pany in Raleigh

c. f. Graham resigned this
week from his position as chief
electrician for the University
Consolidated Service Plants and
took a position with the North
State Electric Company of
Raleigh. This concern is the

products: ranges, motors, gen
orators, fans and various other
kinds of electrical equipment
and cnntraptinns.
He will be the North States

lation projects, in demonstra-
tions, and occasionally in selling
campaigns such as the one
recently conducted here with
electric cooking ranges.
For a while he will continue
to have his home here in Chapel
Hill. He may move later on
but is not making any definite
plan about that.
Mr.. Graham came here several
years ago from the Aluminium
Company Of America in Badin.

modating nature, and his agree
able manners he won a high
place in the esteem of the people
of Chapel Hill.
He is a musician, and for a
year or so during his stay here
he conducted an orchestra.

boulders, flagstones, and a vast
assortment of plants into her
sedan-all for Miss Sudie
Creech's garden.
One of the most pleasing ami
NAL scenes | have witnessed in
a long time was presented to me
when l went home late day be-
fore yesterday afternoon. In
his garden Vernon Howell had
a hose in his hands and was play
ing a stream of water into the
air, and DR.. Mangum's hand
some police dog, Nancy, was
leaping up into it. The spray

fection. was fascinated by the
show and stood and looked at 1t

Wrens Hatched out a Family of
Five in Law Professors Office

The two wrens who had built
their nest in M. S. Brecken-
ridges office in Manning hall
flew away and left him Monday.
And they took with them the
five young ones they had hatched
out on the top shelf of the book
case.
Their nest-building and laying
and Matching and feeding in his
office was not a new experience
to the law professor. A pair
of wrens-perhaps the same pair
did exactly the same thing
last year, in exactly the same
place among the books. In fact,
this spring he was looking for
them to come, and he was not
surprised when, early in March
a female wren came and stood
in his window and looked about
the room. When she had given
it a thorough inspection she de-
parted.
About two weeks later--to be
exact, on the 18th of March,
Mr.. Breckenridge found the
wrens at work building their
nest upon pile of pamphlets
He had left the space ready for
them, and now he gave orders to

the janitor that the window
should never be closed, day or
night; it must always be open
far enough to let the birds pass
in and out.
They built their nest day by
day. Five eggs were laid. On
the 14th of April Mr.. Brecken-
ridge saw the young wrens be-
ing fed by their parents. In the
beginning the menu consisted of
small, soft slugs and worms
nothing large or hard, Then
crickets and spiders were
brought, and then, as the little
wrens grew larger, big white
grubs,
In his calendar notebook Mr..
Breckenridge kept a log of the
wrens. He set down the date
when they brought their first
twig for the nest, when the first
egg was laid, when the feeding
began, and so on. His final entry
was made Monday: "All the
wrens flew away today He
hopes the couple will raise new
family in his office next year

be awaiting them.

FLORIDA LIMITED
HELD Is MINUTES
FOR REDDY MIKE
SeabOard Flyer Waits because
Cocker Spaniel Was Put on
Wrong Train in New York
REUNION IN WASHINGTON

The Seaboard Air Lines new
est crack train, the Florida
Limited, was held Is minutes at
Washington last Saturday night
because of Reddy, Miss Elizabeth
McKie's cocker spaniel.
Miss McKie, now in Chapel
Hill on a visit to her father,
George McKie, motored down
from her school in Connecticut
Saturday afternoon to take the
train in New York. In the Penn
sylvania terminal there she
checked Reddy at the baggage
room. A few minutes later,
when she was about to board her
Pullman, she decided to walk
forward to the baggage car and
make sure her dog was there.
He was not there. The train
was just about to pull out The
conductors and porters were
standing at the steps of the cars,
shouting "All aboard" AMI
yestibule doors were being Slam
med to. Miss McKie, shocked
though she was at not findine
Reddy among those present. did
not suffer even moment from
Ilndecision: she knew she was not
going on south without her pet.
So she hurried two porters into
her Pullman car, had her bags
fetched out, and let the train
leave without her.
Then followed inquiries at the
baggage room, at the informa-
tion bureau, and all around the
station. The august station
master, in all his gold braid and
dignity, was called into con-
ference, And the investigation
brought out the fact that Reddy
had been put on another train
bound south.
We'll telegraph ahead, Miss"
said the station master, "and
ask 'em to have the Seaboard
train held at Washington. You
can leave here on the 7:10, and
they'll meet you with your dog
and put you both on the Sea-
board there" For this is the
era of please-the-public, and the
great corporations have their
employees trained in courtesy
and helpfulness.
The he station station master mast had had
drawing room on the 7:10 put at
Miss McKie's disposal. And
about five and a half hours
later, when she got off at
Washington, she saw three or
four railway officials coming
toward her, and tucked under
the arm of one of them was her
darling Reddy. He yelped with
delight at sight of her.
The Pullman conductor of the
Limited came up to the group
and looked at the tiny dog.
"Is that what we held this
train fifteen minutes forp he
exclaimed; but his tones were
kindly, and he helped in getting
his two new passengers settled
comfortably on the train.
From then on the trip of Miss
McKie and her spaniel was un-
eventful, and they arrived in
Chapel Hill early Sunday morn
ing.

EDITORIAL NOTE: 1t seems to
US that there could hardly be d
more stupid law than this one
which permits a man to run for
office without the giving Of Of any ssif5y
advance notice of his candi-
dacy. Consider the case here in
Chapel Hill, for example. Four
men in whom the village has con-
fidence have been renominated
for the offices they now hold.
No opposition to them has been
declared, and the natural ten
dency of the citizens is to con-
slider the matter closed - to put
it out of their minds and stay
away from he polls. But on the
morning of election day, or even
when the day is well advanced,
another group of men may sud-
denly appear as candidates.
Three or four dozen of their ad-
herents, among whom the word
has been passed around, may
come to the polls and defeat the
will of hundreds who have been
lulled into inactivity because
they think there is no contest.
We have no reason to suppose
that any such thing will happen
next Tuesday. But it is a pos
sibility. Hence it behooves
every voter who wants Messrs.
Council, Braune, Eubanks, and
Hogan reelected to go to the
polls and vote for them.

mits Late Corners
TUESDAY is ELECTION DAY

Chapel Hill will have its
municipal election next Tuesday,
May 7. The polls will be open
at the school building from sun
rise to sunset. Rev. Howard
will be the poll-holder and
Moody Durham and T. E. Best
will be the judges of the election.
AS this issue of the Weekly
goes to press, there are no new
candidates in the field. Zeb P.
Council has been renominated
for mayor, and G: M. Braune,
Clyde Eubanks, and M. Z.
Hogan have been renominated
for the board of aldermen. I'm
der the law the mayor must be
chosen every two years, but the
term of an alderman Is four
years, three of the six places on
the board being filled every
second year. The three men,
bers whose terms have two years
yet to run are Brodie S. Thomp-
son, p. L. Burch, and r. ID. w.
COnnor.
The fact that there are today
no other candidates than the
present incumbents does not
mean, necessarily, that there
will not be others on election day.
The law says that, in order for
a candidates name to go on the
official ballot, it must be filed
with the town clerk at least five
days before the election; but
any qualified voter, if he has
his own ballot printed, may be
a candidate without giving ad-
vance notice.
Any citizen of Chapel Hill
who has registered for a pre-
vious election local, state, or
national, is qualified to vote
Tuesday. The registration last

owing to the keen interest in the
national contest, and so, count
ing out recent arrivals in the.
village, there are not many per-
sons here who are not qualified
to vote.

rs THE RIGHT THING 70 DO

Washington. Dec. 12.-(P)-Under
Secretary Mills said today insufficient
funds would prevent the treasury
from approving the suggestion by
Senator Couzens, Republican. Mich
igan. for . reduction from l2is to
10 per cent In the capital gain tax Al
though he. Mills. thought such . re-
duction would be tho right thing to
do"
The under secretary asserted that
Ut present sufficient income to en-
able such . reduction was not In
sight.
Mills indicated the treasury felt It
had gone the limit In recommending
Q one per cent cut In individual and
corporation income taxes for the cal
endar year 1870.
Autherised Reduction
A resolution to authorize this re-
ducti0n already has been passed by
the house. approved by the senate
finance committee and placed on the
senate calendar for action.
In proposing this cut the treasury
estimated there would be surplus
of t225. .O00, 900 this year and $l22, ,000,-
600 for the 1891 fiscal year.
The CouDons proposal. Mills said,
would not become effective until the
1891 year and with only 4l22. 600 900
surplus In sight such . reduction
would Be inopportune.
III We had the money II would be
the right thing TO do" Mills said. II
am In sympathy with the prcposal
but there Is not enough income In
sisht to warrant it now"
Net Ont OF Proportiea
The under er-secrctary also said he
did believe the income tax paid BY
corporations was out Of proportion
to that paid by individuals IS under
the proposed cut for 1870 individuals
would pay from u TO 4 per
cent on normal income while corpor.
ations would pay II per cent.
Secretary Mellon In his annual re-
port to congress took the same atti-
tude and called attention to the Diff
ference In the income tax rate paid
BY corporations and BY individuals.
II do think there should be some
thing done to equalise the income tax
paid BY individuals and corporations. :"
Mills said. 1T Will require coglsider-
able study, however, to arrive at the
correct solution"
