The weather man slipped up yester-
day and got caught in the rain today
without his umbrella. Thousands of
people in this section regret the fact
but nevertheless it must be related
1t was expected that this would be
the biggest trade day before the last
of next week and early indications
bore out the expectation, but the
rain undoubtedly kept many people
at home. Those who came out were
many, but the big rush was lacking
Large crowds thronged the stores
last night and the windows were love-
iy.
The biggest rush will come next
week, and to meet it merchants have
increased their sales forces. The III
tluenza condition has shown a mat
erial improvement and everv day Is
reported better in Hickory. The lcng
drcuth, followed by too much rain,
made conditions generally unfavorab,e
Cor shopping, and persons with severe
colds tried to remain indoors. TIE
good weather promised now is ex-
pected to bring out the crowds in
great numbers.
Persons who have thought we had
too much rain in this section were
not interested directly in hydro -ele.-
tric plants on the rivers and. smaller
streams in this section. Many mills
have been forced to shut down for
lack of power, the Southern Power
Company even cutting off its Gus
toners occasionally. The small l,ydr;.-
electric plants did we'll to operate
half-time for the past few weeks,
but reports today from several places
indicated that the lakes were filling

that the water shortage is over for

URUGUAY WOULD DIVIDE
LARGE PRIVATE ESTATES

Montevideo, Nov. 10.-With the OBJ
ject of forcing the Subdivision Of the
immense landed estates in Uruguay,
and at the same time to promote agri-
culture and stock breeding, the Minis
ter. of Industries, DR.. Luis Caviglia
has drafted bill to apply a special
sliding scale land tax upon all estates
Of more than 1000 hectares 5000
acres). The scale slides upward per
thousand hestares, but exemption Of
the half or the whole of the tax is
offered if the proprietors comply with
certain conditions to make the land
productive.
The measure is of special interest
to all the countries .of the River
Plate in which enormous landed
estates, largely idle and tenaciously
held by their wealthy proprietors, are
common, and thus far legislators have
not been successful in finding con-
stitutional methods of breaking them
up orf disposal to settlers and small
farmers and preventing their forma-
ton in the future
The conditions for exemption pro-
posed to agriculture, dairying or stock
breeding. They fix the stadards Of
the stock in the case of stock breed
ing, and specify what equipment shall
be necessary.
The bill will be considered by the
National Council of Administration
before being presented to congress.

VIENNA READY TO
CREMATE ITS DEAD

Vienna, Nov 26-On the spot where
tradition says, stood Suliman's tent
when his Turkish legions beselged W
emma in 1888, the first crematory in
the territory of the old empire is short
ly to be opened.
With the establishment of the re-
public the prohibition against crema-
ton disappeared, and the city now has
erected an exceedingly graceful little
building to be devoted to this method
of disposing of the dead. 1t stands IN
a part surrounded by an ancient, tow
cred and battlemented wall, on a NIL

wall once surrounded the grounds OF

PROTEST ELECTION
OF MR.. LODGE
Counsel for Defeated Liberal Republican Candi-
date in Massachusetts Files Petition With
v,;e-President-Say Lodge is '.Minority''
Winner and Claims Frauds in Election.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 16.-The proceed
lngs began in Massachusetts challeng-
ing the reelection to the senate Of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Republi-
can leader, today were brought to the
senate apparently to be pressed at the
convening of the new congress.
A protest and challenger against
the election Of Senator Lodge was re-
ceived by Vice-President Coolidge from
Conrad W. Croker, attorney for John
A. Nichols, defeated prohibition can
dldate, and also as the representative
of the liberal Republican league of
Massachusetts.
"Flagrant irregularities" in the No
vember Z senatorial elections were
charged in Mr.. Crooker's petition
which declared Senator Lodge was a
minority" winner and had been ere
pudiated." Mr.. Crooker asked an i'm
mediate hearing.
The papers are to be referred to the
senate privileges and elections COM
mlttee. 1t is not customary for the
committee of the senate to take ac-
ton on election contests until the con-
vening of the new congress which they
affect and senate leaders predicted to-
day that despite the request for imme-
mediate action, the proceedings will
not be heard until the next congress
meets.
Reports that Vice-President Cool
ldge might make a preliminary refer
ence of the petition to Senators Lodge
and Walsh led Mr.. Crooker to send
the viee-president another petition
against any such move He said the
propriety of referring the matter to
Senator Lodge was obvious
Mr.. Crooker's statement said that
the liberal Republican league repre-
sented more than 100000 Massachu-
setts Republicans. He added that his
protest against the validity of Mr..
Lodges reelection was justified by
abundant evidence and also by "the
overwhel Inning. determination of Massa-
chusetts public sentiment at the polls
in the recent election"
Massachusetts has repudiated
Lodge and all the reactionary senti-
ment that he represents the petition
asserted.
The total vote for senator was 867,-
LIT, it was declared, and Senator Lodge
received on the face of returns 414, ,13O,
and was thus minority candidate
1t was added that no two tabulations
Of the voate agreed.

Salisbury, N. c., Dec. 16-"If the
federal prohibition force in North Car
DINA we're doubled and state and coun.

is obtaining correct information as to
the location Of stills, boot-leggers and
liquor runners. With our men on the

capped in this respect.
AT present, we are centering our
operations in the western part Of the

Reports here from Washington of

enforcement in North Carolina leads

University of North Cardinals stamp
! ing ground here today when two pow
erful. undefeated football elevens-
Asheville from the West and New Bern
form the East-met to decide the state
high school championship.
A full week late, the game promised
to be one of the greatest that high
school football followers ever have
witnessed. Asheville, flushed with ex-
pectancy Of ultimate triumph, show
ed confidence in every move. New Bern,
equally as strong and no less sure of
victory, rolled its heavy-milling scor-
ing machine to the fray, huskies all.
red of cheek, powerful Of build and
fleet Of foot.
The western aggregation, we'll prin-
ed with plenty of practice, came on the
field with an enviahle seasons record
behind it. Asheville has met ten schools
since the first kickoff of the year.
Only three of these were in the cham
pionship matches. A total Of 1913 points
was piled up by the mountaineeds in
these games against 20 for their op-
ponents.
The team has met stiff fopposition all
through, but has won most of its games
by decisive scores. Asheville has play
ed. two tie games-one with Knox
vile, Tennessee champions, which re-
suited in 90 score, and one with
Bingham, which ended 6-6.
In the three state high school sham
pionship battles, Asheville rolled over
Salisbury II to 0, clawed Is points
out of Charlotte, while the latter went
scoreless, and won the right to repre-
sent the West in the finals by taking
Monroe's measure 20 to Z.
On the other side of the field, the
flashing New Bern outfit laid claim
to as many, or more, laurels. New
Bern came down the seasons grind
with total of 1873 points against 6
for her opponents. This lone was
scored by Washington, the only team
to cross New Bern's goal line. Those
that fell before this powerful eleven
included the choice teams of the East
tern section foremost among WINCH
were Washington, Kinston, Whining
ton, Rocky Mount and Sanford.
Every team that New Bern played
was championship contender. Rocky
Mount was the first to fall before the
New Bernians, q to Q. New Bern
scored "a points against Washington
O; 10 against Kinston; 80 against
Goldsboro, "a against Washington,
which scored 6 this time; 13 against
81 against Rocky Mount.
and against Sanford, the hardest
fought game of the season
New Bern swung into practice early
this week after six of her first string
men were relieved Of guard duty at the
fire area. These boys had been serv-
ing in the 1T Field Artillery battalion
