coming from the group which has
been bitterly opposed to the reappoint-

new commission and which is now
said to be seeking desperately for a
new candidate for The workmanship,
and who in the meantime are trying
to give the impression that Waynick
is already "out of the picture.,' It is
generally agreed here that if Cover
nor IIocy had offered Waynick some
other appointment, such as assistant
director of the budget or director of
the Division of Purchase and Contract
It would be very strong circumsttn-

COOL. WET WEATHER
TO RETARD GRAIN
Plant Lice Multiply Easily and Rapid
ly To Destroy Small Plants,
Expert Says

College Station, Raleigh, April II
Cool, wet weather this spring is in
creasing the hazards of raising small
grain, said DR.. B. B. Fulton, entomo-
logist at State College.
When the temperature is between
so and IS degrees Fahrenheit, he said,
aphids or plant lice often called
green bugs" multiply rapidly and
destroy small grain, especially oats.
These small insects, about the size
of pin head, live on the grain over
the winter. The extent of their dam
age to young grain plants depends
upon weather conditions
Many farmers are reporting that
their small grain fields have areas
where the plants are turning yellow
or dying. In some cases entire fields
are attacked.
There is little the farmer can do to
check this pest, DR.. Fulton continued.
But when the weather is above IS

bership on the commission.
But close friends of Cherry main
tain that he really does not want any
State appointment, also that he gives
no indications of wanting to run for
Congress or even for the Senate and
that he is perfectly sincere when he
says that all he wants to do is to stay
in Gastonia and practice law. Some
are hoping, however, that he may
change his mind between now and
next spring and that he may be per
suaded to make the race for Congress.
It is frankly admitted that Cherry
was of great assistance to Governor
Hoey and the administration forces
in the recent general assembly and
that if he wanted State job, he. could
undoubtedly have one. But those who
know Cherry well agree that he seems
to have virtually no political ambition
that the only reason he consents to
run for the general assembly is be-
cause he enjoys it and takes a per-
sonal interest in State government

degrees, a tiny wasp begins to multi
ply rapidly. The wasps sting the
"green bugs" and lay eggs in the
bugs dead bodies.
The eggs hatch into maggots which
soon produce more wasps to sting
more bugs, he pointed out, and the
green bugs disappear from the field.

In Carolina
Was 35,35O,OOO Gal
Ions Increase IN
North Carolina
Only, Roberts Says

Charlotte. April 14-AutOmobile trav
ell in the Carolinas, as reflected in
gasoline consumption figures, showed
an increase during 1886, Coleman w.
Roberts, president of the Carolina
Motor Club, declared today. In 1896,
he said a total of 507 100000 gallons of
gasoline went into automobile tanks
in North and South Carolina, as COM
pared with 454,529,00O gallons in the
preceding year. Of this 52,471,000 in
crease in gallonage 35,350,O00 was in
North Carolina and 17,121000 in South
Carolina.
For the country as whole" Mr..
Roberts said, motor vehicles used
19,500000,000 gallons of gasoline dur
ing the year just closed, according to
preliminary estimates. This was a
gain of 90 per cent over the 1885 con-
sumption of 17,865,OOO,OOO gallons.
For many states, the year 1886 set
a new high record in the amount of
gasoline used rejecting increased
registration of motor vehicles and
greater extent of car use. Not only
do more people own cars than for sew
eral years, but they are driving their
cars oftener and farther
Increase in amount of gasoline
used brought about a substantial rise
in gasoline tax collections. State gov
ernments collected approximately
SETS, 900 from this source last year,
a gain of 10 per cent over 1885 col
lections and a new all-time high rec
ord.
Counting in Federal and local gas
taxes, the total amount of revenues
extracted by means of the gas pump
during 1896 was approximately $780,
100000, or nearly $4,000 for every We
hicle registered in the entire nation
IAN interesting comparison has
been made between the cost of a gaso-
line pump and the amount Of tax re-
venue it produced. A new gasoline
pump is worth, on the average about
$4,000 and its annual output is esti-
mated at 10000 gallons. Since the
average tax on gasoline is 5.35 cents
per gallon, the pump produces $1,O70
in tax revenue. This is more than
seven times the value of the pump

FLEA BEETLES ARE
ATTACKING TOBACCO
Extension Service Suggests Methods
of Fighting Pest Eating
en- PlantbedS

College Station, Raleigh, April IA
Heavy infestations of flea beetles are
attacking tobacco plant beds in east
ern North Carolina, according to re-
ports received at State College.
Growers in both the border belt and
the new belt say the beetles are be-
coming serious menace to the crop.
DR.. B. B. Fulton, entomologist at the
college, said that applications of dust
containing one per cent rotenone have
been found effective in controlling the
beetles -
With busting machine, the dust
from cube or derris plants, either of
which contains rotenone, should be
blown through the canvas covers at
the rate Of 1-2 pound to 100 square
yards of bed.
The dust from cube and derris
plants are diluted with dry clay so
the rotenone' content will be one per
cent when prepared for use on to-
bacco plant beds.
If the grower wishes to use regu-
lar bean beetle dust, which is diluted
to contain only three-fourths Of one
per cent of rotenone, he can get good
results on his tobacco beds by increas-
ing the amount to 23 of pound for
each 100 square yards, DR.. Fulton
stated. = - - - 81
After tobacco plants are set out in
the field, they should be busted tn
following day and every fourth day
Thereafter during favorable weather
until the BEETLES are controlled. Ii
plants are rained on the same day
they are busted, the application Should
be repeated. ~
1t rotenone dust cannot be obtained
gust made up of one pound of Paris
green to five pounds of lead arsenate
can be used, but it is more dangerous
to the plants, and should be applied
evenly and only when The plants are
dry, he warned

true, why should be telling you ?
I've a sense of shame as much as
you have, and it's no pleasure to
me to- tell you things about Jim.
But I'm going to tell you. I'm 60

cheap little rat he is, because, even
If he is a cheap little rat, he's
mine. and I'm not going to lose
him, and the only way to stop you
from taking him is to tell you just
what sort Of a man he is. You
won't marry him then, because you
don't love him and do. What do
you know about Jim Asson? What
he's told you, I suppose, and can
guess what that is-three cars, a
steam yacht, and a place in the
country, huh 2" She gave a hard
little laugh. Eyes, he's been stay
ing at his place in the country

I've been waiting, waiting for him
to come back and me " me as he
said he would. Did he tell you the
name Of his place in the country ?"
II don't think he even mentioned
a place in the country" said JAG
queline. "He certainly did tell me
that he had couple Of cars"
We'll, I'll tell you," saiu Miss
Harringay. Charming place it is
in Devon-beautiful scenery, I
believe. Dartmoor is its name.
Yes. the prison. The only trouble
about that place in the country is
that once you get inside you can't
get out until your times up"
For some moments Jacqueline
said nothing. She was surprised
to find that what Miss Harringay
had just told her had not really
astonished her in the least. But
where did Charles come in? How
much did Charles know about Jim
Asson? Was it because he knew
so much about Jim Asson that he
had been so reluctant to let her
sign that deed this morning?
: "Dartmoor," repeated Miss Har-
ringay, that's where he's been
for stretch Of two years. He
didn't tell you that. You couldn't
expect him to. And it's not the
first stretch he's done. IF you
don't believe me you can go and
ask Mr.. Stuckey. Or you can ask
Colonel Lutman, or you can ask
the police. They know Jim Asson
all right; they've reason to. And
now what are you going to dog"
Jacqueline didn't answer.
I'll tell you what you're not go
ing to do" said Miss Harringay.
IT know your sort. You're not go
ing to marry him, and that's all
care about. I don't care what Jim
done, but you do. He may
be a cheap little rat, but I love
him, and I'll fight to keep him, and

"You thought what they wanted

Jacqueline nodded, and Miss

Mrs. Smith, on her arrival in
England, had taken up her resi-
dence in a small furnished flat in
that part of Pimlico which prefers
to be known as Belgravia, and bore
the same grudge against it that
she had borne against the Hotel
Walderstein. She hated it for be-
ing so blatantly third-rate. i''

it was a well-furnished self-con-

not far from the Vauxhall Bridge
road, with bathroom shared with

assurance that it was only for a
week or two, until Jacqueline was
married, and she spent her morn
ings inspecting flats that were
really self-contained, really in Bel
gravia, and really more in keeping
with an income Of $4,000 a year.
When Jacqueline reached home
she found that the well-furnished,
fiat was empty, re-
membered that her mother, was

JUSTICE BLACK DELIVERS HIS FIRST DECISION

WASHINGTON-Associate Justiee of the Supreme Court of the United States, Hugo L. Black, delivered his first Supreme Court decision today sustaining the Federal Trade Com missionls- contention that two firms can be engaged in unfair methods of competition in marketing products m Interstate Commere.
 Justice Black read the opinion in firm, steady voice. No dissent was announced.
 The decision reversed the ruling against the Commission by the Sec ond Circuit Court of Appeals of New York.
 The Commission contended that the Standard Education Society of Min nescta and the Standard Encyclo- pedia Corporation of Illinois, told prospective customers they were es- pecialiy selected to receive free en- cyclopedia and would have to pay only s69.5o for loose leaf material to keep it up. The Commission declared the price was the regular price plus --.he- loose Leaf ssrTice.
