This Is $4,000 Higher Than
the Figure Which Had Been
Approved by House

The state senate has voted to
raise the appropriation for the
Greater University to 1882, 900,
the figure set by the joint COM
mittee. The share of the Uni
versity in Chapel Hill. one of the
three units of the institution, is
S426, 900.
The $S32,OOO is $4,000 more
than the amount approved by
the house last week. The differ
ence will have to be settled in
conference, and so what the Uni
versity will actually receive is
still in doubt.
John Sprunt Hill offered the
amendment to the appropria-
tions to bring the figure for the
University back to what the
joint committee had allowed.
This figure is (for the Chapel
Hill institution) $265,00O less
than was asked for by President
Graham and is about half the
appropriation for the year 1928
1929. In the house the Bowie
Cherry bloc had the fund down,
at one time, to $250,000.
Senator Larry Moore of New
Bern opposed the Hill amend
ment. He criticized the man
agement of the University for
what he called extravaganza.
Senator Hinsdale came to the de-
fense of the institution and reep
called its valuable services to tho
state. Senator Mclean of Beau
fort county and the senator's
from Mecklenburg, Wake, and
Durham supported the increase.
The senate adopted the Nc
Lean Bailey amendment to the
appropriations bill, providing
for a fund of $l6,000,000 for an
eight-months school term. This
action is generally regarded as
making inevitable sales tax.
The burden represented by a
sales tax, however, will be off
set, under the eight-months-
term plan, by the abolition not
only of the present 15-cent prop
erty levy but also Of the present
levies laid by charter districts
and special tax districts.

REVALUATI0N OF
PROPERTY AFTER
6-YEAR INTERVAL
LEGISLATURE Decides upon It,;
Effort Will Be Made to
End Inequalities
RAY TO NAME ASSESSORS

A problem that the county of
Orange and the town of Chapel
Hill must soon face is the re-
valuation of property for taxa
tio1.
The last revaluation was six
years ago. One was scheduled
for 1881, but the legislature of
that year postponed it. The
present legislature has decided
that it. shall not be postponed
again.
The assessors appointed for
Chapel Hill two years ago were
?. L. Burch, w. II. Ray, and
George Howe. They were re-
lieyed of their task by the post
ponement measure. County Tax
Supervisor Gilbert w. Ray will
make his 1892 appointments
within a few days after the re-
valuation bill has completed its
passage through the legislature.
As far as the individual tax
payer is concerned, he will not
benefit from a mere reduction
in the total assessed valuation,
because the tax rate goes up as
the total valuation goes down.
For example, if all the property
in a town is assessed at 81 ,O0O,-
900 and the years budget is
$4,000 the tax rate will be
$3.50 per 500. If the assess
nents are put down to $500, 900
and the budget remains SIS, 900,
he tax rate will be So per 500.
But a revaluation, if it is prop
rrJy made, will correct lnequali-
ties. The assessment on John
Smiths property may be re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000,
"hIle that on Thomas Jones' $
may be kept at $4,000 and that
on William Browns may be
moved up to 1000. This shows
how a citizen whose property is

showing that Of the total expen-
ditures of $4,000 in 1882, only
about fourth was covered by
payments from patients; the re-
naming three-fourths was for
free treatment. The report
says: "The demand for free
service is already exhausting
the supply of funds"
And Watts Hill says that the
deficit of Watts hospital is pill
ing up at the rate of from $4,000
to $4,000 a month.
The income from hospital en-
dOwments, as from all other en-
dowments, has been reduced by
the business depression. The
Duke hospital annual report did
not touch upon this matter, but
it is known that this institution
has not escaped the effect of
cuts in dividends.

Glorious Display of Judas

What the women of Chapel
Hill say must surely be the most
gorgeous display Of Judas trees
in all the world is to be seen
about three miles out from the
village on the Raleigh road.
When you get to the causeway
over the swamp, with the white
fences on the sides, draw off to
the right and halt. Then look
to the left across the meadow
land and you will see a slope all
covered with the rose-red foliage
of the Judas. This slope is on
the estate of Pierre du Bose.

May Revive Bicycling
Mrs. Hamilton and Others Plan to
Engage in Ancient Sport

A group Of men and women in
Chapel Hill have taken the no.
ton to revive bicycling.
Mrs. Jack Hamilton is the
chief propagandist for bringing
the ancient sport into vogue
again. Her enthusiasm has
been whetted by the testimony
brought from Florida by Mr..
and Mrs. Nicholson Adams. The
Adamses say that the streets of
Palm Beach fairly swarm with
bicycle riders. >
IF in Palm Beach, why not
here?' Mrs. Hamilton asked the
editor when he met her on the
post-office plaza yesterday. Il
have heard a lot of people say
they would like to go about
Chapel Hill on bicycles. Tom
Noe, for example, and John Car
roll, and some of the girls who
work down in the library. No
body wants to be the first one
and ride all alone. Maybe We'll
get up a sort of club and start

Garden Party Fed at One Home after Another

A group of garden enthusi-
asts enjoyed a peripatetic party
Monday afternoon. At the Tot
tens, on the hill overlooking the
Country Club golf links, each of
them received a little basket
containing sandwiches and
Strawberries. They went on to
the Howes' place at Buttons,
bearing their baskets, and there
cookies and various kinds of
candies were served. The final
course was at the Farrars'-hot
and cold drinks and ice cream.
Robert Swan Sturtevant of
Boston came over from Raleigh
with Miss Isabel Busbee, and
these two landscape architects
were the guests of honor. In

Quoted Mr.. Sturtevant over the
w. G.. Coker estate.
A large crowd gathered in the
Botany building to hear Mr..
Sturtevant talk about landscape
architecture. He illustrated his
talk with lantern slide pictures
of beautiful gardens in Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New
York, and other Northern states.
One thing he said was that gar
deners should not spend their
energies in the attempt to grow
exotic plants but should concen-
trate upon the cultivation of
plants that had already proved
their adaptability to the climate
and the soil.
Mr.. Sturtevant is a graduate
of Harvard. He was formerly
with the celebrated OlmSted
Brothers in Boston, and he has
taught in the Lowthorpe School
of Landscape Architecture for
Women at Groton, Mass. He is
now at Simmons College and the
Cambridge School in Boston.

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleas ant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold &C., ton; it soothes and heals the 1n- Hated membranes and inhiblts germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical author ities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms Of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosoce, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, and attacks the seat of the trouble.

Two personalities full of dyna- mite. thrown into the torrid heat of Java jungles, control the dra- matic story of When Strangers Marry" a Columbia production which closes tonight at the Coli scum Theatre. It is the tense individuality of a two-fisted en- gineer, as ably portrayed by Jack Holt. and the flaming spark of his wife, spoiled heiress, as energetically played by the pro vocative Lillian Bond, that pro- vide the impetus for this fast moving story set in the exotic background of the Far East.
 The characters of the colorful railroad builder, Steve Bond of fers Holt opportunity to play a role that comes as welcome re- lief, after the general run oi drawing room leading men.
 Holt marries after a hectic party on the eve of his departure
 
 for Java, and when his beautiful young wife insists upon follow ing him, he is forced to battle for her fidelity as well as to complete his assignment of finishing the railroad.
 As man determined to stick bv his job despite his marital difficulties, Holt, with the dexter ity of the veteran that he is, gives the role of Steve Rand the feeling of strength and weakness that is demanded.

RUSSIAN COURT. COMES TO LIFE. IN ROYAL DRAMA.
B Barrym or es Fairly Live Tragic Roles in 'Ras-
 putin and the Empress

The ill-fated Russian family, Rasputin, the Mad Monk, whose machinations that wrecked the empire, and the pomp and panop- ly of the most colorful court in the world, all come to life under the magic spell of John, Ethel ana Lionel Barrymore, in "Rasputin and the Empress" Metro-Goldwyn Mayors spectacle of the fall of the Romanoffs, now playing at the Capitol Theatre.
 Here is modern history-the in- side of the plots, counterplots, in trigues and orgies in the shadow of tottering throne. Only slight ly fictionized it breatnes veritable life.
 John Barrymore as the roman tic Prince Chegodieff, victim of Rasputin's plotting and later his nemesis, Ethel Barrymore as the tragic Czarina, blaming herself for the illness of the little son whom she loves more than life; Lionel as the willy Rasputin, ruling an empire through its supersti- tious monarchs-all fairly live their remarkable roles.
 The Czar is reincarnated in the perfect makeup and acting Of Ralph Morgan. The little Czare- vich lives again in Tad AleXan- der, and such historic personages are brought to life as the beauti- ful Princess Natasha, played by the English stage star, Diana Wynyard, the Grand Duke Igor co. Henry Gordon, and the cele- brated court physician who tried in vain to cure the Czarevich, Of his curious ailment, played by Edward Arnold.
