Those who : asked that the injunction be made per manent will take the matter to the 5SS hstrT in "order that the V t Jurted- and' to toer.Ued the buslw s tu-oommtsston-may toe satisfied , ana to i -ppfw remove. any obstacle to ine bbib ui mo ,wuu'1' -- j . 1 fends that-might otherwise exisi as a result of the. legal proceedings insti tuted in the matter, in case the decis ion of the lower court is upheld. Judge Lyon delivered no lengthy pinion on the question, as It had al ' ready been agreed between opposing . counsel that an appeal would be taken to the supreme court for nnal disposi tion. He stated that he considers some provisions of the law bad; tout that he would not say that the whole is un constitutional, leaving that question to the decision of the higher tribunal. He then signed the Judgment dissolving the temporary injunction against the commission, ' ...' The plaintiffs based their allegation that the law is unconstitutional On the ollowlng points, embodied in the com plaint presented before Judge Lyon: That the board of road commissioners is self-perpetuating; that the means provided tor the condemnation of land for btrhway purposes are inadequate, -insufficient notice being .given prop erty owners to safeguard their rights, that certain road machinery and oth- nrmwrtv 'belonging to Lexington and other townships is confiscated, this property now being used by town ship Toad trustees; that convicts n umoed to the road from three record- ers' courts will be used to work the roads ot the entire county: that con trol of the roads Is taken from the ronntr commissioners, at the same time compelling them to levy taxes to pay interest on bonds, create a sink lag land (or them and maintain all roada buttt, and that the commission . woHJ be amenable to no authority. other allegation was that the act , .tad keen ."slipped through", the eeaem . ' bly without the knowledge of the peo- ' le of the county, and that an erange- ment was mad with-correspondents - Is Raleigh of the Greensboro -Dally News and the Charlotte Dally Observ er to withhold news of the act being ' introduced.' No mention was made ot the ongfcn of Secretary of-the Navy Joeephus Daniels, the inference being that if publication was made in that tba matter would still remain a pro tonnd aaerat .- In rebuttal of these allegations the defense answered briefly at follows: - lat tb board cannot be self-perpetu-, attnc, because members vote for euc i cesser and not for themselves, the t terra of two of the board expiring ev ery two years and the remaining; four catering tselr successors; that If the means provided for condemnation of lands sue Inadequate, the general law will provide redress; that property now belonging to certain townships ' will, nnder th-eew law, be used to these townships: that a similar pro vision Is made relative to the working cviota now sentenced t serve in certain , townships until these een- i- tences expire; that the general law -T will take care of the situation regard ' ing the position in which the commis sioners ' are placed as 'to control of Toads and levying ot special taxes, as well as making the road commission amenable te the people ot the county. Arguments for the plaintiffs by Judge J. 8. Manning, of Durham, ot the rfim ot Manning de Kltchln and 8. ' E. Williams, of Lexington, were made, E. B. Raper and Z. V. Walser, ot Lex ington, arguedtfor the defense. This ' side had likewise retained Phillips d; - Bower, of Lexington,, ,The arguments , began about 10 o'clock and were con- ; cludMl at 1:30, when Judge Lyon ren dered his decision. Immediately after ' this decision, attorneys for the defense expressed confidence that this judg ment will be upheld by the supreme court. Similar confidence, .but ot an opposite result, was possessed, ao- - parently, toy the other side. Each member ot the mew road com . mission and Representative C. H. . Leonard,, who drafted the law, was present. . The .commissioners are: J. W. Lamlbetb and J. W. Peacock, ot Thomasville: L. V. Phillips and E. J. Buchanan, of Lexington; T. H.

TALKING BETTER TIMES. Nation's Business Adjusting itself to ' War Conditions Everybody . Hopeful. . . . ' ' Red Buck .Bryant, writing to the Charlotte Observer .from Washington, says that It may be a dream, but ev erybody la talking better times, and that sort of thing helps.

"The resumption of business activ ity and Improvement of conditions which began as soon as we could re adjust ourselves after the ouflbreak of the war Is continuing steadily accord ing to all of the evidence that comes to my attention and the movement should quicken a. little faster now," Mr. Fahey went on. "The opinion of the average man about business con ditions is generally governed by his personal point of view, his tempera mental characteristics and the condi tion of his own business. However, the consensus of all expressions which come to me is that In almost every di rection things are now mending rap idly. As a result of the war it is In evitable that there will be marked slowness in some lines, but more men are being put to work every week and the industrial output is Increasing." President Wilson and those associa ted with him in the Washington ad ministration believe that the worst of the depression that came with the European war is over, and the. tenden cy from this time on will .be upward instead of downward. Everybody is hopeful. Almost ev ery unbiased person is talking better times. Referee Randolph Election Case. Asheboro, March. 0.

As all civil mature before the court have been cleared off the docket. Judge Shaw adjourned court this af ternoon .till nexVJdondsjt' week when the court will reconvene for the trial of criminal cases. Most .of the inter est in the civil docket was centered around the -quo warranto proceedings instituted by Wright against Caveness for the office ot clerk of the superior court and Ward against Scarboro for the office of county commissioner. The matter came up early in the week and wae postponed until today when Judge Shaw appointed Thomaa C. Guthrie. of Charlotte, as referee. Both sides were represented y - a ibrilllant array of legal talent and it the trial bad been held It would nave been a battle royal. The attorneys rep resenting the plaintiffs were ex-Judge W.

" The Confederate veterans' - of the South are looking forward with great interest to' what -will prooably be the last great Confederate re-union which is to be held in Richmond, the historic capital of the Confederacy, Jane 1 to 3. The fact that the latter date is (he anniversary of the birth of the presi dent of the Confederacy, Jefferson Da vis, adds interest to the occasion. ' , The veterans are passing rapidly. It is more tban probable that this will be the last big gathering of the veter ans and it Is entirely fitting that this meeting should be held in Richmond. The old soldiers of this section will attend in large -numbers (because of the nearness of the meeting place and the very small cost of making the trip. General Julian s. carr, Head ot tno North Cardlina division of the United Confederate Veterans, has issued Gen eral Orders No. 53 to the members of his division, as follows: "Paragraph 1. The 2."ith annual re union of the United Confederate vet erans will be held in Richmond, Va., .Tune 1. 2 and '!, 1915, the last named dato being the anniversary of the birth of President Jefferson Davis, and it is hoped that there will be a large at tendance of the comrades -of this di vision. This will probably be the last uiiuui (.utility i:iui tiie rtjieraus lrum- this state will have of attending a re- union so near to them and the cost of attendance be so small. "Paragraph 2. The soil of-Virginia is made sacred to all southerners by the blood and bones of many thousand Confederate heroes, and a visit to that state will be a pious pilgrimage to do them reverence. North Carolina sent her thousands to defend Richmond from hostile armies, and, among all of those brave defenders, none did more valiant Bervlce or suffered more than the gallant Tar 'Heels, and it is hoped many of their Burvivors will again go to Richmond and meet with their old comrades. The patriotic and public spirited citizens of Richmond are preparing for the comfort and pleasure of the veterans In every way possible and a warm welcome awaits all who attend. At veterans who de sire free entertainment must write to D. A. Brown, Jr., chairman, at Rich mond, who will secure quarters for. them. - i-.. 1 ... "Paragraph 3. All camps ot this di vision are earnestly urged to remit at once, if they have not already done so, their annual dues to Gen. W. E. Mlckle, sxa common street New Orleans. No camp that Is in arrears for its annual dues Is allowed a Vote or voice in-the meetings at nr annual reunions. " Of tbe 61 camps in this division only St had paid their dues and were entitled to representation at the reunion last year at Jacksonville, and it is hoped that there will ibe a fuller representa tion at Richmond. So, pay your dues without delay and let our state have a large attendance this year. "Paragraph 4. The railroad com panies will give the UBUal low rate of one cent a mile to all persons attend ing the reunion, whether veterans or visitors, and the exact fare from any station can be ascertained from the local agent 1 Good Piece ef Legislation. "One of the best pieces of legisla tion ot this General Assembly," said a prominent man of the state recently, "Is that regarding tbe state sanator ium tor the treatment of tuberculosis, especially the act creating a training school for nurses. This is going after tufterculosls right," be continued, "for If we can have nurses trained in tu berculosis work to go out among the people and teach them how to lire t6 avoid tuberculosis a wel as the, way to get cured, then we'll be eeTtlna down close to the problem and we won't be long solving it" ' Whether the above prophecy is true or not. there's no doubt about tbe effi cacy of the plan. - The act referred to reads thus: "Power and tuthorlty le nereoy expressly given the state san atorium to organise and conduct a training school for nurses. The su perintendent shall be the ex-officlo dean of training school for nurses and shall have power and authority to ap point such faculty, prescribe such course or courses or lectures, study ana clinical work and award such di plomas, certificates .and other evi dences of the completeness ot such course or courses as he may think vise ana proper, and perform such other functions and do such other acts as he may think necessary in the con ducting of such tralning'sehool." . Trained nurses have been one of the strongest forces ever cent out against tbe white plague. They meet tne enemy on tbe enemy's ground and there fight to conquer. They enlist patient and household, and when giv en this support ths victory Is theirs. They don't stop at tel'ine: how a thins Is done, but how It Is done, why it Is aone ana the results to be expected.

Ro per, a good South Carolinian with a Tar Heel wife, have performed a mar velous feat in providing postmasters for the 60,000 offices In the United States.

Will be provided for by recess appointments. This will leave l,i00 to be filled between the first Monday in December 19J6, and the 4h of March. 1817, : - The fourth-class officers are divided Into civil service and inspector cases. Mr. iRoper has Ailed, since the 4th of March, 1913, 27,664 out of the 48,164. Six thousand: d( the jematahjf 10,500 were"iftlled under civil service br" the PTsft ' administration. Four thousand five hundred are now pending, i , This time two years ago ' tha nost- effices of tbe tJBttetf Stateei were in tne 'Annas or pnwirani, t Today a vast majority of them 'are run- by democrats. Theie are vut sit presi dential postofflces in North Carolina In the hands .of republicans, and before long there will be none. Of the 1,682 fourth-class offices In North Carolina all are filled except 95. There are 160 presidential offices in - the state, 154 have been taken care of. The democrats were not held back very long, considering that examina tions must be made for the fourth class offices. When Congress adjourned on the 4th only one North Carolina nomina tion for a postofflce was unconfirmed by ' the. senate, and that was John H. Wilson at Sylva.
