RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 27.-Sena-
tor Pritchard. who came to Raleigh
quite Unexpectedly, left for Wash
ington this morning He goes to
Canton in a few days to see Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t is understood
that he will push Col. James Boyd,
Of Greensboro, for position in the
Cabinet, as the Southern representa-
tive.
An agreement had been made to
hold up the impeachment resolutions
of Judge Norwood, with the under
standing that Judge Norwood
should send conditional resigna-
ton to Governor Russell at once,
which was to be withheld so long as
he remained sober. The resignation
was to have arrived yesterday. 1t
did not come, but instead came the
news that Norwood was on another
spree. It's probable that the Judge
would have been allowed to continue
on the bench, had it not been for
his spree in Charlotte, and his ina
bility TO hold Union county court at
Monroe this week
The resolutions will now be push
ed and he will be impeached as soon
as is practicable
