Founders Day of State Normal.

Greensboro, N. c., Oct 13.-The
celebration of Founders Day at the
State Normal and Industrial College
yesterday was most appropriately be
gun by a most impressive and beau
tiful act, when at o'clock a process
sion of women in pure white went to
Greene Hill Cemetery and strewed
the grave of the colleges founder, the
late DR.. Charles D. McIver, with flow
cession were committees from the
faculty. the literary societies, all the
classes and the entire senior class.
At 1870 o'clock a large audience
assembled in the college auditorium,
where the formal exercises of the day
we're had. The invocation was by
Rev. j. w. Long, Of Spring Garden
Street Methodist Church, and after
appropriate songs by the college glee
club, President Foust announced that
the Board of Directors had set apart
the day, which was North Cardinals
official education day, as the date for
an annual anniversary celebration of
Founders Day for the college. Then
followed greetings from the State Uni
versity, by Prof. M. c. S. Noble, and
Prof. w. A. Withers. President Foust
then introduced as the speaker for the
occasion a man who he said, next to
members of the faculty, probably
knew and sympathized with and as
sisted DIR. McIver in his great life
work more than any other man in
North Carolina, Mr.. Josephus Daniels,
of Raleigh, ga great editor of a great
North Carolina loving newspaper"
Mr. Daniels delivered a splendid ad-
dress, clearly and eloquently analyzTng
the work which DIR. McIver wrought
for North Carolina in not only found
ing this great woman's institution, but
in compelling the State to see that the
door of opportunity which had been
closed to women in the broad sense
should be unbarred, unlocked and a
fair chance given the sisters as we'll
as the brothers for a practical educa-
tional training, as would equip her for
any duty in life He outlined the
plan upon which DR.. Mc1ver proceed
ed, showing clearly and with fine sym
pathy what had been already accom-
plished for the uplift of the whole
State by this greater chance for its
women. 1t was universally acknowl-
worthy of its subject.

A Trolley To The Coast.

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 13.-The ac-
ouision of the plant of the Blewett
Falls power development near Rock
ingham as a source of supply for
hydro-electrica1 energy with which to
operate a trolley line between Char
lottee and Wilmington is the latest re-
port in connection with the intention
of the Southern Power Company and
the mammoth interurban system,
which it is planning for the Pied
mont
In this connection it is interesting
to learn that negotiations have been
pending for some time now between
the Southern Power Company and
the Seaboard Air Line in regard to
leasing that strip of the roads lines
running between Charlotte and VIII
mington. Such a report has been
out for some weeks, but nothing de-
finite has been consummated and
nothing will probably be given out to
the result of such efforts on the part
of the Southern Power Company un-
til Mr.. w. S. Lee, chief engineer and
vice president, returns from Europe,
where he has been for some weeks,
making Investigations in regard to
another development of his concern.

AGAINST
GAMBLING:
Supreme Court Says
Contracts are
Void
INTERESTING OPINION

A very large number of opinions
were handed down yesterday by the
Supreme Court. Among the cases de-
cided are the following:
Edgerton VS.. Edeerton, Johnston Co.
No Error. Walker. j.
Judge Walker writes the opinion in
the case of Edgerton VS.. Edgerton
which arose as to the right to recover
under contract about cotton. A
parties to this suit for 100 bales of
cotton weighing $4,000 pounds, where
the plaintiffs this amount of cotton,
delivery to be made in September, Oc-
tober, November and December of this
year. The contract was in writing
and was signed on the 9th of June,
1910, and the contract specified
price of ten and one-tenth cents per
there was a stipulation that if eithel
party failed to perform the contract.
then he should forfeit and pay to the
other the sum of $500. The defend
ants refused to carry out the con-
tract and when sued for thu sum OF
$500 alleged that this was a gambling
contract, that it was not intended tha
any cotton should be actually deliver
ed, although SO stated in the contract,
but that the contract should be dis
charged by the payment of the amount
gained by the one or lost by the other,
to be determined by the rise or fal
of the market price of cotton, the
maximum amount to be paid not tc
exceed five hundred dollars.
Judge Walker in the opinion TO
the court states that the sole question
involved in this case is whether it is
a gambling contract and void, or
whether it is a valid contract under
which there may be recovery. Tt
OplHIOu states LudL Tie 10TH Ol dno
contract is not conclusive in determin
| ing its validity, when it is assailed as
beng founded upon an illegal consid-
Grafton and as having been made in
contravention of public policy. If un-
der the guise of a contract of SALE
/ the real intent of the parties is mere
l.
the price and the property is not to
be delivered, but only money is to be
paid by the party who loses in the
venture, it is gambling contract and
void. The true test of the validity of
a contract for future delivery, is
whether it can be settled only in
money and i'm no other way, or wheth-
er the party selling can tender and
compel acceptance Of the particular
commodity sold or the party buying
can compel the delivery of the com
modify purchased. The essential in
q1lify in every case is as to the neceS-
sary effect of the contract and the
real intention of the parties.
The question as to whether the par
ties actually intended to deliver the
cotton or we're merely betting on the
price of cotton and clothing their be
with a written contract was submit
ted to the jury and they found that
there was no intent on either side
court therefore held that this was es-
sentially contract OF wager and is
void without regard to the amount of
the stake, or whether the amount is
certain or uncertain. There can be
no recovery for failure to>carry out
such contract.

Nine. Cavalieri announced she had
not received any communication from
Robert Winthrop Chanler, her hus-
band, since he left Paris. Asked if
she would ever take him back, she
replied:
"That depends"
When asked to explain, she added:
Upon how he acts
Her eyes flashed with the pride of
woman who has been humiliated,
but whose spirit has not relaxed,
when she replied to the question as
to whether she would make any eff
fort to see Mr.. Chanler on her return
to New York. She said:

who makes overtures of that sort-do

Nine. Cavalieri is recovering from
a relapse resulting from surgical
operation from appendicitis, but re-

She admitted:
