PITTS MADE JUDGE OF DALLAS COUNTY Governor JeIkS Ends a Spirited
 Contest JIM. CHAMBERS GETS OFFICE Appointed as Tax Collector of Mar shall county-6oard of Control of Department of History
 Holds a Meeting.
JIM. CHAMBERS GETS OFFICE

Montgomery, October | - (Special.) - Governor Jelks has settled the cont est for the Dallas County probate judgeship by naming Hon. P. H. Pitts for the posi- ton. The contest has been O very spirit ed one and much of the Governors time was consumed in It's consideration. There were six strong applicants-Messrs Pitts, Felix Wood, w. w. Quarles, A. L. Mc- Leod, B. H. Craig and w. P. Mollett.
 The appointee is one of the strongest men in the black belt He is character ized as an able lawyer, and personally Is very popular. He has served as circuit solicitor, several times in the Legislature and was a prominent member of the con- stit itutional convention.
 Governor Jelks is having his troubles with appointments this week. The Gov ernor said with seriousness that when he came into office he was told that few die and none resign" having reference to office-holders, but 1t has required but few weeks for him to find the incor- rectness of this adage. The Governor has received several resignation and as many prominent officials have did.
 There was time in the hist ory of Ala bama politics when 1t was considered good luck for a Governor to have numer- ous appointments to make, but the ca- reers of recent Governors have tended to demonstrate that more enemies than friends are made in appointments. The fellow who gets left usually carries his little hatchet and he begins to knock early in the campaign.
 Governor Jelks has announced his fn- tention to ask for an election to the of flee he now holds by virtue of success sion, and while no one believes that he will use the appointive power for selfish. purposes, he will surely let the matter of his future interests have a degree of weight, other considerations being equal.
 The executive office has been flooded with applications and endorsements for a week for two good places-probate judge of Dallas county and tax collector of Marshall Tax Collector L. P. Lewis re- signed the office few days ago and there were several applications received in the same mail with the resignation. MT Lewis gives no reason for resigning, and he has made full settlement with the auditor. John Lewis, J. M. Chambers and Hugh Williams applied for the vacancy. MT. Chambers received the appointment
