Contest Over Office of State Bank Ex-
aminer.
The appointment of State Bank Ex-
aminer falls due soon, as the term of Mr.
Charles R. Written, of Augusta, expires
on the fifteenth of this month MIR.
Written has held the position for one
term, of three years. 1t has been the re-
cent usage to reappoint the bank ex-
aminer. Hon. Fred e. Richards held
the place nine years, and then resigned.
Hon. Geo. d. Bisbee after his first term
was reappointed; but resigned during his
second. term. Mr.. Whitten and his friends
have supposed that the same precedent of
reappointment would be followed this
year. especially as Mr.. Written has been
faithful and able official. But within
a few days an unexpected situation has
developed. Hon. f. e. Timberlake, of
Phillips, has been engineering very
comprehensive still hunt, and has collect
ed strong support. This has taken Mr..
Whitten's friends by surprise; and there
is now going on considerable remarkable
hustling.
