Newport News. Va. Dec. 2O.-The
City Fathers are in a quandary over
the filling of the vacancy caused by
]. X. NJ. Newton, who was ex-oflicio
City Attorney.
| Before the Legisla ture adjourns 1t
| will be asked to separate the two offices
SO as to give the city a City Attorney
|. and u Commemorative Attorney. In
| the meantime the two offices are com
bined.
The question has now arisen as to
how Mr.. Newton's successor shall be
appointed. UP until few days ago
Judge Barham, of the Corporation
Court. was under the impression that
the filing of the vacancy was his own
peculiar prerogative, but since that
time his attention has been called to
the language of the charter, which
says that vacancies in the case of cor
porate officers shall be filled by the
Council. The language OF the charter,
as we'll as the language of the 1897
amendment to the Code. admits clearly
the theory that the Council has n right
State officers. such as the Treasurer,
Commemorative Attorney, Commits
sioner of Revenue and others.
Judge Barham now inclines to the
opinion that it Is the duty OF the Coun-
ell to act, but he Is not certain The
members OF the bar here are divided on
the point. and 1t is probable that the
matter will yet be referred to the At
torney General before any action Is ia
ken by the Council
THE CANDIDATES.
In the meantime there are two can
didates announced for the appointment
one Of them being J. a. Massie the
present city clerk; the other. c. w.
Robinson, late candidate for the nomi-
nation to the State Senutorship from
| this district
Mr.. Massie has sufficient votes pledg-
ed to him to insure his election. In
this latter event, he will vacate his
present office; for which two cand dates
have announced themselves, one oil
them being Will Cooke, who was Ste
nographer for Mr.. Newton: the other
George Henefer, secretary of the
Americus Democratic Club, and Of the
City Democratic Executive Committee
The fight is likely to be q lively one
when 1t does come off.
THE PEOPLE AMUSED.
The people are somewhat amused
over the fight that Is being made to get
franchise from the city for the New
port News Conduit Company. The
Payne interests here are opposing the
franchise, and so will the other COM
panies having wires, most probably
when they get chance to be heard.
The new company Is evidently count
ing on the passage OF the Folkes bill,
putting all wires underground.
