THE COUNTY COURT.
List Of Judges Appointed TO Conduct
the August EIectiOn-The Order
with ReferenEe to the Ra-
leigh Railroad.

At the county quarterly court on yes
terday the question Of selecting COM
missioner to hold the August county
election in place of the sheriff and cOTo-
ner, who are rendered incompetent 70
hold said election by reason OF their be-
ing candidates Tor reelection, came up
for consideration. The county court
elected Mr.. Ed Worsham as commits
sioner for that purpose.
The next thing was the selection OF
judges of election.
Judge Henry G. Smith was present,
and made quite lengthy speech 10 IA
vor of permitting a committed imposed
of three or five citizens, representing the
Republican and Democratic parties, to
select such judges, or revise the list Of
Judges made out, go that the Republic
cans could have judges at each precinct
throughout the county.
Ex-Governor Harris spoke in oppOsi-
ton TO this proposition, claiming that
the selection OF judges ought not to be
left to political parties, but that the
court had the power and right to make
such selections or appointments.
This argument was enforced by Coun-
ty-Attorney Taylor and by several OF
the justices present. One Of the justices
court was not political court, and that
the court would make such appoint
ments irrespective of the wishes or die
tation of parry manipulators.
The following list Of judges Of election
was made out and selected by the IUrt
for the different districts OF the county:
