Not until yesterday were there many arrivals. .Sunday the eity was almost . destitute of legislators, and the ad- "ivance guard of fijiee seekers found , only a few "Yarbprough House Col onels", and a stray legislator to lis- ten to their more or less meritorious ' 'claims" on the "party." ;.. Some of the wire-pullers that in fest every legislature were busy Sun day arranging ''slates" in the mter- est of their several friends who are here after jobs jobs great and small, with the usual sectional distribution of them among the claimants figuring ' conspicuously and with the adhesive , Hess that has put the average conrt " plaster to shame.

One of the most meritorious propo sitions of the sessions will be Sena- . tor ' Cotton 's registration of Land Title. Plan.

These doetorg are going to do eaoh ' ' other some real damage in - their scrao if a strong and alert referee is not placed on duty and kept con stantly on the job. - Reform in the method of taxation is an old friend whom I recognize almost - every session here. It's a great piece of injustice Jiie way much property escapes proper taxation while other property is borna down with every centime that caa 1m placed on it Bat it is no new thing in North Carolina. Let u hope that something along this promised "reform" will actually eventuate this session. :.., LLEWXAM. SPENCEB B. ADA1IS TBIES SUICIDE. Slashed His Throat from Ear to Ear - - Whh Baser. Spencer 8. Adams, of Greensboro. ex-enairman of the republican etate eommrttee, tried to commit suicide Sunday night about 9 o'clock by slashing iris throat from ear to ear with a keen razor. Since his return from Florida he has been in a de spondent mind, bis friends attributing the trouble to business and other mat ters. For several days he has not seemed exactly in his right mind and he was taken to Keeley Institute to be treated for nervous prostration. That Judge Adams is not dead is due to the fact that he failed to cut deep enough, and only about half of the windpipe was severed. As soon as the deed was discovered be was rush ed to St. Leo's hospital, -where his wounds were dressed and late Monday afternoon it was predicted that he would recover, barring any complica tions that might set in. Today's Greensboro News has the following concerning Judge Adam's condition: The condition of Judge Spencer B. Adams, Who Sunday night attempted to kill himself by cutting hie throat with a razor, was reported last night by his physicians as being about the same as when carried to the hospital. Judge Adams is still semi-conscious. Unless pneumonia, oedemia of the hroat, or other complications set in the physicians think his chances for recovery are good. Nothing was given out by those close to the Judge other than the fol lowing: - . "Two weeks ago Judge Adams re turned from a trip to Florida. He had been drinking heavily and a few days after bis return fie entered the Keeley Institute for treatment He is said to have appeared unusually de spondent, and the fears of friends and attendants' were realized when he was faOfestarfifcv WrtreaJrcUfc? ; 1 ouoge Aaams is one oi me leaning figures in North Carolina State pol itics, having been State chairman of the Republican party two yearg ago, and he has held positions of impor tance nnder the Government.

Special to The Tribune. - Raleigh, January 1 p. m. It looks like Donghton or Dowd for Speaker, unless these two Westerners divide so closely in caucus tonight that Battle, of Wake, or Koonce, of Onslow, may be nominated. Brown, of Columbus, and Barham, of Wayne, are strongly supported for President pro tern of Senate, with Pharr, of Meckleabrug, also a favorite. Among the probable certain nominations to night are W.

Sta ler, of Wilkes, or Kerr, of Caswell; Assistant Sergeant, Senate, Simmer lin, of Wayne; Principal Clerk of House, Cobb, of Burke; Reading Clerk of House, Arendell, of Wake; Door keeper of House, Kilpatrick, of Le- r; W.

DR. WM, H, 8HEPAED. lA Colored Ifaa Whose Life Has Been a Great Blessing to Els Race and Humanity. . Mr. Editor: I wish to refer to a visitor of Sunday Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Shepard, a returned missionary from Africa. This black man of Southern birth was for a number of years the backbone of the Southern Presbyte rian ehureh's mission work in Africa and it was pioneer work he did. Ear nest, consecrated man' that he is, splendidly educated and a gifted ora tor Shepard in Africa was a great force for good. Among a cannibalis tic people he turned thousands to God. Oppressed as they were by a 20th century despot it wag Shepard and his white eo-laborer, Dr. Morrison, who fearlessly protested and gave the world the story of commercial wrongs against an ignorant and help less people. It was these same two men who faced tnal and maintained their cause against great powers and gave freedom to thousands of jenight- ed Africans. SMiepard all but gave his hie to Africa. He left there a broken man with small hope of recovery. Since coming to his home land, how ever, he seems to be regaining health and the hopes and prayers of all good people are that he may he completely restored. Dr. Shepard was the guest of Scotia Seminary and made an address there Saturday night; his first public ut terance since reaching America. Many of ug recall a visit from him some years ago when he was heard by Con cord people. That the pnblio eould not have heard him on this visit is to be regretted, for this man i9 second to no man of his race, with the bare possible exception of Booker Wash ington. In Africa he was a world hero; at home a simple, earnest black man he is but one who deserves high honor and praise. If we delight to honor men of force, usefulness and courage we can readily recognize in this humble Southern "negro a type of man tully deserving. May Shepard recover and live long to work for the uplift of a needy race. CONCORDIAN. Other local matter on third page.

The attractive new home of Mr. and Mrs. John H Rutledge was the scene of a delightful party last evening when Mrs. Rutledge charmingly en tertained at a 6 o'clock dinner in hon or or her sister, Mug Blanche Brown. An elegant four course dinner was elaborately served, and the cordiality and Hospitality or the borne was un bounded. After the dinner bad been concluded the birthday cake of the nonoree was brought forth, complete ly surrounded by candles, the number of which signified the age of the guest of honor.
