Charleston. S. ('.. April 2f).— (A 1 ) —I
The entire South Atlantic area has!

al Foreign Trade Council was told
today by Erich W. Zimmerman, pro
fessor of commerce and lesourves fit

“Instead of producing raw muteri-1
als for export, the South Atlantic)
area has learned to manufacture these)
crude products of its soil into highly
finished goods. This has had the in-1
| evitable tendency of partially with-j
Molding from the export market the i
commodities which have always fur
l nished the bulk of its foreign com
merce, Prifetisor Zimmerman said.
"On the other hand, the finished:
products of the factory are as yet j
largely sold at home. The relatively j
small portion which finds its way to |
foreign markets is still as a rule sold 1
through the older established trading)
centers of the North. How soon, or
to what extent this situation will
change is hard to predict.”
In summing up the situation in the |

TO PRISON FOR LIFE I
Accused of Having Dynamited Mine
So He Could Collect Insurance on
Own Life.
Pikeville. Ky., April 2D. — UP) — i
William H. Turner, on trial here j
charged with the murder of two min
ers and defrauding an insurance com
pany of $89,000. was given a life im
prisonment sentence by the jury in
Pike County Circuit Court today.
The jury deliberated three "hours
and forty minutes, part of that time
last night and the remainder today.
Turner was accused of having dy
namited, the mine of which he was
superintendent, in order to collect in

fied, were killed, and Turner disap
peared after tlie explosion a year ago,
and the unidentified body was be
lieved for a time to be his. The
Turner family collected the insur
ance.

had engineered the insurance fraud,
and that the actual explosion took
place while he (Turner) had gone
for mild to tamp down the dynamite.
He taid Tope urged him to flee and
that he wandered around the coun-
finally going to Europe. The
State claimed it had never been able

NEW CHANCE FOR LIFE

.Man Who Killed High Point Officer
Given a New Trial.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, April 29.—( A *)—.1 oh ii
Whitcher, once convicted of murder of
a High Point police officer, yeeterday
was given a new chance for life by
tlie State Supreme Court, when he
was granted a new trial on bis appeal
! fiom the judgment of the Guilford
| county superior court.
The Supreme court's decision, wrlf
j ten by Chief Justice Stacy, was that
Judge Schenck, trial judge, had erred
in refusing to allow .he defendant
to testify on the admissibility of the
confession he wan alleged to have
and it was on those grounds
thnr a new trial was granted. *
Whitener was accused of having
killed Officer Fred G. Claywell In
High Point on June U, 1925. when the
policeman, with others, had attempted
to break up a gambling game in
Whitener* s hodse. Whitener was
wounded in the same gun battle in
which the officer was killed and for
•several weeks lay in a hospital under
heavy guard.
It was while a helpless prisoner
that Whitetaer made the confession
"gainst him, and he
[contended tPnt he made it ,under
duress and that his statement of his
own guilt was false.
During the trial, his counsel of
fered to place him on the stand, in
! the absence of the jury, to testify to
| fnets which, it was claimed, would
I prove the falsity of the confession.
Judge Schenck states that “the evi
dence of the prisoner, had he been al
lowed to testify and had lie been be
lieved, would have rendered the al
leged confession inadmissable."
In the case of J. H. liolick vs. the
City of Charlotte, the judgment of the
trial judge in Mecklenburg superior
court, overruling the defendant’s de
murrer, was affirmed and the cane
must proceed. The court did not
pass upon what it terms ‘‘other in
teresting questions involving the suf
ficiency of notices,” but merely upheld
the overruling of the demurrer, which
it terms a “speaking demurrer.”
bILL BILL APPROVED
Would Give Commission Control Over
Air Communications.
■Washington, April 29.—UP)—Ignor
ing President Coolidge’s warning to
Congress against establishing any
more independent federal agencies,
the Senate Interstate Commerce com
mittee today approved the Dill radio
bill providing for a commission to
have control of air communications.
The commission would have su
preme power in its field, the com
mittee having eliminated a provision
for appeals to the courts to eompel the
issuing of broadcasting licenses or to
prevent the rescinding of them.
The committee also proposed that
I the commission have five instead of
three members on salaries of $12,500
each.
The bill’s proponents will seek to
have it passed at this session, hollding
that recent court decisions in a Chi
cago case has made immediate legis
lation imperative.
The White House disclosed recent
ly that President Coolidge was in
clined to favor a bill already passed
by the House, placing the control of
radio under the commerce department
instead of an independent commis
sion.

SOMETHING NEW IN
NORTH CAROLINA
A John G. Campbell Folk School
Started in Cherokee and Clay
Counties.
Raleigh, April 29.— UP) —The Brass-1
town community of Cherokee and
Clay counties, in the far southwest
j ern end of the state, is the scene
|of somefhing new in North Carolina
I education and co-operation, according
to staff members of the State depart
ment of agriculture, recently re
turned from a study of what i*; oc
curring in the Basstown community.
In that locality has been estab
lished what is known as the John
C, Campbell Folk School, modeled af
ter the folk high school of Denmark,
which is characterized as “an experi
ment in adult education.”
“Education is not a process to be
measured by academic grades and de
gress,” according to the Danish con
ception. “The humbler tasks of
farms, shop, and home have a cul
tural value more fundamental than
that of books. Education should not
discredit such • labor, but should give
it meaning, breadth and depth.
Brasstown was selected for this ex
periment, in the words of a depart
ment of agriculture agent, because it
is “a section poor, but capable of ag
ricultural development, a natural cen
ter for an area of some fifty square
miles. It is on a good highway,
within eight and one-half miles of
Murphy, the terminus of two rail
roads, and is about 100 miles from
the markets of Asheville, Knoxville 1
and Atlanta. i
“Its greatest asset is its citizen-1
ship, a strong group of small farm
ers with a high reputation for in
tegrity. Ninety-seven per cent, are
landowners.
“Their desire for a school which
will help the country is partially in
dicated by the following pledges made
by 116 citizens: Over SBOO in cash ;
locust posts; telephone build
ing logs: building stone;
and native shrubs, trees and bulbs.
A total of 1.405 days of labor, 397
with teams, is likewise pledged dur
ing the first three years of the school.
Three hundred eighty-eight days of!
labor, yearly, without time limit, has j
a!«o been pledged. In addition, 30
acres of land as a site has been of
fered the school.”
As one of the initial steps in this
“enterprise in co-operation,” it is
said, a savings and loan association
has been organized in the community.
Sixteen men and women joiued the
association at the initial meeting, aud
subscribed 18 shares of stock. This
is (Me first savings and loan aaeocia-1
tion to be organized in this section
of North Carolina.
CRIME COMMISSION
SUBMITS ITS REPORT
Thinks State and Individuals Can
Control the Situation.
Washington, April 29.— UP) —The
national crime confession after in
vestigations covering a period of nine
months has concluded there is no
universal panacea for crime but the
application of remedies with individ
ual states and individual citizens.
The commission’s attitude was set
forth by its d xecu s ve commmittee
which submitted a report through
Richard Washburn Child, chairman
of the organization, recommending
eeration of State commissions by
State legislatures or by private citi
zens.
Mr. Child reported the committee
had rejected a proposal for a national
crime survey believing it would be
impracticable. __

WE’RE ALL MOULDY
.SCIENTIST ASSERTS
Prof. Tissot Informs French Academy
Disease and Life Have This Source.
Paris, April 29. —Born pessimists
have another subject for lamentation
j since hearing the report read yester
l day to the French Academy of Sci
ence in which it was said that life
and all its manifestations are nothing
but mould.
Raising the ancient cry of distress,
“Vanity of vanities; nil is vanity.”
Prof. Tissot announced;
“All is mouldiness.”
Then he propounded the startling
theory, that upsets all biological no
tions hitherto cherished by scientists.
Prof. D’Afftonval, who communicated
Tissot’s paper to the academy, told
the latter his colleague demonstrates
that animals and vegetables are noth
-1 ing but organized mould and has suc-
I ceeded in dividing different species and
tracing them back to their respective
ancestral moulds.
Prof. Tissot says he has also discov
ered that mould is the orig : nal cause
of all disease as well as the source of
all life. He first worked to identify
various known viruses of infectious
diseases. The following clasification
was the result:
I Typhoid fever comes from the mould
of Indian corn, diphtheria from a bar
ley mould aud cholera from the mould
of certain mushroom fungi, measles
from lettuce, searletina and rabies
from carrots, exauthematie typhus
from oats, smallpox and cowpox from
potatoes, chicken pox from tomatoes,
aphthous fever from potatoes and ma
laria from rice.
One of the most important discov
eries claimed by Prof. Tissot is that
cancer is enused by a virus springing
from a mould in the human body it
self. while tuberculosis in the same
way develops spontaneously in the
human organism.
The professor attributes the virus
of syphilis not to spirocheles ns hith
erto* believed but to the ancestral
mould constituting the monkey.
The practical consequence of the
new theory, according to Tissot, is
that most diseases could be eliminat
ed by preventive measures. Cancer
and tuberculosis notably ought to give
way to approved methods of checking
the development of man’s ancestral
mould in himself.
Biologists are most interested in
Prof. Tissot’s revolutionary explana
tion of life—animal and vegetable—
by the development or organization
of ancestral mould from its genesis to
life in all its varying forms as it is
known today.
