JUDGE WHITAKER RESIGNS
And Recommends W. R. Allen
for Judge.
Today judge Whitaker addressed ta
the governor the following letter:
'l beg leave to tender to you mv
resignation of the office of judge of
the superior court, to take -ffect ou
the 20: Ji of August, 1804. I have the
honor to be, your obedient servant,
Si'ita Whitakkb."
He also wrote another letter to the
governor, as foil iws:
"ltairu& me pleasure to recommend
to yit the appointment of W. R.
Allen, Ksq., of Wayne county, as judge
of the superior court for the fourth
judicial district, to fill the vaot.ncy
made by my resignation. With great
respect, your obedient servant, "
Spier Whitak&r" .
The governor at once, in accordance
with judge Whitaker's request, ap
pointed Mr. Allen judge, his commis
sion taking effect August 20. Judge
Whitaker wrote judge Allen the fol
lowing courteous letter: "At my re
quest his excellency the governor has
appointed you judge of the superior
court for the fourth judicial district,
to (ill the vacancy caused by my res1g
nation, your appointment to take
effect on the 20th of August next. 1
have the pleasure of enclosing to you
your commission. 1 have no doubt
you will be nominated by acclamation
to succeed yourself. Please accept my
congratulations and believe me, with
great respect, your obedient servant,
Srimt Whitaker."
Judge Whitaker's action in thus
resigning in favor of Mr. Allen wins
him many kind words. He was ap
pointed to the superior court bench In
December, 1889, by Gov. Fowle and
the following year was nominated by
a heavy majority, after a warm con
test in the convention. He will after
his retirement, August 20, resnnie the
practice of law here.
A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.
A Civil Service Examination for
the Indian Service.
Mr. Josephus Daniels writes the
Charlotte Observer, from Washington,
as follows: The United States civil
service commission will hold an exami
tion in Raleigh ou July 20 and 21 for
the purpose of examining applicants
for appointment in the Indian service.
Following is a list of the positions in
the Indian service with the salaries at
attached to each: (1) primary teachers,
500 to $600 per anWn; (2) advanced
primary teachers, .$600 to $720 per
per annum; (3) principal teacher, $720
to $900 per annum; (4) superintendent.
$1,200 to $2,000 per annum; (5) ma
trons, $500 to $720 per annum, few
paying less than $500.
The chances for appointment are
very good under the examination for
teachers, for both men and women
Those who take the examination for
superintendent or assistent superin
tendent may, upon request, be treated
as also on the teacher registers.
All persons desiring to be examined
should make application at the earliest
practicable date in order that arange
mentH may be made for their examina
tion. Blank applications and full in
formation concerning these examina
tions will be furnished upon applica
tion to the civil service commission,
Washington, D. C.
These positions are in many respects
more desirable than clerkships in
Washington, and I advise those desir
ing positions in the public service of
this character to be present at Raleigh
and take this examination. Teachers
will find the examination in line with
the examinations held by the best
county superintendents.
A Concert for Caraleigh.
A concert for the benefit of the un
fortunate people at Caraleigh mills,

eral admission will be 25 cents. Re

THE SOLDIERS' HOME.
What Is Going1 on Among the
Veterans There.
A reporter this morning visited the
soldiers' home on the eastern exten
sion of Newberu avenue. The super- '
iuteudeiit was not in but one of the
"vets," Mr. Pool, who is the nest old- I
est at the home, his age 'being (63.
kindly showed him over the buildings. ;
Besides the main building, which has
eleven rooms, there are five others.be
sides the barns, it., including a
kitchen and hospital. 1 lie re are at
present 51 living at the home. The lo
cation and the water are excellent and
the health of the veterans remarkably
good. There are fifteen of them sick,
but none seriously, nor do any of the
cases of sickness come from local
causes as they arise for the most part
from feebleness from injuries received
during the war or from age.
There is generally a good breeze
blowing anil the veterans sit around
on the broad verandas which surround
the houses.or in the seats in the yard,
and talk about the war times or play
with the pets which are owned by
many of them. The attractions in this
line at present are two young foxes
belonging to Mr. H. H. Capps, of
Johnston comity. They are as gentle
and playful as kittens and are great
pets. Mr. Capps took them down
town July 4.
There is a good library iu the main
building, filled with all sorts of books
and periodicals. The "vets" seem to
be enjoying life and are perfectly con
tented. They all speak in the highest
terms of the superintendent, ('apt.
Fuller, and of the large-hearted bene
factor of the home, Mr. W. ('. Stron
