His Excellency, Locke Craig, Governor of North Carolina, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir Owing to my ill health I hereby tender my resignation as Judge of Superoir Court of Tenth Judicial District to take effoct Sep tember 21st, 1913. I have hoped that the summer vacation would enable me to recover my health and discharge my duties on the Bench; but I am now advised by my physician that in order to regain my strength I must discontinue my labors as judge. Although my work has at no time been light and often onerous vet at all times it has been pleasant and I have found a kind and generous reception in the many counties where I have held court. I especially regret that I am unable to fill out the term to which I was elected by the people and that I must resign without holding all the courts of my home district. Most respectfully, H. A. FOUSHEE. Appointment of Judge Devin. To the Public Ledger: We accept the news of the ap pointment of our young, talented, christian gentleman and able law yer, W. A. Devin. to the judgeship to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Foushee, of Durham county, by Gov. Lock Craig with a great deal of pleasure and delight. The Governor will never have any cause to regret his ap pointment of Granville county's foremost young man to this im portant trust. His name represents in Granville all those faculties rec ognized in a first-class lawyer and consciencious christian gentleman. He has always been an important factor in everything that went to develop Oxford or Granville county in all lines of progress and advance ment and we predict that he will add dignity to the bench and serve his State with honor and ability. And now that we must lose his services as representative in the General Assembly that is fraught with so much important legislation for the people of North Carolina, it becomes necessary to look with care for a man well versed and informed upon the questions that so many of our people are vitally interested in, frieght rate, constitutional amend ments, etc., who has the courage of his convictions and the ability to delve deep down into these ques tions and ascertain the rights for both the sovereignty . ol North Carolina and the corporations which traverse its confines. I know a man in whom I think all those qualities can be found. A man who is a Democrat of the strictest sect and who has always stood square all around on all public questions and whose sincerity and ability has never been questioned. His devotion to duty and his ability to discern the best interest of the people have al ways been his chief characteristics knd that man is known by every man in Granville county Judge A. W. Graham. We hope to see him in the extra session of the Leg islature and when the question of freight rates and other important matters comes up the people of Granville county will have nothing to fear from their end of the situa tion. Let us have Graham, a pro gressive Wilson Democrat for the legislature. Yours truly, VOTER. NOTICE SPECIAL ELECTION Notice is hereby given that in pursuance of a writ of election is- sued by the Hon.
