To FIGHT THE ARMY woRsi.
Government Offi~ials Say the Invasion
Of Worm In the Cotton Belt May
be Expected This season

A Washington. ID. C.. dispatch dat
ed May Il says:
An invasion Of the Cotton Belt BY
the cotton worm or caterpillar. in cor
rectiy called the army worm. may De
expected this season In the opinion Of
". ID. Hunter. in charge OF the
Southern field crop investigation OF
the Department OF Agriculture at Dali
las, Texas. expressing himself by way
of warning rather than prediction.
He advises planters TO make the nee
essary preparations for fighting the
worm and begin operations at the
earliest possible moment. The invas-
ion last season extended as far north
as Canada and i'd considerable dam
age not only 10 cotton but TO fruits
in the North.
Investigation has developed that
all the cotton worm moths in the
United States were destroyed by the
abnormal cold last winter. Our con-
clusion,' says DIR. Hunter, is that the
only fear OF an outbreak is in re-
invasion from Central and South
America. There is one fact which
seems to indicate that there may pos
sibly be such a reinvasion. The chron-
ology of the outbreak shows a dis
tinct tendency toward the recurrence
of a series of two or three seasons
of abundance. Apparently the species
reaches great numbers in South
America and remains abundant for
several years, thus giving rise to the
consecutive swarms which have in
vaded the United Staes.
For the control of the cotton
worm, Mr.. Hunter advises the use OF
powdered arsenate of lead, mixed
of two pounds an acre

mysterious prowler, whom the police
call Jack the Shooter" entered the

blocks from the center of the bust

ed to assault Mrs. Coulter. When she

Negroes Have Fatal Quarrel Over
Crap Game.

Smithfield, N. c., May 2O.-A
crowd of twenty-five negroes gather
ed in the woods about half mile OF
Selma yesterday in order that they
might have game of crap. About
II o'clock a dispute arose between
one Elliott and George Ross over a
debt of so cents. Ross started to
draw his pistol, it is aid, when a
brother of Elliott, who was standing
by, drew his gun, it is alleged, and
shot Ross with fatal effect. The
crowd scattered and up to this time
the man who did the shooting has not
been apprehended. Two of those pres
ent have been arrested and put in the
lookup to await the hearing before
the coroner. 1t is said that Ross, the
man who was killed, was recently re-
leased from the penitentiary where
he had been serving a sentence for
killing another negro over a debt of
so cents. From the meagre informa-
ton at hand, it appears that retribu-
ton has overtaken the negro Ross.

ON Convention III President Fails OF
Nomination ON First Ballot

4 Washington. d. C.. dispatch 10
the New York American says:
The polnt-blank statement VAS
made by friends OF President Taft In
Washington that Justice Charles Z.
Hughes VIII be the compromise can
didate of the Chicago convention for
the Presidency. 1t was stated tna'
The only obstacle to an admission
from Justice Hughes that he Is will
ing TO accept the nomination Is
promise made to Mr.. Taft at the time
Of his appointment TO the Supreme
Court bench that he would not be g
candidate.
With the positive knowledge that
President Taft cannot stem the Roo
sevelt tide at the Chicago Convention,
a delegation of prominent Republi-
cans, within the last few days. called
upon Justice Hughes to ascertain his
exact position. He told them frank
ly that his candidacy depends entirely
upon the wishes of President Taft.
The plan of the Taft forces as il
exists to-day is that the moment they
ascertain on the floor of the conven-
ton that the President will not be
able TO obtain the nomination on the
first ballot the name of Hughes will
be sprung. Hughes will Immediately
be given a great ovation, and an at
tempt made to stampede the conven-
ton in his behalf.
so bitter has the feud become that
it is no longer a question of nomi-
mating Taft, but of defeating Roose-
welt. The Taft forces are convinced
that Hughes will be able to carry New
York as opposed to Roosevelt. There
fore he is the only man upon whom
they are willing to concentrate as a
substitute for their own candidate.
THE plans to nominate Hughes in
an emergency has already met with
the approval of President Taft, and
an effort is now being made to en-
list the support of the New York dele
cation in such a course"

political Precedent FOoIishness."
The New Bern Daily Journal, the
oldest Democratic paper in the Third
Congressional, in leading editorial,
says:
. About o'clock in the morning,
at Goldsboro, N. c., July 6, 1910, af-
ter an all night session, the Demo-
Gratis of the Third North Carolina
Congressional District nominated a
DR.. Faison. This political consum-
nation was one of those freak acts
which men do on the morning after
when worn to thin edge, and not in
their right minds. This nomination
given, of course Democrats had to
openly endorse, though cursing in
wardly. 1t was one of those political
commitments that a party sometimes
makes, and then has to stand by it,
veritable dish of political crow, that
must be declared palatable and eaten
without a grimace, no matter what
the inward pangs may be.
'The campaign conducted by the
common order. Every self-respecting
Democrat was Disguised. If the Dis
trict had not been well worked up to
strong Democratic proportions dur
ing the twelve years of Charles r.
Thomas honorable tenure of this
Congressional office, there is no tell
ing what the result would have been.

Gratis of the Third District have been

through this unfortunate hot July
