' , Washington President Wilson told Senator Slmmona and Overman that , be could not consider for the U. S, supreme court a man over 65 years old and would not consider If he could tielp It a man oer sixty years of age. This eliminates Chief Justice Walter Clark, of North Carolina, for consider? tlon, as he Is 68 years old, and makes doubtful the prospects of Judge B. F. , Long.' of Statesvllle, whose friends have been active in his behalf. The . senators asked the president to con alder Judge Long, whose age Is 62, If be goes over the 60 mark. If he does not go beyond the 60-year limit. Sena tors Simmons asked him to examine the record of Associate Justice Wil Ham R. Allen, of Goldsboro. ' Senator Overman presented the en dorsements of Judge Clark, which bave been forwarded to him. Senator Simmons brought forward Judge Al len's name, after the president had announced his policy of apolntment In stating his obectlon to appointing a man over 60, the president la fol lowing a precedent which he and the attorney general have adhered to strictly lh the making of judicial ap pointments., A. W. McLean, of Lumberton, and J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh, followed the North Carolina senators Into . the presence of the president to discuss Judge Clark. They accompanied the senators to the White House. After these conferences Representative Pou was asked if he Intended to keep his engagement with the president, when lie Is to accompany a Raleigh delega tion to the White House in behalf of Judge Clark. He said he would keep the appointment unless he was ad vised by the president that there Is no hope for Judge Clark or unless the Raleigh people tell him they ; .. have given up the battle. Ex-Gov. Jarvls heads the list of en dorsement of Judge Clark in Pitt county, which reached Representative Pou. Farmers Expect Big Meeting.

Community health work In ' the state took another step forward re cently When the state board of health announced that one more county "had been added to the list of those which desired the community method of hookworm eradication. This county Is Columbus and the particular seo- tlon of, the county where this work will be done Is at Hailsboro. Along with this announcement by the board comes the one that Dr. P, W. Covington, of Wadesboro, who has been connected with the state health work as an officer for the past four years will be assigned to the work of hookworm eradication as a member of the hookworm commission and will begin his duties in Hailsboro at once. Dr. Covington will leave Raleigh at once for the seat of bis new work. ' In making the choice of Dr. Covington the state board of health commends him for his past services which hav been most efficient He has served in several departments of the state health work and In each of them he has done excellent service. ' , North Carolina is the pioneer state in the community health work. The results of Its efforts along this line are being eagerly watched by other state health departments. The lit erature of the North Carolina state board of health is being scattered over the country and a great deal of it is sent on request from other "-states for information In regard to the work which la being done In this state. When the hookworm was found to be so prevalent In the South the various health departments of the South im mediately undertook the discovery of the most practical method of eradica tion. The North Carolina board fin ally determined that the hookworm dispensaries established at various points for a short time on general campaign were not bringing the re sults which had been hoped for. The Intensive method of hookworm eradi cation was then undertaken. Successful Combat of Army Worm. The department of agriculture con tinues to receive queries concerning the army worm which is infesting the crops in this section of te state and which has laid waste entire crops of certain farmers. Mr. Franklin Sher man, state entomologist addressed the Farmers' Institute Normal in re gard to the methods which may be used to stop the march of the worm. Mr. W. A. Smith, of Neuse. Route 1, recently forwarded to the News and Observer a suggestion which - he de clares has been found sucessful In combating the inroads of the pest 'To destroy army worms," says he, "take a pitchfork full of pine straw and put piles of straws in the rows about twenty feet apart and ahead of the worms. Sprinkle one-quarter pound of sulphur on each pile ' of straw, Set fire to piles of straw just after sundown, when the wind, Is calm. This has been found to be a successful remedy."

No trouble was experienced In getting negroes to work during the night for they like the col nights better than the warm days. The construction forces are using two forces of horses and are hauling the dirt from the ex cavation as fast as the negroes can get It up. Putting on of the night .force was made necessary on account of the na ture of the soli six feet under, the sur face. A kind of sand stone was en countered which made the progress of the work so slow that the contrac tors had to resort to the night work in order to get the building completed on schedule time. The work of dismantling the First National Bank building is being car ried forwar rapidly and the contrac tors announce that as soon as they get the old building out of the way they will use a day and night force to get the excavation dug. . . The novel sight of a half hundred nerroes working nnder the glare of electric lights attracted a great deal of attention. People hearing that night force was to be worked came up street especially to see the sights. " - -- . ' " North Carolina Boys Good 8hots. Newborn.

He has worked for the big sugar companies for years. During that time he received the least possible pay the companies could give him and his fellow workers. He did not receive this pay In money, but In ordera on the company a store for the simple food he ate and the cloth to make the clothes that partly cover bis body. For six months of the year he worked hard forced to sit back and starve while he cane so that he could get busy in the of the peons generally. Zapatista Is an Idea the peons be content until they can get some of does as he promises and I am certain he will do so the peasants will get land for their own. If he does not carry out tha-oeeded reforms and do It promptly he will be forced to fight Zapayi and the Zapatista. "These men have been fighting for Madero and they fought Huerta," MURRAY'S PLEA "Where do members of congress who come to Washington without their. families spend their time at night?" - This question was discussed in the house the Other day by Alfalfa Bill Murray of Oklahoma tn connec tion with the mileage provision of the conference report on the legisla tive bill. Alfalfa Bill insisted that it was the duty of all members to bring their families to Washington with them, and he Insisted that that was why it was desirable -to make a liber al allowance for mileage. .The Oklahoma statesman declared that In the absence of a man's family time was likely to hang heavily on his bands and he would, do more roaming around at night than was good for him. . Alfalfa Bill wanted all members to bave their families with them constantly throughout the sessions In order that they might not grow lonesome. . "Abraham. Lincoln, Daniel Web-. ster, James A. Garfield, William J. Bryan and others all took this allowance when they v re in the house, and who would dare accuse any of them of being grafters," said Mr. Murray. The house rocked with applause as Alfalfa BUI concluded with this statement, "I believe In voting for mileage and tak ing if ' I DOCTOR JORDAN HEADS EDUCATORS mend sex hygiene la the schools, tut ing teachers !ve attention to eiK'a satjacta- as wouia quanry ror insiracwoa in the partlcuUir Col J of aex hye'-se.". r : ''' f t r.:n. i."'.
