B. Mabee, of Raleigh, talk on the boll weevil. Mr. Mabee does not approve of any sort of traps, patents, mechanical contraptions, or electrical appliances; nor any molasses or sweetened bait, secret remedy, hidden method, nor any mode of procedure. As a remedy for boll weevil do not use other than the well establishd official ly recognized, publicly known, non-se- cret methods. The Calcium Arsenate is the . only method of poison in the dry dust form that the State is rccoo mending. . Prom the report of six cooperators who dusted their cotton at an average of five times, the average per acre was 1,597 lbs for the dusted and 1, 269 lbs per acre not dusted. A gain of 328 lbs was found to be the effect of dusting. The net profit per acre by dusting was $24.23, while the cost of dusting per acre for season averag ed 5.53, Cost figures to include labor, poison, ami depreciation of machines. Here is a very brief outline of me thods that are approved by the gov ernment: ' . , (1) Cultural Methods for hastening and stimulating the crop, by best practices in preparation, planting, seed, spacing, fertilization and culti-l ,. vat ion. By these methods ninny pro fitablc el-ops have been made (but not always in spite of weevil. (2) Gathering early weevils; gath ering and burning fallen squares; winter clean-up of trash, hedge-rows, etc; planting in wide open fields; get ting rid of stalks in fall, preferably before frost. All these merely help, no one of them is a "remedy," all combined they are not wholly ade quate. ': (3) Standard dust-poison- Method with calcium arsenate applied by ma chines for the purpose. Described in Farmers Bulletin 1262 of U. S. Dept. Agr., and Circular 124 of N. C. Agr., Extension Service. In 1922 in N. C. tests this method gave an Increase in cotton, worthj' .over and -above cost tests. ' ':'F -'- (4) "Florida Method," Described in Bulletin 165 Fla. Agr Exp. Station (Gainesville, Fla., This method is bas ed on sound principles and is official- Jy advocated for Florida. It may be suitably adapted to other states with in a year or two. Not yet proven out side of Florida. CRIME IS APPARENTLY ON INCREASE IN THIS STATE Approximately twenty per cent more crimes were v committed in North ' Carolina during the biennial period which closed July 1, 1922, than during either of the two pre ceding biennial periods, according to a comparison of the report of the Attorney General just submitted to the Governor and General Assembly and tha reports for the 'other bien nial periods dating back to 1916. :, Leading all other offenses consist ently during the past six years were violations of. the prohibition law, as sault with deadly weapon and lar cency and receiving. Capital offen ses, including murder in the first degree, burglary in the first degree, arson and rape show a decided fat ing off since 1916 when the total was 218. In -1922 the total capital of fenses listed in the Attorney Gen eral's report numbered 32. , Violations of law involving intoxi cating liquors for 1922, totalled 2,004 representing an almost steady in crease. In 1917, there were 1,498 fuch offenses listed in 1918, there were 1,017 in 1919, there were 1,011; in 1920, there were 1,263; in 1921 there were 1,600 and in 1922, there ' were 2,004a ; ;;- : . MINORITY SPEAKER ' The last election in this State did not send many republicans to the leg . islature. Speaking of the election of "the Minority Speaker in the House in "Under The Dome", the Raleigh Ob . aerver says: ;7:";.:."'; "Brother Tom Owens, as they call him in the Baptist churches along iBlack River in the upper reaches of O -1 l - .L - t . oampson, vuanipiun ui uie tauae ui "my 4 widder woman" in a recent session;- contends that there was an actual caucus of the minority, , wit four Republicans attending Tuesday night, and that he was the duly ac- claimed candidate of the Republicans for the place of Speaker. Brother Tom Voted for himself, in a subdued voice from his seat on the very front row . He may get .lone some no there in front with not a Re publican in a dozen rows from him, bat he aims to stick it ont there, speaking on such subjects as may en gage his attention. His "widder wo man" died on him during; the summer and he is practically without legisla tive Issue." COURT HOUSE TO BE READYJY MARCH Chairman R. C. Goode of the County Commissioners says that he is of the opinion that the new Courthouse will be ready for use by the County .offi cials within about 60 days. He said it was hoped to finish it up not later than March 1st, unless something un- forseen occurs and delays the finish ing work, which is now being done by a force of workmen. A place to hold January term of Lincoln Superior court is giving some concern. ' It was expected to have the new Court room ready but it is now found to be impossible. With no place to hold court it is expected that a re quest will be made to postpone the term until the new building is ready for use; however the jury has been drawn and as to whether the term will be postponed is notknown defini tely at this time, but the officials hope to make a definite statement be tween now and the time for opening of the January term.

The prisoners were placed in the county jail, no bond having been ar ranged ; late this afternoon. Their cases will probably be heard at the next term of court.

After riding all day and night, we came within seven miles of Morgan ton. Here we unsaddled our horses, and pulled a few bunches of clover from "a field for them to eat.

The joint letter caUs attention to the need of federal buildings gen erally, and especially by the Post office Department, the Internal Rev enue Bureau and the Veterans' Bu reau, and sets out the reason, the huge rentals the greatest, this amounting to $20,830,195 yearly. The list names 140 buildings as the im mediate need, and in this last comes the names of Asheville and Greens boro, it being recommended that postoffice buildings be erected in these two places. The recommenda tion is that for the two buildings and sites there be appropriated $1, 360,000, Asheville to receive $200, 000 for a site and $500,000 for a building, While Greensboro would re ceive $100,000 for a site and $500, 000 for a building. It is urged that immediate legislation be had for buildings in the 140 places named, that all told the Postoffice Depart ment is now paying out in rontals $11,660,056, that economy demands it, and that more economy must be brought about by erecting buildings at other places yet to be named.

J, :.: il GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN Both Houses Smash Precedent When First Day Passes Without Introduc tion of Legislation. - With the fall of the gavels of the presiding off icers sharp on the hour of noon yesterday the two houses of the North Carolina General Assembly were called into session, and within an hour had adjourned with perma nent organization effected and with a smashed precedent recorded in its minutes, neither branch .having wit nessed the introduction of any item of legilntion beyond formal resolutions. In the House 55 mintues were de voted to swearing in the members, the selection and induction of John G. Dawson as speaker and the election of other members of the House organiza tion. In the Senate somewhat less time was devoted to the election of its organization, but the session was drawn out by the reading of com mittee assignments made by Lieuten ant Governor Cooper. Along with the legislative precedent went another in the complete lack of opposition to the majority candidates for places in the House and Senate organization, with the exception of the minority nomination of T.

' CLOSE-UP VIEW OF PRESENT SITUATION IN MER ROUGE, LA. Bastrop Looks and Acts Like Hills- boro On A Picnic Troops Guard ing Jail. (By H. E. C. Bryant, in Charlotte Observer) Bastrop, La., Jan. 3. This is about the quietest place I have ever seen to have the reputation it has. It looks and acts like Hillsboro on a picnic. The little town, with a population ol 2,000, is waiting for something tc citement here, ft died out." Nation guard troops guard the parish jail, and others are camping near the courthouse, but nothing has appearec to excite them. Everything is in readiness for the preliminary hearing in the Mer Rouge kidnaping case Friday morning, when Attorney General Adolphus V. Coco of Louisiana, acting under the investi gation and direction of Governor Par ker, will begin the taking of testi mony to ascertain who, if anybody, on the 24th of last August seized anr killed Watt Daniels and T, F. Rich ards, of the parish of Morehouse. T. J. Burnett, of Morehouse parish aifd Dr. B. M. McKoin, former mayoi of Mer Rouge, but more recently o Baltimore, .where he was arrested- at the instance of Governor Parker, ar the only ones held in the alleged mur der of Daniels and Richards. Burnett is in jail here and Dr. McKoin-is ir. the custody of Maryland officers. " Louisiana is divided into two hostil political camps over the Morehouse parish kidnapping and murder case. Governor Parker is severely eriticiser" daily by leading citizens for sending troops here. On the trains, about the hotels and in all other public gather ing places the question of the method of investigating the disappearance of Daniels and Richards is discussed rather than what happened to the two men. "Do you approve or disapprove the a:tion of the governor?" is the ab sril iiig racwon, and the bitterness with whkh it is discussed often re sults in .-l'ikteuff finals. County or parish officers Vcre asiert that they wish to see jus jce done and the guilty cersoBs in the sonsational affair pun ished, but they resent the'unfavorable publicity given their community. There is much speculation as to the final outcome cf the present efforts to uncover and convict those connect ed with the Mer Rouge affair. Many unbiased persons doubt if the evidence said to be in the hands of the state prosecutors is sufficient to re sult in a verdict of guilty. Even the citizens of Mer Rouge, which is seven miles from the parish seat are about equally divided on this question. SECRETARY FALL WILL QUIT nARDING CABINET Washington, Jan. 2.
