New B. & l.. Series
Shares of April lst Announced b,
Orange County Association

The Orange County Building
and Loan Association announc-
es a new series of stock for
April |. 1t is limited to 1000
shares. Subscriptions may be
placed with w. O. Sparrow, sec :
retary of the association, at the
Bank of Chapel Hill
Each share has a face value
of 500, but it may be bought
by an initial fee of Is cents and
Is cents a week thereafter un-
til it natures. The standard
period for maturity is Ga years,
but for several years the earn
ings of the association have been
at a rate high enough to ma
ture the shares at par 3 months
ahead of time-that is, in 6H
years.
The return on shares last year
was 6.88 per cent, and, under
the laws of North Carolina,
building and loan is tax-free.
Paid-up shares, yielding 5 per
cent, are issued, but the pro-
portion of these to the total out
standing stock is limited.
Since it was founded in 1920
the association has made loans
amounting to $4,000 for the
building or improvement of 1873
8homes in and near Chapel Hill.
Only once has foreclosure been
necessary, and in that case the
association has the house which
was bought in and is receiving
from it enough rent to cover the
charge son the loan.

Was James Phillips
q Pirate?

Several descendants of James
Phillips were gathered the other
evening in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Phillips Russell on the east
edge of the Kluttz estate. Mrs.
Lucy Russell and Mrs. Pace rep
resented the third generation
Phillips Russell and Mrs. Clarke
the fourth; and Leon Russell
and Larry Clarke the fifth.
Miss Cornelia Love couldn't be
there because of an engagement
in Burlington.
Il wonder what my grand
father would think of our sit
ting together in his old barn,
Mrs. Lucy Russell remarked to
me afterWard.
For the house in which the
elan gathered was the barn that
was occupied nearly a century
ago by the Phillips horse and
carriage. 1t was on the Samuel
Phillips lot. but the father, who
dWelled next door, shared the
use of it. Mrs. kluttz turned
it into a dwelling last year and
rented it to Phillips Russell.
The presence in the village Of
so many of the descendants of
James Phillips brings to my
mind the legend connected with
this man who played such an
important part in the life of
the University before the Civil
War. The legend was that he
had once been a pirate.
He came to Chapel Hill in
1926 as professor of mathemat-
les. A few years later, after
hearing a celebrated evangelist

MACLEAN SPEAKS
ABOUT TAXES In
NORTH CAROLINA
Distribution of the Burden Is
the Only Sound Solution of
the Problem. He Thinks
THIS MEANS \ SALES TAX

Angus Dhu MacLean, author
of the Mclean act over which
the legislature ragged and roared
for four months last year, spoke
before the North Carolina Club
Monday evening in the base
ment of the library. His topic
was taxation. and he said he did
not see how the state could
raise the money needed for the
schools without a redistribution
of the burden that is, with
out some form of sales tax.
Mr.. MacLean startled the
battle in the legislature, and he
was one of the leading battlers
to the end. But in his physical
appearance there is nothing
belligerent. He is quiet and
soft-voiced, Looking at him
Monday evening, hearing his
even and measured tones. and at
the same time remembering his
Warlike performance of last
year, one was reminded of the
line from Byron, "the mildest
hammered man that ever scuttl-
led ship or cut a throat - or of
Addison's lines about Marlbor-
ough, calm and severe he
drives the furious blast, and,
pleased the Almighty's orders to
perform, rides in the whirlwind
and directs the storm" There
might be some question-with
John Umstead. for instance, and
Fred Bowman, and A. J. Max
we'll whether it was the AL
mighty whose orders MacLean
was carrying out; they would
say, more likely, that it was
Satan; or maybe Josephus
Daniels,-which means about
the same thing as Satan, if you
listen to the the anti-sales-tax
people.
Mr.. MacLean compared the de-
preston of 1893-1896 with the
present one. They were alike,
he said, in that the prices Of
farm products and other COM
modities were low, and pessi-
mism was in about the same
proportion then as now. But
there were certain important
