Law Enacted in Richmond Is Better
than North Carolina's

The people of Virginia will
vote Tuesday, October 3, on the
question of the repeal of the
18th Amendment.
The law enacted by the leg
islature this week, with the
backing Of the Governor, pro-
vides for a solid block of 80 dele
gates at large to meet in con-
vention October 25.
This is much better law
than the one in North Carolina
calling for vote on repeal No
'vember 7. In this state the cleo
tion of delegates will be by
counties, on the same basis as
the election of members of the
lower house in the General AS
sembly. In Virginia a majority
vote will settle the question. In
North Carolina it is possible for
a majority Of the people tc
vote for repeal and yet for re-
peal to be defeated. There will
be 118 delegates chosen, and the
vote in the convention deter.
mines North Cardinals stand or
repeal; 60 delegates will consti.
tute majority, and there may
be 60 anti-repeal delegates sent
to the convention with a smaller
popular vote than the popular
vote received by SO prO-repeal
delegates,

The school board here is in
state of suspended animation

While it waits for the State
School Commission to make
known the amount of the states

Until this is known, the board
cannot decide what supplement-

are delayed in fixing the tax
rate, because the school rate is
to be included in the total rate.
Superintendent J. Minor
Gwynn left yesterday on his
years leave of absence, and no.
body has yet been chosen to take
his place while he is gone.
Mr.. Gwynn, Auditor Roger

what the states allotment will
be. 1t appears now that they
will have to wait a while longer.

INSANITY PLEA IS

2LAWYERS GIVE SERVICES

The trial of Clay Blackwell,
who killed John Creel on the
night Of July II, is now in prog

Hillsboro. The state is asking a
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree.
There is considerable sym
pathy for Blackwell in Chapel
Hill, for many Of the people
here believe he was insane when
he shot Creel. And it is only by
a plea Of insanity that his law
yers hope to be able to free
him from a sentence to death
or long imprisonment.
For weeks before the tragedy
the shoemaker brOOded over the
injuries he had received at the
hands Of Creel. He had left the
Creel home, and his wife refus-
ed to come with him and stayed
on as Creel's housekeeper. This
preyed on his mind, and, depart
ing from his lifelong habit of So
briefly, he began to drink and
take dope.

psychiatrist until recently con-
nectcd with the Duke medical
school, has been summoned to
testify as to Blackwelps mental
condition. He was i'll and could
not attend the trial when it be-
gan day before yesterday. The
defense hoped that he could ap-
pear yesterday; or he may ap-
pear today.

Part Of the Strowd Farm

Paul Green has arranged to
buy a tract of land, containing
about 200 acres, east Of the viii
lage. 1t embraces the part of
the former Strowd farm known
as the old IIargrave place and
also the adjoining N. w. Walker
property which stretches south

The place selected by Mr..
Green for the house he intends
to put up within a year or so
is on the crest of a hill near a
grove Of fine clms. It is here
that the home Of the Hargrave
family is supposed to have stood
before the Civil War. Tree sur

Chapel Hill Chaf

What is news? The question
has often been discussed by
newspaper men and in schools
of journalism, and many ex-
perts have essayed to frame a
satisfactory answer. Journal
ism textbooks present various
definitions. One is: News is
the report of whatever acts or
events affect the general vel
fare or are SO characteristic of
life Though extraordinary as
to represent the possible expert
ences of all. The most famous
pronOuncement on the subject
is attributed to the late Charles
A. Dana: When a dog bites a
man, that is not news, but when
a man bites a dog that is news. y
Our reporter, happening to
meet Mrs. T. J. Wilson, Jr., the
other day, inquired of her
What do you know in the way
Of news?' The inquiry was not
inspired by the hope of hearing
about a murder, an automobile
wreck, kidnapping, an elope-
ment, or any such sensational
event; the reporter merely had
the idea that Mrs. Wilson, who
circulates actively and meets a
lot of people in the course of

Grahams in Storm
Olsen Tells Of Ocean Coming up un-
der the McClamrOchs' Cottage

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Graham
were in the big storm at Nag's
Head, Chapel Hill had got no
news Of them when this paper
went to press yesterday, since
the gale had torn down tele-
graph and telephone wires, but
probably the daily papers this
morning will give information
about them and the other people
at the resort.
A coast guardsman coming to
Elizabeth City reported that
Nag's Head had been completely
isolated. He said that when he
had driven to Kitty Hawk the
water was nearly a foot deep in
his automobile, and that he had
gone on from Kitty Hawk to
Nag's Head by horse and cart.
Heavy damage was done to the
state highway that runs along
the island sandbar.
The Norfolk territory received
the full force Of the tropical hur-
ricane, and friends Of the Deys,
who left here last week, feared
that they might be among the
marOOned at one Of the beaches.
But Mrs. Balm said yesterday
that they had gone to Maryland
and were to proceed thence to
Chicago.
William A. Olsen, who, with
Mrs. Olsen, returned Tuesday
from visit to the McClamrochs
at Tar Landing, said that when
he left Tuesday the sea had come
up the beach beneath McClam-
roch cottage.
"The people along that part
Of the coast said the tides were
the heaviest they had ever
known" said Mr.. Olsen yester'
day. "We got a warning Mon
day, the day l left. Even then
the water was about two feet
deep under the cottage, and it
was four inches deep in the en-
CINE room containing the cleo
trio light plant"

Teachers in Distress

Edgar w. Knight, who has
returned from his summer
teaching at Columbia Univer-
sity in New York, says that
while he was there he heard a
great deal about the distress of
teachers throughout the coun-
try.
"In my classes there were
teachers from 38 states Mr..
K Knight SAID yesterday, and so
| could get pretty good idea
of the national situation with
respect to the schools. Every
day | was hearing of school ac-
tivities curtailed or abandoned,
salaries reduced, and, worst of
all, dismissalS.
Il had in my classes teachers
who had made great sacrifices to
come to Columbia to pursue
their studies. There were some
who allowed themselves only so
cents a day for food. Some told
me of renting the cheapest
rooms they could find and of
cooking their own food Just
before | left one teacher, an in
telligent, Woodworking woman,
told me Of having just received
a letter from her superlntend-
lent saying that she had been dis
missed"
The Federal emergency relief
administration says that 33
states have reported $4,000 un-
employed teachers and Is states
have reported shortened school
terms.

The relief authorities are
moving, according to the dis
patches from Washington, to
give assistance to rural schools
and to help solve the problem of
the unemployed teacher. Harry
l.. Hopkins, national admins
traitor, says that needy teachers
receiving aid through state re-
lief administrations may be as
sig1rea sig1reta to to regular reg classroom duty
in rural schools closed or cur
tailed through lack of local
funds. Similar relief wifi be
extended to cities, except that
teachers there who draw upon
relief funds will give instruc-
tons to adults who cannot read
and write English.
Mr.. Hopkins says:
While it is not the intention
of the emergency relief admin
istration to subsidiZe the school
system in any community, or to
relieve school officials of their
responsibility, | believe that the
expenditure Of work relief funds
in the interest of destitute teach
ers will result indirectly in great
community benefit.
In many rural communities
the complete closing of schools
virtually means the disintegra
ton of community life for chill
dren. No one will ever be able
to make up the loss to the chill
dren who are deprived of edu-
cation"

OnCeQ states.
The key to his policy is simple.
He believes that the United States
can get quicker results by action at
home than by waiting for fifty ma
tons to reconcile conflicting views.
At home America IS in complete
control of its own situation. To
depend upon international agree
ments for results would be depend
ing upon a situation over which the
United States had little control, the
administration believes.
Thinks in Terms of Home
This policy has been made emphat-
tically clear in President Roosevelt's
latest message to the American dele
CATION at London. It is a complete
reversal of the Hoover policy.
The previous administration held
that the United States was depend
ent upon world recovery for its own
prosperity. Mainly it attempted to
keep banks, railroads and other in
stitutions afloat by loans until world
conditions righted themselves.
President Roosevelt is thinking in
terms of Kansas wheat fields, south
ern cotton fields, New England tex
tile mills, Pennsylvania coal mines,
the Tennessee river valley.
He believes if farmers can get
good prices, If labor can get living
wages, if industry can get reasonable
prices. the country will prosper.
Foreign trade, regarded by the
Hoover administration as a general
commercial outlet which would spell
prosperity, is seen by President
Roosevelt as a group of special mar
ketS for certain commodities such
as cotton, in which there are sur
pluseS.
Mind Is Made Up
There is little hope here that
other nations will abandon their
economic nationalism which is ex-
pressed through high tariffs, embar-
goes and import quotas.
Some of the Presidents closest
advisers hold that foreign trade is
a result of prosperity, rather than
the other way around. They argue
that once nations get on their feet
internally by balancinb budgets and
raising price levels, certain
amount Of international trade comes
automatically.
The argument as to whether this
is sound may rage indefinitely. but
President Roosevelt has made up his
mind, and he is proceeding in his
own way.
