able to measure up with the niches',
requirements of the position, one who
is endowed with the virtue of cood
common sense and qualitiod by study
and evperier.ee to preside with fair
ness, dignity, and usefulness over tri
bunals where the person, the char
acter and the property of people are
at stake. While Mr. Stack has all
the requirements of knowlod-.ro and
experience in the law and the prac

solely to the dry aspect of the law.
but has kept in touch w-'th many
phases and interests of ! t'e whereby
he has strengthened hi knowlodce
and broadened his synipa.hies.

STANLY WHEAT
In the old days before the farmers
of Stanly county had access to rail
roads and commercial fertilizers they
were preat wheat growers. A clip
ping published elsewhere shows that
a Stanly county farmer once w.m a
world's prize on wheat sent to tha
Paris exposition. We don't know
what the farmers of our neighboring
county are now doing in the matter
of wheat growing, but it would be
eafe to gtuss that thero is not suffici
ent interest in it there now to stimu
late a farmer to even think nf -end-in?
a sample of wheat to a fair.

some change in climatic con litions
