NO EPIDEMIC IN THE SOUTH

Washington, Aug. 5.-Denial
there is a condition even approach
ing a famine or plague of pellagra
in the south, was the gist of reso-
luton today passed by the confer
ence here with Surgeon General
Cummings of the United States health
department.
The resolution declared that such
reports were erroneous and re-
fiected upon the south.
There was much discussion of the
resolution, which was prepared by a
committee of five commissioners by
DR.. D. Olin cf West Tennessl% and
others including DR.. Rankin of
North Carolina.
The latter also contended it was
a reflection on the south to leave an
impression that either a famine or
epidemic existed in the south, but
he did favor the cooperation of
southern federal agencies in it's eff
fort to promote better health condi-
tions in the south.

ONLY ONE BID FOR
STATE PRINTING

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 5.-With the
time limit for submitting bids for
doing half million dollars worth of
printing for the State during the en-
suing two years expiring at noon to-
morrow, only one bid had been re-
ceived by Commissioner CT Labor
and Printing when his office closed
yesterday afternoon. The container
for that lone bid bore an out of town
postmark, and nothing has been re-
ceived from any of the Raleigh
printeries at present holding print
ing contracts.
Contracting the States printing
this year is being watched with more
than passing interest because of the
printers strike that has partially
tied up most of the shops in Raj
eigh since May /. Very little print
ing has been done for the State for
three months past, and much of the
work that the session of the General
Assembly piled up still lies untouch-
ed in Raleigh printshops.

GOVERNOR HARDING
Of RESERVE BOARD
SAYS There ARE
TW ELVE RESERVOIRS
Of Money and There is a Pipe
Line Connecting Them But
That the 10000 Member
Banks Control Credits. Some
of Them Must Have Progress
sive Rates Applied.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The ebb and
flow of monetary credits was dis
cussed today before the agricultural
committee of the United States SEN
ate by Governor Harding of the Re
serve board who said that we have
twelve reservoirs of money in this
country, and pipe line running be-
tween them. SO that funds may be
drawn from one section of the coun-
try to another as money is needed in
their respective localities.
But the matter of handling credits
is left with the individual banks since
it is impossible for the board to lay
down an absolute rule as to who are,
and who are not entitled to credit in
all parts of the country.
With reference to the progressive
interest rates" referred to Governor
Harding said. There are 10000 mem
ber banks of the system, and some of
them ask for credit near the danger
point, and that is why the progressive
interest rates are applied We trust
we will not have to apply these rates
again.

executive clemency are to be laid
before Governor Morrison in at least
seven cases wherein prisoners have
been convicted of capital offenses
and are to die in the electric chair
during the months of September,
October and November.
The governor has fixed the dates
for these seven criminals. The first,
Doll Little, dies September 20 un-
less his appeal is heard by the chief
executive for life Imprisonment, and
the last one, Claude Morehead, will
die November 80, six days after his
Thanksgiving dinner is served by
the State. The other six are schedul-
ed to die by the electric machinery
fitted into chair between these
two dates, the governor having fix
ed the final hours because the law
imposes this duty upon him.
Murder charges hang over the
heads of the seven men who are
now held in the death cells at the
States penitentiary here. This is the
biggest array of criminals ever herd
ed for an incoming governor to fix
death dates for. Governor Beckett
had many and many were commut-
ed but Governor Morrison is being
called upon to send these seven
men to death by executive order, re-
inforced by the superior court, dur
