Perhaps there is no logical
connection between South Car
olina's failure to punish the
Aiken lynchers and it's eagerness
to enfnrce the -Sahhath=nhserX=
ance laws, but it is no wonder
that newspaper writer's are
struck by the contrast, The
Baltimore Evening Sun observes
that it is all right to lynch a
negro in South Carolina provid-
ed it is done on a weekday; and
the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer
San has an editorial entitled
Safer to Lynch than to Break
a. Blue Law in South Carolina.
Abandoning the effort to en-
force modern laws against
lynching," says the Columbus
journal, Governor Richards has
thrown around his states dis
grace a smoke screen of blue
laws. State and county officers
are released from the duty of
protecting lives and property
for the twenty-four hours which
they devote to haling golfers in
te tee eeeHasE eeeaEt t, closing soft=drink
stands, and guarding filling sta
tions against the chance that one
of them might sell a gallon of
gasoline. Mobs may lynch or
fog, but law-abiding citizens
may not.sell a cigar to a smoke
less individual. The Aiken mob
is free and Aiken is forgotten,
while the newspapers of the
state busy themselves reporting
the governors latest Sabbath in
junction. Officers of the law are
scurrying about on the trail of
folks who are trying to use the
only day of liberty they have
in wringing a little harmless
pleasure out of an all too drab
existence. Men may murder in
South Garolina-hut may not
play golf on Sunday"
In truth G0yar lcr Richards,
in this present campaign, is
making d ridiculous spectacle Of
himself. The law he is seeking
to enforce is said to date from
the 18th century. Certainly it
reflects a state of mind which
was long ago abandoned by sem
-sible people. No state, South
Carolina or any other, IL going
to stand for rot like this. The
governor might -Aa well try to
turn the tides Of the sea back
as to try to revive ideas and hab-

returns to the University after
a long absence is almost always
tinged with melancholy because
of the disappearance of the peo-
pie and the buildings he knew
in his youth. Robert Burwell
of New Orleans, who had not
been here since 1888 until he
came last week, was saddened
not to find the old twin buckets
and the creaky chain which were
used in his day for hosting
water from the college well. The
Old East and Old West build
ings awakened pleasant men,
cries, but the transformed South
was to him cold and strange. He
went down to the street hoping
to see the ancient MacRae store
and instead found modern
brick structure with citified
plate-glass windows. Turning
his back upon it he looked up
across the campus, where the
trees and grass were as he had
left them, and this view brought
a happy smile. He was willing
to admire all the fine new build
ings; but there was little left
for him to love. Mr.. Burwell
motored up from Raleigh with
his three sisters, Mrs. B. r.
Lacy, Mrs. C. C. McAlister, and
Mrs. C. B. Miller, and his nieces,
Miss Frances Lacy and Mrs.
Julian Lane. Mrs. Allie Worth
of Durham was along with
them. Before they started back
Mr.. Burwell visited Francis P.
Venable, one of the very few
men he still knows in Chapel
Hill.
The ability to repair and adj
just machinery is to me the most
incomprehensible of human
gifts. None of the eminent men

was impossible. The r. F. D.
mail carriers stayed at home.
The storm delivered a fright
full wallop to the University
routine. To plow even two or
three hundred yards through the
drifts was. a difficult job, and
some of the professors who
dwell out in the suburbs were
unable to get in to their early
classes. Many of the women
typists and clerical workers
were baked completely when
they started to leave their hous-
es, and had to turn back.
There was no school. Around
breakfast time the teachers re-
ceived telephone messages from
Superintendent Sides that they
need not report for duty.
Toward the middle of the day
Town Manager Knox got a trac-
tor and snow plow to moving
through the main thoroughfares.
Whereupon pedestrians eagerly
took to the middle of the street.
They had it ali 20 themselves
since automobiles were out of
business.
The telephone service did not
yield to the storm an instant.
Miss Gooch and the other oper-
ators functioned steadily as usu-
al. Fortunately the snow was
not accompanied by very cold
weather, and so there was no
trouble with the water pipes.
The electric lights shone on.

ing the sun came out, and 1t
looked as if a thaw had set in.
Incidents of the Storm
Captain F. c. Smith, veteran
conductor of the train running
over to the junction, fell down
three times in drifts between
his home and the Carrboro sta
ton. His train did not get off
in the morning until after ii
o'clock because snow had to be
shoveled off the switch. But
when night came it had made its
customary two trips.
Ernest Edwards, the mail
hauling contractor, did not al
low the storm to thwart him
completely. Not being able to
use his truck, he assembled q
force of negro helpers and they
toted the first class matter a
mile and a half to the Chapel
Hill post-office. The bags with
newspapers and packages had
to be locked in the baggage car
over night. Yesterday morning
a road had been opened and the
truck was running.
Felicia, the Oscar Coffins' cat,
conforming to the modern GUS
tom of not having children in
ones own home, had kittens in
the basement of the neighbors,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert B. House,
in the midst of the storm.

LIVINGSTONE ACADEMY
INDORSES SERVICE PLAN
Advice and Assistance of Trained
Professionals Advanced as
School Feature.

The word service in most channels
means advantages additional to those
actually paid for and has become a
fetish in presentday advertising. In
school language it has come to mean
advice and assistance of an organiza-
ton of trained professionals. such as
is maintained by the Livingstone
Academy, 1t is declared by officials at
the schools.
1t means constant study of each
student in small groups; it means con-
tinued research into new fields; 1t
means a basis of integrity and firm
purpose and proven ability to direct
expertly the future of each student.
Livingstone Academy is an old special
technical school of recognized stand
ing. having as its chief aims the
preparation of men and women to
earn money in the shortest possible
time consistent with thoroughness.
Very few art schools, universities
or colleges teach the commercial arts,
interior decoration, costume design
ing, etc. The subjects are too tcch-
nical for any but successful practic
ing highly paid specialists TO teach
The instructors at Livingstone Acad
eny belong in this classification.
Personal, individual instruction in
small groups plays an important part
in the methods employed, each stu
dent being carefully drilled in the par
ticular branch of art that he wishes
to pursue The results obtained have
proven most satisfactory and the
large enrolment of new students for
the Spring semester clearly indicates
the appreciation of the public for the
exceptional service rendered.

President Coolidge
Deeply Concerned In
Geneva Conference

RAPID CITY, S. D., July 80 P)--
Deeply concerned that the Geneva
armament conference seems destined
to fail in its purpose of effecting
further reduction of naval armament,
President Coolidge awaited every de-
tail from Washington and Europe
at the summer white house tonight
with an interest that excluded v1rtu-
ally all other matters.
Although there was no Official an
nouncement, Mr. Coolidge was rep
resented Us hoping that nothing
would occur to disturb the friendly
relations of the countries participat-
ing should the Monday meeting of
the tripartite conferees prove to be
an adjournment without having
reached an agreement.
1t was pointed out in Rapid City
that the president has followed the
attention ohan was generally sup
posed, it having been his studied
effort to detract the eyes of the
world from himself and thus give the
Geneva delegates full liberty without
any public statements from the
president which might have been
misconstrued abroad
The fact that in Mr.. Coolidge's
opinion the proposals of Great Brit
ain call for q larger navy than he
will sanction appears here in view
of Great Britain's apparent deter
nlination to prove an insurmountable
barrier to any negotiations which
might result in treaty, but the
presidents intention to adhere to
the purpose for which he called the
nference-further reduction of
naval armament-is hoped to give
no grounds for any international re-
action except that an honest diff
ference of poinion existed between
the nations concerned.
Whether Mr.. Coolidge has instruct
ed Ambassador Hugh H. Gibson, head
Of the American delegation at Gen
eva, as to the nature of any state
ment he might make Monday, was
not known. 1t was said, however,
that at this juncture it semed ex-
tremely unlikely Mr.. Gibson would
speak unless his words had first
received the approval of Mr. Cool
idge That any address at all was
contemplated was declared not to
have been determined, but it ap-
peared assured that if any remarks
should be made, they would be in
most careful effort toward con-
citation and good will.
The president was understood to
have instructed the American dele
gates some time ago not to recede
from The general position which the
Washington government first laid
down.
This position was based upon the
proposition that naval armament
should be further restricted and any

WASHINGTON, July 80 (E9 -
From the shell tortured earth about
Mount FaucOn, where nine years
ago American and German lines
were locked in the grim struggle
of the Meuse- ArgOnne drive, the
bodies of seven young Americans
of the 18th division who gave
their lives for the flag in that
fight have been yielded up at last
to end the long suspense of griev-
ing relatives.
Late in June, rewarding search
that had lasted almost a decade,
field workers of the grave regis
tratiOn service in Paris came upon
filled-in shell hole where the
bodies lay. They were ranged in
their common grave, in an orderly
row, laid there almost beyond
doubt, not by comrades, but by
enemy hands.
In the group were numbered the
casualties of platoon of company
F, 315th infantry, including Lieu
tenant William A. Sheehan, of this

ed on the morning of September

sistance organized in the woods

LEGISLATURE
GIVES No SIGN
Of SURRENDER
Compromise Talk is Limit
ed Almost Entirely to
Administration.
DEADLOCK SEEN
Governors Letter That He
Would Accept Commits
ion Draws Nothing.

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 80 R-Solu-
ton to Arizonas highway muddle
remained indefinite tonight as re-
ports from Prescott indicated that
the majority members were going
ahead with highways code measure,
regardless OF the ultimatum issued by
Governor Hunt that he would veto
a creditors relief bill that carried
rider which would provide payment
of the states debts through COM
mission.
Uncertainty was increased when
majority members stated that they
had not been approached on the
subject of compromise since last
Wednesday when they flatly refused
to concede to a minority plan at
conference between administra-
ton and majority representatives
from the house of representatives.
Further possibilities of failure
loomed when minority members OF
the legislature, who have remained
in Phoenix while joint senate
house committee of majority s0lons
assembled in Prescott to perfect
highway bill, said they knew of no
definite compromise.
These developments, supported by
the announcement by Senator Fred
Sutter, of Cochise, that the majority
would mot surrender to a political
and a letter from Governor
Hunt to Thomas Norris OF the Ariz-
ona Good Roads association, indi-
Gates that compromise talk" is al
most entirely limited to adrninistra-
tive circles.
Without exception minority sem
ators in Phoenix today declared they
had not been appraised of definite
move to arrive at some amicable
settlement of the highway contro-
versy, which has been at fever pitch
since the first special session of the
eighth state legislature convened on
January 3.
Two special sessions and the reg.
ular session failed to accomplish
anything in the way of compre-
hensive highway program or payment
of creditors of the highway depart
ment Rather the deadlock between
the administration has apparently
become stronger unless Governor
Hunts letter to Norris in which he
listed the names OF 46 men who
would make competent commission
ers" in the event commission was
is an indication that Mr.,
Hunt is ready to meet the legislature.
Statements made to the press by
the governor discredit reports that
he will agree to any commission
other than one OF his own picking.
He has declared himself opposed to
a commission on the gronds that "iu
is unbusinesslike and uneconomical"
lie further has stated that he will
not surrender "the executive power
of the state of Arizona to the legis-
lature or any other force"
