Leaders like Senator Simmons and Senator Overman urged caution on appointing judges past a certain age as discussions focused on Justice Cas, Judge Long, and Judge Allen while the White House policy on federal appointments drew attention. Farmers anticipate a large state convention at A.M. College August 26-27 with varied sessions, field demonstrations, and a free concert, and taxation work continues as the corporation tax assessments proceed statewide.

State Highways Report Details Toll Roads and Deterioration
A new state issued report by geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt outlines seven principal toll roads in North Carolina including Jefferson, Lenoir Blowing Rock, Blowing Rock Boone, Yonahlessee, Kanuga, Junalaska, and Crest of the Blue Ridge highway. It notes the Jefferson turnpike, largely state owned and built by convicts, is rapidly washing away with little repair, prompting calls to transfer state stock to private interests. The report also mentions political resistance from state officials to such transfers and covers a July 23 social event and local notices.
