NO ARMS CONFERENCE POSSIBLE
* . NOW.
Great Britain has halted plans of the Cool
| idge administration for an arms conference to
affect only Japan, Great Britain and the Unit
. ed States.
The Geneva has been able to do
pqtthing; and President Coolidge and Secretary
Kellogg thought the time ripe for a sequel to
the Harding-Hughes naval treaties. Japan
was willing to attend and So was Great Britain
for a time, hut conditions during the past sev
eral months have changed so that the confer
ence seems impossible at present.
The Coolidge administration planned for a
conference that would extend the 5-5-3 ratio
to all naval categories. Great Britain wanted
certain clauses that would have given Japan
a larger navv than the United States, at the
same time leaving Great Britain with the
greatest water power in the world,
g And then another new condition arose. Pre
mier Mussolini stated that Italy was going to
start a great naval program with an elaborate
fleet of submarines. France also decided on
more submarines. On top of this came the
decision of Spain to spend $200,000,000 on a
naval construction program.
Japan wants the conference. At present the
United States has not completed her part of
tjie 5-5-3 program and the Japanese fear that
sSGreat Britain continues to halt the conference,
fesathe United States will complete the program
Shaking it imperative for them to build craft
they can't afford now.
DR. POTEAT TO RESIGN.
Dr. Poteat is going to resign in June as
president of Wake Forest College—that is un
less someone in the meantime starts another
attack on him and leaves the impression that
he is quitting under fire.
Some time ago Dr. Poteat said when he
reached the age of seventy he wanted to step
out and let a younger and more vigorous man
take up the active duties as president of Wake
... forest. He was ready to quit last year, many
of his friends contended, but about that time
some of the people who do not like his evolu
tion views decided to get rid of him. They
t. launched a campaign to oust, him, hoping to
bring the thing to a head at the State Baptist
Convention in Charlotte.
Dr. Poteat then let it be known that he
would not resign. He was tired, felt that
. had given 'Wake Forest the better part of a
capable and active life, yet he was not
' to step out so lohg as his actions were being
k questioned. We predicted then and we repeat
| the prediction that he will stay at Wake For
i est just as long as he wants to. He has served
| the college long, and well and the Baptists are
A Dr. Poteat should be allowed to resign in
peace. He has proved his strength time and
jf time again and can do it again, but he doesn’t
i want to. He wants to live the rest of his life
| close to Wake Forest, to bp svire, but not as
its active president. Hts cdntributions to the
§ college and the in State ett
. title him to whatever he wants.
K SOUTH WILL DECIDE.
What is done at the next Democratic con-
! port Governor A1 Smith may determine the
■ fate of the movement at the next convention,
If the Southern delegates go to the convention
■ determined to defeat Governor Smith there
, probably will be no change in the law for un
; der the present system they feel that they can
1 prevent his nominations whereas with the ma
jority rule they might not be so successful.
If Governor Smith is not a candidate the
rule may be changed but we doubt it. Promi
nent men in the party are advocating the
J change and the new system has its advantages,
still the South likes to know that it holds some
power, even though under the present system
it cannot put over its candidate without help
from some other section of the country.
MIGHT TRY THE NEW" JERSEY WAY.
i
, In a single day recently 44 auto drivers in
< New Jersey were deprived of license to drive
an automobile because they were convicted of
driving at the wheel while under the influence
of liquor.
We do not know how many were sentenced
to jail in addition to having their license re
voked, but we hope the total was 44. How
ever, taking the license from a man is one way
of helping a bad situation. The man who
cares too little for human life to stay sober
while driving an automobile has no business
driving one.
North Carolina could at least try the New
Jersey system. Certainly .conditions could
be no worse under it than they are at present
when many persons seem to have no fear what
ever for the law and its consequences.
New Jersey officials who investigated the
Hall-Mills murder case four years ago are up
in arms as a result of charges by present of
ficials that the first investigation was more or
less of a farce. Persons questioned at the first
inquiry were believed without much corrob
oration, it is charged, and this manner of do
ing things led to no solution to the mystery.
There’s lots of mony in the family of Mrs.
Hall who is now charged with the murder of
her husband and his choir singer. Her coun
sel and its mighty hard to get people to talk
much when such a vast sum of money is avail
able. Mrs. Hall and her kinspeople practical
ly control business in the town where they live
and people are afraid to talk, it is said. They
had rather keep their jobs.
WISE CRACKS.
Two youngsters in an Arkansas town were fined for :
throwing a can of pepper into the ventilating fan of a
movie theater. At that, however, a lot of movies would I
be better off for more pepper.-—Banner. Nashville, Tenn. ■
The trouble with most people who stop to make up i
their minds is that they use concrete in the construction.

OUTLAW THE {ASH. ,
Winston-Salem Journal.
The best thing to do with the ehaingang sv stent-kin, (
North Carolina is to cut its head off, was the opinion of i
Governor Bickett. lie did not think it ever would be !
possible to develop the system to the point where pris- i
Oners Would bo treated decently. i
The trial of the "whipping boss'' in Stanly County has i
only served to attract aente attention to an evil that
has been a blot upon the fair name of North Carolina i
for years. And whether the. Stanly official on trial is |
convicted or not of the specific charges preferred |
against him, there is no question but that prisoners have I
been cruelly treated. They have been whipped with
a lash. ,
But until we do succeed in developing better pris- I
ons than the ehaingaugs Judges could, if they would, i
do much to safeguard prisoners against cruel treatment i
at the hands of chaingnug su|>erjntendenta or guards. i
If all Superior Court Judges in North Carolina would i
do what Judge Oglesby did in Winston-Salem yester
day, they would just about succeed in banishing cruelty '
from all of our ehaingangs.
"The time has passed in North Carolina when cruel
ty to convicts will be tolerated.” said Judge Oglesby in .
Ids public charge to the Grand Jury. "Whipping con- |
victs is an insult to the decent citizenship of North i
Carolina.” he added, ami then served this notice on the i
trail djury and all the assembled host of witnesses: 1
! “I don't intend to sentence any man to any ehaingang t
where he is beaten with a lash or anything else. If the
superintendent or guard can't get service ont of his
men without whipping them, then he is incompetent to
be in charge of convic|%”
That's the sort of doctrine that ought to be promul
gated from every bench id North Carolina. It las the
unqualified approval of the best public in the
Commonwealth, jtfo Jbufct about that. Sfand by your
guns, Judge. Good people everywhere are with you.

THINKS COTTON 18 BOUND TO GO UP.
Gastonia Gazette.
“Shut your eyes and believe in cotton; it is going
higbee.” says J. S. Oliver, of New York, who was a re
cent visitor in Gastonia. This man has been saying all
along that cotton would be higher by Semtember than
it is now.
We io not know whether he knows much nbout it orj
not. but at any rate b's observations are interesting to a
community. Cotton is' America's chief money
crop. Some may doubt its intrinsic value but the out
side worid never, wiH. Jt is gold, he says, not silver,
and gbld will never he denied. " The price of cotton is
at times jammed too low. but the value remains intact.
' Continuing, Mr. Oliver says, ‘This country is richer
than the rosearo droitms of an oriental potentate. Our
calm, wise leaders say confidentially that we ire on the
eye of another great commercial and industrial boom.
H •» true, shall cotton, onr greatest single nat

comprises part of the camp program.
He hopes to reduce his waist line gey,

Census Takers Have Their Troubles.
(By Interrffitional News Service)
Asheville, Aug. 4.—R. B. Sizemore,
city school census taker, has had his
patience tried once too often.
Sizemore had tried in vain on two
occasions to obtain facts for his school
report from the home of Sam King.'
King evidently held a small opinion
of the value of census takers. He
and his wife refused to let Sizemore
enter their home.
The census taker had a warrant
made out for King’s arrest. Magis
trate T. F. Hunter heard the com
paint and suspended judgment upon
the payment of costs.
But Sizemore declared he failed,
even then to get the desired informa
tion from King. It was from one
of the witnesses at the hearing, he
said, that he found out King's step
daughter is of school age, and is to be
included in the school population.

NORTH CABOIJ-NA oysters
Inspection ft the Beds Beinf Made
' by the State Board of Health.
* Tribune Hnreau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Aug. I.—ln order that
North Carolina oysters may be safe
for gastronomy, bacteriological in
spection of all the oyster and clam
beds in the state is being begun by
the State board of health, assisted
by J. Ij. Robertson, sanitary engi
neer of the United States public
health service, shellfish division, who
is in Raleigh today on bis way to
Morehead City and ’Wrightsville
Reach, where a survey of the waters
will be made. This is the second
year the survey has been made, and
it is hoped by the board othealth that
ns good a showing will be made this
year as last, whem the United States
public health service pronounced the
shellfish sitnation in North Carolina
the best in the entire United States.
The latter part of the week Mr.
Robertson will join T. R. McCrea,
permanent inspector of the State
board of health and the State fish
eries commission, on the patrol boat
“Pnmliro”, which has a complete lab
oratory fitted up in it, and they will
make a number of bacteriological
tests of both the upper and lower
waters of IVrightsvillw' Sound, where
there are more clamJ and oysters.
They will then cruise north to Bogue
Sound at Morehead City, and to Pam
lico Sound, where the largest oyster
beds are located, just off Hyde coun
ty. and at the mouth of the Ncuse
River. Mr. Robertson expects to
i spend some thirty days with Mr. Mc-
Crea and at the end of that time he
expects again to be able to pro
nounce the North Carolina oyster
beds the best in the United States.
Although North Carolina oysters
are the best and .purest ou the mar
ket. virtually nothing has been done
to advertise them, with the result
•i tint most of the 310,01)5 bushels of
oysters dredged annually In the state
are shipped out of the state, sold un
der some other label, and then shipped
back in under an out-of-thc-state
label and sold at much higher prices.
A Sordid Story of the Slums.
(By International News Service)
1 . New York, Aug. 4.—Bennett Fer-
I rara. 73-year-old Brooklyn man. has
' added the unusual touch to a sordid
! story of the slums. Like the movies,

Four years ago the white-haired old
man was sentenced to prison for .en
dangering the morals of Rosalia Gjar
rupte, then eleven. The other day he
married her. -
, . The marriage was Ferrara's own
doings. After he came ont of prison
with a two-year term behind him, he
showered gifts upon the girl. He
gave her SI,OOO in cash, a diamond
studded wrist watch, and then a hand
some engagement ring. Still, he was
not satisfied, and finally came the con
viction that ohly marriage “eould right
an old wrong.”
The marriage almost didn’t occur.
The bride was waiting in her marital
hour came and went. Finally her
brother went in search of the missing
bridegroom.
He found Femra sleeping soundly
in his home. Frantically, shook him.
“Don't you know this is your wed
wedding day?” he demanded.
Ferrara yawned.
“Well, what about it?” he said.
Tlieu he rose and donned his marriage
garb.
