TO SUCCEED NORWOOD
THE POSITION WILL PERHAPS

HE is AN tx BUNCOMBE DEMOCRAT
Judge Norwood's Resignation IS in the Hands

Position but Declined it.

And so Judge Norwood walks the
plank. His resignation is in the hands
of the Governor, and his position has
been rendered to and declined by Col.
V. S. Lusk, of Asheville.
A reliable report comes from Asheville,
and it is practically confirmed here, that
the judgeship will be rendered to Eugene
Douglass Carter, of Buncombe, who will
doubtless accept the position. The pros
pective appointee, prior to the Mckinley
campaign, was pie-eating Democrat, of
the Xxi Gudger kind. He preceded Xxi
into the Republican camp, and will now
enjoy with him the pie which they both
have earnestly coveted.
Judge Norwood, it is said by many, is
an able lawyer, and when he was him
self, made u good judge. He falls Il
victim of Il most unfortunate weakness,
and is the wrecker of his own hopes
and author of his own undoing. 1t is
but charitable to sympathize whether it
be folly or weakness or both.
What has prompted the declination of
Col Lusk does not yet appear, us it has
been thought that he was candidate
for the judgeship in the event of Nor
woods removal or resignation.
Perhaps he is epecting a bigger place
from Washington.

WHOLESALE GROCERs MEET.
Seventh Annual Convention in Session
at Chattanooga.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 16-The
Seventh annual convention of the
Southern Wholesale Grocers Associa-
ton, met at Lookout Inn to-day. Presi-
dent T.. G. Leigh. of Richmond, Va.
presided. About 300 delegates, repre-
senting all the Southern States, are
present. In his annual report Presi-
dent Leigh dwelt at length upon the
cutting in prices on roasted coffee, and
recommended the quality plan for sell
Ing coffees in the Southern States.

able plan for handling it. The reports
of the secretary and treasurer show the

condition. A committee were appointed
on the regulation of trade in snuff, roast
ed and green coffee, sugar, crackers and
cakes, and local associations. At to-
morrow's session, the annual election of
officers will take place. Saturday the
