In the meanwhile the candi dates for the seat of the late corpora tion commissioner, H. C.

Already about seven or eight applications in a" more or less formal way have found their way Into the governor's office. If one goes by what I heard about the street the list when all in will be a very formidable one, Indeed. Some of Those Mentioned. ' Friends of Ex-Judge A. W. Graham of Oxford are making a big fight to have him appointed. He was a can didate two years ago against Com misslaner W. T. Lee. To urge the ap polntment of Judge Graham a dele gation headed by General B. S. Roy ster came to the city. It Is under stood that among the applicant 1 Jacob A. Long of Graham, who four years ago ran against Chairman Mc Neill for the position while friends of E. L. Travis of Halifax are asking the governor to appoint him. . There were - several who -. thought the appointment should go to . Stat Chairman A. H, Eller of Wlnaton-Sa lem but whether he will apply wa not learned. - There wa a suggestion that Prof. J.

It will be several days before an appointment la made by Governor Kltchln. - The Governor I never in haste to make such an appointment and always gives all aide plenty of time In which to present their vlewa Has Filled Many High Offices. It is common comment here ' that Governor Kltchln ha perhaps had more high offices to mi by appoint ment than any other governor In many years. He has appointed a state au dltor, B. F. Dixon, jr., to succeed his father, the late Dr. B. F, Dixon; an adjutant general, R. lw Letnster, to succeed the late Gen. J. F. Armfield a supreme court Judge, James S. Manning of Durham to succeed Judge H. G. Connor who was appointed United States judge; a corporation commlaaioner, H. C. .Brown, to sue ceed the late B. F. Aycock, and now be has to appoint a commissioner to succeed Mr. Brown. There have been three or four Superior court Judges to be appointed and two or three solici tor. In fact Gov.
