Increase in Postage Rate Will
Go into Effect Next Wednesday

were ordered to follow, for a few
weeks, after the increase in the
rate for letters addressed to
Canada
1t is expected that a consid-
cradle number of people will for
get about the higher rate and
will affix 2-cent stamps to their
letters until they have become
accustomed to the change. The
post-office department foresees
this and will try to reduce to a
minimum the inconvenience and
the delay resulting from such
forgetfulness.
On the other hand, there are
some people who anticipate the
day when the Scent rate takes
affect and who pay the higher
fee before they are required to.
This is because they have been
reading newspaper articles
about the new revenue law and
have neglected to keep the date,
July 6, in mind. "Tve had lot
of 'em come here and ask for
Scent stamps to put on letters
they are about to mall said w.
S. Hogan, at the stamp window,
yesterday, land they've been
surprised when I've told them
that there are severa. more days
of 2-cent postage"
Letters that are slipped into
the slot in the post-otfice lobby
before 8 o'clock next Tuesday
night, the 5th, need only 2-cent
stamps, because they are run
through the cancelling machine
that night and are postmarked
July 5. But anybody who mails
a letter in the box on the street,
after the post-office doors are
closed at 8 o'clock, must put on
Scent stamp; for such a letter
is despatched the next morning
and is postmarked July 6.

Protecting Watershed
Authorities Warn Boys and Others
Against Swimming in Creek

Boys among them sons of
members of the University fac
ulty, have been found swimming
in Morgan creek just above
where it feeds into the Univer-
sity's new reservoir.
This is forbidden, and all who
may have thought of going into
the creek are warned not to do
So 1t is against the state law
to enter a stream within a COM
munity watershed, to thrown
anything into it, or even to 60
within a 100 feet of it.
1--WE do not put any great
blame upon these boys" said J.
S. Bennett, superintendent of
the University's electric and
water department, yesterday.
"They were merely ignorant of
the law. We told them not to
go into the creek again, and we
have posted notices around the
reservoir and in the creek val
ley, to let people know that they
must not trespass upon the
watershed. We do not expect to
have any trouble after the pub.

Spirited Campaign of Morrison and Reynolds
Leaves State Guessing on Result of Primary

The last weeks spirited cam
paignlng of Cameron Morrison
and Robert r. Reynolds has re-
moved none of the uncertainty
as to the result of tomorrow's
contest for the Democratic nomi-
lation for Unite& States Senator.
The struggle has the whole state
guessing.
Reynolds says he expects to
win by from 10000 to $4,000
votes, and Morrison expresses
confidence that the Democrats
of North Carolina will rally to
his support and give him a SUBJ
stantial majority.
One who reads the speeches
of the candidates and the news
reports of their meetings, and
who hears the talk of persons
who travel through the state,
cannot fail to sense that the
Reynolds forces are the more
aggressive and hopeful. They
display buoyancy and cheerful

Hobbs Family Sees
Turtle Bury 5 Eggs
Interesting Performance Is Given on a
Lawn in GlandOn Forest

When Mr.. and Mrs. r. J. M.
Hobbs and their children were
out in their yard, in Glandon
Forest, one day this week, they
saw a turtle appear from under
a bush and proceed slowly across
sunny stretch of lawn.
The turtle stopped. She
showed a foot backward and
scraped the ground vigorously.
The spectators did not at first
know what this meant, but in a
moment they learned. The
scraping produced a hole about
an inch deep, and an egg dropped
into it. Now bringing another
hindfoot into play, the turtle
covered the egg with the dirt
she had displaced, and patted it
down smooth.
She moved on, an inch or so,
and repeated the operation. In
the space of a few minutes the
Hobbs family, resolutely noise
less, saw five eggs deposited in
holes, in a straight line, and
neatly covered. And then they
saw the turtle resume her march
across the lawn and disappear
into the hedge.
Stones have been placed in a
circle around the line of nests,
to mark the place and to protect
the eggs. The problem now is
to restrain the eagerness Of the
Hobbs boys and other children
of the neighborhood; they are
impatient for the Matching, and
they seem disposed to explore
and make sure whether or not
the eggs are still there.

ness, while the Morrison forces
give, Enthusiastically, the impress
sion of being on the defensive.
This is partly explained, of
course, by the fact that Reynolds
led in the first primary by $4,000
votes; the record of the June
4th vote makes it look like an
uphill fight for Morrison.
"It's about the hardest propo-
sition | ever encountered" said
Morrison in Dunn last Monday
evening after he had spoken Of

-Ehriin8haus

There is not a chance in a
hundred that Ehringhaus will
be defeated if the Democrats
who prefer him as the party 5
candidate for Governor will go
to the polls and vote for him to-
morrow. He led Fountain by
about $4,000 votes in the first
primary, and he was undoubt-
edly the second choice of a big
majority of the people who vot-
ed for Maxwell.
The only danger to Ehring-
haus lies in the disposition of
his supporters to take his vic
tory for granted and hence to
neglect to vote. Many of them
may say to themselves, careless
ly: "Oh, well why bother about
the second primary? The things
already in the bag and sewed
up" If a large enough number
of his supporters should assume
that attitude of over-confdence,
it might beat him.
SO, we give this word to all
Democrats who are for Ehring-
haus: Be sure to vote tomorrow.

WATER HERE NOT
CAUSING TYPHOID,
SAYS ABERNETHY
Experts Find Supply Not Pol
luted; Cases in the Village
Originated Elsewhere
HUNDREDS TAKE VACCINE

The uneasiness that spread
through the village, after it be-
came known last Saturday that
several new cases of typhoid
had been reported, has been
Gained by the announcement
from the health authorities that
only one more case has devel-
oped since then and by the re-
neWed declaration of sanitary
experts that the community S
water supply is not polluted.
The uneasiness did not reach
the stage of panic, or even of
alarm, but it was sufficient to
cause a great increase in the
number of citizens going to the
public clinic and to the Infirm-
ary to take the protective vac
cipe treatment. The clinic has
been held at the school on We'd
nesdays, but every day men,
women, and children have pre-
sented themselves at the Inirm-
ary to bare their arms to the
needle.
DR.. S. A. Nathan, the munici-
pal health officer, says that
about 600 persons received the
treatment at the clinic day be-
fore yesterday.
"At first we expected to have
all vaccinating done at the elm
lc," he says, 'but one period Of
a few hours a week was not
enough, and anybody who comes
to the 1nfrmary, on any day, re-
ceives the treatment. There has
been such a splendid response to
our appeal that a large proper
ton of the people of Chapel Hill
have been immunized against
typhoid"
The following statement has
been issued by DR.. Eric A. Alb
ernethy, chairman of the town
board of health:
DR.. Abernethy's Statement
Seven cases of typhoid fever
are under treatment in the COM
munity. This is the largest num-
Der of cases reported here at
one time during the past ten

REHEARSING FOR
THE GREEK PLAY
IN THE STADIUM
Chorus in Bathing Suits for
Drill; They'll Wear Flowing
Robes July IL and IL
HOLMES TO BE HERCULES

Anybody who happens to
stroll into the kenan stadium
late one of these afternoons is
apt to see about a score Of
young women, clad in bathing
suits. weaving dance figures on
the turf and occasionally lift
ing their voices in song. Miss
Phoebe Barr is guiding their
movements, perhaps Frederick
H. Koch, putting his pipe, is
standing by as a spectator.
Except for Mrs. Murchison
and Mrs. Mckinney, all these
women are Summer School stu
dents, and they are rehearsing
as the chorus of "Alcestis," the
drama by Euripides which is to
be presented Monday and Tues
day evenings. July IL and II.
The bathing suits are merely
for convenience and comfort in
hot weather. At the public per-
formance the members of the
chorus will wear flowing Grecian
costumes-white, with borders
of gay colors.
At the end of next week the
facade of the Admetus of
Pherae, in Thessaly, will be set
up in the stadium, facing the
concrete seats, and will form
background for the action of the
play. The facade was designed
by Miss Mary Dirnberger, and
she has painted upon it a frieze
according to the authentic
Greek model. The Kings pal
ace, classic and stately, will be
bathed in the glow of deftly ar
ranged flood-lights.
Harry Davis is the director,
and Mrs. Harry Davis, assisted
by some of the women in the
village, is the designer and the
maker of the costumes for the
actors and the chorus.
Urban T. Holmes, in a lion
skin, will play the part of Her
cules. Mr.. Koch will appear as
Thanatos (Death), and Miss
Margaret Maby of Louisburg
College as Alcestis. The music,
with Mrs. Fred Mccall as super
visor, will come from a piano,
a flute, and a clarinet.
The price Of admission will
be so cents, but there will be a
few rows of reserved seats at
81. Tickets. will be on sale at
the Alfred Williams store.
