The University of Chattanooga today awaited replies to invitations which It sent to colleges opposed to the "one year rule" proposing formation of a new "Dixie conference". The propos ed conference would be formed un der rules similar to the Southern in tercollegiate association with the ex ception of the "one vear rule" adopt ed by the latter at its recent confer ence in Birmingham and which caus ed the University of Chattanooga's withdrawal from its membership. Colleges invited included: Centre college, Danville, Ky; Mercer Univer sity, Macon, Ga.; Oglethrope University Atlanta, Ga.; Transylvania college, Lexington, Ky.; Howard College and Birmingham-Southern college, both of Birmingham. Ala.; Mississippi college, Clinton, Miss.; Mill Saps college, Jack son, Miss.; Furman University, Green ville, S. C; and Wofford college, Spar tanburg, S. C. These colleges, who voted against the one year rule at the Birmingham meeting of the S. I. A. A., were asked for their opinion on the proposed 'Dixie conference." Those behind the movement say that the rule forbidding freshmen to play would mean many of the smaller colleges would have diffi- iulty in putting athletic teams in the leld. Favorable replies, it was said, would probably mean inviting other colleges with small student bodies through out the south to dome into the new conference.

Millions of mothers keep "California Fig Syrup' handy. They know a tea spoonful today saves a sick child to morrow. Ask your druggist for genu ine "California Fig Syrup" which has directions for babies and children of a.11 ages printed on bottle. Mother! You must say "California' or you may get an imitation fig syrup. Adv. (Special to the Star.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. The death of Rep. Henry D. Flood, of Virginia was a shock to people who knew him well. Two years ago he was robut oi health, and quick of mind. Scrapping was easy for him. It is said that he died from over work during the last Virginia campaign. Mr. Flood was the real live wire of the old Thomas S Martin political machine of the Old Dominion. He moved and had his being with that organization, and the first sign of trouble was met with determination by him. As a state leader he was able aggressive, and daring, and his superb courage made him fearless. Many North Carolinians who attended the Baltimore convention, when Woodrow Wilson was nominated, remember the vigorous answer Mr. Flood made to Williahi Jennings Bryan who chal lenged the right and propriety of Thomas F Ryan, the New York-Virginia multi-millionaire to sit with the Virginia delegation. In former yearr and campaigns Mr. Flood had been a Bryan supporter of the most loyal sort His denunciation of Mryan at Balti more was terrific. The Democrats now plan to elect Rep. Arthur B. Rouse, of Kentucky, to succeed Mr. Flood as chaiman of the democratic congressional campaign committee. Mr. Rouse has been in con gress many years and Is a xery able, enthusiastic democrat. No North Caro linian stands any show for that job for the reason that party leaders wani It to go further west or north. If a Tar Heel were considered Rep. Pou would Le the one, for he is known na tionally as a good fighter, and an able legislator. The Kentucky man seem? to be the favorite just now. While Mr. Flood was a fine state leader he lacked something that might have helped him to win in a nation wide congressional fight. His office during the last campaign was practic ally run by two young fellows whe never were democrats. One of then was born in England or the District of Columbia and had had no afflllatior with the party, and the other was a Pennsylvania republican Much good work can be done by the chairman of the congressional commit tee. It is an important assignment if taken seriously. The democrats are very much en couraged over the ' present outlook They hope to win the next congress and if some unexpected turn to help the republicans does not come before the election. Thousands of people who voted with the G. O. P. last year ape very sore now. MANY SEEK WARSAW POSTMASTER POSITION WARSAW, Dec. 14. There are a number of aspirants for the local post mastership to succeed the present -in-cumaent, D. E.

Demonstrating Its belief in the Caro linas and lending an endorsement to Carolina-made goods, the Efird chain of dry goods stores throughout the South are featuring goods made in the Carolinas, according to J. B. Efird, head of the firm. The Efird stores, numbering thirty one, are doing a busjnesr5 running into the millions of dollars,' says Mr. Efird. Through the combined buying power represented in a large chain of stores, the Efird company is able, says Mr. Efird, to obtain large quantities of merchandise at reduced rates, which, the head of the firm declares. Is re flected in prices at the stores' retail counters. Mr. Efird says his 'firm's motive in buying Carolina-made goods is two fold. With the manufacturer at the Efird company's back door, high freight rates are obviated, with the resultant lowering of the original cost. The second motive, Mr. Efird, says, has its origin In the Efird company's desire to be an active participant in the commercial activities of the two states.
