THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NO. 235. PARKER IS OUT OF 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. A telegram received in the city yes 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 that getit’enuui had withdrawn his application re cently tiled with the governor asking for the appointment of the Judgship of the Brunswick circuit for the short term, and made vacant by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. LANCET ON KING’S CONDITION.
