SON KILLS FATHER
DEFENDING MOTHER

Athens, Tenn, April 3O.-Dr. Gus
Shipley, so, member of the Tennessee
board of medical examiners and well
known local physician, was shot and
instantly killed here tonight by his
son, Jack Shipley, deputy sheriff.
According to the story of young
Shipley, his father was choking Mrs.
Shipley, who is an invalid, when the
son stepped up behind him and fired a
shot into his neck.
Mrs. Shipley made a statement de-
Tending her son, saying that he was
forced to shoot and pleading with of
ficers not to arrest him. Father and
son were seen on the streets today
and seemed to be on the best of terms
and no previous trouble is said to have
occurred between them.
Young Shipley surrendered imme-
diately after the shooting but was not
placed in Jail pending an investigation
by coroner's jury tomorrow.
DR.. Shipley was one of the foremost
physicians of the state and had for
some years been leader in Republi-
can political activities.

DR.. A. M. TraYwich
Addressed Meeting

The last county teachers meeting
for this year was held in the High
school auditorium last Saturday, April
%. DR.. Ellerbe presided in the alb
sence cf the president. In the begin
ming of the meeting DIR. Ellerbe at
tempted to account for the small num-
ber of teachers present from the fact
of the inclement weather.
The first number on the program
was an instrumental solo by Miss
Beryl Brawley. She was at her best
and drew forth applause from those
present in way that spoke appreci-
alton of her playing.
The next number was play car
ried nn in conversational French by
the 11th grade girls. Their French
pronunciations and the way in which
the class handled the play reflects
credit on both the class and the
teacher.
After this number DR.. A. M. Tray
wick, professor of Christian Educa-
ton at Wofford College was intro
duced. DR.. Traywick made very in
structive address stating "That q
teachers duty is to find the best there
is in the pupil and to help each child
in the development of the potential
possibilities" Throughout his ad-
dress DR.. Traywick showed that he
has had broad experience as teach
ar and is an apt student of physicol-
ogy. However, he handled his subject
matter in a clear ~cut, simple styl2
that enabled all the teachers present
to get broader conception of their
unfortunate that such a small number
of teachers heard this address.

BATTLING WITH
FLOOD WATERS

New Orleans, April 3O.-While
water flowing through the three
crevasses in the lower Mississippi
river continued to cover more lands
today, the fight to prevent other
breaks in the levees was carried or
without any let up. Thousands of
men spent their Sabbath filling and
piling sand bags to strengthen the
weak places and to raise low
stretches of the entertainments to
meet higher river stages than any
yet recorded.
In the third Mississippi levee dis
trict alone no less than 10000 men
were engaged in the fight to hold the
swollen river in it's channel, the 1000
employed by the government in this
district being reinforced by more
than 5000 civilians who have volun-
:eered their services for common pro-
lection of their homes. Church serv-
ices were dispensed with in many
places, the pastors leading their
locks to the levees where the day was
spent in hard labor to prevent fur
ther flooding.
Other hundreds spent the day in
searching the flooded areas for ma
rooned families and removing them
in small boats to places of safety.
Throughout the day the numbers be-
ing cared for in hastily provided
refugee camps, established by the
Red Cross or by private citizens,
we're augmented by the arrival of
other destitute and sometimes hun
cry refugees who had been marooned
in their flooded homes for several
days.
SO far as could be determined late
today there was no alleviation of the
serious situation growing out of the
depletion of ofod supplies at num-
ber of the refugee camps, especially
at Harrisonburg, La, where 1900
persons were reported yesterday to
be practically without food. Nothing
is known here of the progress of the
boat load of provisions dispatched
from New Orleans yesterday for the
Estyicken Black River district, where
1000 destitute refugees ars await
ng food while existing on restricted
diet.
Reports from Yazoo City, Miss, to-
day state that food is scarce in that
district, the supplies being practi-
cally exhausted and that conditions
were even worse in Issaquena county
where large area has been under
water for the last six weeks.
At oJnesville, La, where several
hundred destitute refugees from the
Black, Little, Tensas and Ouachita
river districts ale being cared for.
back waters have completely flooded
the town. While the refugee camp
there is located on higher ground
than the town itself, it is expected
that even the camp site will be inun-

where she has been engaged for two
years in searching for tati germ.

cal discoveries Of the century" saie
DR.. Davenport today. s;"Dr. Kritcf
has succeeded in isolating the typhus
coccus which is biscuit shaped and il
appearance much like the, tpneumonis
germ or pneumococcus. The germ
was found in the brain tissue Of II
out of IL patients who had died Of
typhus. The organism was theI
grown in the tissues of the human
spleen from which laterSsa culture
was taken and injected into guine:
pigs, producing typhus synptoms.

rum has been developed but this ma
come later. Other physicians in Eu
rope and America have claimed par
tial success in the production of lynn
phus vaccine, but DR.. Kritch is the
first to grow and reproduce typhus
'cocci outside the human body"
The hospital where the discovery
was made has been supplied with
equipment by the Americans.
1t has long been known that a par
ticular form of louise carries this type
of germ but, according to DR.. Daven'
port, the identity OF the germs neve,

the administration had $4,000 while
some $240,000 passed through their
hands. The four years preceding the
sum of about $4,000 passed through
the hands of the city authorities. In
the present administration we find
ourselves $105,0O0 in debt and there
is yet two more months, and that will
run the Indebtedness to $4,000. The
statement has been made that the
charge was made that money
had been stolen. This is absolutely
false. | said the money had been
wastefully expended. The licenses
here aggregated some $4,000. That
is the same as increasing the levy.
The money spent has been spent
wastefully. There have been too many
bosses and too few laborers. Since

The Republican National leaders
may conclude that the strikes have
got to end, and they may be III
position to bring no little pressure
upon the executives who are fol-
lowing Loree in his no surrender
policy. In that case the country
may be treated thereafter to fine
play upon words, which will spell
surrender in the end, with most if
not all the new men finding them
selves out of luck.
But in harboring this hope we
are reminded again that it is well
night impossible to arrive at an
agreement whereunder it will be
found possible to conserve the in
terests Of al concerned. Sooner
or later some men, perhaps thous-
ands Of them, are going to feel
that they have been treated badly.
