STUDENTS VOTE TO
SUSPEND MAGAZINE
* * - - i
Were Not Able to Agree
With Faculty of David
son College as to Who
Would Edit Publication.
l - _
Davidson, Jan. 18.— 14*) —The diffi
culties encountered by Davidson Col
lege recently over the editorship of the
college mazgazine were brought to an
end today when the studeuts voted
to discontinue the magazine for the re
mainder of the college year.
At the spring elections the motion
affirmatively voted by the students
provided an editor for next year will
be elected and the publication of the
magazine will be resumed next fall.
This motion was presented by the
student council of the institution, and
after a brief discussion was carried
almost unanimously, little unpleasant
ness having appeared at the meeting.
The difficulty arose-some time ago
when the faculty deposed C. F. Monk,
editor of the magazine because the
magazine carried a short story which
the faculty deemed unworthy. The
students then elected T. C. Barr, ex
change editor, and author of the story,
to the editorship. This selection
was unacceptable to the faculty and
Barr* therefore was ousted.
The story causing the agitation was
entitled “Dim Morning,’' and dealt
with the modern boy and girl, depict
ing scenes at the house party the past
summer. The story was said to have
been based on actual occurrences. It
discussed “petting" in a very frank
manner.

CHARGES COOLIDGE
WITH VIOLATING LAWS
Senator Norris Says He Demanded
Letters of Resignation to- Be Ex
ecuted at Will.
Washington, .Tan. 16.—President
Coolidge was charged in the Senate
today by Senator Norris. Republican,
of Nebraska, with violating the laws
of the land through secret under
standings with his appointees to in
dependent commissions.
Speaking in behalf of resolutions
for the investigation of the tariff com
mission, Senator Norris declared that
the President belonged to the group
that believed the commission should
be used for partisan purposes, and
that he had used his high office to
misconstrue the letter and spirit of
the tariff law.
He charged that Mr. Coolidge - re
appointed David J. Lewis, Democrat,
of Maryland, to 4he commission for
“political purposes but in bad faith.”
Before the appointment was made,
the Nebraska senator said, the Presi
dent requested Lewis to give him a
blanket letter of resignation which
the President would be authorized to
execute at any time. Although Lewis
refused to give tlie letter, the senator
added, the appointment was made.

FEDERAL WAREHOUSE ACT
Protects Fanners From Losses From
Fraudulent Warehouse Receipts.
Raleigh, Jan. 16.— (A*) —The federal
warehouse act, providing for the li
censing and inspection of public ware
houses by government officials pro
tects farmers from losses due to un
sound or fraudulent warehouse re
ceipts, declares the United States de
partment of agriculture, in a depart
ment bulletin just received here.
The law’ applies to warehouses for
the storage of cotton, grain, wool, to
bacco. farmers’ stock of peanuts, late
crop potatoes, broom corn, dry edible
beans, dried fruit, and cane aud maple!
syrup. , ■ *
“In almost every stale where agri
cultural products are placed in pub
lic storage,” the department says,
“losses sometimes totalling millions
have been reported. During the past
season, losses sustained iir two states
by farmers who placed their grain
ip Storage in public warehouses were
exceedingly heavy, being estimated at
more than $200,000.”
The department citdT as a typical
instance of such a loss that of a farm
er who stored ,his year’s crop w’ith a
warehousopia’p.; He received a ware
house receW'fJlYljjch h e so ld to a grain •
dealer, /vyWp!*tfce dealer presented
the arttUfalled for the delivery
of the grain, the warehouse was emp
ty. The dealer then fell back on
the farmer from whom he bought the
receipt. The warehouseman was, of
course, prosecuted, but, points out the
bulletin, that did not pay the farmer
for his grain,
“A review of the storage losses of
the past ten years sows that in prac
tically all cases the losses would never
have occurred, if the warehousemen
had been operating under the United
States warehouse act.”
Under the law’, the department
says, when a warehouseman applies
for license, tlie warehouse and the op
erator are investigated, and the ware
houseman is required to file a bond
before a license is granted. After
being licensed, the warsehduse and its
accounts are inspected periodically t,o
show whether the requirements of the
act are being met, and especially to
make certain that the products cov
ered by receipts are actually in the
warehouse.
Tlie law, points out the bulletin,
is not compulsory, and the depart
ment is urging farmers to prevail up
on tbeir local warehousemen to be
come licensed.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Easy at Decline of 5 to 12
Points With Active Mcnths Selling
Lower.
New York. Jan. 18.— UP) —The cot
ton market opened easy today at a
decline of 5 to 12 points, active
months selling about 7 to 13 points
net lower in the first few minutes
-under realizing, a little Southern sell
ing, and selling for a reaction.
Rather easier Liverpool cables were
a factor on ffae decline, while there
was probably some local, selling in the
belief that the advances of last w’eek
had eased the market’s technical posi
tion. Offerings were comparatively
light, however, aud the decline was
checked by. renewed covering around
19.75 for May and 18,23 or October,
sufficient to cause rallies of 5 or 6
points from the low’est and give the
market a steady undertone at the end
of the first hour.
Reports of rains in the South were
considered favorable, but new crop
positions were relatively steady dur
ing the early trading.
Cotton futures opened easy, March
20.35; May 19.75; July 19.05; Oct.
18.23; Dec. 18.05.
PARRISH WOULD FIGHT
FOR JIMISON’S CAUSE
Volunteers Services in Case the Char
lotte Man Is Attacked B«fot% Su
preme Court.
Raleigh. Jan. 17.—Newly
lawyer Thomas D. Parrish, whose cre
dentials were attacked by members of
the Wake bar when he appeared be
fore the Supreme court, but were
withdrawn, has volunteered to fight
the Tom P. Jimison battle before the
court this week, if Jimison is attack
ed.
Mr. Parrish won his victory with
out a struggle when the Wake lawyers
got in his way. He is anxious to de
fend the right of Tom Jimison to prac
tice. To date no charges have been
made against the Charlotte man. There
are members of the 115 class who will
appear hbre Monday, January 25, for
examination, who have been attacked,
but Tom Jimison is not among them
and it is entirely probable that there
will be nb assault.
The names of the young men who
are to be opposed will not be given to
the papers until the cases have been
called and disposed of. It is known
that the Jimison name does not adorn
any protest. The only charge which
likely would be made against him orig
inated in Charlotte over possession of
some whiskey. But it is universally
agreed that the former labor leader
and Methodist minister owes to the
state no more On that account. |

DROUGHT WAS BOON
TO CANNING INDUSTRY
Shelby Grocer Canned Goods Con
sumption Has Increased Hundred
Per Cent.
Shelby, Jan. 17.—What the late la
mented drought cost Shelby and Cleve
land county is slowly but surely re
vealed.
C. S. Young, of the A. Blanton
Grocery company, reported Friday
that the increased -consumption of
canned goods in Cleveland county this
fall and winter, which could probab
ly be traced as a direct result of the
drought, was 100 per cent.
Which means, if you please, that
where there was eaten one can of the
good old garden stuff in 1925 two.
cans are being eaten today. And
what that means .In terms of dollars
and cents, multiplied by the collective
appetite of Cleveland county, would
shock the local imagination.
“We canned virtually nothing,
said Mr. Young “for the simple rea
son that there was nothing grown to
can. We should make up for it this
year by adopting the greatest diversi
fied planting program we have ever
undertaken.” N / I

TAR HEELS OPPOSE
NORRIS RESOLUTION
j BEFORE COMMITTEE
ttfl
to Use Ten
nessee River for Water
power Development at
This Time.
BROWN
ONE SPOKESMAN
He Tells the Committee
\ Delay Will Mean Big
Loss to Industry in North
Carolina.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The
Senate agricultural committee was
urged today by representatives of civic
bodies of North Carolina to sanction
immediate license of waterpower de
velopment of the Tennessee River and
its tributaries.
Delegations appeared in opposition
to the resolution offered by Chairman
Norris, which would prohibit the Fed
eral Power Commission from issuing
permits to develop power projects on
the Tennessee River and tributaries
until Congress has adopted a Muscle
Shoals policy. * -
Marcus W. Brown, of Asheville,
told the committee that postponement
of development on the Tennessee Riv
er would retard industrial develop
ment in North Carolina and Tennes
see. He declared that delay would
do “infinitely more harm to the com
munity than higher prices for power
that might be charged by private in
terests than if the government de
veloped the project.”
Senator Norris declared that he in
troduced the resolution because he
was opposed to turning over great nat
ural resources to private interests for •
their private gain and that he believ
ed cheaper power could be obtained in
the Southeast by development 7 of the
Tennessee River than is now produced
in Canada.
Mr. Brown said he beli«ved pas
sage of the resolution would deprive
the communities of the immediate
need of power instead of giving them
cheap power.
Mayor John H. Cathey, of Ashe
ville, declared that Muscle Shoals waa
like the poor, it will be with us ail
the time. . Muscle. Shoals , will never
be settled" al long as’lt is sh 'polities,"’
he declared.
He declared the life of the eommun
iities depended on power, and it was
not so much the question .of cost as
they most have it if industrial opera
tions are to be continued. Within
the last few years, he said, industries
valued at $250,000,000, have been
halted and they were directly depend
ent on power. If the resolution is
not passed, he said, the-necessary pow
er will be available within two years.
