 Applicants Satisfied.

The exclusive publication by The Adver- tiser Sunday morning of the selection by President Roosevelt of ex-Governor Thomas Goode Jones of Montgomery to be Federal Judgo for the Middle and Northern Districts of Alabama was the subject of universal comment in Mont gomery and throughout the State. There were many persons who doubted the &C., cury of the information because no of- ficial announcement had been made, but a confirmation of the report yesterday set all doubts at rest.
 When the news of Governor Jones's ap- pointment was confirmed by the noon press dispatches from Washington yester- day there was much rejoicing in Mont- gomery and in fact all over the country.
 Governor Jones was in hIs office when the news came and people began to pour in upon him to extend their congratula- tions and express their qualification re- gardless of party affiliations or color.
 When an Advertiser representative call ed he found former Congressman Willis Brewer with Governor Jones and he was expressing his pleasure at the appoint ment, saying he was sure Democrat would be appointed and while he had endorsed & personal friend, he could heartily endorse the selection

TELEGRAMs POURED IN
 UPON GOVERNOR JONES.

All day yesterday and late in the night messengers from the Western Union ana Postal Telegraph Companies were bring ing messages of congratulation to Gov ernor Jones on his appointment. They came from New York, Washington, Vir- ginia, Georgia, Texas, Kentucky, Cali fornia, Pennsylvania. Louisiana and from nearly every hamlet and town In Ala bama.
 Governor Jones declined to give out these telegrams, but said he would let The Advertiser print three telegrams re- ceived from District Attorney Vaughan. MT. J. W. A. Smith. and Hon. Oscar R. Hundley, who were candidates for the appointment. He highly appreciated the telegrams from these gentlemen and had replied to them, but did not give the replies.
 These telegrams were as follows:
 Huntsville, Ala, Oct. 2. Hon. Thos. c. Jones, Montgomery. Ala: Accept congratulations. It Is a source of much comfort to a defeated candidate to know the honor falls upon one of such eminent capacity and unquestioned in- tegrity. Oscar R. Hundley.

CITIZENS OF DEMoPOLIS
 PLATED OVER APPOINTMENT

Demopolis, Oct. 7;-(Special )-Demopo- lis is elated over the appointment of Gov ernor Jones to be Federal Judge. There are but two prominent Republicans in this place, and one of them refused to be interviewed. Other interviews with lead Ing citizens follows:
 c. Webb. Chairman Democratic Execu- tive Committee-I think President Roose- welt is pursuing the right policy. and 1t will have a most beneficial effect on Southern politics.
 l.. A George, merchant-Such policy will make President Roosevelt the strong est candidate in the South that can be put out by either party
 G. G. Griffin, policeman-I think it will have a good effect. and it demonstrates the fact that he Is carrying out the poll icy of Mckinley. It shows that Presi- dent Roosevelt means to be President, re- gardless of party machinery.
 John Parr. capitalist-Governor Jones Is the best man in the State for the office. The President could not have found a better one.
 Lewis Mayer, merchant-As far as fit- ness Is concerned. the appointment is ex- cellent. President Roosevelt, by this ap- pointment. proves that he knows no sec tional lines in the administration of af- fairs. It's political effect in my opinion. will be to hasten the formation of new white political party in the South.
 William Tucker. merchant-I am de- lighted at the appointment would rather have had Governor Jones than any man in the State. I think such action on the part of President Roosevelt will make him the most popular President We have ever had.

 SATISFACTION EXPRESSED.

Selma, Oct. Z-(special.) )-The contirma- ton of the appointment Of GOV ernor Jones to fill the place on the Federal bench made vacant by the death of Judge Bruce, was received here with expressions of general satis- faction. Governor Jones has a great many personal friends and admirers in Selma and everybody Is glad that Presi- dent Roosevelt has honored so able lawyer.
 The policy of the President in appoint ing Governor Jones Is not yet well enough understood here and a good many declin- ed to express an opinion as to what effect 1t would have on the future of the South
 L. E. Jeffries said: The appointment of ex-Governor Jones is entirely satisfac- tory to me. He is emminently qualified to fill the place both as a man, and lawyer.
 Senator E. w. Pettus said: T recom- mended another, but the President hav- ing selected Governor Jones. no man can object to the appointment, except on par tisan grounds merely. I never believed that we are a new South. but this Is a new thing in the South since the war"
 H. S. D. Mallory-Governor Jones is an exceedingly strong lawyer, and his ap- pointment will give satisfaction to the people of Alabama.
 John Morgan Burns-I am glad to see a gentleman and an able lawyer get the appointment.
 J. R. Satterfield-It is a most excellent appointment. 1 consider Governor Jones as a man who is absolutely incorroupti- ble. He can neither be bought nor bull lied. will not steal himself and will not allow anybody around him to steal. His knowledge of the law and his ability fit him most admirably for the position.
 w. W. Burns-The appointment gives general satisfaction. As to its political importance. 1t will not have any what ever in interfering with the harmony and success of the Democratic party and do not believe the appointment was made taAthae end, think the appoint

 EXPRESS PLEASURE,

The appointment of Governor Jones gave the keenest satisfaction to his fellow townsmen and on every hand expressions of pleasure were heard.
 Representatives of The Advertiser in a short space of time picked up at random the following expressions Of opinion Captain w. B. Jones, merchant-I felt, when I heard of the appointment of Gov ernor Jones to the Judgeship, that the President had paid compliment to every old Confederate soldier. It is most
 graceful and non-partisan act and will do much to create good feeling and wipe out party lines in Alabama. A better or more capable selection could not have been made.
 Gen. J. w. A. Sanford, lawyer and former Attorney -General-He will make a good Judge; he is honest, capable and in- corruptible.
 Mir. H. M. Hobbie, merchant-I am de- lighted with the appointment. l thought 1t just the right thing to do, and 1t suits me exactly.
 Captain J. w. Uimmick. Republican, am well pleased with the appointment. l prefer Governor Jones to any other Demo- crat and if a Democrat was to be ap- pointed he was my choice. endorsed MT. J. A. w. Smith of Birmingham as in every way capable and qualified for the position.
 Judge C. w. Buckley, RcpuDncan, post master-If the President determined to appoint a Judge of the United States District Court regardless of party af- hliation, then he could not have selected in all the State of Alabama a man more pre-eminently qualified for the exalted position than eX-Governor Thomas G, Jones. Nor could he have selected a
 Democrat more generally acceptable to Alabama Republicans. This opinion is almost universal among them. They regret that the appointment was made before the candidates of their own party had been given an opportunity to file their application. their party organization ac- corded a hearing. Politically the ap- pointment is without significance. It will give to the bench pure, honorable and able judge, who will adorn the high position. Such also was the Republican Judge who for tWentyrsix years filled the

 A destructive fire occurred in this city this afternoon completely consuming the Paepcke- Leicht Lumber Company's immense yard of cottonwood lumber. containing some four mil lion feet of seasoned lumber, ready for the market and six cars belonging to the Missouri Pacific Railway Company. The fire is be- lieved to have caught from a spark from the n i'll smokestack.

same position. It is the broad, liberal and progressive policy of the Republican party and not patronage that has and Is revoIutionizing the South in it's political faith. Commercial relations and business interests are silently working the mighty changes seen and felt on every hand.
 Hon. William l.. Martin, Democrat. lawer and former Attorney GeneraI.-The appointment of Governor Jones to the District Judgship Is a most excellent one. His character as a man and his qualif1- cations as a lawyer give abundant assur- ance of his success as a jurfst. Honest able and industrious. upright. high minded and impartial, his administration of the law in the varied and extensive Jurisdictions of the circuit and district courts of the United States will be all that just man could wish. His thorough understanding of our dual system of gov- ernment of our 'indestructable union of indestructable States" will enable him to sustain alike the rights of the State and Federal Governments by observing the line of demarkation between them. The President has served his country well in naming such a man for the bench. have not considered the matter from a political standpoint, but from higher ground. The country Is safe and that is sufficient.
 Mir. W. F. vandiver, rnerchant--The ap- pointment could not be improved on. Had Mir. Mckinley lived and carried out the policy which believed he firmly intend- ed to carry out-that Is to say, his policy of building up and elevating the charac- ter of the Republican party in the South, and If the new Constitution Is adopted, the State of Alabama will be Republican In a few years I am a great admirer of Mir Roosevelt, and believe fully in his honesty and integrity, and am sure that man of his moral courage and bravery will not lie. He said he intends carrying out MT. McKinley's policy; he knew what he was talking about. was not guessing at what that policy was, and in that declaration he made no exception. lib- eral policy towards the South was what was intended ,and the appointment of such an able and incorruptible a man as ex-Governor Jones Is an evidence of his sincerity and determination to build up a respectable party in the South. Mr.
 Mckinley did not think of interfering with our representation on account of any dIsfranchisement of the negro, and I predict that Mir. Roosevelt will not be- come party to any interference along that line. He has made most excellent beginning in this appointment
 Hon. E.. B. Joseph. Mayor of Mont gomery-I am highly gratlfied to hear of the confirmation of the reported appoint ment of Governor Jones on the Federal bench When heard the rumor I at once sent this telegram:
 Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 2.
 The President, Washington, D.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-President Roosevelt today appointed ex-Gov- ernor Thomas Goode Jones of Ala bama to be United States Judge of the Middle and Northern Dis- trict of Alabama, to fill the va- cancy caused by the death of Judge John Bruce. Ex-Governor Jones always has been a Democrat and was twice Chief Executive of his State. He was on General Gordon's Stan during the civil war. As gold D mocrat, he supported Palmer and Buckner. It is under-. stood that Booker T. Washington. the well-known neg o educator. was one of ex-Governor Jones's supporters. The latter not only has aided Mir. Washington in his efforts to elevate the negro. sut he opposed the negro suffrage anne nd- ment incorporated Tn the Alabama Constitution.
