The news of Judge r. T. Boykin's re-
signation was received in Durham, where
he is so well known, with many express
sions OF regret Since he has been on the
bench three courts have been held in
Durham county by him. He is noted for
his ability as a lawyer, equanimity OF
temperament, courtesy to all who appear
ed before him and rapid dispatch Of busi-
ness without undue haste. His reslgna- |
ton will be a source Of regret all over
the State In this day when it is so |
hard to get lawyers of ability to go upon |
the bench and shysters are ready to |
make all sorts OF combination to secure |
the prefix of judge to their names it is |
indeed a calamity to lose such man as |
Judge Boykin from the bench.
The Cuban war spirit is abroad in the |
vicinity of Durham. and President Cleve- |
lands position on this important matter, |
as set forth in his message, is the subject |
of much unfavorable and harsh criticism. |
This people are earnestly for Cuban re- |
cognition.
The court house yesterday looked like |
some banquet hall deserted" The office |
seekers who had so persistently and nu-
merously hocked in and about that build |
ing for two days this week had hied them |
selves away, and quiet reigned supreme |
The snow has disappeared, the cold |
wave has gone, and yesterday had more |
the appearance of balmy spring day |
than the 10th of December. The streets
have dried off and now the bicycle riders |
will be out in full A remarkable fall and |
winter thus far, so the Oldest inhabitants |
say.
