Following Aite good old custom ol
saving the hest for the last. "The
Jollies of 1921" made the last nlerht
of their show just a. little brighter, a
little bulller and a littte better than
the first than which no preaterj
praise can be given. The final ver
dict of a show comes not from the
playwright, the producer, nor yet the
caustic critic, but from the audience;
and two eapaclty houses have sat
in Judgment on "The Jollies of 1921"
and pronounced It the superlative of
perfection.
Freeman T. Gosden. in charge of
rehearsals, gives a large, liberal lump
of the credit to the wonderful talent
found among the members of the
American legion boy of Winston-Salem
and to the singing and dancing
anilities of some two dozen of the
city's prettiest and loveliest girls. And
the boys and girls taking part in the
show are positive that the hulk of
"the credit belongs to Director (lusden,
and to bin co-worker, Churlus J. Cor
rell, musical director. All are cor
rect. liirector (losden has had the best
talent in the land, though most have
had little or no stage experience; but
it has been largely due to, his untiring
efforts, his Moiling patience with first
try misses, and his keen Insight and
knowledge of folks and the right way
to handle them tor best results, that
sends "The Jollies of 1921" Into hap
py history holding the highest honors
of all home talent shows.
. If ears alone were to Judge, the
minstrel iiart would take rank in Im
portance, for the songs and token,
changed a little from Wednebdny
nieht. went over with all the snap
and go of an aggregation of profes
sional. But If eyes pass Judgment.
Oh Baby! The palm passes right on
to the dazzling ilancey, deliriously di
vine, and delightfully done by those
frivllous flappers, those fluffy flossies,
those frisky fairies! Pome three or
four changes of costumes, and each
change brought forth a more gorge
ous srray of striking apparel than
had gone before.
John C. VV'hltaker, In whose capa
ble hands the legion placed the busi
ness management, wants The Journal
to shower his thanks on Luther Fer
rell for his able assistance; Mr.
Vaughn-Lloyd, Mr. Klmel and Mrs.
Hekard for their splendid coopera
tion: Tommy Hlum for the beautiful
deroratlons and the sailor and soldier
statues, H. T. Casey, stage manager
at the auditorium for his masterful
help and deff handling of the scenes:
Mrs. J. L. Graham for her tireless
energy in aiding so f althtully; Ray
mond Taylor for his generous pub
licity, and Chief Special Officer Brun
ner for his kindness in volunteering
to guard the valuables in the dress
ing rooms while the boys and girls
were on the stage.
It Is to be hoped that Gosden and
Correll will come to us again. They
are both likable, meetable fellows,
besides being artists of highest cali
ber. They're the sort you like to take
into your homes and have 'em meet
the folks. Affable, refined, cultured.
The Clyde Boiling Post was, indeed,
fortunate In dealing with gentlemen
of their type.

Chapel Hill. N. C. April 7. Nego
tiations are under way between the
University of North Carolina and
Clemsun College, for a football game
to be played in Chapel Hill .Septem
ber 24, and local athletic authorities
think arrangements can be made sat
isfactorily. Carolina's present schedule calls
for the first game on October 2 with
Wake Forest. Director of athletics
W M. Ketier and Graduate Manager
Charles T. ,Vo,ollen have both wanted
another game added to the schedule
and had tried unsuccessfully to find
one, but a recent inquiry from Clem
son has opened hopes again. The wo
Institutions have not met In foothull
since 1915 when Carolina won by
sninll score. It will be a hard game
for both teams, but tho Tar Heels are
especially anxious to have another
game at Chapel Hill Only Wako For
est and Virginia, according to pres
ent arrangement, will play on Ktu
erson Field next fall.
Announcement has been made by
Graduate Manager Woollen that the
Carolina-Davidson game will be play
ed In Wlnston-Halttm and thn Caro-lina-V.
M. I., game In Norfolk. Hot It
locations were left open when the
games were scheduled last winter.
The Davidson game has been played
In Wlnston-Salom for several years,
but doubt as to Its location next year
was expressed because of the poor
condition of the playing field. With

not be particularly dangerous In
North Carolina but for two facts,
both of them artfully set out:
First, that Mr. Holand V Beaaley,
late commissioner of publto welfare
of the State of North Carolina, is now
working for the International. Ths
company says that it affords them
"peculiar pleasure ts announce that
Mr. Holand F. Bcasley, lately com
missioner of public welfare of the
State at North Carolina, has been add
ed to the staff." The announcement
goes on to state , that Mr. Bcasley
came to Texas. Investigated their
proposition thoroughly, etc., before
accepting a position with them and
that he has unbounded faith in the
company-
Heeond, the announcement goes on
to state that "Mr. K. C. Williams,
vice-president of the company, who
gained his Information at first hand
by actual experience, is another North
Carolinian.. The International, there
fore, feels In some degree a personal
relationship to the public of the Old
North State."
From information reaching his of
fice, Insurance Commissioner Stacey
W. Wade Is convinced that many
thousands of letters carrying this
propaganda have come Into the State
during the past week. Copies of these
letters have reached the Insurance de
partment from achool teachers, minis
ters, social workers, newspaper men,
real estate dealers, lawyers and
others. The letters vary tilightly In
form.. Mr. Williams, who says that
he practiced law for twenty years In
North Carolina, takes care of hla
brethren of the legal profession.
Mr. Wde states that, the Inter
national Is not licensed to do business
In North Carolina and that no con
tract which the company may make
would be enforceable In any court in
North Carolina, Until the company
submits a full and complete state
ment to his offtce and Is properly in
vestigated as required by the law of
the state. Mr. Wade earnestly re
quest of all citizens of the State to let
this stock, and all similar stock, se
verely alone. The company is seek
ing to do business in North Carolina
in open and flagrant violation of thn
law and the fact that two North
Carolinians are officers of the com
pany, serves to make the company's
criminal operations all the more reprehensible-
The company promises a rash divi
dend of 4 1-2 in April, but Its fi
nancial statement, dated March 17,
1921, contains nothing substantial up
on which to base such a promise.
The Insurance department regrets
the necessity of making this state
ment, especially airre the company
appears to be very proud of Its "per
sonal relationship to the public of the
Old North Blate," but It has no choice
In the matter, since the company is
trying to do business in North Caro
lina in violation of the law. Mr. Wade
feels that If the proposition were on
the level and the company's prnsnects
all that Messrs. Beasley and Williams
claim for It, they would not be afrlad
to show their hand and submit to an
Investigation at thei hands of the of
ficials nj their home State.

be met from this source without
touching the other sources of revenue
in North Carolina. In addition to
these automobile taxes, the State col

amount of which is already due, and
gets additional money from license
and franchise taxes. In 1922 It will
