In regard to the ordering of calcium
arsenate to light the boll weevil, 1
will say that I have been writing for
prices, and am now ready to place the
order for the farmers of Cabarrus
County who want to prepare in lime
to lake care of their cotton crop.
The State Department of Entomolo
gy advises that we will have to use cal
cium arsenate in most of Hie county
tliis year, if we intend to make a full
crop of cotton and only those ordering
early will be able to get it when they
need it ns most of thj* companies writ
ing or wiring ine have sold their en
tire output-up until June.
At tin* boll weevil meeting held on
tin* 10th. we decided to have all our
orders in by Saturday. January ”?th,
and send them off that afternoon.
1 will appreciate it if you will see
me in time and calculate the number;
of pounds you will want on a basis of
i? 5 pounds per acre.
1 also have pri* es on Dust Guns of
different types. *
Last year Cabarrus County made ov- j
er 11,000 bales of cotton with a few
weevils in different sections find ibis,
year with a good crop of weevils let i
have full sway we may not make ov-j
er half a crop. If you don't have to j
dust this.year it will keep over, hut
don't depend on your neighbor divid-j
ing his poison dust with you for lie |
may he looking to yon for the same!
thing and I have a good price on it ■
and you have the opportunity ol' get- 1
ting it at first cost, so it is up to you. |
\\'e have had a very mild winter so I
far jiikl Jill this has been in favor of j

Raleigh, Jan. 15.—A\\ N. Everett i

memos secretary of state. He will

preine Court.
Mr. Everett's decision was reached
after conference.s through tin* day

He sat ns a member of the. house
for tin* last time tonight. After
SjH'nker Dawson announced Mr. Ev
erett's resignation, the new state of
ficial made a brief farewell talk in
which he. appealed to liis colleagues
to continue the great constructive un
dertakings that had marked the 1821
session.
His regret in leaving that body, he
declared, was deepened by the reali
zation “that in the days to come when
the state finds itself and really ap
preciates the value of the great work
that has been clone,.my name..will nqt
in* on the role of those who voted for
the things of great material good and
happiness to the people of North Caro
lina."

JUDGE SINCLAIR MAKES
A SENSATIONAL CHARGE
Declares Average Board of County
Commissioners Is Liable to Indict
ment.
Fayetteville, Jan. 16. —Declarations
that the average board of county com
missioners were liable to indictment
for the manner in which they prepar
ed the jury lists to be used in the Su
perior courts, and that any man or
group of men who violated the sancti
ty of another’s home, laid their hands
upon him or even interferred with his
business was guilty of lynching and
should be so dealt with were the high
lights in Judge N. A. Sinclair’s charge
to the grand jury here yesterday*. The
charge was declared to have been one
of the ablest and most pointed ever de
livered to a Cumberland jury. It was
Judge Sinclair’s first charge to a
grand jury composed of his fellow
countrymen.
In taking up the question of the se
lection of jury lists Judge Sinclair!
(went into a subject which has never j
(been discussed -by a Superior,i'omt
judge here before, not recently at any ,
r:ite. The law in this case, declared!
liis honor, provides that no rnaui
should be placed on a jury list who is
not a man of good moral character, of
sufficient intelligence to serve on a
jury and who has paid his taxes. No
attention whatever is paid to the first
two of the qualifications, said Judge
1 Sinclair. In ignoring them the coun
ty commissioners are violating the law
and he told the grand jurors! a pre
sentment should be returned against
' any commissioner so guilty. The aver
age jury list, he declared, is made up J
by the * commissioners taking the list,
' of men who have paid their tax, pass- ]
j ing it around and taking each other
to strike off anybody they knew who
“had died or moved away.”
