. Xew Vork. Jan. 18.—OP)—Cam
paigns for two and jmssibly four can
didates of the 1028 Democratic Pres
idential nomination are definitely un
derway, the Xew York Times says to
day.
The four aspirants named are: Gov
ernors Albert C. Ritchie, of Mary
land, A. Victor Donahey of Ohio,
Alfred E. Smith, of Xew York, and
former' Secretary of Treasury,
Win. G. MsAdoo.
The chances of Clem L. Shaver,
national democratic chairman, who is
visiting here, for retention of his post
are bright, the Times also says. Neu
tral members of the committee who
fear another deadlock between the
Smith and McAdoo forces are said to
favor him because of his own neutral
attitude.
Governor Ritchie, the Times says,
•Is described by some Democrats as a
particular menace to the chances of
Xew York's favorite son. As an in
dication of his strength, his friends
are quoted as pointing to reports that
Bernard M. Baruch, a McAdoo sup
porter in 1924, favors the Maryland
Governor. i 1
Governor Donahey. the Times says,
is considered handicapiied by the ne
necessit.v of running this fall for the
third term ns a means of keeping to
the fore during the preconvention
campaign. New York democrats are
quoted as clniming his campaign is
making little headway outside of his
own state.

STUDENTSVOTE TO
SUSPEND MAGAZINE
Were Not Able to Agree
With Faculty of David
son College as to Who
'Would Edit Publication.
Davidson, .Tan. 18.—(4*)—The diffi
culties encountered by Davidson Col
lege recently over the editorship of the
college mazgazine were brought to an
end today when Hie students 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 “Dipi Morniug.” and dealt
Hrfsfc 4fto toodens-hoy nnd giaT,"depict
ing scenes at the h.ouse party the past
summer. The story was said to have
beck based on actual occurrences. It
discussed “petting" in a very frank
manner.

Letters of Resignation to Be Ex
ecuted at Will.
Washington, Jan. 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 !" behalf of resoteUons

mission, Senator Norris declared that
the President belonged to the group
that believed the commission should
he used for partisan purposes, and
that he had liked 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 the 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 the letter, the senator
added, the appointment was made.

FEDERAL WAREHOUSE ACT
Protecto Fanners From Losses From
Fraudulent Warehouse Receipts.
Raleigh. Jan. 10.— UP) —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 edißle
beans, dried fruit, and cane and maple
syrup.
“lu almost every state where agri
cultural products are placed in pub
lic storage,” the department says,
“losses sometimes totalling • millions
have been reported. Durilig the past
season, losses sustained in two states
by farmers who placed their grain
in storage in public warehouses were
exceedingly heavy, being estimated at
more than $200,000.”
The department cites as a typical
Instance of such a loss that of a farm
er who stored bis year's crop with a
warehouseman. He received a ware
house receipt, which he sold to a grain
dealer. When the dealer presented
the receipt, and called for the delivery
of the gra>in, 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 lhat in prac
tically all eases 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, the 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 warseliouse and its
accounts are inspected periodically to
show whether the requirements of the
1 act are being met, and especially to
make certain that the products cov
ered by receipts are actually in the
warehouse.
The law, points out the bulletin,
is not compulsory; and the depart
ment is urging farmers to prevail up
on their local warehousemen to be
come licensed.
MAY LIMIT DEBATE
ON WORLD COURT
Senators Have Not Yet Agreed on
the Matter, However.
Washington, Jan. 18.— UP) —Limi-
tation of debate on the world court
was discussed today among senators,
but with little indication of an im
mediate move in that direction.
Senator Swanson, of Virginia, lead
er of the democratic court forces, said
it would be developed whether the op
position intended to filibuster before
any definite proposal for cloture was
made.
Chairman Borah, of the foreign re
lations committee, leader of the oppo
sition, said he had little idea there
would be a move to limit demate.
Gnus and Legume Crops hi Rowan.
Albemarle, January lß.— UP) —Four
in Rowan county have planted a to
tal of 28,530 acres of land to grass
and legume crops during the past
year, says County Agent W. O.
Yeager.
This more than doubles the plant
ing of any previous year and repre
sents 20 per cent, of the cultivated
land in the county. Much interest
is also being shown In planting these
trope this spring, and from inquiries
received with reference to obtaining
seed. Rowan county will be the ban
ner county of the state in percentage
of plow land sown, says Mr. Yeag

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Easy at Decline of 5 to 12
Points With Active Months 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 n reaction.
Rather easier Liverpool cables were
a factor on the decline, while there
was probably some local selling in the
belief that the advances of last week
had eased the market's technical posi
tion. Offerings were comparatively
light, however, and the decline was
checked by renewed covering around
10.75 for May nnd 18.23 or October,
sufficient to cause rallies of 5 or 6
points from the lowest 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 10.75; July 19.05; Oct.
18.23; Dec. 18.05.
PARRISH WOULD FIGHT
FOR JIMWON’S CAUSE
- - i ,-~'-
Volunteers Services In Case the Char
lotte Man Is Attacked Before Su
preme Court.
Raleigh, Jan. 17.—Newly made
lawyer Thomas I). 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 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 here 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 no assault. »
The names of the young men who
are to be opposed will not be given to
the papers until the cases have been
cnlled 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.
i SOUTHERN COTTON OIL

er from the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road damages for alleged failure to de
liver part of a shipment of cotton seed
oil had uot been brought in time and
was barred by the statute of limita
tions. The railroad contended that no
question was presented which gave
the Supreme Court jurisdiction to re-‘
view the case.

DROUGHT WAS BOON
TO CANNING INDUSTRY
Shelby Grocer Canned Goods Con
sumption Hag 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
t hat 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 1025 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
' lied planting program we have ever
undertaken.”

MARCUS W. BROWN &
ONE SPOKESMAN
He Tells the Committee
Delay Will Mean Big
Loss to Industry in North
Carolina.
* • .3
Washington, Jan. 18. —W*>—The
1 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.
f Delegations appeared in opposition
g to the resolution offered by Chairman
r Norris, which would prohibit the Fed
_ eral Power Commission from issuing
e permits to develop power projects pp
_ 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
| inunity than higher prices for power
I that might be charged by private in-
I terests than if the government de
veloped the project.”
Senator Norris declared that be in
. troduced the resolution because he
was opposed to turning over great nat
ural resources to private interests for
1 their private gain and that he believ
ed cheaper power could be obtained in
• tlie Southeast by development of the
Tennessee River than is now produced
1 in Canada.
e Mr. Brown said he believed pas
? sage of the resolution would deprive
" the communities of the immediate
I need of power Instead of giving them
‘ cheap i>ower.
Mayor John H. Cathey, of Ashe
e vilie, declared that Muscle Shoals was
1 like the poor, it will be with us all
™ the time. Muscle Shoals will never
p be settled as long *a it< is in-
" be declared.'
B He declared the life of the commun
iities depended on power, and It w>as
j not so much the question of cost ag
■j they must have it if industrial-opera
tions are to be continued. Within
-1 the last few years, he said, industries
e valued at $250,000,000, have been
1 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,
