{tm ' m i CREATION OF MEW COURT FOR STATE STARTS JOB RACE Washington, Feb. 26?The names of fifteen aspirants for the five ma jor officcs created by the establish ment of the middle federal judicial district of North Carolina have al ready been put into the race. So far as is known here, no candi date has formally announced himself, but 14 Republicans and one Demo crat are said to hope for appointment to offices in the new district. Indications here are that President Coolidge will make no appointments of officers in the new district before the adjournment of Congress on March 4, but that shortly thereafter he will make recess appointments. If any of the President's appointments should precipitate a .fight on confir mation by the Senate, the fight would have to wait until December. Judging by endorsements coming to members of Congeiss from the state, it would appear that Johnson J. Hayes, of Greensboro and Frank Linney of Boone, are running as lead ~pg?iia fcloee race for the; new judge ship. It is reported here that A. II. Price of Salisbury and H. F. Sea well of Carthage are also candidates for this office. Linney and Hayes, however, seem to have the inside track. Mr. Linney, now United States District Attorney for the Western Disrtict, is moved into the new dis trict as the middle district, as draft ed, contains Watagua, his home coun ty. If he wants it, it\is believed that he can have the place nf district at torney for' the district without any trouble. If he can be judge of the new district, however, he naturally would not want it. If Linney is not named judge of the new district, itj is thought that there will be only four offices to be filled with outside tal ent. The Democratic North Carolina delegation in Congress will not, it is understood take any part in the figl'.i among the Republicans for the va rious offices. Their sympathies, how ever, are divided. Thomas J. Harkins, of Ashevilky seems to be the leading candidate for' district attorney of the Western' North Carolina district, although it is reported that Jake Newell, Char-j j lotte lawyer of "Razor Girl" fame/ will also seek that office. In the mid dle district, in the event that Linneyi does not want it, Marshall L. Mott,' | Jr. of Winston-Salem and H. S. Wi!-j I liams of Concord are expected to seek the office of district attorney. E. L. j Gavin of San ford, is also undrestoodi j to be a candidate for this office. | Kenneth Smathers, who made an! ; unsuccessful race against Represen tative Zebulon Weaver for Congress ! last fall, is said to be a candidate for ! assistant district attorney for thu | western district. Archie Elledgc of Winston-Salem is said to' seek this place in the middle district. ? ! Three ^ Republicans are understood; to be /in a receptive mood for ap-J pointment as United States Marshal for the middle district. They arc Clarence Call, of Wilkes, T. JS. Mc-J Crary of Davidson and Hcenan Hugh | es1 of Alamance. ) The only Democrat expected to -se cure a place by virtue of the crea tion of the new district is J. A.i Harkness, of Statesville. Clerks ,<)l j the court are named by the judges and it is reported that Judge E, Gkrroos-nwi -AT CLOSE OF DAY!

MURRAY MR. GASKILL DENIES RUMOR PUBLISHED BY JOURNAL1 Ravensford, Swain Co., N. C., , ?{ February 23rd, 1927 Mr. Dan Tompkins, Editor, Jackson Cpunty Journal, Sylva, North Carolina. Dear Mr. Tompkins:? Answering the question in your editorial of Feb. 16th, 1927. The Whitmer-Parsons Pulp & Lumber Company did not at any time change its operating policies on acocunt of the National Park Pio jeet. The Company was logging in the spruce area when the National Park was suggested. Contrary to these false rumors of hurried and in creased production, the Company cur tailed production "beginning last Oc tober, and are on a basis of curtailed production now. I know it is not your intention to be unfair but your remarks about the Suncrcst Lumber Company anj the upper reaches of Pigeon River are unfair because you do net carry on and say that the economic condi tions, were and are such that Lum ber manufacturers could not and cannot practice genuine forestry un der past an(] present economic con ditions. While we all acknowledge this truth of fact and get together for a square deal nil around genuine forestry can be made possible by fed eral legislation in co-operation with the states. The method lias been sug gested and considered workable but that the people as a whole would not bo interested in considering the cost of it so long as lumber could bt;, purchased at a reasonable price (rea sonable in comparison with other countries ifi the civilized world.) i During the twelve years v lumber Operations were carried on at Sun burst approximately eight million dollars were paid out in wages andJ two and a quarter million dollars for supplies purchased locally or in the twelve years ten and a quarter mil7 lion dollars were distributed in Wes tern North Carolina by this one op eration. Does it not intrigue the imag ination to picture what this ten and a quarter million dollars contributed towards building up this section of Yates Webb will appoint Mr. Hark ness as clerk of the western dis trict. J. Y. Joordan, Asheville law yer, (js said to also be a candidal <i for this place. . In addition to the major offices created, there will be a large numbei of minor officers to be appointed by the officers of the district. These | appointees will constitute the "army ! of Republican office holders" point i ed to with dread by some members of the state delegation in Congress before they ajrree,] to support the | third district bill. Friends of all the candidates are -pouring in endorsements on North > Oai}>]ina Sen a tun J and member*! ol' Congress, but the latter are planning to have practically nothing to do with the matter. They regard it as a Republican fitrht for officers in which they are not concerned. Of course, the two Senators will have to vote on the confirmations of the officers appointed, but unless some charges arc made against the appointees, it is doubtful if they will ' do mo-re than cast 'a perfunctory vote for confirmation. ?) LIGHTENING PLAYS HAVOQ The severe thunderstorm, Tuesday night played havoc in sections of Western North Carolina. The home of J. M. Cavenaugh in Canton was fired by a bolt of lightning and Mr. Cavenaugh, who was alone in the house escaped with his life, though the house and its contents were bad ly damaged in the fire. The barn of Golman Estes on Deep Creek Swain county, was fired by the lightning and, the build ing with the live stock and contents of the barn were destroved.
