Adams received a telegram from Governor Glenn late this afternoon notifying him of his appointment as judge of the eighth judicial district to succeed Judge Walter H. Neal. Mr. Adams' many friends here are greatly pleased at this appoint ment. He is a man deservedly popular here and thoughout the State. He is a lawyer of recog nized ability and judicial tem perment. He is a son of the late Rev. S. D. Adams, who for many years was a presiding elder in the North Carolina Conference, He graduated at Trinity College and studied law at the Univer sity of North Carolina. He ob tained his licence to practice law in 1880, locating here, where he was for many years associated with the late J. C. Black. He has represented this senatorial district several times in the Leg islature and was one of the four Democratic members of that body in the fusion Legislature of 1805. Judge Adams will hold court in Johnston county next week. Rev. J. H. McCracken, pastor at West Durham, was the only change the conference made in Durham pastors. He goes to Beaufort. The chimesof Memorial church, which have just been installed, gave a sacred concert last Sat urday night and Sunday after noon that was well received not only by the many visitors in the city, but Durham citizens as well. This was the Initial concert of the chimes and to say that the renditions were grand does rot describe it. The chimes are the gift of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Stagg in memory of their mothers.

HIS PAST RECORD IS AGAINST HIM Reuben Barbee, Known All Over tbe State as a Desperate Character, Landed In Lock-Up for Dastardly Murder. Mention was briefly made in our last issue that Reuben Bar- bee had been arrested and was being held for the murder of En gineer Fred Holt near the coal shute on the night of December the 3d. Few people that have lived in Durham any length of time but know the record in a general way of Reuben Barbee. The trial for the killing of Wiliiam Cole is still fresh in many minds, and also the fact that many citizens were indignant and held a public meeting giving expression to their views, is still a mattter that is well remembered. Future charges with no positive proof of crimes committed by Barl e j have been made during the past years. His record in the police court on minor charges have passed almost unnoticed. t There is not expressed in any quarter little sympathy for Bar bee in the present trouble and few people feel that if a mistake should be made in this case and he is given a sentence that he would have cause to justly com plain at the law. The preliminary hearing was set for Saturday afternoon and all day Saturday crowds of peo ple were around the court house waiting to see and hear what was to be seen and heard Little was brought out except street reports and they are of so many varieties that there is little cer tainty in the truth of any of them. The case was continued from Saturday to Monday be cause some of witnesses were out of the city. Monday when the case was called before the mayor Barbee's attorneys asked that the case be continued owing to the sickness of Mr. V. S. Bryant. The mayor continued the hearing until Mon day the 21st. In the meantime Barbee is in jail without bail. LAWYERS EMPLOYED. It is of interest in view of the approaching trial of Reuben Barbee to note that Messrs. Winston and Bryant, both of whom have appeared for Barbee on former occasions, have been employed to defend him in this case. When Barbee was being tried for his life for the murder of Cole these two lawyers made the effort of their lives in his be half and since then have appear ed for Barbee in other cases. To assist Mr. Jones Fuller in the prosecution Messrs. Guthrie and Guthrie and ex-Solicitor Brooks will appear. Every effort will be made by both sides to present their side in the best light and the trial will be inter esting from the beginning. Ifyoa want good shoes that will give service go to B. W. Hobgood's.
