FRIDAY, MARCH 25. iqio The Supreme Court Judgeship At the next election there will be elected three judges of the Supreme Court the successors of Chief Jus tice Clark awl Judges Walker aud Manning. That Chief Justice Clark and Judge Walker will he each nominated without opposition bv the Democratic State Convention seems to be generally conceded,. Both these gentlemen have demon strated their fitness for the Supreme Court Bench and thev deserve the uuopposed nomination of the party. The nomination ot Judpe Manning to succeed himself is alone contest ed; the gentleman who is making this contest is Judge W. R. Allen, of Goldsboro. Upou what ground is the coutesl made? The letters «ent out by the com mittee in charge-of Judge Allen's campaign place his contest upon the ground that he has discharged well the duties of ' Judge of the Superior Court for about eight years, and in this position rendered splendid service to the people of the State We have no desire and no pur? pose to detract one particle fiotn this fine service. But is this alone sufficient? There are other Judges upon our Superior Court Bench whose legal ability is generally re cognized as equal to Judge Allen's and whose service on the Bench has been larger If splendid service on the Superior Court Bench, aud length of service furnish the reason for promotion, then there are some Superior Court Judges who outrank Judge Allen in length of service and who equal him in ability. But why should Judge Manning alone, of three members of the Court to be nominated, be dented a nomination? Judge Manning was appointed by Governor Kitchin to fill the vacancy caused by Judge Connor's resignation; someone had to be appointed, of course, and the Governor is vested bv law with the appointing power. Judge Allen's name was present ed to the Governor; so was Judge Manning's; so were the names of other able lawyers in the State. Governor Kitchin had to decide, and he appointed Judge Manning. The concensus »f the State press comments at the time of the ap pointment was that the Governor had made no mistake. Judge Man ning's work as a number of the Supreme Couct lias confirned this opinion (of the press) and the wisdom of the Governor in the ap pointment. Governor Kitchin, of course, knew Judgt; Manning well, not only as a lawyer, but as a man and a Democrat. So far as we can, hear, the lawyers Of the State speak in terms of high braise of Judge Manning's opinions as a Judge of our Supreme Court. We accept their judgment upon that point. Appointed by a Democratic Gov ernor, *nd having "made good" oil the Supreme Court Bench, Judge Manning is entitled to the nomina tion ot our party, according to its unbroken custom and precedent. The endorsement of the Governor's appointee by nomination has, as we recall, been refused a very few times —three times —by District Conventions, but never as we recall, by a State Convention. Had Judge Connor remained on our Supreme Court Bench, the friends of Judge Allen would not be running him against Judge Con nor. Why, then, are they trying to defeat Judge Manning, who, every learned lawyer in the State concedes, is filling the position with great ability and fidelity? Under the circumstances the inference that there is a purpose to rebuke the Governor is so natural that those who prepared the letters sent Out from Judge Allen's headquarters in his behalf, could not overlook it; but in writing to the kuown friends of the administration state that they are not "figli'ing the Governor or his administration, although they are asking that the Governor's most important appointment, one of the most important acts of hys adminis tration, be repudiated. Judge Manning's friends are not asking his nomination merely be cause the Governor appointed him. He is hts opponent's equal in every respect—in learning, in ability, in experience, in temperament, in De njocracy, in character His ambi tion for the Supreme B.uch is as laudable and as well founded as his opponent's He was called irom and active practice to wear judicial honors, while his opponent was en- joying tiiem. He was honored without hurting hisjoppoiient. His opponent is seeking an honor which will necessarily hurt him, and a'so hurt the administration, and this, too, without helping the public, aud without helping the Democra tic party. We submit to thought ful men that Judge Allen's honora ble ambition to go on the Supreme Bench, but heretofore they have not sought it under circumstances that now exist, so far as we can re call. We are not questioning the right of anyone atauy time to seek any honor at the hands ot the people, but we ask just consideration of the whole situation before humilia ing one eminent and worthy Demo crat, whose friends are seeking for him an endorsement of his faithful and able judicial service, in order to honor another.

Presbyterian Church Organized During the past week very in teresting services we're conducted by Rev G. W. Belle in the Masonic Hall. For several months regular services have been held here where several PiesbyteriaUs are residents. M& Belk came here as Kvangelist for the Eastern section of the State. The meeting just closed was largely attended l>v people ot the town, who are always ready to help with their presence and sympathy. Mr. Belk is a man of power, full of the spirit of the mission 011 which he goes. His sermons are strong presentations of the truths of the Gospel, which sink deep into, 'the hearts of his hearers. He was as sisted in the meeting by Mr. 11. D Brown, of Wibon, who possesses a voice of remarkable power, and rendered the song service very at tractive. Sunday afternoon, a church or ganization was perfected with tl-v-n members. The plan is to erect a church edifice as soon as - * 'f arrangements ian be made, and Mr, r \ , Belk will continue to serve regular ly each mouth. Sunday night one candidate w%s presented for bap tism, this being the fiirst time the rite has been administered here by a Presbyterian minister. N Archdeacon Webber The Mission to be conducted by Archdeacon Webber a* announced last week, will begin on Wednes day night, April 6th. and continue through the following Sunday. The demand for the services of Archdeacon Webber may be seen, when it is knowu that Rev. Mr. Gordon has been in correspondence with him for over a year and has dot until now, been able to secure his presence bete. Mrs. W J. Whitaker Mrs. Ellen Whitaker, wife of Mr. W. Joseph Whitaker, was the daughter of Richard and Penelope Boyd, and was bom February Nth, 1849, near Conoho Meeting House it) the upper part of Martin Coun ty, and died at her home (the former Shepard > Sprnill place) about four miles'frcm Williamstoi', March 17, 1910 She was married to Mr. W.

Her husband is the son of Mr. | Stanley Whitaker, who was the' son of Elder William Whitaker J the pastor of Bear Grass and Sinitii wieh Churches, and one of the most earnest and revered ministers ever* born in Martin County. As Mr. W J. Whisker's parents died when he and his sister, Mary (the wife of Mr. Jacob Spivevi were quite young, they were reared bv their geandfather, Elder William Whitaker. By great industry and economy, Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker acquired a good estate. Mrs Whit iker was a zealous and consistent member of the Church She had been a great sufferer from several diseases for many \ears, but bore her afflictions with Christ,liu fortitude and felt willing to die Good physicians and nurses attended her.
