an unexpected stop.
The locomotive had ceased to
function because the water had
given out.
The photograph here repro
duced, which comes to the
Weekly from Herbert B. Battle
of Montgomery, Alabama, shows
part of the bucket brigade
formed by the passengers in or
der to refill the tank from the
brook which passed under the
railway at this point. When
Mr.. Battle was in Chapel Hill
several months ago on a visit to
his daughter, Mrs. John NJ.
Booker, he told me Of having
this picture somewhere among
the souvenirs of his youth and
promised me that when he ran
across it again he would let me
have it for publication.

A Cold Snap
Village Visited by Shivery Weather
Rain. Thunder, and Lightning

( Weather more suitable to
November than to August de-
scended upon the village Wed
nesday evening. Men had been
going about in their shirtsleeves
during the day, and women in
the thinnest of summer frocks,
but toward supper time closets
and trunks were raided for the
woolen garments that had been
put away in the spring,
A nippy wind blew through
the night, and blankets were
called into service. Yesterday
morning brought leaden skies
and a still lower temperature.
And after breakfast came a
rainstorm accompanied by thun-
der and lightning. Logs were
blazing in fireplaces, and citi-
zens who were not fortunate e.
nough to be able to stay at home
went to their work shivering,
some of them bundled up in
overcoats.
Outdoor construction opera
tions, around the new stadium
and at various homes in process
of erection, had to be halted on
account of the rain,

THE GREAT LULL
Is NOW AT HAND
But Some University Offices
Are Very Busy Preparing
For Incoming ThrOng
GREAT ARMY OF FRESHMEN

AAC iOab AA0lA Ili tlIC Vi
Chapel Hill is now at hand: the
period between the end of the
Summer School and the opening
of the college year. For a little
while longer the four or FIVE
score attendants at the Summer
Institute will impart some show
of life to the campus; but these
too will take flight on the End,
and then the village will be bare
of students.
The external aspect of drow-
siness, however, will not reflect
the true pace of University ac-
tivities. For many of the de-.
partments are, astir with prep
aratiors for the incoming horde.
Applications for admission are
being examined and sorted in
the registrars Office, and every
day dozens of letters are sent
out to students who have asked
information about courses, fees,
and living accommodations.
The Y. M. c. A. and the dean of
students are making plans to
Danish the perplexities and as
suage the loneliness Of the fresh
men. Committees are drafting
schedules of classes. P. l..
Burch's building maintenance
divisions are furnishing up
classrooms and dormitories.
And Alf Pickard and his myr-
midons are getting lawns and
paths into good trim.
Registrar T. j, Wilson, Jr.,
reports that the freshmen's ap-
.plications received already ex-
ceed by 100 the number enrolled
last year. More than $50 appli-
cations have been accepted, and
they are pouring in on every
mail.
Freshman Week" begins
Monday the 10Th. Seventy-five
members of the Y. M. C. A. cab
met will be on hand to receive
the new students, take them a.
bout the campus and the village,
help them through the various
processes of matriculation, and
withal, initiate them into Uni
versity life. One Of the initia-
ton rites is a thorough physi-
cal examination for every one of
the newcomers. Those who are
found to be defective in any way
will receive special treatment
under the personal supervision
Of the gymnasium director.
The registration of freshmen
is scheduled for Wednesday the
2lst, and of upperclassmen
Thursday the 22nd. Classroom
work will get under way the
23rd, four weeks from today.
For the next three or four
weeks the merchants of the viii
lage will be seen, during a great
part of the day, standing in
their front doors and gazing
out upon the thinned traffic of
the street. Commerce will be at
a low ebb, but its votaries will
not look particularly sad. For,

better day soon to come--the

ALDERMEN DEFER
PAVING DECISION
Doubtful about Wisdom of Lay,
ing Concrete in Middle
-.,.,, of Franklin Street
BARE MAJORITY SIGN UP

At a special meeting Wednes-
day afternoon the Aldermen de-
cided to postpone their decision
upon the petition for the paving
of the central strip on Franklin
street westward from the old
Baptist church. They are un-
willing to commit the village to
the expenditure until they are
more thoroughly convinced of
the wisdom of the project.
When the board authorized
the paving of the street last year,
on a basis of cooperation with
the state highway commission,
it was decided to leave the CEN
tral strip unpaved except for the
first block west of StroWd's ga
rage. The idea was that it
would eventually be sm0othed
off and planted. But it has re-
mained rough and ugly, a sue
cessiOn of shapeless piles of
dirt; possibly because there was
no money available for it's beau
tificatiOn, possibly because some
OF the property owners and
some of the city officials wanted
to bring up the question of a
curb-tO-curb pavement.
Persons who were at first
hearty advocates of planting in
the middle began to feel doubts
about it when they considered
the constant care and the con-
tinued expenditures of public
money that would be required to
keep the space in decent condi-
ton. Without proper mainten-
ance it might prove to be less
agreeable in appearance than a
EI al e,;panse Of concrete.
A few weeks ago some of the
property owners decided to cir
culate petition for curb-to-
curb paving over the entire
length of the street. Under the
law governing the financing of
street improvements by assess
ments, such petition has to be
signed by majority of the own
ers of the property facing the
street, and this ajority in num-
Der has to own more than half
the frontage. Finally the sigma
lures sufficient to meet this re-
quirement were obtained.
But the majority was not
large, either in number of sign
ers or in frontage. 1t appeared
that there were almost as many
opponents of the enterprise as
there were advocates. Thus the
aldermen did not find such over
Whelming sentiment on one side
of the question as they have
been accustomed to find in the
case Of other street paving
projects.
The property along the sec
ton of street involved in the
discussion has a total frontage
of 4,200 feet; that is, 2,100 feet
on each side. Under the as
sessment plan one third of the
cost would fall upon the property
on one side, one third on the
property on the other side, and
one third on the town as a
whole. The present authorize
ton provides for curbs separat-
ing the central strip from the
twin roadways, so that, to ar
rive at the net cost of the pro-
posed new paving, one has to
deduct the cost of the curbs al
ready authorized

Chapel Hill Chaf

| D.. W. y. DCI Hal u was tclllIlS Ile
a day or so ago of an unusual
experience in New York City.
He was riding down Broadway
in an open trolley car. His legs
were crossed; his right foot ex-
tended out few inches beyond
the left side of the car. There
he sat, enjoying the Broadway
spectacle. He chanced to wig
gle his foot-and his low-quar-
tered shoe came loose and drop
ped to the pavement. Two or
three men idling beside the curb
saw the falling shoe and ran to-
ward it. Other pedestrians
followed them, and in a moment
men and women, not knowing
what it was all about but sensing
excitement, came running from
all directions. Meanwhile Mr..
Bernard was clambering over
his fellow passengers to get to
the bell-rope on the other side
of the car. After being carried
about a hundred yards he alight-
ed and set out up the street,
with a sort of hopping gait, to
recover his shoe. But he found
himself separated from it by a
throng, the people on the outer
edge struggling to push their
way through to the center.
Policemen, shouting commands,
fought their way into the mass.
With much difficulty the Greek
professor penetrated to the spot
where a citizen was holding the
shoe aloft with the triumphant
air of the Man Who Got There
First; displayed his unshod right
foot as evidence of title; and
pursued his journey southwark
on the next passing car.
