ra,rfnrIar convention means more to

,,a,am.ur in the south during the
last twenty-five years, for after two
DAYS discussion il was decided to
s5orr the "Fourteen-Unit Standard"
NJ the Carnegie Foundation in all the
high schools and preparatory schools
in the south.
AImo.t the entire time of the CON
ysntfou was taken up with this one
question The most eminent educa-
tors If the south and from other parts
If the country took part in the dis
cpssion. Dr.. Pritchett, Presid, Mt
the Carnegie Foundation, was present
and Joined and it was extremely graf
living to him when the standard was
unanimously adopted, particularly in
view of the fact that he is a southern
born man.
The adoption of the standard means
that southern schools will be placed
on the same basis as the schools of
the north and east For many years
higher education has been handicap
ned in the south by reason of the fact
that there were many small so-called
colleges which would accept students
long before they were equipped to be-
gin college work and would turn them
out with a diploma, but with little
education. Under the new standard
each student must complete fourteen
units of study in the high schools or
schools before he will be
to any of the colleges of the !
south.
A feature of the convention was a
banquet Friday night at the hotel Pat
ten, given by the Vanderbilt men of
Chattanooga, and attended by many
prominent citizens and visitors as

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 6.-Hon.
G. \. Tillman, the recent Republican
candidate for Governor, gave out an
interesting interview in which he
charges, among other things, that
ninety per cent OF the negroes voted
against him; the greatest losses in
Republican ranks were in the big
counties where there are whisky in.
terests; that he was snapped for
Democratic votes for Austin.
Mr.. Tillman received substantially
the same vote as Judge Taft and not
withstanding his loss of at least one
fourth Of the Republican votes. nearly
all the negroes, and all the purchas-
able vote" he expresses the belief that
his campaign was not fruitless, how
ever, but that it helped the cause OF
State temperance.
Returns are slow coming in. At
noon today partial returns were in
giving vote in detail in seventy-six of
the ninety-six counties The returns
received give Bryan 114,513 votes and
Taft 7S.4S9, Bryan's majority 36,240.
Patterson 1884, Tillman 1855, ma
jority of 96,S99 for Patterson. Most
of the twenty counties from which no
returns have been received returned
Republican majorities four and two
years ago.
These counties in 1904 gave Roose-
welt 1920 and Parker 1919 a ma
jority for Roosevelt. Accepting this as
a basis for calculating the vote OF
these same counties in the presfden-
tial election this year Bryan's MAORI
ty would be reduced to 22,923.
These same counties in 1906 gave
Evans 23,496 and Patterson 1928, a |
majority for Evans of 1O,573. Ac-
,epting this result as basis for cal
the vote for Governor this |
year Patterson's majority would be

RIGHT TO TALK
TO THEIR COUNSEL
GRANTED ALLEGED NIGHT RID.
ERS BY THE COURT IN
oBIoN COUNTY.

UNION CITY, Tenn, Nov 6.-Rice
A. Pierce, attorney for the alleged
night riders, scored one important
point today in his battle with the
States attorney. He forced Judge
Jones to grant him a right which he
has been denied for the past two
weeks, the right to hold private con-
ferences with his clients. 1t was
quite victory for Pierce, as he has
been in the peculiar and unusual pre-
dicament of trying to defend men with
whom he was not allowed to talk.
1t was a shrewd move on the part
of the prisoners attorney and fell on
the lawyers for the State like thun-
derclap from a clear sky. They may
have anticipated it, but the surprise
depicted on their faces said otherwise;
momentarily they hesitated and wav-
cred between direct opposition and
half way assent. At last, however,
they yielded and the Court ruled in
favor of Mr.. Pierce.

efforts to see his clients. He met re-
