WOULD NC|T
HAVE POSITION!
Judge G. H. Brown Will Remain |
on Supreme Court Bench
It^ the Charlotte Observer of yes-|
terday appears tl/e following news)
item froj^ its Washington City cor
respondent, that will prove of inter
est to the Dally News readers:
? "It was whispered here, some tlmej
ago. that Judge George H. Brown
would be offered the deanshlp of the
State Unlve&ity Law School, to suc
ceed the late Judge McRae, and. that
in the event of his acceptance, Judge
William It. Allen of the Superior
court bench would be tendered his
seat In the 8upreme court. It was
argued thaL bi thin more* the Alleu
Mannlng fight could be averted.
Judge Allen, It w^ts said, could not
have declined, and had he accepted
there would have been no contest.
This sounds well whether true or not.
The talk passed. A contest is Inevit
able. I am Pliably Informed from
friends of. Judge Allen and Judge
^t^nder^any^lrcumstances. defeat
Judge Walker.. It is said that neither!
would accept the associate justiceship;
to succeed him. Therefore, this dis
misses a story that circulated two or
three weeks *fo: the fight will be
between Allen ^)fo(ann]pg."
. In consequence of the above this
paper can state with safety the .foK
lowing facts; * .
It is understood here that the trus
tees of the University would be will
ing to tender tolour townsman. Judge
Brown, the de4nshlp or the Depart^
ment of Law of the University of
North Csrolina..; While thiB is very
gratifying to Us. home people yet
they would uafcfriilHiiil I see Jjidge
Brown leave the Supreme court
bench, for which his long judicial ex
perience peculiarly fits him. We are.
therefore, glsd to say that Judge
Brown, while appreciating the confi
dence manifested, would prefer to re-^
main injudicial service -as long asi
the State desires it.

body. -also cutting off one of the legs.'
Sauls, who was one of the party, .
left on the same train but was cap
fured at Selma and brought back last [

The coroner's Jury Tenderer" a ver- .
diet that Langley came to 1i'< death

that some one had shot I^angley.

Practical Advantages
to Be Realized by the
Extermination of Ticks
The benefits of exterminating cat
tle 'ticks are being realized In a very
practical way In 1he parts of the
| South that have been freed from
these pestB and released from quar
antine. Dr, A. D. Melvln. Chief of
the United States Bureau of Animal
Industry, in his annual report recent
ly submitted to the Secretary of Ag
Iriculture, has the following to say on
i this subject:
"An investigation recently made
by the bureau in this territory shows
that great Improvement has already
resulted from this work. "" More cat
tin ft rp being raliwri. Rnii a better
grade nf breeding stock 16 being in
troduced; calves grow faster, and cat
tle put on flesh more rapidly during
the grazing season and go Into the
winter in better condition because of J
the absence of the ticks; they can be
marketed without quarantine restric
tions. and higher prices are being ob
tained; dairy cows give a larger
yield of milk, and values of farm
lands are enhanced. Aside from- it*
own observations. Hie bureau has re
ceived from persons in the released
territory numerous letters and other
expressions confirming the foregoing
facts and testifying to the great ben
efits following the extermination Of
the ticks.
"The difference between the prices
realized for cattle from the tick in
fested region and the prices of rattle
of similar grades from above the
quarantine line ranges from $2.26
to $5 a head at the principal northern
live stock markets. without taking
into account the Improvement in
quality and weight of cattle because
of the eradication of the ticks. As
more than 1,000 cattle from lift
quarantined area are annually sold
Jn these markets. It can easily be
?Mo -Sa u? 4 al
ern markets. In addition to this, the
Increase In prices of cattle sold local
ly In the South would represent a
large Rum. This local increase has
already been found to amount to
from 93 to 915 a head In the terri
tory. recently freed from ticks. Kn
agricultural official of one of the
Southern States reports that oalves In
the tick-free area bring just double
the price that c*n be obtained for
similar calven In the tick-infested re- t
gion.
"Heretofore It has beep Impracti
cable to Improve the quality of south
ern cattle by Introducing flne breed
ing. animals from other sections, be ?
cause such animals were liable to
contraet Texas fever and die unless
protected by inoculation. Further
more, it is impossible for animals to
attain good growth and to thrive
when they are heavily infested with
tlckB. With the eradication of the
ticks, however, the southern farmers
are enabled to produce good breeding
anlmalB and to Improve the grade of
their stock."
