Turpentine closed firm at-51%c, with
tbe demand fully equal to the offerings
at this figure For the past few days
A large taker of turpentine has been In
tbe market with the evident intention
Of compelling exporters to pay certain
lrices or lose the stuff. To-day, for
instance. the market was covered by
this buyer at 5112c, and to get the offer
ipgs other buyers were foroea%to pay
the higher price. The large buyer re-
ferred to is the National Tank and Elk
port Company, which successfully came
to the aid of the market last season
when the demand diminished, and kept
the price above low water mark by
absorbing surplus supplies. The COM
pany is an influential factor in creating
a competitive market. Resins closed

PLEA FOR THE DISTRICT
Local Man Should Be APP
pointed Judge.
PRINCIPLE INVOLVED
PECULIAR SYSTEM OF JURIsPRU-
DENCE HERE.
Outside Lawyer Not Familiar With
the Conditions-Other Reasons
Advanced.

speaking OF the necessity for the selection
OF local lawyer for appointment as as
sociate justice Of the Supreme Court of
the District Of Columbia, to succeed the
late justice Bradley, a prominent member
OF the District bar has made the following
statement:
With respect to the 'home-rule' princi-
pie of politics, the reasons for it's applica-
ton in the matter of the appointment of
the late Justice Bradleys successor have
already been cogently stated; and, in con-
nection with those reasons, the ignorance
OF outside lawyers of our peculiar system
of Jurisprudence has been strongly insist
ed upon. The argument presented ought to
be conclusive against the appointment of
an outsider
But there is another point Of view Of
the matter which has not been mentioned
1t is conceded by all that real lawyer
OF Judicial temperament and unqueston-
able integrity is both wanted and required
to properly perform the duties of the posi-
tlon. Real lawyers are noted for their
disabilities and dsqualifications, as we'll
as or those of others. How can the Presi-
dent possibly find such outside real
lawyer who will accept this appointment?
lawyer from outside possibly accept this
position consistently with his own high
principles and those of his profession?
1t is safe to say that none of our pure
ly local high-class lawyers, old or young,
would accept an appointment as judge in
the highest or lowest court Of any state of
the Union, for the unanswerable reason
that he knows that he is not qualified Our
lawyers equal in ability the best elsewhere
In the land In many respects their knoWl-
edge Of Jurisprudence extends far beyond
that of outsiders. We have substantially
all the laws that outsiders have, and much
more with which they have never come in
contact.

the citizens of Purdy. These old
citizens and their friends met to re-

long ago.
"There were hundreds of hearty

through the gathering mist as
friends met for the first time in ten,
fifteen or twenty years. Messages
were read from those who could
not be present, and speeches were
made by men who were leading c1ti-
zens of Purdy forty years ago.
Altogether, the day was a delight
full occasion. An incident which
shows how quickly time heals the
wounds made by difference of
opinion was the cordial greeting OF
men who ten years ago were bitter
ly opposed to each other on the
question of removing the county

A DESERTED VILLAGE.

The following is from an old copy
of the Brownsville Tribune, pub
lished years ago:
THE editor attended a reunion
of former citizens and friends at
Purdy, McNairy County, last
Thursday. Purdy was once pros
porous county seat, Her citizens
were of the noblest and her women
fair and pure as the best. Her To-
cation was an ideal one-the crest
of a sandy ridge, with springs
bursting out at the foot of hill on
either side. In course of time a
railroad came through the country.
The citizens of Purdy did not want
it, and so it did as the Levite-
passed by on the other side. In
course of time the railroad towns
began to draw away the trade and
business from Purdy; then later on
there arose a disposition to move
tee county seat to the railroad.
The struggle went on for twenty
years, and finally the majority won,
but not till Purdy had been starved
into submission. The people prac-
tically boycotted the town and Its
citizens were forced to go else
where. Some went to one place
and some to another. Now they
are scattered to the four winds of
the earth and Purdy is indeed desc
late. Some crumbling brick and
road crossing is all that remains of
the once beautiful public square,
with a neat courthouse IN the CEN
ter and surrounded with prosper
Gus business houses. The magnifi-
cent two-story brick building where
the youth of the county were for
merly educated is now in the center
