pie Gathered Around The State
CAPITOL.
Raleigh,

Washington-Preside Wilson told
Senator Simmons and Overman that
he could not consider for the u
supreme court a man over IS years
old and would not consider If he could
help it man Ger sixty years or age.
This eliminates Chief Justice Walter
Clark. of North Carolina, for consider
ton. as he is Sc years old, and makes
doubtful the prospects of Judge B. r..
Ions. of Statesville, whose friends
have been active in his behalf. The
senators asked the president to con-
slider Judge Long, whose age is 60, IL
he goes over the so mark. If he does
not go beyond the 60-year limit, Sena-
TORS Simmons asked him to examine
the record of Associate Justice Will
liam r. Allen, of Goldsboro.
Senator Overman presented the en-
dorsements of Judge Clark, which.
have been forwarded.to him. Senator
simmons brought forward Judge AL
lens name, after the president had
announced his policy OF appointment.
Ii stating his objection ito appointing
man over so, the president is fol-
lowing a precedent which he and the
attorney general have adhered to
strictly in the making of judicial ap-
pointments.
4. w Mclean, of Lumberton, and
J. ". Bailey, of Raleigh, followed the
North Carolina senators into the
presence of the president to discuss
Judge Clark. Trey accompanied the
senators to the White House. After
these conferences Representative Pou
was asked if he intended to keep his
engagement with the president, when
he is to accompany Raleigh delega-
ton to the White House in behalf of
Judge Clark. He said he would keep
the appointment unless Re was adj
vised by the president that there is
no hope for Judge Clark or unless the
Raleigh people tell him they have
given up the battle.
Ex-Gov. Jarvis heads the list or en-
dorsement of Judge Clark In Pitt
county, which reached Representative
Pou.

No trouble was experienced in getting

tinues to receive queries concerning
the army worm which is infesting the

clares has been found successful In
combating the inroads OF the pest.
'To destroy army worms says he,
stake pitchfork full OF pine straw
and put piles OF straws in the rows
about twenty feet apart and ahead of
the worms. Sprinkle Une-nuarter
pound of sulphur on each pile OF
straw. Set fire to piles Of straw just
after shutdown, when the wind is
calm. This has been found to, be a
successful remedy"
