Atlanta, Dec 1s.-Gov. Gambler has not
yet appointed 5Sdge of the County Court
of Bryan, nor viii he do so until there
comes a unanimous request from that
county. Gov Gambler appointed A. W.
WarneH 10 the position, but Senator
Crovenstein fought the nomination and
defeated it, The Governor did not relish
much the idea of having one of his nomi-
nations turned down. 50 he informed Sen
ator Grovenstein and Representative
Brown that when the two factions in Bry-
an would get together and recommend a
man 10 him. he would appoint him. As
the two factions are about as far apart as
the poles, the indications are that the
nomination will not be made for some
time yet.

received the support of the bar associa-
