RECEIVERS MAY
APPLY TOCOURT
FOR NEW ORDER
Possibly Holders of Mortgages
Will Not Get Amount of
Claims in Full
OFFERS NOT HIGH ENOUGH

The receivers of the Chapel
Hill Insurance and Realty Com
pany may decide to ask the court
for authority to sell the COM
pany's real estate for less than
the amount of the mortgages
now held against it.
Under the terms of the order
now in effect, the holder of a
mortgage would be entitled to
object if the encumbered proper
ty were sold for less than enough
to square his claim. The auction
last month brought out offers
considerably better than those
made at the auction last spring,
but still they are not high enough
to cover the mortgages.
The receivers do not want the
bankruptcy proceedings to drag
on interminably. They incline
to the view that the time has
come when there should be a
final liquidation of the affairs
of the company.
They have already asked for
an extension of time to present
to the court their report upon
the last auction sale. Probably
it will be presented late this
month or early next month.
Meanwhile several of the bids
made at the public sale have
been raised.
Although the court order
establishing the receiver pro-
vides that no bid is binding until
approved by the court, which
means that the highest bidder
at a public auction acquires no
right to a deed, there seems to
be some question as to the vail
dity of these raised bids"
handed in after the auction. ut
has been suggested that, when a
raised bid" is made, it should
be duly advertised so that the
public may have another chance
to bid. The receivers and their
attorneys are puzzling over this.

OILrSURFACING OF
STREETS PUT OFF
TIL, I'LL, NEXT SPRING
Gravel Is Not Now in Proper
Condition to Have New
Surface Applied
a TROUBLESOME PROBLEM

1t was recently proposed that
some of the streets in Chapel
Hill be oil-surfaced, but the
town authorities have decided
that no work of this kind will be
undertaken until. next spring.
Residents along Cameron avenue
and Pittsboro and Vance streets
petitioned for the improvement,
but the gravel was found to be
worn down so thin. that it did
not afford a proper base for a
new surface. Six months hence
these three thoroughfares will be
reconditioned so that oil may be
laid upon them.
Many citizens of the village
have come to the conclusion that
an oil surface, similar to that on
the road from here to Hillsboro,
is the only solution of the trou-
blesome street problem. 1t
seems hopeless task to try to
keep the streets in decent shape
with gravel. Every hard rain
wreaks a destruction which not
only interferes with traffic but
also subjects the municipality to
heavy expenditures for main
tenance.
Asphalt or concrete is thought
to be too costly. Oil-surfacing
is far cheaper, and calculations
made by the town manager in
dicate that the saving it effects
in maintenance will offset the
interest and sinking fund in
stallments on the bonds required
for the improvement. Part of
the cost, of course, will fall upon
property owners in the form of
assessments. The law is that if
half the total frontage, petition
the aldermen for a new type of
street surface, the aldermen may
have the improvement made and
then divide the cost on the basis
of half on the property and half
on the town.

V. P. |. Tomorrow
Carolina to Meet Virginians Here in
the Kenan Stadium

The football teams of the Uni
versity of North Carolina and
the Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute will meet here in the Kenan
stadium tomorrow Saturday
afternoon. These two institu-
tions are old-time competitors
but have not met in recent years.
Of the 19 matches they played,
from 1896 to 1918, V. P. |. won
II, Carolina 3, and were ties.
Four Southern football teams
went to the North last week.
Harvard beat the University of
North Carolina 20 to O; Boston
University beat Duke 10 to O.;
Yale beat Georgia Fl to 6; and
Virginia and Princeton played
to a scoreless tie. The relative
showing of Carolina and Vlr-
ginia is always of deep interest
here, and from last Saturdays
performances it would seem that
the Cavaliers have the edge on
the Tar Heels. However, the
Carolina followers do not seem
discouraged. Harvard made all
it's points in the second quarter.
Carolina displayed strength at
critical times, but its passing
game was not successful.
There is not much upon which
to base a forecast of the outcome
tomorrow, since the teams have
not met the same opponents.
v. P. /. is reported to have a fast
eleven.

Red-Heads. Have a Club
Mr.. Meyer Gives History of Flame
Crested Men and Women

The red-headed students in
the University have organized
a club called the Red-Heads.
H. D. Meyer, professor in the

has one of the most flaming
crests in the village, has been
elected Patron and was the guest
of honor at the first meeting the
other night.

ter fraternities have what they
call a period of silence at the end
of their rushing" season. What
| would like to see is a period of
silence for cheer leaders; and
| suggest that it last from Janu-
ary l to December 81 every
year.
One day last week H. A. Whit
field, observing that l had on a
Palm Beach suit, accused me of
being out of season. The wealth
er was warm-just as warm
as it is on many a day in June or
July. Mr.. Whitfield had on a
wool suit-and not the lightest
wool at that. And he wore a
waistcoat. l asked him if he
didn't find this costume uncom-
Portable, and he confessed he
did. Why should people regulate
their clothing by what they read
on a calendar?. Through most of
the first half of this month of
October we had real summer
temperatures, and ! dressed ac-
cordingly. AS l write this, on
Wednesday the 17th, l have on
white duck trousers and they
are not a bit too light. If it
turns cool tomorrow I'll substi-
tute wool. Why not be as CON-
Portable as possible?
Most of us pay no attention to
the migrations of birds. They
fly overhead-we may see them
or we may not-and they look
ali alike. But the village has
some citizens who are real bird
enthusiasts. One is Mr.. Breck-
enridge of the law school facul-
ty; another is young Edmund
Taylor. Mr.. Breckenridge OBJ
served this week that the red
start, the myrtle warbler, and
the cedar waxwing were already
going through toward the south.
/ think l will try to persuade
him to give me weekly bulletins
about these migrations; l can't
be my own reporter on this SUBJ
ject, because am too ignorant
of it.

Republicans Make a Drive on
North Carolina

Charles Curtis of Kansas, Re-
publican candidate for Vice
President, spoke in Raleigh
Tuesday night. Senator VIII
liam E. Borah spoke in Char
lotte Wednesday night. Sena-
tor Robert L. Owen of Okla
homa, recently a Democrat but
now allied with the Republicans,
spoke in Raleigh last night. Yes
terday's Ne1Os and Observer
carried a despatch from Char
lotte headed "Californians to
Canvass. State" which told of
the coming invasion of this
state, in behalf of the Republi-
can cause, by Judge Nathan
Newby and Judge Benjamin B.
Bledsoe, described as "Califor-
MIA Democrats" Evangelist
Mordecai F. Ham, Bishop James
M. Cannon, and Frank r. Nc
Ninch are touring the state a.
gainst the Democratic candi-
dates. Anti-Smith organizations
are putting large advertisements
in the newspapers.
1t is plain that the Republi-
cans have decided to make a
concentrated drive on North
Carolina in these last days Of
the campaign. 1t is in this state
that they see, or think they see,
their best chance to break the
Solid South.
The growing industrialism Of
the state, tending to create a
friendliness toward Republican
economic policies, and the abb
sorption into our population of
citizens of other states who are
unaffected by Democratic tradi-
tion-these are conditions which
encourage Republican hopes.
But the Republican conditions
alone would not enable them to
upset the great normal Demo-
cratic majority. What they are
counting upon, to effect the
over-turn, is the passion aroused
against Smith in the rank and
file of the Democratic party--a
passion aroused by the appeal to
religious and and by EE1Iaiissffep
resentation of Smiths character
and record.
Of course the respectable men
and women who support Hoover
deplore religious prejudice. 1t
is not their own motive, and
they do not give it countenance.
But the astute campaign man.
ayers know that in the wide
spread existence of such preju-
dice lies the Republican hope of
victory in North Carolina.
If the Democrats who are al
lowing themselves to be turned
against Smith will reflect upon
the history of Republican rule in
this state, and upon the atti-
tude of the Republican party
toward the South, they should
realize that, when they play the
game of Curtis and Borah and
Simmons and McNinch, they
playing with fire. If the South
deserts the Democratic party of
the nation, where will it turn
for help when it needs help in
Washington?
North Carolina has made re-
markable progress since the
overthrow of the Republican
Populist regime in the nineties,
and this progress has been due
in no small degree to continue

Gus Democratic control. Some
Hoover supporter may say: But
that is the state Democracy.
We are with you on that. What
we are talking about now is the
national ticket. To oppose the
Democratic national ticket
won't affect control in the
state" Wrong. The ability of
the Democrats to function eff
fectively in the state depends
upon their not being subjected
to interference from Washing
ton. And freedom from such
interference can be assured on
!, ly by the solidarity of the ma
tional party. AS late as 1890
Henry Cabot Lodge was seek
ing to pass the Force Bill' un-
der which elections in the South
would be supervised by the Fed
eral government. What be-
comes of your state control if
such an act is put through Con-
gress? And all that has kept
it from being put through has
been the support of the South
by Northern Democrats.
For thirty-five years." writes
Robert Latham in the Asheville
Citizen. "the craftsmanship of
the South was devoted in large
measure to winning political Sc
curity," and he quotes Judge
Evins of Alabama as declaring
that no Southerner ought to be
unmindful now of the aid which
New York Democrats gave the
South and which the South so
gladly welcomed. Abram S.
Hewitt, member of Congress
from New York and a member
of Tammany Hall, was the man
responsible for the removal of
Federal soldiers stationed in the
South, which removal he caused
by blocking an appropriation for
their maintenance. And Lodges
Force Bill" would probably
have passed had it not been for
the votes of Northern Demo-
Gratis. Judge Evins has net
forgotten and the South as a
whole cannot afford to forget, :"
says Mr.. Latham, chat in time
of stress it has always been to
the Democrats of the North and
East that we have been able to
look for support. Can we now
afford to break that alliance :?
he asks. Are we any more
able now of our own strength
to defeat this sort of legislation
than we have been in the past +?
Have we any less need of friends
than we have had in the past? ?
Clearly not. If we repudiate our
friends in the North and East,
if we fight the candidate whom
these ancient and loyal friends
of ours have nominated, if we
estrange them and declare them
to be unfit for us to associate
with politically, with what grace
or, if we had the effrontery to
do so, with what hope of success
could we ask their aid when the
next assault is made upon us?"
This is something for the
Democrats of North Carolina to
ponder about. Are they going
to permit themselves to be de-
ceived by smooth-tongued Re-
publican campaigners, by the
falsehoods of Anti-Smith propa-
ganda, by the ranting of timer
ant ecclesiastical blatherskites I?
