The Broom-Boyte Lumber Comp any, of Peaehland, Is the defendant in a $10,000 civil case being heard In the Federal court at GreenBboro this week. MrJ. J. Parker Is the comp any's attorney. The plaintiff, a Mas sachusetts lumber firm, alleges failure of defendant to deliver lumber s per agreement. The defendant contends, It la said, that the railroad's refusal to furnish cars prevented the fulfil ment of It contract. Unusual Interest Is centered on the sale of the late Mrs. Margaret McMa nus' personal property, which will be held tomorrow at the Holly place, near Olive Branch. Hundreds of peo ple from all over the county, will be present. It is said, to bid on many of the old relics, such aa spinning w-C els and looms, that were made and collected by Mrs. McManus during her life-time of over 70 years. Included in the property to be offered are many of the finest double-wove blankets in the county. The sale will probably last all day. Judge V. J. Adams, and several other candidates having been elimin ated, the contest for the Supreme court bench will be between Judge Long, of Statesville, and Judge Stacey, who at one time lived near Waxhaw, his father being a mlsister. and having charge of a church In that community at that time. Judge Stacey was In college with Mr. W. B. Love. Most of the members of the Monroe bar seem Inclined to favor Stacey In preference to Long. The latter, how ever, has several warm friends in this county, and the race will probably be close. A statesville citizen has been ' in Monroe for several days working In the interest of Judge Long's cand idacv. Before the primary both can didates will probably pay their friends here a short visit. tsi.l,-lii(s mi .Monroe ami I'likm j County Lite. I In making of the high cost of liv liMK. Mr. S. S. Duulap of Jackon township, recently said: "A sheep grower in I'll um county told ine lust Fall that he had sold his wool crop at '.y cents the pound. A suit of clothes weighing four pounds contains about two pounds of wool, or one dol lar and twenty cents worth, and re tails for forty dollars. Suppose this 'wool grower had furnished the two pounds of wool the suit contains free. The suit would still be worth (38.80. How much would that benefit the con 'sur.ier, and how long would it be tin .til this sheep raiser would decide to 'eat his sheep and quit the wool busi ness? "Now let's examine cottoii goods. We are paying from thirty to sixty cents the yard for common dress ginghams. This is an average of for ay-five cents the yard, and six average yards weigh one pound. The farmer I received about thirty-five cents for the class of cotton made Into this class of goods. He pays two dollars and seventy cents a pound for it back In shape to make into a dress tor his wife, or daughter who helped him make the cotton. If we reduce the price of cotton to twenty cents per pound we would thereby reduce the cost of the six yards of ginghams fif teen cents, or two and one-half cents er yard. How long would cotton producers be able to produce at all, and how much benefit would consum ers get out of a program like that!" Hull ami Cyclone UreOlcleil. (From the Vorkville Enquirer.) "I don't know whether you ever heard of him or not." said yesterday !a former Anderson county man who now lives in York, county, "but we have living In Anderson county a weather prophet whom we call "Fes sor Hicks.' who has quite a reputation as a weather prognostlentor.

"Thunder storms, hail storms, rain and wind will play havoc In An derson county. Thousands of people will be killed by lightning along, and .livestock by tho score will be killed.

Brock has with drawn from the congressional rare, and Hon. W. C. Hummer will be de clared the Democratic nominee. In a statement issued yesterday, the Wadesboro man said: "I have derided not to enter the second primary as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Con gress from this district. To my friends throughout the district who stood so loyally by me iu the primary June 5th and voted for me, I wish to say that I am deeply grateful to you and thank each one most sincere ly. I hope that the opportunity may some time come so that I may render some service that will Justify the confidence expressed by your votes. My campaign has been conducted by those in charge on a high plane and we therefore have no regrets. "I hope that every Democrat will make It his business to see that the majority In the November election Is the greatVst ever recorded In the his tory of our party in this State, for I am convinced as a result of past history that the richest benefits to be derived from the administration of our Government must come through the instrumentality of the Democratic party,." Mr. Hammer liad such a lead over him that Mr. Brock. It Is said, be lieved it would be almost Impossible to overcome. The Randolph county man had a plurality of nearly two thousand votes.

Trifling With Eiliiintiuu. (From N. C. News Letter.) The United States was founded by people who were thoroughly con vinced of the absolute importance ol an educated citizenship as a basu for a permanent democracy. If you are going to have n govern ment by the people as well a-.,for the people and of the people you must take measures to develop a kind or people who are capable of governing. K the people of America are to lake over the business of kings iuto their own hands they must all he kings. They must not only know how .to govern themselves, but they must learn the technique of government and also acquire the tasie too govern ment. Along with citizenship and culture must go the will for politics, the will ingness to asssum the responsibni tles of politics and the training nec essary thereto. A,fter a hundred and firry years of struggle agslnst the lne:a of tradi tion we are- recognizing the citizen ship of ths woman. And It hi of vital Importance that the tduca'eJ woman should be prepared to assume that citizenship.. Although, wo have always toasted of our educational facilities, we have nevertheless only been trifling with education. There is no. doubt that the teachers of our country are un derpaid, and that it we Continue our present policy this teaching force, Is going to deteriorate more rapidly.' You eannot defy natural forces, and it t natural for ths more capa ble' people to seek those avenues of employment thst bring the' most re muneration and give the most oppor tunity for liberal culture. . Dr. William Allen Nellseo. presi dent of Smith's College, says: "W are facing the annihilation of s pro fession." Teaching does not psy. Other pro fessions do. The college graduate Is entering the Industrial and commer cial fields. They become department managers or go into business for themselves; they tske up chemistry and dietetics; they write or edit. A New York professor writes: Most of the young men now coming Into the teaching ranks are mediocre. Otherwise they' would not be here. There is too much demand for them elsewhere. The world Is being re built and they are wanted. The uni versities can not get them. In view of all this it Is difficult to conceive of a more pressing obli gation upon our people than of worth ily endowing and supporting their In stitutions of learning. Something In A Name. (From the Detroit Free Press.) At one time Rudyard Kipling al ways paid his bills, no matter how small they happened to be, with checks. After a while he discovered to his amazement that his bank ac count showed a much larger balance than the stubs of his checkbook war ranted. In fact, while he was draw ing checks for small amount, his money In the bank did not seem to dwindle In the least. For a long time he was at a loss to account for this astonishing fact until one day he happened to visit an office, the occupant of which was an enthusiastic autograph collector. There the author saw one of his own checks, framed and hanging on the wall. .Thus the mystery was solved. It appeared that the tocal shopkeepers found that they could often get more for Kipling's checks by selling them to the autograph hunters than they could by cashing them at the bank, and so although the author kept on drawing checks, his bank balance re mained almost Intact. h:,0 PER YEAR CASH A .
