SUPREME COURT RULES GRACE OUT Orders That There Has Been No Election in Charleston?Watts Fiies Dissenting Opinion. The Record, Nov. 11. The Supreme Court of South Carolina by a majority opinion today declared that the result of the election held in Charleston for mzycr 'had not been legally ascertained and declared that the actions of the executive committee in attempting to do so were affected by errors of law prejudicial to the petitioner, Hyde, and must be set aside and it is so adjudged." The decision was handed down about 11: 20 o'clock Tuesday morning and the 'judicial determination of the court is that the election for mayor was null and void. The majority opinion was written by Associate Justice S. E. Hydrick and concurred in by Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary and Associate Justice T. B. Fraser. There was a dissenting opinion filed by Associate Justice R. C. Watts and concurred in by Associate Justice George W. Gage. The majority opinion holds that tne executive commiuee encu m inferring the challenged votes to a committee on canvass with power to act. It also holds that the executive committee erred in refusing to consider the alleged mutilated ballots. "The difference in the votes between the candidates for mayor," it says, was so small that a proper decision as those ballots might have changed the result." The decision of the court sets at nought the action of the Grace-controlled executive committee in declaring Grace the nominee. The result of the primary election as first declared gave Hyde a majority of . one vote. Seven thousand votes were cast in the Charleston election and it was one of the hottest election campaigns the state has ever known. The opinion of the court holds that the executive committee in Charleston acted illegally in referring the contested election ballots to a sub-committee on canvas, with power to act. Such power can not be delegated, the court holds. The court also holds that the committee had no right to amend the election rules and that it should have acted under rules adopted prior to the election. The court also holds that the executive committee erred in not consider ipg the alleged mutilated ballots. The committee threw out certain ballots that had been scratched with pen and ink and on which it was alleged that the scratching showed through the paper. These should have been properly examined, the L t.IJ. court nuiua. The concluding words of th? court's opinion are as follows: "From T>v.aL' has been said, it is clear that we can not determine from the record before us which of the candidates for mayor received the majority of the votes that were and ought to have been counted. We can not therefore sustain the contention of th: petitioners that the court will il _ J J 1 *1^ ^ consider me votes ana uecxare me election, nor can we sustain the contention that in the ^absence of a declaration of the executive count of the managers should be sustained u uticlaiation of the result. Under the rules the managers were not authorized to declare the Tesult. That was for the executive committee and it has not done so according to law. It follows that all that we can do is to hold that the result of the election has not been1 legally ascertained and declared and that the actions of the executive committee in attempting to do so were affected by errors of law, prejudicial to the petitioner, Hyde, and must be set aside and it is so adjudged." This means that there will have to he another election for mayor in ChactesSrA'n. T}ie court simply nullif.Z's the action of the executive committee in declaring Grace elected. Associate Justice Watts filed a dissenting opinion, in which he held that '^no errors of law had been committed and the proceedings should be dismissed." If the majority of the court had agreed with Justice Watts it would have meant the nomination of Grace. PRESENT DAY STYLES DECLARED. INDECENT iT" * Atlantic City, N. J.?Present Day styles of clothes worn by church women were censored today at the National Training World Movement of North America. "The indecent dress of some women in our churches makes it trehard for a voung man to 3ceep his thoughts clean and pure," declared the Rev. J. R. Crowder, of Seattle. "In public these days you can scarcely tell the* difference between a street woman and a church woman." PREPARING FOR NEW EXPRESS PACKING REQUIREMENTS i i i i Steps were taken today by Agent j , Y. B. Baker in charge of the city express olHce, to prepare for the new. express packing requirements, which ' go into effect on December 10. He has been advising: express shippers to ( study the new rules, which have been ' approved by the United States Railroad Administration, so that they. may be able to adjust their pack- j ing methods to the forthcoming new ! standards. j t j Under the new regulations, which, are embodied in what is known j ; technically as Supplement No. 5 to Express Classification No. 26, all : shipments sent by express weighing 'over 25 pounds, must be packed in wooden containers, or cartons of fibre-board, pulpboard, or corrugated : ctmvvhnard material, of specified "test strengths." This means, according to Agent Baker, that after December 10, packages over 25pound limit will not be accepted for i forwarding by the American Rail- j way Express company, handling the ! express business of the entire coun-1 try as agent of the railroad administration, if only paper wrapped. Nor, will ordinary paper boxes, wrapped j or unwrapped, be accepted as suitable protection for these heavier ship- j ments. The regulation!, however, j 1 do not affect shipment finder 25 ! Dounds. ! Regular shippers, Agent Baker 1 stated today, will not be mystified I by the new regulations, as they fol- j low very closely the packing require- i ments long in vogue in the freight j service. The express regulations, j 'however, allow a little more latitude in the size of the carton used. The j enforcement of the new rules was postponed until December 10, so that shippers would have plenty of time to prepare themselves for this change . in express packing standards. : Agent Baker expressed the opinion : that these new rules will not work j any hardship on shippers, but should operate distinctly in their interest, !as the rules will provide additional safeguards for merchandise in transit. Moreover, they will establish a uniformity of express packing rules which heretofore has been lacking. The new order does not affect the movement of food products by express, which are ordinarily shipped i in crates or barrels. I "We believe," stated Agent Baker, in explaining the new regulations, nnkli/t nrill wol. I tllctt tllC snipping pUk/IiV W AAA V* V* J come the new standards when they understand them, and the reasons 7 for putting them into effect. "Never before in the history of the country has the express traffic reached such proportions as it has! assumed today. At the same time, there has been comparatively little ; increase in the amount of car space j available for this business. We have | ; been asked to carry heavier shipments I 1 Atrn*?tr I ana coiniiiuuitico ui uuwi. able kind. i "Before the war, jt was possible for car messengers to spread their freight out on the floors of the ex1 press cars without much congestion. Today we are running dozens of through cars between the big cities and everyone of those ears is packed to capacity. There has been a similar congestion in the local runs, i "This has made it necessary for express shipments to be stacked. As a result, individual shipments have :had to be strongly enough packed to : ka nhlp tn stand ud fcr themselves, and owing to the lack of uniformity in this regard the new regulations . were formulated and finally approved ; by the railroad administration. The j stronger containers required, we believe, will very perceptibly help to | improve the express service and to I protect the miscellaneous articles of | merchandise travelling through this channel from damage or interference en route."

NO LAW PROHIBITS TEACHER USING ROD Attorney General Holds Teacher Has { Power of Parent While in School ?Says Punishment Should Not Be Wanton or Malicious? Makes Suggestion. The State. That there is 110 law on the statute books of South Carolina prohibiting a teacher from inflicting corporal punishment on a disorderly school child is in substance the answer S. M. Wolfe, attorney general of the state, has made to a letter asking for in? ~ 4-- ? ? lUIillClUlMl VII wllC puilll.. Mr. Wolfe's reply in full is as fol-j lows: "Replying to your inquiry of the 27th instant I advise that the matter of disciplining a school is one for the board of trustees and the teacher in charge to determine. There is no j law on our statute books in this state | prohibiting coiporal punishment. If to compel cbedience and to conform the pupils gi the school to proper decorum it is necessary i : some instances to resort to coiporal punishment the law does not prohibit its being inflicted. A teacher in charge of pupih and responsible for their conduct while in the school at least is in loco parentis and has such a portion of the powers of the parent! delegated to him as may be neces-1 sary to answer the purposes for which he is employed. "Of course if the teacher inflicts ; punishment which is wanton or mali cious in its nature or which results from some motive other than that of punishing the child for some misdemeanor in the school, the law would hold him responsible. It would like- ; wise hold him responsible for punishment. whir-h was hrntal in its nature i - and out of proportion to the offense j committed by the child. Where a ' parent objects to a child being made to coiiioii.i io the regulations of the school as approved by the board of i trustees, he should be requested to withdraw his child and send it else- . where. "If you will excuse my referring to my own experience as a teacher, I will say that I adopted a syscem of demeriting wherein 60 demerits ren * ^ 1 - -L X - T dereci'the otrentier suDjeci 10 e.\[iui-; sion or corporal punishment and j 1 always permitted the parent to in- j dicatc to me either in writing or per sonally his or her desire as to the j method cf punishing the child. Ifj 1 they preferred expulsion, the child' was forthwith expelled, if they said ' corporal punishment, the child was. punished accordingly and retained in j the school. This might be adopted as one means of getting around any possible objection on the part of con-i tentious and unreasonable patrons. As I have said above, v however, whenever corporal punishment is administered it must be administered in reason and just what would constitute this is a question of fact. The child should above all things be. thoroughly cognizant of his offense. No child should be punished unless he is fully apprised of the offense! -1 . i >?
