VILLAGE WATER IS AGAIN NORMAL Vegetable and Phenolic Sub stances From Leaves and Tar Road Caused Taste The taste and odor trouble in the Chapel Hill water supply, which has vied with the Georgia Tech game as the principal topic of conversation in the commun ity since Friday, has been cor rected, according to advices from Messrs. J. S. Bennett, ! Supt. of the University Consoli dated Service Plants, and H. G. Baity, Prof, of Sanitary and Municipal Engineering. Since the development of this very un usual condition, which unfor-j tunately occurred at a time when ' twenty thousand visitors were in ' town, and in greater intensity than heretofore experienced at Chapel Hill or in the state, the officials in charge of water puri fication have been busy day and night attempting to locate the source of the trouble and apply treatment processes to alleviate it. The current impression of townspeople seems to be that the nauseating-taste and odor were due to chemical treatment in the purification process. Such is not the Case. Extreme care has been taken in chemical ap plication, and the purification plant is under continuous con trol by experienced and scienti fically trained operators.

C TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1930 LAND DIS lid SHUN. AS LMI&i! OF SOUTH'S PART IN REVOLUTION -o- Unorthodox View Upheld by 'Mssissippi Valley Historic duce Changes in History of This Period. . : o The leading article in the September issue of the Mississ ippi Valley Review was "A Pre Revolutionary Revolt in the Old Southwest," written by Dr. Archibald Henderson, professor of mathematics. -This article was based on the intensive research which Dr. Henderson used in an address before delegates from the University of North Carolina aorid Duke University at the an nual meeting of the American Historical Association in Dur ham. v?- - In this short historical account Dr. Henderson presents his rather radical ideas of the causes of the revolt of the southern states against Great Britain. He opposes a view which has pre vailed unbroken until the pre sent. This view is that the causes of the revolution were in no way economic; Dr. Henderson's view is that the real and most out standing incentive drawing the south into the war was disputes over land policies. This view he presents with impressive evi dence taken from documentary sources. ri - By short excerpts from the letters of such leaders as George Washington, Patric Henry, Jef ferson, and Clark, he points out the disputes caused by' the blundering , land policies., ,othe mother country. -The historians Fisher, Fiske, Channing, Van Tyne, and; others point out as the causes of the war, the Bos ton port bill, the Townshend acts, and the violations of con tracts between the colonies and Great Britain, but no mention is made Of the many British land policies that caused so many disputes. For twenty-five years prior to the Revolution, Virginia as well as many other states, had Order Of The Coif Is Mod After English Law Institution In twenty-eight of the leading law schools of the United States, chapters of the Order of the Coif, an honorary law-chool society, have been established. These include Yale, Pennsyl vaniaChicago, Wisconsin, Min nesota, Michigan, California, and Stanford. A chapter was established at the University of North Carolina in 1928. Profes sor A. C. Mcintosh is its presir dent ahd Professor F. B. McCall, secretary. Membership in the chapter in the University has been awarded to the following : Class of 1927 : Samuel Elton Vest, Joseph Lapsley Cantwell, Jr., and Wil liam Harrison Abernathy ; Class of 1928 :; Charles Raper Jonas, Clarence Windley Hall, and Frank Bird Gummey 2nd; Class of 1929 : Jeff erson Barnes Fordham and Susie Marshall Sharp, : Chief Justice Walter P. Stacy (honorary) ; Class of 1930 John Huske Anderson, Jr., Al fred Waddell Gholson, Charles Francis Rouse, Allen Kendrick Smith, Judge John J. Parker of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals (honorary). The Order of the Coif was or ganized in 1911 as an honorary law school society, membership in which was designed to mark with distinction those who had attained a rank in their legal studies among the highest ten n nimivr in iifinn Henderson in Leading Article of Review" Likely to Pro been promoting land develop ment along her western border. The land companies formed were led by such men as Washington and George Mason. These states men were more interested in their land holdings perhaps than in the affairs of the colonies. At the appearance of the land acts these statesmen were dis turbed and aroused to action, many men had bought vast tracts of land from the Indians for small sums, and the mother country was trying either to col lect taxes or in some cases to make new states of the newly developed land. The pioneers who owned small tracts were aroused as well. The first act, the orders in council of 1763, was ignored by Governor Dun more, and the" land regulations of 1774 were suppressed. When Lord Dartmouth learn ed of those measures, he strictly censured Governor Dunmore. The Governor in turn explained the hostile attitude of the pioneers and statesmen and ex pressed the opinion that they would not endure such laws. This was many years before the re volt. - Then, on the very eve of the Revolution, the ' Virginia con vention lead by Patric Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Ma son and Pendleton voted in 1775 absolutely to disregard the land policies forced upon them. Coinciding with this was the ac tion of the Mecklenburg pat riots of North Carolina on May 31, 1775. Thus is summarized the view of Dr. Henderson. This view, contrary to those that have up to the t present , time been accepted as true, may cause many changes in the historic accounts of this period. .. .; '':- percent of the senior class. It was modelled after an in stitution with the same name which flourished in England for about seven centuries, but with this difference : The English Or der of the Cof?" consisted evclu sively of lawyers practicing be fore one court, the - Court of Common Pleas, and the judges of the court could only be select ed from that membership. The English order died out follow ing the reorganization of the English court system in 1875. The word "Coif" originally de signated a silk cap much like a small baby's cap worn by the lawyers of an early day. In later times, the "Coif" designated a silk, rosette worn on top of the barrister's wig. , The national officers of the Order of the Coif are Professor M. T. Van Hecke, University of North Carolina, president; Dean O. L. Rundell, University of Wisconsin, vice-president ; Pro fessor E. W. Puttkamer, Univer sity of Chicago, secretary-" treasurer.
