Considered in Connection With SUI
preme Court Judgeship-Has Not
Given the Matter Thought.
Atlanta, Aug. 25.-Gov. Gambler has
not yet received the resignation of JUS
tice Hal T. Lewis of the Supreme
Court though persistent reports have
it that ii will soon be forthcoming
Gov. Gambler said to-day he had heard
the rumors with regard to the matter
from several sources, but knew moth
ing authoritatively about it.
AS a result of the rumors he has al
ready received numerous letters from
applicants and friends of applicants
for the position. Hon. Pope Barrow
was among those most prominently
mentioned as a successor to Justice
Lewis when it was thought the latter
would resign some months ago. 1t is
understood his name has also been pre-
scented to the Governor at this time.
Gov. Gambler said to-day he would
not like to make the appointment, and
would prefer, should Justice Lewis re-
sign, that the vacancy be filled by an
election.
Judge Barrow was asked about the
matter He said: My attention was
called this morning to the article stat
ing that my name was mentioned in
connection with the position. and that
was the first intimaton l had had that
my name was being considered at all.
Then he added: 1T would be prema-
ture to give the matter any further con-
sideration at this time
Hon. Robert NJ. Hitch, speaking last
night of the possibility of Mr.. Justice
Lewis resigning. said that it was
more than probable that even should
the resignation be rendered within the
next few days it would be made to be-
come effective sometime after Oct.
10 order to prevent the calling together
of the State Democratic Committee to
nominate a candidate for the place.
This would have to be done. he said,
If the resignation takes place before
the election of state officers, where
as if the resignation does not go into
effect until after the election Gov.
Gambler could appoint Mr.. Justice
Lewis successor and in this way a
short but more than probably heated
campaign would be avoided.

NO MORE NAVIGATION.
Boats win Leave ChattahoOchec
Until Ii Deepens.

Columbus Ca, Aug. 25.-The Column
bus Steamboat Association decided to-
day temporarily to suspend navigation
on the upper Chattahoochee until the
river resumes its normal condition. 1t

number of years. due to an unprece-
dented drought along its watershed.

NIT boats will come up to the Column
