, Separate Additional Courts For Cities.
Th« congested condition of the
superior court dockets in Wake,
Guilford, Mecklenburg, Bun
combe, Forsyth and perhaps some
I other counties in which the larger
| cities of the State are located, has
been of such long standing and
proved so expensive to both coun
ties and litigants that a move
ment will lie in evidence when the
Legislature meets in January to
provide additional terms of court,
to care for tho situation. Sepa
rate courts of the same jurisdic-;
tion as tho county superior court
will probably be asked for a half
cloven of the larger cities of the
State. This would also ineau ad
ditional judges.
In a memorandum attached to
its report, the Wake county grand j
jury has complained of excessivo |
jail costs and recommended that
a-crimirml term of court be set for
the lirst week of August each year,
bridging the gap from July to
September. Also, the fraud jury
recommended that provisions be
made in addition to regular terms
of court, whereby.on the Monday
midway between criminal terms
the judge holdingvcourt in the dis
trict may call the criminal docket
and dispose matters not requiring
a jury. Such a system, the grand
jury stated, would save the tax
payers of '.Vake §I,BOO annually.
The memorandum met-the appro>
val of Judge C. C. Lyon, who com
mented favorably on it from the
bench, and instructed the Clerk
to send copies of the memorandum
to the Oout.ty Commissioners and
to Wake bounty's representatives
in the General Assembly.

* StaUMVins lUg Tax Suit.
Through its State Revenue De
partment tho Statu ot .-orth Caro
lina has won the big suit in the
U. S. Court in which th'i railroads
sought to delay aud avoid, in part,
the taxes due tho State. Judge
Connor has just tiled his decision
in Raleigh.
The opinion holds that thoj|live
railroads operating in the fetate
must pay §IIO,OOO aunu illy in
contested income taxes levied' by
the State.
Million Involved.
Original suits brought by the
Southern Railway, the Atlantic
Coast Line, the Seaboard Air
Line, the Norfolk Southern aud
the Atlantic and Yadkin in Octo
ber, 1921, involved more than a
million dollars iu contested taxes,
over and above the amount agreed
by the railroads to be just. A
three judge Cburt, composed of
Judge Kd'.iund Waddill of the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals,
Judge llenry C. Connor of the
Eastern District of North Caro

of proceedings, however, was
granted in Jun , pending an ap

I United States, whero the cases

In its original opinion, tho

FAK" EYE SPECIALIST.
Pretends to be Working Under State
* Board of Health. .
Raleigh, Nov. 11.--For the past
several weeks a man Claiming to.
bo an eye specialist sent out by
the State Boaru of Health has
been operating iu and around
Wilson, has' given the name
of Martiu in some places, is about
thirty years of age, and is travel
ing in a Chevrolet, coupe.
The activities of this man have
just been report I o the Stale
jiioard of Health, and Dr. \V. S.
Rankin declares him an impostor
and fraud, iu that the State Board
[of Health does not now have, and
has had, no such field worker.
Apparently this man is working
the same sort of fraud Lhat has
been practiced before in this
State, particularly last year in
some of the western Couul ie.i.. Xtye
more illiterate people are usually
jhosou as victims, aud euulwlence
is gained by the claim of be n
representative of the State Board
of Health, sent ont to make freo
examinations. Then usually'some
medicine for tho eyes and cheap
glasses* are prescribed, and as
much charged as can bo,obtain
ed. Iri ontl case reported this
was $25.
"In nearly every U .vn and city
of the state," said D . Rankin in
discussing this fraud, "there are
competent and reputable special
ists who will give adequate service
to those needing it and at reason
able fees Tho public should be
ware of traveling eye specialists
who are nearly always impostors
and quacks, and should be sed
ulously avoided. Sales of glasses
or alleged treatment made on the
basis of claims to be a represent
alive of the Slate Board of Health
iis obtaining money under false
pretonseis, and the State Hoard of
Health will prosecute such frauds
whenever sufficient evidence is
I furnished."

APPROVED BY USE
Words Really Incorrect Properly
Part of Language.
Charles A. Dana Unquestionably
' Right in His Contentions, but
He Has 3een Overruled.
Charles A. Dana (of the old New
York Sun) had no patience with
slovenly writing. lie knew Ills Greek
and Latin and half a score of other
languages so well that the—deriva
tion of an English word came to him
nl jost Instantly, and he objected to
it ;# misuse. , The plea that a ■ word
was In common use'dld not appeal to
him. He did "not heed t-.. - dictionary
definition He knew the origin of tins
word as welt ns did the maker of the
dictionary.
110 objected to saying of a- middle
aged man that ho was in the prime of
life, for the reason lhat "prime" Is
from the Latin word "primus," which
means first. A man In the prime of
life must he a very yonng man, ho
said, a man In the first part of his
Ufe, writes Chester S. L|r(F In tho
Saturday Evening Post. \
Likewise, he stirred tis up one das
by criticizing tho us-e a writer had
made of the word "manufactured" in
describing something made by ma
chinery. "'Manufacture,'" he said,
"conies from the Latin 'manus,' the"
hand, and Tttelo,' I make; manufac
ture means to make by hand, not by
machinery or In any other /way."
He objected to the use of ' '-oxter
ity" in the sense of skill, adroitness,
aptitude, either physical or mental.
"Dexter" Is the Latin word meaning
the right, nrd correctly speaking,
"dexterous movements" means right
hand movements, was the pie*.
"Where Is your Latin?" lie asked a
writer who had said that u political
t-onvention had indorsed a candidate.
"You cannot Indorse a man ; you In
dorse a note or a document by writ
ing on its hack. 'lndorse' Is from
the Latin 'ln,' on, and 'dorsum,' the
back. It is incorrect to use 1-t In tlu?
sense of a general approval." Some
one spoke up to say that under that
strict meaning you might indorse a
man *by hitting him on the back With
a club, and the critical lesson ended
in laughter.
These criticisms of Mr. Dana's Wero
made and hooded forty or fifty yours
ago. But like many other words of
Latin origin they have colne Into gen
eral use in the ways to which he ob
jected. t'snge Is ni.ip'lfylng the s v-
Ice of many Latin roots, is giving
them wider and more general moan
ing. "Dexterous" and "dexterity"
have come by common consent to
mean alert, nimble, physiftil or mental
service of various kinds. We use the
word "manufacture" for the making
of anything, by machinery or chem
ical processes or almost any way. We
Indorse men's sentiments or conduct,
the actloij., o" conventions or anything
to whlch-we wl#h to give the stamp
of approval.
"Prime" Is In constant use to ex
press vigor, beauty, power, fullness
of perfection, maturity.
1 These uses attest the constant
change, the expansion of our lan
guage. There Is less Inclination to
hold the language to rigidity of root
meaning.

A child's nature should be allowed

parents can help to bring out the best

Center of Interest.
I A room may be successfully ar

Ihe flreplape is easily and naturally
made that central object. If preferred,
a beautiful piece of furniture, such as
n fine cabinet or a highboy may be
given the position of prominence. A
fine picture, a window affording a de
lightful view, or open-door book
shelvog filled with enticing boots may
serve as the pivot about which the la
f«r«st revolves.
DUE OF MAN'S OLDEST ARTS
Velvet Has Seen Made Since tho Eaiti
e-;t Days of Which" History /
Ha 3 Record.
The art of velvet making was prac
ticed in the legendary days of ludo-
China. It is one of the oldest of arts,
since It was the lirst imitation of
maiPs lirst garment, fur. liven after
spinning and weaving had become
known, the ocellated pelt of the great
felines killed In hunting was the dress
for important occasions, and the most
beautiful of ancient fabrics shows that
the ambition of the weaver was to sur
pass his model and copy tho fur «f
the animal in something finer by fur.
The discovery of silk substituted soft
threads for hair, and tho threads took
the dyes as no fur could tuko them, i (
Asia kept tho art of velvet making
secret for nil exchange
states. No one were velvet but royal
persona'-os, and it wns for the most
part sen onlv in the procession# of
the r:i.j i! ~ Even ii. these times flie
'l,l:iok.' and the Japanese rasp their
threads with knives iu order to give
tho tissue the ii sport of real fur. In
dian velvet rippling with pearls as
lai'L'O as birds' e.gs diamond deudrops
und cloudy, red corundrum, was seen
in tls" processions of the durbar.
The A r ills were the fi rnt to exhibit
velvet o the lain i bordering on Hie
Modi'erninean. The lirst caliplis were
simple, pious and savage: peoptu r~thoy
were not templed by Asiatic luxury.
-But-the Islam that rume-after 'the ca
liphs drove its roots into the heart of
the ancient world and Invaded the
Aryan laitds of the Hindus and the
Ganges. The Arabs boasted of their
commercial zeal. Their caravans of
camels crossed the desert and wound
through the mountain passes of Iran,
carrying raro tissues, jewels, aud per
fumes and now and then a carefully
protected piece of velvet lay under
the folds of a praying-rug.
The splendid court of the Abbasslde
caliphs loved the silken pile of fabrics
of India. Bagdad was a city of silk
and velvet, and tho conquerors of
Africa and Spain contrasted strangely
with the Iron-clad warriors of tho
Cross. In all the ages velvet was hebl
sacred by tfle Mussulmans. At
dUia, In Damascus, and In Stamboul,
they employed It. t'» drape the tombs
of their caliphs aud their saints; and
when their warriors set out to die up
on, the fields of battle that part of
their trappings that did not gleam was
covered with velvet.

Lace and embroideries were pro
hibited by order of the general court
of Massachusetts in 10.14. Many peo
ple were tried and punished for wear-
IngjVistentatious apparel. In North
amptoii, In 1876, 38 women were
brought up at *>ne time In court for
their "wicked apparel." Not only did
the law makers and courts try to stop
the Increase of showy clothing, but
also tho ministers took up the refrain
and preached agitlnst tho display of
finery.
Earle, a leading historian of tills
period, says: "After a while tho whole
church interfered. In 1079, the church
at Andover put It to a vote whether
'the Disapprove of tho female
sex sitting with their Hats on In the
Meeting-house In the time of Divine
Service as being Indecent.' In the
town of Abingdon, In 1775, It was voted
that It.was 'an Indecent way *hat the
female sex do sit with # their hats and
bonnets on to worship God.' Still an
other t'iwn voted it was 'the Town's
Mind' that the women should take
their bonnets off In ttui_meetlng and
'hang them on the peggs.

Where to Get Soil for Inoculating
Nitrogen-gathering Cr^ps.
The Progressive Farmer.
To inoculate crimson clover,
use soil from land that has suc
cessfully grown crimson clover,
red clover, alsiko clover, whit*
elbver, or hop clover. Soil from ft
field that has grown ;uiy one of
these crops is inoculated for any
other oue of the group. In other
words the same kind of nitrogen
fathering bacteria live and ork
in the nod ill; s on the roots of each
of these clovers. Therefore to
inoculate for crimson clover this
fall, you don't have to have soil
from a crimson clover field. Soil
from a field of red clover, r.lsike,
vfnite, or hop clovei* will do as
well. - - . ■»
To inoculate for alfalfa, you
need not necessarily se soil from
.ill .ilfalty Held. Soil from a field.
of bur cioVer, sweet i over, black
medic, or button clover will do
just as well. Each oi these crops
is inoculated by the f- irno kind of
bacteria.
Whtjre you sow v itch, you will
