BOYD IS APPOINTED
United States Judge Western
North Carolina District.
viii Fill Vacancy 0ccasoned by the Rejection
by the Senate Of the Nomination Of
Judge EWart.
Especial to News and Observer }

Washington, d. c., July 12.--Assistant
Attorney General James E. Boyd was to-
day commissioned United States Judge
for the Western district of North Caro-
lima to fill the vacancy caused by the fail
ure of the Senate to act on the nominal
tion of Ewart
The appointment of Col. Boyd is most
favorably commented on here. Without ex-
ception he was one of the most popular
officials under this Administration. The
appointment of COL Boyd at this time is
personal compliment, for it was under
stood at the time Congress adjourned
that the President would not name Judge
Ewart's successor until after the August
election. Senator Pritchard has always
been favorable to Col. Boyd and wanted
him appointed in the beginning, but as
the President expressed a desire to give
the judgeship to Ewart, Senator Pritchard
die not press the matter, but cheerfully
fell in line and worked day and night to
secure Ewarts confirmation, but Butler S
opposition was too powerful, with the re-
suit that Ewarts name was not reported
from the Judiciary Committee.
Colonel Boyd tonight is receiving the
congratulations of his friends. He will
leave for home next week
Judge Boyd is a native of Alamance
county, N. c., and was educated at the
preparatory school at Graham, N. c.,
and at Davidson College. Was a private
soldier in the Confederate army for three
years, and was present at the surrender
at Appomattox. He read law in the Of
fee of the late Hon. Thomas Ruffin at
Graham, N. c., commencing in the year
1866, and was licensed in June, 1868. In
April, 1883, he removed to Greensboro
N. c., where he has since resided In
June, 1880, was appointed by President
Hayes United States Attorney for the
western district of North Carolina, which
position he held until JCne, 1885.
Colonel Boyd has taken a prominent
part in Republican politics and is now
a member of the Republican National
Committee from his State.

CONFIDENCE IN EX-GOVERNOR JARVIS
He Speaks in Davie and Wins Many Votes For
the Amendment

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Mocksville, N. c., July lon yester-
day, at Center, few miles out from
Mocksville, there was one of the greatest
and most enthusiastic political gather
ings in the history of Davie county.
1t was the day on which Gov. Jarvis
was to speak. BY the time that he began
speaking there had at least 1 800 people
gathered under the large harbor to hear
this man who they knew had done more
for their good while Governor of the
State than any other man since the days
of Vance. The discussing of the vital
question which confronts the people of
North Carolina by a man who is uninter-
ested as regards the seeking of office, and
in whom the people have the most i'm
plcit confidence, was obliged to convince
those who heard him that the trashy ar
gument put out to the ignorant white
people of Davie county by the Republic
can party was absurd on the face of it,
and many went away saying that they
had then and there decided to support
the amendment, and that they had for
ever turned their backs upon the Re-
publican lies which had been thrown out
to them as bait to their ignorance
For two hours Gov. Jarvis spoke to the
vast audience in such a plain, logical
and pure style as to win the peoples
confidence and esteem, and the question
was expounded in such simple and log
ical way as to make plain, even to the
most ignorant, that no white man would
be injured by supporting the amendment,
but that all white men must undoubtedly
be benefited.
At two o'clock Ed. Call, Esq, of Texas,
spoke to the people for an hour and a
half. Mr.. Call is a prominent lawyer of
Texas, who is here on a visit to his faith
er. Mr.. Call could speak to the people
as one who had studied the practical
working of the proposed amendment in
Louisiana and Mississippi, and his was a
taking speech.
Davie county is stirred as never be-
fore, and the Republicans are on the
run.
Hon. T. B. Bailey, chairman of county
executive committee, deserves great
credit for the fight which he is waging

order to accomplish even what has been done already it was necessary to construct at a great expense, a pipe line from the San Pedro, four miles distant, and even then the water sup ply was not sufficient to enable the re- duction works to run more than half the time.
 Everyone will therefore be interested in the news received here yesterday by Professor George A. Treadwell that seemingly ineXhaustible supply of wa ter has been struck in the bottom of the Cobre Grande shaft, at the depth of 200 feet. His advices are that two six-inch pumps have been running con- tinuously for eight days and there seems to be no lowering of the water level.
 The full value of this water supply caDN be appreciated only by those fla miliar with the property. Such a quan- tity of water might he considered a detriment, rather than an advantage, were 1t not for the fact that the com pany owns several mines adjacent that are believed to be equally as good as the Cobre Grande. and if necessary it can afford to turn the present shaft into well to furnish a water supply for the other mines, though this is hardly probable at present.
 The Cobre Grande is situated on lower level than the surrounding prop critics, and even if it should drown the present workings there is no alarm that the same fate would overtake the development of the adjoining proper ties This shaft is situated close to the furnace, and will require little pip ing and there will be practically no eX- pense except pumping.
