Moore, of the Superior Court bench. t his home in Ashevilte-iasi evening i.jm intelligence Is a shock, because , 'there had been no preparation for it, ad It will be a srlnf to all who knew him personally or had wen him on V. the bench, for, personally he was . :., rami engaging scnth-man and In his 4 public capacity an able and a Just ' Judge. Of tho gentlemen who con- , sutute the line Judiciary of North V Carolina, there are none who surpass , .,lm In noble bearing. In elegant dig . blty, in all tho qualities which from time Immemorial have caused North '. Carolinians to regard Judges an a V superior class, a class apart. With v., out any spirit of subservlem-y, for our . . people never knew that, thy have 'ever entertained a cf-rtnln reverence '.'.tat the Judiciary, and without effort Judge Moore fostered In them this becoming reverence. His Arm court .Was held In Charlotte in 1898: his .'.i last court ht-rfe was in June, 1908 . and he remarked before leaving that i" It would be many years before he was c here again.

Hearst Is a serious question-- to - all ; the people., .The view of The Washington i-ost is uiai ue -be lleves that Mr. Bryan wllfb ever whelmfngly defeated ' for . ' President this year, and "that after his .defeat there will be nothing; left of the pent- ocrallo party . except " few Southern States and Tammany Hall; that be Having .this, he sees the death, of the Democratic party and la preparing to have the Independence tarty take Its place." This Is a perfectly rational theory. It Is entirely reasonable to W assume that If the Democratic party i 4- A .a vAav A mutt fifth! I go back to its original principles or go but of business. If it does." the latter it must be replaced by a party more radical still and the Independ ence league meets that requirement. Meantime the Republican party hav ing sought to meet the Democratic party in its advocacy of radical meas ures, there must be a refuge some where for the conservatlye forces or the country and the opportunity will be presented for the Democratic par ty. If defeated this year, to re-form Its Urns in harmony with its original principles of individualism; of simple government; of government not mucn but little; of dabbling- not in every thing but concerning itself with few; of not holding the citizen In leadlng- strinrs. but of compelling him only to regard the rights of his noifihbor and work out his own salvation. Under these conditions tho Republi can party and tno inofpenurm-o Lea (rue would be left to fight it out between th..m for the support of the forces of paternalism and Socialism.

Observer Bureau, The Revlll Building. Greensboro, Aug. 14. Mr. Thomas C. Hoyle, a well-known young attorney of this city, will man age tho Democratic campaign In the fifth congressional district this year, he having been elected chairman of the executive committee at a meeting held in this city this afternoon. Prior to big eloctlon as chairman, Mr. Hoyle was elected a member of the com mit toe to succeed Mr. John N. Wil son, who resigned as the member from Guilford county. Mr. Wilson has represented Gull ford on the committee for many years, having conducted several campaigns with signal success, but his profession al engagements are. of such a press ing nature that be feels he, cannot longer, In Justice to himself or the party, hold his position on the com mittee. Mr. G. TT. Hastings, the member from Forsyth, was elected secretary of the committee. The other mem bers are: Charles A. Scott, of Ala manee county; D. C. Parks, Orange; R (.'. Brawley, Jjurham; W. A. Devln, Granville; Col. John 8. Cunlngham, Person; P. D. Watt, Rockingham; T. C. Womack. Caswell; R. W. Hill, Stokes; H. Manes, Surry., The question of tho city making an appropriation of $600 to the chamber of commerce came up again at a meeting of the board of aldermen this afternoon" and received' favorable ac tion by virtue of a vote cast by Mayor Brandt to break a tie. The appro priation was strongly urged by a com mittee from the chamber of com merce, speeches in favor of the propr option being made by President Thompson and Messrs. E- P. Wharton, E. J. Justice, R. C. Hood and W E. Harrison. The big barbecue and brunswlck stew given at Hamburg to-day com plimentary to the members of Greens boro's winning baseball team, was a most enjoyable occasion. A big crowd of fans was present, and there was the greatest abundance of John We athcrly's famous . barbecue and brunswlck stew to say nothing of quantities of melons and a reasonable amount of the amber fluid that made Milwaukee famous. The members of the pennant win ning team, all of whom are popular In Greensboro, were entertained by Mr. Julius W. Cone, at Guilford Bat tle Ground last night. large crowds were ashore and afloat to bid farewell to the Americans. Ex enrsion craft loaded to the rails dot ted the harbor. vs ancnors were hoisted and the flogshlp pointed her nose towari the mouth of the harbor pandemonlum reigned. Tho short batteries belched forth parting salutes which wore an swered by the American ships, and the wnisties and sirens on the excursion flotilla resounded across tho harbor and were re-echoed by the distant Americans. Trie American shins were kept bimy dipping their flags "in answer to the salutations of the New Zealanders. The fleet steamed with precision of alignment out of the harbor and many of . the excursion craft followed it far to sea. The sight when the ships lert their anchorage was a magnificent one, the flagship Connecticut turning and stemming between the lines of battle ships which turned in order and fol lowed her to sea. Sir Joseph Ward, the Premier, and a large number of officials were aboard a government steamer, and as each .battleship passed, Sir Joseph led the rousing cheers for the Americans, The battleship Kentucky, which was the Wst in line, responded lustily with cheers ror New Zealand, and the hands on both vessels played the Brit ish and American national ' anthems and "Auld Lang flyne." Cordial farewell messages were ex changed between Rear Admiral Sper ry, commander of the fleet, and ths New Zealand authorities. ' Sir Joseph Ward, the Premier, voicing ths sentiments of the people Of the dominion, said: "Your all too short visit to New Zealand unquestionably has drawn the peoples of the United States and this dominion closer together." The mes sage concluded with the following words In the Maori language: "Kla ora aroha." which means ."Good luck and love."
