Court convened Monday for the trial of civil cases with Judge John H. Kerr presiding. When Judge Chas. M. Cooke resigned the latter part of last year the. Governor ap pointed Judge Kerr to succeed him. Judge Kerr held his first court in Robeson county, and so well pleas ed was the bar of that county witn him that a meeting was; held ana resolutions highly complimentary to him were passed. Since his first court he has borne himself so well that a repetition of the nice things said of him could be repeated with propriety. While here he is the guest of his cousin, Mr. Jas. K. Mebane. Judgp Kerr is a native of Caswell county, but his home is at 'Warrenton, Warren county. A calendar had been set with cases more than sufficient to oc cupy .the entire week, but owing to sickness of witnesses and things unforeseen a number of cases haa to be continued. Isevertheless con siderable business has been dispos ed of and a good week's work done. Only one divorce was grant ed at this term ; two other divorce cases were .dismissed from the docket, reconciliations having ta ken place. The most important case, one that consumed nearly two days in try ing, was the First National Bank of Graham, Va., vs. R. J. Hall. The latter was endorser on a note to the Bank, and the jury gave a ver dict against the defendant for $1860.07. The case hinged on whether Mr. Hall was a partner in • the firm of Harf, Hall & Co. The defendant gave notice of appealt o the Supreme Court. County Commissioners Meet and Dis cuss Road Maintenance. The Board of County Commis sioners met laßt Saturday and, be sides the routine business disposed of, discussed the building and main tenance of our road system Mr. W £>. Spoon, who built the first macad am roads in the county, and has had an experience of twenty years in road construction, was before the Board and gave his views. Mr. Spoon as road engineer and builder is an expert, but here in bis own ►-eonnty he is vitally interested and is out for the best that can be done with least cost to and the greatest advantage to the taxpayers. We will not attempt to sum up his views here, as the conference was for the purpose of looking over the situation. The county has Bpent large sums of money for roads. The macadam roads were built for permanency. The grading was well enough done, bnt the surfacing is almost gone, and something will have to be done to save what is left. That is the pro blem that will have to be solved and the solution cannot long be delayed. —For Sale—One pair good mules, medium Hize, cash or time. Chas. C. Thompson, Graham, N. 0.

HEAT TOO MUCH. - Best Work Done and Best Health Ma|ptained in Cool, Dry, Moving Air. ■ * The right temperature for the office, living room or work room, that degree of heat that will keep one comfortable, healthful and at the same time will enable him to do the greatest amount of work with the greatest ease is discussed* in today's bulletin from the State Board of Health. It says: "Seventy degrees of heat which most people think they are keep ing when in reality the thermom eter reads anywhere from 72 to 78 is, for all practical purposes, too hot: It is enervating and un healthful. It predisposes to fa tigue, colds, grippe and especially to pneumonia for the reason that too much heat» lowers bodily re sistance. t "Careful study and all experi mentations demonstrate that a moderately cool, dry air iu motion is the best air condition for the body. At no lime is a tempera ture higher than G8 degrees recom mended while a much lower tem perature is needed to work in. In no country in Europe is the indoor temperature allowed to go over 08 degrees while the usual house temperature over there is 00. Huntington states that men do their best mental work wiled the air temperature is 00 and their best physical work when ft is about 40. The best alb-round temperature for work is 50, he says. "Observations have further shown that the minimum amount of work during the year is done during the hot summer months and the middle winter months— January and February—when in door heat is highest. Students at West Pointand Annapolis do their best mental work, mathematics in particular, in the spring and fall and their worst work iu mid winter and inid-summei. Exces sive heat and lack of cool, fresh air is thought to make the dif ference." Morganton is getting ready for city delivery of mails.

Chapel Ilill, N. C , Jan. 10. — Schools taking part this year in the High School Debating Union, conducted by the University of North Carolina, may now secure from the University a copy of the new bulletin which gives abun daut argument on both sides of the question at issue—Govern ment Ownership of Railroads. The volume iu all contains 92 pages, embracing a comprehen sive brief on both sides ot the question and selected articles chosen from « wide field of publi cation, giving due emphasis to both sides of the question. It is already certaiu that the contest this year, which is the lifill since the plan was inaugu rated, will be the biggest yet held. So far 325 schools have signified their desire to take part, as many as the entire number for last year The first year, 1912-'l3, only DO schools were enrolled. The tri angular debates will be held late in March, aud then tlie winners will come to Chapel Hill for the final contest for the Aycock Cup early in April. This year there will bo a High School Week, with athletic cou'ests as well as the debates. The schools will have a Uack meet and also a tennis tournament on the recently con structed varsity courts. The renown of the North Caro lina High School Debating Union hits gone abroad. This year both Alabama and Kentucky will hold similar debates, aud furthermore will use the same question aud the same bulletiu th it will be used in this State. Secretary E. R. Rankin states that these two States have applied to him for a number of copies sufficient for their needs. In Kentucky the work is under the auspices of the University; in Alabama, under the leadership of the agricultural college, a Carolina graduate, W. R. Taylor, being director of the debates, "The Trees of North Carolina" is the title of an in'eresting book which has just been published by Prof. W. C. Coker, of the Uni versity Department of Botany. He was assisted iu this work by Instructor H. R. Totten. The book is dedicated "to the young people of North Carolina, in the hope that as they learn to know their State better, they may come to love her more." The Charlotte Observer says of this book: "Dr. Colter's book on our native trees is one publication that fits into the library not only of the home, but of public institutions and of every city aud rural school in the Slate." The volume treats of the native trees of the State —IHO are treated iu all besides a number of intro duced trees. It shows the abun dance and wealth of varieties iu the State, only Florida and Texas having a larger variety. A glos sary and index with the book en ables one to Hud the description for any particular tree. Among the varieties listed are ten of maples, ten hickories, ten mag nolias aud live poplars. There is abundant information about trees for both the adults and the chil dren. The llalift ot Taking Culd.
