LOOK MORE DIGNIFIED.
supreme Court Justices Requested 10 Wear
Judicial Robes.

The lawyers of the State seem to de-
sire to see the Justices OF the supreme
Court assume a more d~ignifed and az
gust appearance on the bench. They
want the justices TO wear judicial gowns
IS we'll as Solomon-like c-ountenances
and judicial t-emperaments. They want
them to display in their garments the
outward and visible signs Of the grace
that is.within them.
Therefore on yesterday ]. Crawford
Biggs, Of Durham, addressed the FOL
lowing open letter to the court:
To the Honorable Chief Justice and
Associate Justices of the supreme
Court of North Carolina.
Gentlemen: I beg TO bring to your
attention the following resolution, which
vas adopted by the Bar Association OF
North Carolina at its last annual ses-
and is found in the printed pro
ceedings Of the session Of 1902, vol. I,
Dage 81, to-wit:
Resolved, that it is the opinion Of
this association that the judges OF the
Supreme Court Of the State ought TO
wear robes while sitting upon the bench
in the discharge of their official duties,
and the association requests the court
to adopt such rules as may be neces-
earv to carry into effect this recon-
mendation.'
"Respectfully submitted,
j. CRAWFORD BIGGS,
"Secretarv of n. G. Bar Association.

Representative King, CT Pitt, Opposes Fdrca-

A meeting Of citizens Of G~reenVille met

Writing Of the meeting and Of his up-
position to Governor Jarvis, Editor King
says:
1--WE hate to scratch a ticket. But we
must do it. We cannot vote for Governor
Jarvis. He does not represent the senti-
ments Of the white people on education
He was nominated only after several bal
lots and few more than half the number
were present that participated in the first
ballot. He said he would stump
the State against any measure looking
to a division Of the school money in more
accordance to taxes paid. He has par
~ticipated in more than one "benef1t' and
then in the hour Of need washed his
hands" of the matter and left his friends
with the bag to hold. We have nothing
to conceal. We speak plain. We cannot

cone thing urged for his nomination
was very misleading. And we believe
it gave him the nomination. It was op-
emily stated that he had $4,000 which he
would give to the school if he was a
trustee. The fact is that he holds a check
for So. 900 from a New York gentleman,
for the proposed hospital. If the hospital
is not built, the money goes to the
schools. Any of Us could give money that
way.
"And now, gentlemen, didn't that hurt
the hospital movement more than any
thing else?"

Sales.

Sheep-Receipts. $50; shipments small The
ceipts of sheep and lambs this week have been
OF only fair volume. but about twice as large
last week. 500 smaller than the same week
year ago and nearly 400 larger than the CORE
spending week two years ago. The receipts thus
far this year are 500 smaller than the same time
last year and the receipts for the month thus
far little over go smaller than the
period last year. From the beginning Of the
week there was quite strong demand from
shippers account Of the more favorable con-
ditions existing in Eastern markets. and they
advanced prices to such extent and were such
strong buyers that local butchers were virtually
shut out of the market. The market at the high
time in the week represented advance of at
least &c in average prices compared with the
close of last week. and In not few instances
sales appeared around SOC higher. The latter
part of the week the shipping demand not
quite SO good, but local butchers were wanting
to replenish their supplies and there an
outlet for all that offered at quotably
steady prices. The highest sales of the week
were Sc. 30 for lambs and s. for sheep The re-
ceipts to-day were little larger than usual at
this time in the week. but by means excessive.
and with a steady demand from local sources the
trading was reasonably active and clearance
made in season at steady prices. Lambs sold
as high s6.25 and inferior to decent kinds
sold from Sc to IS. Culls to good sheep sold from
81 to $4 Quotations.
