BIG MEETING HELD
AT MITCHELL

- On Thursday of last week the meet
ing to discuss the cross state auto
road that will pass through Kadoka;
was held at Mitchell. Delegates from
present TO the number OF about seven
hundred. Rapid City, Interior and
Kadoka were the only towns west OF
/ the Missouri river that displayed in
terest in the proposed highway to the
extent of having delegates present at
the meeting. But very little was ac-
complished by the meeting owing to
the fight of the towns between Sioux
Falls and Mtchell, as TO which route
will be recognized connecting those
two townsville one through Alexan-
tria or the one through Salem.
The following report from the Mitch
ell Republican is a Yerv good sum-
mary of the meeting and we herewith
reproduce it;
The state highway across South Da-
kota from Sioux Falls to Mitchell and
TO Rapid City is a sure thing and will
be built. That was the preponder-
ance Of the sentiment in the big mass
conyention held in Mitchell Thursday
of last week, and attended by tho rep
fesentatives Of thirty-two towns along
the line OF the route. The greatest
humber Of men came from the towns
east, because there is big contest on
as to what. route Will be chosen bea
tween Mitchell and Sioux Fslls-the
Salem or north route, or Alexandria
and the aouth route. It was the con-
test between these two route which
BROUGHT ont such an enthusiastic body
of nel, stretching all the way from
SiouI Falls to Rapid CITY.
lit was not'long after the convention
was in session thati it was evident the
settlement of the two routes could
not be decided justly and fairly by
the convention without entailing a
hard fight and leaving very bad i'm
preston whore the best of harmony
should prevail. The Salem and Alex
andria adhelpnta were watching tor
every possible advantage for their
supporters, until the situation grew
so intense that any idea OF reaching
q definite con nclusion was abandoned
For the meeting.
The perplexing question wes left to
the credentials committee to solve.
This committee was made up of Hen
~ 'Heinricks, Rapid City Charles
Tidrick. Chamberlain. e. L. Meisch,
Alexandria, Tug Wilson, Salem, and
Martin Johnson, Kadoka. During the
afternoon tho committees brought in
its report, and suggested that one
man from each town on the route be
permitted representation in the con-
yention to vote on the question of the
northern or southern route. This lead
to a suspicion on the part of the Sa-
lem route that the representatives
living west of Mitchell might throw
their strength and support to the
Alexandria route, and they entered
an objection to such plan. The dis
cussion that followed was good natur-
ed and at the same time was quite
serious II resulted in rejection of
the plan, and the credentials commit
tee was asked to retire and present
something better. and in the previous
talks several plans were evolved 10
which the committee gave some no.
tice in the second deliberatiop.
When the committee retained an
other plan. was suggested. 1t was this, |,

FATHER AND SON GUILTY.
The McCullens of Sampson Sentenced
for Second Degree Murder.

Clinton, N. c., Nov. 2-The trial
of William r. McCullen and his son,
James McCullen, charged with the
murder of Jonah Simmons. was con-
cluded here to-day after consuming
ten days of this term of the court
The case was hard fought by both the
State and the defense, each side hav-
ing a strong array of counsel. The
jury took the case at noon to-day and
after being out about one hour re-
turned a verdict of guilty, as to both
defendants, of murder in the second
degree.
The McCullens are men of some
prominence, and it is not believed
they intended killing Simmons, but
that they shot him in the legs to
wound and brighten him. From the
wound received the injured man bled
to death. The elder McCullen was
sentenced to serve two years on the
county roads and pay the widow OF
Simmons $4,000. He is required to
be confined in jail when OF able to
work on the roads. James McCullen
is given a sentence of twenty years
in the penitentiary.

SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT CARS.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Urges That Railroads Give Relief
People VIII Suffer for Coal.

Washington, D. c., Nov g.
Shortage of freight cars. the menace
OF coal famine and industrial pa
ralysis in some parts OF the country,
has become so serious that the Inter
state Commerce Commission to-day
proposed TO shippers and railroads
drastic recommendation for its re-
lief, with a thinly yelled intimation
that should they fail TO remedy the
situation the Commission itself would
find way TO do SO.
The condition is acute" declared
Commissioner Franklin K Lane, who
for several weeks has been conduct
ing an inquiry. Great institutions
OF the country are practically out Of
are no cars for its transportation. II
an immediate remedy is not found.
people in parts of this country will
be freezing to death because OF their
inability to get coal"
The car shortage is said to have
been found to be due in part to delay
in unloading cars and the slow move
ment Of freight cars and failure Of
railroads to return cars to the lines
owning them. In the latter case it is
said railroads hold cars, paying a
nominal charge for their use. This
the Commission denounces as moth
ing less than theft
The investigation of slow move
ment of freights developed that a
freight car averaged about twenty
miles day, and that while one was
moving thirteen were standing still.

The Long Staple Cotton.
(From the Gastonia Gazette

CASTOR County probably produces
more long staple cotton than any
other one county in North Carolina.
Until recent years no long staple was
grown in the upland sections of the
South. 1t had always been raised in
the Mississippi Delta almost exclusive
and people had gotten the idea that
it could not be grown anywhere else.
To a few men is due the credit Of
disproving this false idea and setting
about to breed long staple that
could be successfully and profitably
grown in upland sections To Mr..
Perry Lewis, Of CASTOR County, is
due perhaps as much honor for this
as any other one man. His Lewis
Long Staple cotton, bred by him on
his farm near Gastonia through a Sc
ries Of years, has gained a wide repu-
tation and is being experimental with
now in many sections of the South.
It's growth here has about passed the
experimental stage and hundreds of
farmers in this and adjoining coun-
ties are raising it. 1t is said by those
who have raised it that it produces
about as much to the acre as can be
obtained Of short staple and at no
| more cost per acre. It brings on the
local market from five to ten cents a
pound more than the short staple.
Hence it is gratifying to know that
our farmers are taking to it so rap
idly and readily.

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING UNION.
A Plan for All Schools Of State to
Enter Debating Contest-Sew Ed

About Complete.
Especial to The Caucasian

Especial to The Caucasian.)
Chapel Hill. y. G.. Nov. 6.-A
movement OF Statewide significance
had It's rise at the State University
this week in the form OF an organiZa-
ton OF North Carolina High School
Debating Union" The two debating
societies Of the University evolved
the plan. and expressed as its purpose
the stimulation Of greater interest III
debating and encouragement of inter-
school debating among the secondary
schools in the State. Towards the
accomplishment OF this end more than
375 letters have been sent to the high
and graded school of the State urging
their cooperation. The plan provides
for triangular debate between
schools of the same standing and
convenience of location. The two So
cieties of the University will suggest
the query and provide, from the Uni
versity Library in pamphlet form,
material covering both sides Of the
question, free OF cost. Each school
will send out a team TO debate the
negative side of the query and keep
team at home to debate the affirma-
tive side. The schools winning both
sides of the debate will be entitled
to send both teams to Chapel Hill
where a contest will be held to deter
mine the two teams that shall contest
in the final debate for the State
championship. The school winning
the debate in the finals will be award
ed the "Aycock Memorial Cup" with
the name of the school and the mem
bers of the team engraved on it. If
a school should win the cup for two
successive years it becomes that
schools property.
The new educational building, a
gift of the Peabody Fund, Is nearing
completion and will be ready for oc-
cupancy the first of 1913. The Pea
body Fund contributed $4,000 to-
wards it's erection. 1t is a handsome
structure and will be a credit to the
educational department of the Uni
versity as we'll as to North Carolina.
The preliminaries for Cardinals
first intercollegiate debate for the
college year will be held November
10. The debate is with Washington
and Lee of Lexington, Va, about the
middle of December. The contest will
be held either at Lexington or Lynch
burg, Va.
What is considered to be the first
definite step towards the restoration
of athletic relations between all the
colleges of North Carolina was taken
in Raleigh recently in the organiza-
ton of an intercollegiate basket
ball league. All of the leading col
leges of the State formed the league
with the agreement of playing a Sc
ries Of two games with each college.
This evident sign of restoring athletic
peace amongst the colleges of the
State has been received everywhere
with commentator, and as a sign of
good omen for all interested.
