of Portsmouth. in which he was
fined 800 and sentenced to serve
80 days in prison for involuntary

the death of his friend. Bonnie
Burnie, who was killed as a result

today.
Goodman was accompanied by
Burnie and three other persons
when the car and a truck coilided,
according to the petition. 1t was

rod which killed Burnie could not
have been expected to protrude
from the left side of the truck.
The defendant declared he was

Robert e. Lee are Urgent needs OF

Louis Smith told 1A3 members OF
the graduating class at the l79th
commencement of Washington ana

he accepted the trustees invitation

ing progressiveness and far-yisioned
response to the call of new age
DIR. Smith urged for solving the
problems of a South and a nation
sorely in need of active and effecr
tive leadership inspired by Lee pro.
gressiveness and consecrated by
Lee idealism.
President Smith charged the class
of .'29 to follow the Lee ideal by
adding to the graces of Southern
chivaIry the sterner and diviner
assets of spotless purity and moral
self.control."
The only flag of Lees unchang-
ing loyalty, said DR.. Smith, was the
banner of the cross and not the
Stars and Stripes nor the Stars and
Bars
Progressiveness, in DR.. Smiths
belief was the most amazing Of
all of General Lees attributes.

WHITE HEADS
TARIFF MOVE
Valley Non-Partisan Body
For Protection Of Pro-
duce Is Sought

SAN BENITO, March 14.-Grow-
erS and shippers Of vegetables,
fruits and other products of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will be
organized into a strong non-parti-
san association for the purpose of
securing and defending adequate
protective tariff schedules on all
Valley products, according to Brown
White Of San Benito, one of the
largest growers and shippers in this
section. The organization will be
known as the Lower Rio Grande
Valley Tariff association.
According to White the new or
ganiZation will continue its con-
facts with national farm organiza-
tionS and the Southern Tariff as
ISOLATION which have co-operated in
the past in the preparation of
briefs and the compilation Of data
supporting the contention of Valley
growers for protective tariff Sched-
ules on their products.
I'VE are working closely with our
duly elected representatives in con-
greSS and we will continue this most
important relation" White said.
Growers of the Valley know that
the party in power at w shington
has a majority Of more tnan one
hundred in the house and seventeen
in the senate, and if SO inclined
could enact a strictly partisan tariff
measure. However, it is the opinion
Of many Valley growers that our
interests could best be served
through a non-partisan tariff meas
ure and we hope that the tariff bill
carrying protective duties on our
products will become a law with
votes substantially representative of
both political parties"
Continuing White said, "for the
first time in the history Of present
political parties the platforms Of
both agree on protection and an
endorsement of this agreement by
a vote Of congress would go a long
ways toward making permanent a
national tariff policy under which
the producers of the Valley could
prosper"
Whites selection as chairman of
the Rio Grande Valley organization
committee was made at a recent
conference Of producers in Wash
lngton representing eighteen states
and a Valley committee will be an
nounced within a few days.

CAMP PLEASES
DR.. |. PAMMEL
Boy Scout Site On Arroyo
Colorado Said Located
In Ideal Spot

A letter of praise and suggestions
for Camp Ferry, has been received
by Valley Scout Executive Tom
Murray from DR.. L. H. Pammel,
noted botanist and head OF that de-
partment at Iowa State college. The
letter followed a trip over the Scout
camp near Rio Hondo by the bot
anist.
The Letter follows:
II was glad to have had the priv
ilege of looking over the Valleys
Boy Scout camp. 1t is ideally To-
Gated only a few miles from Rio
Hondo, Harlingen, San Benito and
Brownsville. easily accessible to the
whole Valley, and fronting a Won
derful body Of water, the Arroyo
Colorado, providing swimming ia
c~ilities, boating and other water
sports. You have a fine clearing
where you can have the usual
games.
"You suggested planting some
exotic plants. I hope you can do
this. You can arrange a fine ar
boretum on the shore Of the Arroyo.
In this arboretum the exotic plants
can be cultivated. ! would suggest
arranging them in family groups.
Get as many plant types as you can
and see that these plants have
names attached to them, where they
are native, and the economic use.
It would also have an Indian gar
den where you al cultivate or
plant all the plants used by the
North American Indian. I would
also like to suggest a Mexican gar
den, where the plants used by the
Mexican can be cultivated. Again,
all plants should be named.
IT hope you can leave a part OF
the tract in its native condition.
Make trails through it and name the
plants. This will be Of special in
terest to the visitors.
II hope you may add some 40 or
so acres more to the original tract.
the gift of Chas. F. Perry. The ma
ture lovers should be thankful for
the generosity of Mr. Perry.
IT want to congratulate you on
the splendid work you r doing,
This Boy Scout work is invaluable
for the development of the future
citizens of this country"
Yours truly, L. H. Pammel.

9DEAD;

@P-Nine persons are dead, two
are thought to be dying, and five
or ten others are injured, the vic
Tins Of a tornado which bored
swiftly last night into Six Mile
community, a small settlement q
miles from here.
Although the commuMity has a
population of only 200, the tornado
was confined to such a narrow zone
and came and went so suddenly
that nearby residents took the roar
for thunder, and were not aware
OF its true nature until they heard
the cries of the injured and dying.
-Four homes, a cotton gin, a
church and a building of Six Mile
academy, a Baptist preparatory
school, were in the zone of destruc-
ton. Medical aid was rushed to
the community from Pickens and
Liberty, nearby, to care for the in
jured.
All Of the deaths reported here
were caused by the collapse Of two
OF the four homes which were
struck. They included G. Nelse
Garrett, a deputy sheriff, his wife
and three children, and Mrs. Till
man Garrett and three daughters.
An infant of the Tillman Garrett
family was blown 600 yards by the
wind. but as not seriously injured.
