Carlton Turrentine, Courteous,
Hard-Working:, Weil Behaved,
Is Slain by a “Floater”
LOSS GRIEVES PRINTERS
Carlton Turrentine, 27-year
old negro who served as janitor
at the Orange Printshop, a
faithful worker, cheerful, cour
teous, held in high esteem by
Chapel Hill people of both races,
was shot to death on the north
sidewalk of West Franklin street
at about half past five o’clock
last Saturday afternoon. The
killer was Eugene Woods, a
negro “floater” who came in
'from South Carolina a few
weeks ago and got a job as a
laborer on the new post office.
Woods will be charged with
first degree murder in the re
- corder’s court next week and
wHI probably be tried in the su
perior court in Hillsboro in De
cember.
The killing was done on only
the most trivial provocation, if
indeed there was any provocation
at ail. A little while earlier the
two men had been in Sellars’
barber shop. Turrentine was
talking with somebody else when
Woods broke iti and called him
by an offensive name. The
Chapel Hill man protested, but,
according to witnesses, made no
move toward any sort of physi
cal attack. Woods left the shop
and walked off in the direction
of Carrboro.
About ten or fifteen minutes
later he Was seen coming back
along the 'Sttgth tfde -of the’
street. The crowd that had at
tended the CaroHna-Tulane foot
ball game had not yet got out of
town, and automobiles were
streaming westward. Woods
dodged in and out among the

The Ashing season at the l/ni

tomorrow, Saturday, October 30.
During the last afternoon on
which people may fish there un
til next spring the Carolina-
Fordham football game will be
in progress, and it is thought
that there will be a larger at

than at the lake,
“H has been a successful sea
son,” said H. E. Thompson of
the Consolidated Serviced Plants
yesterday. “Not only have many
Chapel Hill people gone to the
lake for Ashing, but there have
been many visitors from Dur

some more stocking this year-*
put in about 6,000 young bream.
There Is every reason to loo#
forward to a fine fishing season

Bride Pats on Wedding Gown Again no that
Her Good Friend Will Not Be Disappointed
William Parsons and Miss
Esther Mebane were married
last Saturday evening in the
Presbyterian church. After the
ceremony there was a reception
at the home of the bride’s pa
tents, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Meb
ane. For around two hours a
jolly company seethed through
the house, felicitating the spark
ling brunette and Her blond hus
band, consuming sherbet and
cakes, and admiring the silver
and glass and china and all the
other gifts.
Charles Mangum, Jr., V 'who
lives next door to the Mebanes’
and has been a devoted friend
of Esther's for years, had not
been able to get to the church,
and*he came in late for the re
ception. When he arrived, the
bride had gone upstairs to
change into her traveling at
tire, amid the bustling-about and
the haste that always prevail
on such an occasion. Just about
to slip into her tailored suit,
which she held in her hands, she
was sitting on the edge of the
bed when-her aunt, Mrs. Cum
mins Mebane, entered the room
and said:

Merry Gathering at Dinner for Mrs. Page;
Governor Presents Tropiiy Cup to Champion
An atmosphere of banter and
neighborly good-faeling, com
bined with juicy steak and other
tasty articles of food, made the
dinner in honor of Estelle Law
eon Page Monday evening a
thoroughly delightful affair,
feme two .hundred men and
women gathered around the
tables in ihe Carolina Inn ball
room to do honor to the woman’s
national golf champion. They?
heard her praised not only for
her consummate skill as a player
but for her spirit of good sports
manship, and at the end, when
Governor Hoey presented her
the trophy cup, they arose to
their feet and gafos her a re
sounding salvo of applause.
It was the birthday of her
husband, Julius A. Page, and he
was made to stand up and re
ceive a greeting.
Toastmaster Robert B. House
set the tone of the evening’s talk
when he said that this .was a
neighborhood party and that for
the occasion the Cjiapel Hill
neighborhood was extended to
take in "tho modest little suburb
of Durham.” He set a good ex
ample to the subsequent speak
ers by .telling a whimsical little
yam about golf. There was con
tinual jesting; compliments were
paid to the champion and to her
parents, Dr. and Mrs. R, B. Law
son; and there was a charming
absence of the stiffness and
high-flown language that often
make a “testimonial dinner” a
terrible ordeal.

The wedding dress and veil
had been carefully folded and
put away. *
The bride smiled, laid aside
the suit, and walked to the chest
of drawers. She took out the
ivory satin and cream-lace gown,
and then the veil, and she
smoothed them out with great
deliberation. The Negro maid,
just then engaged in packing a
bag, came to her aid and togeth

much care as they had given to
the same task three hours be
fore. And so, presently, the
bride was dressed exactly as she
had been when she walked up
the aisle of the church.
She descended the stairs, and
there in the hall, among her
family and a few lingering
guests,, was her friend Charles.
She flung her arms around him
and kissed him, and for a min

Some time ago I lamented in
these columns that Rev. Charles
E. Maddry had brought me a
cane from South America and
before he reached me decided to
give it to Dr. MacNider— this
decision being the result of Dr.
MacNider’s assurance that it
would be wasted on me whereas
he, Dr. MacNider, knew enough
about canes really to appreciate
it. Mrs. Staab read about this
interception when the paper
reached her in Europe, and in
a card which she sends me from
Meran in the Austrian Tyrol
she says: 'To console you I shall
try to bring you a nice strong
Alpine walking stick. I am here
to improve my health; will be
home soon.” It happens that
Dr. MacNider is a good friend
of the Staabs’, and I am running
a grave risk in giving him this
advance notice about the stick.
I am very much afraid that he
will arrange to see Mrs. Staab
before I do and give her the
same sort of poisonous talk he
gave Mr. Maddry.

The University football team
has been engaged in hard prac

the announcer has been doing
any practicing on the pronun
ciation of the name of the Ford

This is a name that will prob
ably have to be spoken often, for
its owner is exceedingly active.
He was all-American center last
year and was described by
George Barclay, who scouted the
Fordham-T. C. U. game, as “one
of the best pivot men in the
game.”

football picture has undergone
a change ainpe then. The Tar
Heels, greeted on their arrival
in New York three weeks ago
with predictions in all the news
papers that they were in for a
drubbing, beat New York Uni
versity 19 to 6. Last Saturday,
again picked to lose, they beat
the widely lauded and the much
heavier Tulane team 13 to 0. In
consequence, people hereabouts
are distinctly hopeful about to
morrow’s match.
Fordham and Pitt played to a
scoreless tie two weeks ago, and
Pitt ranks near the top of the
national list. Fordham won
from Texas Christian by one
point last week, and Texas
Christian also ranks high.
There has been a great build-up
for the Fordham line as "seven
blocks of granite," and the
metropolitan press speaks ad
miringly of Fordham’* great
success with forward passes. So
it is no wuudet theft, as Cwoisw
