It is indeed gratifjiofj to his
friends here to read the many
complimentary references by the
press of the State to justice Avery,
upon his retirement from the Su
preme Court bench. We are proud
of the reputation he has made and
Burke is more than glad to claim
him as her sen. The Charlotte
Observer of Sunday says :
It was noted in our Raleigh cor
respondence yesterday that with
the adjournment ot the Supreme
Court for the holidays, Justice
Avery retires from the bench, his
term having expired. The event
is one worthy to call forth regret
from all the good people of the
State. Judge Avery is a very able
man and a thoroughly finished
lawyer and judge. Any good
lawyer in the State will say that
he is among the ablest men who
have sat upon the bench in North
Carolina in half a century. As a
judge of the Superior Court he
demonstrated such capacity for
the judicial office that promotion
came naturally. As a justice of
the Supreme Court he has more
than ever sustained his reputation;
more than justified the best ex
pectations entertained concerning
him He has had a high concep
tion of the responsibilities of his
great office and a keen apprecia
tion of what was due the. public
xrom one occupying his station.
He knows .the law and if in any
case its meaning'has been obscure
his native Wisdom has led him to
a just arijd logical conclusion.
With a natjural fondness and apti
tude for politics, he has, upon the
bench, been a lawyer aad a judge,
pure and simple. No power on
earth could or can swerve him
from what.appears to him to be
right. Abie, well-balanced, deep
learned, he nest, concientious, just,
he has beeb the ideal judge and
the State, in losing him from the
bench, loses much. Of the man
as a man anything good might be
said with truth. Brave and hon
orable, gentle as a woman, with
out malice, open, sincere, he wears
worthily a distinguished and an
honorable name, one which has
long adorned our annals and been
intimately associated with our
best history and traditions. The
people in the State have learned
to revere him as a judge and their
best wishes will follow him into
private life.
As will be seen from a clipping
in another column, Mr. C. B.
Moore, Republican, of Asheville,
has been appointed clerk of the
Federal court at Asheville, the
place having been made vacant by
the death Mr. R. O. Patterson.
Along with many Republican ap
plicants, there were a number of
Democratic candidates for the po
sition, but as the Asheville Citizen
remarks, " it made little difference
whether there was one or many
Democratic candidates for the
clerkship, as the naming of a Re
publican was a foregone conclu
sion. Democrats may, with the
same probability of success, an
nounce themselves candidates for
Collector and Postmaster after
March 4th. Unanimity or discord
amongst Democrats are alike dis
regarded by Republicans when
they have places to give to their
partisans."
A Handsome Compliment to Oar Towns
man Mr. C. F. McKesson.
Franklin Times.
Rarely is there accorded to
any community a purer pleasure
than that enjoyed by the large
assemblage of the people of
Louisburg and many others, in
our Opera House on last Sun
day afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock,
there assembled to listen to an ad
dress upon the Holy Bible by Mr.
Charles F. McKesson' of Morgan -ton,
N. C. The scene in its mauv
striking features was indeed a
most inspiring one. The large
room, floor gallery and stage,
crowded by a very large and appre
ciative audience, the full choir of
fifty voices accompanying the
hweet notes of the organ, all led by
an accomplished Precentor, the
unbroken attention during the
delivery of the entire address for
over an hour, the tine presence of
the speaker, while the address it
self was a classical gem lit up by
rays of pure spirituality, reflecting
the delicate and well shaded light
of Mr. McKesson's keen apprecia
tiouofhis Blessed Theme these
were some of the more striking
features of the rich entertainment
It is not, in any sense, too much to
say, that our people will be only
too glad to welcome Mr. McKesson
again among us, whether he comes
to give as another lecture or ir
his charming role of the cultured
Christian gentleman to visit us
sociallv.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
What 1 Heine Talked About at the Na
tional Capital During the Conjrrrstlonal
. lleceas. .
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Dec. L'S. Con
gress not beting in session, the
tariff barons who were hi and
around the ways and means com
mittee room at the capitol, in
which Mr. Dingley and his repub
lican associates ou the committee
to-day began the public hearings
upon the several schedules of the
proposed new Dingley tariff bill,
were the centre of attraction. The
schedule upon which today 'd hear
ings were based was that embrac
ing spirits, wines and other bever
ages, me republicans Had ex
pected that the South would bp
larsrelv represented amnnf flmsft
asking for favors under this sched
ule, uuc tuey were uisappointed.
The next schedules to bo taken nn
will be that of cotton goods, fol
lowed by that ou sugar and mo
lasses.
There seems to be a treneral dis
position to misunderstand the issue
raised between Congress aud the
President bV Secretarv Olnev whan
he said thnt-the Presideut would
uot obey a joint resolution, even if
passed over his veto,directing him
to recognize the independence of
Cuba, because the President alone
uaa the right to decide such ques
tious. It is not contended by the
Senators who will oppose Secretary
Olney's position that the President
has uot the right to recoguize a
new State without referpiirrp rn
Congress; ou the contrary, they
freely concede him that rio-hr..'
They claim, however, that a joint
resolution of Consrress when it he-
comes a law, whether by ordinary
metnorts or by being adopted by a
two tuiras vote over the Presi
dent's yeto, is just as binding upon
the President as any other law.
In other words, that while the
President may exercise his discre
tion as 'to recognition in the ab
sence of cougressional action, it is
iu the power of two thirds of Con
gress to compel him to obey its
behests, in recognizing the inde
pendence of a new state, as well as
in anything else. The claim that
Congress wished to deny the
President's right to act independ
ently of it iu recognizing a new
state has been put forward to
muddle the question. The question
will not be settled soon, anyway,
as the Cameron resolution for the
recognition ef Cuba hasn't the
slightest show to get through the
House, and will be lought stoutly
rn the Senate.
The announcement that Repre
sentative and Senator elect Money,
of Mississippi, who is a member of
the House committee on foreign
affairs, had taken advantage of the
congressional recess to go to Cuba
for the purpose of making a per
sonal investigation of thesituation,
has caused much gossip in Wash
ington. While everybody knows
that Mr. Money means wells, there
is a disposition to regret the pub
licity which has been given to his
trip, because it looks like a reflec
tion upon our State Department
and its agents in Cuba.
Confidential agents of the Wana
maker and the Choate senatoriaf
booms have been working on the
frieuds of McKinley in order to
get him to throw his influence'ou
their side. But they have not suc
ceeded. While there is little doubt
that most of the original McKinley
men would rather see Wanamaker
sent to the Senate from Pennsyl
vania than Quay's man, Penrose,
who, by the way, is being sup
ported by the National A. P A.,
ahd Choate elected Senator from
ew York instead of Piatt, but
they cannot see a good enough
chance for either to win to advise
McKinley to take a stand that
would make Quay and Piatt the
open enemies of his admistration
Hon. Wm.S.HoIman, of Indiana,
whose familiar face and rigid
views on government economy
have been missed from the present
House, has been elected a member
of the next, and is more deter
mined than ever to live up to the
reputation he made as the "watch
dog of the -Treasury." When the
republicans take the first step to
wards an increase of extravagance
by the introduction of a new tariff
bill, at the extra session, that will
furnish mor,e money to be spent, it
is the purpose of Judge Holman to
make a speech, in which, if he can
not prevent extravagance, he will
at least attempt to make it clear
to the people that it exists under
present expendituies; he will also
endeavor to show that the expendd
tures of the government should
not exceed 350,000,000 a year, and
that it they were reduced to that
amount the present tariff would
ii ounce an annual surplus of $100
000,000, which could be applied to
the reduction of the bonded debt
The Pacific railroad lobbyists are"
so uneasy about the prospect of
the funding bill to come up in the
House. January 7th, that they have
followed Representatives out of
town in . order to talk to them in
favor of the bill during the recess
The opponents of the bill are also
active, and the four days it will be
under discussiou in the House are
uot at all likely to be dull
Auditor Hold's Brother Married.
Lenoir Topic, 22d.
Mr. E. F. Reid, auditor of the
Chester & Lenoir lailroad, went to
Louisburg last week" to be present
at the marriage of his brother, Mr.
J. L. Reid, agent of the Seaboard
Air Line at Kittrell, N. C, to Miss
Ada Alice Tucker, of Franklin
county. The Neics and Observer
says :
''"The marriage took place on
the afternoon of Wednesday, the
1 i th, at the residence of the bride's
father, Mr. W. E. Tucker, residing
near Louisburg. A reception was
held that night at Kittrell at the
residence of the groom's mother.
It is rarely that two young people
set sail for the voyage of life more
auspiciously. The bride is one of
the most beautiful and estimable
young women of Franklin county
Mr. Reid is one of four brother's,
all noted for special aptitude in
railroad work. Than he, the S A.

WHITE HOU8B 8ANTA CXACS,
fllad Tim fur Bath and Esther and Their
Little Friends
Washington Post, 26 th.
r i . ...
vnnsimas was celebrated in a
joyous, homelike fashion at the
White House. The children not
only of the President but of the
entire cabinet circle, held high
carnival in the White House
libraty. A noble fir tree stood
in the center of the big semi
circular room, so tall that it
touched the lofty ceiling, and so
thick and broad that it almost
filled the large room.
Until late in the night many
willing hands had worked, under
Vrs. Cleveland's direction, in beau
tifying this Christmas tree, and as
it stood yesterday morning, when
the bright sun'of Christmas Day
shone upon its tinsel and gifts and
sparkled on the artificial snow and
the pedant icicles and betrayed
some pretty toy or knicknack con
cealed in the thick foilage, it was
a tree worthy of the White House.
The children were early awake
up, indeed, even before most 'of
the servants and were soon gloat
ing over the presents that lay piled
uparound the foot of the tree and
over the contents of their stock
ings, which were generously filled
by Santa Claus.
After breakfast the visitors te
gan to arrive children of the
members of the cabinet, and the
day's enjoyment was fairly begun.
There were presents for each of
the little ones from Mrs. Cleve
land, and in turn most of the visi
tors brought pretty tokens of re
membrance for the Cleveland
children. Esther and Ruth, who
have gotten along nicely in the
study of German, gave some pret
ty recitations, and there were
some Christmas stories told and
some Christmas carols sung.
The President and Mrs. Cleve
land exchanged presents, as has
Deen their practice ever since their
marriage, and all of the em
ployees of the White House re
ceived some aDnrnnriat anH
useful token of esteem.
