Winston, Jan. 19." Postmasters E. H. Wilson and R. W. Belo, of this city and Salem, will hold over until February 1st, an arrangement of this kind having been agreed to by the new appointees, Col. P.

Lutz yester day published in the Journal an ex posure of Mormonism which stirred the elders to much resentment, and they will today deny the exposure in toto, calling upon the divine to read certain biblical references which they claim prophesies the finding of the Book of Mormon. A long and warm discussion is likely to be inaugurated, and the different pastors will proba bly institute a war of denunciation from their respective pulpits.

Rumors Rife as to Who Will Succeed Judge Dick. A Washington special to the Raleigh Post says: Washington,' Jan. 18 The contest for the vacancy in the' Western Dis trict created by Judge Dick's resig nation, has opened up lively. The woods have emptied - themselves on Washington. Moody, Ewart,Smathers .and Lusk, of the Western Reserve, with Judge Douglas, of the Supreme, and Adams and Green, of the Supe rior Court bench, are all "mentioned" Judge Furches is also spoken of by some friends. It is. believed however that the contest will narrow down to Col. Boyd and Judge Ewart. The ru mor today is that the President ex pressed a desire to appoint Judge Ewart, as he served in Congress with him. If this is done, it will be strictly a personal appointment on, the part of the President, and not one that will be satisfactory to the Republicans of the district, if what most of them here say represents the district. - There is some excellent timber in Western Carolina for this position, but it is said this will be greatly ignored in case the re port of the President's preference is true. The Republicans here would not listen to the appointment of Judge Douglas, as that would give Governor Russell an opportunity to fill the va cancy, and they all object to this. It was the Governor who also stood in the Jway of Senator Pritchard's ap pointment, as the administration was not willing to risk the Governor's ap pointment of Pritchard's successor. The appointment will be made in a a day or two. THE MARKETS. Closing Quotations by Private Wire to W. A.-Porterfleld & Co. W. A.
