TIIE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady at Decline of 5 to 18
Points. July Declining From 23.40 to
23.30.
New York, June 2;>.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady today at decline of five
to 18 points under selling influenced by
lower Liverpool cables, reports of bene
ficial showers in the South, and esti
mates placing July notices at approxi
mately 100.000 bales.
Ater selling at 23.40 at the start. July
eased off to 23 :30 but spot houses seemed
to be buying July contracts at about the
price AM October, or a shade under, and
the market held fairly steady during the
first hour within a few points of yes
terday’s quotations.
The relatively easy ruling of July in
New Orleans had a rather unsettling ef
fect on sentiment, but evidently there
was a disposition to cover short contracts
before the end-Juhe crop and condition
figures.
Cotton futures opened steady: July
23.3a: October 23.38; December 23.0 ft:
January 23.00; March 23.30.
NEWSPAPER COMICS GOOD
FOR NERVES. SAYS DOCTOR
Neurasthenics Urged to I.ook on the
Funny Side of Life. Comic Strips
Healthful.
New York, June 24. —Read the news
paper comic sections, cultivate a taste
for good stories and look on the humor
ous- side of life'if you would be healthy,
was the advice given today by Dr.
Frederick TV. Seward, neurologist of
Goshen, X. Y., at the 81st annual con
vention of the American Institute of
Homeopathy.
“People whose ire is easily aroused,
who fly into rage on the slightest pro
vocation, are candidates for nerve ex
haustion and brain fag.” Dr. Seward
said. “A calm, even temperament is an
invaluable health asset.
“I advise neurasthenics to look for
the funny side of life. The liberal
sprinkling of our newspapers with
comic strips is a decidedly beneficial
thing, from a health standpoint.’
Personality is largely a matter of in
heritance. Dr. Seward .asserted. NA e
are largely under the influence of our in
herited ductless glands.” he said. "But
what we are and what we become de
pends greatly upon ourselves- W e owe
much to the coming generations. The
gains we make in health, strength and
mental efficiency are a priceless heritage
to succeeding generations.’

CONCORD. N. C„ THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1925
Speech of Judge W. P. Stacy
Before the Judicial Conference
Raleigh. June 25. —“The real strength
and power of the courts must rest ulti
mately upon the faitli and confidence of
the people.” Thief Justice Stacy presid
ing. told the Judicial Conference, at its
first sitting, in the Supreme Court room,
j today. The conference, composed of the
judiciary, the attorney general and twen
ty attorneys appointed by the governor,
was created by the 1025 General
*embly, at the request of Governor Mc-
Lean. Today’s session began at 10
° clock. At -> o'clock this afternoon the
members will attend a memorial to the
late Judge Henry G. Connor, of the
United States district court, to be held
in the federal ccmi’t room.
“The three departments of government
in this country draw their life blood from
the same source.” continued ihe chief
justice, in his address outlining the pur
poses of the conference. “They are
separate and distinct, it is true, yet each
serves as a check and auxiliary to the
others.
“This, body of men. composed of the,
justices of the Supreme Court, the judges j
of the Superior Courts, the attorney gen- 1
eral and one practicing attorney from
each of the judicial districts of the state:
has been called together, under authority •
of an act of the legislature, charging us '
with the duty of studying the organiza-i
tion. rules and methods of practice and ,
procedure of the judicial system of the,
state of North Carolina; and it is the
expressed desire of the legislative depart
ment that we recommend such changes
and reforms in the system and in the ■
practice and procedure of the courts as j
in our judgment may be needful and j
proper.
“The reason for the establishment of j
such a conference is obvious.” continued j
the chief justice. “Ours i« a govern- j
ment of laws and not of men. In this 1
eouutry the law is supreme and it must 1
be obeyed. Rights created by law can
legally be enforced only by an appeal to
the law. and for every right there must
be, not only a remedy, but an adequate
remedy, or for every wrong there must
be a complete redress.
“Under such a polity, the courts are
necessarily charged with the task of ad
judicating the right* of litigants, or judg
ing and expounding the constitution and
the laws which have been, or may be,
made in pursuance thereof; ami it is es
sential that this should be done speedily.
r at least, not so tardily as to render
just judgment* unjust. The establish
ment of justice is the end of all govern
ment. In short, it ia the end of all
civil society. It has never been and
never will be pur*ued by men until it
is attained, or imtil is lost in
the pursuit. Our prosefit task is a part
of that pursuit. And the judiciary is
particularly interested in the quest for |
truth.
“But with the detailed machinery of]
rhe courts, controlled almost exclusively
by the legislative branch of the govern
ment. the trial judges have often found
themselves bound by inflexible and. more
or less, unrelenting statutes, enacted by
niecemeal, and which sometimes make for
delay, amounting in many instances to
a. denial of justice, rather than for rea
sonable dispatch of business. As a re
sult, the court* have been charged with
ibcompetenc.v and lawyers with indif
ference, if not insincerity, regarding a
condition which they did they not wholly
create and which, up to the present, they
have been unable to alter. Appreciat
ing the fact that, if the bench and bar

lay mind, they should be allowed to sug
gest at least the necessary remedies to
cure the defects, the legislature has pro
vided for this conference, and its co
operation and assistance are not only in
; vited but they are earnestly desired.
) AA’liat is wanted i* not impatient criti
! oism, of which much has been given in
the past, but competent advice. The leg
-1 islature is seeking to better and to ren
der more efficient administration of jus
tice in the state.
“The real strength and power of the
courts must rest ultimately upon the
faith and confidence of the people. The
three departments of government in this
country draw their life blood from the
same source. They are separate and dis
tinct. it is true, yet each serves as a
check and auxiliary to the others. They
are servants of a common master, work
ing in a common business, striving for
a common end. I think it may be safe
ly said in this learned presence that no
institution, ever yet devised, can sustain
its authority over a free and thoughtful
people unless it merit their respect and
confidence. Hampered as we may be
by the restrictions of certain statutes
which at times seem to tangle justice in
the net of form, still the responsibility
is ours to merit and retain the respect
of the people at large. No man can
measure the debt of the county to it*
courts. On the other hand, who dares
to 1 measure the obligation and duty of
the bench and bar to a patient and pa
triotic people in seeing to it that their
faith and confidence are justified and sus
tained? This is not a duty which we
OAve to ourselves as much as it io a
debt which the bench and bar owe the
state and nation, over and above the ob
ligations of citizenship, by virtule of their
high calling, and by reason, of their op
portunity to look ‘beyond the vision of
battling races and an impoverished earth
and catch a dreaming glimpse of peace,’
to borrow an expressive phrase from Mr.
Justice Holmes. Faith, respect and con
fidence constitute the trinity upon which
the enduring strength of the courst must
be planted and sustained.”
Judge Stacy declared that “it is the
work of the trial courts to settle liti
gation ; it is the task of the appellate
courts to settle the law; it is the busi
ness of all to move with reasonable dis
patch, that justice may not be denied
by delay. And I pause to make this
pertinent observation about the admin
istration of the courts: AA'hen parties re
sort to the judiciary for the settlement
of their disputes, they are invoking a
public agency, and they should not for
get that rules of procedure are necessary
and must be observed, in order that the
courts may properly discharge their du
ties. And while the adjective law i*
not to be enforced harshly or oppressive
ly, but rather in a spirit of liberality,
to the end that justice may be adminis
tered in all cases, yet this does not mean
that the court* should apply the rules
of practice in such a manner as to favor
the negligent and at the same time penal
ize the diligent party.
“Quite a number of recommendations
have already been suggested for consi
eration, and others will readily occur
as we progress with our deliberation*.
But as to whether they shall be taken
up in the first instance by the whole
conference or referred to commmittees to
be considered by them and reported back,
I leave to your decision. The question
of organization and the procedure of the
conference itself is the first matter for
consideration. I now declare the con
ference open for the transaction of busi
ness.”

STEEL AND CONCRETE IN
ERECTING SMALL HOUSES
Offer Distinct Opportunities in Home
Building, Says Expert.
Detroit, Mich., June 25. —Steel and j
concrete, generally associated with sky- i
scrapers and office structures, have en- j
tered the realm of possibility as build- 1
ing materials in the construction of small I
homes and should be given considera- i
tion, said Henry R. Brigham, of Boston, 1
speaking today before the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards in con- j
vention here.
“One of our national handicaps in new
inventions is to get away from prece
dent,” he declared. “Architects and
builders cling to old designs and find it
difficult to use unfamiliar designs re
quired for new materials. Concrete and
steel offer distinct opportunities in home
building, both in design and attractive
ness.” i
Declaring ft fs false econOrtfy so pro
duce' shoddy houses or houses of poorer
construction than appears on the sur
face, unless for some recognized tem
porary use, Mr. Brigham said:
“It is far better to have the floor
joists unnecessarily braced and unneces
sarily large than to have the floors sag.
the walls and ceilings crack and the
doors jam after two or three years. The
builder may have sold his house and ob
tained his profit, but the purchaser finds
that his house is not so good as it looked
and the reputation of its builder, and of
builders in general, is injured. Although
such injuries are so insidious that build
ers may not be conscious of the extent,
nevertheless each injury of this kind
makes it harder to sell the next house at
a profit.”
SHEPHERD CASE TO GO
TO THE JURY TONIGHT
Probable That Arguments Wifi Be Con

Chicago, June 25.—The Shepherd mur
der trial probably will be concluded with
the session tonight, Judge T. J. Lynch
and lawyers of both sides tentatively
agreeing to such a recess session in
chambers.
Stewart today continued his plea in be
half of Wm. I). Shepherd. Taking up the
manner of the making of the) will of
Billie McClintoek, foster son whom Shep
herd is accused of having used typhoid
germs to murder, the attorney cited that
as a point iii the defendant’s favor.
“If he had been nursing the boy along
to slay him, wouldn’t he have gotten
someone else to draw the will?” asked
Stewart. ~“That is one of the points he
is going to have to explain in the probate
court in the will fight. He must face it.
But if he had been trying to prepare an
alibi, would not be have had someone
else to draw the will so as to cast sus
picion from him?”
Stewart took up the testimony of the
many witnesses in the trial and analyzed
it from h< : s viewpoint.
