True Bill Expected Against Mr. Wood Sir Walter Hotel. llaleigh. Sept. 14. It is expected that a true liill will be returned sometime to day by the Wake coutity grand jury. charging the Itev. (ieorK*1 Wood uf Kinslon with murder, or at leant manslaughter, in connec tlou with the fatal shooting of J It.

Wood, thouuh a minister, wan dcputy sherlff in l,enoir county, and mm h interested in Welfare work. If he l* indicted, as seems certain, the unusual paradox will be present ed. of a minister going to trial for the murder of u man he sought to help. ' Itev. Mr. Wood and his attor ney, John G. Dawson. Chairman of the Stale Democratic Commit tee. were In Raleigh yesterday, in lieu of the possibility that the true bill might be returned then, but it was not forthcoming. However, it is believed that the Indictment will be returned today, though it may be several days as yet. It is generally believed that So licitor W. F. Kvans. Wake county's so-called "hanging solicitor," will seek the extreme penalty, in order to make an example of Wood. His prosecution is also expected to be further embittered because ??f 1 1? ? ? controversy between himself and Coroner I?. M. Waring, as to juris diction in the matter, when War ing released Wood on his own rec jognfzance. before V'lckers died, and Kvans immediately had him re-arrested. KICIIAKI) MKKTON IS AGAIN TESTIFYING J New York, Sept. 14. ? When Richard Morton, German indus trialist, flrst arrived in America In April, 1921, to attempt to recov er assets of the American Metal* Company he knew his legal claim was weak. H?- testified to this today at the trial of Harry Daugherty and Thomas W. Miller, charged wltli conspiracy to defraud the Govern ment. Hi* legal claim was not strong h?- felt because the transfer of stock to the Sociele Suisse a ft-w day? before America entered the World War Was oral. In fin t?wer to questions concerning the late John T. Kin*?, former Repub lican national committeeman from Connecticut, he said he did not come here with the Idea of find In ix "a clever politician." Kins died shortly after he was indicted. Merlon said although he felt his case weak he also felt America had no desire to seize private prop erty without justice and sufficient cause.

Dream of Camden Leaders Made Reality Through Opening of New High School Near Courthouse I Camden. Sept. 14. -Consollda-i lion of Camden County's xrhaoh J i Into four major unit* affording' Mtf.li school educational fncllitP* ; ifor every rlilld in the county w;?:-i | crystallized into fact Monday, with the opt* n i n k of the new Camil>-n High School at Camden Court- j house. equipped to *erve the en tire Court hoti?e township. It. J. Jones. a graduate of the Cnlversity of Virginia. Ix principal of the new nrhool, which has a corps of six teacher*. two of whom i ; are in the high school depart ment. and the remainder In the grades. The building ha* Jil?' heen completed, and If* m the ill-, tra -modern one story type. hou*-j I it K ten Mpacious and attractive' classroom* and an auditorium sent-! lag 109, Bqilpped, it will kivi cost approximately 146.000, Indications on the opening day were that the ? nrnliment of III?! new school will he almul 1 >*?0 thU' year. It In taking the place of four smaller school*. two employ ing two teachers and the oth-r two. one teacher each. In tho next year or two. it la expected that the achool will In-come accrr dited, through a gradual Increase in the number of pupils In the high school department. South Mill* High Hchool a If" opened Monday for the term of. 1926-27. with Frank M Kason a i principal, It Is already an if credited high Hchool, and Shlloh lllgh School, expects to enter the accredited class this year through the merger of the high achool de partment of the Old Trap School with It. The latter school now Is devoted to primary and elemen tary grade work. Camden County now ha? only two of th? old fanhioaed type of little schools. These tre In the Burnt Mill community, near South' Mill-*, and a! Sandy |Iook, in the lower pari tlii' county.

Luke Stevens, superintendent of the Camdeu County school system. The Sandy Hook school. on the other hand, prohahly will he con solidated this term, liy sending a part of the pupils to the Camden High School, and part to Sliiloh. Mr. Stevens announces, adding that the only harrier which must he surmounted is in workiUK out a satisfactory system of transpor tation for them. This, apparently, is near solution. Except for those attending these two small school*, every hoy and girl In Camden County now Is in abled to attend school eight months each year- - a sharp con trast from the three-month's terms of a few years ago. _ CatndNi County's four hii: schools have replaced n total of 1 one-and two-teacher schools which comprised the county's ed- ' ucatlonal system some five or six years ago, outside of South Mills township. As will hp the case when the New Central 1 1 1 kH School in Pas <|uotunk County Is opened a little later in the month, the opening of Camden High School today marks completion of the consolidation In Camden County. When this la t - ter school enters the accredited class. It will mean that every hitch j school graduate in the county will l?e enabled to enter the coltegen and universities of the country without further examination. DR.

Dr. lllRlismlth told the principal*: pre kcui thai lie did not propone to eliminate Latin. hill rather to put it in lis proper place, with refer ence lo the ihmmIh of the pupil*. "What In the real purpose of hat In?" he- asked, and answered Ills own 1 1 ii cm t ion hy staling that It was lo give a* clearer insight into I he ile rival Inn of RiitfTTsli words. "We used to go to tlie Latin for much of our knowledge in medi cine," lie commented, "hut that no longer Is the case. In the SO years from 1K7S to 1!?25, w? learned more uhoiit medicine than in I he whole history of mankind up lo then." He added that the same was true, in the main, of other fields of human endeavor, dei-hii'iiiK ih.it it applied also in a measure lo literature. "For many students. Latin is a downright waste of time," lie de clared. "It has driven many nut of our high school*. though <?f course we didn't call it that. We called it 'elimination.' or hy anoth er name of jhc kind. I hope lh" last child lo he rim out of lii^h school on account of Latin has lieen rnn out already." Dr. lllghsmith explained that the proposed reorganization ap plied also to mathematics, the principal change being that geom etry was made elective in the third year of high school. Instead of a requirement for graduation. "I am unalterably opposi d to milk ing all pupils take it." he staled, vigorously. "CJeometry also has run many nut of school.
