The Chapel Hill Weekly
Chapel Hillians’ Here fords, Primped
And Preened, Will Be Auctioned Today
“I’m going to take five heifer* and Jack I,asley is going
j to take a bull to the cattle sale in Durban; on Friday,” Mrs.
Bruce Strowd said to me when we were talking over the j
telephone yesterday. !
The Friday she meant is today, the sth of October; the I
hour for the start of the sale is 12 boor; the sale is to be at the
Durham County Farm Home beyond Bragt.wr.. and the cattle
to be sold are Herefords. male and female.
1 never saw anybody more joyful than Hereford owners
about to sell their-Herefords. As the moment of parting draws I
near they are as ecstatic as a bevy of young girls going to a I
debutante dance.
They will go out in the foulest weather to feed and water
their Herefords; will stand off and gaze at them in admiration, j
calling their good points to the attention of whomever they ,
can lead into the pasture to look; will stroke them lovingly and
will frequently give a further demonstration of affection by
muzzling them cheek to cheek, an J then, consoled by a pocket
ful of cash, turn them over with utmost indifference to a
butcher.
Once upon a time I made remarks to that effect to an
acquaintance of mine with whom l stood looking at one of her
I cattle on the auction block. I
’’Nonsense,” she said. ”Th:s is a heifer and 1 am doing her
a kind service by helping to minister to her maternal instincts.
She will lead a happy life by having a dozen calves and giving
thousands of gallons of milk before she gees to the butcher.
F.ve: ybody's time is bound to come. Nobody, not even a Hereford,
deserves to live forever.”
1 suppose what 1 have said here w uld apply to owners of
otht-r cattle as well as Herefords. 1 just happen not to hear
anything al-out any breed but that one

Hurricane Flossy, moving
northeast from the Gulf of
Mexico last week, brought
North Carolina a heavier
rainfall than it had ever had
before in such a short time.
The State had been having
a bad drought over most of
jits area and, though it would
rather not have had such
a long and steady downpour.
Flossy did it more good
than harm.
In four days the rainfall
here in Chapel Hill was 3.54
inches, which is 7 per cent
of the normal fall in a whole
year.
The subject of wetness
reminds me that an import
iant reason why Chapel Hill
was chosen for the site of
the University was its plent
iful water supply. Not from
rainfall, however—nothing
is saitl in the records about
its being different from
other places in the region
in that respect—but from
springs.
A commission apponted by
the University trustees to
[select selected this one
m the fall of 1792. The lo
eality was called New Hojh>
Chapel Hill from a chapel at
a road crossing a hundred
yards or so south of where;
'the Carolina Inn now stands.
[The words New Ho|*e were
;drop|>ed and so the name
became Chapel Hill. It is
[said in Kemp I*. Battle’s,
History of the University:
"At the northeast corner of
the crossing was a chain!
of the Church of England,
a sad relic of the futile es-«
forts to establish a church
in North Carolina.”
A description of Chapel
'U'l. written by William R. ,
I Davie, chief founder of the
University, contains this'
passage: "There is nothing 1
more remarkable in this
plaee than the abundance of
springs of the purest water,
