Pauline "Midgeti, four years old" daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Midgett, was in stantly killed at the home of her par ents near Camden court house, four miles from here during a severe ele ctrical storm. The tragedy occurred at 3:30 when the child and Williani Games, a neigh bor's eight year old son, were playing in the back yard. The two had run under the i shelter of a small milk house at 'the time but the boy was only-stunned by, the stroke. He. had recovered consciousness when a phy sician, hurriedly summond from Elizabeth City had reached the scene. The storm, a local thunderstorm, accompanied by heavy rainfall and high wind, .'descended upon this city this afternoon .with little warning.

"But, alas, my pleasant recollections are obscured by pictures of a gloomier hue. The bulk of the, nation the -gentry and landed middle-class could not keep abreast of the feverish econonmic struggle and consequently fell back. Clinggingto the traditions of a long semi-feudal past they neglected trade and commerce and were ill-fitted for the exigencies of1 modern public and intellectual life Their footing thus lost has since been occupied by the Jews; hence the expansion of their in fluence, for which they cn harjy be blamed. "Our gigantic struggle during the last decades has yet another dark side. . We became but lately aware of social life not merely production and consumption!, but much more a just distribution of goods produced and that a social legislation has to keep watch and eliminate the bad conse quences of free competition as well as check the tyranny of the rich.

Former Presi dent William Howard Taft was-nominated yesterday by President Harding to be Chief Justice of the United States and his nomination was con firmed by the Senate in executive session. The nomination was not confirmed without opposition, however, and a roll call was demanded. The opposition was understood to have been voiced by Senators Borah, Idaho, Johnson, California, and LaFollette, Wiscon sin, all Republicans, . who were said to' have criticised Mr. Taft's record and his nomination. On roll call, however, only four votes were cast against confirmation. These were by Senators Borah, John son and LaFollette, and Senator Wat son, Democrat. Georgia. .' The final vote was 60 to 4. An agreement was reached not to make a public roll call. The Senate's doors were closed for discussion of the nomination after suggestion that Mr. Taft be confirmed in "open executive" session because he is a former President .had been rejected by his opponents. Senators Borah and Johnson Jed the tight on the floor in opposition: to Mr." Taft, while he was. defended by ahdut sL dozen, Senators, .including Knox, of Pennsylvania,' Kellogg, of Minnesota, and Willis, of Ohio, Republicans, ahd Underwood, of Alabama , minority' leader; Smith -."of V South'."

D AS"6HIEF JUSTICE Senators Borah and Johnson were un derstood to have centered their fight on Mr. Taft's training,;; experience and qualifications. According to re ports filtering out from the Senate chamber Senator. Johnson, was said to havedeclared that Mr. Taft's ap- . pointment was "purely political." A i similar charge, it was reported, was made by Senator Borahi , Senator Johnson, it was stated, as serted that Mr. Taft had not regarded himself as a lawyer, but as a poli tician and had "abandoned" his pro fession afterleaYipg.the White House, Th(B?def ense of 'Mritffe.ifc'Was Said, was led by Democrats. Senator Un derwood said that -Mr. Taft, had made j himself "beloved by the South," ad ding that this 'Sentiment . was due largely . to ' Mr. Taf 'ts appointment, when President, of a Southerner, the late Chief Justice White, to the high est judicial position of thKjcountry. Similar statements, it was reported were made by Senator Broussard, of Louisiana, the native state of the late Chief Justice. Mr. Taft's legal learning was prais-. ed, it was said, by Senators Knox and Willis, the latter referring to his ex periehce on the bench of Ohio; - Senator Kellogg, it was. said, re ferred to the. positions; of, honor held by MTr. Taft in bar and similar as-: sociations. ? : i Soouthern Senators, it wareported, with the exception of Mr Watson of CJeorgiawere- solidly behind the ap- pointment. ! : DICTATION HIGHER COLLEGE CAUS Bringing on Such Gigantic .At tempts at Educational Legis lation Test Democracy. Des Moines, la., July 1. The dicta tion of higher institutions of learning is bringing on such gigantic attempts at educational legislation as to test democracy to the limit, Homer H. ' Seerley, of Cedar Falls, Iapresident of the National Council of Education, told the council here today. His theme was "The Struggle for Power in American Educational Systems." "The present period in education in this country .is noted for huge en deavors' to raise immense sums of money hy gifts, by taxes, and by advance in tuition in order to possess buildings, equipments, and variety of instruction far beyond any former un dertakings," Mr. Seerley said. "The struggle going on in American Democracy is leading to. classified citizenship organizations attempting to dictate class instruction, class con ditions and class opinions as to the purpose and the aims of education. "The institutions of higher learning are assuming to dictate everything' regarding the recognition of what is standard and acceptable in public education and thus seek to dominate and control public policies,- public ideals, and public efforts. ?This is so prominent that the at tempts to meet this demand are in creasing public expense to an un precedented degree and are-alarming the managers of public elementary and secondary .education because' they are 1 disturbed jn the public .servi both as to tenure and salary. , j . "The egislation that is being tempted, national and sate, for the, regulationfinancing and direction of education is so "gigantic yand so far reaching in character, 1ax seeking-inspection dictation and .ntralization, and involves such important consid eration as to power and control, that every thoughtful person must realize that democracy & being tested to the limit" GOLD DISPLACED Prospects Are Leaving Daily for Scene of Reported Rich Min-. eral Strike, Said.

Gold fever has temporarily displaced excitement here incident to the rush to the oil fields, and prospectors are leaving; da ily for the scene of the; reported". rich mineral strike.'
