Supreme Court Justices.

To the Editor: There is being good
deal said about who shall be nominated
by the Democrats for Associate Justices
of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacan-
cies caused by the passing of fusionism.
Those wonderful dissenting opinions of
Judge Clark, which will be good reading
for hundred years to come, and which
will be far more valuable to coming gen.
erations than the decisions of the ma
jority of the court in the same cases, en-
title him to be made Chief Justice. and
/ suppose this will be done without any
dissenting opinion by the people.
For the two positions of Associate JUS
tice. the East and the West are already
bringing out their candidates as usual
forgetting that the State has a middle
section as we'll as an east and west. But
this time, | want to ignore all sectional
lines, and say to the west that if they will
produce a candidate as pure, as upright
as learned and as honest as the east has
nor. then this great middle section will
he satisfied.
Give us men on the bench like Conner,
whose lives are recognized by all men,
and then those people who a few months

respect for the courts, will have no
further cause for complaint

THE PROPER SPIRIT.

Some months ago the Charlotte Obser-
yer, the Greensboro Telegram and the
Greensboro Record published an item of
current news that reflected upon two ex-
cellent citizens of Rockingham county.
They were incensed and brought suit
against all these papers for libel. When
the suit came on for trial, the gentlemen
who had brought the suit became con-
WINGED that the editors publishing the ar
ticle upon which they had brought suit
had no desire to iniure them and had
printed an incorrect report that was in
general circulation. When convinced Of
that fact, the plaintiffs withdrew the suit.
We desire to call attention to this act
as showing the proper spirit. A daily
newspaper no matter how careful, is La
bic to make mistakes. The wonder is,
in the rush and hurry necessary to print
ing a live daily newspaper, that so few
mistakes are made. The Rockingham
gentlemen have taken course that will
be approved by the State.

MISLEADING CROP ESTIMATES.

Big bear cotton houses in New York
and elsewhere are estimating North Car
olina's cotton crop of this year from 575,-
coo to 100000 bales, and with such esti-
mates as these they make the total crop
in the neigliborhood of eleven million
bales. There is not a we'll informed man
cotton grower, cotton merchant. or
anybody else-who believes that the North
Carolina crop will exceed 100000 bales.
a large majority of them believe that the
crop will be nearer $50 900 bales which is
about the estimate made by the Commits
sion of Agriculture two weeks ago.
1t can be readily seen that If these
bear statisticians are as wide of the
mark in other States as they are in
North Carolina, they are estimating the
total crop from one fourth to one third
larger than it really is, and instead OF
eleven or eleven and half million bales
the crop will be nearer nine to nine and
half million bales.
The truth of the matter is that the
Governments report on October 3rd, and
their subsequent weekly bureau reports
are about the most reliable information
on the cotton crop that has yet been pub
lished These reports would indicate a
crop of from s,75O.OO to 1O,25O,OoO bales.

To the Editor: AS continue to re-

my purpose to publish, l trust you will

to the public that / abandoned all idea
Of publishing this history as soon as the
General Assembly. at it's adjourned ses-
sion, passed an act providing for the
publication OF the entire proceedings.
including all the arguments and provid-
ing further for a free copy for each
member of the General Assembly and
each attorney engaged in the trial.
When ! proposed the publication the
State had provided for publishing only
the opening and concluding arguments
on either side, and l thought it desirable
that all of them should be preserved.
The subsequent action of the General
Assembly of course made my private
publication out of the question.
