Virginia Editors Here
Come by Automobile from the Blue
Ridge Mountain Country

Bruce Crawford, editor of
CrGaOford's Weekly of Norton,
Virginia, Harry Howe, associate
editor. and E. S. Fraley, hard
ware merchant of the same
town, were in Chapel Hill for
a few hours Sunday They
came by automobile, passing
through Wytheville and Hills
vile in their own state and, then
crossing over into North Caro-
lima and coming through Mt.
Airy, Winston Salem, and
Greensboro.
Norton is in Wise county, in
the southwestern part of Vir-
ginia. This is the Blue Ridge
region where John Fox, Jr.,
lived and where he laid the
scene of many of his stories. Mr..
Crawford wrote the article pub
lished in the Dearborn Inde-
pendent a year or two ago,
when John Fox Danced His
Last Dance"
Fortunately the three visitors
were here on a day when the
sun was shining brightly and
when the flowers and shrubs and
trees showed at their best. So,
as they drove through the cam
pus and the village, the place
made a pleasant impression on
them.
One of the citizens Mr.. Craw-
ford sought out, for a brief chat,
was Addison Hibbard, whom he
was eager to meet because he
had been a regular reader of Mr..
Hibbard's column of book news
and comment in the Norfolk
VirginiGn-PaOt.

Burch will be the new aldermen
unless there are other nomina-
tions between nov and, Tuesday.
A rather confusing element in
the situation is that a man may
be made a candidate without
knowing anything about it and
frequently against his wishes.
All that>is necessary to get him
on the ballot@is for somebody to
turn in his name. They are
telling it around the village that
Mr.. Councils name was on file
for three or four days before he
even heard that it had been sug-
gested, and the story is that he
went up to Town Manager
Knox on the street and told him,
in no uncertain language, to be
sure to have the nomination can
celled. There seems to be. some
doubt as to whether the town
manager has the legal right to
take PERSONS name off the bal
lot simply because that person
objects to its being there. The
only method of cancellation, it
would seem, is for the citizen
who made the nomination to
withdraw it.

Chapel Hill Chaf

After the fire i'll his home last
week, caused by the ignition of
gasoline while he was cleaning
blankets, Russell Potter heard
many accounts of how it hap
pened. An oil stove caught fire,
and he was burned while taking
it out into the yard. He was
lying in bed smoking, and the
bed-clothes were lit by a spark
from his cigarette. The fire
started from the cook-stove
while he was preparing his
breakfast of eggs and bacon. A
rug on the floor blazed up from
some unknown cause, and he
was burned while removing it
from the house. And so on. In
two respects all the accounts
were correct: Cd there was a
fire, and (2) Mr.. Potter re-
ceived some painful burns.
Mrss Selma Lee went to
Louisville, Kentucky, for the
holidays, principally to see her
son Mack, who lives with his
grandparents. When she had
been there a day or so Mack, who
is around six years old, asked
her whether, if he put a question
to her, she would VOW to tell the
truth. She promised him once
and then again before the ques-
ton was forthcoming, and then
he asked: "Are you a country
Jake" She assured him no,
that nobody was more up-and-
coming than his mother. well,
you look like one," he said. AS
soon as she recovered from the
shock she went out on a shop
ping expedition, and when she
was decked out in her new
frock and its new accessories, he
consented to go out for a walk
with her, a concession which
hitherto he had declined to
make.

AN ELECTRICLINE
THIS WAY, MAYBE
Piedmont & Northern Thinks of
Rnute thros.n.k Ch..sssl LI:lI
on Way to Durham
DISPUTE DELAYS PROJECT

1t is possible that the Pied
mont & Northern Railway Co.
will run it's new Charlotte-to-
Durham line through Chapel
Hill.
Until short time ago the plan
had been to route it by Winston
Salem, but there are reports that
obtaining a right-of-way will be
much less difficult if the route
is shifted further to the east.
In that case the rails viii prob
ably be laid through Asheboro,
Franklinville, and Siler City, and
thence north through Chapel
Hill.
AT present the whole project
is uncertain because. of the ar
gument as to whether the COM
pany may build the road under
state authority or must have the
consent of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The P. & N.
finds itself opposed by the South
ern, the Atlantic Coast Line, and
the Seaboard Air Line in its con-
tention that this is not an inter-
state affair. These three COM
panies, which now get practical
ly all the railroad business in
North Carolina, insist that the
new line cannot be constructed
unless the Interstate Commerce
Commission grants a certificate
of public necessity. They fear
"a detection of a part Of their
present patronage if another line
enters the field in piedmont
North Carolina, and they do not
relish that prospect.
The p. & N, which is already
in operation between Charlotte
and Gastonia in this state, and
between Spartanburg and An
derson in South Carolina, is a
Southern Power Company prop
erty, and over its entire extent
the motive power will be cleo
tricity.
Commercial interests in this
state have been disposed to well
come it's extension northward
since this would have the effect,
as a new railroad usually has,
of building up the country and
affording competition in trans
portation service.
If the line should be bufit
through this village, nobody
knows, of course, just what it's
location would be. The sugges-
tion has been that it might come

Paths to the Stadium
Several of Them Cut through the
Woods from the Highway

From the Pittsboro-Pinehurst
highway, and from the South
road along the edge Of the CAM
pus, several paths have been cut
through the woods to the Kenan
stadium.
1t had not been expected that
the work on the approaches
would begin so soon. On one or
two of them the gravel surface
has been laid, and already they
are being used by people who
go to see the progress on the
big excavation.
The designers of the stadium
do not plan to have automobiles
come directly to it. Cars will
be parked at a distance-prob-
ably none nearer that two hun
dred yards awAy-and the spec
tators will come through the
woods on foot.
1t is evident that the construc-
tion of the paths was preceded
by careful surveying, for they
follow the contours of the land
so as to allow easy grades and
so as to permit a crowd to ap-
proach and leave the stadium in
many separate streams. This
will prevent congestion.

for golf, a visit to Duke Univer-

Traffic Light Installation.

Traffic Director William H. Harland
Is preparing to carry out an extensive
addition to Washington's automatic
signal light system. He is now at
work on a plan of light installation
which involves eighteen major prof.
ects in the placing of lights at
strategic positions to give the maxi
mum benefits to the motorists of this
city. The total cost for the thirteen
new streets and five intersections will
be approximately $4,000, which the
District already has on hand for this
purpose.
1t is a source of qualification to
Washingtonians that the traffic office
is ready to give the go signal on
traffic light installation. The entire
pro gram which is now being carried
out was tentatively decided upon by
the old administration, but due to the
unfortunate affair which eliminated

A New Flag Rule.

A new regulation has been written
by the Commissioners regarding the
display of flags on the sidewalk poles
that have been erected recently in the
downtown streets of Washington on
ceremonial occasions. This new rule is
designed to prevent the difficulty that
arose when flags were displayed on
the poles on the Saturday preceding
Independence day. It provides that
these flags may be displayed only on
washington's birthday, Decoration
day, Independence day and Labor day
and such other days as may be desig.
mated for specific occasions. It might
be suggested that Flag day, which is
June IA, should be included in this
category. The new rule authorizes the
superintendent of police to permit the
placing Of the flags on the Saturday
preceding the holiday, with provision
for their continuance until the next
secular day after the holiday. 1t may
he suggested, however, that this does
not go quite far enough. Should not
the display Of the flag be permitted in
the afternoon Of the eve Of holiday
whether the occasion falls on Monday
or not? Otherwise it will be necessary
for those in front of whose establish.
ments the fagpoles stand to have their
stores opened on the holidays solely
for the purpose of getting out the
poles and flags on the morning of
that day.
