JUDGE ADAMS



Senator M. w. Nash, of Hamlet,
as Solicitor to succeed Nh. Brock.
For a week or more the Gov.
ernor had been beset with dele
cations and kilograms urging the
appointment Of a number Of wor-
thy men to succeed Judge Allen
who died suddenly two weeks
ago. AT last the question mar
rowed down to Judge Adams
and Tom Warren, of Newborn.
On Monday a delegation of
forty citizens from Monroe,
| Rockingham, Hamlet, Carthage
land a few other towns, went to-
Raleigh and for two hours, from:
8 o'clock to 5 o'clock, made elo-
Iquent pleas presenting the merits
lof Judge Adams to the Governor.
| The delegation left Raleigh on
1.-THE six o'clock train feeling that
perhaps the Governor would APP
point MIR. Warren. There was
lno question in. the Governors
mind but that Judge Adams was
1.-THE most suitable man for the
position, but he felt that the
great eastern part of the State
Z should be represented on the
! Supreme>Cou Bench; and Mr..
Warren had the prepondesant
llnumber of endorsements.
When the members Of the
z Rockingham delegation, com.
: posed of w. L. Parsons, O. L
! Henry, Don Phillips, w. r. Jones
Chesley Sedberry, A. R. Nc

d Hamlet, they found a wire ad

Governor, informing him that hi
had just appointed Mr.. Adams
J and at the same time appointing
: Brock as Judge and Nash Al
e Solicitor, thus eliminating an,
d scramble that might have beef

There will be no night fair held
at the fair grounds this year, ac-

board. " T.
A night program of some kind
however, will be held in the city. The
board has not decided upon what the
evening plan will be nor to what ends

There is vague probability that
the plan for free fair attractions will
be greatly changed this year.
Secretary Gillig is also ambitious
of improving upon the attraction
schedule. The usual vaudeville free
acts during the past year or two
have not been exactly as contracted
for and Mr.. Gillig is of the opinion
that new schedule embodying new
and more appropriate features
would add greatly to the fair as an

About Seventy Cases
of Measles in Vicinity
Red Cross Nurse Visits 80 Families
Within Week-SituatiOn I'm
proved Over Week Ago

The epidemic of measles, which is
prevailing in school circles in the city
resulted in the installation of nurse
and general systematic review of
the situation last week by represent
ative of State Board of Health, has
been checked to large extent, ac-
cording to Miss Louise Ladner, COM
munity nurse, now on duty at the
school, working under the direction
Of the Sauk Centre branch of the
American Red Cross. ~
During her period of service here,
Miss. Ladner has visited 80 homes.
About one third of these are direct
ly represented in the school the bal
ance being those in which disease of
some nature is known to exist.
Of this entire number, about 70
cases of measles were reported, a
large percentage being in homes of
students who were absent from
school for no known cause.
Miss Francis Brink, of the State
Board of Health, returned to Mime
apolis last Saturday. Miss Ladner
will remain in the city for month
or six weeks, or until local condi-
tions permit her departure.
Many of the homes visited by the
nurse are in the country contributory
to the school.
eve have not covered any new
cases so far th1s week said Miss
Ladner Tuesday. "The percentage of
absent pupils in the school has been
cut down, and we feel now that we
about have the epidemic under con-
trol. We are taking every known
precaution, however, to prevent the
spread of the disease and to curtail
any other possible epidemic which
might appear in the community"
