And SO they were. In every
car which did not bear a new
plate the officers were placing a
little piece of cardboard inform
ing the owner that the law must
be complied with. This was
merely a reminder. An owner
who continues to disregard the
ordinance will be penalized. The
plates sell at 81 each and can be
obtained at the Town Hall.

a furry was caused last week by

it is to be the policy henceforth
not to allow outstanding ac-
counts to grow stale over one
month" This recalls the re-
port of an interrupted dinner
party in Chapel Hill a few years
ago. The University Power
plant had promulgated this same
rule about shutting off the cur
rent in default of payment. The
host and guests of honor at the
dinner were both Important
Personages in the University.
In the midst of the feast the

runs, was that the lights would

Mr.. Bailey has made many ap-

particularly interested in him

that he will enter the Democratic

Simmons. He has made no defi-
mite announcement Of his candi-
dacy, but many of his friends
are confident that he will make
the race.
He was in good repute with
the regular Democratic organi-
cation for several years and was
Internal Revenue Collector for
this district under the Wilson
administration. In 1924 he split
away from the so-called Sim
mons machine and ran against
A. w. Mclean for theDemocratic
nomination for Governor. Last
year, as an ardent supporter of

HIGHWAY TO DUKE
STADIUM WILL BE
DONE BY OCTOBER
Hard Surface Will Be Laid in
Time for the Dedication
Game with Pittsburgh
GRASS ALREADY ON FIELD

The grading of the road from
the new Duke University stad-
ium to the Chapel Hill-Durham
highway Estate highway No. 75)
has been completed, and the state
highway commission is expected
to lay a concrete surface on it
before the end of September.
This is to be an important ap-
proach to the stadium, and the
people at Duke are eager for it
to be open for the traffic for
the University of Pittsburg
game October 5. 1t is then that
the stadium is to be dedicaed.
Travellers between Chapel Hill
and Durham see the new road,
at a point three miles from Dur
ham, leading off through the
woods to the northwest. About
three miles in length, it is part
of the six-mile cutoff that will
pass through the grounds Of
Duke University and connect
with the central highway (No.
I0) at the Durham Orange
county line. All the structures
are complete except the bridge
over the railroad near where the
road will join No. 10. The wes-
tern half of the six-mile stretch
that is, the half toward No. 10
will probably not be hard
surfaced thoroughfares giving
access to Duke University: one
from the west, by way of No. 10;
one from the south by way of
No. rs from Chapel Hill, and one
from the city of Durham.
The concrete for the walls of
the new stadium, and for more
than two thirds of the seats,
has been poured. There is al
ready a good stand of grass on
the playing field. The founda-
tions for the field house are
about to be laid.
