For Judge of the County Court Of
Southampton, Mr.. Stands, was nominated
by J. B. Prince, jr. All these nominees
received all of the votes cast and were
declared elected.
A remarkable feature was the nomi-
nation of George X. Anderson for his
circuit by George E. Reyercomb, republi-
can Senator, and w. J. Hinson by SEN
ator Hartman, from Tazewell, as judge Of
his circuit. These judges are nominees
of the democratic caucus, and it is the
first time in the history of that body thai
a republican ever nominated democrat
who was selected by the caucus.
No speeches were made, but when the
name Of Judge r. c. Jackson was called
considerable interest was manifested.
Senator St. Clair made no reference tc
the proposed movement in opposition tt
Judge Jackson, but when he briefly pre-
sented his name to the Senate he put
strong emphasis on his name, and made
the nomination in such loud voice thai
it might have been heard out in Capito
Square.
In an executive session that lasted two
hours and in which there was much
speaking the Senate turned down the
appointment by the State Board OF Edu
cation of d. S. Pollock as superlnten'
dent of schools for Pulaski. No reason
was given why Mr.. Pollock was moi
confirmed. He is a lawyer and a
friend of Ex-Governor J. Hoge Ty'
Ter. The only objection to Mr.. Pollock
was that the Senator and delegate from
1uIdSkl iidu ItCOulHthuVu "hVeiN' A'N'i
and these the board had ignored. The
legislators were expected to be better
acquainted with the wishes of their con
stituents than the board, and they re
commended + l.. Dardst.
The child labor bill was made
special order for next Wednesday.
The Hartman bill providing for the
confinement of habitual drunkards IL
hospitals or sanitariums was passed
with some amendments.
Mr.. Shackelford introduced al
amendment yesterday to the local option
law which makes it apply to precincts
so that should an election district g
wet in one precinct and not IN another
whisky might be sold in the wet pre-
cinct and not in the one in which thu
majority voted against it.
An effort will be made to get thu
legislature to create state board o
charities. and DR.. Wines, whose ad
dress before the conference of charities
and corrections created such flint
impression, will be invited to address
the legislature.
