A bill recently introduced by
Congressman Webb, isnow before
Congress, providing for the re-
tiement OF federal district judg-
es at 70 years Of age. Itspassage
would mean the early retirement
of Judge Boyd, Of the Western
District OF North Carolina. In
view OF this probable vacancy on
the federal bench, it is now in or
der for the people to suggest a
suitable man to fiji the position,
as the "voice OF the people"
should be heard by the Washing
ton authorities where the ap-
pointment is made. E
In Hon. W. e. Newland Cald-
we'll county has a citizen who is
eminently fitted in every way for
this Office. He has been actively
and successfully engaged in the
practice OF law for thirty years,
having at one time during that
period served as prosecuting at
torney in this district. In vari.
GUS non-partisan campaigns for
the social uplift and betterment
OF the state at large, he has al
ways been an active, vigorous
and effective worker. His services
to his party in county, state and
nation has been loyal and of a
high order. He has worn worthi-
ly different honors ut the hands
Of his party, but they have been
largely honors only-nothing sub
stantial. The federal judgeship
offers fair remuneration in addi-.
tion to honor. The western dis
trict does not contain a man bet
ter qualified for this office, or
more worthy of it, than Hon. W.
C. Newland, OF Lenoir. Should
the bill become a law, Gov, New
lands friends will press him for
the appointment.-Ienoir Topic.
Here's hopin' that should the
change be made, Watauga'sgood
friend, W. c. Newland, will b. the
winner. He is evidently well quail
fled for the position, and no one
more richly deserves it than he.]

how The GREAT GUEST CAME 10 CONRAD tine eoBBIiR!
EDWIN MARKHAM

While the cobbler mused, there passed his pane
A beggar drenched by the driving rain.
II called him in from the stony street
And gave him shoes for his bruised feet.
The beggar went and there came crone,
Her face with wrinkles OF sorrow sown.
A bundle of fagots bowed her back,
And she was spent with wrench and rack
He gave her his loaf and steadied her load
As che took her way on the weary road.
Then to his door came little child,
Lost and afraid in the world so wild,
In the big, dark world. Catching it up,
He gave it the milk in the waiting cup,
And led it home to it's mothers arms,
Out OF the reach of the worlds alarms.
The sun went down in the crimson west
And with it the hope Of the blessed guest
And Conrad sighed as the world turned gray:
"Why is it, Lord, that your feet delay?
Did You forget that this was the day."
Then soft in the silence voice he heard:
"Lift up your heart, for kept my word.
Three times came to your friendly door;
Three times my shadow was on your floor.
Twas the beggar with bruised feet;
Twas the woman you gave to eat;
l was the child on the homeless street!'
