CIRCUIT COURT CLERK
THOSE FAMILIAR WITH SITUATION
SAY PARDEE'S APPOINTEE.
WILL BE A SAvANNAHIAN.
SPEER WILL APPOINT ERWIN
CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT.

Three Savannah Candidates Are
Only Applying for CIerkship of
Circuit Court-RepOrt Has 1t That
Erwin Is Only IA Luke-Warm Can
didate for Circuit Court Clerkship.
All of the Candidates Are Actively
Mt WOrk-Hnve Secured IndOrse-
ments and Used All influence at
Hnnd-I[ing Will Soon Resign.
The candidates in the race for the
clerkships of the United States Circuit
and District Courts are not asleep.
Quite to the contrary they are all wide
awake and working with a zeal that
indicates that none of them are af-
flicted with overconfidence. but, are
cognizant of the fact that the race is
any body's at the present time.
All of the candidates are now ac-
lively engaged in securing indorse-
ments, and bringing whatever influence
they may control to bear upon the
judges having the appointive power.
Some of the candidates have confined
their efforts to Endorsements by the
bar, while others have not attempted
to secure the Endorsement of the pro-
fession. but. rather, have confined their
efforts to securing recommendations
from those high in authority or close
to the ear of the court.
Particularly anxious are the candi-
dates to bring influence to bear on
Judge Pardee, who will appoint the
clerk of the Circuit Court, for it is
this race which will be the warmest.
1t is regarded now as sure that Judge
Speer will appoint Mr. L. NJ. Erwin,
of Macon, to the District Court clerk
ship, and the other three candidates
Messrs. S. F. B. Gillespie, T. F. John
son and G. Noble Jones are candidates
only for the clerkship of the Circuit
Court.
1t is also understood that Mr.. Erwin
is not very active in his race for the
clerkship of the District Court, though
he has secured the Endorsement of the
Macon bar, but that he is anxious that
the place go to Mr.. Gillespie. The
matter however, rests entirely with
Judge Pardee. If he so desires, he may
appoint Mr.. Erwin to the clerkship
of the Circuit Court. even though he
be already the clerk of the District
Court. 1t is not thought that he will do
this, since it is the exception, instead
of the rule for one man to hold both
| positions.
There are those who believe that the
| Circuit Court clerkship is sure to come
| to savannah. 1t may be some time
yet before the appointments are made
and there is yet a likelihood that there
will be other candidates.
1t has not been intimated at what
time Mr.. King will resign his position,
further than that t will be in the near
future. He is still in Florida, where he
has. succeeded in regaining his health
to some extent He has signifed his in
tention of resigning in a short while
The affairs of the two offices are being
| conducted by Deputy Clerk L. M. Err
win who holds power of attorney from
Mr.. King.

FREIGHT AGENTS
PLEASED WITH SAVANNAH

The members of the Freight Agents
Association who spent the greater part
of this week in Savannah have nearly
all left for home or for other points Of
interest in this part of the country.
Some dozen or so were in Savannah
yesterday, but these expect to go with
in a day or two. Before going, how
ever the agents have taken every OPP
portunity of telling their hosts of the
convention of the delightful visit they
have had, and many of them have ex-
pressed the intention of advising their
friends to visit this city at the earliest
opportunity.
Quite party of the agents left last
night via the Central They were &C
companied to the depot by several
members of the Entertainment Com
mfttee. 1t was a jolly crowd; they
sang songs, cheered Savannah, the con-
vention, and the individual members of
the various committees. and in a gen.
eral way made it known that they
think Savannah is all right and that it
is a good place for a convention to be
held.
If the delegates and visitors to the
convention were pleased, the pleasure
of the occasion is mutual for the Sa-
VannahianS who have met the agents
are equally high in their praise of the
personnel of the American Association
of Local Freight Agents Associations.
Altogether this convention may sbe said
TO have been one of the most thorough
ly satisfactory functions of it's kind
ever held in Savannah.

MORE WEDDINGS THAN
EVER BEFORE IN JUNE.
Forty White People Have Been
Ushered Into the FeIicitOus Stage.

Forty White People Have Been
Ushered Into the FeIicitOus Stage.
The ten-day marriage record has been
smashed, and the present month has so
far been more replete in June brides
than any, if the record of marriage
licenses in the clerks office of the
Court of Ordinary may be taken as a
criterion.
During the first ten days of the month
thirty-five licenses We're issued of
which number an even twenty were
obtained by white persons, indicating
I. that in the short space of ten days full
forty of them were joined for veal or
woe. This may be concluded since it
is seldom that a license is bought that
the marriage Is not performed shortly
afterwards.
The number of licenses issued so far
to white persons eclipses the records
of entire months in many instances.
Just what accentuated the Hymenean
inclination at this particular time is not
definitely accounted for, but some hint
that the affection is contagious.

Mr.. T. o. Mcbride when seen yester-

Life.

The poets exclamation: 20 Life! I
feel thee bounding in my veins" is a
joyous one Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu-
nate. They do not live, but exist for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be well and strong-to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary duties of
the day, and to retire not overcome by
them-to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made
thousands of people. men and women,
well and strong, has accomplished a
great work, bestowing the richest
blessings, and that medicine is Hoods
Sarsa parilla. The weak, run down, or
debilitated. from any cause, should
not fail to take it. 1t builds up the
whole system, changes existence into
life, and makes life more Astounding.
We are glad to say these words in it's
favor to the readers of our columns.

WATSON GOES OUT

TIME.

tant Committee OF Council Causes
Surprise-WiIl BE Accepted at Next
Meeting of Council - Politicians
Have Not Yet Had Time to Figure
on SuccessOr-WntsOn Served
with Three Administrations.
Alderman w. J. Watson, chairman Of
the Streets and Lanes Committee of
City Council, has handed his resigna-
ton TO the Mayor 1t will be accepted
at the next meeting of Council.
The resignation of Alderman Watson
was a great surprise. 1t was prompt
ed by the fact that he intends to
give all of his time and attention to
the De Soto AS chairman of the
Streets and Lanes Committee. the most
important committee of Council. much
of Mr.. Watson's time has been occu-
pied with the affairs of the city gov
eminent.
1t is his purpose to confine himself
to matters that occupy his attention at
the hotel and to give all of his time to
the De Soto in the future. Very few
knew of Mr.. Watson's intentions until
after he had given his resignation to
Mayor Myers. For this reason the
leaders in the Citizens Club have had
no opportunity to figure on a success
sor. The vacancy will be filled by City
Council.
Mr.. Watson is now on his third term
as alderman. He was on Mr.. Myers
first board, and has served on the most
important committees of Council. AS
chairman of the Streets and Lanes
Committee he has given perfect salts
faction, and just who wilq be put in his
place is a matter of considerable doubt.
Alderman R. ]. Davant, who is chair
has been mentioned with persistence in
this connection. Chairman of Council
Dixon, who, under the last administra-
ton was in charge of the streets and
lanes, and Alderman Thomas, chairman
of the City Lots and Opening Streets
Committee, have both been mentioned
in the same connection.
Besides being at the head of the
Streets and Lanes Committee, Alder
man Watson serves on the special
Building Committee, Assessments, Pub
lie Health and Water. He is a popu-
lar member of the board and the fact
that he has finally made up his mind
to leave the service of the city will
be received with regrets by his brother
aldermen.

SOUTHERN TRAINS
OFF SCHEDULE

The schedules of the Southern Rail-
way were again badly disarranged yes
terday owing to trouble north of Co.
lumbia. Train No. 20, due in Savannah
at $40 a. M, did not arrive until about
5 o'clock in the afternoon, being OPP
Grated in as the first section of train
No. 33, due at 3:45 p. M, but which
also was late. This delay also affected
the schedule of the north-bound trains.

information, and local railroad men
were unable to assign a reason for the
unusual break in the schedule 1t is
supposed to have been caused by dam
age to the tracks caused by a wreck
higher up the line.

Abe Cohen will be sentenced next

Savannah will get the national con-

conveyed in a telegram to the Morning
News, sent by Hon. Robert NJ. Hitch
last night. The further information is
given that Mr.. Joseph S. Lovenstein,
