of the railroad station at Carrboro
Monday, and the name, Carrboro. was
put in its place.

dered why this was not done long
ago. Maybe it was just because of
the traditional railroad conservatism
that has delayed many other changes.
Or maybe the, blame is local and can
be put on our oldest and most in
dulged inhabitant, Old Man Inertia.
II this last be true, the old man suf-
fered cruel beating a few weeks
ago when the municipality Of Carr
boro and the management of the
Carrboro Woolen Mills exploded into
action and petitioned the Southern
Railway for the change of name.
The l0-mile branch-line railroad
to Chapel Hill from the Goldsbcro-
Raleigh-Durham- Greensboro line was
completed ~ years ago, In 1882. The
terminus, where Carrboro now is, was
then in a clearing in the woods and
was Of course named Chapel Hill At
first an old abandoned car served as
station, and then a small building
was erected. But it was not called a
station; it was called depot (pro-

word, but deepo, with the accent on
the dee).
