IS JUDGE BRYSON TO

HjEs Retirement From Superior
Court Bench Leads to Gossip—
Macß&e Also a Prospect.
Asheville, Feb. 14 —Announcement
that Judge Thnd D. Bryson of the
Twentieth Judicial District of North
Carolina, is preparing to retire from
the Superior Court bench, is of more
than pausing ±^.—***■ ‘ ■**» s
ordinary political significance-
students .of Democratic

if Judge Bryson is preparing to seek

of the North Carolina Supreme

.the candidate of an Asheville mar
for that plao; such a man, for in
stance, as J ulgc Cameron F. Mac-
Itae, of the lo;al i>olice court, who
has been often mentioned in this |

There is firm belief that both
Judge Bryson »nd Judge Macßae
will not run. It is no less strong
that one of them will seriously con
sider opjosing Justice Herr»ot Clark-'
son, of Charlotte. who term is
about % expire. While there seems
no distfsition to dispute the fitness
of Juslce Clarkson, a growing feel
ing is,'encountered hereabout that
the intramontane territory

N/uraily Asheville is interested

(Lenten season is
ABOUT TO BEGIN
Will Be Especially Observed in 'the
, Episcopal and Catholic Churches.
New York, Feb. 15. —Tomorrow is
Khroye Tuesday, celebrated in many
cities both in America and abroad
with the annual Mardi Gras festiv
ities. The following day will be Ash
Wednesday, marking the beginning
bf Lent, when social gaities will
give place to a season of fasting and
prayer for forty days. ' Lent will be
especially observed in the Episcopal
and Catholic Churches, where special
services will be held on Ash jVednea
day, Holy Week. Good Friday, Palm
Suuday, and ending with the grand tri
umphant service on Eaßter Sunday.
The word “Lent,” which is derived
from the Anglo-Saxon “lenten
spring,” from the season in which it
occurs, is used to designate the solemn
period of devotion and abstinence
which has from early times preceded
the feast of Easter. It is mentioned
as early as the time of Irenaeus in
the second century and he speaks of
it as not merely -firfrr, rt
thn£. bi»* ro- extend over 4 period
ifProrty days (pot including
days) in order to correspond ‘with the
forty days of Christ's temptation in
the wilderness and sq to teach the
treat test to which every human life
must be subjected to prepare it for its
MPointed duty and victory. .
It is, in fact, an episode in the
Oristian life not to be -evaded by
tlose who make the year the follow
ing of the pathway of Christ through
toman life from the manger of Beth
jhem which is in sight at Christ
ina to the triumph of Easter. Al
lough this pathway leads inevitably
> the Passion and those who learn
ie meaning of that Passion in the '
oluntnry observance of the Lenten <
■ ill not, says the church, pleneh from 1
1 :ie temptations and sorrows of life 1
i r hen they come in the sure course of
4 xperience.
The forty days of Lent, ecclesiasti
, J Hy, call upon the faithful children
‘f the church for abstinence from the
l rdinary social pleasures, for special
6 evot : on to the duties of the Chris
an life, for the exercise of self-re
t raint and self-sacrifice and for a
j ?neral bracing of the tone of the
! nritual life by devout reference to
■ie standard set by Christ Himself.
Up to the sixth the Lenten
eriod covered only thirty-six daSys,
lis being a tenth of the year and,
guratively, a tithe of the Christian’s
me. It is generally accepted that
le time was lengthened by Pope
regory the Great.
Ash Wednesday, the first day of
ent, is so called because in the Rom
i Catholic Church it begins with the
ilernn ceremony that has given the
ly its name. After a supplicatory^
Tvice. the devout approach the altar
lil and the,priest places ashes.on
ie head of each, reciting in Latin,
Remember,; man, that thou art dust,
id shalt return 'to dust.” The ashes
•e customarily obtained by burning
e palms of the previous year. ,
The administration of the ashes
iginally was made only to public
nitents. who had to apear before
e church door with bare feet and in*
niteutial garb. After their pen
ces were declared, they were admit
-1 and the rite was performed. Oth
persons were allowed to join them,
t of affection and humility, and the
e finally became general. The fast
Ash Wednesday is more rigorously
served than any other day of the'
arch year except the four days im
diately preceding Easter.
The carnival, of which tomorrow is
» last day, comes from the Latin
rds meaning a farewell to flesh
at, and the name Shrove Tuesday
plies a day whereon it is fitting
it the faithful attend confession
J be shriven.

THE COTTON MARKET
Easier in Early Trading, After Open
ing Steady at Decline of 5 to 11
Points.
t New York, ! iFeb. 15.^—OP1—The cot
ton market was easier in today’s early
, trading owing to lower Liverpool
, cables, less favorable reports from the
cotton goods trade in 'Lancashire, and
. continued reports of good: progress
j with early farm work in the South.
1 The opening was barely steady at a
[ decline of sto 11 points. Active
I months soon showed net losses of 15
to 19 points. May selling down to
19.49 and October to 18.18. There
was price fixing on a scale down, and
ft good many contracts were absorbed
, on the decline, but local, Wall Street
and southern selling gave the market
a rather unsettled appearance. The
prices were within a point or so olf
the lowest at the end of the first hour.
) Cotton futures opened barely steady.
