International News Service Staff Correspondent. Raleigh, June 22.—Foundation for another "anti-evolution" onslaught on the 1020 legislature was seen here today in the called meeting at Char ge June 30 of the North Carolina Bible league. The meeting of the militant body of fundamentalists will be the first since the session at Statesville in January, when the tentative organiza tion of the league was made perman ent, and its Legislative platform was drawn up. Officials and spokesmen for the league, the former "Committee of One Hundred" which had its day hack in the 1025 session, have made it plain since the 1027 legislative fiasco that they intend to come back to Raleigh htyo years hence -with another "mon keV bill. lonstipated?

THE OLD RELIABLE fact, he would leave the proverDinl 'turnip-top' for the soybean field. Now. soybeans are very important to those who are engaged in the dairy industry, for example. As I sec it. the rabbit, no longer the target for sportsmen he used to be, bids fair to become an agricultural pent, along with the boll weevil and the Mexican bean beetle. A rabbit can raise many ‘crops' of young ones while he is destroying the stuff on a fellow's land." It was pointed out at the Depart ment, however, that rabbits, during the open season, afford a fine source of revenue. The industry has been encouraged to some extent by mar keting specialist's, who state that the market for North Carolina rabbits is good. They are sometimes ship ped in cariots, and it may be that the present “surplus" wi 1 be partly taken up during the coming winter, when there will likely be an effort to expand the industry. North Caro lina rabbits, it is said, are quite popular in northern and eastern eat ing places. Plans for increasing the membership of the League, and perfecting the or ganization throughout every nook and corner of the State will be the pur pose of the gathering at Charlotte. The headquarters of the league at Statesville state that the League al ready has grown to the extent that there are memberships in 60 of the 100 counties in North Cnrolina. At its meeting early this year the League adopted a platform setting forth very plainly its purpose ns a defender of orthordox views of the Bible and champions of the Funda mentalist movement. The organization had its representa tives at the 1027 session of the State 1-egislnture to speak in behalf of the second edition of the "Poole bill." The Poole bill of 1027 was withdrawn when its sponsors found most of the legislative opinion in opposition to the proposal to ban the so-called "evolu tion theory" from State-supported schools.

Two large textile manufacturers were witnesses yesterday for the Pied mont and Northern railway at the Interstate Commorce Commission hearing on the. application of the rail road to construct extensions to its line. ' They are C. A. Cannon, of Concord, president of Cannon Manufacturing company, the largest towel manufac turers in the world, with plant at Kannapolis, and bend of several other mills and interested in still others, and John W. Arrington, of Greenville, S. C„ head of a bleaehery and dyeing plant four miles from Greenville. Mr. Cannon said that it was his opinion that the construction of the projected extensions to the interurban electric line is required as a matter of public convenience and necessity. He pointed out that this is especially true because of the large number of textile finishing plants seeking loca tions in the south where they can obtain quick service. "Quick service is of the greatest importance," the witness said. Further questions brought out that shipments from Kannapolis are If) to 12 car loads a day and that last year shipments received amounted to 10 to 12 car loads a day. Delays were experienced on the Southern railway, he said. The hulk of the shipments from Kannapolis go to the Middle West and the proposed new electric line would save two or three days, the witness said. He also said that there are delays In getting empty cars and that switch- REMEMBERS MACHIAVELLI Fourth Centenary of Italian Writer, Statesman and Diplomat Will B« Celebrated. Rome, June 22.—1 n compliance with a proclamation issued by Prem ier Mussolini the fourth centenary of the death of Niccolo Maehiavelli, the great Italian writer, statesman and deplomatist, is to be observed today by Italians throughout the world. The character of Maehiavelli abounded in enigmas and paradoxes, and from his name has been derived a synonym of perfidious policy. He was bom in Florenece in 1469. At the age of 30 he was appointed secretary of the Ten who managed the diplomatic affairs of the republic. He retained this office about four teen years, during which he was em ployed in many foreign missions to France and other Continental coun tries, and acquitted himself with great dexterity. In 1510, for the third time, he was sent to France, and negotiated an alliance with Louis Nil. He zealously exerted his tal ents and influence to mni.ntain the independence of Florence, but without success. In 1512 the Medicos obtained sove reign' power in Florence by the aid of the I*oi>e and the Emperor, and Mnehihvellia was banished from the city, but forbidden to leave the coun try. He passed several ensuing years in retirement, and during this period comiKiscd a treatise on the "Art of War,” and his important work en titled “The Prince,” which has en tailed a large portion of conventional infamy on his name. It was written for the private use of Lorenzo de Medici, and not designed for publica tion. About 1520 he was recalled into public service by Leo X., and was em ployed on several missions, the last of .which was to the army of the league against Charles V. He died at Florence on this date in 1527. Machiavelli’s last work was an ex cellent, luminouis and picturesque his tory of Florence, the style of which is greatly admired. He was also the author of several comedies of some merit, and of valuable "Discourses on Livy." 1 "The character of Maehiavelli,” says Macaulay, “was hateful to the new masters of Italy. His works were misrepresented by the learned, mis construed by the ignorant, censured by the Church, abused with all the rancour of stimulated virtue by the minions of a base despotism and the priests of a baser superstitution. The name of a man whose genius had il luminated all the dark places of policy, and to whose patriotic wisdom an op pressed people had owed their last chance of emancipation, had passejl into a proverb of infamy. The terms in which he is commonly described would seem to import that he was the tempter, the evil principle, the dis coverer of ambition and revenge, the original inventof of perjury, etc.” Educational Conference Planned. Chapel Hill, June 22. —(IN’S) — Chief.attention will be devoted to ex perimental and statistical data re lating to the public schools of North Carolina at the annual Conference on Elementary Education at the Univers ity of North Carolina here July 14- 15, according to the program made public today. * . Among topics which will come in for considerable discussion are “meth ods aimed to improve instruction in elementary schools, teacher supply and demand, and the need for; achieve ments of, and monetary value of rural supervision.” t Jules B. Warren, Raleigh, secretary treasurer of the North Carolina Edu cation Association, and A. T. Allen, state superintendent of public instruc tion, will be two of the principal speakers at the conference. Numerous other speakers have been obtained to address the conferen.ee and take part in the vnrious discussions that are slated to come up during the' two-day session.

In reply to n question Mr. Cannon said that the textile development in the Piedmont section, in his opinion, has just started: He also considered there is a need for sites for new in dustries. These would- be opened up through the extensions of the Pied inout and Northern. On cross-examination, Mr. Jeffries asked: "If the duplication of service in the Piedmont section results in the im pairment of the Southern railway, wouldn't that be a misfortune?” "Yes.” was Mr. Cannon's reply. Mr. Cannon agreed with Mr. Jeffries that the 'Southern railway is a good road and gives good service in the 'main and that the large Cannon busi ness was built up through the coopera tion of the Southern railway. W. S. O'M. Robinson, chief of local Counsel for the Piedmont and North ern, here asked Mr. Cannon whether he had any Stock in the Southern railway. Mr. Cannon replied that he had 225 shares of stock in the Southern. Mr. Jeffries expressed his gratifica tion and the hope that he would con tinue a stockholder in the Southern. “Do you think that the construc tion of the new line would hurt the Southern railway?-" Mr. Robinson then asked. “No," came the response. After a few questions by Frank Armfield, counsel of the City of Con cord and Cabarrus county, in which nothing new of importance developed, the witness was excused.
