The court ruled mat wnne Mr. Parks was an employe of the Boyle Koliertson Construction Company he was not a member of the firm and was therefore not liable for any debts incurred. A motion to dismiss the case for the want of proper service was allowed. However, an appeal was taken. A. G.

William Brown, colored, who sought to recover $500 for injuries sustained at Third and Market strceis, recently, while employed on" iino of the ice delivery wagons of the Independent.

The addfess of Professor ffoble will only be the continuation of a series of addresses in this direction as Pro fessors Brogden, Newbold and Wil liams have already spoken totle rural school teachers of this county this season in an effort to further the work. Otherxmeri' prominently iden tified with educational work will speak after the first of the year. According to Professor Catlett the holding of the community meetings, at which educational "addresses are made, is one of the most effective methods of impressing upon the par ents the necessity of children attend ing school regularly. As the commun ity meetings are held at the county school houses, at which mothers and fathers gather from all the; surround ing territory, they see" for themselves what excellent advantages are being offered. They, too, become better ac quainted with the instructor and their methods. ' . Invitations to attend the addresses have been extended to each of the threg committeemen of the twenty-one rural schools. Professor Catlett is enthusiastic over the results that have been obtained from the organization Local Methodist Ministers and Lay , Delegates Will Go. to Durham Early in Week. The Hon. Max Gardner, the next Lieutenant Governor of North Carp Una, who is to be chief orator for the annual memorial' exercises of WiK mington Lodge, No. 532, B. P. O. E., which will be held this afternoon at '3.30 o'clock in the Victoria theatre, arrived in the city late yesterday evening and spent the night as a guest of '-the Orton Hotel. Mr. Gardner did not reach , the city as early as ho had anticipated, being delayed, in Raleigh where he introduced Governor Brum baugh, of Pennsylvania, to the Teach ers' Assembly, in session there.' The exercises this afternoon in hon or of deceased members of the or ganization, will be of a most interest ing, and impressive nature and many are expected to attend. Similar exer cises will be held in every city in the country where there is an Elk lodge during the same hour the exercises are being held here. Mr. Gardner was to have delivered the address at the memorial exercises here' last year, 'but was prevented from j doing so i because of injuries received in a railroad accident at Salisbury. Because Mr. Gardner is a speaker of unusual force and because of his pleas ing personality and the fact that he is known and-liked here it is presum ed that all will want to hear him ar it is highly probable that the Victoria will prove inadequate. to seat all who will wish to attend. A highly interesting program has been arranged and was . printed in The Dispatch of Friday afternoon, the day it was announced. The exercises Everything is in readiness for the ! convening of the North Carolina Con- j ference of t: e Methodist Episcopal Church, South, .which will occur at the i Memorial Methodist church, corner of - West Chapel Hill and South Duke streets, ; Durham, N.

Methodist ministers and laymen are looking forward with much pleasure to the coming Conference and have been planning for it for several weeks past. . . Four Methodist ministers of this city and! Rev. L. E.. Thompson, presid ing elder, of the Wilmington district, in addition to numerous laymen, will make the trip to Durham. . In view of the fact that Rev. Mr. Thompson has served his four years here it is more than likely that he will be given an other districtMiowever the other min isters expect to be returned to their charges here.

The thousands of persons that pass ed this busy corner last evening ad mired the brightly lighted electric sign which is entirely appropriate of the occasion which is being observed.

"I think it would be a good idea, like Germany, to transport farm pro ducts on the inland waterways, and manufactured products at a higher rate by rail," he said. Mr. Thorn declared himself in favor of inland waterway transportation. Throughout the hearings he has held that additional transportation facili ties always upbuild the country. Representative Sims . asked . Mr. Thom today if nationalization of the railroads would nullify State laws such as the "full crew" laws of Penn sylvania and New Jersey. "That depends upon the wording of the nationalization act," replied - Mr. Thom. "I think the government should as sume full responsibility. Congress has power to. repeal those state laws if the railroads are taken over by the government. It puts congress in the position of occupying the field."

"It would cause financial upheav al," Said Mr. Thom. "These stocks have already been sold to Creditors." "Nevertheless I think it would be the right thing," replied Senator Cummins. "Some of these stocks are 'below value now and some people are hoping that through some necro 'mancy they may regain par. I think capitalization should represent the value.
