Special Judge. On train we met
Lee Congleton, of Lexington. He
has sold his interest in the lumber
firm of Sullivan d Congelton to
gentlemen from Torrent, and has
forrped partnership with his
brother, Judge j. w, Congleton,
of Campton. About January l
they will open yard in Lexington.

tile sitting in hack headed for
~syest Liberty we saw a stranger
Sa,Apresching We remembered the
bottle, so asked him if man could
buy some whiskey at Caney. Yes
said he, within 40 rods Of here
pointing BEHIND US. We replied:
We are going to West Liberty, is
there any in this direction. No
said he. He passed but in few
seconds returned and proposed to
go with us for the whiskey. We
appreciated his kindness but de-
clined as we NEVER drink now and
have not for less than 80 years.
We were only observing.

80 At West Liberty on Thursday
he was being congratulated on his
success. In the bank at Caney on
Friday we heard him say, in speak
ing of his race, that his "mOney
and whiskey" had won the race
We did not doubt the truthfulness
of what he said, bat exceedingly
regretted to know that he used
such means 10 secure a nomination
and were surprised that he would
publicly admit the fact especially
AS he was not THEN oa oath. We
could say more, but refrain.
Will the time come when men,
who aspire to positions of honor
and trust, will cease to use such |
means in securing nominations and
elections2 How dark and forbod-

VIII Sue to Enforce Bet.

P1ttsburg, Pa, November Thames
S. Lalus. of this city, has announced
that unless Director Harry Moore. of
the Department of Public Safety, shall
sign aper NIT to allow Joseph Dain to
roll peanut two squares with his nose
that he will ask damages of the CITY.
Lalus Won this freak election bet
from Dain, but orders against paying
on freak election bets in public have
been issued. Lalus took legal advice
this morning and found that he might
have the peanut rolled on a parade
license, so he applied for the latter
licensed in which he announced that 2
peanut rolled by the nose of Dain
would be one of the attractions. The
permit was made out but Director
moore refused TO sign it, saying it
was plain attempt TO evade police
ruling. Lalus says the permit must be
issued tomorrow or he will insist on
his rights at law-that of giving a ma
rade.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Many papers throughout the entire
south, dalnes and weeklies had a grea.
zeal TO say against Mr.. Roosevelt.
Many of these are now fastening t1
discover reasons why thew shou13
prarise rather than censure him.-Tha
Robesonian.
we take it that those papers see a
difference between Mr. Roosevelt as \
candidate for the presidency and as
president OF the United States-anj
with no idea of toadying to the success
1uI candidate. One was a political Of
nee seeker. The other represents the
dignity of the office of president of the
onlted States. Mr.. Roosevelt has been
elected president for four years. What
is the use of keeping UP the political
night against him? His official acts
are open to criticisms and we suppos.
me papers referred to will exercise
their privilege of criticisfng them. but
We 90 not see that anything can ne
gained by personal abuse of him or
that such is necessary to prove the true
democracy of the paper.

CRUMs FIFTH APPoINTyfEN-r

We see from the Raleigh pn~,s
Washington correspondence that the
president is determined that Crum shall
be collector of customs at Charleston.
1t IS said that his appointment Will ba
sent to the senate in a day or two.
! This VIII make the fifth time Presi
dent Roosevelt has made this noniaa-
ton Each time heretofore the senate
has adjourned without action on IL. th.s
democratic senators being able to rre-
vent the senate taking action. Thez
gave notice on every appointment th.,
! they were prepared to discuss the mat
ter indefinitely. and under what .
known as senatorial courtesy they were
| able to prevent the senate coming to
vote, by declaring that they Were not
through with the discussion. Tbev
knew that If the matter ever came 10
| a vote the nomination would be con-
firTned. They were in hope that afte-
repeated failures on the part of the
president to secure confirmation OF his
appointee he would send in the name
OF some other person. This is the uspsl
custom. but Mr.. Roosevelt is as deter
mined as they are and will not Civ.
in to the prejudice against Crum.
1t is said the democratic senator's :, III
no longer fight the proposition 20 con-
flrm the new nomination when sent IN
Senator Tillman is quoted as saving
that he realizes further opposition In
be useless. though he and the peonIe
he represents are as much opposed to
the nomination as ever. so he and the
other senators in opposition will simply
register a protest and allow a vote 70
De taken. which, of course, will he in
favor of confirmation.

white men who were convicted of beng
Fasrants. They claimed to be telegraph
operators from Richmond seekinr

them the full limit of the law. These

Some enterprising Bismarckers
started a boom for Turtle Lake by
making a supposed preliminary
survey for a railroad to that point
in the dead of winter, and many
Bismarckers who were supposed to
be wise and on the inside, made
trips to the Lake which created
considerable suspicion among GER.
tain Wasburnites. In connection
with the boom, the Times suggests
that there is unlimited wealth for
those who get to Turtle Lake quick
with a barrel of money.
The County Commissioners re-
solved that the county proceed to
erect a suitable court house to cost
not to exceed $4,000. This was the
first step which resulted in a bitter
fight for supremacy between the
south and the north part of the
county. After a number of injunc-
tlons, the court house was finally
erected in Washburn the summer
of 1884, and at that falls election
the county seat vas permanently
located at Washburn by the vote Of
the people.
