Brevard on a special train and medi
cal aid was given them.

"Man Was Conscious That Death Was
Approaching.
(By Wire to the Morning Star.)
Louisville, Ky., July 10. Edward
Parrish Hopkins, former local superin
tendent of Bradstreet's Commercial
agency, died just after his arrival in
the Tenth Street depot today aboard
a Chicago train, of acute brain conges
tion. It is believed that in the mid
dle of the night he realized he was
dying, for on the back of an envelope
in the dead man's pocket was found
written these words: "Take my body
to 414 West Catherine street."
The coroner is investigating. Mr.
Hopkins was formerly in charge of
Bradstreet's offices in Knoxville and
in Atlanta. He was 36 years old.
SOUTHERN SOFT YARN SPINNERS
Advancing Price of Cotton is Serious
Problem.
CBy Wire to the Morning: Star.)
Charlotte, N. C, July 10 The Board
of Directors of the Southern Soft Yarn
Spinners' Association met here today
to discuss existing conditions. The sit
uation was considered so complex and
unsatisfactory in the soft yarn market
that the board decided. to call a meec
ing of the association for August 6th
at Asheville to discuss remedial meas
ures and take concerted action. The
iboard gave out a statement after the
meeting advising against selling yarns
short, and filling orders for prompt de
livery that do not show profit based
on present prices.
DR. MELL'S RESIGNATION.
President of Clemson Dictated to by
College Commandants.
(By Wire to the Morning Star.)
' Anderson, S. C, July 10. That Mil
itary commandants assigned to col
lege duty by the War Department con
sider themselves equal to the college
president in authority, or above him,
was one of the reasons given today by
Dr. P. H. Mell for his resignation yes
terday from Clemson Agricultural Col
lege. Dr. Mell issued a statement in
which he said that lack of clearness
Sn the college rules prevented the mil
itary commandants from realizing
that they were not the college presi
dent's equal in authority. Other rea
sons for his resignation were frequent
interference by the trustees with the
administration of the president's du
ties and their selection of faculty
members without sufficiently regard
ing the president's wishes.
The board refused to accept Dr.
Mell's resignation and called a meet
ing for August 12th to consider the
situation.

BRISTOL IS TRADE CENTRE
Whiskey Mien From Far and Near
Want to Locate There.
(By Wire to the Morning: Star.)
Bristol, Tenn., July 10. More than
100 applications have been received
here from persons in Southern cities,
including the dry cities of Tennessee,
who desire to enter the whiskey busi
ness in Bristol, Va. The Virginia law
provides that, no person except a qual
ified voter can be granted a license.
The only escape from this provision
is to form companies and name a 1
cal agent or manager, in whose name
the license may be issued.
A man who proposes to enter the
business cannot rent a building for
the purpose anywhere he pleases. The
court will determine whether the loca
tion is suitable and this decision will
be final. It is reported that certa-m
whiskey men here are in favor of
having the number" Of saloons limited
to , very few. . Tb council probably
will enact "regulations providing that
all saloons shall : close at night and
that there shall be no treating in sa
loons, and no sales except for cash
paid over the counter.

eighth inning of today's game between

the ball at Umpire Butler after dis
puting a decision. The two men then
clinched and players of both teams
rushed out on the diamond.
The Charlotte men went to the aid
6f the "umpire and the visiting players
resented it, causing ia rough and tum
ble fight which lasted only a few min
utes before the police and outsiders
parted the belligerents. Pitcher Aber
crombie was arrested and fined $25
and costs, and in addition has been
suspended indefinitely by the Presi
dent of the League. Butler is the um
pire, who was chased from the Sa

on the tariff mi At l t .

To nr't? naooi'nn
the first day's session.
I There was a great deal of specula
tion today among leaders in Congress,
who are not parties to the conference
as to what . will be done with these
items. Many members expressed the
opinion that the House would yield on
cotton and wool and the Senate on
gloves and hosiery in compliance with
the protectionists' idea of stand-pat-ism.
If this should be the outcome, it is
predicted that vigorous protests would
be heard in both the Senate and the
House from advocates of downward
revision. Some members went so far
as to say that an effort would be made
to reject the conference reports in
the event of "such a glaring instance
of upward revision."
The effect of amendments to the
cotton and woolen schedules in the
House was a very material reduction
of the existing duties. The Senate re
stored these by a decisive vote. On
the other hand the House advanced
the rates on hosiery and, women's
gloves far above the duties fixed by
the Dingley law, and the Senate de
clined to accept the increases.
Two sessions of the conferees were
held today. First began at 10 A. M.
and continued until 1:15 P. M. A re
cess was taken for luncheon lasting
until 2:30 o'clock, when the afternoon
session was begun. It was agreed
that these hours should all continue
through the conference. No hour has
been fixed for the adjournment of the
afternoon sessions, nor has the ques
tion of evening sessions been deter
mined. , Amendments were considered today
in their numerical order. When the
session adjourned until Monday, the
conferees had passed through the
chemical and earthenware schedules
and more than half way through the
metal schedule. All of the amend
ments in these schedules, however,
were not settled. Nevertheless the
conferees representing both branches
of Congress exnressed satisfaction
with the progress made.
The adjustment of the differences
between the House and Senate will
not prove so serious a task as is indi
cated by the large number of amend
ments. More than 200 Qf the amend
ments consist of mere phraseology.
There are less than 400 amendments
that represent opposing views.
Few members of the conference
committees are willing to place the
time necessary for the completion of
the bill in conference at less than ten
days.
The corporation tax amendment has
not been considered by the conferees
in any way. Nevertheless it was pre
dicted in Congressional circles tonight
that the proposed tax on the net earn
ings of corporations would be Teduced
in conference from 2 per cent, to 1
per cent.
"That has been suggested," said
Senator Aldrich, when asked concern
ing the report that a reduction would
be made in the tax. He said he could
not say what would be done. It was
reported also that the corporation tax
provision may be eliminated and the
House inheritance tax provision re
stored to the bill, but no confirmation
of this story could be had nor could
its origin be traced.

NEW HANOVER MAN PARDONED
Henry Howard Serving Time For Di

Excesses Other Notes.
(Special Star Telegram.)
Raleigh, N. C, July 10. Governor
Kitchin pardoned Henry Howard, of
New Hanover county, serving two
years on road for keeping a disorderly
house. The Governor says the pris
oner is a paralytii. The grand jury
last March in investigating another
case had the prisoner before it as a
witness as the case came from the
same locality as the prisoner.
After, examining several witnesses
this grand jury was so thoroughly con
vinced the prisoner was wrongfully
convicted that they requested the pre
siding judge to ask for his pardon. The
judge in recommending the pardon
states that the grand jury in his opin
ion made a thorough investigation.
The jury thought the prosecution of
the prisoner was Inspired by private
prejudice.
Gov. Kitchin declines to pardon Her-1
bert C. Crow, serving six months in
jail and $150 fine for selling whiskey
in Pender county, also J. O. William
son, Columbus county, serving two
years for bertayal of a girl under
promise of marriage.
A striking exposition of North Car
olina's rapid progress in public edu
cation is given in the annual report
of Secretary C. H. Mebane, of the Ed
ucation Campaign Committee, just
completed. It shows a school fund
for the year of $3,294,231, a- gain of
$431,013 over the year previous; raised
by local taxation, $650,739, a gain of
$104,607; bonds issued in local tax
districts, $308,552, a gain of $65,008.
The report declares that all records
were broken during the 90 days of
March, April and May in the matter
of carrying local tax districts in that
132 were carried within that time, giv
ing a total of 152 carried jiuring the
year in 44 counties. There are 900 lo
cal tax districts in the State at this
time distributed one each in six. coun
ties, two to five each in 33, six to -'ten
each in 16, eleven to fifteen each in
11 and 18 to 47 each in fourteen coun
ties. There are four counties having
no local tax districts. Secretary Meb
ane's report shows that during the
year 38 speakers were sent into va
rious part of the State to fill 75 ap
pointments in furtherance of the edu
cational campaign. The report calls
special attention to the fact that one
whole county in the State voted a
special tax for improvement of schools
that being New Hanover. No other
county has yet adopted a special tax
for the entire county.
Every day brings a new set of men
here from various parts of the State
to appear before the Corporation Com
mission seeking relief from what they
plead is excessive tax assessment
made on corporate excess of corpora
tions they represent. There were
heard today T. B. Turner, representing
the Mayodan Cotton Mills; Allen Ruf
fin and J. J. H. Webb, the Eno Mills;
and A. J. Haygood, for the Consoli
dated Ice Company, of Charlotte.
