JUSTICES ELECTED SATURDAY.
Old Magistrates Re-Elected in Nearly
All the Districts.
Elections were held in all ex
cept three districts in this couuty
for justices of the peace and con¬
stables last Saturday. In Dearly
every instance the former officer
ivas re-elected. I u two districts,
the 44th and 1320th, there was
a
contest for the office, but in both
districts the old justice won out.
Iu three districts, the Bay,
Emit and Blitch uo elections
were held, the people being cou
tent to allow the present officers
to hold over under their old com
missions, which read: “Until
your succesior is elected.” The
idea was that there was no use to
go to the trouble of holding an
election, when the

The Oovernor Sent His Appointment
To the Senate Wednesday.
Wednesday’s papers contained
the intelligence of the appoint¬
ment of A. F. Lee to be solicitor
of the county court of this county.
The appointment was sent to the
senate Wednesday, and it
already beeu confirmed.
This is anothev instance of the

the fight was first b egun
the resignation of Mr. Deal,
were three candidates f° r
position—R. Lee Moore, W. V.
^ler aud A - * ^ee /he gov
appointed Mr. Moore, but
his appointment was defeated in
the senate by Mr. Tyler’s friends.
Thus far the fighting was done by
Messrs. Moore and lyler, and Mr,
T L po e was was not t cuttins entt ng much fteure g
for the position. But he had his
endorsements before the governor,
and when that official was ready
to make auother appointment !
which he had beeu forced to do
by the defeat of Mr. Moore, these
endorsements caught the govern¬
or’s eye. Lee’s appointment was
the result.
Mr. Lee had only Saturday been
elected justice of the peace for
this district, but as he cannot
hold both offices, he will gladly
resign that position. Therefore
auother election will be necessary
for justice of the peace.

an absence of two or three weeks.
