NEW SKYLINE IS
RISING AT DFKE
i First Unit of TwoiUy-MUllon Dollar
Program WoR Under Way.
1 Durham. Jan. 27.—A nfw sky
; lino is rising above the old athletic
field at Duke University, strongly
indicating that the first unit of a
§20,000,000 building program is well
| under way.
j Here, a year or more ago, irish
men and class teams of old Trinity
; College played aud practiced football,
baneball and soccer.
Today the foundations of ten mag
nificent bui.dings have been com
pleted and steel workers are rearing
the red beams skyward.
In another year new unit of
buildings, erected at a cost of more
than $4,000,000. will be occupied as
the most complete and beautiful
group in the South.
Hundreds of workingmen, equip
ped with modern buildiug machinery,
are at work on the new university
plant. Giant 1 cranes are being used
to handle the huge bars of steel and
heavy slabs of stone. Dozens of
freight cars move on the spur track
leading to the building site each day.
No time is being lest in preparing
the new buildings for the hundreds
qf, students who are expected to
nock to Duke next year; and at the
same time every effort is being made
to make the structure completely
equipped, beautiful and serviceable
as any that may be found elsewhere.
A mile or more southeast, in the
center of a 5,000-aere tract, and on
a magnificently wooded ridge are
scores of small posts, marked with
numerals that only surveyors and
architects understand. These show
the locutions of 40 sandsomc stone
buildings that are to become the
principal group of buildings in
Dukes incomparable plant/ Pines,
great oaks and other trees add to tin
natural beauty of the new campus
and make it a plnee of quietude.
It is not definitely known when
actual building operations wil begin
on the new and bigger unit of univer
sity structures, but it is thought not
improbable that Activities will get
under way during the spring. Five
years will he required to complete
the new plant. This larger group
will eventually become the men's
university while the present campus
with its new buildings will be turned
over to the university’s women's
college.

Washington, Jan. 27.—Adherence

[court-, with reservations war; npprov
jcd tonight by the senate, 70 to 17.
The vote brought to an end ope of
jthe bitterest fights the senate hnu
had aince the memorable struggle
over the league of nations.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
war President, sat in the crowded
galleries with rapt attention an the
senate cast the vote giving its "ad
vice and consent" to American mem
bership in the court set up under the
covenant of the league which her
husband brought back from Paris,
and which the senate rejected March
10, 1020.
Operating under the drastic clo
ture rule limiting debate, the senate
worked far past its usual hour of nd
jcurnmtnt in order to reach the
final vote. There was five hours of
debate and then a rapid fire of roll
calls on which every reservation
pressed by opponents of the court
was rejected by overwhelming ma
jorities.
The final roll call came suddenly
after Senator Johnson, republican.
California, had made a dramatic last
minute appeal for rejection of the
resolution of adhesion. Party lines
disappeared in the votipg, 40 repub

Pest and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York, Jan. 27.—While the
market has* presented a somewhat
tired appearance aud might drag low
er for a time, the buying is of better
character than the selling and in spite
of rumors of an easier basis in some
sections nothing is heard of any cot
ton heading here for delivery. Advices
from various foreign countries indi
cate an active consumption and even
iu Lancashire private reports suggest
that the worst has been seen and al
though English consumption irtay not
reach the earlier estimates, it prom
ises to compare favorably with recent
years.
Domestic consumption is on a veryt
satisfactory scale aud it dees not look
that any really desirable cotton wil?
go begging this year or that any such
sensational break in the basis will
be seen as would make it profitable to
ship cotton for delivery on contract.
Weekly statistics for a time may com
pare rather poorly and spot demand
prove somewhat’slack until the time j
comes to fill outstanding engagements!
for the balance of the season which
are believed to be fairly heavy for
the months from February on.
Selling is not aggressive but in vol
ume sufficient to satisfy existing de
mand and take the edge off any ad
vance that start so that purchasers
should act conservatively and be pre
pared to protect their interests if fur
ther recessions occur. Close observers
believe that an unparalleled situation
exists in the May and July positions
with sensational possibilities.

| Boone. Exclusive of Teachers. Has
a College Graduate Far 70 In
habitants.
Boonr. Jan. 27.—Dr. 3. D. Ran
| kin. of the State Normal, has beep
. investigating the proportion of col
lege graduates for Boone compared
with the average in the United
States. He finds the average for the
United Stater, to he one college
graduate for every 89 inhabitants in
1925, the average in the town of
Boone to be one for every 70 in
habitants, uot including any one
connected with the Normal, the high
school, nor the demonstration school.
To include the students and faculty
in the population of the town the
proportion would be one college
graduate for every 39 inhabitans.
Os course the county would not
average the same as the town, as it
would not anywhere, but at the same
time then* is a considerable number
of eqllege graduates in the various
sections of the county, possibly aver
aging fairly well with any of the
counties. And these graduates are
from four-year standard colleges.
The proportion of college grad
uates for Boone, not including the
Normal and other schools, may be a
surprise to many who have a wrong
idea of the mountain section in gen
eral, and this may be especially a

surprise to those writers and their
friends who have been writing and
reading exaggerated reports of the
mountain people.
The real fact about the matter is
that the mountain people are about
like those ofe other rural sections of
our own state and other crates, ex
cept that they are of a purer Anglo-
Saxon type, and striving against
odds in a more difficult situation,
but at the same time amid the
grandeur of the wonderful scenery
around them, they are more strongly
developed in body and mind, and
many of them in soul, so that a
large number of them when they
come in competition with those
from other sections, easily stand
first.
