THE RACE FOR
JUDGE
—♦ —
THE BAXLEY MAN ANNOUNCED
HIS WITHDRAWAL YESTERDAY.
WHICH OCCASIONED SOME SUR
PRISE IN LEGAL CIRCLES.
THIS TURN IN THE MATTER IS
TAKEN TO MEAN THAT THE
GOVERNOR INTENDS TO AP
POINT JUDGE WILLIS DART.

terday from Judge T. A. Parker an
nounced the fact tha! that getit’enuui
had withdrawn his application re
cently tiled with the governor asking
for the appointment of the Judgship
of the Brunswick circuit for the short
term, and made vacant by the resig
nation of Judge Bennett.
Tnis action on the part ot Judge-
Barker created some surprise In this
city, and has served to complicate
the situation to a certain extent.
However, it seems* to he the fhi
pression among the lawyers generally
that, this development means that the
governor has decided to appoint
Judge Willis Hart, of Douglas to the
position.
Tnis conclusion is backed up by an
article in the Atlanta Journal of yes.
torday, in which it is stated that the
appointment would go to Judge Dart.
Hon. K. G. Dickerson and Col. A.
E. Cochran, the former of Clinch and
the latter of Ware, are both appli
cants for the place, however, and the
unexpected may happen.
Judge Dart, is an old Brnnswickian
and has nvahy friends in this city who
would like to see him succeed to the
mantle of Judge Bennett.

faeti.iy, the discharge healthy, the
temperature is Important as Indicat
ing that the occasional pain experi
enced in the wound bad no sinister
significance. Nourishment was taken
and cheerfulness maintained.

with the Prince of Wales and the
royal princesses. The queen has vis
ited the sick man several times. Tim
definite statements issued by the Lan

that the conditions simply are perityph-
Iytis, that the right medical opinion
has been sought, that the right pro
ceedure has been followed and that
no symptoms of malignant disease

SOUTHERN
CHANGES
AFTER JULY FIRST NEW TICKET
ARRANGEMMENTS ARE -
EFFECTIVE.
A circular has been issued by tho
passenger department of Iho South
ern and received, giving instructions
to ticket agents and conductors as
to ticket arrangements between
Southern railway points and, Jackson
viilo after July 1, when tho trackage
rights obtained by the Southern from
t'ne Plant system become effective.
After that date Jacksonville will
he considered a loea-I point on the
Southern and tickets to it will be
sold in all Southern ticket oiliitxs
north of Hardeeviile. S. C„ and west
of Jos up. The Jacksonville office will
seii to aii such points.
The instructions given in the cir
cular make it plain that the South,
ern will not compete with tile Atlam
tic Coast line for any local business,
on the line between Savannah and,
Jacksonville. Tickets will not be 'sold
at tne Southern office in Savannah
for Jacksonville, nor at the Jack
sonville office for Savannah.
Ticket agents at Savannah or
lacksonviUc will not sell tickets to
Brunswick or to other points on the
Southern railway east of Jesup, but
ticket agents at Brunswick and other
points east of Jesup will sell both to
Savannah and Jacksonville, using in
terline forms.
Mileage books issued by the South
ern, the Alabama, Great Southern,
or the Coneinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific will be good for trans
portation on Southern trains between
Savannah and Jacksonville when
holder is enroute to or from points
north ot Hardeeviile,or west of Jesup.
The sa.iK- rule app'ies to excess bag
gage books.
Since t o fl-nnounocm-.nit that the
Southern had secured trackage rights
over the line between Savannah and
Jaclomnvolie, tho question as to what
its fPkoting arrangements would be
has been one of great interest. How
ever, it has been generally believed
that some arangement would lie made
that would cause no competition be
tween Die Southern and the Atlantic
Coast line.
OPELIKA AND AUBURN LINE.
Boston Capitalists Are After Fran
chises for Electric Road.
Opelika, Ala., June 28.—A party ot
Boston capitalists have employed an
attorney to secure for them a fran
chise for an electric car line through
the streets of Opelika and Auburn.
They have secured an option on the
Wright’s mill property, which is one
of the most beautiful scenic spots in
the south.
A vast tract of land will be laid oil
into parks if the plan goes through,
and an elegant hotel will be built
which will tie used as a summer and
winter resort for northern people. The
whole enterprise is to lie conducted on
a vast scale-. The. road leading to tho
stream that furnishes water power
runs at an angle of 45 degrees for a
mile and at the foot of it the bridge
over Die streapi is a hundred feet from
the water, so that the possibilities for
a vast water power are unlimited. A
dam 400 feet long and 100 feet high
would give enough electric power to
run every street car and light every
town and city in Alabama.
That the capitalists have a fortune
in their option there is no doubt, an 1
that it is one of the most important
moves in the way of development
made in Alabama in a long time is ap
parent.
