THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP.
Greensboro Telegram.

The report that Governor Russell will
resign as Governor, be succeeded by the
LieutenantG Governor, and by him APP
pointed Chief Justice to fill the term of
the late Judge Faircloth, is hardly prob
able. The Raleigh Post urges the Cover
nor to carry out this plan on the ground
that he is the most fit man in his party
in the Eastern part of the State, whence
it is presumed the appointment must
come though why, we do not see. Were
the Governor to do this from the best of
motives he would never get credit for
having done so.

There is no telling, just now, who will
get the appointment but if we had say
about the matter, we would like to see it
go to w. p Bynum, Jr., of Greensboro.
AS a Republican is to get it, we should
say that he is the man, as he is the
best one of the whole crowd.

One thing more is certain; the pri-

They have known it was in the air for
several weeks, but have not known
the exact plan. If the sale should be
consummated and the matter should
be carried INTO the courts, it would be
convenient 10 have Chief Justice who
would affirm the rule and throw the
private stockholders ''out of court.

today An adjournment until Monday was
taken at II o'clock in order to allow conn

almost his entire time was taken up With

DRASTIC TREATMENT OF ADMlRALs
In Olden Times They Were Hung on the
Yard Arm or Thrown Overheard.

In Olden Times They Were Hung on tho
Yard Arm or Thrown Overheard.
In the olden times the treatment
meted out to admirals charged with
disobedience was somewhat more
drastic than It Is to-day. They were
shot on the quarter deck, hung at the
yard arm or thrown overheard.
One OF the most remarkable cases
was that Of Prince Caraccioli, a popu-
lar admiral of the British Navy. He
was charged by Nelson with treachery,
cowardice and disobedience He was
tried by cOurt-martial In 1905 and
found guilty. He was then hung at
the yard arm of his own ship, and af
ter being allowed to swing there for
some time his body was thrown into
the sea. 1t was afterward found that
he was convicted on false testimony.
Hon. John Byng, a British admiral,
was also charged with the same Of
fence. The court-martial acquitted
him Of cowardlce, but decided that he
had not done his utmost when in
charge of the British feet at the siege
Of Minorca. Sentenced to death, he
was taken on the quarter deck of his
own flagship, file of marines drawn
up and Admiral Byng was shot.
One Of the most extraordinary cases
in American naval history, although
1t did not involve an admiral, brought
about the most sensational court-mar-
tial in this country. A commander of

There was talk Of an expedition
against them, but before the military
governor of Panama could secure
suitable ship for the purpose, even
more urgent requests for reinforce
ments were telegraphed across the
Isthmus from Colon. A trainload of
soldiers was shipped over to Colon on
the morning train, and another train
load followed on a freight train at
midday.
At the wharf 1 found the soldiers OF
