IN M!LLEDGEVILLE

MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec. 25.-The fight
for the judgeship of the Baldwin county

Crawford solicitor of the county court
f. r. Hines. ordinary; Charles L. Moore.
and E. p. Gibson were the applicants. and
letters. kilograms and petitions from their
adherents poured into Governor Terrell's
office daily.
A number of local politicians visited At
lanta for the purpose of urging the
calims of their favorite. At last. the gov
ernor decided to appoint Judge Allen. who
was not an applicant in order to harmon
ize the various factions Judge Allen is a
member OF the law firm of Allen and Pot
tie. and ranks high in his profession. both
here and in other portions of the state.
His appointment is eminently satisfac-
tory to every one, for he is considered
well qualified for the place.
Judge Allen was, prior to 1898, judge of
the county court and held the position
for two terms. He has represented this
county in the legislature and in 1s0O-19O1
was senator from this district.
Judge Aliens friends are heartily con-
graduating him upon this appointment.

the union depot cafe during the progress
of a banquet given by some of the en-.
ployes of the Chattanooga Stove company.
He was recognized and invited to become
a guest, which he did, making the stove
men an appropriate and interesting
speech.
In the course of an Interview General
Durbin said that Senator Fairbanks was
being prominently spoken of as a Re
publican candidate for president and that
ne believed that he would receive a large
vote. He stated that he would support
Senator Fairbanks for the position He.

that william Jennings Bryan had named
Governor Jennings, Of Florida, as his

General Durbin predicts that the year
1903 will be the most prosperous that
