NEW YORK TIMES LAUDS OUR PROGRESS IN EDUCATION The Times Writes on “North Caro, lina’s Good Roads ond Schools ” Tribune Bureau ' - Sir AValter Hotel Raleigh. Sept. ft.—While the ques tion of North Carolina’s educational status was being abruptly jerked into public notice by the assault made on i'ae state's educational system by I)r.’ E. W. Knight, of the I’niversity of North Carolina, in which he said that! he was “going to quit lying” about; the status of educational progress ini the state and “present the facts,” the j progress which North Carolina has! been making educationally was being la tided in file north by noue other than the New York Times, through its editorial columns. ; For only a few days previous to; the ultra-highbrow outburst of Dr. • Knight before a Raleigh civic lunch eon c’ub in which he regaled the state for being at the bottom of the first of states in t'.ie number of school days provided for the children state —although in reality it is fourth from the bottom in this—and deplored the self-satisfaction and coinp’neency i which greeted the knowledge of this condition, the state’s progress in edu cation was being launded in the north j by file so-called “Bible of the Intel lectuals”, the New York Times. It is also interesting to note that the editorial in The Times was based on a news story written by The Tribune correspondent from the facts and fig ! ures presented in a recent edition of . “School Facts,” issued by the State department of education, and in which educational progress was linked up | with the growth of the state’s highway system. T’ue editorial, which appeared ! in the issue of the- New York Times j on July 2fith. was entitled “North | Carolina Roads and Schools* and iii , part is as follows: “North Carolina not only has pro grossed amazingly during the last j decade or more, but has seen to it j that her advance has been made j known to an otherwise ignorant world, j J What she has done lias, indeed, de-; i served recognition. One of the re-1 ! suits of her emphasis on the building jof roads, for example, has recently j ! been pointed out by the State fcuper-, intendent of public instruction. He remarked that th* quickening of tbx* 1 rural school system of the state had j been made possible by the road pro gram started in 1021. Good roads i facilitated t’lie consolidation of school i districts. They also increased the j attendance at school by making pos sible the establishment of bus lines to carry the children to and from school. As a result, many small schools not efficiently operated could i be abolished, and more attention was concentrated on developing the com bi netl schools. The number of schools for whites having two or more teadi ers increased threefold, and the num ber of schools for negroes having two or more teachers increased eightfold. “The dependence of the educational ; system on the status of the roads has J not always been obvious to the advo i cate of good roads throughout tlie country. To be sure, the foresight 1 and energy which North Carolina has | shown in carrying out an improved j educational program are as important ] as the wisdom in planting and ex ecu t ■ ing the road program. But it is be ! coming apparent that we are turning I again to roads as great factors in the j economic and social development of | the country. George Washington, who ' was one of file few Americans to think in terms of empire, understood this a hundred and fifty and more years ago and throughout hts life of | public service tried to make’his eoun-j j try then realize that roads were the skeleton of the state and that on good j j roads depended the economic progress I j and the welfare of the people.” j The balance of the editorial deals I Federal State and County Officials Caught in Dry Raid Charleston, S. C., Sept. s—Thirty three men were under arrest or J on bond here today as a result of the j sunwise raid of prohibition officers on the “Hell Hole” section of Berke ley County and portions of Charles ton County. More than 100 en forcement officers, deputy United States marshals and coast guards- . men, under the direction of M. O. I Dunning, Prohibition co-ordinatkir j for Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, took part in the I raids. They wi’l continue through Monday and Tuesday, and longey if it is necessary to clean up the sit uation, Mr. Dunning said. Besides the 33 arrests the raiders, i destroyed 17 stills, 830 gallons of I moonshine whiskey, and 34.400 gal lons of mash, and confiscated five automobiles. Twenty more arrests aie to be made tomorrow. f Charleston, S.

I So it is that without in anyway de- j fending the state for what it has not done or should have done in educa- ! tion, many people are of the opinion, j taking all things into consideration, I it is unfair to draw bald comparisons with what other and far richer states have done in education, but Chat it is better to consider, as Miss Eliza bet Kelly said, “AVhere we started, I where we are now and where we are going.” When considered from this point of view, the results are not as disappointing as Dr. Knight wouM have the people of the state believe.

His problem, will be to conserve valuable assets to meet clftims- The intrinsic value of the bonds of the company was not changed by the receivership.

County Is Made Dry. j OTHER ARRESTS WILL BE MADE j Thirty-Three Persons Ar- j rested Sunday Not All for Whom Warrants Al ready Have Been Issued. Chfyrles'.on, S. C., Sept. 6. —(/P)— Thirty-three alleged violators of the j liquor law and seventeen stills. 34,-] 400 gallons of beer, 865 gallons of] whiskey, and five automobile liquor { transports were taken in a series of j raids on the “Hell’s Hole” district of South Carolina Saturday night and Sunday by federal agents. Included in the men arrested were federal prohibition agents, state and local officers., rum runners, bootleggers ond distillers. Officers from South Carolina, Georgia and Florida took part in Kie raids. The coup was engineered by M. C. Dunning, co-ordinator for the south east, who wish dozens of “under cov er” prohibition agents swooped down on the Charleston and Berke’.y county fiats without firing a shot. ' Yesterday churches in the vicinity offered up thanksgiving at their , ser vices at news of Lie cleaning out of the seat-of the illicit liquor traffic. Mr. Dunning started preparations for the. raid Thursday at Savannah, j Ga., where he gathered thirty agents aboard the coast guard cutter Yama eruw. Proceeding to Charleston the men were dispatched in groups of twos and three with written instruc tions. Today the federal prohibition agents and the state and local officers caught in the net face charges of bribery, pro tection of rum runners or distillers, and conspiracy to violate the prohibi tion act. Officers said early today that at least twenty additional warrants would be served on men engaged ip the manufacture and sale of liquor in i this section. The raids wfll continue j until Berkely county is dry] Mr. Dun-j ping said. The “Hell’s Hole” region of Berkely i county is a sparsely settled lowland of dense forest growth interspersed j with swamps. So intensive have the j operations of the liquor runners be come that citizens of the county sev eral months ago requested aid of the southeastern co-ordinator in cleaning out the section.

Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Sept. (5. —The failure of the G. Ii- Miller Company, one of the biggest real estaate and mortagage bond concerns in the United States, calls to mind the fact that under the present Capital Issues adopted in 1025, no bonds or securities of the G. L. Miller Company, or any other company doing business on a similar basis, have been permitted to be sold in North Carolina by the | State Corporation Commission. It j was pointed out by A. J. Maxwell, I securities commissioner, that the G. |'L. Miller company issued bonds cov- I ering the entire face value of a • building project, instead of bonding j to only 50 to 60 per cent of its real value, as is generally done, in order to sufficiently safeguard the interests of the bondholders. “Although it is not likely that the bondholders of the Aliller company will lose heavily in the present re ceivership, it does demonstrate that the company was operating on an unsafe financial basis, leaving no margin whatever for depreciation and shrinkage of properties. And this fact we believe substantiates the at titude of the commission in refusing to approve those bonds and securi ties which are not properly safe guarded. “It. is not our purpose to depre- 1 cate in any way the value of real es- j fate securities issued on a proper basis- The objection to the class of J securities issued by the G. L. Miller • company was that in many cases they issued bonds to cover the total cost of a given property, covering both land and construction as well, leaving no sustaining equity of falue as a protection to the bondholder. “There is no better class of securi ties issued than bonds against real estate when the bonds rest upon a proper and conservative proportion of the total value of the property, which in the opinion of the Corpora- 1 tion of the total value of the proper-j ty, which in the opinion of the Cor- j poration Commission, should in no' i case f exceed 60 per cent of the con servative value,” Mr. ‘ Maxwell de clared.

Fight On Evolution and Blue Laws To Be Opened in State By HENRY LESESNE International News Service StafT Correspondent Raleigh, Sept 6.—While North Car olina’s “monkey” fight never quite reached the size of Tennessee’s, it’s going to be done all over again. The evolutionist-fundamentalist controver sy will wreak its fury on the 1027 legislature, which will convene ip Jan uary. That is, unless what political prog nostigators miss their guess. These wise buys say that certain solons are uniting for the expressed purpose of bringing the evolution question to the fore again. D. Scott Poole, better known as “The Gentleman from Hoke,” has an nounced his intention of re-introduc ing his measure which would bar the ; teaching of evolution in North Caro lina public schools.

Salida Colo., Sept. f>. — UP) —-Oujt of confusion following the derailment, of the Scenic Limited of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad near Granite, Colo.. yesterday both railroad and county officials were driving today to bring order and compile accurate lists of the dead, variously estimated at from nineteen to twenty-five persona, *1 Thirty-eight injured were in the Denver & Rio Grande hospital heee. The accident occurred on a sharp curve nine miles below Granite when the giant mogul engine pulling a trahl of fourteen cars was derailed, plunged into the Arkansas River and carried five coaches into the stream with it. J Most of the deaths occurred in the two foremost day conches which crash ed into a cliff telescoping as they struck before plunging into the iey ■ waters. Unofficial scores told of five addi tional dead which could not be co*» firmed by railroad officials. Officials of the Rio Grande hospital jj here as well as attaches to the cof oner’s office who have checked the’ list of dead, vary with the list issued by the railroad company. Dr. George Oarsman, senior attending surgeon at the Rio Grande hospital, declared to day he had talked with Mrs. Rosalie Mntjoyiek after her arrival in Salidq, and also with Judge Isibell. son of one of the listed victims of the wreck, who had escaped with but slight in juries. Dr. Oarsman also listed Mrs. Ollie Perschbacker as one of tbe dead, .< although company officials failed to list her on the dead or injured list. On the arrival of a relief train from Salida doctors and nurses found most of the wounded lying on the river bank, while the half dazed assembled about camp fires. Many were suffering only from shock after, being thrown into the icy waters. Motorists passing near Lie seeno of the wreck along the Pike’s Peak ocean-to-ocean highway, gave what as sistance they could before the arrival of the relief train. Pathetic scenes were enacted as frantic mothers, husbands and wives attempted to search the wreckage. Other survivors apparently dazed ran about unable to tell their names for several- hours.

The majority of the victims were young people. T'lie film showing was being given in an upstairs hall. It is alleged there was no proteetiT? ’screen around' the projecting appa ratus, and when this took fit® it caused n partial blocking of the door, which was the only means of exit.

Twenty-nine bodies have been re covered from the ruins this ahernoon, most of them charred beyond recogni tion. jtSm "Witnesses say it was impossTMp to aid the trapped victims, and would-be rescuers stood in agonized helplessness while those blocked from the exit screamed for aid. Escape from the hall was made im possible for many by the jam of struggling humanity at the door. Many of the survivors were injured by hurl ing themselves down the stairway leading from the door to the street. Owes IJfe to Radio.
