HOLLYWOOD, June 8-tRl-
Much has been baised of the typi-
cal Hollywood starlet mother-an
over-dressed, domineering, ambi-
tious, pushing female who hesitates
at nothing to get son or daughter a
place in the screen sun.
But Margaret Darnell is none Of
those.
She's the sort you might meet at
a neighborhood club anywhere, in
fact, two years ago you might have
met her at such a club in Dallas.
Hollywood has not gone to the
head of her beauteous, dark-haired
daughter, Linda. And one of the
reasons may be that it has not gone
to the head of Mother Darnell.
Mother Of six children, Margaret
Darnell is a pleasant person with
grazing hair, done in a braid in
the back. She wears simple
clothes, unaffected hats, little
makeup. But m paradoxical.
viewed in the light of activities of
other movie mothers, is the way
she leaves Linda's career to the
studio.
81 think they know more about
movies than I do" she says.
Folks around Goth Century-Fox
didn't see her, in fact, during Lin
da's first picture Hotel for Wom-
finally, at her daughters in
sistance, she stepped on the lot to
watch Daytime ~Wife"-partially,
she admits, because I wanted to
see Tyrone Power"
Linda's busy now on brigham

stays in their modest home a few
blocks from the studio and leaves
movie making to those who know
how.
. She isn't entirely happy, although
critics see for her daughter n OF
the brightest futures in ilmdom.
For Hollywood is a long way from
Texas. and she's separated just

disapproval, said
If I'm the person perverting the
university by keeping it open and
free, l don't want to be connected
with it. That's the kind of universe
ty I'm going to keep.
Quickly to his side leaped Jose
plus Daniels of Raleigh, U. S. Am
tassador to Mexico, and other
trustees.
Graham is the greatest state
university president in the count
ry", said Daniels. IF he should
turn aside to be what some people
say is not liberal, we should shut
the miversity's doors. Our only
trouble is that we haven't h a d
enough money to make it more
liberal and let its light shine
throughout America.
The board took no action on the
criticism which was touched off
by Thurman Chatham, manufact-
mer, of Winston-Salem, who said:
81 want to say something about
this so-called liberalism at t h e
university, the extra-liberal atmos-
pierre. Many regard our university
as a great radical university, and
It seems that the seat of govern

what he called the political activit-
les Of DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald of
the university extension service, a
defeated candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor of
North Carolina in 1886. Other
members raised the question of
how the new university radio sta
ton was being used. DR.. McDon-
aid is director of the studio.
Defended by Newman
Andrew Monroe of Raleigh in
troduced but later withdrew a mo-
ton to investigate the station.
Former Governor J. C. B. Ehring-
naus of Raleigh and Harris New
man of Wilmington defended the
radio programs.
If there are any charges a.
salnst DR.. Mcdonald, I'd like to
nave them, said DR.. Graham.
The radio station has been con-
quoted beyond reproach. DR.. Nc
Donald is not here to defend him
self.
John Sprunt Hill, Durham ca
ptallst, called for restraint on
Wildcat freedom. He said that the
university would produce "either
patriots, or yellows and slackers"
ana that it should produce pat
tlots. He particularly questioned
NE ~advisability of permitting cir
responsible groups to invite such
men as Earl Browder and Fritz

The "third dimensional", or depth

Morton said his projection of three
dimensional images never was ac-
complished successfully until the de-

scientist. This material, which looks
like glass but has the peculiar prop
erty of causing light to "vibrate" in
only one plane, is made by laying
crystals on transparent plastic film

AND KILLS KENNARD

Wilcox Stafford, a young colored
man shot and killed instantly Ken
nard Chambers, respectable col
ored man, on the farm of Zadoc M.
Poole, in the tenure of William
Lofiand, Saturday night at 1870
o'clock. The murder occurred in a
tenement house on the farm occu-
pied by James E. Williams. A
party was being given by Williams,
and a large number of colored peo-
pie were present. During the ev-
ening Stafford, who lived on a farm
nearby, came over and began quar-
reling with Chambers. Stafford,
who was drunk, struck a colored
man named Norman Powers with
a chair. The chair glanced off and
struck Chambers. This led to
words between Stafford and Cham
bers. They went to a back room
to settle their difference. Stafford
slipped up behind a colored man
named Joshua Iodine, and pulled a
revolver out OF LodlneS S pocket.
He cooked it and pointed it at
Chambers. AS soon as Chambers
saw that Stafford intended to shoot
him, he rushed into Stafford and
clung to him. The latter placed
the revolver's point against Cham
ber's left breast and pulled the
trigger. The ball went through his
body. AS Chambers fell Stafford
struck him on the back of the head
with the butt of the revolver.
When the murderer saw his victim
lying before him he stepped to the

THE CUNNING SEASON

| The cunning season in Kent
opens on the 18th and it may not
be out of place to offer a word of
caution to sportsmen generally.
Any person found trespassing upon
lands whose occupants or owners
have advertised against trespass-
ers, may be arrested by any officer
and fined the sum of five dollars,
and sent to Jail for failure to pay
The law is ample and stringent for
the protection of farmers against
all trespassers. Therefore gunners
will be on the safe side only, by
obtaining permission from the
owners or occupants of lands to
hunt thereon. Non-residents of the
county are required to obtain a
license from the clerk of the cir
cult court, and no person is allow
ed to ship game outside of the
county or sell it without a license
to do so.
THE ELECTION YESTERDAY
Yesterday was altogether a
good election day, dry, crisp air
with alternating clouds and sun
shine. 1t passed off quietly and
not an angry word,
but an immense amount of earn
est work, and the largest poll for
the past ten years 899-just one
vote less than 900. In Kenton Hun
dred the vote for Reynolds was
1856, Causey, 324, Richardson, $50,
Cannon, 252. The vote for sena-
tors was Williams, 325, Hall, 327,
Hoffecker, $50, Reedy 247. Little
Creek went Democratic by So ma
jority. Up to the hour of going to
press no accurate news could be
obtained from the hundreds below,
but the supposition is the Demo-
Gratis have carried Kent county by
4 small majority. New Castle
county is equally hard to hear
from, but the indications are that
the county has gone Democratic
oy a majority of several hundred
as has also Sussex, thus giving
hem the entire control of the
state.
