Election Will Not Now Be Held. The bill which has boon pending in the House of Representatives for sometime past, introduced by Mr. Duggan and which provided for an election to be bold in Oc tober to determine whether the people desire to elect the .Judge and Solicitor by popular vote in November was heard by the Senate commitee last Tuesday and re ported adversely by unanimous vote. Several citizens of the county were heard by the committee against, the bill urging objections thereto, the principal objections urged being that the Governor had been making those appoint ments for n long number of years and there had been no dissatisfac tion on account of the custom, and that to force an election in the October general election would not got the sentiment of the white people as several hundred negroes would likely vote and this would bring a bad election at this time. It was furthermore brought to the* at to:.t ion of the committee that the terms of the present judge and solicitor of the City Court do not expire until November 1st, 11)09, and that tho next Legislature will convene several months before that time, with ample time for Representatives Joiner and Lord to pass such act rpthe people may then desire, with the advantage then of tin' opportunity to settle the matter by the white voters of the county, it the people then wish to elect these officers by direct vote. It is understood no reference was made at the hearing to the Smith-Brown race, but. this ob jection has been urged by Mr. Brown’s frjomls here, they pointing out that the matter won.d naturnlv cause some feel ing that the bill took for granted that the incoming governor would not take into consideration the best interest of t lie county in the appointments. It is thought bv many that to leave it in the hands of the gov ernor will give general satisfac tion.
