A Little Singing Carolina Inn Is the Scene of Gathering Os Descendants of William Horn Battle If you are well along toward old age—say, as far along as sixty—you have no doubt said as 1 have, and we have both no doubt heard other aging persons say: “It looks as if you never see your friends any more except when you go to a funeral.” You go to the church and the cemetery, and during the rites and as you go back home you reflect upon how deeply you had become absorbed in the daily round of your life, and how you had let time pass, until it mounted up to a large part of a lifetime, maybe twenty, thirty, forty years, with your hardly ever seeing, and hardly ever even exchanging a letter with or telephoning to, this mar. or woman whom you used to know well. But it is likely that your reflection and self-reproach lead to little or no change in your conduct. The daily round has got its grip tight on you and before long you will be going to another funeral and saying the same to yourself all over again. My old friend and University classmate of 1902, Ivey F. Lewis, now living in Charlottesville as a retired University of Virginia professor of biology, is one man whose thoughts on this subject led him to do something about it. He decided he would ' have, not as an incident to obsequies but just for the purpose of ! everybody’s having a merry time, an assembly of relatives, and ! husbands and wives and sons and daughter of relatives, and a few close friends with no ties by blood or marriage. So, at mid day dinner in the Pine Room of the Carolina Inn this last Sun day there came together a company of some of the deseendants of William Horn Battle. (W'lliam Horn Battle was the founder of the' University | Law School. He taught law here from 1845 to 1868 and from j 1876 till his death in 1879. He was the father of Kemp Plummer j Battle, President of the University from 1876 to 1891, professor of history from 1891 to 1907, and emeritus professor from 1907 till j his death in 1919.

When I was at the Grail banquet Thursday evening at the Carolina Inn I was reminded of a narrow escape I had when being initiated into the order one night about 25 years ago on a University athletic field. We neophytes were taken to the center of the field,! blindfolded, faced in differ ent directions, and com manded to run at top speed. As we ran, a Grail member ran behind each one of us administering whacks with a paddle. After we had run what seemed a long way a Imember left standing in the middle of the field shouted the command to halt. Our blindfolds were then removed. The night was a dark one, but not too dark for me to see a football goal 'post a yard or two in front 'of me. It gave me a turn. If I the man in the middle of the field had shouted a second later than he did, 1 would have smashed into the goal post. With that paddle wield er behind me I was travel ing at my best speed. It would have been quite a col lision. ♦ * * A University student from Ahoskie says nobody knows how his town got it.wname or what it means or where it came from. Some people claim it is an Indian word meaning “old dead horse ly ing on a hot dry plain.” Anybody wondering about it may as well also wonder why Kinston isn’t Kingston, there being many Kingstons in the U. S. but only one Kinston. But that won’t pu*- zfe people who go by the World Almanac, which does not recognize the existence of a Kinston, not even in Lenoir County. The 1956 edition of the World Alma nac and Book of Facts, as did previous editions, gives the name of the North Caro lina town as Kingston. ♦ ♦ * When Mayor V’oit Gilmore of Southern Pines was here i last week I asked him the result of the dispute between his town’s women and its | new Colonial Store, i “Right now the women (Continued on Rage 2) Chris Gillin Winner Os Athletic Honor Chris Gillin, son of U.
