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.

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.

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.
