NEWS AND VIEWS OF . THE TAR HEEL STATE r ? r? ? (Hy At ark Taylor Oh-) Representatives of city, county, state arid federal governments were invited to take part in a three day meeting in Chapel Hill, Tuesday, for the purpose of searching for the best measures of combatting crime in North Carolina today. Various measures, w6re to be dis cussed concerning cooperative modes of banishing crime, ' privileges of of ficers and organizations of police de partments. The best authorities on the crime situation in the state were scheduled to participate in the discussions. Among them were: Gov. 0. Max Gardner, R. R. Talbert, president of the N. C. Association of Police Chiefs; President Frank Graham, of the University of North Carolina; Lieut. Gov. R. T. Fountain, Senator J. W Bailey, Attorney General Den nis G Brum mitt, Associate Justice George W. Connor and W. J. Brog den of the Supreme Court: Judge J. J. Hayes and Judge I. M. Meekins of the federal bench; Jurges M. F. Barnhill, Wilson Warlick and Mich ael Schenck of the Superior Court. E. B. Jeffress, chairman of the state highway commission ; J. F. Spruill and J. C. B. Ehringhaus, former so licitors, and Albert Coates of the U. N. Law department is in charge. An Eastern band of Cherokee In dian- who live in the Plott Balsam and Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina, elected Jar rett Btythe, graduate of Carlisle, as their chieftain. Around 1000 votes were ea.-t in the election, about 200 being cast by women. This was the first ; : 'ction in the history of the Cherokees, in which the women were allowed to vote. The duties of Chief Blythe are to administer the land and . money af fairs for the .>,131 Indians enrolled. He maintains an office at the Cher okee School. Labor Day was generally celebrat ed in Xorth Monday in a very quiet manner. The major celebrations in Western North Carolina were held at the American Enka Plant, Asheville, and at Canton. The majority of people have for gotten just what Labor Day means. It was started in the U. S. by the Knights (if Labor in 1882, in the cause of improved labor conditions, by large parades in the streets and iti' resting demonstrations. Since the labor conditions are no longer "im proved." citizen have forgotten the time-honored day in regard to cele brating: instead they regard it as merely a day of relaxation, perhaps it is better that way. l". Benton Blalock. general man ager (?!' the X. C. Cotton Growers Co-operative Association, announced Monday that distribution of a cot ton picking fund of $50,000 had been started l>y that association and ap proximately $25,000 of it is already in the mail. In connection with the cotton sit uation, Gov. Gardner has announced chat no cotton will be grown on the farms opt rated by the state of Xorth Carolina in 1032. This may aid the cotter farmer to some extent. Construction of a series of State Prison camps to take care of the prisoners who are to work the roads of the <tate, began in McDowell county Monday morning, according to W. W N'eal of Marion, District State highway commissioner. The camp will be built by non-cor.vict labor at an approximate cost of $20, 000. It will be of brick and concrete, surrounded by a steel fence, giving the appearance of a stockade. It is expected that the catvm will be com pleted within fiO days Other camps are to bo erected in Burke, Catawba, Cleveland and Haywo ! counties in the near future. The camp in McDov '11 county is the first to be erected s'-;ce the state took over the roads, for operation. James S. Goode of Waynesville and E. M. Hale of Sylva, have organized a company to edit and publish a weekly, democratic paper in Waynes ville. within a few weeks. It is said that (ioode will be editor and Hale business manager. Both men are vet erans in the newspaper world and highly '-:tpable to publish a fine paper. A large, new hospital With all modern conveniences and improve ments was dedicated to Hugh Gwyn Chatham, late universally loved and admired business man. last week. The hospital was presented by J. B. Ivey, president of the Western North Car olina Hospital Board. I The hospital is located at Elkin and is said to-be one of the best in the state. Public schools, universities, col leges and nrivate schools are opening ?over Xorth Carolina this week and many of them report a better en rollment than that of last year. There is still money in this state for , education. j ! "North Carolina can increase its , annual cash tourist crop a minimum j of ?6, 000,000," said Charles P. Clark, SAVE YOUR EYES By 1 Dr. John. TV Campell, Secretary North Caro[iifq' JSfatt Board, j>f I Examiners in Optometry. * Persons who use a "night light" ei- . ther from fear or some other equally! unwise reason would do better to :>mit its use, as perfect darkness is, more conducive to the attainment of' sound and refreshing sleep. Other causes of sleeplessness may be. the ' shining into the window of nearby street lights; the light from passing cars or from nearby houses. "| In cases where the light cannot be removed, screens which are opaque and do not permit the light to pass chrough should be so placed as to keep the outside lights from reaching the eyes of the sleeper. It should not be ncccsaary to state that the attempt ' to screen out the light must not inter- , fere with adequate ventilation. The lids of the eyes are closed in sleep but they do not form a perfect shutter, as some light is allowed to pass through them. Any light enter ing the eye will cause a nervous im- ! pulse which will be conducted by the ' visual pathways to the brain, thus i tending to excite consciousness. By ; this means an unexpected and unlook- j ?jd for enuse of sleeplessness is estab- 1 ished. | People who sleep in rooms facing ?he east are awaked early by the ris- ' ng sun in summer, and without doubt ; the sunlight caused some little annoy- : ?ince before the sleeper was awaken- 1 I'd. Bedrooms decorated in light col- J ors, with light painted furniture may ; 'ook pretty by daylight but they are aot so restful at night as those finish- 1 ed iii darker shades of green and brown, with dark furniture and trim- ' .nings. And then, too, better leave ut the "Night Light." INSTITUTE OPENS WITH ENROLLMENT LARGER THAN EVER i ( Continued from vaae one) erintendent of grounds and assistant supervisor of student labor; J. A.

Brevard Institute olfers opportun ities to many boys and girls that are not to be found in any other school. The students are enabled to work much of their school expenses on the school farm and in the kitchen. About twenty students remained at ^he school during the past summer and worked, raising and canning veg etables and fruits to earn money to apply on their expenses for the regu lar school year.
