Osborne's Work Liuht,

Atlanta, Ga.-The efforts of Thomas
M. Osborne, of New York, who recent
ly served a self-imposed sentence to
Auburn prison, to learn at first hand
the Psychological effect of penitenti-
airy life upon the minds Of prisoner
recently were characterized as we'll

ing in Good Words, the paper print
ed within the walls of the Atlanta
Federal prison.
This article under the caption of

""Mr. Osborne's trip to Tophet with a
string tied to himself, was both esti-
mable and entertaining, and that he
deserved credit for directing atten-
dion to prison problems. The article
adds however, that though this PEN
itentiary Columbus" really may have
gained some ideas about physical ex-
istence in Jail, he actually got no
deeper than the surface of the infer
nos in which all bona fide convicts
must live"

Teaching Prince School Manners.

>London.-King Gearge and his con-
sort, Queen Mary are learning more
thoroughly every day that being a
king and queen is not much more
than an empty honor. It will obtain
for them the deferential treatment Of
those about them, but it does not en-.
title them to set at naught the hide
bound customs of the country, even
in the slightest degree.
This fact has been brought home
to them forcibly during the past few
weeks. Much to their aston shment
they have learned that the unique and
picturesque customs of famous Elton
college are more powerful than even
the wishes of a king and a queen
and are not to he ignored or sus.
pended even to obhge a kings son.
Much to the chagrin of the royal pair
it has been decided that Prince Hen
ry, third son Of George and Mary,
and only twice removed from the sue
cession to the British throne, must
take his dose of Elton medicine"
along with the sons Of proud dukesh
and marquises and earls and in the
company Of the sons Of mere com
moners.

for the Southeast was the slogan at
a meeting held here on the occasion

servation Exposition by several hun

representatives of the land and indus
trial department, and live stock

working for the upbuilding of the
South, the land and industrial depart
ment striving to attract new industries
and settlers and the others giving aid
wherever possible to farmers already
in the Southeast and particularly to
newcomers who often need advice as
to local conditions in order to he sue
cessful. On addition strong effort
will be made to keep farmers already
in the South from moving away to
other sections.

ed with the meeting and believes
that it will result in increasing the
value of the work which the South
ern and affiliated lines are doing for
the upbuilding of the South.

CHANGE FOR FOUR TAR HEELS
Competition Strong For Position Of
Collector Of Revenue at
Panama.

3 North Carolina is in the fight for
the position of Collector of Revenue
at Panama. There are four candi-
dates for the position: Charles n
Vance OF Black Mountain. A. C. Avery
or Morganton, William Wilson of Hen
derson and D. H. MeCoalough of Char
lotte.
Colonel Goethals, who is chief of
everything AIT Panama, wants a man
who is familiar with the Canal Zone
to have the place. He has indicated
as much to the War Department.
Other states have candidates, who
are at Panama, and il North Carolina
expects to win, united effort will
have to be made for Mr.. McCollough
Or some other Tar Heel familiar with
the Isthmus.
Representative Webb, supported by
a number of Charlotte citizens, has
taken UP the fight for McCollough,
who is said to be satisfactory to
Cocktails.
Secretary Garrison of the Depart
ment of War makes the appointment.
John W.. Thompson of Raleigh has
already been appointed a deputy col
lector for the Canal Zone.
president Wilson made an import
ant statement concerning the Inter
state Commerce Commission recently.
When asked about a successor to
COMMISSIONS Charles A Prouty,
whose resignation has been rendered,
the President said that he had not
accepted Mr.. Prouty's resignation and
would not do so until he found man
for the place. He stated that he had
not found the man.
Two weeks ago it seemed certain
that ex-Gov. Robert B. Glenn of North
Carolina would get a place on the
commission. Since, a very determin-
ed fight has been made to put New
England man in Judge ,Prouty's place.
At the same time, friends of Commits
sioner Clements, whose term expires
next year, have urged the President
to retain him. The matter is far from,
settled.

Ask FOR AN INVESTIGATION
Call on Governor to Appoint Special
Rate Commission Provided For In
the Act to Adjust Rates-WiIF Make
Appointments Soon.

Raleigh.-Formal protests were fill
NJ with Governor Craig recently by
nine of the railroad companies doing
Interstate freight business in North

commission provided for in the act 'be
amounted to investigate and adjust the

The Southern Railway, the Atlantic
nnast Line and the SeaIboard Air
line, more especially, file exhibits
o1ong with their protests that show
differences between the rates in this
state and a number of other states,
and the effect that the application of
III proposed rates will have on their
earnings. ALI the railroads assert that
the rates are low to degree that they
ara confscatory and disastrous to the
railroads in North Carolina.
The Atlantic Coast Line submits an
exhibit to show that the present rates
DIN North Carolina sare considerably
lower than the rates in effect in a num-
her of the other states in this section,
and that the application of the Justice
act rates would put them so far below
rates in other states as to indicate on
their face that they are confiscatory
and disastrous to the railroads.
The Southern Railway gives a spe-
oial exhibit that compares. Minnesota
rates with the North Carolina rates
and aserts that Minnesota rates are
IS to so per cent higher on lumber,
lathes and shingles than those pro.
posed under the Justice act.
Another exhibit sets out a large va.
rety Of commodities with compare
son of rates in North Carolina with
those in Minnesota, and is designed to
show that the application of the JUS
tice act rates would give North Caro-
lima cuts in large percentage under
the Minnesota rates.
There are also comparisons of Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Alabama and
North Carolina rates.
The 'Seaboard Air Line protest also
carries exhibits that compare the
rates in North Carolina, Virginia
