There is no Question about this.; The. insert’ was declared a boll weevil by K. I). Good man, county agent, and be forwarded it to Raleigh to the State Agricultural De partment aud experts there supported the opinion of Mr. Goodman in regard to the species of the insect. We tire bringing out this fact because we want the farmers of Cabarrus County to fully appreciate the fact that they have the weevil to contend with. It is too late to sit back now and figure that the weevil to visit the farm pf your neighbor but will • nnss your cotton fields. He plays no favorites. He trav els rapidly, and when it is an established faet that he is in Cabarrus County, it is almost certain that he will soon be in every section of the county unless every precaution is taken against him. It is useless too. to give up and just let the weevil run wild. He can be check ed if proper methods are used. The wise farmer is the one who will confer with his county agent or others who know of effective remedies, and get the remedies at work as soon as possible. SETTLED AT LAST. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided at last on the par clearance case which was carried to the highest court in the land by certain North Carolina, Virginia and South Car olina hanks, not members of the Federal Reserve System, who refused to clear at par certain checks that passed through them. The Federal Reserve Banks at Richmond and Atlanta contended that the banks must clear the checks at par, and the Supreme Court sustains the North Carolina State law upholding the right of state banks to charge exchange rates not exceeding one-tenth of one per cent, reversing a decision of the State Court of North Carolina. The par clearance test cases started several months ago and followed the pro cess of law that finally carried them to the United States Supreme Court. The decision of the court settles the matter once for all. CHARLOTTE LEADS. Charlotte leads other cities in the State in the number of Federal income tax returus that were made in 1921, the figures for which have just been made public in Washington. According to figures made public in Washington, the number of returns made by the leading cities of the State in the order of their rank was as follows: Charlotte 4655: Winston-Salem. 2045; Wilmington, 2925: Greensboro. 2770; Asheville. 21 >00; Raleigh. 2325: Durham. 14BO: Rocky Mount. 1380; Salisbury ' 980: Wilson. 710; High Point. 070; Gas tonia, 010; Fayetteville. 000: New Rem. 3WV; Goldsboro. 515: Kinston. 490: Eliz abeth City. 450: Henderson 410; Bur lington. 375: -Statesville. 70; Greenville, 340; Concord. 335: Hickory. 290; Lex ington. 270; Washington 200: Reids vitlr, 230; Thomasville, 135. Governor A1 Smith, of New York State, asserts again'that he will not be I a candidate for President on the Dem ocratic ticket in 1924. It is just ns well that he Jiae r*fched , thjs decision. Gojferfior* (Smith 1 is ’Veryf'pojnHnr in h»s native State, and had oftenjbeen spolten • of as a possible Democratic candidate, but he lost whatever chance he had for . the nomination when he signed a bill re pealing the prohibition law in New York Btate. Since then he has made several ‘ sutewsjots in which he has defended but £ action.' indicating without doubt that, he’ j is wet and will continue that way. And , that is one of the reasons he will never | get the Democratic nomination. There is no reason why Governor Smith can't have his own ideas about prohibition or i anything else, to be sure, but in bis i case as in the case of other people, ()is opinion is not popular with a majority of the Democrats of the country. And for that reason they are not going to support him for the Presidency, regard less of whether or not he is a candidate. TODAY’S EVENTS Tuesday, June 12. 1923.

"Lucius Gary will never make much of n man!” whispered the gossips as they talked about the boy. It was then about 1624, ami the_boy./ Liticius, was about 14 years of age. “Did you ever see such a runt!” said one woman. "He hasn't grown a bit the last five years— and there's na ficslt on his bones ! And to think of a child like that being to the heir to Sir Henry Cary! The mother, however, loved her boy with a most ardent love. Elizabeth Thn field saw only the more reason tor teach ing him to be a real man. and\to culti vate the powers of honesty, and self reliance, when she saw how much larget aml stronger his playmates of the same age its he, were. She herself had been an only child, and had known what if is to be thought of as one who will rep resent the family. Elizabeth 'had never known poverty, but she had experienced much of longing for companionship and love. Her loneliness had developed in her a strong vein of mysticish. and .even » of sadness. She resolved that she would give to her von all the love that he needed. Accordingly she made the boy, in his earlier years, her companion. Site train ed his character, and led him into a strong and resolute manhood. She was herself intensely religions, and she im parted much, though not hd, of her Own spirit to the hoy. In spite of all iter training, and her insistence tfpon Open air sports ami exercise she could not give the child a strong physique. He grew tip weak physically but strong men tally. Although he lived to be only 33 years old. nevertheless, he made himself one of the sanest, best balanced men iu the stormy England of his times—the England of the days of the great Civil YY'ar. iu which Cavaliers-,, fought Puritans. Tlie boy whom she had train ed so well, became the man who upheld the balanced cause of goodness, virtue, and sanity. If he could have lived, and his counsels could have been followed, England would have gained. Next: The Mother of Richard ll.' Thought He Was in Hell.
