THE Charlotte Observer in its
editorial columns on Monday had
the following very fine appraise-
ment of Judge Walter E. Brock,
who was defeated in the June
Bird primary for denomination by
! the close vote of around 285
majority, Mr.. A. M. Stack, of
Monroe ian equally splendid
gentlemen, barely nosing him
out:
Judge Waiter E.sBrock is not can.
didate for any Office and is seeking no
political emoluments. so one may now
speak a word personal with no danger Of
his being accused of the Interior motive.
Since his appearance on the bench OF
this State Judge Brock has established a
record that does him proud. He not only
gave promise Of taking place among the
eminent jurist of the State-he actually
took the position. The impression he
made in Winston Salem is on parallel
with the impression he has made on the
people wherever he has held a court
Speaking for Winston Salem, The Journa
says that citizens who like to see prompt
and efficient dispatch of business, and
appreciate an atmosphere in the court
room that is highly conductive to respect
for law and the authorities charged witt
its enforcement, must deeply regret that
Judge Brock is to retire i.om office at the
close of the present year.
The State" says The Journal, needs
more such Superior Court judges. If all
of them pushed the work along at the
rate Judge Brock has been pushing il
here during the present term, dockets
would not be half so crowded in the
larger counties. He threw the court
machine into high gear the day he ar
rived and has kept it there all day and al
times into the night. AS result, heavy
inroad is being made into the greatly
overcrowded docket in Forsyth"
| 1t is recalled that when Judge Brock
first went out on his circuit, it became
the custom of local bars to pass resolu'
tons in commentator of his manner Of
transacting the business of the court
and in the volume of these commeDda
tons, Judge Brock holds distinction
which is unique in the history of the bar
in North Carolina. Judge Brock was
permitted to serve just long enough on
the bench to plant the conviction in the
minds of the people that in his case, at
least, first-class judicial timber had been
selected"

The pop, pop, pop of light ar.

her husband and another colored
woman, Lula Stanback. When
the fireworks started, Lula van.
ished, and Harley Rice tried to.
He headed down Lawrence street,
thence down Greene and on to
his home, with his wife running
after him and Fastening his pace
with an occasional burst Of fire,
Arriving at their home, the
shooting ceased. It was no doubt
a friendly, wifely method of
bringing ones husband home
ward.
She was brought before the

bound her to Sept. 25th term Of

P. T. A. CLASS MEET
HARDING SCHOOL
PLAN COURSE

The study class of the 2. T. 4. held
its first meeting Wednesday morning
Mt the Harding school and planned for
the continuation of the reading course
which was so successfully carried on
last year. As the attendance was not
up to the usual, it was decided to hold
over the book review to have been
given by Mrs. A. f. Schultz until the
next meeting which will be held on
Wednesday morning, November s.
All mothers are eligiofe to member
ship in this class which devotes itself
exclusively to child study, following a
course of reading outlined by the
Children 5 Bureau of the national gov
ernment.
Last season a number of the mothers
of children took the course, some
working for the diploma to be award
ed on its completion and others at
tending the classes solely for the help
they got out of it in dealing with
their own children. All found the
short time spent in this way well
worth while.

ENGINEER STARTS
WORK ON new R. R.
TO MEXICAN PORT
Building of Line Now Sure,
Officials Declare; Seek
Builders

CAI.EXICO, Oct 25.-The work of
making the final and preliminary sur
vevs establishing the route of the pro
posed Mexicali-San Felipe branch of
the Southern Pacific is going forward,
and Southern Pacific Engineer Isaacs
and his crew of assistants are now To-
Gated at the southern end of the route,
pushing the work with all possible
speed under instruction from Southern
Pacific headquarters.
The work of Mr.. lsaacs and his
crew is the actual beginning of the
work of constructing the road; grad
ing, tie and steel laying will follow
in order
That the road will be built is GER
tain, information to that effect com
ing in the last few days from most re-
liable sources.
Already grading contractors have
been approached. They are asking
about their ability to supply necessary
teams and tools to carry ON the work
of grading, and instructions have been
issued that Mr.. Isaacs push eonstruc
tion work with all possible haste.
For the last three or four months
the Santa Fe, Rock Island and South
the matter, surveys and inspections
have been undertaken and concluded,
and the rivalry of the three companies
was keen. About 10 days ago, how
ever, the matter was definitely settled,
and the Southern Pacific decided to
end the negotiations by securing the
necessary permits from the Mexican
government, right-of-ways, and such
necessary assurances required permit
ting them to build the road.
These papers have been secured,
and work is actually under way.
In Calexieo a great many people are
still skeptical, and refuse to accept the
news that this line will be built as
fact, and arguments pro and con are
advanced on all sides.
This morning, however, news of the
certainty of the building of hits rail
way line comes from San Diego and
Arizona railway officials, who state
that the report of the building of the
road is correct, and that orders for
supplies and equipment are being given
steel mills and lumber companies for
rails and ties, as well as arranging for
grading of the. road bed.
