BOYD TO BE u. S. SENATOR
REPUBLICANS TO SUPPORT RUS
SELL AS BUTLER'S sue
CESSOR IN u. S. SENATE.
C. A. COOK TO BE DISTRIcT-ATToRNEY
Moody is to be Assistant Attorney General and
Grant is to Get His Coveted Place
as Sergeant at Arms of
the Senate.

Especial to the Richmond Dispatch.)
Washington, ID. c., Oct. ia Re
publican deal is on that promises to turn
North Carolina politics upside down, and
Ill-health and old age have incapacitated
Judge Dick for active work on the bench,
and it is only a question of weeks when
he will be compelled to retire from the
judgeship of the North Carolina Dis
trict. Recently he intimated his de-
sire to retire at once upon condition of
the appointment of Senator Pritchard as
his successor. The Senator, it is said,
is agreeable to the change, provided
Governor Russell will appoint Assistant
Attorney General Boyd to succeed him.
This is undertood to be agreeable to
the Governor, upon condition that G. A.
Cook is appointed United States District
Attorney for the Eastern District of
North Carolina, and that Russell is
pledged the support of the Republican
organization to succeed Butler.
If the deal is consummated, the Hon.
John l.. Moody will succeed Assistant
Attorney General Boyd, and H. l..
Grant will be made Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Senate.
GOOD SCHEME, SAYS BOYD.
Asked about the matter to-day, As
sisitant Attorney General Boyd said it
was a good scheme, and that it would
harmonic and solidify the party in the
State, provided the changes in contem-
plation were made simultaneously. He
was not prepared to say whether the
arrangement could be effected or not.
1t was upon the assurance that the
scheme was feasible, all parties interest
ed having intimated an agreement, that
Mr. C. A. Cook recently visited Wash
ington. He saw the President with re-
ference to his appointment as District
Attorney, and left the White House
with very friendly message from the
President to Attorney General McKenna
The Attorney General was uncommonly
gracious, agreeing cheerfully that Mr.
Cooks appointment was desirable
thing, provided certain political con
siderations" should be removed, and
that matters would soon be satisfactorily
adjusted.
Assistant Attorney General Boyd has
been assigned to the Supreme Court, and
was today presented to the court by
Solicitor General Richards.

JUDGE DICKS SUCCESSOR.

Yesterdays Washington Post said
"A group of North Carolina politicians
in the National last night was discuss
ing the probabilities of the early retire
ment of United States District Judge
Robert Z. Dick, of that State. Judge
Dick is now considerably past the age
for retiring, and it is thought that he will
resign ere long, as his health has not
been the best recently. 1t is believed by
good many people that United States
Senator Pritchard would prefer to have
the Judgeship than to serve out his term
in the Senate. The report is that Mr..
Pritchard has really made up his mind
that the bench would suit him better
than his present office. If the Senator
is correctly represented in this there is
no reason to doubt that he can have the
place on the resignation of Judge Dick,
for the standing of the former at the
White House is above par.
I'm the event that Senator Pritchard
does not look with favor on the idea of
leaving his present office for any other,
and the vacancy occurred, it is highly
probable that the new Federal Judge
would be Assistant Attorney General
James Il. Boyd, who also stands high
with the administration, and who is one
of the most accomplished lawyers in the
Old North State"

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, exhaust
ed feeling prevails, when the liver is tor
pid and sluggish and the need of tonic

this medicine has often averted long
and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in counter
acting and freeing the system from the

WRITING A BOOK.

Congressman Martin Says the Best Ele-
ment of The Republican Party Is
Gravitating Toward Populism.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch says:
"Populist- Congressman Martin, of
North Carolina, who has been under
medical treatment here since the ad-
journment of Congress, will return home
this week. Speaking of the political
situation in North Carolina, he said the
Populist party is gradually absorbing
the best element of the Republican party,
and in the next election and thereafter
it will be the majority party in the State.
Governor Russell, he says, is a Populist
at heart, and will soon make an open
declaration of his allegiance to the Popu-
list party. Mr.. Martin is writing a
book and after his present term in Con-
gress he expects to devote his whole
time to literary work.

BASE BALL.
Amateur Mines in the City Preparing
for Coming Season.
Cony High Will Have Strong Teams Gram
mar School Will Organize.

Amateur base bah will have a greater
| boom than ever, this season, and the
boys are more than eager to get into
the game. As soon as the fields get

ers viii be out as usual hustling to get
some position where they will have a
chance to distinguish themselves.
Amateur base ball in this city dur
ing the spring term of school. has al
ways brought cut teams almost With
cut number, and this spring promises
to be no exception. Among the strong
est, of course, is the Cony High school
team, and the second class mines, which
have contests among themselves for
the supremacy. Then there is always
a picked nine which can be depended
upon to make UP in heavy hitten'.,
what it may lack in the more exquisite
grand-stand work.
The Cony High boys say their team
win be one of the strongest for years.
That's what they always say. for that
matter, for they are the kind that step
out with the best foot forward, every
time. However, they have an album
dance of material, and it looks very
much as if they might make some of
the other teams very much discouraged
before the season was over.

and the boys who are away will all be
home from their vacation, and ready
for organization. The captain, w, L.
