A DEMOCRAT 111
PURUELl'S
REPUBLICANS OF NORTH CARO.
UNA FAIL TO AGREE, SO THE
' PRESIDENT APPOINTS JUDGE
CONNOR FOR THE EASTERN
DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Washington, D. C. May 11, 1909
iPresident Taft today sent to the Sen
ate the nomination of Henry Groves
Connor, a Democrat, to be United
States Judge of the Eastern District
of North Carolina.
The vacancy on the North Carolina
bench, caused by, the death of Justice
Thomas R. Rurnell, has existed for
some months and has been a source
of much concern to President Taft.
The contest for the place has teen a.
bitter one and the Republicans cf the
Eastern District of North .Carolina re
cently urged the President not to ap
point a Democrat even if he had to
go out of the district tb find a suitable
Republican for the place. The Presi
dent has given more consideration to
this North Carolina judgeship than to
all of the other vacancies on the Fed
eral bench with which ne has had to
deal since his inauguration. "He has
been in constant consultation with the
North vCarolina Senators and Repres
entatives and has had placed before
him the names of at least a dozen
candidatesY
The selection of Judge Connor has
been foreshadowed for several days
and his nomination today did not
come as a surprise to those who have
followed the matter closely. Judge
Connor was for -about ten years on
the bench of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina, and for a number of
tears before that was a judge of the
Superior Court Judge Connor is de-
, scribed as a man of liberal views
ppUtieally and is -so regarded at the
White; House, in spite of his long
affiliation with the' Democracy.
Judge Connor, is confirmed by the
Senate, will sit in Raleigh, Nw Bern
and Wilmington, N. C. .
Superior Judge W. R. Allen, of
Goldsboro, N. C. nd J. S. Manning,
of Durham, N. C, are spoken of as
possible successors to Justice Conndr
on. .the Supreme bench of North Car
olina Governor Kitchen will appoint
Mr. Charlie Weeks of the Major &
Loomis. Lumber Co., was in our midst
Sunday.
Miss Maude Jackson of Chaponoke-j
is teaching a private school at Snow

WISE FOREST MANAGEMENT
I -
1 1 ;
That thewisemanasement of, the
forests is regarded by President W.
WNFinley, of the Southern Railway, as
a necessity in the development of i the
South is strongly, brought out in his
recentaddress to the student body of
the University of Georgia.
"'In my opinion," said President
Elnley, ".the economic importance of
the management of our Southern for-
ljsts so as to secure from .them the
largest present profit consistent with
their preservation can not' be overes
timated In addition to their influence
upon stream flow, tending, to diminish
the destructiveness of floods and to
maintain higher water for navigation
and cfor the generation ' of power in
dry seasons, they form the founda
tion of our wood working industries. t
"U!nti comparativelf recent -fyears
the North Atlantic States predominat
ed in furniture manufacturing and
other wood working industries. Timber
supplies in that section have "been
almost exhausted and these Indus,
tries are following the rapidly reced
ing forests into the South and West
greatly increasing the value of our
timber lands. - i
"If Southern wood working indus
tries are to thrive in years to come,
they must be assured of a constant
supply of their raw material. This
can be brought about only by the adop
tion of scientific methods of forestry
by the ownerss of our woodlands.

THE MEASURE OF THE MAN.
How big was Teddy Roosevelt, ipa
- That people call him great
Could he . reach from here to Pana-
V- ma , 'Jt-
And pa, what was his weight?
He was not great in girth nor height
, But great in deeds my son; ?
And being conscious of his might,
He thought he weighed a ton.
But tell me, father, what he did
That he should laurels don,
He never, built a pyramid
. Or crossed the Rubicon.
My child, do not your school-books
teach ,
Or have you never heard.
How Teddy with a Nsingle screech
Could coin a brand new word?
If one would ever oppose his whim
, Or rouse his righteous ire.
Or dare to disagree with him,
He'd brand that one a liar.
But, which ONE action made him
great
(For sureiy one's enough?)
My son,, 'twas when he rose in state
And called Ben Tillman's bluff.
THE CENSUS MAN
Soon will come the census man,
With his pencil and his book.
Counting all the things he can,
Peering into every nook,
He will want to know your name,
Will demand your age forsooth,
Though a spinter, just the same
Here you wilj have to tell the
truth
. c
Children he will duly" list -Babies
count as much as big,
Not a youngster will be missed,
Not a chicken or a pig
He will ask how many cows,
Also colts and . likewise calves;
Number all the goats that bsowse,
Census men don't work by halves;
Got an organ in the house ?
Do your sewing by machine?
Does your family line on souse?
Cook by gas or gasoline.
r
"WSiat's your income? Be correct
JEljowM ye spend the same, and why
Whats the crop tjiat you expect?
iWher ye going when you die?
What's the color of your hair.
Do you have it cut -at home.
Scars and birthmarks please declare,
Did "you ever write a pome?
Were your forbears native bom?
Where they crazy? Were they
thieves?
Is your tipple rye or corn? zz z z
Aure you troubled with the heaves?
Has your wife a new spring hat.
Do you think the question rude,
Does she perch it on a rat?
What's you brand of breakfast
food?
When the record is complete,
All the . trying labor done,
Uncle Sam will print a neat
Phamplet weighing half a ton.
