side another man went up to him and
fired four shots into his body. He chased
the shooter, who ran down Twentieth

yards and then returned to the car. He
identified Moran as the man who did the
clubbing and Buckley as the one who
fired the four shots. He was subjected
to long and severe cross-examination,
but his evidence was not shaken in any
material point.
Erline, his daughter. who is IA years OF
age, positively identified Buckley as the
man who fired the four shots, but she
could not identify Moran. She said that
Buckley was hanging on to the pole in
front of her and lady and when the
car reached Twentieth street the lady
poked Buckley in the back, as he was
in her way of getting off. She poked him
a second time and he turned around and
Scowled at her. She saw a man clubbing
another man and Buckley jumped off the
car and fired four shots at the man who
was dubbed and knocked down. Her
cross-examination will commence this
morning.

Favors Capt. PEBBLES For Judge.

To the Editor: In naming judge for
the Second Judicial District, if Governor
Aycock will carefully consider the claims
of Captain r. 3. PEBBLES, of Northampton,
there is no doubt that the judgeshp
will be rendered to Northampton's fa-
yorite son. Captain PEBBLES is a lawyer
of ripe experience, a man without preju-
dice or bias and he will make a con-
scientious, upright judge, Cne in whose
hands the scales of justice will always
evenly balance. He will add lustre to
the bench and be an honor to his high call
ing. In every campaign he has been in
the thickest Of the fight, has always been
a true Democrat, patriot and loyal
citizen. He has given freely of his means
to aid the cause of White Supremacy and
no sacrifice is too great for Captain
PEBBLES when his country calls upon him.
Some years ago he was the strongest
candidate before the convention here, and
could have been nominated for Judge of
the Superior court then but for a miscal-
culation on the part of one of the dele
gates. He did not sulk, however, but went
heart and soul into the campaign and
helped to elect the ticket. Last year
he was one of the strongest candidates
before the Congressional convention at
Godsboro After an all nights session,
and in order to preserve party harmony
he withdrew his name and pledged his
hearty support to the successful candi
date He aided in every possible way to
make victory complete both at the August
and the November elections. He is en-
dorsed by the bar Of Halifax and of
Northampton for the vacant judgeship. If
left to the popular vote of the district he
would have a tremendous majority. Able,
conservative, learned in the law, a gen
tleman of great magnetism and having
the unanimous support of the people of
Halifax, Northampton, and possibly War
rem, the Governor can make no mistake
by extending the appointment to Captain
Robert b. PEBBLES, of Northampton coun-
ty.
