"As you know," said Colonel Pearsall, "I was with Governor Aycock as his private Secretary while Governor and after he left the office of Governor until the day of his death we were in almost constant communication cither per sonally or by correspondence. As many of us know, Govcrnor'Aycock had the question, of becoming a candidate under advisement for many months be fore he declared himself, and in that time talked fully and freely with his friends. I would be safe in saying that he talked and wrote to me about this matter fifty times. I feel- I know, in deed1, I know I know, his feeling with reference to Senator Simmons. Per sonally they were kind and cordial, and I know if he had not become a candi date himself he would have certainly supported Sneator Simmons to suceced himself. "As to his vote on Lorimer, reciproci ty , and in deed all q uestions of i mporta nee Governor. Aycock entirely agreed with Senator Simmons. He gave all of these questions thought and investigation. His mind was clear and positive as to these matters. "I recall distinctly the morning the papers announced the nrst vote on Lorimer. I remember we (Governor Aycock and myself) had beciv 'to lhe Supreme Court room and .were walking across the Capitol grounds and were naturally discussing the Lorimer vote We stopped at the West end of the Capitol; Governor Aycock placed his foot on the lower step and told me that he had done what not many people had done, that is, he had read every word of the evidence in the case, and upon the evidence, he said, Lorimer was not guilty; that no honest jury in' North Carolina - would convict him on this evidence. He said that Senator Sim mont had voted right, as he (Aycock) thought,, and if he had been in his place he would have voted at he did. - "I also, remember on this ocascion, a on others he told me, as he had told others' on other occasions in my pre tence, that Senator Simmons votes on all the questions he had been criti clsed about were as he (AycockJ would have voted If he had been in Senator Simmons' place. . "Therefore,' instead ' of Governoor Aycock being againstSenator Simmons on these vote and as to his policy,, he was with him ."Govcrnor'Aycock became a candl date because of the persistence of bis d because he wished the great United States Senator. the death of Governor Ay sentence passed.

JohnsOn is said to be an in veterate cocaine fiend and his conduct in the county jail since thc night of his arrest has indicated as much. Through his attorney the defendant plead guilty to a charge of forcible trespass and was sentenced to serve 15 months on the county roads. Upon the recommen dation of the Solicitor the sentence will not go into effect until expiration of 15 days and in the meantime Johnson will have an opportunity of leaving the State. . , The case in which Mr. J.
