FIND EVIDENCE
BOUNDARY SUIT
May Result In Decision Favorable
10 This State

Hickory, April 20.--On the strength
of finding the original surveyors notes
In an old chest or trunk In a garnet,
the supreme court Of the United States
has decided to allow the reopening Of
the boundary line litigation between
North Carolina and Tennessee.
A new chapter in this, famous dis
pute was written in Hickory Wednes-
day when counsel for both Tennessee
and North Carolina met here and took
dispositions from an important wit
ness.
The surveyors field notes were
found at his home last November.
They were In the handwriting of his
grandfather, William Davenport, and
bear date of August, 1921. William
Davenport was the Surveyor for this
state and Robert Armstrong for Ten
negsee at the time the survey was
made. The notes of the survey have
been lost In capitol fires. the war, and
one way or another, and the marks
oh bttos fothbt ttS.s nave Dttu OD-
liberated. Tennessee people have been
claiming large amounts of land which
North Carolina has claimed were on
her side of the boundary. The case
has once been decided against North
Carolina. but this new evidence has
decided the supreme court 20 reopen
the case.
The attorneys we're at Patterson
| fhis week taking the dispositions OF
Captain Jones and others as TO find
ing the field notes. Today they took
the deposition OF Mrs. c. A. Cilley, OF
this city, who identified the handwrit-
ing Of Mr.. Davenport. who married the
second time Mrs. Cilley's great-grand-
mother.
Lawyers here today we're Attorney
General Gates. OF Tennessee; Attor-
ney Mccoskey. OF Tennessee. and this
states lawyers, Attorney-General
Beckett and Messrs. Theodore f.
Davidson and Foster Sondley, of
AshevilIe. and Judge W. b. Council.
Of Hickory: and also Mr.. John Frank
lin Shields. OF the firm OF Peck,
Shields & Clark. OF Philadelphia. who
represents parties interested in Ten
nessee's claims.

PROVES
MASTER Of GAVEL
Minority ReviseS Opinionof Clark
As Presiding officer

Washington, April 2O.-House re-
publicans have revised their opinion
of Champ Clark as presiding officer,
| and their sad revision has filled the
democrats. with exceeding great joy.
OF course no knotty question has yet
presented itself for solution by the
new speaker, but it is generally ad-
mitted that he already has proved
himself master of the gayeI. He
has each day insisted upon preserva-
ton of order, and has made that in
sistence tell. Each day the republic
cans have led the applause when he
has brought down the gayel. literally
and metaphorically, upon the unruly
house and has proclaimed himself its
master.
Also, 1t has been surprising to dis
cover that Speaker Clark is a stickler
for the forms OF parliamentary polite
ness. 1t has been the custom under
the Cannon regime for members to
Interrupt each other and ask questions
| III colloquy. without going through the
formal business of addressing the
speaker and receiving, through the
chair. the consent OF the member hold
ing the floor to make the Interrupt
| ton.
This loose practice Speaker Clark
is determined to stop. He has a bet
ter and bigger voice than any mem
Der OF the house, and whenever a
member breaks into debate without
the formal preliminaries he is drowned
out by the booming OF Champ Clark's
deep throat as the speaker goes
through the formula prescribed for
| the occasion.
IL has been noted also that Champ
Clark doesn't lean on his parliament
tary clerk, Judge Crisp, as Uncle Joe
was wont to lean on Mr.. Kinds. The
new speaker merely hits the sound
| ing board OF his desk with the gayel,
blow worthy of Thor, and announces
that the point Of order is sustained or
oyerruled. as the case may be. Later
on he gets up the presidents and
prints his reasons In the Record. II
takes less time that way.
| And as there are presidents to back
up every conceivable variety of de-
cision theIspeaker knows. he will have
the copy atfhe printing Office in plenty
Of time 10 keep thu Record straight
II the unexpected and the impossible
should happen. and II Judge Crisp
should not be able 10 find the proper
precedent Mr.. Clark. as the Nilsson
rians have II. "allays" that he will be
able TO make a perfectly good. brand
new precedent to order.

This Il very kind IN said Mr.. Broom

Interested adviser who will tell how
TO make cur brooms last twice as long
as the average woman succeeds In
making them last. He says we should
never sweep ahead Of as; that Is. push
stun along with the broom. for this
sometimes results In the splints
breaking OF. after which they remain
uneven, aud a broom will never sweep
clean with uneven spllnts. He also
says that the majority OF women al
ways sweep with the same side Of the
broom 10 the front This makes the
broom lopsided. so they can use II in
no other way. and the points OF the
splInts set bent all one way and they
get together at the ends and can not
take hold Of the dust as they should.
The correct way TO use a broom is to
hold the handle vertically so that all
the splInts In the face OF the broom
will take hold at the same time. "ln
sweeping the broom should be swung
back and forth from a point at an
equal distance IN front. Then every
day the sweeper should turn the broom
around 80 as to sweep with a different
side. In this manner the broom wears
evenly. ! have seen brooms used IN
this way which we're worn almost to
the binding threads. but that still
swept perfectly" the broom man says.
