The ';','V'membeih1p ;' of -the Supreme Court : mT be ler gely changed between now V; tvad March 4th. If 01. In fact, the strong probablMUee are that K will f be ; so ' changed. It is a pretty gen j '', era! rule among the member of the f eonrt to take advantage of tha law . -which permits them to retire with ." 'full pay when they have reached the V ' ; ' age of seventy, though li the case of ' few members who have beon bleat . wttt robuet health they have waived .. the rule and hare continued to grace '."the woolsack for aeveral year after .

V At thle time there are two mum- 'bora of the court eligible to reHre went besides Justice Brown, who, on aeoount of falling eyesight, has Just f atopped down. They are Chief Jus- f - ' tloe duller and Associate Justloe Har lan. Fuller hi a Democrat and Har- "'- laa a a Republican. It la being stated with seeming authority that Associate Justice Peckham la going '.- v . o -retire on account of 111 health. Associate Justice Brewer will be V. ' eligible to reUrement on the 20th of next June, when he will have reached the allotted three-score and ten. ' - I FULLER THE OLDEST. J '"' Chief Juvtk-O Filler la Che oldest i member of the court. He wan born February lUa, 183 J. In Augusta. Me. 1 It will fee Been by this that he ha al ready given three and a half yeaxa r more to the arduous taalt of welgh- ''."; lag every matter coming before the ewurt than he would have had to give.

CWef Justice Fuller will like ly net retire before March . 1I6. at which tJme he will be mventy-elx yoara of age. By pursuing this oouree ' ch Ohlef Justice would have the pleuure of eeolng hl euccemor a Democrat. If, howvT. he retire v heore that time, or If Jtooeevelt i ehould be aucceeded by a Republican : Prealdent. Chief Jnatioo Fullera fiv eeaaor would be a Republican. - Though for the time he la Chle-f Jn tloe Mr. Fuller la compelled by pre cedent and good tnato to lie-p out of politics he t yet a ataunrh Democrat and would leave no stone unturned . to eee his xucoewHor a man of like . - political faith. ; HARLAN Jfl HEALTHY. Tor bumptious good health Asso ciate Justice Harlan takea first rank. t' ' He 1 only three months the Junior of the chief JsyeHce, but he la aa . big as a mountain almoet and aeom Ingly as full of henlth as the beat of inen. He Is a Repulll;an and a pretty , atrlct party man nml ehould the Dem- ocrats win In I80H he would probably give Theodore Roosevelt the privilege of appointing his eucceasor. He cornea from Virginia via Kentucky, that his ancestors were Vlrglnlana. Justices Harlan and Brewer love to play golf together. Some years ago they were eut on Crevy Chase links playing when Justice Brewer went to swat a hall with main force. He mlwwd It V and then h stood looking at the thing with an air that made Justice Harlan eiclalm, "Hrewer that was the neat profane silence I ever saw." Justice Harlln loves a Jok I recall alt- ting In the court while John B. Wise wa trying to overturn the Virginia constitution. Mr Wise was talking 7 - nbout the Virginia cmetltullonal con. vendon's having been a collection of M bold a set of plratnu aa over scut- tied a ship or trod a quarter deck. When Justice Harlan, who alt next ' on the right to Chief Justice Fuller r earthed over and whispered some thing amusing you may surmise for never did school boy have to bite his 11 pa harder to keep from laughing out right than did the dignified t hief Jus tice, and as for Uarlan lin almply ' had to hide his face behind hla hands while hla sides shed with laughter. It la not often, however, that auch things happen. Associate Justice Davis Joslah Brewer will be eligible for retirement next June, having been born In Asia Minor In 1117. his father having been J ' a missionary to Tnrkey. Whether ha . wfll avail hlmneir of the opportunity to retire Is not known. lie appears to be a man or excellent health ll Is Kepubllran and would probably gtve Theodore ftooeevelt the opportu- . ' nltjr to appoint his successor should ' '.. the next President be a Democrat. ' ' ilt. Brewer and Justice MeKenna'are ' the two most regular patrons of the street ears In Wuahington. Many has the time I have seen thorn give 11 V: 'Since , S ' , .:;V. . v 'v'V their seats to ladlea while e. dosen or more negro men aat stolidly In their seals, . Am stated above Justice ' Peokham may retire on account of III healtb. He would be eligible to retirement with pay after Nov. 8th, 108, but he may retire before that time. Ho took hla aeat In 10S. The other members of the court have mora than five yeara to serve yet before any of them would be eligible to retirement ? t v v ; RIGHT (CHIEF JUSTICB.'

This . was the second of a aeriea of ralllea planned for Halifax county, the first being held at Scotland Hack laat ' week. . - ' ;. 'The merchants of Littleton entered into the spirit of the day and closed their storea for several neure to attend the apeaklng and dinner. The meet Ing was held about half a mile from the town of Shews , Springs, a moat beautiful park-like wooded elope where burets the water from the All healing Springs, and through which gurgles a beautiful, mountaln-ilke atream. Together with the - farmers and merchants, there was - quite s a number of ladlea, and the crowd num bered four or Ave hundred persona. With a large rock for a platform Capt W. T. Jenkins, president of Hal ifax county branch of the Southern Cotton Association called the meeting to order, made . some brier remarks about the work of the association and then called upon Rev. F. G. Smith, who offered a wall-timed Invocation. Here State Senator W. H. Thorne was call ed to Introduce the first speaker of the day. Mr. Thorne spoke for organisation among the farmers, aaylng that oven tramps are organised, and declared tnat in good organisation there la great strength. He aald that he was glad to Introduce to the audience a roan who had written much and la bored much for the agricultural In terests of the State, Mr. T. B. Park er, of Raleigh, secretary of the North Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Association. Mr. Parker, In the opening of hla address, reviewed the organisation of the Southern Cotton Association and reminded the farmera of the fact that from the day of the organisation In New Orleans on Jan. 24, 1006, within a year the price of cotton rose ateadily from 4ft to 13 cents. He emphasised the great good which has come to the South In better prlcea for cotton through the work of the Southern Cotton Association. Bald the speaker, "Organisations like this, which tend to help the peo ple of the South, deserves tha sup port of all the people, and should be encouraged and supported by every man. In 60 years," he aald. "the population of this country wlU be 200,000.000 and they can be fed from the four qaartera of the earth, but they will have to be clothed from the cotton fields of the South. Mr. Park er pleaded for better aystem of farm ing and nald that, while every ton of coal taken from the mines Im poverishes; the earth's supply that much and cannot be replaced, Im proved and Intelligent farming en riches the earth all the time. The best farming ran be done through co-operation and this the Southern Cotton Association encourages. NEED OF WAREHOUSE. Mr. Parker took up the question of wurchouHen for storing cotton and Khowed how the farmers need It for the protection of their cotton from th weather, and that warehouses In Halifax county would save the farm ers $20,000 annually In this way. even If the price of cotton should not be-Increased at all. Mr. Park er's address was able and effective and the great audience received It with much appreciation. MR. MOORE SPEAKS. At the conclusion of Mr. Parker's address Capt. Jenkins asked Mr. John Plcot to escort to the stand Mr. C. C. Moore, of Charlotte, president of the Southern Cotton Association. Mr. Plcot presented Mr. Moore In a most graceful manner and said that the speaker would not discuss any Issue of white supremacy, or goveernment ownership of railroads, but would talk about cotton, the great money crop of the South. Mr. Moore, equal to the occasion, aa he always Is. sold In his opening rtmnrks that the talented man who had Juwt Introduced him In such a una'" nine, speecn nau mane a mis- take. Ho said. "I am to discuss i white supremacy, ' for cotton la white and It Is supreme Is king In the South yet." Ho urged the farmers to organize and psy the ten cents per bale for the support of the Southern Cot ton Association and thought the farmers ought to stand for ten cents and not sell their cotton below that price, for he snld all the mills can pay 1! cents for cotton and then tnrike a good profit. Mr. Moore ex hibited vnrlous snmplea of cotton goods In the finished state from ordi nary domestic to mercerized silk, end declared thnt the difference between the price of the raw material and the finished product Is too great It Is simply an outrngn upon the producer. Mr Moore snld that the cotton crop from Mock len burg county Inst yenr averaged the highest price In the South because that county la well organized snd has warehousea to protect cotton. In concluding his able and effect ive address, which the people receiv ed with high appreciation, Mr. Moore asked for subscriptions for a cotton storage warehouse at Littleton. A committee of three was appointed to report at 8 o'clock. Capt. Jenkins far cxcwAeA SANITARY mvm vMavvVMMVaAUt fff y AAA V JkJlA?
