Court Notes.
A number of cases have oeen set
tled this week, but three cases have
taken up most of the time of the
court The case of Joe Boohe
a) aics : J B. and B. P. Waddell,
for false airest and abuse of pro
cess and asking damages, was ta
ken up Monday and more than a
day was consumed, after which the
Jury found in favor of the defend
ants. The case of H. J. Stockard
and A. J. Porterfield, adm'rs of Y.
B. Warren, et sl„ against A. E
Warren and wife. This was a
claim against the estate of Y. B.
Warren for certain lands, based on
letters written defendant by de
ceased. After more than a half
day had been consumed in taking
testimony the defendants were non
suited and appealed to the Supreme
Court. The case of C. R. Orant
of Mebane for damages for loss of
an eye caused by the bursting of a
bottle, against the Graham Chero-

Hon. I. W. Bailey of Raleigh Spealu
and Brunswick Stew Served Draft
ed Men.
The drafted men, white and
colored, by special invitation gather
ed in the court house Saturday to
hear Hon. J. Bailey who had
been invited to address them. It
was showery and a few failed to
come. Before the speaking the Boy
Scouts paraded—they drilled like
sure enough soldiers.
• The speaking was at 2 o'clock in
the court room which was filled with
the drafted men and civilians. Mr.
E. S. Parker, Jr., in an excellent
short talk introduced Mr. Bailey,
who spoke for more than an hour.
He made a fine speech, full of en
couragement to the Boldier boys, in
spiring and uplifting. He pictured
the brave patriotic soldier and the
honors in store for him when the
war is over. After Mr. Bailey had
finished Mr. Lynn B. Williamson, of
the local National Defense commit
tee invited everybody to eat Bruns
wick Stew served by the Red Cross
Workers.
The Patriotic Rally was a pro
nounced success.

Graham Troop No. 1, Boy Sconta qf
America, Organized tad What They
Are Doing.
* It-is gratifying to note that a Boy
Scouts Troop has been organized in
Graham. The official name of the
Troop is Graham Troop No. 1, Boy
Scouts -of America. About two
years ag the Boy Scouts had their
beginning in Graham for the first
time. There was an enthusiastic
troop of boys at that time, but the
mutterings of war on the Mexican
border came along and the little
band disintegrated.
Since our country has entered into
real war with the Allies against
Germany it has been found that the
organization of Boy Scouts is no' on
ly an attractive and beneficial organ
ization among boys, butonethaacan
be used to excellent purpose. Brief
ly stated the purpose of the organi
zation ts to train boys correctly —
morally, nentally and physically, all
of prime importance in the making
of boys into highclass men. The
Boy Scouts is not a military organi
zation, but they drill and have uni
forms. They have bylaws, rules and
regulations by which they are gov
erned.
Last week notice was received
from National Headquarters that
Graham Troop No. 1, B. 8. A,, had
been accepted. There •is a local
committee that has the oversight
of the local troop, and is composed
of Messrs. Lynn *B. Williamson, J.
Dolph Long, and Phil. S. Dixon,
with Lon G. Turner, Scout-Master.
The boys will be found ready ana
willing to do many useful, acts, ana
everyone should speak % word of
encouragement to them. They will
be found very helpful in doing
chores for the Red Cross workers
They were quite a factor in selling
Liberty Bonds and during the pase
summer they have done wonders
in farm and garden work.
Last Saturday, when the Red
Cross Chapter wanted a place put
in shape for serving Brunswick
stew to the drafted men. the mat
ter was put before the Scouts. The
lot on the cornet east of the court
house was selected. It was covered
with weeds and rubbish, but hoes,
rakes, forkß and scythes in the
hands of the boys Friday evening
put it in all right shape in a very
short while. It rained Saturday
morning and the stew could not be
given out-doors, so the boys came
into service again and put the
buildings adjoining the lot into
shape to be used.
So after afl it may be said that
the very best thing that the Scout
organization can accomplish is the
proper direction of the superabund
ance of energy with which the av
erage boy is endowed.
Calvin Faison, who killed his
brother-in-law, William Hicjcs, in
Wake county, submitted to a
charge of manslaughter and was
sentenced to five years in State
prison. Faison said be killed
Ilicks because the latter mistreat
ed his wife, a sister of Faison.
Chas. Lutes, a Wayne county
farmer, shipped a car of hogs—
88—to Baltimore. The 88 were
the product of ten sows and were
shipped at the age of 10 months,
the average weight being 150.
They sold for $18.20 on foot and
the lot netted Lutes $3,109.80 —15
cents a pound on foot.
A freight train was derailed
near Magnolia, Duplin county,
Friday night, due to a washout.
A negro fireman was found dead,
buried in mud. 11. H. Moore,
white brakeman, believed to be
drowned or buried in mnd. The
engine overturned and nine cars
plunged into a creek.
At a railroad crossing in Hick
ory a Southern passenger train
struck a buggy containing Mrs.
Alphonso Wilkie and her 12-year
old daughter, Zula. The buggy
was demolished and bolh of the
little girl's legs broken. Mrs.
Wilkie was not seriously hurt and
the horse escaped injury.
The Wake county grand jury
has presented Capers White, a
clerk in the Raleigh postoffice,
who is charged with violating the
liquor laws. When the Federal
court went after the Raleigh liqnor
bunch some time ago, Borne who
were caught accused White and
alleged that a Federal employe
was being protected. Now the
State court, which allowed the
Federal court to do its work in the
other cases, is administering on
White.

Fire Dangers in Schools
Recently throughout the State
of New Jersey many old schools,
constructed without regard to Are
prevention, have been condemned
and new schools ordered built.
Dr. Calvin N. Kendall, State
Commissioner of Education, has
addressed instructions to secre
taries and district clerks of boards
of education, urging that every
power be exercised to safeguard
children in school buildings.
The Newark Hoard of Educa
tion has received recommenda
tions for the minimizing of Are
hazards, and direct Are alarms,
chemical extinguishers, metal
cans for rubbish, boiler rooms
A re-proofed, etc., has been sug
gested.
As Dr. Kendall rightly saya:
"Important as education is, it is
not worth what it cost* if this edu
cation involves physical danger
to pupils and teachers in the
buildings provided by the people
of school districts of the Stale."—
The Expositor.
A few nights ago at Catawba,
while on his way home from the
store, some one threw a sack over
Mr. J. D. Little's head and knock
ed him down. The supposed rob
ber searched Mr. Little's pocket
but found nothing.
WHY SUFFER SO ?
Why suffer from a bad back,,
from sharp, shooting twinges, head
ache*. dizziness and distressing kld
ey snd bladder Ills? Graham people
recommend Doan'e Kidney Pills,
could you ask for stronger proof of
merit?
Mrs. J.M. Crawford, W. Harden
St., Oraham, says: 'I suffered so
severely from backache that I could
hardly get around. Often sharp
twlgea caught e across my loins,
waa so tired that I could hardly
move and was nervous, I tried dif
ferent edlcines for y kidneys but
got no relief until I began taking
Doan's Kidney Pills. They made
me feel better in every way and my
back stopped bothering me/-
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
simply aak for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pllls-the same
that Mrs. Crawford had. Poster-

IThe Alamance County Sunday School Association, liko
all other organizations, is passing through a period of strik
ing transition that calls for much change and readjustment.
This fact is in itself encouraging, for it indicates that prog
ress in Sunday School work is the order of the day, and that
the old line organizations are simply getting jready to cope
with the larger difficulties and larger possibilities that come
together with the progress of time.
•If the Sunday Schools are to come in for the major part
of the big program of religious education that is now in the
making, trained leadership will continue to foe the crying
need, therefore, it is more important tlian ever that the pas
tors, superintendents, officers, teachers and workera attend
the coming County Convention, which will give one of the
opportunities of many to approach a little mora closely the
wholesome and comprehensive thing that is possible here in
the good county of Alamance.
•All county and township officers, together with pastors
and superintendents, are delegates without election to this
convention. All schools are expected to send delegates, while
friends of the cause, whether delegates or not, are always
welcome, not only to the convontion, but to participation
in the exercises and discussions. There will be an advantage
in being on tifne at the opening session Saturday morning
and remaining to the close on Sunday afternoon, due to the
fact that the program has been systematically built £gf
erence to definite things to be undertaken both by the county
and township associations and individual schools.
