The supreme court to-day adopted the opinion of the Attorney General, holding that salaries of judges of the supreme and superior courts are not liable to income tax, as the opinion of the court declares Mr. Gilmer's opinion full, able, exhauetable and a correct decision of the question. The opinion maintains this central prin ciple. If the right to tax salaries of judges be conceded there would be no limitation, but it would be discretionary with the legislature to do It to such an extent as to virtually abolish the means of conducting the judicial department Its existence must not be dependent upon the will of a co-ordinate department.

' Only the parents of the children could be invited, as the class by Itself was nearly large enenjrh to fill the rooms. The two front rooms and the hall were decorated With holly and mlstk-toe. On the walls In the musio room were hung pictures o! all the prominent musical composers. .. - ..- .- ' Twenty-eeven selections were given by the pupils. It was especially noticeable in each of these, there was no hesitation or lack of spirit in its rendition. To say that one played well would mean to sllgh the remain'ug twenty-four in the class. The "Lion Bunt" though,by MIssBeulah Smith was a thrilling conglomeration of notes and was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Smith after the recital played "The Mock ing Bird" and "Dixie" and put In these two selections what that man, who beard Beuben play, called "real music." The committee who were appointed to give the prize for the beet playing decided that the real musician of the evening was Miss Essie Uummlngs, wto was as sisted by Miss Zelle Cox, In rendering the 'Bohemian Polka." After the recital Mrs. Kennedy gave a party to her pupils and invited friends, Fruit, nuts, candies and salted peanute were served. The whole evening was thoroughly enjoyed.

EE TALKS OF TES PiCS QUOTOJ. s .in i ii mi "':; 'if.-Vj':;, Tkc Wllsca Pcsiz&ster Fllst lot jet Charlotte Onset vsr Washington, Dec. 18. The Samuel Vlck embrogllo, in which is Involved the dark "olor of the skin of the postmaster at Wilson again received attention at the White Honss today. Senator Prltch ard, who has endorsed a white man, A. B. Boy kin, is ill at a local hospital, and his cause Is In the meantime being up held by former Senator Marlon Butler and others.' President Roosevelt put asids official duties and gave an audience of considerable duration to the North Carolinian, a manifestation of interest in the subject which, has cansed hope ti spring lu the lily whits breasts. For.sev- eral day s it seemed that President Roose velt bad practically arrived at the de termination to recommend the colored postmaster, but at this time many of the friends of Senator Prltchard are predict ing that be will ultimately win. It Is understood that Mr. Butler referred only incidentally to Postmaster Tick In his conference with the chief executive, but urged that in this contest policy and principle of vital concern to the best le- ment of those opposed to Democracy was involved. After leaving the White House Mr. Butler volunteered the information that he had expressed his friendship for the negro and had at least endeavored to Impress on ths president the fact that In advocating the adoption of Senator Pritchard's policy he had spoken his well wishes for the negro race in a way that all those who understood the situation iu his State would readily comprehend He had tola the president that it was i best lor the negro and beet for the South 'industrially and in every way, for the black man to play an inconspicuous role in political affairs. Furthermore, Mr & the president that the negroes, arace, arenos responsioje wr xneir undoing.- In his county, Sampsonr m lM popuion are negroes, i i a. n f . . ur ana jei uu jjogru wwi vu iuv u.twoi boro convention from that county, nor had any desire to go, because they under-, ; tood tnat thejr i,,, jntereBts would be conserved by remaining away. In scores of other counties similar conditions pre vailed, and it was only where the negroes had unwise and mischievous leadership that they stood in their own light and hampered efforts of men of intelligence and standing who were battling against forces of orgauised Democracy. The ne groes, Mr. Butler urged, as the president listened very attentively, should stand back and allo w ths formation of a oppo mtlon party in the South, endowed with both intelligence and numerical strength, and this much-desired end would never be realized should the administration in sist on recognizing those who favored the old order of things. President Roosevelt did not intimate what course he would take, but It is evi dent that the end of the Tick case is not 1 vet. Those who are technically known j as lily whites have been very active dur ing the past few days and some things have been said to administration leaders regarding Southern affairs that Postmas ter General Payne has referred to as a revelation. . . v. : ', : Klnston to Have Tobacco Factory.

We've got a big business, too been at it 149 years making good paint, best paint in the world, Devoe Lead and Zinc. "fewer gallons and wears longer that's the reason in short. It takes fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc than of mixed paints to cover a house, and It wears longer than lead and oil, or any! Smith & W liber, tambrigde Springs, Pa., write: One of our painters says Devoe is the best paint for a painter to use when tak ing work by the job, as it goes farther and covers better than any paint he ev er need.

To svery pnpfl from the nneonsctously natural and unaffected sit year old tot, to tbe knowing one Just getting a glimpse of Mte's reality the afternoon was ore of joy, was one of gladness. Closing exercises were held In all the grades, especially Interesting ones having been held In tbe primary erades. , The first exercises were held tn tbe prk mary grades at tbe old college building taught by Mrs. Geo. B. Webb, Mfes Lucy Brooks and Miss 7 Fannie, Moseley. If these teachers , had done nothing else in their work this fall than train these ons hundred and twenty five children for tbe Chrietmaseiercisee only, . then they have done noble work, a work which can : never be ' effaced from the child's soul, a work which is character building. The simple and unaffected style of the children's speeches, the gen- nine music In the thrill of joy In giving and being given to,' seen on every face, are things acquired which will last for lit, In Mrs. Wsbb's room; the little girls had a mlstle-toe drill andtheboysdrlUd, dresssd up as Santa Clans' workers. Miss ' Brooks' children, not one of whom was over seven year old gave some of the prettiest music that can possibly be made. .The little boy, who Is not old enough to put his bands in his pockets, and the little girl who does not hold her head down, eung In such a simple, sweet tone, anyone could truthfully applaud. Miss Moseley prepared a pretty Christ' mas tree for her grade,. jTbe exerclees la the room carried one back to the time "When I Was yeung.' One litt'e Miss in her room had a chill before tbe exercises, but she could not be persuaded to go home until the exercises were over, and tbe Santa Claus gift was received. Such was the joy and intense Interest with all; At the grade J school building the same spirit of glad cess prevailed, except It was not shown with such openness. All the rooms were decorated with a "merry Christmas" both In word and In spirit. The holly decorations were tastefully ar ranged by the pupils in their respective rooms, in fact the appeal to the beautiful in all the decorations was presented much stronger than is generally seen. Then again the spirit of Christmas was seen In every face and In every eong. Master Robert Rouse 8antaclaus-d for tbe advanced first grade, taught by Miss Stella Mlddleton. ' Hs brought a present to every member of his grade I a Miss Laura Klrby'sroom Master Will Rog. ers assumed tbe same character; he per formed his part well.

Little Miss Hazel Einstein a-d Master George Taylor played Jack and Gill. Of com se It would be Improper to state which was the prettiest Christmas tree, . but the tree in Miss Sldonia Weyher's room well It was very pretty. The ex ercises also in Mrs. Ormond's room and -in the grade taught by Miss Delia Horns were full of entertainment In Prof. H6eHe and in Miss Anna Howard's grades no regular Christmas, exercises were arranged, except songs. A feeling of overjoyfulnees thrilled with a high as piration took possession of one when the seventh grade, taught by MIse Howard, brought out every note, ''Then My Old Kentucky Home Good Night" and tlen "God be with you till we meet again." The spirit of God and giving Indeed seemed to have been tbe characteristic epirlt of the eveniog. From the Btory of Bethlehem In the first grade to "God be with you", In tbe seventh, from the Christ, mas tree gifts, both by the pupil" and teachers in the primary grades to more substantial gilts in the olr grades, this maznanlraous spirit prevailed.
