ROXBORO. N. C, FEB. 13, 1895.
Judge Robf. W. Winston has re
signed. His resignation was sent to
Governor Carr on Monday to take
effect on the appointment of his suc
cessor. This step of Judge Winston's
was quite a surprise to everybody
He bas been on the Bench for four
years, and in that time has won quite
a flattering reputation as an able,
impartial and eourteous Judge.
Wherever he has been he has made
friends, and is justly regarded by the
bar aud the laity as one of the clear
est, ablest and best furnished men
upon the bench. He has connected
himself with the well known law
firm of Fuller & Fuller, of Durham,
for the practice of law, and has al
ready moved to his new home. Dur
ham is to be congratulated on secu
ring Judge Winston as a citizen.
Mr. W. W. Fuller, of the firm has
been tendered the position of chief
attorney for the American Tobacco
Co., with headquarters in New York
City. It said that the appointment
carries with it a princely salary. We
are proud to see Mr. Fuller's ability
in his chosen profession recognized
in such a substantial manner; but
we regret to see him leave North
Carolina. He is one of the most
useful citizens the State has. For
some years, though a young man, he
bas received the largest income of
any lawyer in the State.
Several prominent lawyers in the
district were mentioned in conuection
with the Judgeship. The appoint
ment, we see froaa this mornings
News and Observer, haa been ten
dered Hon. A. W. Graham, and it is
thought he will accept. This is a
good appointment, and one that will
be appreciated by Mr. Graham's
friends throughout the district. He
18 an able lawyer, a conscientious
christian gentleman, and we believ
will perform the duties of his office
in a manner that will reflect credit
oh himself and an h nor to the peo
pie ot his district. To the three
gentlemen mentioned aboye the
Coubieb extends its best wishes for
their happiness and success.
The "steering committee," other
wise known as the "visiting states
men," with their paid attorney, have
at last succeeded in getting an elec
tion bill leady to submit to the Leg
islature. The more important fea
tures of the bill will be found else
where in this issue. It has already
been submitted to the Fusion cau
cus and approved by that body, and
we s-uppoEe will pass the Legislature
on Bhort notice.
THE NEW ELECTiON BILL.
The caucus conimitteand the cau
cus itself have enrolled the bill
some of its Principal Features.
The caucus committee has accept
ed the new election law as drawn by
ex-Judge Spier Wbitaker, counsel
for the special steering committee.
Great care was given to the prepara
tion of this bill. Here are all its
principal features they are offici
ally given to me : Two boxes and
two ballots. One ballot contains
names of State officers, justices and
judges and Congressmen. The other
box is for all other officers. Regis
trars of eleetion are appointed by the
clerk of court, one for each political
party. Poll-holders are appoiu'ed
in the same way. Beth registrars
and poll-holders are nominated by
the State chairman of each political
party. Thy bill defines as a politi
cal party one which in the last elec
tion for Governor and other State
officers received 30,000 votes and
thus recognizes three parties in this
State. There will be two messen
gers sent from each polling place as
soon ;ss the returns are made out.
One of these takes the returns to the
register of deeds, the other messen
ger takes them to the clerk of the
court. The returns iryst be so re
ceived by the clerk and register with
in twenty-four hours after they are
prepared, and receipts for them must
be given to the messengers. The
polls are to close at the usual time, ,
sunset. As soon as the ballots are
counted they are replaced in the box
in which they were deposited or in
another specially prepared for tiiat
purpose, and this is to be fasteued
and sealed, and the boxes are to be
at once sent to the Supeiior Court
clerk, who is made county canvasser
He adds up the figures of the
election returns, but has no judicial

Hon. George Wise tells ine that
Some days ago it was given out
that Otho the grand Gideon chief
of North Carolina, was to have the
Kailrotd Cemmissionplum ; but for
some cause, it seems that after all he
is not to get this responsible place
News comes now that a Republican
has drawn the lucky number, and
his name will be given to the public
in a few days. So the "child of the
Populists" will have to go to the Re
publican party. It looks a little like
Mr. Butler has had to take the back
track on this matter. Well, it is bad
for Otho, but we gness the State can
stand it. The loaves and fishes seem
to be a little scarce for the crowd
who are in charge at Ealeigh.
The interest bill making the rate
of interest in North Carolina 6 per
cent, passed the Senate almost unan
imous some days ago, and was decid
ed by the House Finance Committee
to make a favorable report, which
practically means that it will pass
that body. We notice only two votes
in the committee against the bill.
This is a measure which has been
much discussed for several years,
and one on which the people, regard
less of politics, are divided. Many
think it will be a good law and will
work advantageously for the people,
while others think it will be a disad
vantage to the progress of the State.
The Caucasian is after some of the
Fusionists with a sharp stick. It
says some of the Co-Operationists or
Fusionists are lobbying in the inter
ests of trusts. Mr. Butler should
not kick at this, for they had to get
the trust men to make the official
bonds of the men they elected to of
fice. And more than that, the very
man whom he and the Fusionist
Legislature supported for U. S. Sen
ator was an attorney for one of the
strongest railroad corporations in
this country;. 'No, the Co-Operation-ists
are only following Mr. Butler's
own example, and he should not
kick.
