THE F’ASSIN(; OF MrRDOCH McLEOn Coronach sounded the death of a Scottish chieftain. A funeral dirge over in Nashville' Tenn.. told of the untimely passing of a noble warrior, the Kev. Mur dock MacLeod. When the mes sage struck the Sandhills it fell as a blow on a large part of the population as probably no man in the towm of Southern Pines or Pinf-hurst was more univer sally liked and respected than the former ])reacher of the Pinehurst Community Chuix-h. To understand something of the characteristics of the man. a glimpse into his ancestry throws more light on the sub ject than anything else. Down in the old Long Street churchyard a burial spot marks one of his forebears with an inscription— “Here lies MacLeod of far Dun- vegan.” Murdock MacLeod, like his Highland ancestors, traveled a long way from Dunvegan.

The question of waiving the existing restrictions on their borrowing in this country (the Johnson Act) is not of immediate in terest from the point of view of any one concerned.
