SOME RIDICULOUS NOMINATIONS.

The Republican party, going to the peo-
pie on the score of the ''cleanness' and
the ability of its administration, has
made itself even more ridiculous by the
nominees which it presents to the peo-
pie in this campaign.
This is noticeably SO in the matter OF
the Superior Court judges, where the
supply is of such class that the nomi-
nations are the veriest shanhs and pre-
fences 1t is at least to be supposed
that men of some practice and experience
the Republicans have not even done this.
Take the nominee in the Thirteenth
District, for instance. His name is R. Fl.
Mcneil, of Ashe. He has barely got
over the scare of standing his examina-
ton to practice law and in all probability
has never had a case. He is Senator
Pritchard's clerk and has only been an
attorney for some two or three years.
That is one case. Here is another, in
the way of a duet. In the Sixteenth
Judicial District the regular nominee Of
the party is Dean Sisk, brandy guager
and an immature lawyer, who might
measure up to the responsible duties of a
Constable. He was regularly nominated,
but in the shuttle at the State Convention
his name got lost and when the result
Of Drf Mt
machine. 10 and behold the name of Dean
Sisk. the gauger had changed to that Of
the Rev. Baylus Cade. the preacher
whose license to practise law is but few
years old His cases have been few, and
it would take the widest stretch OF
imagination to think of the Reverend as
one skilled in the law
That is a sample of the lot which has
in it the names of o. B. f. Blythe, of
Henderson county, and c. d. Mashburn,
of Madison, men who have never set
even their own little bailiwicks afire
with legal lore.
Contrast that set of nominees with
men like NJ. H. Justice, Charles M. Cooke
and the other gentlemen who comprise
the names of the Democratic choice
which offers to the people men of pro-
found legal learning, recognized by all
parties as men most eminently fit to
adorn the bench of the State.
The contrast is startling one, and it
shows in what plight the Republicans
are placed. The nominations made by
them descend to the ridiculous and are
not worthy of more than a huge laugh
from Murphy to Manteo.

nominee for Congress in that district, in
an awkward position by declining to name
candidate against him, this will be
wiped off the board today when Mr.. Page

a hot fight against Republicanism and
show no quarter. He stands on every
plank of the Democratic platform and
the Republicans can not escape his com
ing attacks upon them by any such soft

Not So Interesting.

Empire played very good ball last Sun
day until she went up in the air and
fonnd she had no parachute so she stayed
up. During the early part of the game
the boys from the land where the true
assures are said to exist were crossing the
plate pretty rapidly, but soon stopped
and then 1t was runaway for the local
boys. The game was not characterized
by any particularly brilliant playing on
either side, and was not as interesting as
the game put up on the Sunday previous.
Next Sunday tomorrow the South
Denver lads will come up and ask to be
tucked nicely in their little beds. We
hope the boys will tuck them there, but
it may be that our own fellows will be the
first to get sleepy. South Denver claims
that Idaho will not have "look-in."
Watch the returns. The results of last
Sundays game are told by the following

SCHOOL NOTES.

/
Commencement comes this year on Fri
day, June 40.
If you want TO know how pleased the
pupils are at the prospects of a new
building, just ask someone from the sew
enth or the eighth grade.
The High school girls are organizing
baseball team, and as soon as they have
practiced a little they are going after
trail City had better look out.
Wednesday noon, Howard Dunaway,
while jumping hurdles had had the mis-
fortune to trip, and in falling broke his
right forearm just above the wrist. DR..
Shaut set the injured member and at this
writing the arm seems to be doing we'll
May 80 this year comes on Friday, a
fact which suits school people generally.
A number of pupils are planning to go
to Boulder on High School day, May II.
The proposed fare for the round trip is
81 IS, and is cheaper than the round trip
to Denver. A number of the business
men are thinking this is just the oppor-
tunity they have been looking for, to go
over and see the Boulder oil fields.
The pupils, high and low, big and lit
tie, girls and boys, are practicing for
Field day. The three-legged race, the
girls straightaway and the relay races
caused no end of fun.
Last Friday the High school boys and
the eighth grade nine played their sec
ond game of ball. The High school play
ers took along a number of their strong
lunged sisters to root for them and fur
nished them with transportation down
and back, lest the girls should leave them
if the game happened to grow dull.
There was ierceness of eye and a stern
ness of demeanor about the High school
boys that BODIED i'll for the eighth grad
ers. But the latter were game too, and
the playing on both sides was better and
had more snap to it than it had the week
before.
Gus and enthusiastic, and if noise could
have beaten the High school they wodld
not have scored at all. The High school
girls did so much and such effective yell
ing that the grade rooters finally organ
lied a band, getting their instruments
from the heaps of abandoned tinware
that grow so abundantly in that vicinity.
The leaders of this impromptu musical
organization were: Willie Oliver, tea
kettle drum John Hart, stove pipe tuba;
Robert Wall, tomato can rattle box, and
others too numerous to mention.
The musicians ratified their instruments
so vigorously that they finally began to
rattle the boys for whom they were root
ing, and at the request of the latter the
band ingloriously disorganized and the
members contented themselves with vo-
cal roofing.
The game closed with a score of II to
2I in favor of the High school, and the
happy victors rode back to town making
the welkin ring with
