properties, some said to contain mar
bic, in the Norris Reservoir"

Qulred leases in the Norris Reservoir

Tennessee Valley Authority confiscated
my property without compensation or
effort to settle the matter"

The latest information is that the
board will act upon my suggestion
within the immediate future" his

Made Fine Record With
Wake Forest Quint

Wake Forest, March 13-The 1887
Demon DeacOns, one of the best bas-
ketbal teams ever to wear the Wake
Forest uniform has on it Bill Stain
back, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Stain
back, Jr., of Henderson.
The Wake Forest courtmen have
tramped through sixteen victories, ty-
ing for second place in the Big Five
lineup, and occupying third place in
the Southern Conference.
Bill is a consistent forward. With
his five feet-ten inches of height and
100 pounds packed tight around it, he
has proven himself a formidable wea-
pom on the basketball court. When he
has the ball, he plays the pivotal role
that is, he can deceive his opponents
by feinting and weaving with the ball
which throws them off their guard.
His freshman ear he participated
in football, BASKETBALL and baseball,
still holding his academic average in
the COS. Bill is pursuing the Bache-
lor of Science degree in medicine, his
hobby being reading.
Roscoe Stalnback, Bills freshman
brother, is following close in his foot
prints, having participated in football
and is now a member of the 1887

SUNDAYS YESTERDAYS

March IA, 1794-Eli Whitney, aged
49, fresh from Yale, a northerner who
had never seen cotton until a few
weeks before he built the first cotton
gin, obtained a patent on the device
that revolutiOnized the South indus
trially, economically and socially.
The British historian Macauley said
the cotton gin was the greatest SIM e
factor in establishing the United
States as a power. Fulton said Whit
ney, Watt and Arkwright were the
three men who did most for mankind
of any of their contemporaries. Yet
Whitney did not profit penny from
1t. His patent was made worthless bv
uncomfortable infringements after he
had bankrupted himself in litigation
IN attempting to defend his rights.
But there was some justice in this.
Whitney was not the originator of the
gin. The idea for it was given him
by the widow of the Rev olutionarv
General Nathaniel Green, who had
hired him to go to Georgia as tutor
to her children
One innovation for which Whitney

down in the mountain Businesses OF
Tibet to find a veritable paradise
where the laws Of human nature and
of biology had been annulled 10y some
spookily packed supreme court OF Pro
vidence-you gasped to glory piled on
glory.
Here was, indeed, a Promised Land
which would make DR.. Townsend feel
like a grubbing realist. The palace or
the High Lama looked like an archl-
tectural blend of the Tai Mahal and
Charlie Schwab's Riverside Drive
chateau. Although the rescue party
had been dragging Mr.. Coleman and
his pals CATER the kidnap airplane
crashed through mountain SHOWS so
fearsome that 1 contracted a slight
head cold watching the blizzards blow,
they emerged through a crevass in
the crag suddenly into sweet valley
of blossoms and Southern California
balm
Chang, the Number Two man of the
place, was in active charge since the
High Lama was getting on toward
age 225 and took things little easier.
He wined and Toasted and glutted
with luxury the new arrivals, ex-
pounding the philosophy which had
made it all possible. Kindness, cour-
tesy, moderation was the secret, he
told the shipwrecked workings in
perfect, rounded English periods
Anyhow Mr.. Coleman and the beau
tiful girl, in the person of Jane Wyatt
whom he soon meets and finds to be
the High Llamas own ward, get i'm
mediately to the business of living the
Utopian life. They chase one another
about the green-sward. She slips away
to a dip, au natural. in a mountain
pool and Mr.. Coleman makes cum
ming scarecrow of her discarded gar
ments. He passes the time of day with
the smiling natives and even leads the
peasant tots in Little Red School
house songs.
Miss Wyatt is followed about by
great flocks of pigeons with cute mus
ical reeds tied to their tails. Sunlight
filters, music croons, the landscape is
ethereally beautiful and nowhere is
there hint of discord or conflicting
human drives.
In short, it's Utopia-and duler than
all hell.
You emerge into the harsh sulphur
Gus lights of Broadway feeling OBJ
scurely grateful that you don't live in
Mr.. Hilton's wonderland; that here
men hate and suffer and covet and
struggle bloodily but they retain the
smell and feel and meaty pathos of
human beings.

Raleigh, March 13-Appropriately
enough, Edenton was the site of pas
sage of the bill providing for systema-
tic advertising of the State of North
Carolina. Appropriately enough Eden

of the States awakening to the many
advantages and the tremendous value
in dollars and cents of proclaiming its
history ard resources to the world.

Edenton like so many other cities

Raleigh, March 13.-Thursday trim
to Edenton for a day devoted more to
fun and frolic than to serious business
had about the same effect upon tired
legislators as the little weekend
"sprees' of a footbal team after a
hard Saturday game. 1t eased the ten
sion of intensive and continuous grind
ing of the legislative mill and brought
the lawmakers back to Raleigh ready
to wind UP the current session safely
and sanely, yet with all possible ex-
petition.
The visit to Chowan's ancient capi-
tai was co;cTf':l and enjoyable Never

They were Ubiquitous in their efforts
to show the lawmakers and their at
tendants every possible courtesy.
The buffet luncheon at st. PauPs
parish house was a delightfully."- infor-
NAL affair, with the wonderful
Chowan ham drawing more comment
than anything but the unbounded hos
pitality of those who served it.
There was some disappointment at
the failure of the United States rev.
enue cutter Pamlico to make sche-
duled trip to the sound, but that was
due to the fact that visitors swarmed
aboard in such numbers that her cap
tain couldn't leave the dock without
violating every rule in the maritime
safety code.
Trips to the Cupola House. the Tea
Party House, the ancient James
Iredell home and other historic spots
were made under guidance of volun-

done that could have been done. for
