"V
Duke Gives Reason For Vast Endow
ment. Declares People Need
Trained Men iu Professions.
New York, Dec, 12.—A desire to
furnish the “(frowinpr empire of the
industrial South” with leaders in reli
gion, law, medicine, education, engi
neering and science, moved James B.
Duke to create his $40,000,090 educa
tion fund, the tobacco magnate said
at his New York residence today.
“I don’t believp, that * college edu
cation does a man much good in busi
ness except for the personal satisfac
tion,” he declared, “but the people cf
the Carolinas are increasing in num
bers all of the time and they need
leaders who must be trained.
“The people are entitled to the best
men they can get to preach to them;
they need skillful men to teach their
children; lawyers shuukl be the sound
est men in the community; without
good doctors they can not live, and
technical men are needed to help
i
their growing industries progress.’'
“But won’t all this luxury spoil the
people of the South?” he was fsked.
“There will be no luxury,” Mr.
Duke asserted. “Nothing makes peo
ple so unhappy as luxury. Satisfied
ambition is an awful thing. How can
you be happy if not busy ? This very
project will keep me busy for the
rest of my life, although I’m just lay*
ing down the broad principals and
leaving the educational details to
others.” ■ . -
Mr. Duke came North yesterday to
record the fund at Sommerville, N.
L He is a resident of that state.

Chills, & Stomach Trouble

he can’t remember

‘‘When we have chills,”

stomach trouble. I couldn’t
bat enough and was very
weak. Everything I ate
hurt me, formed gas and I
spit up my food. I would
feel stupid 0r staggery. I
didn't feel like doing any
work. I knew what Black-
Draught had done in colds
and I began taking small
doses. I certainly got re

“When I go to town, I
look first to see how near
out of Black-Draught we
are, and then get more.
We are a good way from

Big Week. *
Coligpbia, S. C., Dec. 16.—“Delivery
week” opened with <a rush with the
South Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co
operative association, officials of that
organization stated last night, over
1,200 bales of cotton having been
delivered yesterday. Reports receiv
ed from over the state indicate a
very heavy delivery may be expected

hand has been requested to send it
during the week.
Deliveries for the first two weeks
of December, 1924, were approximate
ly double the first two weeks of De
cember, 1923, it was announced last
night, and it is believed by some of
the officials that they will nearly
treble last year’s deliveries for the
whole month.
The association yesterday received
a copy of a report made by Arno S.
Pearse, secretary of the International

saHants after he had fallen, but they
escaped withoutJynjury. Efforts to
capture them failed after blood
hounds had trailed them * for two
miles across fields to the Greenwood-
McCormlck highway.
Mr. Nichols, wh6se store is on the
outskirts of South Greenwood, had
closed for the night and was on his
way home, a quarter of a mile dis
tant, with Mrs. Nichols, when lie was
attacked. Mrs. Nichols was walking
a few feet ahead and the two men

Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Jester, who hap
pened to be passing in an automobile
a few minutes after the shooting,
rushed Mr. Nichols to a hospital and
notified officers. Blood hounds were
brought from Newberry several hours
afterward. They lost the trail on the
hard surface/ highway near the Con
nie Maxwell orphanage where offi
cers believe the men continued their
flight in an automobile.
About two years ago Mr. Nichols
was painfully injured when he was
atacked in his store by a negro who
has never be?n captured.

C. W. McCravy, of Laurens, who

and recommends to the foreign spin
ners that they do business direct with
them. He discussed at length the
rapid growth of the movement and
declares that “the cotton growing and
manufacturing industry is likely to
gain great benefit by cooperation.”
“These associations,” says IVfr.
Pearse in his report, “are the real
mouth pieces of the cotton farmers.
Hitherto the consumer has not had an
authoritative body before whom he
