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."

Third Of Motion Pictures Series
Shows Value Of Spinal Injection
Alpha Kpsilon Delta held its regular
meeting Tuesday night in I.e Conte

"Spinal Anaesthesia," a film, was
shown while Dr. Schayer explained the
picture, which showed operation of the
nost complicated type, which only few
>f the best doctors have attempted.
This was the third of the series of
films loaned to the society by the
CVinthrop Chemical Company. The
object of the film was to show the advantages
of avert in, recently discovered
inacsthesia, which will make future
operations less complicated.
Avertin, as was pointed out by Dr.

Fatal Fight

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. 'I he students would
listen to no reasoning on the matter,
so the faculty was compelled to enforce
the law and suspend the offen
