In Bull Head township, Greene

murderous assault was made m
on Thomas Farmer with a clnh
and a pistol as he lay in his bed

and they were arrested in VIII

MONDAY, MAY "a, 1909.

In his letter from Washington
to Fridays Raleigh News and
Observer Mr.. Thomas J. Pence
calls attention to a bit of history
that had not been noticed before
in connection with President
Taft's appointment of Associate
Justice Conner to the eastern
judgeship, a bit of history which
some prominent Republicans who
have been criticising the Presi-
dent for the appointment doubt
less wish had been relegated for
ever to the pages of forgotten
history. Mr.. Pence recalls the
fact that in 1894 the Republican
State Convention, thinking it
would strengthen it's ticket to
favor a non-partisan judiciary,
offered Judge Conner the nomi-
nation of Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. Judge Connor
refused to accept the nomination,
however, as he would not permit
the use of his name against his
party's candidate, Judge Burwell.
And in 1902 the Republican State
Convention declined to nominate
candidate against Judge Conner
after the Democratic CONVEX
ton had nominated him for AS
sociate Justice, his name was
placed on the Republican ticket,
and he received the solid Repub-
lican vote in the State except in
Fosythe county. But these erst-
while sticklers for a non-parti-
san Judiciary, these former sup
porters of Judge Conner for the
position he now holds, doubtless
think the appointment of Judge
Common to the eastern judgeship
quite a different matter. When
they supported him they doubt
less thought they saw something
to be gained for them; now they
can't see where they come in.
