GovrnOr White Pleases the Bar
and the People With a Splendid
Selection for That Place.
Judge Warren Miller, of Ripley,
circuit judge of the sixth judicial
district, is the lucky man, and has
been appointed fifth Judge of the
Supreme Court of Appeals, in &C
cordance with the constitutional
amendment which carried at the
last election.
Judge Miller was elected to Con.
gress for three successive terms
1894, 1896 and 1898, and was APP
pointed by the governor to fill the
uuexpired term of Judge Reese
Blizzard, who resigned as circuit
Judge to accept the position of
United States district attorney for
the northern district of West Vir-
ginis. This term expired with the
first of the year. In the November
election Judge Miller was elected
to the same position for eight more
years.
The circuit judgeship which is
vacated by Judge Miller's resigna-
ton has been rendered Hon. Linn
Brannon, of Chenille, Gilmer
county,
Judge Miller's appointment was
announced in the supreme court
session Saturday morning, and he
took his seat on the bench. For
the first time in this states history
five judges sat on the highest
tribunal.

a bill into that body limiting the
amount of wealth one person may
own to ten millions of dollars. Just
as we expected, however. No

up enough money to be on Easy
street than up rises some one to
