Residents of Church street are mak-ing

permanent improvement will now suf-lice
to keep it in good condition the
year round.

Gone to Their Reward.
Two of Guilford county's oldest and
noblest women have passed from this
world of care to the eternal reward of
God's anointed within the past few
days and their homes are hushed with
a stillness that comes only with the
Death angel's visit. They were Mrs.
Caroline A. Young, ofGilmer township,
and Mrs. Alethea Knight, of Friend-ship
township.
Mrs. Young was the youngest of the
nine children of John and Annie
Haimer, and was eighty years of age
last July. She died Sunday evening
at the residence of her only surviving
son, Mr. John A. Young, just east of
this city. She was a woman of re-markable
energy and capability, as
evidenced by the fact that during the
war between the states she managed
her home plantation and provided for
the comfort of her children and ser-vants
unaided while her husband
spent four years in striving for the
cause he thought was right. His
death occurred a few months after the
surrender. Until recent months Mrs.
Young enjoyed fairly good health, and
Dr. Biggs Case Betore the Supreme Court.
A test case of great interest was
argued yesterday in the Supreme court.
It is that of the State vs. Higgs, from
Guilford, to test the constitutionality
of the law passed by the last legislature
defining the practice of medicine and
surgery, ami requiring osteopathists to
be examined before the State Board of
Medical Examiners on subjects touch-ing
their science before being licensed
to practice.
The defendant in this case, A. C.
Higgs, practiced iu Greeusboro behind
the sign ofa "Non-Medical Physician,"
a "Life System of Drugless Healing."
He was indicted for practicing medi-cine
and surgery without having ob-tained
license from the State Board of
Medical Examiners, and the state ob-tained
judgment in the lower court.
Dr. Uiggs appealed to the Supreme
court, claiming that the law is uncon-stitutional
iu that ifr discriminates
against the osteopathist and in favor of
the regular school of medicine. He
coutends that the osteopaths should be
represented on the State Board.
The state contends that the statute
