T. D. McLean, of Moore county,
who has charge of this district
County Farm Demonstrators,

Mr. Mclean was introduced by
our county superintendent. He
told the commissioners that out
of 25 counties which were in his
territory, all had Farm Demon

two counties, one of which was

nanner he explained the neces

that the state and national gov
ernment would give an equal

days. The remainder of his time
will be spent among the farmers

London, May 8. According; to
Berlin and Vienna the .German
and Austrian armies haveachf-
eved a notable victory : in West
Galicia, smashing "the'-:-en6reHMcvenmg,f absolves JudgeXJar

many miles, or as the Berhh .offi
cial statement puts it, across the
whole Western tip of' Qalicia,
from near the Himgarjan;b6rder
to the point -where the river
Dunajec jains the Vistula,- right
at the frontier of Poland. ' -1-
Though the 8,000 priscinerthe
Teutonic allies say they;. have
taken does not compare wit&the
number which some of -Field
Marshal Von Hindenburg's rush-;
es netted him m the North; ';" the
achievement, if subsequent Te-
ports bear it out," will; mean at
least a temporary- check r to ;hs

Berlin is celebrating . the vie
tory today, though it is admitted
flags have been flown before full
details are to hand. . England
and France make no claimtd
gains in the West, the British
merely saying that . the German
attack on Hill 60 in' Flanders
have been beaten back; the
French confirm this. : ; 1
The Germans maintain;:. they
are pushing forward to ,the;Korr
thwest of Ypres and toward? St:
Julien, which they capturecKai
ter ;the 1 attack following theirAtodiscovcr otjlicit and f nds. that
which they were forced to yield

under counter attacks.
In the fighting in the Baltic
provinces also Berlin finds cause
to rejoice. Rejecting the Rus
sian contention that it is only a
sporadic calvalry raid, Berlin
wirelss comment received to
night says it seriously threatens
the Russian right and the fact
that troops could be moved far
northeast before they encounter
ed resistance is considered a re
flection on the Russian intelli
gence system.
Mr. A. R. Foushee
Elected President.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Peoples Bank held last Satur
day Mr. A. R. Foushee was elect
ed president. Since the organiza
tion of this bank Mr. J..A. Long,
deceased, has been president,
while Mr. Foushee' has been vjce
president for some time. The,
management of this bank has
been of the highest order and has
succeeded beyond the highest ex
pectations of the organizers, and
with Mr. Foushee, who is one of
the most cautious and careful of
our moneyed men, as president
everv one feels assured that it will
not grow less popular or be any
less successful. The directors
could riot have found a man better
fitted to wear the mantle of the
former president.

jltiot r '
Raleigh, N. C April 30. The
report'of the legislative, commit
teeiri the Judge Carter-Solicitor
Abernethy case which .was filed
ter- jfrom all charges reflecting on
mofal : character, but finds -the
judge acted harshly and arbitrari-
ivVand unwisely exercised his judi-
claVdiscretion,T()st his temper and
ose , intemperate language at
times. But that he at no time act
ejj?6rraptly. Solicitor Abernethy
itr&'held by the Committee,,' is en
ticed to have contempt records of
the Craven court expunged so far
as they reflect on his official con
duct or private character, if it can
be done by any exercises of con
stitutional authority.
;The committee finds that Carter
had a serious nervous collapse and
breakdown just before he went on
ine oencn ana since tne incum
bency of his judgeship has had oc
casional returned nervous disor
ders which, in the opinion of the
committee, seriously affects his
temperament, provokes irritation
and derangement of his accustonv
tcl mental poise and while holding
courts in at least six counties 'The
hiis. exhibited some evidences of
return of his nervous troubles.
l Concerning the charges against
Judge Carter in immoral conduct
with women the report says:
,;! ,lThe committee heard and con-
sidered all4ihe evidence it was able
'I 1 ' i 1. - . a. , .li.t" J
tions to be without foundation and
tliat the charges are in no wise
sustained. But that, there were
widespread rumors of nature out
lined in resolutions introduced
and that their existence impaired
the usefulness of Judge Carter and
called for investigation. The com
mittee trusts however, that these
rumors are now set at rest."
