wick, to Whom lie Had rendered

after the Governor received a telegram
from Judge Joseph w. Bennett of
Brunswick, declining to accept the APP
pointment. Judge Bennett was tend
cred the appointment this morning, and
at that time it was believed he would
accept, but this afternoon the Governor
received a telegram from Judge Ben
nett, thanking him for the honor of
rendering him the appointment, but
declining, for business reasons, to ac-
cept it.
Judge Benefits Regrets.
Judge Bennett wired his regrets that
the circumstances now surrounding
him require that he decline the honor.
Upon receipt Of that telegram Gov.
Terrell wired Mr.. Turner, rendering
him the appointment.
The Governor asked Mr.. Turner sew
eral weeks ago if he would consider
an appointment to the Supreme Bench,
because at that time Justice Lumpkin
notified the Governor that he intended
to resign. At the Governors request,
Justice Lumpkin agreed to withhold
his resignation until the Governor
could arrange to have a conference
with Mr.. Turner through friends and
ascertain if he would accept the ap-
pointment. The foregoing explains the
following telegram, which the Cover
nor sent to Mr.. Turner this afternoon:
The Governors Tender.

on account of physical indisposition to
allow me to consider you for the po-
! sition of associate justice of the SUI
preme Court. learn with great pleas
ure that your health has greatly i'm
| proved recently, and 1 sincerely trust

which 1 now tender you, to fill the va
cancy on the bench occasioned by the
death of Judge Lumpkin.
y. NJ. Terrell"
The Governor received a telegram
from Mr.. Turner tonight, saying he
would take the matter under consid-
Grafton and would probably let him

Law Firm.

already aggregating 100000, and like
ly to be increased to a larger amount

clerk and trusted bookkeeper in the
office of one of the wealthiest law
firms in this city and is under 80 years
old. Shrewd real estate men, bankers
and lawyers, unknowingly helped him
to carry out his schemes.
The clerks employers have known

dered. 1t was invested in legitimate
business enterprises, ostensibly for IAN

Atlantic Highlands, N. J., July 21.-
After her narrow margin Of victory
yesterday, Sir Thomas Lpton's new
challenger for the nautical blue ribbon
was again in racing trim to-day and
trimmed her trial horse by SO minutes,
II seconds in twenty mile race.
Much of her big victory was due to a
fiuke. in which she covered miles of
water, while Shamrock hung idle in a
calm. Another thing which the sail
crs say brought good luck to the new
boat was that Sir Thomas. after
watching the race from the Erin for
several days, sailed to-day on the
challenger. Her crew declares that he
rarely fails to bring good luck.

Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure Is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly YOU can make no mistake by
taking Dir. Kilner's Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scaldipg pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,

II stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
