Nothing further has been heard Of the
protest Of Col. ]. H. Estill, Of Savan-
nah, who claimed some time ago that ir-
Irregularities occurred in the recent pri-
mary for governor. Judging from the last
letter received by Chairman Edward 7.
Brown, of the state Democratic executive
committee. Colonel Estill will make no
more protests with the committee. He
said in that letter that he appreciated
Mr.. Browns attention to his protest and
that was all.
1t is expected, however, that when the
convention meets on July I'd Colonel Es-
till will have something to say on the sub
ject. AS the Terrell supporters are in the
majority, however, and as Terrell will
have the largest number of delegates. 1t
is not believed the protest will be heard.
Many friends Of Colonel Estin expressed
surprise when the protest was filed, and
II Is said that many have written him
asking that he drop the matter alto
ge.ner.
Hon. j. NJ. Terrell is being besieged with
applications for appointment to various
offices, but on advice Of his many friends
he has decided not to consider any of the
applications until after the general election
in October. Mr.. Terrell will fhave many
vacancies TO I'LL, but 1t Is safe to say that
he will not make any appointments or any
promises of any until after he has been
in office for some time.
Mr.. Terrell will spend quite while in
Atlanta. He will attend the sessions Of
the bar association at Warm Springs next
month and will then return to Atlanta.
Some time in July the people of Lee coun-
ty will give Mr.. Terrell big barbecue.
The coming. meeting of the Georgia Bar
association win probably have the largest
attendance ever known. The program
arranged by Secretary Orville A. Park is

ever prepared and great interest is being
shown in the coming meeting. Secretary
Park will read paper, In which he will
review the work Of the association for the
past several years. Mr.. Parks papers are
always excellent and never fail to bring
form much applause.
Another splendid paper will be read by
Glenn P. Steed, of Macon, on Legal
Ethics" This paper, II is understood. will
deal with the question as to how far
lawyer should go in getting business.
Chancellor Hill. of the University Of
Georgia, who has been a member Of the
association for many years will also read
an interesting paper. Former Chief Jus
tice Logan E. Bleckley will be the special
guest Of the occasion and will no doubt
make a speech. Judge Bleckley has at
| tended every session of the association
for the past Is years and is always an
honored visitor.
The program this year will be more
/ devoted TO discussions than heretofore.
There Will be fewer papers read and fewer
speeches made, and the lawyers will be
/ given an opportunity to argue the differ-
| ent questions that arise. One Of the fea-
lures of the meeting will be the report OF
Judge Spencer r. Atkinson. chairman of
the committee on Legal Education" He
will deal with the question of admitting
| the graduates Of law schools to the bar
and will recommend that they be required
/ to appear before the state examining
board before being given license to
practice.
Charles L. Davis, proprietor Of the hotel
| st Warm Springs, is making elaborate
preparations for the lawyers and will do
everything in his power for their enter
tainment.
II Is understood that a warm race Is on
/ for the judgeship Of the city court Of Ma
con between JudgeW d. Nottingham, the
present incumbent, Marion w. Harris, a
/ prominent lawyer of Macon, and Hon.
/ Roland Ellis, one of the best known young
] lawyers in the state. The term of Judge
Nottingham expires in January, and Gov
ernor Terrell will be called on to make
the appointment.
| All three Of the men supported Terrell
warmly in the recent election. and the
| next governor will no doubt have hard
time in making up ibis mind which one
OF the three men to appoint.
The many friends of 7. S. Fielder, Of
| Bib, are congratulating him on. the ex-
| cellent race which he made in Bibb coun-
ty recently for the legislature Mr.. Fielder
| led the ticket over three candidates and
was Overwhelmingly elected. Mr.. Fielder
is a cousin of Hon. T. B. Fielder, of At
lanta, and is one of the most prominent
young men in the state. He took promi-
nent part in the deliberations of the house
