BIRMINGHAM. Ala. July 15.-Chairman
William Vaughan, of the state Republican
executive committee, says that the Repub-
licans viii put out full state ticket. This
action has been anticipated and the Off

will probably make it lively in one or two
of the congressional districts. The indi-
cations are for an exceptionally hot fight
in the seventh district, represented by
Congressman Burnett.

Especial to News and Observer

Rockingham, N. c., May 27.-The nomi-
nation of Judge Neal and Solicitor Rob-
inson here tomorrow is a foregone con-
clusion. Mr.. Robinson has no opposition.
Judge Neal has about los votes instruct
ed for him in Chatham, Moore, Scotland
and Anson. This is within about three
votes of the nomination and Robinson
county is uninstructed with every Demo-
crat in the county a delegate to the con-
vention. There has been quite a dispo-
sition here to resent the treatment of
Richmond S candidate for Congress by
Judge Meals county, but Mr.. Morrison
has been satisfied that the small vote
given him by Scotland county was not
due to Judge Meals influence, and it can
be stated with reasonable certainty that
he will receive about the proportion of
Richmond's votes that Scotland county
gave Mr.. Morrison, which will, according
to reports of instructions in other coun-
ties insure his nomination by a small
majority.

inclined to regard commercialism as
such a great curse, but the scholar is
inclined to look upon it thus. He is in
clined to make determinations against
it. There is perhaps, as may appear
later, large ground for justification of
such application, and the problem be-
setting the scholar is one that may be
properly called perplexing. The situation
today is one which we might say is
without parallel. We are very apt to say
that the age in which we live is by all
means an unparalleled age. We incline
to make each age a miracle, and this one
is as yet unclassified. But if one were to
stand upon the ruins of Athens, Rome or
elsewhere along the basin of the Medi-
terranean, and recall what these re-
mains should recall, he will be convinced
that all ages have had the same prob
lem; they have all been confronted with
the question of commercialism.
Speaking of the dangers that beset
scholarship, he said: Another danger
which besets scholarship is a develop
ment of what l may call the spirit of a
hustler if you will excuse the use of
slang.
There is today in the scholarly life
a constant danger of mistaking activity
for scholarship, to mistake the writing
of a book and the writing of a paper for
genuine learning. The spirit of the
hustler is inconsistent with the spirit
of the investigator, because the man
who is in a hurry is worthless as a man
of judgment.
81 mean to say that the life of a scholar
is not the life of a millionaire his life
must be simple, in order that he may
see simply, that he may think simply,
that he may investigate simply The
love of things which in themselves are
true and beautiful and of good report,
whole-s -souled devotion to truth and
reality must be the great characteristic
of the scholars life. The scholar is not
the producer of material wealth, al
though he may be producing which is as
valuable to mankind as material wealth,
but unfortunately we have to have some
thing of the material wealth to keep the
immaterial wealth at work. SO it is that
commercial wealth keeps scholarly
wealth up. Activity in one branch brings
activity in another. There is no age
al all comparable with ours. CONNER
cially there is none, certainly no age, ex-
cept that of Christ. which is comparable
Intellectually.

Washington, d. c., May 27.-The con-
ference committees of the two Houses on
the Omnibus Public Building Bill have
agreed on their report The report gives
$61, $50 for enlargement and repairs of
the building at Greensboro; $4,000 for
a building at Durham; $35, 900 for a
building at Goldsboro; $4,000 additional
($120,000 in alb for building at Eliza
beth City. The Treasury Department
may select another site in Elizabeth City
provided it can be secured in exchange
for the lot now owned by the Govern
ment. The Senate amendment appro-
priating $135, 900 to purchase the Forsyth
court house at Winston and S25, 900 for
alterations was not agreed to and
Winston will have to wait for her pub
lie building
Senator Simmons and Representative
kitchin, especially have worked hard for
the Winston bill, and the conference re-
port as to Winston is quite disappoint-
ment to them, although they are pleased
with the other North Carolina items.
4 Representative Blackburn, in whose
district Winston is situated, opposed the
appropriation for that town. This is
probably the only case on record where
an American representative ever opposed
an appropriation for his own district.
His opposition gave the Republican mem
bers of the House Conference Committee
an excuse not to agree to the appropria
tIon. Had he heartily supported it,
thefe IS little reason to doubt that the
appropriation for Winston would have
been made. All in all. the State has

all that the engineer said could now ha
used. This commits the Government to

mate expenditure of more than 81 900 000
