BOYD GETS THE FLACE.
Made Judge of the Western District In
stead of Ewart.
The long spun contest for the
judgship of tho Western district
of North Carolina has ended in
appointment, by the president,
of the Hon. James E Boyd.
There will probably be no
fight-over his confirmation in
the Senate as there was against
Ewart. He is a prominent and
partisan Republican but withal
seems to be i;ked by ail parties
for his winn'.'i' personal traits,
as well as his ieyai ability. The
appointment is probably the
most sa-isf ccr v th.-.t was in the
public mini.

fenders Slain Chinese Will Retard
Adyance to Peiin.
Tho China situation does not
improve. No dispatches warrant
the hope that the legations at
Pekin can be saved if not al
ready desfroye'd
It seems that Prince Tuan
made a desperate atack on them
pn the 6th when Prince Ching
and Gen. Wang Wen ,3hao went
to assist the foreigners but Tuan
was victorious and they were
both killed.
Advices are that the Chinese
Have. inflicted defeat on the al
lied forces at Pekin and Tein
Tsin.
Dispatches are very bewilder
ing It is said and denied that
Japan will quickly land 50,000
troops instead of 22,000. It is
also said but not verified that
30,000 Russians are on the way
The Chinese are found to be
better armod and fighting with
much more skill than when
Japan conquered her.
Itjs announcod that canals
wTill be cut and the country
flooded so as to impede the prog
ress of the allied forces toward
Pekin. Little less than an army
of 100,000 will be need.
Hon. B. F. Long at High Point. (
The High Point correspondent
of the 11th to the Morning Tost
says:
"Last night Hon. B F Long,
of. Statesville, addressed our
people on the amendment issuoj
in the opera house. The speech
was an argument for tho honor
of white men and protection of
white women, the safety of our
State, 'the salvatlQn of the negroj
and the antidote for violence in
our country.
"Mr. Long was happy m his
remarks, making to my knowl-
edge more than one convert to
the amendment. Tho speaker
showed to us that we are do mi ;
nated, not by our equals, but by
our slaves, and. that neither the
fourteenth nor. fifteenth amend-1
ment to the Federal constitution
was adopted by .consent of the
governed. There w is r.o bitter
ness toward 'ary, but some ridi
cule for Maricn butler, Viv,

ties." Mr. Kemp Alexander is taking
