IMPROVE OUR OWN SEED.

On the fourth page Of this issue will
be seen an article headed "Boll Weevll
Not Checked" At the close of that
article something is said about the
danger OF shipping cotton seed from
the boil weevil districts, the possibility
and probability being pointed out that
in this way the weeviI may spread.
The safeguard suggested against the
spread of thu weevil in such cases is
fumigation of the seed.
Mr.. L. J. Baker, of Palmyra, a most
practical and successful farmer, sug-
gests that a safer way than having
fumigated seed shipped into our re-
gions would be to improve our own
seed here at home. And the sugges-
ton is a good and wise one.
Farmers may make great improve
ment in all their crops by carefully
selecting their seeds; and it is as pos
sible and practicable in cotton as it is
in corn or any other crop. 1t Is a
matter that would entail considerable
care and attention, but nevertheless 1t
is worth the extra pains and labor.
Let the farmers think about it,

NOMINATE GOOD MEN.

THE COMMONWEALTH has no candi-
dates to name in the coming eonven-
lions, except to say it feels preference
for SIR. Glenn Cor Governor. But in
saving this we wish it distinctly under
stood that wo have 10 word of detrac-
ton for any OF the able candidates who
aspire to the same position. They are
all good men, and any one of them
would make a most acceptable Gov
ernor.
In the nominations for State and
county offices also men should be Sc
lected whom the people will gladly
support. We have heard all our lives
that only good and conservative men
ought to be elected to public office so
in this suggestion THE COMMONWEALTH
is not Offering anything new, but is
emphasizing that which has been said
Tor hundred years.
A public office is public trust. and
ought to be given to men who will
meet the responsibility of such trust.
This done, and both the officers and
the people whom they serve will be
fortunate and prosperous.

JUDGE PEBBLES AND THE LAW.
YERS.

The contempt proceedings before
J u. = IL s PEBBLES in the case of the
Robeson county lawyers who refused to
try their causes before him some time
ago, we're heard in Lumberton Monday
OF last week. After hearing much
evidence in attidavits to support the
Robson lawyers in the continuance of
their cases rather than try them be-
fore Judge PEBBLES, the case was con-
tinued untll to-day, May Goth.
Attorney G. w. TilIett, of Charlotte,
in appearing for the Robson county
lawyers made strong plea to Judge
PEBBLES to allow the case to be tried by
some other judge, and Judge PEBBLES
said he might do it if he could find q
Judge in the State who is not in pol.
itics.
There was some damaging evidence
against Judge PEBBLES in the affidavits
aud it remains to be seen how he will
meet it when his witnesses are heard.
Altogether it is quite an interesting
case, especially to lawyers, but we
think it would haYe been better fo1
Judge PEBBLES it he had taken no no
tice of the action Of the Robson law.
