From Washington, &c, q is report
ed that the IAvorite in the speculation
for the vacancy on the United States
Supreme bench, caused by the death of
Rufus W. Pecllham of New York, is
Judge Horace H. Lurton of Nashville,
Tenn, now presiding over the Sixth
Federal Judicial Court, which includes
the districts of Tennessee, Kentucky,
Ohio and Michigan. Lloyd Bowers of
Chicago, at present the solicitor general
of the Department of Justice, is promi-
nent in the speculation. Secretary of
War Jacob NJ Dickinson and General
Luke E Wright are being discussed in
connection with the vacancy also, but
Judge Lurton is generally regarded as
the most likely to succeed the late JUS
tice Peckham. The only suggested OBJ
stacle to Judge Lurton's appointment is
his age, but the President is not on re-
cord as having expressed any prejudice
to man 65 years old for elevation to
the supreme NOurt DenCn.
The late President Cleveland thought
that more than OF years make any man
ineligible for the position to that high
tribunal, but President Taft is not COM
nitted to any arbitrary age limit For
several years Judge Lurton has been
mentioned at different times for place
on the Supreme Court bench, the i'm
preston having been made in some way
that he was slated for the promotion
President Taft and Judge Lurton are
on the warmest and most cordial per-
sonal terms, as was exemplihed by the
appointment of Judge Dickinson as a
member of the Cabinet That appoint
ment, it is said upon excellent authority,
was made upon the suggestion of Judge
Lurton. Should the President depart
from precedent and confer the honor
upon Republican, indications point to
| Lloyd w. Bowers as the man he would
select for the honor 1t is known that
Bowers surrendered lucrative law
practice in Illinois to accept the present
place at Washington, and some of his
more intimate friends say that he took
up government work with the under
standing that if anything better thar
the solicitorship of the Department ot
Justice developed, he was to get it. The
call of precedent, however, is for the
appointment of Democrat to fill the
vacancy, but anticipation of other va
cancies on the Supreme Court bencf
before the expiration of his term ma,
influence President Taft to defer tht
selection of Judge Lurton or any othel
Democrat until that time.

THE FOUCHEE CASE

The leniency exercised towards Ike

who pleaded guilty to all the cases

cisms, but for the limited penalty in

prohibition law may be explainable

1t is probable that he has supplied

COTTON PLANTATION NE
GROES.

Guardian Journal: There are no bet
ter laborers in the world than the old
time plantation negroes. Blu tthey can't
accommodate themselves to the new
order of things. Before the boil weevil
came the negro could plant cotton, let
it stand in grass till it looked as if it
were dead, and then clean it out and
make a fair crop. But now the weevil
will eat up the crop while the negro is
fooling about, and it is impossible to
make him adopt such methods as are
necessary to make cotton while the
weevil is at prey.
