FLIT, BUTTERFLIES-4 . . . . - . - - 20 MORE DAYS TWENTY CLASS DAYS BEFORE EXAMS SERVED BY THE UNITED PRESS VOLUME XLIII CHAPEL HILL, N. C. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1934 NUMBER 52 WORLD SECURITY BY ARBITRATION, FRAZER ADVISES Professor Tells Combined Y. M. C. A. Cabinets That Nations Need Board of Control. 1 1 'i PRAISES LONDON TREATY - Only through the formation of some international board of con- trol will nations of the world be guaranteed security and equal- ity with each other, it was point- ed out last night by Professor K. C. Frazer in a talk to the Y. M. C. A. cabinets in joint ses- sion. I Speaking on "Disarmament, the University government pro-1 fessor traced the history of tempts to limit armaments. .1 Security vs. Equality" "The chief problem of dis- armament is to give each nation security and at the same time insure each nation's self-respect and equality," Frazer said. , Discussing the power of the League of Nations to act as an "international board of control," Frazer stated that it was the members of the league who gave power to the organization. To illustrate what nations will do in attempts to maintain their security, the speaker said that "as soon as Germany turned over her destinies to an irre- sponsible man, the nations sup- porting France consolidated." Reviews Treaty Frazer discussed the Wash- ington Naval Conference, the London Naval . Treaty, and the Geneva Disarmament Confer-1 ence, expressing his opinion I that the London Naval Treaty was one of the most important treaties in the history of the hu-' man race. Reports were presented at the business session of the meeting by Harry Riggs, who announced the Negro football game which will Be played this Saturday; Lee Greer, who made a report on the Red Cross drive; and J. C. Grier, who announced mu sical features of a Thanksgiving program to be sponsored by the "Y" this month. Village Once Fell Victim To State Iron Mining Craze . 0 One of North Carolina's Numerous Defunct Iron Mines Is Located Northwest of Carrboro; Finally Proved Expensive Failure. o By W. M. Cochrane Chapel Hill, long famous as a center of learning, almost be came famous in an entirely dif ferent way: iron mining. This industry, not in existence here today, was once very important in this state. The mine which represented Chapel Hill's share of this vital industry was located several miles northwest of the village of Carrboro. It was in opera tion until a few years ago, but is now neglected. The operators of the mine found that the pro ject was not a paying one, and they abandoned the site, leaving all the equipment behind. To day all that is left of this equip ment are several rusty and bro ken pieces of machinery. The ore that the mine pro duced was easy to transport to market. . The miners loaded the ore on little "gravity cars," and rolled the cars down the hill on tracks to Captain Smith's "Carr boro Special." The loaded cars going down pulled up the emp ty cars by means of cables, re- Sheiks -Initiate Fifteen New Men into Order Pleas for "Water" Gratified as Sophomores Enter Society. The Order of Sheiks last night initiated 15 new members into the organization with cries of "Sahara" and pleas for "Water," which, were gratified. Those introduced to the order were : Stanley Winborne, Bill McClelland, John Parker, Jack Cay, John Rainey, Joe , Grier, Ross Allen, James McKee, Boy- lan Carr, - Sam Neveas, Yates Mason, Jim Finley, Sam Will- ard, Tracy Spencer, and Carl Jeffries. After dousing the initiates with water, the members put all their shoes in a pile and at-(forced the new members to scramble for them. The initia- tion was under the supervision of Ben Willis, Ben Skinner, and Joe Shull. PHI TO COMPLETE PLANS FOR DANCE Assembly Wilf Hear New Con stitution Tonight; Expect to Simplify Procedure. Plans for the annual Di-Phi dance will be completed tonight when the Phi Assembly meets in New West at 7 o'clock. jimmy duller nas been en gaged to play at the affair which will be given. Friday night in the Tin Can. By arrange- ment with the sophomore execu tive council, the same decora tions will be used for both the Di-Phi dance and. sophomore hop. A new constitution has been drawn for the group and will be submitted at tonight's meeting. This new constitution elimi nates many of the old and worn out technicalities formerly con tained in the charter. Speaker Smithwick looks forward to an imnrovement in the routine functions of future meetings. Several new bills will be pre sented for discussion tonight Final plans for the freshman de bate and the Mary D. Wright debate will be made. quiring no power. This efficient method of carrying the ore to the. railroad saved much ex pense. Judging from the size of the shafts still to be seen at the mine, a great amount of iron must have been 'extracted be fore the project was finally abandoned. . Hie shafts are great yawning - holes in the earth, the largest of which , is some sixty feet in depth. There are a half dozen of smaller holes, located at various places around the main shaft. The many piles of rock lying about the shafts seem to contain much iron, be cause the rocks are reddish brown and heavy. Although this mine was a failure and a costly one, it was only one of the many attempts made to utilize the valuable de posits of iron that we have. In the earlier days of the nation's history, North Carolina was a leader in this industry, but in recent years there have been few attempts to make use of our iron deposits. STUDENTS LEAGUE TO DISCUSS NAZIS Spar.n Will Lead Discussion of Hitler's Regime; Rev. Fletch er Will Speak Soon. .

All students and faculty mem bers interested in the subjects or in the , National Students League are invited to attend. DEBATE SQUAD MEETING Resolved, That an internation al agreement be reached to con trol the activities of armament manufacturers, will be the topic for discussion at a meeting of the debate squad at 9 o'clock to night in 209 Graham Memorial. Feature Board There will be a meeting of the feature board,of the Daily Tar Heel in Graham Memorial at 3 o'clock this afternoon Private Vaults Of Thousands Of Enormous Task of Cataloging Southern Collection of Rare Letters And Diaries Is Now Being Carried On. o Down under the stacks in the library, guarded by "No Admit tance" signs,- is a room which the public rarely, if ever, pene trates. In this room is to be found overflowing the floors, the desks, and the files, the greater part of the Southern Collection, which consists of over 1,000, 000,000 rare letters, books, state papers, and diaries cover ing that period of southern his tory extending from 1684 to 1920. In the fire-proof vaults of the library are kept the most precious , documents and relics of the collection including let ters and possessions of "Stone wall" Jackson, letters of Robert E. Lee, and of Jefferson Davis. The difficult and interesting task of classifying and filing the Southern, Collection is super vised by Mrs. L. A. Cotten, who has under her direction ten or twelve assistants. - Some idea of the enormity of the task may be gained when one learns that the papers of one family may num ber 20,000. The twenty collec tions already classified, includ ing the famous Pettigrew pa pers, the Pringle-Hill papers, and others, number collectively 400,000. The purpose of the Southern Collection, according' to Dr. J. G. deR. Hamilton, who has charge of it, is to gather in one place easily accessible to the student and investigator "every book or pamphlet of any kind on any subject written in the south or by a southerner, every one which deals in any way with the southern states, their people STUDENT CONDUCT LAUDED BY HOUSE Week-end Spirit Exceptionally Fine' Dean Tells Freshmen. Congratulating the student body for its "fine conduct throughout "an almost perfect week-end," Dean R. B. House spoke to the freshmen at the regular chapel period yesterday. "The attitude throughout was perfect," he said. "The student body contributed almost as much as the team to the fine occasion." Charging tnat everything sig nificant has not passed out until the winter quarter, Dean House urged the students to get down l- i j? j.t u; . 10 worn, lor uie uig game which comes off 20 days from now, and "I hope you all make a touchdown," he concluded. Dean Bradshaw presided over the meeting with the Reverend R. B. Fischer, pastor of the Lutheran church., leading the devotionals. Richberg Says to Leave New Deal Is Suicide Government Not to Reduce Pri vate Capital's Activity. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19. (UP) Donald R. Richberg, one of the most powerful figures in the Roosevelt Administration, de clared tonight that it was sui cidal folly to abandon the New Deal and let nature take it's course. He said, however, that the government is prepared to re duce steadily the volume of federal activities as private cap ital disnlavs willingness .and ability to reduce unemployment. Library Contain Priceless Documents or their problems." Most of the material which has poured in from the garrets, trunks, and chests of the south has been donated by people who believe that the Southern Col lection will do for the south what the Bancroft Collection has done for the Pacific Coast and the Burton library for the Middle West. Some of the own ers of private collections have been unwilling to donate their possessions outright but have been glad to loan them to the Southern Collection in return for the protection afforded by the library's vaults. . A small amount of the material has of necessity been purchased. Perhaps for most of us the tedious work of classifying the faded and sometimes scarcely legible manuscripts would be very dull. But not for Mrs. Cotten and her assistants. They get a thrill out of reading the war proclamation of North Car olina's Civil War governor, John W. Ellis; they are reminded of Robert E. Lee's real greatness when they read an until now unknown letter of condolence, written by him to the widow of "Stonewall" Jackson. The dis covery which probably affords Mrs. Cotten the most satisfac tion, however, is of a unique correspondence between Wil liam Pettigrew and the Negro foreman of his plantation, a correspondence which will, she thinks, show up the master slave relations prior to the Civil War in a new and more favor able light.

To Plan Debates Final plans for the freshman and Di-Phi debates will be an nounced at this meeting. Bids to the Di-Phi dance will be given all members in good standing.

H. Smith, '04, In cludes Early Documents. University Librarian Downs announced yesterday that a Charlotte alumnus, Burton H. Smith, '04, has presented the library with about 200 volumes of general literature. These books include several early items of North Carolina history which should prove valuable to histor ians. - Smith also presented the li brary with an old license to practice law issued by the state of North Carolina in 1807 to Alfred M. Burton, an ancestor of the donor. This document is signed by the governor of the state at that time and is accompanied by a document certifying examina tion signed by two Superior Court judges. The license is interesting as a contrast to mod ern law examinations.
