At the session Raleigh was select ed aa the place for the next annual meeting. It will be held In January, the selection of Raleigh being made primarily because o' the fact that at this time the Legislature will be In session and the association will be able to present its claims for needed legislation more cirectly and more satisfactorily.

WILL MOVE RUTHERFORD Board of Education of Western North ' Carolina Conference Prospecting For 8lte For Institution. ' Charlotte.The fact that Ruther; ford College will almost certainly be moved within the next eighteen months to a city of some size opens up an Interesting and attractive op portunity for Charlotte to add to Its' reperttolre an educational Institution which would Se a distinct contribution, to the city's life. It Is at present situ-, ated a mile and a half from Connelly Springs, half-way between Hickory and Morganton. It la halt a century old, has s record of extremely use ful service and In other days took exceptionally high rank among the state's institutions. ' ' : This Is one of three colleges, under the exclusive control of the Western North Carolina Methodist Conference. The other two are Davenport, for girls, at Lenoir, and Weavervllle, eight miles from Ashevllle across the Blue Ridgo. Trinity and Greens boro Female Colleges are under the Joint control of the Western North Carolina and the , North Carolina Conferences. At the annual meeting of the conference board of education held at Statesville In November it was decided to move Rutherford Col lege to the town or city making the most attractive offer and which, to gether with this, seemed In all points Attest for the school. The chief rea son for this Is the lack of local pat ronage, there being but slight source on which to draw as things now are. Rev. Gilbert T. Kowe, pastor of Tryon Street Methodist church, of Charlotte, is president of the board of education. There are twenty-four members, each district being repre sented by a minister and a layman.

Prosecution ot ex press companies ' for overcharging shippers was Indicated by' Commis sioner Lane, at the, exureus rale hear lug, to be the intention of the inter state commerce commission. W. A.

He- added that posi tive Instructions Were given by the company to all Its representatives to make refunds , on all discoverable overcharges. ' "Well," said Commissioner Lane, "it is conclusively established that the agents of the companies them selves do not understand the tariffs and regulations of 'the companies. By an examination of the business of the companies for one day, we find 111016 than 3,000 overcharges. Now, then, we propose to prosecute the compa nies for making these overcharges. They are clearly violations of the law." Mr. Ryan presented comparative tables of the operations of express companies In Great Britain, France and Germany, and those of the Unit ed StateB. They showed, generally, that for similar service, weights and distances, the foreign rates were con siderably lower than those in this country.
