Chapel Hill Chaf

Mrs. Cornelia Robertson, who
is SO years old, went down to
Raleigh last Saturday, and when
they were driving down Fay
etteville street she remarked to
one of her companions in the
automobile: "This is the first
time | have been in Raleigh
since 1865"
Mrs. Robertson came to Chap
el Hill first in 1855, when she
was 9 years old. She was then
Cornelia Stone. A few months
before the Civil War began she
entered a school in Oxford, and
she was student there for five
years.
ut took whole day for me
to get from here to the school in
Oxford" Mrs. Robertson was
telling me day before yesterday.
Sometimes | would go the whole
way in a buggy or a carriage,
but sometimes | would drive
over to Durham, take a train to
Raleigh, change there to train
to Henderson, and drive from
Henderson to Oxford. That was
how | happened to see Raleigh
now and then"
Toward the end of the war the
Stones moved back to their farm
out on the Haw River, near the
OrangeChatham county line.
About ten years after her mar
riage, when the University re-
opened in 1875, Mrs. Robertson
returned to Chapel Hill, and she
has lived here ever since.
"We were on the farm when
Sherman's army marched up
from the east" she told me, "and

'POssum RObs Kittens
Invades Lear Porch and Eats Food
Laid out for the Pets

Mrs. J. M. Lear went out on
her back porch about 10 o'clock
one night recently to take some
food to her kittens. When she
had put the plate of scraps on
the floor and seen her pets start
upon their meal, she was called
to the telephone.
The porch is in sight of the
telephone, and presently Mrs.
Lear saw a 'possum creep across
the floor to the plate. 1t pro-
ceeded to devour the scraps
while the kittens backed away
and looked on. Mrs. Lear called
to her husband, and they came
close to the door and joined the
xittens as spectators. The intrud-
err, not disturbed at all, continued
it's feast.
When the last piece of bread
was about to disappear, Mr..
Lear stepped out upon the
porch, grabbed the 'possum by
it's tail, swung it around two or
three times, and then released
it. The 'possum ran off into the
darkness.

Janet Green's Yells Draw Crowd
Around Car in Little Rock, and
Policeman Tonsue-Lashes Fieeatt

A sedan from Chapel Hill
stood against the curb in front
CT a hotel in Little Rock, Ar
kansas, at noon on a hot Septem-
Der day. It's only occupant was
a baby in a hanging crib.
Around and beneath her were
piled suit cases, blankets, bun
dies of clothing, books, bottles,
and odds and ends of household
equipment.
The crib had swayed back and
forth during the mornings
journey, and the motion had
lulled the baby into a sound
slumber. Now the unaccustom-
ed stiffness disturbed her. She
squirmed, whimpered, dug her
fists into her eyes and at last
let out a lusty yell. One yell and
another, and many more.
A woman walking along the
sidewalk heard the wailing,
stopped, and looked through the
window of the car. She was
joined by other pedestrians, and
in a minute a crowd had gath
cred. A policeman came on the
run to see what it was all about,
and this served to enlarge the
crowd.
"Janet's mother had taken the
other three children around the
corner to a restaurant" writes
William Figgatt, who was driv-
er and protector for the Greens

door and lifted her from the crib,
whereupon she stopped her noise,

in the stock prices in October,

Monday and Tuesday. His
daughter, Miss Courtney, and
his son, Myers, came with him.

SYNOPSIS

While the newsboys shouted, "All
about the big gang killing" Fanchon
Meredith and a man named Tony
planned their getaway. Tony gives
Fanchon $4,000 and reserves pas
sage for her under the name of Miss
Smith" on an airplane chartered by
the wealthy Mr.. Games enroute to
New York. A fellow passenger,
whom she had previously met on the
boat coming from Hawaii, recog-
nizes Fanchon. She is Evelyn How
ard. Evelyn is going to live with
the wealthy Mrs. Allison Carstairs,
an aunt, whom she has never seen.
Fanchon envies Evelyn flying to
happiness, while she is trying to es-
cape because she was Tony's girl
Tony, who lied his way through life
and whom she had innocently ac-
cepted on face value. Fanchon con-
6des in Evelyn about her love for
Tony. The police are searching for
Fanchon, "The Mystery Woman"
Fanchon asks Evelyn to enlist her
aunt's aid in securing a position for
her, but Evelyn becomes aloof. The
plane crashes. Fanchon is the only
survivor.
CHAPTER vi
If miss Smith" had died Tony
could never find her again, never
come to claim her. If Miss Smith"
had died the whole dreadful time of
panic, the hunted days, would be
forgotten, would be as if they had

Not A Radical

Democratic efforts in the East to
dispel fears that Roosevelt is a radical
because of the support OF Norris, La
Toilette, Hiram Johnson and Huey
Long, comprise the linking Of such
names TO him as Owen d. Young.
Newton Baker. J. w. Davis and Bern
ard Baruch. Except probably in his
attitude toward public utilities. Roose-
yelts record as governor has been
conservative. La Follettes machine
in Wisconsin, in announcing it's sup
port of Roosevelt. has declared OPEN
ly that it is not eye-to-eye with him
on many issues.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's greatest trouble, If
he is elected, will be TO control some
of the extremists who are seeking his
election on the various hustings.

an out for any congressman who
wants to dodge the liquor issue:
Members Of the Republican
party hold different opinions with
respect to it 18th amendment)
and NO PUBLIC OFFICIAL OR
MEMBER OF THE PARTY
SHOULD BE PLEDGED or forced
to choose between his party az
filiations and his honest convic-
tons upon this question"
Mr.. Smith puts his finger on the
defects in the Republican platform by
calling attention to this fallacy in the
Republican position in contrast to the
clear and concise position of the De-
mocrats which is an out and out re-
peal announcement. President Hoov-
err, who dictated the position of his
party Oh the 18th amendment direct
ly from the white house, sought to
face two ways to catch both the sup
port Of the vets and the drys. His
fallacious position has been effective
ly exposed by the Democrats in this
campaign. Far better had Hoover
stood by what he once called "the
noble experiment" and retained the
undivided support Of millions who are
honest and sincere in their unqual-
flied opposition to the liquor traffic.
Here at least is an issue where there
can be no justifiable compromise.

DemOIiShing Buildings

In Chicago. New York and other
large cities, property owners are de-
molishing buildings to evade the pay
ment of ruinous taxes. Some rather
large and important structures have
been RACED IN New York. It has been
found that income cannot meet the
taxes, SO the wreckers have been sent
in to salvage the buildings before the
tax eaters get them.
This is a sad commentary upon the
reluctance of officials to slash bud
gets, cut salaries and eliminate dead
timber from the public payroll. The
struggle is on in every municipality
large or small to reduce public expen-
ditures so that property owners can
break even in the operation Of their
properties.
Coming city elections should reveal
a great protest vote against city Off
Gals who refuse to give the electorate
necessary tax relief.

NAVY Dav-Its Significance

Navy Days, while not especially
designed for interior states, have a
special significance for them. Far re-
moved from the sea, residents OF
North Dakota seldom see warship.
Their contact with the navy is large
ly in picture on the printed page or
through the medium of the films.
Naval scenes inspire most people.
Great romance and thrilling adven-
ture characterize the lives OF those
who ride the waves in great ships and
more especially so if the vessel is a
greyhound of the seas from whose
masts flutter q galaxy of flags.
The navy and its additional arm Of
service. the marines, are usually first
in any trouble that threatens the ma
ton. II is to accentuate the great
necessity for this arm Of the national
defense that Navy Day has become an
important national observance. Its
celebration has been dignified and UNI
accompanied by ballyhoo and cheap
heroicS-that is why Navy Day grows
each year III Importance. 1t has
gained greater public interest as the
years roll by.
In 1882 Navy Day has a special his
torical significance because the nation

On The Home Stretch

II was doubtless good political
strategy to assign TO Albert E. Smith
the wet side of the Democratic argu-
ment IN this presidential campaign
When it opened, the battle promised
to center about the tariff and reamS
Of dreary figures. Then came the dry
budget discussions. But as the fight
enters into the home stretch. issues of
a wider appeal are under fire.
MIR. Smith last Monday evening
spoke at Newark, one Of the Wet CEN
ters of America. New Jersey has
clamored for beer and light wines
most vociferously for years. Jerseyites
received the greatest exponent of the
wet forces With open arms, atten-
tive ears and thunderous applause.
The arraignment Of the Republican
party for its hedging and equivoca-
ton at the hands of the Happy War
rior was merited. Mr.. Smith handled
the opposition without gloves and
especially the part which Mable Will
lebrandt played in the campaign of
1923. Her activities in that contest
were such as to king protests from
fair-ininded Republicans who abhor
the injection of religious issues into
political campaigns. Naturally in re-
Prospect, Albert Smith spoke in
rather bitter terms of this political
trend Now that he has gotten that
off his chest for the purposes of this
campaign at least, more harm than
good can come from repetition
When bigotry and intolerance raise
their ugly faces, fair-minded men Of
all parties resent such intrusion int
the consideration of great nationa
issues.
Almost with the advent of the 1871
amendment, Mr.. Smith took up cud
gels against 1t. Few have given deep
er study to the economic and politica
effects of the Volstead Act than tn
former governor of New York. II
spoke with authority and conviction
on this great problem now before tn

question. He was right when he sal
