A few days ago we published lu this paper a list of the names of the seniors who are doing satisfactory work and are eligible for graduation this spring.

The Washington investigation into the unexpected death of Basil Miles, American diplomatist and former husband of the present Mrs. H. H.

(International N«w«r#«1) Receive Final Instructions lister M. trieaman, census supervisor, Mew fork, giving final in structions to a few of the six thousand census enumerators as they prepared to begin their work throughout the great Metropolis. More than 125,000 persons are being employed throughout the five boroughs in obtaining the required data in the present national census. (littruUml Nmnal Post Dated Checks Termed Worthless Supreme Court Holds That Giver Of Such Worthless Paper Is Not Liable Under Law. Raieign.—postoater checks do not get their givers in bad and credit ors accepting them take them, not as a representation that the ut terer of such instruments has funds or credit at the bank, but expects at date written on the face of the check to have the funds against it, the Supreme court holds in a batch of 11 opinions handed down. This is the first time that the court has reached that question. It has held valid the “bad check” law, though by a very narrow count of three to two. Many magistrates and trial justices in city, county and even the superior courts are hojd ing that when a person gives a check post-dated, if that paper goes into the bank and is returned for insufficient funds the law Is vio lated exactly as it would have been had the check been given without the postdate. Complaints that there are merchants and “stick'' traders using the courts for punishment of these postdaters have reached Ra leigh often. Banks vary tire prac tice. Many of these institutions will under no conditions take a post dated check. Others accept them understanding that there is no re dress if tlie check is not honored. In Wake Case. The case decided against the commonwealth originated in Wake and wes tried In February. F. H. Crawford, of Wake, gave the Ideal Brick Company of Slocum a check for a past due account of $133. This check was drawn on the Citizens bank of Wake Forest. The Ideal company deposited the check in a Fayetteville bank and when it got back, to Wake Forest there was no Money. The defendant knew at the time that lie had no money or credit, it was alleged, at that bank. Chief Justice Stacy in writing the opinion and stating the facts says: ‘‘The verdict is silent as to wheth er this information was conveyed to the representative of the payee of the check. However, the fact that the check was not presented for payment until after its due date would indicate that such was the understanding.” This transaction May 12, 1928, got into court a month ago. The defendant subsequently was adjudg ed a bankrupt and the Ideal Brick Company proved its claim before a referee and was paid a dividend on that check. Thereafter the defend ant was discharged in bankruptcy. He was indicted March, 1929, and when tried by Judge Daniels a month ngo was adjudged not guil ty. This was a special verdict and the state appealed. Chief Stacy gets rid of it quickly by nffirihing Judge Daniels. The chief says: Not Violation. “The fact that the check is post dated would seem to imply no more than that on its date, the drawer will have or expects to have, funds or credit in the bank sufficient to insure its payment at that time. 11 R. C. L., 853. Thus the status of the parties, except for the addition al promise represented thereby, would aparently be the same, or re main unchanged, for the time be ing at least. Under the facts of the present case, therefore, it could hardly be said that the defendant has violated the statute which mak es it unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, to issue and deliver to another, any check or draft, on any bank or depository, or the pay m=nt of money or its equivplent, knowing at the t'me that the mak er or drawer thereof has not suf ficient funds on deposit ■> or c edit with such bank or depository with which 11 pay tljr'Same upon pre sentation.’’. UZIEST MM III WORLD IS FOUND Henry Ford, as all the world knows, has started modern methods on his huge rubber plantation con cessions, up the Amazon river from here. He has increased the wages of local labor and has set .a stand ard that is forcing the owners of other plantations to offer more de sirable surroundings to the 'caboclo' or peon. But Mr. Ford faces anoth er task, perhaps unknown to him self. Intelligent inhabitants of this section of Brazil are hoping that in some way, he will infuse these sace "caboclos" with a new set of ideas about life, which will mean—more ambition, more zeal, more activity, writes the Detroit News special cor respondent from Belam <Para) Bra zil. The ' caboclo" of today, with rare exceptions, is about the laziest man in the world. He gives the impres sion that his only business is to look, not too energetically, for the man who invented work. Should the "caboclo" find him, he might possi bly become so excited as to come out of his lethargy long enough to assault said work inventor. Mixture of Races. The "caboclo is a strange mixture of races. In some cases he is almost pure Indian, Portuguese and Afri can negro. So much does the origi nal Indian look like the Japanese that in prehistoric ages, this section of Brazil was invaded by some oriental race. The caboclo s philosophy of life is summed up in the question, “Why w'ork in the Amazon calley?" And there is much on his side—Assahy. a tropical fruit; Tacaca, a sort of tapioca, bananas, fish and game are plentiful. They can be had for prac tically no effort. And the c&moclo has scarcely any thing that might be called an ex pense. Clothes? He wears a cotton shirt and a pair of cotton trousers. He needs no shoes. He makes his hat out of some Hanes from the forest HU wife dresses even more simply. And hU children, up to the age of five or six, do not dress at all. Should a caboclo need a new shirt, or wish to present hU wife with a new skirt, he wanders Into the Jun gle for a few days, collects rubber, or Brazil nuts, sells the product of this assiduous labor to the nearest trader, and goes back to his ham mock for another month. HU wife U a great help to him. She takes care of the fishing and hunting. Both are completely happy. Gen erally they gaze with deep pity on the white men who InsUt on slaving 365 days ever year. Occasionally the caboclo does go to work for some concern, but, as he U very quick at figures, he works each week only enough days to bring him the few milreU needed for some special purpose. Not an ex tra hour will he work, If he can help It. Henry Fords representatives found out all about the caboclo lh short order. When the Ford organization offer from 27 to 33 cents per day the caboclo worked five days i week, some weeks. When, however, the minimum went to 60 cents a day, he was quite content to work only three days a week. It was only when they were threatened with permanent dis charge if they didn't show up each day In the week that the caboclos dolefully settled down to making more money than they'd ever dreamed of making. ___ i. '.'j'jss_= As things go at present, the “cab oclo” works steadily for as much as two months, then quits to Join his wife and children, and enjoy a well earned rest of at least six months. He will enjoy It somewhere on the banks of the Amazon, It doesn't matter where. When he quits the Ford planta tions, he buys a small canoe, goes down to where his family Is waiting, motions them aboard, and lets the current carry him down stream. On .ie travels until he gets tired of the somewhat uneventful navigation. He stops at a suitable spot and builds a small shack, never trou bling about who might own the land. He regards himself as the iwner of the whole Amason valley. So he settles down, In the circle of his admiring family.
