Recom mendation that the states' legal code be amended so that "majority" ver dicts' in both criminal and civil cases would suffice, was conained in the re port of circuit judges who met here at the call of Governor Cary A. Har dee, to formulate a proposed revis ion to the legislature at its next ses sion. The judges recommended that in cases where a jury of 12 men is re quired, the verdict of eleven be ac ceptqd, .while in panels of six men, the opinion of five should prevail. Under the present state law, all ex cjrnt mjuj cases are tried by juries of. six iren. Another recommendation deals with present procedure under which a.-jiidge3'.s automatically disqualified in a case where two electors sign af fidavits that he is prejudiced. The judges suggested that the presiding judge be allowed to sit in judgment of himself in determining whether he would- be prejudiced if the alle gations set forth in the two affidav its were true. As an effort to thwart He freeing of law violators on tech nicalftieS, the judges' conference pro posed that the state be given the right of appeal from the judgment of the lower courts where cases are dismiss ed oh dmurrer, quashed indictments, or the like. ' The provision in the code that the counsel for the defendant shall have ! the last argument before the jury when the defendant does not take the stand, would be eliminated in the proposed changes. The confer ence also adopted Governor Hardee's suggestion that the , jury selection method be stabalized by establishment in each count yof a jury commission who would draw upor prospective jury service the nAmes of not less than 290 nor "hiore than 500 quali fied "male" persons. - This, with a view to improving the personnel of juries. No provision has been made in this state as yet for service on juries by women. The present law would also be a mendc:! to allow the removal for trial to another county of criminals, when, in the opinion of the governor, circuit judge or sheriff, a fair trial would not be accorded in the immed iate community.

GREAT BRITAIN London, Oct. 9. Prohibition Li quor vessels within American waters will give rise to no international complication, according to the views of the British Foreign Officials, who state that the matter is one which the United 'States has a perfect right to take any action it sees fit. SAYS NO SUCH TITLE AS INGRES r Washington, Oct. 8. Any ' high school student, standing on his con- stitutional rights, is reminded that the next time Representative Mc- Von Googley, of the 753rd district Of . Delaware,, for example, is intro duced by the teacher at the Friday nitrht speaking service which pre ceded 'lie refreshments as Congress man McVon Googley, he may rise and declare there is no such dignity. Digging through the musty rec ords, William Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives, has found and printed in a little hand book that there is no official sanc tion for the title. The constitution, says Mr. Page, sanctions the use of the words "representative" nd "mem bers," as designating those persons composing the house. But like, other words which have crept into use since Noah Webster's day, congressman takes its place, and the average representative, over the telephone or to your face if you don't know him will say this is Congressman So and So. Some cab inet officers at house committee hear ings, who don't happen to, know the representatives by name, meet the occasion by saying "Congressman." The easier method around the house these days,t if a man wants to keep within the constitution, is to address a member as "Judge," It'liits the right spot, and he smiles affably like the fable colonel of Kentucky.

TI FREIGHT L-IDE Early Sunday morning two freight trains collided near the station of the Atlantic Coast Line here and considerable damage resulted there from. The collision occurred just to the rear of the Josey Guano Plant. It was stated that one of these trains had no headlight on the engine and this was the - cause of the wreck.

TRIISCOL RE DAND WHITE A! RATI I K H A TA GIVES WARNING TO COAL DISTRIBUTORS TEST COTTONSEED BY-'MEW- METHODS Cotton growers would welcome a method of testing the germination of cottonseed that would give re suls as dependable as the method used in testing the viability of seed corn. Methods in use at the present time are not very satisfacory on most strains of cotton and the United States Department of Agriculture is working with experiment stations in the South o develop a esting proced ure hat will give accurate informa tion regarding the condition of the seed. The old way is to put the seeds between strips of Canton flannel, moisten them, and then keep them at temperatures alternating between 20 and ."0 degrees C. Better results have been obtained with some strains of cotton by placing the seed in soil boxes and putting the boxes in in cubators, where the proper tempera ture can be maintained. One sam ple tested by this soil method germi nated about 90 per cent, while 12 samples from the same lot tested in the usual way gave results varyoing all the way from 14 per cent to 50 per cent germination. As only a few field tests have been made to check up on the laboratory results the department is not yet ready to say that the new method is entirely sat isfactory. The varying percentages show tht.a the old cloth method is no dependable for all samples. Thus far, a combination of the two methods seems likely to give good results. The germination in soil will show the number of live seeds, and the -percentage of seeds germinating between the cloths will indicate their vigor. There is always much poor cotton- dealers' hands and that kept by the growers bemselves, and for this rea son a good germination test is urgent ly needed. The reason for the, large quantity of bad seed is that very lit tle is known about the effects of various conditions on the vigor of the seed. In addition to its efforts to devise a good germination test, the department is studying the effects of storing seed when too damp and of picking seed at different stages of -maturity. REV. DAN IVERSON TO BE : RECEIVED IN PRESBYTERY Rev.. Dan Iverson will be received into the Presbytery at the Synod which meets in Goldsboro.
