Jnigt Boyd Says Highest Type Is Found ' In North Carolina The. Pro--hibltlon Law. In charging the grand jury in the United States District court in Char lotte yesterday, Judge Boyd spoke of the high type of "Americanism that abounds in this state and referred inci dentally to the recent prohibition elec tion. JEn speaking of the national spirit to be found here, Judge Boyd bald: . "The finest type of Americanism is in North Carolina, for you have the smallest proportion of foreign "popula tion, and if ever such a time of testing comes, you will be the first to defend your country, if she is ever faced with destruction. "No matter that we once fought on this soil one tf the bloodiest wars ever known; no matter if brother drew sword against brother; little matter if we fell out and fought as far as this American spirit and American blood is concerned, it was American blood on both sides, and we are all brothers again and the true American reigns within us, and if there is ever a call made upon 'us for a defence of our country, this same Americanism will be the first to respond to the call and show that loyalty which has always characterized it everywhere. - "But the true American citizen owes more to his country than to take care of himself and family he has a duty to his country, and to his com munity; he should be ready to help the community in which he lives, to scatter these sentiments of intelligent facing of questions, and his duty to his government should be fulfilled by do ing ail the good he can to his com munity." Referring to the adoption of prohibi tion by the people of the state, Judge Boyd said: "This is perhaps the last fruit year, at least for some time to come when you who have an abundance of fruit can manufacture this into brandy. The restrictions thrown around the manu facture of brandy are not so tight as those in the case of liquor, but I would advise those who will make brandy this fall, before the law becomes elect ive, that they are acting in a legal manner, if they have properly paid their tax, and I would Impress upon such that they are careful to obey the laws. But the venture, where tempta tion to disobey the law is usually great, may be dangerous in the end, and as good citizens I would admonish you that you warn your neighbor that be be careful in this matter if he is en gaged in the making of brandy." Judge Boyd referred to the decrease in the existence of the stillhouse, "where men of idle habits were accus tomed to gather." "Woe is brought to any community that has had such things to deal with, and this former condition is largely responsible for the present new conditions." This state has fiken a hand in the matter, and if this court has had anything to do with this condition it is a matter for congratula tion." - MR. FULLER NOMINATED. Democrats Name Durham Lawyer to Suc . ceed Solicitor Brooks. The judicial convention that assem bled in Durham Monday afternoon to nominate a successor to Solicitor A. L. Brooks was one of the most remarka ble political conventions in the history of North Carolina. After remaining in session 34 hours, with two brief inter missions for, meals, the nomination went to Mr. Jones Fuller, of Durham, and the convention adjourned about 2 o'clock this morning. It required 576 ballots to make the nomination. The other candidates for the nomina tion were Messrs. F. P. Hobgood, Jr., of Greensboro, and S. M. Gattis, of Hillsboro. The three candidates went into the convention with their strength pretty evenly divided, Mr. Hobgood having a slight lead. The nomination of Mr. Fuller was made possible by a division of Guil ford's 58 votes between Messrs. Fuller and Gattis, each receiving half of the county's strength. The vote on the last and deciding ballot stood: Fuller, 101.03; Gattis, 67.50; Hobgood, 31.47." The convention was attended by about 50, Greensboro Democrats, the majority of whom remained through out the entire proceedings. The Guil ford delegation returned on the early train this morning. The nominee of the convention is a member of the Durham bar and a young lawyer xf splendid attainments. He has represented Durham county in the legislature , and has succeeded in building up a good law practice. His friends predict for him a brilliant career as solicitor. - - V - ' COURT? SCHOOL BOARD. Monthly Meeting: Held Saturday Two Appropriations Made New Committeemen. The June meeting of the Guilford county board of education was held in the court house Saturday, all the members of the board being present. An appropriation was made to add another room to the Bessemer school building, the board to defray one half the cost, not to exceed $150, the re maining expense to be borne by the district. A" report of the. completion of the new colored school house at Collins Grove, In Friendship township, was received. All the bills for the con struction of the building were submit ted to the board, found correct and approved. ' An appropriation of $60 was made to the institute for colored teachers to be held at the Agricultural and Mechan ical College, in this city. The teachers who expect to teach in the colored schools of Guilford next term will be required to attend this institute at least two weeks. In making this appropri ation the school board saves the larger expense that would be iu cur red in holding an institute for the colored teachers of the county. John A. Groome was appointed a committeeman for the Groome special tax district. John Wright was appointed a com mitteman for the Oak Hill school, in High Point township, to succeed Jacob Newton, resigued. The question of a final settlement with Mr. John J. Nelson k the former clerk of the Superior court, was notJ discussed at this meeting, but is ex pected to come up at a special meeting next week. In this connection ft should be said that Mr. Nelson is as anxious as any member of the school board, or any one else, for that matter, to make a complete and final settlement. At the July meeting: of the board arrangements will be made for holding the county teachers' institute. It is thought the Institute will be held dur ing August. It will be conducted by County Superintendent Foust and an attractive program will be arranged. Meeting of the Eastern Star.

Clymer, sec retary of the grand chapter. The report of Grand Secretary Cly mer shows that remarkable psogress has been made by the order in the state during the paBt year. There are now forty-one chapters in the state, an increase of nineteen over the preceding year. The membership has been more than doubled during the year, there now being a membership of more than 1.000. Firemen to Hold Memorial Services.

More Than Sufficient Num ber of Votes to Give Him Nomina tion on First Ballot. The Democratic congressional con vention will meet in this city this af ternoon at 3 o'clock and name Mr. A. L. Brooks as tbev candidate for Con-, gress from .the Fifth district, Mr. Brooks having received more than a sufficient number of instructed votes to give him the nomination on the first ballot. The convention will be called to order by Mr. C. T. Willson, of vRoxtwro, chairman of the district executive committee. Y - In addition, to naming a candidate for Congress, the conventidn will nom inate a presidential elector, name xa delegate and an alternate to the na tional convention and transact any other business that may properly come before the body. The last counties in the district to hold conventions were Stokes and Surry, these counties giving Mr. Brooks more than 'the required number of votes to nominate him. He received 20.73 votes in Surry and 7.80 in Stokes. The result of the campaign is highly gratifying to Mr. Brooks ; and his friends. There has never been any reasonable doubt that he would receive the nomination, and for several weeks it has been apparent that he would get it on he first ballot. 1 Mr. J. C. Buxton, of Winston-Salem Mr. R. D. Reid, of Wentworth; Gen. B. 8. Royster, of Oxford, and Prof. J. Allen Holt, each of whom has some support for" the congressional nomina tion, arrived in the city last night and stopped at the McAdoo hotel, where they were in conference. Mr. Buxton announced yesterday morning that, since Mr. Brooks had the nomination on the first ballot, he would not permit bis name to be placed before the convention, but later he changed his mind and joined the caucus of the allied forces against Brcoks. It is not apparent what these gentlemen hope to gain by continuing the fight on Mr. Brooks and carrying it into the convention. Change in Lumber Business. Mr. H. J. Thurman has disposed of his interest in the J. S. Moore and Thurman Company, wholesale dealers in pine and hardwood lumber, fend in the future the business will be operated under the name of J. S. Moore & Co., the original style of the firm. The business will be under the personal management of Mr. J. S. Moore, and the company will carry on the same kind of business it operated before Mr. Thurman 's connection with the firm. Mr. Thurman has formed the H. J. Thurman Lumber Company, of Greens boro, and will handle dimension hard wood lumber, which line is his spe cialty. ; New Monuments at the Battle Ground. Inability to : secure competent men for the work necessitated tbe unveil ing, at the last Fourth of July celebra tion at Guilford Battle Ground, of an unsatisfactory shaft to the cavalry arm of the service that fought at Guilford Court House. However, additional dressed stones sufficient to make a handsome shaft over 30 feet high are on the ground, and work is progressing in a very satisfactory manner. Work on the pedestal for the beautiful statue of Clio is also progressing and will be completed in time for the annual cele bration next month.; - Orphanage Trustees Meet. The board of trustees of the Christian orphanage, which is located at Elon College, held a meeting at that place Friday.

D. on President L. Li. Hobbs, of Guilford College, and Prof. J. Y. Joyner, state superintend ent of public instruction.

H., writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy; It cured me of a severe case of kidney trouble of several years standing.
