New City Council Takes Office
 Tonight

The l937 city council meets for ai1e last time tonight at the coun- scil chambers to transact business pertaining to its term of office during the past year.
 An audit of the city books is to oe presented for approval of the council, and after other old busi- ness, the body will adjourn sine die and reconvene for the pur- pose of installing new members, and those elected at the recent city election will then take their positions.
 AS an example of city expense, it was learned that the city of Nome had expended in the neigh borhood of $l4,OOO on the new school building during the past year, part of which was received in an amount turned over to the city from PWA sources, as re- funds. Another item khich is of special interest to the citizens of the city is that calling for the payment of interest and amortiz .ation on the PWA loan which the city of Nome secured following the fire, to finance the rebuilding of city functions and activities.
 It has been intimated in numer- ous quarters, said reports, that the city should be requested to publish its annual financial state ment, as do nearly every other city in the Territory, giving to the public, the benefit of the many problems connected with the management of city affairs, besides showing the financial standing of the city government following the past years activi- ties.

CROWDER ACQUIRES
HISTORIC PROPERTY
Old Burnside House and
Tract in WILLIAMSBURG
To Be Developed

r. B. Crowder, of this city and Ra-
leigh, has the huge Burnside tract OF
land in Williamssoro township in this
county, consisting of approximately
1000 acres, and plans large scale de-
velopment of the property, he said to-
day. Included in the property is the
old Burnside house, large two-story
structure Quilt in 1857, and which was
once the home of Memucan Hunt. the
first State treasurer of North Caro-
lima.
Mr.. Crowder said today he planned
to cut the tract into small farms of
from IS to so acres each, and try to
make home-owners of tenants. but to
reserve about 800 acres, with ths'
Burnside house, for a hunting lodge,
where he expects to spend good deal
of his time. The house will be extern
cively repaired at an early date, ac-
cording to Mr.. Crowder's plans.
The new owner plans to open the
house on December 81, at which time
he expects to invite number of his
friends out for the event.
At about the time the old Burnside
house was erected, two others were
also CrCcLeQ Ddck III Colonial LlIIleS.
Two are still standing. The others
were Nine Oaks, which is owned by
the Crowder heirs, and Bannockburn,
which was burned years ago.
The territory lies in the western
part OF Vance county, where in the
early days there were many large es-
tates. The section is rich in historic
lore, much of the early history of
North Carolina. as well as of the ma
ton, revolving about events that took
place there. Old WILLIAMSBURG. now
little more than a cross roads, once
was one of the political centers of
North Carolina, and was important
as late as Reconstruction times fol-
lowing the Civil War.
Mr.. Crowder bought the Burnside
tract from lumber company and
others. He operates a large fleet of
motor trucks out of Raleigh, under
contract with the A. & F.. Stores COM
pany in serving their local units in
most of Eastern North Carolina.

But she did not tell her that
Uncle Jerry was dead, and that
was his heir; nor did her mother
dream, when Mimi started out for
a walk the next morning, that
years would pass before they
would meet.
We were married, as l have
said, in Mrs. Merrick's old house.
Most of it was rented to dodgers,
but she had retained the long
front room in the English base
ment, and had make a parlor of
it, with her meals served at the
other end on shining square of
dark mahogany. With the kitchen,
and a bedroom on the floor above,
she was very comfortable, and an
old colored maid, jimmy, cooked
for her, and prepared our wedding
breakfast. One Of Mrs. Merrick's
dodgers was a clergyman. It was
he who performed the ceremony
and made the fourth at the break
fast.
The table was a drift of white
flowers, and Mimi was all in
white. AS looked at her it seemed
as if the sacred rite, which I had
shared with her, had changed us
both in. some mysterious way
with this ring thee wed
to have and to hold from
this day forward =. for richer for
poorer as long as We both
shall live :"
She was now, felt, eternally
mine; the ring I had put on her
finger had a deathless Significance.
It was at the moment Of part
ing that Mrs. Merrick said to
Mimi, Remember, you are going
to be happy, Cherie. And Jerry
must remember that you and he
are not a god and goddess on the
peak Of Mount Olympus. You'll
lind each others faults. And YOU
must love because Of the faults as
we'll as Of the virtues"
Mimi chung to her. you've been
such darling, Aunt Lucille. Some
day you shall come and see our
happiness ="
Then the taxi-the train. IT
seemed to me that I must wake
from my dream and find myself
alone and wanting Mimi. Yet,
tnere she was in the seat beside
me, a little low hat with a pea
COCKS feather on her lovely head,
the daughter Of a proud race, yet
with her pride submerged for the
moment in her sense Of romance,
and in her faith in the future that
my love had promised her.
And now we were in the midst
OF our great adventure. If Mimi
mad been adorable amid all the
distractions of her own gay world,
what shall 1 say of her when I
had her to myself?
There are things, however,
which cannot be spoken. can
tell only of my joy in the assur-
ance she gave me of her devotion.
i love you because of your stead
fastness, Jerry. Men never know
what 1t means to a woman to find
a lover who doesn't split his af-
fections up into little bits. Strength
and constancy-these are the es-
sentials-. It is so heavenly to
rest in your care Of me, Jerry"
I told her Of my fathers care
of my mother. a''I want to be like
that" I said, but you have some
thing which my mother never had
and which my father missed.

THE IMPORTANT DETAILS

BY the end of August, 1887, the
Federal Convention that wrote our
Constitution just a century and a
half ago this summer. was approach
ing its successful close.
During the preceding fourteen
weeks, delegates had been develop
ing the broad design of the new
government which was to loom so
large IN the history Of human free
dom. Now they were concerned with
the tremendously important details
Of that plan.
Yet even in details, their leaders
chung jealousy to the principles of
democracy which had influenced all
The deliberations.
When, for example, on August 81,
questions arose over methods of rati-
flying the National Charter in view
Of the fact that it might affect pro-
visions in certain state constitutions,
James Madison, of Virginia, quickly
pointed out that these presented
problems for the people TO decide.
"The people" he said, ARE, in fact.
the fountain of all power" and
added that by reSortIng 70 them all
difficulties are solved.
Madison was equally irsistent that
IN the proposed Union there should
be no discrimination between states.
Even states not yet organized, but

Iation west of the Appalachians we're
expected later to seek admission.
should enter, he insisted, on the
came footing as those Seaboard states
represented at the Convention.
'The western states, he declared,
neither viii nor ought to submit to
a union which degradeS them from
an equal rank with the other states"
Many similarly significant details
were ironed out during that busy
week, and a large number of the
conclusions then reached gave our
Constitution its now familiar form
Among other decisions, the Conven-
ton agreed:
That ION the application Of the
Legislatures Of two-thirds Of the
states in the Union for an amend
