LIQUOR REFERENDUM
AVOIDED BY UNION
Typographical Organization Also
Avoids Vote on Proposed

-
CHARLESTON. S. c. September IA
The International Typographical
Union, holding its annual convention
Ia this city. refused yesterday to go on
record as favoring Nations-wide ref
erendum provided for and regulated
BY Congress to ascertain what the SEN
tinnent of the country is regarding the
repeal or modification of the Volstead
act A motion calling for such refer
endum was voted down almost unani-
ii1ously.
The union at yesterdays session Sc
iected Seattle, Wash, as the next con-
vention city and disposed of several
important matters. In the race for
the 1929 convention Seattle won out
over Milwaukee, Wis, and Kansas
City, Mo-
A determined effort was made on the
convention floor to have the union
commit itself to support the organization
Of an American labor party whenever a
majority of the unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor favor
such step. but the proposal was de-
feated. Organization of the party on
the coalition plan similar to the British
labor party was suggested.
President Charles P. Howard took the
floor In opposition to the measure. He
declared that American workers are
new on q higher plane than those of
any other country, and that 1t would
be foolish to adopt in any respect a
political attitude for organized labor.

Old Pillars Blown Down
Brick Columns Put up. Century Ago
Fall before Wind

The two old brick pillars in
the rear yard of the Presidents
House, put up by Joseph Cald-
well, first President of the Uni.
versity, more than a century
ago, were blown down by the
wind last week.
The purpose of the erection
of these pillars, which were
about 10 feet high and 2 feet
square, was to mark exactly the
points of the compass. President
Caldwell had a scientist in the
University faculty establish the
directions with magnetic instru-
ments, and then the two pillars
were placed on a north-and-
south line.
Trees grew up around them,
and their foundations were
disturbed by the roots. AS the
years passed they departed more
and more from the perpendicu-
lar, and at last gave way before
the buffeting of the wind.

PIPING FINISHED:
PARK RECLAIMED
Disposal Plant That Has Dis
figured Woodland Will Be
Demolished
,GIMGHOUL COLONY SERVED

Battles Park has been re-
claimed. The new pipe line,
connecting with the municipal
disposal plant in Strowd's Low
grounds, was completed this
week, and the plant in the park,
now no longer needed, will be
demolished.
The improvement includes the
abandonment of the inadequate
tank hitherto used by the Clan
don Forest (GimghouD colony.
The outflow from there passes
through branch pipe line that
runs down the hill to a junction
with the main line in the brook
valley.
The final solution of this
troublesome problem came about
through a tripartite agreement
among the town, the University,
and the order of GimghOuls,
The cost of constructing the
lines was divided among these
three, in proportions agreed up
on at a conference two or three
months ago.
People who recall how intimate
ly Battles Park was connected
with the life of the community
are hoping that steps will be
taken to open the trails and re-
store the little bridges and the
rustic seats to which the late
Kemp P. Battle used to devote
such loving care. The trees, the
wild-flowers, the winding brook
the rocks-all these are still
there, as beautiful as ever, and
they make this woodland, so Sc
cluded and yet so close by, a
priceless possession for the Uni
versity and the village.

TO IMPROVE ROAD
EAST OF CAMPUS
Concrete Curbs and Cutters
viii Be Built; Width viii
Be SO Feet e
JOB TO BE DONE BY FALL

The town government and
the University have decided to
widen the Country Club road
and to border it with concrete
curbs and cutters. This is the
road which, starting at the east
campus gate, sweeps around to
the south, skirts the west edge
of Battles Park, and meets the
old Raleigh road at the entrance
to the Gimghoul colony.
At present it is narrow and
badly drained, so that in bad
weather its surface is plowed
into ruts and it becomes very
difficult of passage. The town
engineers and w. C. Coker,
chairman of the faculty grounds
committee, after careful sur
veys, have decided to make it SO
feet wide, from curb to curb.
For several days the laying of
curbs and cutters has been in
progress on Mr.. Coker's road,
leading out to Buttons where
the Howes have built their new
home. AS soon as he has done
with that job the contractor will
move his force to the Country
Club road, and the whole stretch
from the campus to Buttons
should be completed before the
end of summer.
1t is probable that the clubs
board of governors will similar
ly improve the road up to the
clubhouse. If this is done, then
the farthest end of the Gin
ghoul colony, the clubhouse, and
Buttons will each be connected
with the campus and the village
by a smooth and well-drained
surface.
