NORTH CAROLINA MATTERS.

The Eastern Judgeship-Boom for
Mica in Western Part of State.
From a Washington letter it is
learned that the vacancy in the East
ern Judicial district was incidentally
brought to the Presidents attention n
Monday. He adheres infiexibly to
the policy Of appointing resident of
the district. Senator Pritchard, it is
understood, will submit the names of
Judge Robinson and Mr.. Purnell, and
leave the selection to the Attorney
General and the President. II a Sc
lection is not made, the names of
Chief Justice Faircloth and ex-Judge
Buxton will be submitted.
BOOM FOR MICA.
Congressman Pearson's zeal and in
dustry have again been rewarded in a
very substantial way. The commit
tee on Ways and Means has agreed to
put a duty of 2 cents a pound per
square inch on mica, and what is
equally important, subs titutes specific
for advalorem duties.
Under the advalOrem system mica
Is undervalued in Calcutta at least 75
per cent. of the actual selling price of
The same grade of American mica.
The higher grades Of mica, which are
so abundantly obtaibed in Western
North Carolina, are protected by a
specific duty and with the increased
duty under the Dingley bill the indus
try will rapidly develop in North Car
olina. Professor Holmes, the State
geologlst, and Mr.. Jason Bendeson, a
practical mica miner OF Mitchell
county, both say the contemplated
legislation will open every mica mine
in the State, and add hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the States
resources.
