THE SUN, RUTHERFORDTON. N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1912 DPP0SEDJOHftZING IT IS FORBIDDEN BY THE RULES OF THE VARIOUS COLLEGES OF TH& STATE. GET REPLIES TO INQUIRES The Condemnation is in No Way Meant to Prejudice the Case of the Young Men Now on Trial In This State. Raleigh The people of North Car olina are opposed to hazing in the colleges of North -Carolina, for from It evils have resulted in the past and there is a fear of evils in the future. While this is true there is no pur pose on their part to prejudice the case of theylning men who are un der bond for trial in the matter of the death of young Rand. That death was a deplorable one, and from it there has come a sharp attention to the matter of hazing. It is that which the people desire to have ended, so that from it there can come no bru tality or tragedy. That hazing is an evil is shown by the rules of colleges against it, and the people demand an enforcement. In Teply to an inquiry as to their views on hazing sent to a number of gentlemen replies have been received. Among these is the following from Mr. George ' Roundtree, a prominent attorney of Wilmington. His letter in part reads: To the Editor: I received your let ter, but I w.as so pressed with mat ters of immediate business that it was impossible for me to answer it as re quested. Of course all right minded people deeply regret the shocking tragedy at Chapel Hill, but it must be appar ent to everyone that there was no element of viciousness and that it was a most unfortunate accident. It. is "true that the accident would not have occurred had not these young men engaged in "hazing"; and it seems to me to be also true that whatever may be said upon the advantages of "hazing" as a means of correcting a certain "freshness" or bumptiousness on the part of some young men, as an abstract proposition, public opin ion in North Carolina reprobates the practice, and it is, I understand, ex pressly forbidden by the regulations of the university. While this is true, I depreciate the excited discussions of this question pending the trial of these young men. It seems to me that, while the matter is sub judice, there should be nothing said or done that could prejudice the decision of the cause. Authorize Issuance of Bonds. Greensboro. By a majoritry of 82 the voters of Morehead and Gilmer townships, embracing Greensboro au thorized the issuance of 200;0i00 in bonds as the first movement in ad vancing a projected line of railway to run from Lynchburg, Va., through this state and to the South Atlantic coast. The survey for the road has been made from Lynchburg to a point in Chatham county, North Car olina. The bonds voted carry a pro vision that in the event the road is not built or Greensboro is not given a connnection - with the Seaboard Air Line or ' the Norfolk Southern rail road within three years they shall be turned back to the respective town ships. Fail to Nominate Candidate ' Greensboro. The Republican con gressional convention of the fifth dis trict in session here failed to nomi nate a candidate for congress but re ferred the selection of a candidate to the district executive committee named at the meeting. Chester D.

The Guilford solid delegation of 28 marched out of the convention bolting because Chairman Benbow ruled; that the counties having only one delegate were entitled to have the full strength cast on all ques tions, v Fire Does Much Damage. Maxton. A fire alarm was turned In on account of a small blaze in the rear of J. C. Wiggins' grocery store and shoe shop, but before the hose couldbe gotten to the scene the flames had jreached a tank of coal oil. The smoke was so dense It was almost Impossible to get near the fire, and the only thing to do was to prevent the flames spreading to the adjoining wooden buildings. This was done, and while the three . brick stores in the block were destroyed nothing beyond those and their contents were burned. . - .,' What We Never Forget according to science, are the things as sociated with our early home life, such as Bucklen's Arnica Salve, that mother or grandmother used to cure our burns, boils, scalds, sores, skin eruptions, cuts, sprain's or braises.

Chiicfran; Cry -FOR FLETCHER'S O ASTORIA FARMER GETS LESS, BUT He Has to Pay More "for What He Doesn't Raise. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has just announced that notwithstand ing the increased cost of living among the people as a whole there was a greater decline in the prices paid to farmers from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1 this year than there was last year. The average farm prices of the Im portant crops (corn, wheat, oats, bar ley, rye, flaxseed, potatoes, tobacco, cotton and hay, which represent about three-fourths of the value of all the country's crops) declined 7 per cent, during the month, while In that time last year they declined in price only 4.4 per cent., and during the last four - years the decline in price aver aged 3.8 per cent. The average of farm prices on Sept 1 was 2.8 per cent, lower than on that , date last year. Prices paid to farmers on Sept. 1 this year, with comparison of prices paid on the same date last year, fol low: Articles. 1912. 1911.

Tar Heel Bull Moose Bolts. Roosevelt supporters bolted at Greensboro from the 5th district Re publican congressional convention and held a second convention. Reso lutions were adopted denouncing the action of a "few Federal postmas ters" and it was decided to sever all connection with the Republican par ty. A call for a general mass con vention to nominate a progressive candidate for congress was issued. C. D. Turner, of Orange, was named by the Republican convention and the executive committee was authorized to name a congressional Candidate. The split was precipitated when Chairman John T. Benbow ruled that delegates present from any county- .had a right to cast the full vote of that county. Improve Farm Conditions in Catawba. Monday, October 2 there will be a meeting of the farmers, merchants, bankers, land-owners, and business men who are interested in the im provement of farm conditions in Ca tawba county, in the court , house at Newton.

Chicago, 111., and got the promise of $1,000 for the employment of a county com missioner of agriculture. There are no strings to this money, except that an experienced man is to be em ployed, who has a complete agricul tural education. Reports Are Most Gratifying.
