STUDENTS ENGAGE IN RIOT
Newspaper Correspondent Assaulted
at Chapel Hill, N. C.

Raleigh, N. C.-Threatened by a
crowd of students of the University
Of North Carolina, in the lobby of the
postoftice at Chapel Hill, S. r. Win
tiers, correspondent of the News and
Observer, at that place, was struck by
one of them because of the publica-
ton of an account of gambling by
students at the state university in q
morning newspaper.
A party of eleven, including stu
dents and citizens of Chapel Hill, were
bound over to the court on the charge
Of playing CRAPS" and the report
gave their names. This caused the
attack on him, the evidence being that
only the intervention of students and
hurried call for the police kept the
crowd from beating up Winters.
The faculty of the university and
the authorities of Chapel Hill are on
a campaign to break up gambling at
the university and in the town. The
chief of police of Chapel Hill, in a
statement, says that with what evil
dence is in hand he will be able to
round up the ring leaders in gambling
in the university.

ENGLISH THRONE SKAhiN
PARLIAMENT SETTLING CALDRON
OVER ALLEGED ALLIANCE
OF KING.
Unless Premier Asquith Satisfactorily
Explains He Will Face Danger of
Liberal Rebellion.

London.-Westmin continues to
be seething caldron over what the
Liberals now denounce as the "mu-
tiny of the army aristocrats" against
democratic government. The fact has
been established from all obtainable
evidence that Gen. Hubert Cough and
the other officers of the Third cavalry
brigade demanded and obtained writ
ten assurances that they would not
be ordered to fight Sir Edward Car
sons Ulster volunteers and that these
assurances were obtained largely
through the personal intervention of
the king.
The throne, which additionally has
kept out of party controversies, is in
volved in the discussion as it never
before has been during King Georges
reign or that of his diplomatic father.
The section of the Liberals who op-
posed what they denounce as sur
render to the military oligarchy are
criticising the king with the greatest
freedom. They resent his action in
summoning to the palace Field Mar
shall Lord Roberts, who, in his speech
es, advised the officers that they might
properly erfuse service in suppress
ing the Ulster irreconcilables. They
criticise his majesty for dealing per-
sonally with Field Marshal Sir John
French, chief of the general staff.

party in congress. On the first test,

vote of POT to ITS; the rule itself was
adopted 200 to 172.
Nothing to compare with the scene
had occurred in the house since the
famous Cannon rules fight four years
ago. In vain Representative Under

rank and file Democrats, after listen

gument, swung into the presidents
column, 1919 of them voting to prevent
the amendment of the special rule,
while but 55 followed the leaders in
joining with the minority in opposi-

At any rate, many acres formerly de,

In Suwannee county alone there will
be more than $500 acres in melons
more than double the acreage last

RICH HARVEST AWAITS U. s.
TRADE IN SOUTH AMERICA
Bolivia Man Writes to Local Firm of
Opportunities.

There Is an unusual opportunity for
American enterprise to reap rich harvest
in South America. This is the belief of
stephen P. Smith, a business man Of
Coohabamba Bolivia, as expressed in a
letter to Reeves, Parvin & Co., 1O5 South
Front street
The war in Europe has ended all busi-
ness done there by England, Germany
and France, according to Mr. Smith. The
custom houses are collecting nothing, and
the governments are close to bankruptcy.
Furthermore, great engineering projects
are stopped, he said, because the con-
structing companies can obtain no money
from their home offices. AS a result,
thousands of men are out Of work.
The writer suggests that the business
men NJ Philadelphia through the Cham
Der of Commerce, take steps Immediately
TO open markets with South America.
The North American banks, he contends,
should esta ablsh branches IN South Amer
lean cities, because the banks there can
not now give proper facilities for doing
business with the states.
If those who wish to sell will at the
same time provide buyers for South
American products, he declares, benehcial
results Will soon follow. Mr.. Smith thinks
there should be more ships flying the
American flag He thinks that the Eng
lish and German merchant marines, as
far as South America is concerned, are
out of business.
An opportunity to secure cheaper meat
is also DO nted out by the writer, VINO de-
clares that Argentina can no longer sell
its cattle products in Europe.
