Tlinberlak, ; ct Wass Forest, tor the -vacant Fod 1 ' oral jttdgeahla in tb eastern district - of North Carolina nave been largely , signed by,the local bar. the un ' equivocal opinion of the majority ( the Charlotte member of the fraternity beta that he U the man i, for the place. Judge Ttmberlake eat c ea the Superior Court bench of the - State years ago and la well known a one of the most capable jurists that ver occupied .that high office in . .North Carolina. A man of fine eenae ' and splendid training, he would grace ' the bench aa would few other men In , the BtaU. - It developed yesterday that an ffert Is being made by those close In touch with the so-called a. O. F. machine of the State to excite some Interest in the candidacy of ex-Judge v Spencer B. Adams, of Greensboro, chairman of the Republican State ' executive Committee, far the vacant ' Judgeship. It was reported that a f petition was In circulation asking that he be appointed, but nothing of - definite nature developed- Those who are posted on the politi cal situation in the State have no hesitancy in declaring that District Attorney Harry gklnner, or ureen ville, will be named as Judge Purnells Successor. They say that he Is the logical man for the place, one who stands high in Washington and who commands the support of both Judge Jeter C. Prttchard, of the Circuit Court bench, as well as that of Na tional Committeeman E. Carl Duncan, f Raleigh, possibly the two most Influential Republicans In the State, 1 certainly for an office of this kind. That Mr. Skinner has the support of both men is not to be doubted, cer tainly not by those who will recall the manner In which he managed Judge Prltcharda campaign In Raleigh years ago when he was re elected by the Legislature to the Senate, winning a notable victory over Senator Marlon Butler, who was then fighting Senator Prltchard with all his might This fact pre nts another phase which Is Interesting, and that Is the Intervention of x-Senator But ler In the present fight. Senator Butler's Influence in Washington, as is well known. In not to be scoffed at for a moment and those who have had dealing with him know what trouble he can stir up If so Inclined. There Is no question as to Mr. Skinner s ability. He has made one f the most efficient district attorneys In the Federal Court service and is not unworthy of substantial rewara, He Is looked upon In Charlotte as the decided favorite, although there are not a few who hold that Judge Ttmberlake will win. Developments are expected shortly AT WESTMINSTER CHURCH. Christmas Tree and Interesting Pro gramme by Young People Will Be I features w-Kigm.

Tha rain of th wek his materially Interfered with tha Christmas trad. Tha exceedingly v unpleasant weather of yesterday stripped the streets of buyers and tha merchant Buffered accordingly, though not aa greatly as soma might expect. It l probable that additional thousands of dollars would have been expended Monday and yesterday, had tha weather been fitting for people to venture out. The promise of sunshine for this afternoon will bring to tha streets? a real congestion of Christmas shop pers, held back so far because of rain and generally disagreeable atmos pheric conditions. The rain of the past two days has been tha hardest recorded at the local weather office for several months, the total registration showing a rain fall of neatly two Inches. Bjr the uninterrupted downpour of yesterday morning, people were reminded of the August floods which proved the most disastrous which has been ex perienced In this section of the coun try for many years. The merchants are hoping that there will be better weather for tha next two day. The Christmas trade started off encouragingly and there was every Indication that records of past sales would in many Instances be eclipsed by this year'g business, but the weather has seriously Inter fered so far. Toward sunset yesterday the city was visited by a mixture of rain and snow, which combined brought about a very uncomfortable storm, ac companied, as it was. by am appreci able drop in the temperature, WOCLD MAKB BED IX COACH.

If these taxes are not by that date In the hands of the city tax collector, the virtue of the law relative to collecting such tributes will be tested. Among the firms and corporations and Individuals Included in tha llet which has been' given to the tax col lector are soma of the roost prominent citizens of Charlotte, who, for . one reason and another, have neglected to attend to this important business. - Tha amount ot taxes dua the city from this source of supply runs up Into tb thousands of dollars and this money Is badly needed, so Chairman Scott of the finance committee aaya. 1 Various other feature of the tax system' were discussed ' si tha meet ing and several rebates ordered to be granted oa the eame - basis as the board of county commissionera have stabllshed. . . . . - - DIED OX PAY OF ARRIYAU Deatto Walts ' Tot SJck Kortl, Car hnlaa at the End of Jong Joar.

Mr. Moore, accompanied by his wifs and 'two young children, a daugh ter of 7 and a son of about t, arrived yesterday morning at 2 o'clock. About four years ago they went to the far West In tha hope that be would recow er his strength and win out in tha light against tuberculosis, but this was abandoned and he came back to North Carolina to die. Mr. Moor was orig inally from Spray. Ha was about St years old. 'He was a member of tha Junior Order of United Ameviieaa Mechanics at Spray and It Is expected that the local band will be bidden take charge of the funeral. ODER DEPOSIT INSURANCE. Morse's Feats of Frenxled Financier ing Would Have Been Impossible, Norfolk Landmark. Many, If not all of the directors knew what Mors was doing and let mm go on doing it He goes to the penitentiary, as he richly deserves, but tha directors get only a few words of criticism from the court; while Curtis, tha next executive officer to Morse, has bis sentence suspended af ter conviction and may be placed at the head of th tank on Its reorgani- I cation. Colonel TJinmmnn th dlrec- ! tor who Is being pushed for Secretary of the Navy, sayi that Curtis is the man to run the bank. Under a system of deposit Inst ance supervised by the government, the government could not afford to take into the fold a 'bank administered by officers and directors who had al ready allowed It to be -brought to dis aster toy outrageous acts of exploita tion, which they were aware of and which they could have stopped had they desired to do so. The properly administered banks participating In a guarantee system could not afford to become responsible for the deposits of a bank run by discredited directors Here Is something mere to show that the proper sort of deposit-guarantee system would make for safer and saner banking methods Instead of encouraging wildcat banking. Little Pleasure For Sportsmen. There Is little pleasure In the fields this season for the sportsmen. Actual roaming of the fields has been demon strating a scarcity of quail which had not been anticipated and since the opening of the season hunting parties have been growing more and more diminutive and hunting trips less frequent. It is supposed that the floods in August, coming at the very hatching time of the birds, drowned the young ones and reduced the num ber to a minimum. Rabbits, however, are abundant, and those who like to Journey without guns, but with a pack of hounds, are getting all that's ( pming to them In the way of com pensation. inn the crt of a ltttls: CHILD. Alfred Damon Runyon, In Smart Set I dreamed of a legion of women, who waited with eyes aglow In tha shadow of loves forgotten, by the ports of long ago; I dreamed of a legion of man whose faces were tenderly mild And hark! In the night I heard It the cry of a little child! I looked on the waiting women through the mist of a thousand years; And some of their eyes wars smiling, and some were suffused with teers. Yet they Bang as a choir In training, and the song, of the waiting throng Was the old. old cry to heaven: "How long, O Lord, how long?" I dreamed of a legion of women who stood In a driving rain; Who raised their voices singing, yet sang but one refrain; I looked on the waiting women, and their faces were white and wild And hark! In the night I heard It the cry of a little child! rnmg To Owners of Pianos When a fellow calling himself a piano tuner tries to secure your work, claiming to be sent out by our firm, it will prove far cheaper and perhaps save your piano from ruin, to 'phone or wire us to identify him.
