the whole, well taken and it is under
stood that showers, while welcome, will
not elireve the situation fully but that
a slow steady ain for at least a week
will be required for that. The showers,
moreover, are where most needed, which
is northeast Texqs.
Any piyospert of rea! relief, however,
will operate. as a check on the buying,
although as against that it is difficult
to see whee any heavy aggressive selling
will make its appearance unless it is
for speculative short account. Liquida
tion has been frequent and hedging lias
practically run its course for the season
unless it comes from the mills selling
against their rttohks of cotton. which
looks very improbable, in view of the
improvement iri g.-nds and the well
known scanty stocks resulting from the
hand to mouth pfUcy prevalent in all
branches of the trade for so long.
Existing prices discount mftch of
what is favorable in the sitnatiou to
date and suggest strongly that advances
be followed cautiously if at all but good
reactons pesent opportunities for pur
chases of which advantage should be
talfen, as matters arp shaping inem
sewes in sneh away as to ■ foreshad w
periods of much aux:ety ; as to the yield
next season and a large crop is practi
cally indispensable to meet probable re
quirements.

BACK CONCORD LAWYER FOR
mm ON SUPERIOR COURT
Friendh of Hon. Frank Armfield Want
Him Apctnted to Succeed Late Jtafas
Ben F.' Lang. > , -i
Friends in Concord and other sections
of the State are urging the npopintment
of Hon. Frank A raj field of this city, to
the Superior Court bench to succeed
Judge Ben F. Long, who died Saturday at
his home in StatesviHe, and at the solici
tation of his friends Mr. Armfield has
agreed to make the race.
Members of the bar took the
first step'jn the campaign for Mr. Arm
field, and individually and collectively
they have urged his appointment by Gov
ernor McLean, who will name Judge
successor. Other citizens of this
itrid other evties also have wired Governor
M<T,ean asking that he appoint Mr. Arm-
Meld. I ,
Mr. Armfield began the practice of Ipw
in 18fM after graduating from Trinity
College and the State University ' law
school. He was a student for one year at
the Vale law school. He has been very
successful as a trial lawyer and is rec
ognized throughout th# State as one of
the finest students of law in North Caro
tina.
Mr. Armfield lias been prominent in the
Democratic party for many years. He
served one term ns Mayor of Monroe,
was a member of the electoral college in
1904. served in the State Senate from
Cabarrus county and for two years was
chairman of the Cabaft-us County Demo
cratic Executive committee.
So far two other candidates in addition j
to Mr. Armfield. have entered thp race
for the judgeship. They are R. l-ee
Wright, member of. the Salisbury bar, ;
and John T. Brittain, member of the
Asheville bar.
Members of the Concord bar who. are
working especially hard fop the apoint
rnent of Mr. Armfield, have been in com
munication with lawyers in other cities
■ n this district and they ure much en
couraged by the manner in which Mr.
Armfield's candidacy has been received.
Mr. Armfield Endorsed, by Monroe Bar.
Monroe Enquirer.
At a meeting of the Monroe bar this
morning. Frank Armfield, of Concord,
was heartily endorsed as a successor of
Judge B. F. Long, who died at his home
in Statesville Saturday. Mr. Armfield
is a native of Monroe, the son of Mrs.
E. A. Armfield. and a member of a
prominent and influential family, and of
course of Democratic lineage. Also Mr.
Armfield is admirably fitted for a judge
ship, a student well versed in his profes
sion. His many friends know he would
fill Judge Long's place with ease arid
grace. It is the hope of Monroe and Un
ion county citizens that Governor Mc-
Lean may see fit to give Mr. Armfield the
appointment.
