I -7 , SEEK POCAHONTAS; FIND BONES OF FIFTY Excavators at Gravesend, England, Dis cover* Human and Animal Remains Amid Refuse. Gravesend, England, May 30.—An at tempt was made here today to discover in the churchyard of St. George’s the remains of the-Wirgician Princess, Poca hontas. Tradition has it that she was buried in the chancel of the church but that after a lire the body was re-mterred in the vault of the Curds family? Local antiquarians were convinced that the body would be found under the stone recording William Curds and Polly Curds, but when it was removed today it was discovered that on top of the thirds’ coffins, the bones of about fift,y persons, with' the remains of many ani mals and a considerable quantity of rubbish f and scrap iron, had been dupmed. To avid vulgar curiosity it was de cided to observe the strictest secrecy and to begin the work in the early morn ing. So at (5:30 o'clock Mr. Gaston, with Canon Gedge, the rector of the church: Sir Arthur Keith. Conservator of the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons; AY. P. Hyecraft of the Brit ish Museum, J’hilip Franklin, F. R. C. S. and James Van Allen Shields of the English-Speaking Union, gathered in the graveyard. Very quickly they discovered how far local tradition had erred. Instead of revealing the reinternment of all that was left of the Princess, whose alien b’ood and romantic history might have inspired respect, even in the careless seventeenth century, they found a jum ble of human and animal remains tlpit betrayed brutal callousness. It is quite possible that Pocahontas' bones are somewMiere in the heap. The skull may even be identified by its measuemeuts, but it will be a long task, so Sir Arthur Keith went baek to town and left Mr. Pyecraft on guard. It was a gruesome sight here this' af ternoon to see workmen drawing up, from a bault fifteen feet deep, bucket load after bucketloau of human skulls and hones embedded in brown earth, which were piled in heaps around the tomb. A crowd of idlers were peering through the railings of the churchyard and women at the winds of neighboring houses were watching the operations through field glasses. Mr. Pyecraft. sit ting 011 a tombstone, was eyeing a skull, with a scientific mien and taking its measurements. "This is hardly what I expected.” lie said, referring to the extraordinary con tents of the pit. “I thought we should find a mummified body in a coffin. In stead I find the remains of all sorts of persons pitched in anyway, and if those of the Princess are among them the best we can hope for it to identify her skull. i should be able to distinguish it at a glance. It would be broader and heav ier. with wider cheek bones.” As it was, Mr. Pyecraft seemed to find consolation in having discovered some interesting speeiments, and he expressed the opinion that they .ought not to be re-interred, but should be preserved in a natural history museunw I*.v evening the bottom of the pit had been reached, but of the Princess' re mains no trace hail been found. There are. however, a considerable number of skulls yet to be examined, and that of the Princess may be among them. If not. the excavators will have to con sider whether they should ask permis sion to search elsewhere. N. C. T. WILL MEET NEXT IN GREENVILLE. S. U. L. H. Craig, of That City, Clutscn Gram!

Salisbury Post. Judging by the plain spech of the Up lift editor in tin* last week’s issue of that publication, and a lengthy editorial in the Concord’ Tribune of Wednesday, there is considerable dissatisfaction over the building of a paved road from Albe marle to Charlotte, crossing Cabarrus some distance below the county seat. The Uplift says that the strong point in the highway law. winning universal support, was "the feature of linking up the coun ty seats of the several counties of the state in a scheme of dependable roads, in all season." Neither of these Cabarrus publications believe the adopted policy is following the letter or the spirit of that provision. The lower road is a wee bit nearer from Albemarle to Char lotte. leading directly into Charlotte, therefore more important than the coun ty-seat to county-seat road via Concord, which from Concord to Albemarle is to boa soil road, the money being spent to hardsurface the newer- and more direct road to Charlotte. We ipay not understand the situa tion. but if we do the thiug is nothing less than an outrage. Truth in Advertising Slogan of Cloth iers. Chicago.

ADVOCATESLIGHT WINES AND BEER Action Means That ' New York State Has No State Dry Law.—Pinchot Criti cises Smith for Action. Albany, N. June 2.—The Mullen* Gage prohibition enforcement bill! is dead. Governor Smith killed it'last night with the few strokes of a pen necessary to affix his signature to the legislative repeal bill adopted four weeks ago. lq announcing his action the Governor called for “common sense" modification of the Volstead Act by Congress which would fix the alcoholic content of per missible beverages at a isiint that would make-possible the sale of beer and light wines in stall's that want them. This action to npi»eals from many sources for action that* would start the ball rolling toward modification of the Volstead Act is counted upon by his sup porters to make hint a formidable bidder for the Presidential nomination on a “liberal” platform in 1024. * I’inrhot Criticises Smith. Harrisburg. Pit.. June 2. —Every boot legger and every "red" will be encourag ed by tin* action of Governor Smith, of New York, in repealing the New York State's prohibition enforcement measure. Governor Pinchot declared today in a statement in which he promised that "whatever any other state -has done or may do. Pennsylvania will stand by the constitution and the laws of the United States.” ' Want Wisconsin Co Follow Suit.

Federal Government View Unchanged. Washington, June 2, —While-the fed eral government policy relative to piat hihition enforcement in New York in view of the repeal of state enforcement law remained to be determined, indica tions today were that it would take the form of ti determined drive to uphold* the constitution and federal law in the state, despite its refusal to aid. Although such a course might even necessitate the depletion of prohibition forces elsewhere in order to concentrate a greater force in New York it was said in official quarters to present only alter native to continuing the present staff there with 'flu* knowledge it probably might be unable to enforce the law rig idly alone. GOV. SMITH SIGNS BILL REPEALING Ml LLEX-GAGE ACT Strikes Keynote' for Return of Wines and Beer by State Laws. Albany. Jiune 1. —Governor Smith this evening signed the legislature's bill wip ing the Mullcn-Gnge state prohibition en forcement act off the statute books. And he went, further. Acceding to the urging of his friends that he strike it keynote in a campaign for the return of light wines and beer, he denounced the one-half of one per cent, alcohol bev erage provision in the Volstead act. as "tin' work of fanatical drys” calling on Congress to modify it to a “common sense” 'maximum, and then leave each state free to set it figure below that maxi mum if it so desires. "1 yield to no man in my reverence and respect for the constitution of the United States and I advocate nothing which will infringe upon the provisions of the 18th amendment,” the governor said. "It is nevertheless a fact that the definition of an intoxicating beverage contained, in* the Volstead act is not an honest or a common-sense one. It is impossible to divorce from the public mind the impression that the definition of an intoxicating beverage as contain ing not more than one-half of one per cent, was written by the fanatical drys in defiance of the general experience of and of actual fact. It seems to me that common sense, backed up by medical opinion, can find a more scientific definition of what constitutes an intoxicating beverage. "Such a definition shou’d be adopted by Congress as a proper and reasonable nniondmeilt of the Volstead act' and a maximum alcoholic content should be prescribed by Congree which would limit all states to the traffic in liquors which are Tn fact non-intoxicating within the meaning of the 18th amendment. Sub ject to that limitation each state should thereafter be left free to determine for itself what should constitute au intoxi cating beverage* States which then wished to limit traffic to beverages Con taining not more than one-half of one per cent, of alcohol would be free to do so and those which desired to extend the traffic to the maximum limitation al lowed by federal statute would be equally free to do po.” Do you know that there is a common superstition that a two-dollaiv bill is ’“unlucky?” Gamblers do not like to 'take oue or to include one iu a bes. and a good many persons who find them 'in their possession/ mutilate them, in tlie •belief that the,y can in that way dispel the evil influence that the bills ejkert — a strange fancy, the origin of which we cannot learn. This is by .way of in troducing the report that the Treasury officials ate talking of doing away with the two-dollar bill, not because of the superstitious connected with it but be ■cause they think it an unnecessary piece lof money. The two-dollar bill may fol ' low tlis? two-cent piece into oblivion and * for the same reason. CONCORD IN NAMED RECEIVER BV JIM BOYD FRIDAY NIGHT M. L. Cannon, of This and J. xK.

THE NURSING PROFESSION Is Finding Its Place With Otfier Stand ardized Professions. lluleigh. X. C.. May 31. —The nursing profession during the past fifty years has- been gradually crystalusing and now is finding, its place with other well stand ardized .professions in education aud ser vice. Miss Jane Van l>e Yrede. director of Nursing Service, Southern Division. American Red Cross, declared today in addressing members of the North Car olina State Nurses Association, in ses sion herpy “The national organization of nurses,” she continued," comprises about forty five thousand members. State laws reg ulate to a greater degree its practice in practically all the states of the country. Its three national organizations, main tain three headquarters in New York city are being considered in flit* activi-, ties of other large associations in health. “Two recon't large endowments for schools of nursing, corrected with uni versities. indicate that- m the field of ed ucation the profession has arrived on an equal basis with those of law. medicine and others. There uro now some twenty universities and colleges offering courses in nursing education. "The fundamental problem, however, facing the country and for which the pro fession lias been built up, is the more in telligent and adequate care of the sick. This responsibility is one which should not devolve upon the nursing and medi ical .professions alone, but in which they should provide the leadership and direc tion. Caring for the sick should be tRe responsibility of the public at large, and should be demanded as one t)f our con stitutional rights. “The professions concerned in the care of the sick have failed to integrate their contribution 'to the public mind in such away as to provide participation in ser vice and financing facilities for the care of the sick.” ENGAGE WALTER FISHER FOR SPECIAL DUTIES Has Been Secured to Assist in Fight Against Armour-Morris Merger.

Statesville Daily. We have a hunch that opposition to the Ku Klux is beginning to pinch some of the politicians who stood with the Rluckers in the Legislature and defeat ed the unmasking measure.

We have one Klueker- —or one ctaimer as a member who refuses to af firm or reny—on the bench to the dis credit of the State, and we want to be sure that others who have lined up with that organization do not get into'office in disguise. IN AND ABOUT THE CAPITOL Something About Dr. Brooks.—Our Sys tem of Improved Highways. Raleigh, May 31 (By the Associated Preass). —Dr. E. C. Brooks, state super intendent of public instruction, who has been suggested as successor to Dr. W. C. Riddick, resigned as president of North Carolina State College, is a man of large physique and a smiling sac one of the best, known educators in the South. “The Doctor*' was born fifty-two years ago in Durham county, and since be be came old enough to instruct and vote, he has always been a Democrat and teacher. He is the , son of Mr. aud Mrs. Edward J. Brooks and was prepared for college at Bethel Academy, in Lenoir county. Trinity College was the scene of the superintendent’s freshmen, soph, junior and senior days, a diploma being award ed him in 1894. It is reported among older Trinity students that “the Doc tor" studied hard while in college. Anyv way, he is a member of l’hie Beta Kap pa. Not satisfied with his education, after graduating aud assimulating knowl edge among students for several years, Dr. Brooks was among those present at Teachers’ College, Columbia University, in 1013-1914. In 1900 Dr. Brooks was ppfncipal of Kinston graded schools. From 11)00 to 1003. he presided as superintendent of the Monroe graded schools. The fol* lowing year, he was rural school super visor and secretary of the Educational Campaign committee, in the North Car odlina department of education. The next twelve months fo.uud him engaged as superintendent of the Golds bors graded schools, and at the end of that time ho remained until 1007. when lie became professor rrf education at Trinity College, holding this post until 1919. In 1006 he became editor of “North Carolina Education."’ The State Teach ers' Assembly had him as president in 1013-1014. while the State Educational Commission found him oue among its number. Dr." Brooks became state director of the National Educational Association in 101$ and during tile same year, Davidson College conferred upon him the honor ary degree of Doctor of Literature, Trin ity following in 1020 with an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. “The Doctor” has nothing to say on the subject, but his friends say he ob tained much of the ability he has shown in manipulating his progressive educa tional program for the state through the general assemblies while he was a mem ber of the Durham board of aldermen and a leader in civic organizations. He has served as.vice president of the Dur ham Building and Loan Association, member of the executive eomiqjstefcM.Of the Durham Public Library, and a 'mem ber of the Durham board of education. "Woodrow Wilson as President” is one of the books he has written. Among others are “The Story of Cot ton." “Story of Corn.” "Eife of Braxton Craven.” “Agriculture and Rural Life Day," and “Education for Democracy.” I>r. Brooks is known as one of the most genial x of state officials. He smiles all the time —even during the sessions of the general assembly and at meetings of the council of state. He is a Methodist, married aiuL the father of several children. Three large stills, one having been discovered in Northampton county and possessor of the reputation of having turned out fifty gallons of • liguor an hour, are in the, old state museum, as visible monuments of the sharp eye of prohibition officers. State officials, believing in prohibi tion, are of the opinion the day even tually will come when stills will have become so scarce, people will have to visit the state museum to see them. - Rural School Supervision. Raleigh, June 1. —Miss Maud C. New berry. assistant in rural education of the United States Bureau of Education, who achieved a national reputation as a help-* ing teacher in Burlington county. New Jersey, has been secured for work in this state, according to announcement of Miss Hattie M. Parrott, assistant director of rural school supervision in North Caro lina. Thursday night. Miss Newberry will go to Currituck county as helping teacher, or rural school supervisor, where she will work out a program for the tidewater counties. This is the first time, it was stated, that any of the tidewater counties have added a helping teacher to the list of school of ficials. so the work doue in Currituck will be' the basis for similar programs in other counties of this section of the state.

Fla., June I.—Tottering into the lower house of the legislature shortly before the 1023 session adjourn ed sine die tonight, a grizzled negro of ante-bellum days was given the floor. Iu a hesitant voice the old man thanked the members for having passed the general pension measure.' under the terms of which he would have received compensation for his services in fighting for "Virginny and my Marstar.” ' The old negro w;is extolled in speech* es and the legislators broke into sing ing “I'm Going to the Promised Land." The members took up a collection for him. Then someone, becoming skeptical, inquired if the measure actually had passed. An investigation revealed it had died on the senate calendar. House members escorted the veteran to the senate, dollars were be stowed on him from all sides. / Epispotal Clergyman at Washington Kills Himself. Washington.

KITCHIN’S POST I Friends of the Lenoir Man Declare He j Wants to Make same In the state. I Raleigh, May 31.—Claude Kitchin’s illness for so many weeks prior to his death today had pcetty nearly settled the succession to the national leader until a few days ago when Speaker John G. Dawson of the 1023 lower house let it be known that be is not an aspirant. There even a little doubt that tis the Lenoir representative chose to come out the district would elect him. He is the most |K»pular man in the Kitchin group of counties. The one man who would have divided this honor with him is almost constantly being put forward as a candidate for governor— Jmlge John H. Kerr. There are other strong men down there; but the Max Gardner of the east, has had the jump for years and he is now but a mite older than Kitohiu was when he jumped into Congress and began a career that became national. Mr. ♦ Dawson. according to the staunchest supporters that he hfis here in Raleigh, isn’t seeking the Kitchin succession. The Lenoir lawyer has elect ed to make his name iu his own state. He was here some days ‘ago and friends quote him as unfavorable to any cam paign for the nomination. The governor has no control over this vacancy: if he did he would name Dawson in a minute because nobody stuck to Mr. Morrison more than Mr. Dawson did last winter. But all that the governor can (to m a congressional vacancy is to call an elec tion. In time this will be done in the second.

Canada, Mexico, Den mark. Uruguay, Spain. Panama aiid Argentina, with one intf rpntional or ganization in the British Islfes, Aus tralia and South ’ Africa.

Fernald in News Letter. After a careful examination of the various advertising mediums through out the state it becomes apparent that many merchants and other advertisers are squandering money needlessly; yes. throwing it away.

This board is located in such n position that it is practically impossible for a motorist traveling at ten miles per hour to read any individual advertise ment. because of the fact that there -dre thirty-two advertisements on the board, which gives it the appearance of a jumbled mass of information with no oue advertisement standing out any more prominently than another. How many of these advertisements could be read by' the motorist going at the average rate of sliced? A great number of people who pass this board daily have beeu asked, bow many of the ad vertisement they have seen and remem bered and a great majority have'replied none, several, one. and still fewer, two.

The return would have beeu the same. Four Hthl For Theft of Salisbury Auto mobile. Salisbury. June I.—Two young wo men. Mrs. F. H.
