"In the first place, before I start
ed taking Miller's Herb Extract
formerly known as Herb juice, I
saw that it was highly recommend
ed for such ills as I had. I learned
from others that it was a good
medicine to keep in the house. I
read many gratifying statements In
the papers telling of the wonders
it had done for people in poor
health. This gave me hope and
encouragement. I started taking it

to the airport north of the village
one afternoon during the holi-
days.
They were standing on the
field looking up at the two or
three planes overhead when Mr..
Walker saw one Of them, the
new Monocoupe, coming down
toward him. 1t tcame on and on,
and lower and lower, and at
last it looked to the educator as
if it We're going to strike him.
He ran to one side to get out of
its way, gave a long leap, and
landed in a mud hole. Mr.. Bran
son had begun his retreat
earlier and so receded from
danger at a more dignified pace.
The pilot of the Monocoupe
shifted his rudder when he was
yet several yards from the two
professors, and the plane passed
over them by a margin of many
feet.

How Much Will the Legislature
Appropriate for the University?

The North Carolina legislature
has opened its biennial session,
and people in Chapel Hill are
again deeply interested in the
question that recurs every sec
'ond January: How much will be
appropriated for the University ?
At every legislative session
there is much complaint about
the burden of taxation, and the
consequent need of retrench-
ment, but the emphasis upon
this phase of state government
seems to be rather heavier than
usual this year. 1t is not ex-
pected that the pressure for
economy will cause any redue-
ton in the Uhiversity's main
tenance fund, but there is some
fear that the urgently needed
increase in the fund may be
pared down.
The budget presented to the
state advisory budget commits
sion last fall called for 81, ,463, 900
for maintenance for the next
fiscal year Q929-193O). The
appropriation for the present
fiscal year was $880,000.
The amount requested as a
building fund, for the two years
July l, 1929, to June 80, 1881,
is $1,825, 900. One of the i'm
portant projects the University
has in view is the creation of a
complete school of education.

SANDY GRAHAM IS
ELECTED SPEAKER
Orange COunty's Representative
Wins Honor in Legislature
Without Opposition
GRADUATED HERE IN 1912

Alexander Hawkins Graham
Of HillsbOro, known far and
wide as Sandy Graham, was
elected speaker of the North
Carolina house of representa-
tives at the opening session We'd
nesday. There was no opposi-
ton. The Republican minority

father, William Alexander Gra-
ham, was United States senator
from 1840 to 1843, governor of
North Carolina from 1845 to
1849, secretary of the navy from
1850 to 1853, and Wing nominee

States in 1852. His father,
John w. Graham, who died last
year, was prominent in the
public life of the state and was
a University trustee for more
than forty years.
The present speaker is SO
years old. After his graduation
from the University in 1921 he
attended the Harvard law
school for one year, and then
settled down to the practice of
law in Hillsboro, his own birth
place and the home of his ances-
tors. When America entered the
world war he went to the Of
ficers' training camp at Fort
Oglethorpe and there won a
commission as second lieutenant.
Assigned to the 324th Infantry
in the 81st Division, he won two
promotions and left the military
service a captain.

New Apartments Ready
Twin Buildings on McCaulley Street
Are Open for Inspection

j. w. Foister, agent for the
new Graham Court apartments
on McCauley street, announces
that they will be ready for oc-
cupancy next Thursday, January
II. They are already open for
inspection upon application to
Mr.. Foister.
The two twin buildings, con-
tanning "a apartments, were put
under construction last summer.
and they have aroused much
interest in the village. The
owner is w. S. Sampson of
Richmond, Virginia. He has
apartment houses in Richmond,
Greensboro, Durham, and other
cities.
Each apartment contains
five rooms and bath and is fitted
with modern conveniences.

Another item in the building
budget is a gymnasium.
The aggregate of the appro-
priations for permanent i'm
provements voted by the last
four egislatures-1921, 1928,
1925, and 1927-was S5,070,0OO.
This fund was used for the con-
struction of eight dormitories,
the law and chemistry build
ings, and three classroom build
ings, the library, the laundry,
the power house; for the recon-
struction of several of the old
buildings; for equipment; and
for roads and other campus i'm
provernents.
The amount of the mainten-
ance and the building appropria-
tons is a matter of contern not
only to the institution itself but
also to the whole Chapel Hill
community. For the prosperity
of the village is directly depend
ent upon the support given by
the state to the University. The
University expansion of the
last seven years has been ac-
companied by an expansion of
building activities and mercan-
tile and other business in the
village. Taxable values have
mounted, and this has enabled
the municipal authorities to
make improvements in the
streets and in the police, fire,
and health services.

w. S. Bernard Injured
Knocked Unconscious by Car, and
Suffers Fracture of Leg

w. S. Bernard was knocked
down by a car as he was walk
ing across the main street in
front of the IN" store a little
while after supper on Christmas
Eve. The blow Of his head
against the pavement rendered
him unconscious; and |. b.
Rush and others who saw the
accident, and ran to him and
lifted him up, thought at first
that he had been killed.
The cut on the top of his head,
which was dressed by DR.. Hemp
hill, turned out, however, to be
less serious than the injury to
his right leg. The knee was
bruised and a bone was broken
just below the knee. The leg
had to be put in a plaster cast.
After three or four days in bed,
he was able to walk about with
the aid of crutches.
The car which struck him was
not going rapidly, and the
driver, who had been blinded by
the headlights of another car,
stopped almost instantaneously.

As to Signs

The board of adjustment had
to pass last Friday night on the
question of whether advertising
signs should be allowed on the
former Berman store (known
to old-timers as the Robertson
store), now occupied by G. H.
Ray, at the corner of Franklin
and Columbia streets. The board
had already forbidden the use of
the west and south walls for
signs but had sanctioned small
er signs on the wall and on the
vacant lot to the east. At that
time the Carolina Theatre had
the posting concession, but later
it was acquired from the own
er of the store by the Audi
torium in Durham. The conten-
tion of f. c. Smith, manager of
the Carolina, was that the board
had pronounced against any
new signs and that, since he had
to discontinue, no other theatre
should be allowed to put one up.
The board decided against this
contention. 1t held that Mallory
Hackney, of the Auditorium,
should be permitted to have the
same privilege which had
hitherto been conceded to Mr..
Smith.
/ was not in accord with the
majority opinion on this point,
because l thought that the pre-
vious permit had been given on
the assumption that its abroga-
ton would inflict an undue hard
ship upon a concern which had
rented the posting space before
the anti-sign ordinance was
adopted and had since been
using it continuously.
After the vote Of the board
was recorded | made a motion
that after April /, 1929, all
signs in violation of the strict
letter of the ordinance should
be taken down and that there
after none should be put up.
There was no second to this mo-
ton, and so it was lost.

am in hearty agreement, against
the word Xmas. A person of
my acquaintance in a distant
city sought to send Christmas
greetings by telegraph, and
when they arrived at their des-
tination they had been changed
to Xmas greetings. My friend
Charles w. Tillett, Jr., of Char
lotte, is in the village for this
weekend. He is an attorney
for the Western Union, and |
am going to ask him what sort
of defense he would put up for
this crime. If | were the Judge
and the complaint. came up be-
fore me, | would inflict upon the
company such a fine as would
make the board of directors
shudder whenever they saw the
letter X.
