Snook, of the Atlanta federal penitentiary, announced Sunday that he had tendered his resignation to Attorney General Mitchell effective April 1. Washington dispatches last night said the department of justice had disclosed yesterday that the warden had been given 30 days in which to resign and that the period expired April 4. The warden said his letter con tained an unqualified determina tion to leave the service. He came here as warden in 1926. The request tor his resignation follbwed Warden Snook's protest against the “planting" of depart ment of justice agents in the prison here as prisoners. Mrs. Mabel Walker Wtldebrandt, assistant attorney general in charge of prisons, at Washington yesterday said the warden had been asked to reslRn, “because of utter lack of ad ministrative ability.” It was also 1 said other things entered into the j request, but that the warden's In tegrity and character were not In volved.” You see, we need cruisers enough to outscrap other nations either 1 j way.—Rochester Times-Union.

(Interactional Kntiriil) Farm Population Is Lowest In 20 Years Bin: Birth Rate Fargo Factor In Offsetting Rush Of Families From Rural Districts. Washington.—Tiie department of agriculture announced that the | farm .population was now the smallest in twenty years, with 27. 511.000 on the farms on January 1, compared with a peak of 32,000,000 l In 1900. The bureau's estimate also shows a decrease in farm population dur ing the last year despite improved agricultural conditions and a slight slackening in industrial employ ment, the January 1, 1929, figure comparing with a farm population of 27,699,000 persons on January 1, 1928. The decrease in farm population in the last year would have been much greater were it not offset by an excess of births over deaths, the figures .revealing that in the move ment of population from and to farms, 1,960,000 persons left farms during the year and 1.362,000 per sons moved from cities to farms. The movement away lrom farms slowed up somewhat during the year compared with immediately preceding years, but the movement from cities to farms also was small er. Thus it is shown that 1,960.000 persons left farms during the last year, compared with 1.978.000 in 1927, and with 2.155.000 in 1926. The movement from cities to farms was 1,362,000 persons last year, 1, 374.000 in 1927 and 1,135,000 tn 1926. The large farm birth rate of twenty-three births per 1,000 per sorfs and small death rate of eight deaths per 1,000 persons has been a big factor offsetting the farm-to clty movement, so that the net loss of farm population last year was 188.000 persons, compared with 193.000 in 1927 and with 649,000 in 1926. Politics Warming About Blacksburg Blacksburg, S. C,—Politics wa^es warm in Blacksburg. With the com ing of the mayor's election on the j 26th near at hand, a third candi- j date for mayor has announced him- j self at the eleventh hour—Roland Black—and the race is on. Other candidates already in the race are: Charles Baber, a former | mayor; and E. L. Jones, one of the ; present councilmen. In addition to j the mayor’s election, the question of j selling the local light and power j plant to the Southern Public Util ities company for $35,000 will be put i to the vote of the people, and al though it is believed a majority of the citizens favor the measure, con siderable opposition has developed. Many voters may be disqualified by the failure to pay their taxes before January 1. A citizens meeting will be held Friday night, at which a represen tative of the Southern Public Util ities company will be present to ex plain the proposition to any who may not understand, and to answer questions on the subject. 'Considerable Threat of Disturbance And Spasmodic Outbreaks Occur At Elizabethton. Elizabeth ton, Tenn., March 19.— A strike started less than a week ago by 800 girls of the American Glanzstoff Corporation, Rayon Manufacturers, today found the Glanzstoff plant and that of the American Bemberg Corporation ad joining closed; 5,500 workers idle, j and National Guardsmen comrnis ! sioned as aides of Sheriff J.

Dr. Arthur Mothwurf, president of the Glanzstoff Corporation, an nounced that he Intended to go to New York today to be absent a week, and said that his plant would not be operated during that time.

Several hundred employes enter ed the two mills by detouring through fields In the rear yesterday morning. By afterhoon a crowd of several thousands persons was re ported to have gathered near the mills and when a change of shifts was attempted, workers who at tempted to leave were stoned. The car of an unidentified worker was damaged and he was beaten by the j strikers when he attempted to! charge through tire crowd of strik ers. Leaders-of the newly formed tex tile union have indicated they will not return to work until their or ganisation is recognized. Strikers ' are. demanding upward revision of w’age scales as high as 30 per cent. , John Rankin, of Liverpool, who gave away $3,500,000 during his life- . time, died at the age of 83.
