Secretary 'rif Staid Hughes has just conducted aLWitw England for an extension of the ninrntime zone within which the American author ities may search vessels suspected of liquor smuggling. The new zone gives th(> right to search a suspected vessel within "an hour's sailing distance from the American shore." meaning about ten to fifteen miles. We are told that this will make it much easier to control the smuggling. Hitherto rum-runners have been safe from interference so long as remained outside the three-mile limit. Lying just beyond that liuA they eould wait for a favorable opportunity to get their stuff to the shore. The Charleston News and Courier roundly congratulates Mr. Hughes on ar ranging this treaty holding that hp has the distinction of having struck an ex tremely powerful blow for the enforce ment of the liquor laws, “and for this ho deserves and should have the approval and gratitude of all who have been deep ly concerned over the flooding of the coastal regions of the country with for eign liquor brought in from outside." Indeed, continues the News, the im portance of the new pact is not confined to its efficacy as a means of ending liquor smuggling. It should also put an end to an issue which contained a real threat to good relations between this country and (ireat Britain, since Amqgi can resentment over the flouting of our laws by British citizens and .British ships has been rising steadily. Ail the more credit is due Mr Hughes because, when he first put it forward, his plan was generally laughed at on this side of the water, while on ihe other side it was greeted at once with a chorus of disap proval The treaty, it is foretold, is io bo an iagouited because it parries a proviso that British ships touching American parts can bring liquor into our waters under seal, to be used by them ou their return trip. This concession will, of course, give them advantage in ocean travel. American passenger lines do not like this part of the arrangement. C ARRIED JUST A LITTLE TOO FAR. Several days ago a report was sent from Chapel Hill to thy effect that four members of ihe Freshman Class of the State University had been takeu from their rooms by two masked men and flog ged. The report was given state-wide notice uud there Were ruraofs that the two maskers were to be sent from the University. And now comes tbe explanation that the whole affair was merely a joke and was sent' out from The Hill as such. The story first appeared io a University pa per ahd its writer made public announce ment that the affair Was merely a joke and he sent it out over the State as such. That seems to be carrying the joke a little too far. Hereafter the joke should be named or so displayed that none can mistake it. _ .1- PROGRESS FOR PROGRESSIVE PA- L - , PER. The Greensboro News has ju*t let the contract for 6f a *130.001) . home in the btHgftl of the business dis trict 4a Greensboro. In addition to the new hotae the manage uieut of the Ha pci announces that More than 350.000 will be spent for modern equipment aftd when completed the home will represent ah expenditure of about *2150.000. It is only right that The News should have a modern home In keeping with it • "■ v * -- • 'self. During the past tea years The Greensboro paper has established itself among the leaders of tbe South, and its home should be in keeping with the progress it has made in other lines. Greensboro is a progressive city, but it has no other agency that has done as much for pregrpssiveness. along sane lines as The News. CAPITOL BRIEFS. (By the Associated Press.) Raleigh.

MRS- WILLI VMS SUES HER HUSBAND FOR DESERTION Husband Claims Wile Was Untrue to Him and Names Man Whom He Recently .Shot. Greensboro. Noy, B.—C. 8.. \i illiams. of High Point. Southern railway engineer answering his wife's com plaint that he deserted her without cause, the matter being instituted in superior court, declares that lie went to their home in Spencer on the morning of last; August 4 and found ' Frank Brown. Spencer butcher, with her. He asked Brown what he was doing there and was told. “None of your •damned business." it is alleged in \\ il Hams' answer. Williams said lie got a ladder and looked in the window. Then, according to Williams paper, which was filed in the office of the clerk of superior court, he went to the home of a Mr Atwell and Atwell accompanied him to his home. They were met at. tin- door by his wife in negligee, who said Brown was not there, hearing a noise in an ad joining room, ie went there, and fearing Brown would shoot him. shot Brown. It. is - further alleged that Mrs. Wil 'iarns has sold the home at Spencer for about *4,000 and had the money for her own use- ' Mrs. Williams asks the court to make her husband support her. Brown was laid up some time from the wound. Sugar From Dahlias. Los Angeles. Calif.. Nov. 9.-lh the near future the dahlia is likely to become one of the chief sources of the world a sugar supply. A new formula for dar lia sugar has been completed at tile 1 Di versity of Southern California, and if it fulfills the present expectations it will probably result in thousands of acres be iug devoted "to the cultivation of a tu ber which has hitherto been valued only for its flower. The tuber of the dahlia contains not only a large percentage of sugar, bn* sugar one and a half times as sweet ns cane or beet sugar. Probably the great est benefit derived from this new discov ery of the commercial value of the dah lia tuber is that the sugar it yields is said to be quite harmless to diabetic pa tients. and this fact, taken in connection with the recent discovery of insulin, may brbiug cheer and new hope to thousands of invalids. Two Good Men Gone. Moores villo Kenterprise. Concord aud Cabarrus county lost two of their best citizens this week in the deaths of William D. Harry and Henry G. Ritz.

BY MARKUP MOB Airs, Josie Starnes, of Union ('(toady, Brutally Treated by White Men. Monroe. Nov- B.—The Montoe Jour nal says Mrs. Josie Starnes, daughter of Bob Irby of North .Monroe, a frail little ugoraut woman of not over twenty years ;of age. was jumped ui»n by a crowd of masked brutes in the form of men. beat en all over the body with some hard in strument. and left lying in the public - he contemptible and brutal deed took place on the Morgan road about a mile from town early in the evening as she was going from Braswell's store to the home of a Mrs. Flynn. She was acconii>anicd by a companion, Betty Flynn, whe ran when the men grabbed Josie. Mrs. Stnrnes say* that there were certainly as many as ten men and that they were robed in white gowns and caps. She also says that they said noth ing but beat here with something like a leather strap and then kicked her as she fell. Perhaps from terror, the Journal says, or for other reasons, she did not report the matter to the officers. Sheriff F«pvler heard of it only by accident while in a barber shop last Saturday night, just n week afterward-. Dr. Smith was called to sec the woman sonic time Inst week and found her suf fering a good deal, with bruises and signs of beating about the body, especially severe about the lower parts and a wound on one breast. A mystery seoin to hahg over the af fair that indicates that the work was done at the instigation or with Ihe con nivance- of someope with a personal in terest in the affair, the paper states. The officials accept! ns a fact that she was beaten by men wearing white sheet disguises. Further than that, they are at sen. The little woman does not bear a good reputation but that is beside the question. Any set. of grown men who would do a deed of this kind would burn vour house over your head and you in it- If the men were white robed as this woman says, it make no difference whether they are Kit Kluxers or not. «> far ns the guilt of that organization is -oueerned. It and it only has introduced the white robe and the midnight attack upon ignorance and defencelessncss. and if a crowd of other hoodlums go out and wear the disguise, it's all the same. Vi)y community with men of this type in it is not. safe from any kind of cow ardly assault. The officers and responsi ve public sentiment should not rest till ’his gang is exposed.

HIS MOTHER ADVISED Obdurate Husband Steadfastly Refuses to Divulge Whereobouts of Their Child. Charlotte, Nov. 9. —Little "Billie" Mclntyre. * alleged to have been kid napped October 13 from his hoifce in Richmond, is alive and well. This in formation. given to bis frantic little mother. Mrs. Minnie Mclntyre, here to day by Welfare Superintendent M. M. Gray, brought relief from the anguish which had made her hysterical for dayp. It was her piteous pleadings the past two days in Superior court here, that her husband- tell Iter only if her "baby” were alive, that inspired the public wel fare officer aud others to bestir them selves to secure information that would partly relieve- feqpy distress. Meanwhile the husband and father, M. C. Mcllntjrre, arrested here Wednes day on a warrant from the Virginia capital, remained unmoved, steadfastly refusing even to assure the frantic wife that the child was alive. HIM fight for liberty through habeas corpus proceedings ended today when Judge Harding denied his iietitlon and ordered that he be held for the Vir ginia authorities. Superintendent Gray did not an nounce if lie knew tbe whereabouts of the 2 1-2 year-ol* child, but assured his mother that tfirdygli the cooperation of the associated charities, it. had been as certained that the boy was alive and well. A Man-Made Niagara. Paris. Nov. 9. —A gigantic waterfall that will rival Niagara is now being con structed in the Swiss -Alps, near Mar tigny. It is at an altitude of over 0.500 feet aud is designed to supply electric power for the federal railway of Swit zerland. The scheme also provides for making a huge dam arenas the noted Itarberinc cascade, thus forming a vast artificial hike of about fodty million cubic yards. Tbe height of thiq dam will be about the same as that of Niagara, and it will have a total length of (}lB feet. The total cost of the undertaking is estimated at near ly twelve million dollars, but the benefits to be derived from the power generate!! by the falls will, it is calculated, repay this sum in a few mouths. * It is hoped to complete the project within three years.- The installation will then be capable of supplying sufficient electric power to run the entire Swiss railway system, which at present Is large ly dependent on foreign coal.

As he picked up one from the lot on tlic counter he struck an attitude of admiration and, holding it up to the light he said: “Now isn't it lovely? Look at . the silk.
