ELON BUILDING PROGRAM.
Provision Made for Erection of Seven
New Buildings.
(Sion M. Lyman.)
The most phenomonal thing in
North Carolina collegiate history has
occurred on the Elon college campus
during the past five months. A ter
rible fire on the morning of January
18th reduced the administration build
ing of Elon College to a smouldering
mass of ruions. In this building was
housed practically all the college
equipment and most of the class
rooms were situated. In the building
; was the library, the domestic science
department, the commercial depart
-1 ment, the department of applied arts,
and all the literary society halls. The
loss was greater than could be meas
i ured in dollars.
In spite of this loss students and
faculty with a grim determination
went forward with the work of the
college year. Not a student left the
campus and only one day of work was
lost. They set themselves to the task
of rebuilding and carrying on the j
work with undiminished force regard- !
less of the loss which the college had j
I sustained.
The board of trustees met on Janu- j
! ary 24th and outlined the most gi
gantic rebuilding program which any
' denominational college in the South
has yet undertaken.
The program provided for seven
new buildings to replace the old ad
ministration building. Five of these
buildings were to be erected at once,
and construction is already begun on
j three of these and the ground is clear
led for the fourth. Two of the propos
ed buildings are dormitories and will
be erected later as they are needed.
Added to this rebuilding program on
* which three hundred thousand dollars
will be spent at once is the proposed
, increase endowment of the college; an
increase of three hundred thousand
i dollars. )
Elon has long been an A-l college,
and its work in the field of education
has brought the highest approbation
from the Governor of the State and
from the late Superintendent Brooks.
' The added equipment, however, and
the enlarged facilities of the college
will enable Elon to do a greater edu
cational work for the State.
The Christian Church founded Elon
College 33 years ago and the college
i is still supported largely by the Chris
tian Church, but Elon has always been
! a religious democracy. Every deno
mination is given freely of its service
and no preference is shown to its own
denomination. During the past year
there were seven denominations repre
sentde in the faculty and 10 in the
student body of the college. All of
the denominations worked together
harmonoiusly, and supported together
the religious activities organization
which unites all the varied religious
activities of the campus and looks
] after the religious needs of the col
-1 lege.
The five buildings which will be con
structed will form a quadrangle with
1 the new administration building at
| the center. This new administration
building is much larger than the burn
ed building and will far more adequ
ately care for the needs of the college.
It was the gift of Alamance county in
whose borders the college stands.
The two buildings which will occupy
the two southern comers of the quad
rangle are the science hafl and the
Whitley Memorial building in which
the auditorium and music department
of the college will be located. The
Whitley Memorial building was the
gift of Mr. J. M. Darden, of Suffolk,
Va. I
In the science hall the departments
of physics, chemistry, geology and bi
ology wil find ample room for their
needs. Each floor has been outlined
by the professor whose department
j will occupy it after a careful study of
; the particular needs of the department
The best science buildings all over the
country have been studied and their
strong points incorporated in the Elon
building. This will give Elon one of
the best science buildings in the State
or in the South. |
The northern comers of the quad
rangle will be occupied by the Carlton
Memorial building and the religious
activities building. The Carlton build
in will house the library of the college
and will have a capacity of one hun
dred thousand volumes. It will be
equipped with the best reading rooms
and every modern library equipment
will be installed.
The religious activities building will
Ibe a unique building. No similar
j. building now stands on any college
j campus in America. The building
originated with the Elon religious edu
cation department and plans were
drawn under its supervision. Leaders
I in the field of religious education all
| over the county have been consulted
regarding the plants and they heartily
endorse the idea. This arrangement
gives Elon a leadership in the field
of religious education and enables the
departments to unite theory and prac
tice in the work and to give to the
church leaders in every line of endea
vor. |
The marvelous success which the
Elon rebuilding program has attain
ed is due largely to the untiring es-
I forts of the president, Dr. W. A. Har- j
per. He has had the loyal support of
the church, and of the many friends
of the college. Elon was built 33
years ago with terrible sacrifice and it,
has grown by sacrifice; grown larger
and grown into the hearts of the peo
ple whom it serves in church and
i State.
j Up from a heap of ashes and smoul
dering ruins Elon has risen majestic

PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1923.
SILER CITY'S FOURTH.
Congressman W. C. Hammer Delivers
Address of Day.
Siler City, July 7.—The crowd that
gathered here to celebrate the Fourth
was estimated at 4,000 and Siler City
has never entertained on this occa
sion as many people who showed their
appreciation by such marked good be
havior.
Not a thing happened to mar a per
fect day’s enjoyment and the weather
was ideal.
A distinctly interesting feature was
the baby show in which were entered
53 as fine babies as any county in the
State can produce. The prizes, $5
gold pieces, were won by the five
months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. G.
Edwards, and the 13-months-old
daughter, Nellie Mozelle, of Mr. and
Mrs. June Wicker.
The speaker of the day, Congress
man W. C. Hammer, of Asheboro, told
his audience that he had come with
a prepared speech on the constitution
j and the bill of rights but that since
!he had looked over the immense
I crowd made up as it was of young
j and old that he was undecided whether
I to deliver it or speak at random on
j various issues of the day. Deciding
, upon the latter course Mr. Hammer
, delivered one of his characteristic
speeches and was heard with appre
| ciation.

| BOLL WEEVIL IS NOT POISON.
. Little Insect Bothers Only Cotton and
Proven Harmless to People.
Raleigh, July 9.—lnquiries received
by the State Board of Health from
widely separated sections of the State
indicate a fear of the boll-weevil that
is entirely unfounded. The State
Board of Health is advised that this j
pest of the cotton plant is without!
danger other than the damage which
it does to one of the State’s leading
farm products.
The boll weevil is not poisonous. It
does not infest fruits or berries, nor
any of the garden vegetables, such a£
corn, beans, cabbage, lettuce, okra, to
matoes, or the like. The only food
that satisfies the appetite of this in
■ sect is the cotton boll, and it eats this
preferably when young and tender,
when the squares are just forming.
Popular superstition has enlarged
the field of activity of this insect
which is causing a revolution in the
agricultural habits of the entire
South. In some sections the weevil is
reported in the blackberries. From an
other comes the report of having
found it in the okra. A far eastern
county attributed a serious illness to
the weevil having been cooked along
wits some snap beans. A Piedmont
county thought it was infesting the
cabbage. In all instances a consuming
fear seems to have taken possession
of some of the people lest the boll
, weevil take their lives.
In answering such inquiries the
State Board of Health has endeavored
to reassure those unduly fearful with
the definite statement that there is
nothing to fear from the boll weevil
except the partial destruction of the
cotton crop. The insect is not poison
ous, and infests onlv the cotton plant.

Health.

!? HE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Tin Tub Still Captured by Officers in
Pleasure Moments.
Last Friday afternoon Sheriff Blair
got wind of a still being operated on
Buckhom creek, Cape Fear township,
within 200 yards of the N. and S. rail
road. The sheriff does not like to bo
ther with liquor lappers when they are
making good and pure whiskey and
wouldn’t do it at all but for a law
gotten up by a man named Volstead
and passed by Congress, but when it
comes to making and training the
Fountain of Youth from a tin tub ve
hicle it makes him mad and when he
gets mad he smells bad, but he does
not smell bad all the time, because
you can walk right up to him when
he is in a good humor and never not
ice anything.
On this occasion he was mad. The
idea of a man making liquor from a
tin tub was galling, so he got his men
—Deputies Dezerne, John Bums, Lacy
Johnson and Raymond Dezerne —and
hied themselves Friday night to the
fountain head.*
Just before reaching the tubs a pis
tol was fired four times. This gave
an alarm to the Joy Makers who gath
ered their feet together, leaving their
works behind theifi.
On examination the posse found two
tin tubs joined together, but the cap
and worm were copper. There were al
so twelve barrels standing by, 11 of
them being filled with mash ready for
work. The operators had recently
been making liquor and had hauled it
awva.
The officers lay around the place
for a while but came to town that
night. Early Saturday morning they
returned and got the still and destroy
ed everything else, thereby ending an
other chapter of a beautiful storv—
“The Fountain of Youth; or Why
Shouldn’t a Man Make Likker.”
MONCURE NEWS. /
Moncure, July 9. —Miss Virginia
Cathell is visiting Miss Norine Sow
ers, of Lexington, this week.
There was a house party of con
siderable interest to Moncure people
in Durham last Sunday. Doubtless
it was promoted by Messrs. Waverly
Las ter and J. K. Barnes, who were
unusually delighted with the party.
Miss Laura Barclay and Miss Clor
ine Parker with Miss Rida Umstead
were visiting Miss Umstead’s sister,
Mrs. Cole. Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Gun
ter also accompanied them.
The Betterment Association met last
Wednesday afternon with Mrs. T. B.
Lambeth.
Miss Katherine Thomas, the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.'Thomas, is
visiting friends at Apex this week.
There will be Children’s Day .exer
cises at Providence Methodist church
four miles northeast of Moncure next
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Every
body is cordially invited.
Messrs. M. T. Wilkie, John Bell,
Sr., John Bell, Jr., and John Morri
son attended the ball game between
High Point and Raleigh last Monday
afternoon at Raleigh. The score was
7 to 3 in favor of High Point.
Dr. and Mrs. R. G. Sowers, of Lin
wood, are guests of her sister, Mrs.
J. E. Cathell. This happy young
couple were married in Durham'last
Saturday and will go from here to
Blowing Rock before going to Winston
Salem where Dr. Sowers will be con
nected with the State hospital.
FARMER LOSES HOGS.
Dunn, July 7. —Due to the preval
ence of hog cholera in Harnett county
County Agent H. A. Edge decided to
put on a campaign to vaccinate the
hogs of the county and called on Dr.
F. D. Owen who has charge of this
work for the State college and de
partment of agriculture, to help him
out. The matter was given much pub
licity. A great number took advan
tage of the event and had their hogs
immunized from the disease by the
double treatment given by Dr. Owen.
About 1,000 were treated.
Now it cost about 35 cents to $1.25
to vaccinate an animal, depending on
its size, but one good hog owner de
cided that he wouldn’t go to that use
less expense. About a week after
the treatment had been administered
to the 1,000 hogs, cholera broke out
on the farm of the man who refused
to have the work done. He called for
help. He went post haste for the
county agent, and Mr. Edge being a
i conscientious sort of fellow wanted
to help his farmer friend out. He us
ed the serum alone treatment and
vaccinated the six fine hogs but some
of them weer already sick and Dr.
i Owens reports that even tho’ Edge
made six fine shots, only two of the
six will be saved.
Each of the hogs were worth S2O
at the time of being attacked with the
disease. Thus $5 would have saved
SBO or more if the hogs were reck
oned in terms of meat this fall and
winter.
Dr. Owens says that the serum is a
preventative agent and is not a cura
tive agent and so it is wise to lock
the door before the horse is stolen—
not afterwards. It seems that he is
right.
Early Roasting Ears.
Mr. W. D. Cotner, who lives two
miles northwest of Pittsboro, has been
supplying local merchants with roast
ing ears for the past two weeks and
they are of a nice variety. The same
date last year Mr. Cotner had sold
more than 50 dozens of ears of corn,
