At 8 o'clock, the hour that the daily reading is taken, the mercury had risen just one degree, being at that time 28.

Washington, D. C, Dec. 16. The government made purchases of 113, 112 acres and authorized the pur chase of 278,878 acres more . of for est lands in the North 'Carolina moun tain ranges under " the . Weeks for estry law during the fiscal year 1916, according to an. announcement made today by. the Department of Agricul ture. ,. The purchases , in North Carolina were made by areas as f olio ws : ' Pis-1 "Toe-hold, toe-hold," yelled a num ber of the wise ( ?) fans, who are ever on the alert to display their marked knowledge (?) of the finer points of the game. On the principle (that any other old rose might smejl as sweetj ' if the particular hold with which Hanson won the first fall I were called " a toe-hold, then the j standing crotch, or giant swing, might I just as well be called such, since 'ankle leverage' ''is.-as necessary to win in either way as was the. case in the hold Hanson used. In spite of Mr. McGurley's explanation of "what are and what aren't" the famous toe-grip, it was necessary for Turner to poke his leonine head out of his dressing room and call that he had been thrown with an ankle-hold, and. not the toe-hold, before some of the clamorous ones discontinued their waitings. The mistaken idea of some of these experts created more amuse ment than any other feature of the match and was greatly enjoyed by those who , easily recognized that Uanson's win was perfectly legiti mate and in accord with the estab lished rules of the game.

But everybody who knows Bailey will believe that had this phase of it been presented it would have en ticed him. He never objected to fighting his enemies. Bailey doesn't pray for these. His biographer will not write -that , down on him. Tho chronicler may omit to say that ho declines to use his enemies or that paradise may be barred to those who have won Bailey's hate; but Bailey's disposition of his -enemies is by fight.

Captain-General, morning to Watha, Raleigh, Dec. 16 Governor Craig is struggling with what in all prob-1 ability will be his last big appoint- j ment the selection of a judge, fori The second fall went to Hanson m the Seventh District to succeed Wltn a Stanamg croicn pharles M Ponke rpslcned. 1 This disagreeable job came to Governor Craig through the retire ment of Judge Cooke Monday and was ro-enforced when Collector J. W. Bailey declined the honor Thursday. When Bailey stepped, aside the open field play began and -Governor Craig is in the center of the rush." ,; Captain Albert Cox occupies ap parently the best position. He is in dorsed by perhaps the largest num ber of Ralelghites thought Senator W. B. Snow is always a judicial cal culation. One laying his sesterces where he would expect the biggest stake would bet on Cox. He is young, physically powerful, a good lawyer, popular, member of an old family which always had the "serve the state" ideal, and he is good' for an indefinite term on the bench. Governor Craig : has numberless lawyers from whom to choose. He Pn "idine. from . IxuJsburg and Franklin . county . would like to furnish the man. Had Judge Cooke retired a year ago Holding would have been formidable. " Then Bruce White, of Bickett-town, is eligible, a good lawyer, strong party man and geographically fit As the thing now stands Wake, has' judge and solicitor should .Captain Cox land. It would have been the same with Bailey and that is something that the governor may not avoid. Governor Craig has R. N. Simms, one of th.e ablest in law, physique andf oral fitness, but Simms is a big money-maker.1 too, and . likes home. i ' Bailey, declined, with great thanks f put declared that his private busi1 ness is such as to make his residence in 'Raleigh necessary." ' Everybody , knew that. Bd,rnng his father-In-. law, James H. Pou, no lawyer in Ra leigh draws a better income. : Bailey is a rich man now. - With great re- j spoct ' for. his expressed reasons, very few believp that business cuts the ice that, others things do. They James H. Taylor will command , the say. so and they think tn.gy.are nght, themselves. that "toe-hold" might have been called in this in stance also if the crowd had not com menced to disperse. Turner made a short talk in which" he stated that he had been defeatel by a better man and that he would try and send Big Brother Joe this way to trini Han son. . A match now between Joe Turnei and Hanson would be a corker since the Swede i is ,now nearer Joe's weight. . Turnerl . defeated Hanson last spring whtn they represented different classifications. After ihe Swede's work last night showing his marked improvement with extra weight, many, of the fans think that Turner would have "to go some, and then some more", before he could pin Hanson's shoulders to the mat.. Fans will also be. . interested to kno w that J Louis Lareaul the Un known, the 'Masked Marvel, etc!, - who j wrestled. o -brilliantly against .nan: son ' last spring, and who is rather unsatisfied with the victory which Hanson, won.jp . their last match, after, the Swede' had lost 'the first event, has " "written seeking another match?7 This n event would draw stronger than an anibitious porou3 plaster and it is probable that La reau T?iU cae this way Vithin the next few weeks. v ; v.
