K- Led well, negro, was sea-the business world. The merchants, he declared, are especially touched when any readjustment sets in, yet he expressed the opinion that they have borne their losses and helped others dependent upon their good will. ... Reports from-James H. Pou, at-torney for the association, J. Frank <Morrls, bead of the association in-surance department, 'Elmer Oettln-ger. of the legislative committee, and Charles H. McKnight. of the ar-bitration department, were beard Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday night the various groups of merchants met around' the ban-quet tables at the O.

The convention convened this morning and meetings will be he'.J throughout the day. The final event of the program will be held tonight. DR E. O. BROOKS ADDRESSED SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS. The hearing ot the testimony be- ;«an a week ago to-day and vast quantities of evidence have been presented to the court. The object of the contest is to force the South-ern Power Company, a producer ot electric current, to renew contracts wfth the North Carolina Public Ser-vice Company, local distributor of electric power in Greensboro and High Point. A contract existed be-tween the tiwo corporations for the period of ten years, terminating January 1, 19-21, and the Southern Power Company has refused to re-new its original contract or to agree to a continuation thereof. The question has been threshed out in the state courts and finally landed in the Federal court. Both parties to the controversy have expressed the intention of carrying the case to the Supreme court of the United States. Counsel for the Public Service Company have contended that the power company should treat the lo-cal distributing company with the same consideration accorded to other retail corporations. The South-ern Power Company, on the other hand, declares that it owes no duty to the Public Service Company, but admits its duty to the citizens ot the two cities and declares a willing-ness to provide both cities with elec-tric current. While the decision of Judge Boyd, whose opinions on weighty matters have been invariably sus-tained by the higher courts, will give temporary satisfaction to one side, the case will not rest after his decision has been rendered. The suit will be carried to the highest courts in the land and the final de-termination of the cause will be noted with interest throughout the country. Dr. E. <J. Brooks, state superin-tendent of education, delivered an interesting address Tuesday morn-ing to the students at the summer school session of North Carolina College for Women. Dr. Brooks talked to the prospective young teachers regarding the problems that would confront them and he gave timely advise from the vast store of experience that be has gain-ed. He cautioned the teachers to adapt themselves to the surround-ings of the community in which they teach and impressed Che vadue of co-operation. He also urged the culti-vation of a sense of humor, where it does not now exist. The address was concluded by an earnest appeal for the . cultivation of good-will, he d»claring that "the greatest quality in mankind is the spirit of good-will." Announcement was made yoster-day by the building committee of the Methodist Protestant Children's Home, located near 'High Point on the main highway between *hat city and Greensboro, that a modern dor-mitory will be erected in the Imme-diate future to be used for boya committed to the institution. Tks> addition to the home win cost about $50,000, one bait of which sum. baa been contributed by George Penny and J. C. Penny, ot this city. After the new building has been completed the boys will have a dor-mitory and the girls will have their dormitory, while the addition will permit an increase of 30 children to be taken at the home. Plans for the new dormitory call for a modern building, of Are proof construction and containing at least 10-bed rooms. The building committee of the home is composed ot George Penny, chairman; J. C Penny and J. M. MUTlikan. of this city: V. W. Idol and Capt. A. M. Rankin, of High Point. T. 8. EWERS DIED THURSDAY; FUNERAL HEIiD YESTERDAY.
