The United States temporarily is in the bad graces of Russia: first on account of the rapid pro gress made by the repeal of the embargo and second because of alleged meddling by the Presi- dent in the Finnish situation.
 The Soviet Union declared it. self ready to sell to anyone who would buy. Naturally the en- trance of trade competitor was not welcome. It is said that the relations between the United States and Cuba are not essen- tially different from those of Rus sia and Finland. If ever a war was prosecuted for purely altru- istic reasons, it was the Spanish American conflict, carried on by the United States in order that another and a smaller nation might be free. Russia has some task on her hands when she at tenlpts to convince the world tba- her aim is to make a self governed Cuba cut of Finland.

By Friends of MIR.
Scott; Next Move of
School Board not Re-
vealed as Yet.

Efforts Of the Vance County Board
of Education to open the Dabney high
school -,day for its fall term were
frustrated when a group of citizens
opposed to M. H. Randolph as prln-
cipal gathered at the school and re-
fused to allow him to enter the
building.
After announcing Monday that the
school would open today, Prof. Ran
dolph and j. L. Claiborne, repair
superintendent for the CO AND
county schools, were sent to the
building by the county superinten-
dent at the regular opening time tC
proceed with the launching Of the
fall term. They were met by a group
of men, supporters OF B. A. Scott
principal for the last eleven years.
and who has been denied further
service by the board, and ordered
not to enter.
One member of the Dabney school
committee was reported to have told
him the course to pursue, but that
there would be trouble if efforts were
made to unlock the doors.
The next move by the county board
was not divulged today, but Super
intendent E. M. Rollins said fur
ther effort would be made to open
the school tomorrow morning
Following a meeting of supporters
of Mr.. Scott, held in the court room
of the Municipal Building here last
night attorneys representing them
were reported to have sought from
Judge c. E. Thompson in Warren
today an injunction forbidding coun-
ty school authorities from operating
the school today. The result Of that
effort was not learned early this aft
ernOOn.
1t was said some 100 school chill
dren were on hand to begin thei1
class room work, many Of them ac-
companied by parents. One report
was that the children told Mr.. Ran
dOlph they were glad to see him and
were ready to begin their studies.

Damages for Water
City Is Using.

A new proposal for lighting the
white way section of the city was
presented to the City Council Mon
day night at its regular monthly
meeting for September, and was
accepted by the aldermen. The con-
tract was presented by W. M.
Bailey, manager of the Carolina
Power & Light Company here, and
offered the city a considerable m
crease in the amount OF current Tor
no increase in price.
The result will be the placing OF
larger bulbs in the street lights IN
the white way district, and a COM
mittee of the Council consisting of
Aldermen Hicks, Crabtree and
Hight was named to collaborate
with the power company authorities
in locating the new lights.
Another move by the Council
was to abolish entirely all parking
reservations everywhere in the city
with the exception of unloading
zones. This leaves all taXicab con-
Germs on an equal footing with any
other motorists. The move by the
Council originating with the mem
bers after numerous complaints had
been made to them, it was stated.
A letter was received by the
Council from r. H. Pernell, owner
OF the Rock Mill, several miles east
OF the city. in which he protested
the city using water at the pumping
station that he was entitled to. His
mill is located on the stream that
carries away overflow from the
city's lakes. Mr.. Pernell said the
city was using water that belonged
to him. and that it was worth 81
500. If it was worth $4,000 to the
city. he wrote he would like for
the city to make immediate settle
ment to him for it. He also stated
that he withdrew all offers he may
have made to the city to sell his
property to the city.
On recommendation of Aldermen
B. H. Hicks and NJ. w. Wester, the
Council granted NJ E. Howard
licenses for two new taxicabs.
A taxicab liability insurance
policy offered by Mr.. Howard was
received and ordered filed.

that is the slogan they are now liv-

no doubt say to yourselves, Prom

of basketball we have another sport
creeping into the picture. This time
it is archery. Mr.. Fabricius, to
whom credit can be given for arous-
ing interest in the bow and arrow
sport, has obtained a book on arch
cry, also he has a catalog on arch
