Better Business Conditions.
A more rapid return to better jusW
ness conditions throughout North Carolina

which has put this department of the
state government to work again after 1
many months of idleness following the
general depression which dwept over
North Carolina around Christmas,
1919. Today applications for charters
to do business in North Carolina are
coming to the secretary of state's of- I

I conditions.

J. Adams, of Carthage, to the Supreme
court bench to William J. Adams,
Jr., son of the distinguished '
jurist. Because of the intensive cam- (
paign waged by friends of the two 1
dozen "favorites" for the Supreme 1
| court vacancy, the pen itself will al
ways be an interesting gift, and the '
governor thought that Judge Adams' '
young son should have it. '
