Idea Of Codes 300Years Old According To Journal Historical Commission Proves That Present N.R.A. Has As Triputal Long Ago That the N. R. A. codes were antici- i patcd more than 200 years in South ( Carolina is shown by a journal of the legislature edited and printed late last year by A. S. Salley, of the state his- s torical commission. 1 The information contained in the i journal of the body for the year I70:i, ( consists of (wo resolutions regulating the manner of production of certain goods, and the price to be charged for them. The effect of the two acts was not unlike that of the codes of fair < competition in force today, although , the causes were entirely different. The record shows that it was brought to the attention of the body C that because the tanners of hides to be used in making shoes were turning i out an inferior product, the shoemak- a ers were for a long time unable to put t out good shoes. However, they finally banded together to combat the evil, J insisting upon correctly tanned hides. Then, having the strength which comes from union, the shoemakers also agreed among themselves what they would charge for the finished shoes. 1 Without debate the lawmakers put ^ through a double-barreled act. It first ' provided that the tanners should turn out leather that was correctly tanned. * '1 hen, and here is where Roosevelt's brain child comes in, the act gave the lawmaking body the power to fix the prices of shoes. The other regulatory act prohibited the banding together of carpenters and fitters, or cabinet-makers. One of the members picked up a handbill on the street of Charleston exhorting the woodworkers to band together and giving plans for the organization. As soon as the solons heard about it, they passed an act similar to the one above ?to forbid the combination and to regulate the price that the artisans should receive for their work. A study of the implications of these acts, it is believed, would show that they anticipated not only the codes now in effect, but also the anti-trust and other acts passed by Congress late in the past century and early in this. It is likely that there were appeals to the courts from the rules thus laid down, but the court records of that period arc not readily available. Hatcher Predicts Greatest Novel The novel of the century is going to be written by somebody attending college today, Professor Harlan H. Hatcher, of Ohio State University's Knglish department, believes, according to a release from the Associated College Press. Prof. Hatcher is the author of "Tunnel Hill' and "Patterns of YVolfpen." "This generation, born during the war and being thrown out into a depression-stricken world, is certainly going to have something vital to say," he declared. Aspiring writers are advised to make an attempt to understand what the life of people is about in a locale they know well. Sketching characters is suggested as a good writing exercise. "Don't load up on composition courses," Prof. Hatcher warned. "One a year is enough to keep you in trim. Rut take all the courses in Knglish literature, economics, philosphy, psychology, sociology and fine arts that you can." ?u. H. o.?

WHEN ALI ;:P .4^ ^ A* V* JT Fish Causes Fatal Fight Argument Starts Due] University Mess Hall Scene Of Un usual Tragedy About 50 Years Ago An argument over a plate of fish at tlie I niversity mess hall once caused the death of two students. I he misunderstanding occurred on I'xiday i;i, some 50 years ago. One of two young men who were intimate friends had reached for some fish before the other and the latter proceeded to grah the plate from his companion. An argument started and it was decided that a duel should take place. 1 hey went to the city limits and fought. One of the two was killed in the affair?the other expelled from school. He returned to his home and aftervyards committed suicide. Another display of misconduct followed some years later when a group of students became disgruntled with the meat they were receiving. They got a steer from some place and dressed it "lit to kill." It was paraded around the campus and then taken to the river and drowned. At one time, in February, 1827, authorities were confronted with a group of students who marched to the president s office and informed him that they intended leaving the hall on the lirst of March.
