For some time the name or Judge
M, R Justice, of Rutherfordton, has
been frequently mentioned in con
nection with the Democratic nomi
nation for a position on the Supreme
Court bench next year. Tuesday's
Raleigh News and Observer sets
this matter at rest by stating upon
the authority of Judge Justice's
friends that he will not be a candi
date for the position named, but will
be a candidate at that time - to suc
ceed himself as Superior Court judge,
which nomination he will doubtless
secure without opposition. So far,
Judge Clarke is the only candidate
for chief justice, and it is not likely
that an opponent will appear against
him, as it is pretty generally con
ceded that he has the call on that
nomination. For the associate jus
ticeship conceded to the West there
ere as yet but two candidates Char
les H. ArmGeld, Esq., of Iredell, and
Judge, W, A. Hoke, of Lincoln.
The Iredell Republican is a new
newspaper venture here by Mr. Ros
coe C. Mitchell, formerly editor of
the Graham Tribune. It is neat
and newsy and we wish it well.

Charlotte Kewi. 28th.
The town of Huntersvifle was in
vaded Friday night by robbers. They
entered the postoffice, which is in
Mullen's store, by removing a glass
irom a front window. They broke
off the knob to the safe door, but
finding it impossible to effect en
trance through the door they drilled
a hole in the bottom of the safe with
a chisel. They cut loose the rivets
and made a large hole in the safe. It
contained a large sum of money,. but
was so battered that it has not yet
been opened by the postmaster. The
robbers stole about U in pennies
from the cash drawer, and a Cana
dian 10 cent piece of the date of 1897.
The duly other article stolen in the
Dost office was a blue macKintobu
coat, buttonless in front.
The thieves broke in the uiacK-
smith hop of John Alexander and
stole tools. Next they entered
George Huey's store with a dupli
cate key and stole two razors auu
pistol cartridges. They tore-open
the cash drawer but found no money.
The next place entered was the
store of H. B. Sample, where sever
al pounds of tobacco were stolen.
There is no clue to the thieves. It
is supposed that they were the same
men who entered the store of the
Charlotte Hardware Com&any in

Columbia Wins the First Race.
New York Dispatch, 2Sth.
In the closest and most soul-stir-
rinar race ever sailed ior ine oia
America's cup, the white flyer Col
umbia today beat the uritisn cnai
lenger over a windward and leeward
course of ..thirty nautical miles by
the narrow margin of 39 seconds.
As Lipton's latest aspirant for cud
honors must allow the ueienaer -id
seconds on account of the extra 833
snnar-fi feet of canvas in her sail
area, the official record, under the
rules, gives her the victory by one
minute and twenty-two seconds
As. a snfto.tacle the 'contest was
suDsrb.From the time the two sky
scraping racers crossed the starting
line until thev fled across ' the finish
linp four and a half hours later the
result was in doubt and the excite
mfint, aboard the excursion fleet in
created until men became frenzied
anrl wnmp.n almost hysterical. So
evenly matched wwe these two
scientific racing machines that never
aft&r thev started were the riva
skinnprs nut of pach other's hail and
more than three-quarters of the time
they were so close that Uharne juarr,
who had the tiller aboard the Amen
can, could have tossed a ball to Cap
tain Svcamore. For miles as they
beat their way to the outer mark the
black shadow of the Shamrock's
huge club topsail was painted on the
big mainsail of the Columbia and for
an hour on the run home, with the
two vaohts flvinsr like sacred deer
before the following wind, they ran
almost beam to beam as if they had
been harnessed together,
NO RACE TUESDAY.
On account of lack of wind the
race Tuesday was a failure, the boats
failing to finish the race in the time
limit. When the race was called off
the Shamrock was about one-half
mile ahead. The next race comes

Labor Trouble in Charlotte,
Charlotte Special, 28th, to Raleigh Post.
A very ugly affair occurred here
tonight in front of the Tapp-Long
Company, one of the largest dry
goods houses in the city, in which a
union painter named Ulayton was
slashed across the back with a knife
The Tapp-Long Company recently
had a iob of painting done and did
not give the job to a union painter,
claiming that thy could get the
work cheaper by another bidder.
Tonight stickers appeared on boards
and other places here on which were
written the words "Unfair firm.
Tapp-Long Company work scab
painters and sell scab shoes. Keep
away." Several of these were plac
ed in front of the Tapp-Long store.
One of the clerks saw a man putting
a sticker on the window, it seems,
and made a rush for him. A warm
scuffle followed in which a man nam
ed Clayton, a union painter, was
cut across the back. Two union
painters have been arrested.
Of course each - side condemns
strongly what the other has done.
This is the first clash between union
men and outsiders that has occurred
here.

The Census Cotton Keport.
Washhington Dispatch, 28th.
The Census Bureau report, issued
today, on the cotton ginned in the
United States, shows the crop of
1900 to have been 10,486,148 com
mercial bales (bales as marketed').
equivalent to 10,123,027 bales of the
500-pound standard or to 5,061,513,
294 pounds. This is an - increase of
840, 174 commercial bales or, more
than 8 per cent, iuexcass of the 1899
crop. Texas grew 34 per cent, of
the entire crop of 1900 and one-foirrtb
of the world's crop of that year. Its
crop increased 33 per cent, over
1899, the 1900 crop being 3,536,506
commercial bales and the 1899 crop
2,658,555. East othe Mississippi
production decreased. Although
the crop of 1899 east of the Missis
sippi, which was 5,094,541 bales, was
generally regarded as short, that of
1900 was but 4,781,195, a decrease of
313,256. This loss was more than
offset by the gain3 -in the region
west and southwest of the Missis
sippi, where the yield was 5,341,832
in 1900, and increase of 25.7 per
cent. Following is the total r.ron nf
1900 in commercial bales by States:
Alabama 1,061,678, Arkansas 828,
820,, Florida 55,696, Georgia 1.270,

Oklahoma 116,875, South Carolina
780,782, Tennessee 227,601, Texas
3,536,506, Virginia 11,833. Utah's
crop in 500-pound bales is 31. It is
not given by commercial bales. The
Census Bureau announces that tne
report definitely establishes the fea
sibility of an annual report of the
cotton crop through the agencj j)t
