DR.. LANDRETH REPLIES TO THE
CHARGE THAT THEY DO NOT
WANT AMENDMENT.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 30
Carried by vote of As to 3--15 to l
lin the state legislatures, after it had
been submitted by congress more
than three to one, national constitu-
tional prohibition is the most demo-
cratic and American thing in demo-
cratic America" was the statement
made by Dr.. Ira Landreth, formerly OF
Nashville, now national secretary of
the Anti-Saloon League of America, in
reply to charges by the brewers that
national prohibition violates the con-
stitution of the United States.
IF self-determination is thing
worth our fighting to give to Euro
peans, then self-determination is good
for the United States, said DR.. Land
rith. ''In the states whose legisla-

BARBER SHOPS
YIE4D TO HIGH
cQST OF LIVING
PRICE or SLAVES WILL BE AD
vANcED IN COLUMBIA TO
TWENTY CENTS.
BEGINNING ON JANUARY FIRST
Members Of the Fraternity Declare
That They Have Been Losing Mon
ey In the Hope That Prices Would
Go Down and Raise Be Avoided.

Old High Cost of Living has scored
another victory in Columbia. After
resisting his encroachments for sew
eral years, the BARRIERS have at last
been forced to capitulate and at a
meeting last night the local fraterni.
ty unanimously agreed that from and
after Thursday, January l, the price Of
a shave in Columbia would be twenty
cents instead of fifteen cents.
The action. taken by the BARRIERS
here was forecasted last week in these
columns II was the inevitable result
of the advance in everything. 1t was
also in line with similar action taken
elsewhere. In fact, so far as can be
ascertained the fifteen cent shave re-
manned longer in Columbia than in
any other city of its size in the coun-
try First class shops almost every
where went to twenty cents years
ago.
The local BARRIERS declared that they
hoped the cost Of living would decline
and that they would not be forced to
advance prices. but that they were
disappointed and the increase was TAX
en- in self defense. 1t was necessary
to meet their ever increasing roll of
expenses.
Only the shave will be advanced
here. The prices of hair cuts, sham
poos, shines and other accessories
will remain just as they have been.
While the nickel advance may mean
but little to the customer, say the
BARRIERS, it will mean a great deal to
the shops. 1t is the difference be-
tween q loss and profit.
At the meeting last night James
Troup was elected president and Will
liam Ray was elected secretary. 1t
was decided to postpone the social SEES
sion and smoker until later date.

DRILLING ACTIVE IN UNION
Ten Crews at Work, and GASher i'
 Expected at Any Time.

Fl Dorado Sept. 12.-Ten drilling crews are active in Union county and yet there is less excitement about oil than at any time since the ill-fated expedition last winter to bring in Trinity failed of it's purpose. The people have settled down to the even tenor of their way and >have steadied their nerves and braced themselves for the big strike, now long overdue.
 Speaking of Trinity it is said that efforts are being made to perforate the casing and bring in oil and that there has been a good showing, but there are many people who think that the best thing to do with Trinity is to forgive and forget and to bore an- other hole.
 Constantine No. 1 is to be used only as gas well, It will be commer- cialized to supply fuel for ElDorado and material for the pipe line has begun to arrive, Garland Grace drove party out there in an automobile 36 feet long. We passed Constantine No. 2, which was "spudded in" Monday 600 feet southeast of No. l, and found a drilling crew busy at work. Great confidence is expressed in this well because it is being bored where both oil and gas are known to exist, and the drillers have their previous ex perience to guide them. Many people are of the opinion it will be a gusher. Others think it will produce enly gas.

Claims the Hog Record
 of Little River County

Frank ,Quarles, a member of the pig club from the Hicks Community, be- lieves that he has broken the hog re- cord in Little River county. He has a pig of the Big Boned Poland China breed that at seven months old weighs 315 pounds. Frank thinks that by the time this SOW is full grown she will be a bouncer. His nrst SOW at ten months weighed the same. She has filtered two sets of pigs, and this young SOW is of the second litter. He is as yet undecided as to whether he will go in for the champion brood SOW record, or the biggest hog record It looks like he has a safe lead for either or both.

Martin Walsh AnnOinted Receiver by Federal Court-Wiil Operate
 Trains Wednesday.

Judge Lon T. JoQes, who attended the hearing of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf Railroad case at Fort Smith last Friday, when creditors asked that a receivership for the road be.appOint- ed. reports that Martin Walsh of Nash vile was made receiver. MT, Walsh is the present manager of the road. His appointment was the result of efforts by people living in the towns along the road. It was represented that Harry Conway, who has large gravel contracts to furnish Little River and other roads with gravel, made an offer to guarantee and defclt that may be incurred in operation in order that he may continue to deliver gravel. Just what arrangements were made for the roads operation eXpens- es are not yet clear, but it was an- nounced from Nashville Monday that the first train would come over We'd nesdav. It was first reported that It would run on MOuudy, puI 1hO io'0i report seems to be the only official re- port received here. If the schedule has been worked out it has not been announced When the road announc- ed on the first of the month reduced wage scale the men all walked out. It is presumed that the labor trouble has been adjusted on some basis.
 From what could be learned the court will not order the road sold un- til a new tryout along new lines is made to operate, It Was hoped that a way could be found to continually operate without ha ing to go to the last resort, that of selling. It has also been said that the court was not sure that the Hot Springs end of the line could be made to pay.

STATE UNIVERSITY IS
 WORTH sl,000y000 State Auditor Gives Reports on the Assets of Arkansas
 school.

Little Rock, Sept. 13.-FiXed assets of the University of Arkansas and the College of Agriculture are valued at approximately $1,000, 900, according to the report of the audit issued yester- day by Van B. Sims, state comptroller. The valation of the ,and is $84,500; buildings, S6O8500, and of equipment, $266,29675. The state holds clear title to this, with the exception of $29,- 133 50, duet on the purchase price of the new experiment farm in Washing ton county. No supplies or materials are included, and it is estimated that these are worth about $1,000,000.
 The audit covers a four-year pe- riod, from July 1, 1916 to July l, 1920. and shows that during this pe- riod, the state expended, from money derived from taxation, for the benefit of the institution, $766, 6,73169, or an average of $191 ,682.92 annually. Ap- proximately 63 per cent was expended for instruction. The report says this is a creditable showing when com- pared with other state universities, where general operating costs are more than 37 per cent.
 S17,000 in Funds.
 There will be approximately $17000 in the treasury to care for emergen- ,cies during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, and it is probable, ac- cording to the report, that necessary increases in salary will require this amount to be added to the available salary appropriation, There is $233,- 499,14, uneXpended of the appropria- tion for the present biennial period, and the mill tax collected for the bene- fit of the university will produce about $250O00 for the same period
 The cash fund coming to the uni versity exclusive of the agricultural extension work, about equaled the amount expended directly by tha state. The government has contribu- ted $72,000; the state has contributed i$5,j04 annually for student labor; interest on endowment bonds rroduc- ed more than $6,500 annually, and ether funds brought the total amount of cash to $1,015,373 A for the four years This fund has been admirably 1 handled by the auditor of the univer- sity, says the report. The net cash balance on July 1, 1920, was $30.- 416.21.

COX DECLARES ThE
 LIQUOR ISSUE DEED
Governor Cox Says Attempt to Picture Him as "Net' is Only
 Propaganda.

Seattle, Wash., Sept. 11.-Prohibi- !ion, the great silent topic of the cam- paign, came openly into the president tial campaign here tonight at the meeting of Governor Cox of Ohio. Democratic presidential nominee.
 The governor, after an introduction to large audience in which his spon- sor, George C. Cottrell, Democratic candidate for United States senator, denounced assertions that the candi- date was a "wet," made the follow ing declarations:
 "As progressive in government, I know when an event has passed by end become part of yesterday, The reactionary rarely does. The friends of world peace and the friends of progress will win this election, and any attempt to divide them on any question not an issue will be unavail- ing"
 "rt was Governor Coxs direct re- ference to the liquor question. That it will open the doors of the cam paign to further and probably heated controversy over prohibition enforce ment was predicted.
 Harding as a Brewer.
 In introducing Governor Cox MT. Cottrell charged that Senator Har- ding, the Republican nominee, had fer 30 years been brewer, owning stock in the local brewery at Marion, O., and also had voted 30 times on the wet side. MT. Cottrell also said Gov ernor Coxs record in Ohio included a Sunday saloon closing law and gen. eral moral leadership" The charges against the governor, he said are partisan politics.
 The brief statement in tonight's s speech of the governor, who has been charged frequently with being a wet or damp candidate, was de- termined upon during conferences with MT. Cotrell and others on his train to- day after day of bombardment upon him in newspapers, telegrams and let ters demanding statement on the subject.
