Interest is added to thi announce ment by the fact that the Senator chesen next year will be ih) first to be elected In North Carolina by a direct vote of the people. Senator Overman, who has been in the Senate for ten years and will have served two full terms when his present tirm ex pires, 'will again be a candidate. It U generallv understood that Hon. R. B. Glenn, ex-Governor of the State, will be a candidate, and ramor has it that Democratic State Chairman Char les A. Webb may be a candidate. And there may be others. Mr. Justice ha been in the public eye for several years.. He has been in the Legislature threa times one from McDowell county, and twice from Guilrcrd. In IU07 he was Speak er cf the Honse cf Representatives. In the Legislatrue he won reputation j f for his famous fight fcr a lower pas senger rate, fcr an effective aati-trcst lawT, (or his primary bill and' corrupt practices act. He has long been in the work cf fighting for lower freight rates tor the Stita and ia a member i of the special commission to investi gate freight rates provided for at the recent sessica of the Legislature. In Geenboro Mr. Justice is one of the foremost member cf the bar and has a larfce practice. He Ins been prts idbnt of the Chamber of Commerce and has always htm ptjtricr-3pirltad tc a high degree. He is a son of JaJge M. H. Jcst'.ce, of Rntherfardtou, and a member cf a family (hat is dis tinguished for public services, Mr. Jn&tice's acnoencement is as follows: MR. JUSTICE'S ANNOUNCEMENT Friends throughout tha State have expressed a desire to know whether I will be a candidate to succeed Senator Overman as United states Senator, and I think it the most convenient and frankest way to deal with the situa tion to state publicly that I do expeGt to aspire to the houor ol representing North Carolina in that exalted posi tion. Later I shall state fully the reasons why I presume to hope that if elected the opportunity will thereby be afford ed to consecrate the position and what- j ever of ability and talents I may have 1 to the service ot the State. Ia the! meantime it is my sincere desire that my course a a citiztn and as a public official will not be influenced by uiv candidacy or hy any personal ambi tion. If occasion arises in the future to decide between the path cf duty; and personal scricfi3 on the one hand and of selfishess and policy on the ether, even though the latter course saenas to indicate personal advantage to myself . I ask no more than that in such event I ba given iha wisdom, vir tue and patriotism to pursue the course that wm enacie ma io ibwib niy self-respect and the commendation cf my conscience, and that' ! may so walk that it may be truly said that I did not "sell the truth to serve the hour." I do net intsnd by this anrcence ment to indicate a purpose to carry en a lofcg campaigu that will tend to un duly distract the attention of the vo ters" from other matters. It will be nearly or quite a year telcre the vo ters of the Democratic p"? select that party's candidate fcr United States Seaatcr to be voted for' a: the general election ia November. 1914. I am not inclined,. if I were in a position to do so, ror -could I if I were inclined, ctrrv on a long active campaign. My financial needs an3 limitation force me to aevote rnysslf diligently aad al most exclusively to my private basi nets for mnay months to come. I deem insufficient at this time to make this brief statement, and I, trust I may say with propriety that my position ca public questions is suffi ciently well known and has been con sistent enough to make a .sore elabo rate itatemsnt at this time case? ary. . .

E. J. JUSTICE. This Joly IS, 1313. Buzfuz Submits a Few Reflec- tions. Mr. Editor: It is entirely too warm now, with ether and multifarious "can't stand everything and go to mill too." Jsst because I sassed Tom Henderson in The Sentinel, who has delegated himself to be the Moses to ! matrimony, where "generous fruits that never faU' have their secure and everlasting heritage, grow sky high, thir leaf withereth not and bring etb forth its fruit in due season, such tempting viands aa would make all the ancient Grecian gods jealous and cause them to come down o2 their pedestals and help mortal man enjov the richness, the sweetness thereof. No, ""they all with one accord" steer ed clear of rae last leap year, and up to yesterday morning at breakfast not a mother's danghtsr had asked to call t-me her iootsy-woctay. " l wa3 merely letting Torn know we didn't fear him should ha ever condescend to fall from his estate and go to the Legislature. As a matter of fact, I wa on the eve of a.vsing the ''Bishop" of Bache- ! iorlicod to this pHce,to hol i the neces- Gary services aul couhrm two pronns- ing candidates in this section ii:to the fold. The Bishop lives in Rocking ham county and is a good one. He is . . ' 4 Billy in the low grounds. Johnnie at the spot. While the girls in their cloorrsers Dacce tile Taikev Tret." This will rea?sure you and Bob Jcce and Tom Chandler and ethers till I see you. We had an excess of rain a while hick, but ten davs of fair weather has snanled the farmers to kill li grass id we have a beatniful crcp of tobac co and corn now, if dry doesn't nip it too bad. Tobacco topping in full sea sen and some will begin to henae it by, August 10th. Have not threshed wheat yet, so can't tell the yield, but it was best crop at harvesting I ever saw. I see that Ferguson and Fitzgerald, of Richmond, Va., have been allowed i patent on a revolver attachment they invented. It is a flash light with spot to show the true target in the dark, storage batterey in the handle. This is interesting news here, as the Fitz gerald is Dr. Jas. O. Fizgea-all, Pel ham boy. He is now with the State Health Department of Virginia. The brunswick stew brigade seems to have disintegrated, as we see nor hear no mere cf that kind cf partus. The wet weather was hard on the watermelons here, bat we have pros pacts of having a few, and big tomato crcp. No apples. No peaches. Black berries very sorry indeed, but big chance of huckleberries and chiggers. Syith peace and harmony anl good will toward all, Yours as ever, SERGEANT BOZFUZ. Buzfuz Farm, July 13. 1U13. C. F. King Dies in Prison With Pardon in Sight Bridegwater, Mass., July 2i. A spectacelir career was ended under pathetic circumstances today whea OardenloF. King, once widely known as a financier and newspaper publisher of Boston, died a convict at the Stite farm here in the very hour tha friends, aware of the approach of death, were making desperato efforts to obtain his pardon. Only a lsgal" technicality prevented his last hour being thes cf a free rain. Word that his condition was hopeless was sect to Governor Foss at Bstca this xaorniag ani saoa aftsr wardi.

Tbe call, of conrso, takes the form of a proclamation by the Gover nor and requests legislators to re aisemhle on September 24.

JNO. P. KERR, Private Secrteary. STATEMENT FROM THE GOVER NOR. Referring to the call of the extra session of the Legislature, Governoi Craig said : "The last Legislature passed a reso lution providing for an extra session of the General Assembly in order that amendments to the constitution might be submitted to the people. Tt:e Gen eral Assembly created a Constitution al Commission to prepare such amend ments and report them to the Gover nor. This commission has completed its work. An extra session of the Gen eral Assembly is therefcre necessary." Continuing, he said : "The negotiations between the rep resentatives of the railroads and the Corporation Commission have net in my opinion resulted in any under standing sufficiently dehnita to delay the cill of the extra session. "These negotiations will cot be in terfered with by this call, and before the meeting of the General Assembly oa the 24th of September, there is am ple time in which to arrive at aa agreement. I earnestly hope that there will te an amicable adjustment of our differences with the railroads. "I cannot do otherwise than aabmit these questions, so vitally affecting the people of Ncrtb Carolina, to their j chosen representatives. " Forty Years a Tater Patch and SUU Good.

Simmons Defends New Tariff Bill. Washington, J uly 19 Debate on the tariff in th Senate began io ear nest today with Chairman Sltaraooa of the Finance Committee proclaim ing the new bill a satisfactory anawer to the demands for downward reviaion and Senator Cummins, speaking f rota a progressive Republican standpoint predicting that it would carry the Democratic party to defeat. Senator Simmons replied to con tentions (bat the bill dUcrimioated against the farmer. Senator Cammina asserted that the Democratic party had treated the fanner as an outlaw and vigorously assailed President 'Wilson for his participation in fra ming the bill. This he characterized as abuse of power that had been 'coercive." Senator Simmons recounted the jfarra products, the measure would place on the free list, tuch a,s wheat, flour, cattle, sheep, swine, sugar, wool, eggs and potatoes and ald: "Every man, whatever occupation, will be the beneficiary in some direc tion to a greater or less degree of this geueral system of reductions. In this respect the farmer has been hown special consideration. Prac tically everything he buys has been put on the free list or theduties have been greatly reduced. y BENEFIT OF FARMER. For his special benefit, cotton bag ging and ties and materials out of which sacks for grain, wool, fertilizer. ! etc ' are ,nade wire r fencing, and h I'P. d similar articles. of farm consumption, have been put on the free list. For his special bene fit, plows, shovels, hoes, rakes, mow er', reapers, planters and agricultu ral implements of every kind and de scription have been put upon the free lit. He will be, in a large degree, the benefJciaiy of free listing of build ing materials of various kinds, ma terials used in construction of roads, school textbooks, boots and shoes, low grade blankets, harness, saddles, wagons, carts, tewing machines and other like products. "He will share general benefits from the reduction of duty on sugar and its ultimate abolition, and finally, he will share benefits of the heavy reductions this bill makes on wearing apparel of every description.crockery , hardware, hardwood aud kitchin fur nishings and utensils.," Chairman Simmons declared the free list under the present Payne-AI-ilrich law was in the interest of the protected manufacturers. "Undoubtedly there will be In creased importations under this bill. That was intended and provided for in the reductions in rat? It makes. You cannot re vice the tariff so as to give relief from present tariff bur dens, except by enlarging opportuni ties for importations. "Undoubtedly, on the other band, there will be increased exportation under this bill. That was also in tended by its f ramers and is provided for in such ways as was found pos sible, and practicable. "To this end it untaxes the things the farmer employs In making the products be sell abroad, it untaxes the raw materials of the manufac turer. SPIRIT OF COMITY.
