THS HOT WAVE.
With the cool and reasonable seas
onable weather continuing for more
than a week, and with the last fort
night in August at hand'if September
with that perversity of inaimate
things that so often lead the weather
to turn the month topsy-turvy.should
have a few hot spells of its own, it is
clear that 1916 has been far from
representing the hot-summer type of
climate. We have had a few hot
days on the Atlantic littoral, but
there have been no occasions when
the consecutive number of such ran
over three.1 The true hot wave only
after the third day, when the persis
tent high temperatures continue for
a week or more .without a break,
which duration constitutes the dif
ference between mere interrupted
hot spells and the killing hotwave
type of summer, 1896 and 1901 be
ing particular cases in point. For this
we can be thankful.

MAY GO TO SUPREME COURT.
Indications Are iuat Gooch Case
Will Be Appealed.
STEM The tangled antenuptial
will of the late Wayne Gooch, the
wealthy Clarksville distiller, whose
honeymoon trip and suicidal fate
were mixed in the tragic proportions
has assumed fresh aspects and the
contested contract now goes to the
Circuit court of Appeals of the Uni
ted States, with five judges sitting,
one United States Supreme judge,
and will probably go to the supreme
tribunal of the land. Joseph H.
Gooch, prominently indentified citi
zen of Granville county, and brother
of Wayne Gooch, is in receipt of a
letter from Richmond councel for
Mrs. Annie Wayne Suhor, daughter
of Mr. Gooch in which notice of ap
peal is suggested.
The preliminary victory of Miss
Margaret Radciff, of Lexington, who
as wife of Mr. Gooch for a few weeks
wants onethird of his $250,00 es
tate, is responsible for the endless
litigation promised.
S. S. P. Patterson, of Richmond,
the chief councel for the married
daughter of Wayne Gooch, has called
in associate councels and the letter
to Joseph H.-Gooch states that no
stone will be left unturned in fight
ing for a favorable verdict. Harry
M. Smith, the Richmond criminal
lawyer who won his spurs in the cel
ebated Beattie trial, has been re
tained to offset the multiple councel
employed by Mrs. Margaret Radcliff
Gooch,

Getting Tanlac
Tanlac has restored health and
happiness to Mrs. J. W. Moore, Jr.,
wife of one of Greensboro's influen
tial business men, after she had suf
fered for four years and paid out
$165 for doctors and medicinal treat
ments. Mrs. Moore, Jr., says:
"Mr. Moore advised me to take
Tanlac after learning of the great
good this wonderful tonic is doing
and upon realization that doctors and
other medicines, for which we ex
pended $165 in four years, failed to
bring the desired results.
