OUT FOR THE JUDGEsHIP.
A. H. Price, Late Of North Carolina,
But Now Of Florida, Wants to
Succeed SWayne.
(Times-UniOn. 24th.)

That Attorney A. H. Price has been
endorsed as the successor Of the late
Judge sWayne gives attorneys of Flor
ida good grounds for believing that
"the federal judiciary win not be car
pet-bagged again"
In its issue Of Monday morning the
Times-Union printed a Washington
dispatch to the Atlanta Constitution
stating that A. H. Price Of Salisbury,
North Carolina" had been endorsed
for the Office made vacant by the
death Of Judge Swayne.
To the laity, and to many of the
practicing attorneys here as we'll,
this meant that the judgeship would
probably 60 to a North Carolina man.
To those who know the real facts in
the case, however, it meant that
Florida was to be recognized, to a
certain extent at least.
Attorney A. H. Price Is a practic-
ing lawyer Of Jacksonville. a member
of the firm Of Toomer, Reynolds &

His Legal Experience.

Mr.. Price was born In North Car
DINA, and lived, for the greater part
of his life, In and near Salisbury.
His father, the late Charles Price,
was conceded to be one Of the most
eminent attorneys Of North Carolina,
and his services were always in de-
mand.
The son was given every educa-
tional advantage, and then, for a
number Of years, was engaged in the
practice of law with his father IN
North Carolina. His studies we're
continued there and his experience,
under the guidance Of so eminent an
attorney we're Of invaluable benefit.
He soon attracted attention to him.
self by his ability and his success in
both the prosecution and defense of
hard-fought cases, In many of which
he was opposed by distinguished legal
talent. His thorough knowledge Of
the law, his equipment, and his read
iness to deal with all questions aris-
ing, drew the attention of the depart
ment of justice to the young attorney
and later his ability was recognized.
Appointed by Mckinley.
The lamented President Mckinley,
Live Oak daily Democrat. (Live Oak, Fla.) 190?-190?, 1907-07-26

at a time when the work Of the dis
trict attorneys Office in North Caro-
line was becoming unusually onerous,
recognized the need of naming an as
sistant to aid in guarding the interest
Of the United States and to assist IN
the prosecution Of pending criminal
cases.
Political influence was brought to
bear in favor of many aspirants for
the position, but Mr.. Mckinley
selected Attorney Price for the hon
or, and to his keeping were conAded
some Of the most important cases
then pending. In these he acquitted
himself with distinguished ability.
Later his own practice demanded
his entire time, and he resigned from
his position with the government.
Came Here In January.
During the latter part Of December,
1906, Mr.. Price decided to cast his
future in with Florida, and selected
Jacksonville, the metropolis of the
state, for his special field of practice.
His talent and ability had attract
ed the attention of Col. W. NJ. Toom-
er and Judge Reynolds, of the law
firm of Toomer & Reynolds, one Of
the most prominent of all in Duval
county. A partnership was offered
Mr.. Price, and the North Carolina
attorney accepted.
On January /, 1907, the new firm,
Toomer, Reynolds & Price was form
ally organized. Since his connection
with that firm Mr.. Price has won the
esteem and admiration of his law
partners, and Of members Of the
Jacksonville Bar Association with
whom he has come in contact IN
court circles.
Several attorneys we're asked yes
terday about the status Of the judge
ship and unhesltatingly stated that
when 1t became apparent that Judge
Evelyn C. Maxwell could not be ap-
pointed, they would endorse Mr.
Price, regarding him as now prae-
ticallv a Floridian and, with the sup
port he could rally in North Carolina
and in Washington, the most hkeiy

He found TINT these natives were
4 covered with long hair from head to
foot In all parts Of the body except the
1: face, the palms Of the hands, the soles
Of their feet and their launches. The
most remarkable feature was the for.
nation Of their hands and feet. The
palms OF the hands were almost rs
long, proportlonately us the sole OF an
ordinary white MATS foot, and the fin.
gers were proportionately short. These
were partially Joined together by skin.
The thumb was noticcably short, and
Its tip did not reacll halfway toward
the base Of the fingers. 1t did not
possess the power Of moving freely
across the hand, which Is characteristic
Of the civilized mans thumb. All the
neculiaritles noted IN lhe thumbs OF
the natives are found In the higher
s'inthropold apes. especially the chin.
panzee and gorilla.
The feet OF the natives were formed
IN almost exactly the same manner Ms
their hands. While they could run
very well, their feet possessed the
same prchenslle power MS their hands.
and they used one md the other with
equal facility h climbing trees and
selling objects. Professor Klaatscit
narrates how one Of them escaped In

apart from their hands and feet their
hony anatomy did not differ In any
