Mr. Justice's appointment is under- j
stood to have been strongly urged:
upon McReynoldfS by Secretary Dan
iels and Commissioner Osborne. Fol
lowing the usual course Senators
Simmons and Overman were consult
ed regarding the appointment and de
clared it would give them much pleas
ure to see Mr. Justice appointed.
Mr. Justice preferred tonight not
to discuss whether or not his new
position would eliminate him from
the senatorial race. Mr. Justice is ex
pected to leave for California next
week to take up his new duties.
Considering it as probable that the
new turn takes Mr. Justice out of the
race, the limelight is thrown all the
morep rominently upon ex-Governor
Glenn. Mr. Glenn was in Washing
ton a few hours today en route to
Pennsylvania on a lecture tour but
declined to make a "declaration or
intentions."
"The question of whether or not
Mr. Justice continues in, or drops out
of the race, in view of his new posi
tion," said Mr. Glenn, "has abso
lutely no bearing on my running or
not running. I am very glad to hear
of Mr. Justice getting the place, and
I don't know a better lawyer or a
better man. As for myself, I don't
know a more pleasant work than that
I am already engaged in.
"I shall be back from this lecture
tour December 16 and will spend tne
holidays in North Carolina. About tne
first of the year if the people are
interested in knowing I shall advise
them then what I shall do."
Throughout his conversation. Mr.
Glenn impressed the correspondent
with, the belief that he has decided
upon his course of action but possi
bly' through an eversion' to long cam
paigns is delaying an announcement.

Judge Hardin? will be oxnvo'tvA to

son - of the fact, that there has been
no court in Mecklenburg since July,
and Judge Harding will begirj his judi

The appointment of Mr. Harding
to the high office of judge of the four-
teenth district, had been anticipated
for over a week, therefore the news
j son of Maj. Harvey Harding, a civil
war veteran. Lake many other shining
lights in North Carolina life, Judge
Harding got his inspiration from the
farm. His mental and physical devel
opment, whose foundations were laid
on the farm, testify to his good for
j tune in oemg a iarmer ooy.

I cnanotte m unary institute,
I Baird being superintendent thereof.
! His experience as a school teacher
here extended from 1894 to 1896. As
a teacher, imparting knowledge and
controlling students, he demonstrated
his faculty of even mindedness and ju
dicial temperament ' which has won
him the position of w-hich any lawyer
is proud and to to which honor the
greatest lawyers aspire.
Judge Harding is strong(, hand
some, highely educated; a man of poise
and character, and splendidly equip
ped for the position to which he has
been appointed.
He graduated at Chapel Hill in 1894,
having taken a strong stand . in his
class. He was not ambitious for
"honors," but got what is better the
thoroughness and mastery of whatever
he undertook in school. Ambitious but
modest, Judge Harding has risen to
the height of his profession in 16
years, an achievement which a life
time often fails to accomplish.
Judge Harding has always taken
an active interest in politics, but of
the nature that is unobtrusive and at
the same tim most effective in its in
fluence over people. On the farm,
