She is bright, attractive, and conscien tious, and will be a power in North Carolina for the State's better and higher development of citizenship standards. Mr. J. E. Kanipe, who last week graduated from Trinity College, is one of McDowell County's most promising young men. Few men at college take as high stand in college life as Mr. Kanipe has at Trinity. He has been a prominent member bf all the college organi zations, and very popular indeed with students and faculty. He has contributed to the social life of the college, as well as being active in its literary pursuits; but his most attractive record perhaps is his record as an athelete, where he has won fame over the southern states for his brilliant work on the base ball diamond and on the track team. Mr. Kanipe will cast his lot, no doubt, for the teaching profession, he having taught a number of schools in McDowell County, and has that energy and tact that will make for him a reputation what ever he may do or wherever he may work. These and others of McDowell's oys and srirls are making a name for McDowell County throughout ant Garden" on last Friday after noon.

Governor Locke Craig, who is now a guest at Battery Park hotel, received a telegram l&st night from former United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey announcing that the United States supreme court has handed down a decision in fa vor of the plaintiffs in the case of Pless and Winborno against Mc Donald, which was tried hero in a hotly contested suit beforo Judge J. E. Boyd of the Federal District court, about four years ago. Governor Craig appeared for the plaintiffs and Martin, Rollins and Wright appeared for the defendant Tbe issue in the case was an attor ney fee, which Pless and Winborno of Marion, one of the leaaing law firms of Western North Carolina, were trying to collect. The defendant set up a plea that the verdict in the case in which he was represented by the plaintiffs was arrived at in an improper way. He alleged that each juryman put down what he thought the verdict should be and tho aggregate was then divided by twelve. To provo the foregoing, counsel for the de iendant had one or ine iurymrn called to the stand and asked him in what way the jury arrived at its verdict. Objection was made by the plaintiffs' counsel that this was an incompetent question, as a jury could not be permitted to impeach its own verdict. Tho counsel for the plaintiffs was upheld in the ob jection and the full amount of tho fee demanded. $2,940, was allowed in tho verdict against the defendant. The defendant appealed to the circuit court of appeals at Rich mond on the ground that the ques tion asked the juryman was per mitted by the authorities under the rules of evidence, and on ap peal the plaintiffs were represented by A. Hall Johnston, as Mr. Craig had been elected governor.
