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. ? ?

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." Remember tonight J. D.
