DEATH OF ROBERT o. BURTON.

NJ. Robert o. Burton, one o. the
ablest lawyers in the State, died in
Raleigh about l o'clock last Friday
morning. His final illness was short
and the announcement of his death
was 4 great surprise and shock to hi.
friends.
Mr.. Burton had long and severe
attack OF typhoid fever last summer,
from the effects of which he never
fully recovered. About a month ago
malarial fever set in. On Christmas
eve he was taken to the hospital,
where he died, a congestive chill
being pronounced the immediate
cause of death
Mr.. Burton was ~ years of age and
was son of the late Rev. Robert o.
Burton, 4 noted Methodist preacher.
He was born and reared in Halifax
county. He was educated at Ran
dolph- Macon College, from which he
was graduated with high honors. He
studied law under the late Edward
Conigland, Esq, of Halifax, and be-
came his partner, He went to Rich
mond and p'aeticed law a year or
two, living at Ashland, and from
there he removed to Raleigh in 1891.
Mr.. Burton had large practice and
was considered one of the very ablest
all-round lawyers in North Carolina.
He was a man Of scholarly attain
ments and erudite manner. modest
and unassuming. a genial, noble gen
tleman and Christian. A strong
man has fallen and the State and the
profession he adorned are the poorer
for his passing away.

suit OF long attack Of fever last spring.
the congestive chill which was the i'm
mediate cause OF death could not be sue
cessfully resisted He was one of the
ablest of counsel in the recent Gattis-
kilgo trial and made an eloquent plea
for his clients 1.-THE defendants) although
at the time he was suffering greatly from
an attack of sickness.
The newly formed organization OF local
newspaper men here have declined to
change the name of the social club
(''Ananias") to which objection was
made by some of the charter members.
At n meeting held few evenings since
the action taken was very decided and re-
vealed the fact that OF the dozen members
present only two or three favored the
change. 1t is stated that three or four
gentlemen. connected with the religious
press, will probably withdraw from the
club as a consequence. The very i'm
pudence of the name Fortified of course
by the fact that it is known of all men
that newspapers do not lie, unless unwit-
tingly or when imposed upon by out
.iders) seemed to appeal successfully to
the majority; and as it is purely a social
organization it will probably ''smell as
sweet with that name as another-as if
yclept the ''Rose-mary'' Favored by some)
for instance.
The North Carolina Association OF
Academies held it's fourth annual session
here the last three days of last week. and
was well attended, with President John
E. Kelly, OF Moore county, presiding, and
q score of we'll known educators among
those present.
Some OF the newspapers OF the State
flushed an entire ''covey" of young as
pirants for appointive Offices when they
sat down upon the nepotic ambition of
elective officers to install other members
of their families into office wherever pos
sible-tO appropriate, so to speak the
''soft berths' for the benefit OF their
''blood kim and family RELATIVES" about

sight. happen to know Gf we ''happen"
to such things nowadays) of several
young gentlemen with more ambition
than industry who will not adorn the
cushioned seats that had been selected
for them-and they do not wear short
pants, either.
The result is just right. There has been
entirely too much of this sort of business
in North Carolina heretofore. in Demo-
cratic circles as well land even more SOY
as in Republican and Populistic.
Time arrived long ago when the bright
and deserving boys whose daddies did
not hold public office should have been
given better chances; and most of us are
now glad to observe that they are prob
ably to get their innings. LLEWXAM.

RUSSELL FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.

Editorially the Raleigh Post of yes
terday says this anent the appoint
ment of a successor to Chief Justice
Faircloth:
"a Chief Justice is to be appointed
to fill vacancy. The law requires it.
There are no two opinions that we
have yet heard, as to the pre-eminent
ability of Governor Russell over every
member Of his party in Eastern Caro-
lima, to which the selection is limited,
for the position.
That he should resign his present
office but a few days before the expira-
ton of his term to accept the APP
urally embarrassing, of course, but
the exigencies of the occasion are
peculiar, and should 60 far toward
relieving the situation. Not only
party considerations, but the ques-
ton of fitness for the position to be
filled are involved. AS Democrats we
cannot complain of our political enc
mics for holding every advantage
that legitimately falls to them. The
DoulOCIdlS WOulu uO Luo same uuucT
similar or any circumstances. The
choice of successor to the late Chief
Justice being limited to his party, and,
also, to the Eastern section of the
State as announced, then the qualifi-
cations Of the party to be chosen
must be considered, and is all that is
left to be considered.
And it is just here that we say
without reserve that the duty of the
Governor comes in. That duty is to
resign his present position and ac-
cept the appointment to the vacant
chair"
Whatever may be said of Governor
Russell's partisanship no one will
question his ability or doubt that in
point of legal learning there is per-
haps no man of his party in the State
his superior.
But we very much doubt if the
Governor will in this way make him
self Chief Justice.

Immediately after the ceremony the
bridal party, together with the as

it was most enjoyable occasion, and
the bride and groom have many
friends who wish them all happiness.
They received a number of handsome

The Constitution wants good agents
everywhere. Men who will get out and
canvass and hustle for new business
Many who have to go over their own and
adjoining counties on business can take
the Constitution along as the best side

rural route mail carriers, nursery men,
farmers and good wOrkmen, could all
realize among these prizes and make their
commission besides. A fair salary propo-
stiOn for any man.

with the agricultural masses of the
South, and in having reached a circuia-

it has won an unique distinction which
ranks it among the greatest American

The Constitution will send sample

Every man should take his county
