JUDGE WHITE RESIGNS.
A. C. EdmOndson Succeeds to Pike'S
 Probate OGice.

EtDD4tG OnACEs
 The resignation of Judge of Probate W. R. White of Pike County, was re- ceived by Acting Governor Cunning ham yesterday.
 This action of Judge White repudi- ates the report sent out a few days ago that he would contest the success sion to the oflce by Judge A. C. Ed munson, who was elected at the last election, November 8, and is now com missioned.
 With this reported contest elimi- mated, there is not as much as a rumor that any incumbent in the office Of Probate Judge will contest the success sion. It may be there will be those who will refuse to surrender their of fices but they are unknown.
 The following letter from Judge White explains his position in the matter:
 Editor The Advertiser:
 'T see from this mornings paper what purports to be a statement from Judge A. c. Edmonson with reference to his taking charge of the office Of Probate Judge of Pike County in which 1t is stated that 1t was reported that would contest the right of Judge Edmonson to take charge of the office until the 3rd day of November, 1905.
 If there has been such report 1t is entirely without foundation in fact. as l have never said 70 any man what I woald do.

ries. He convicts of sin, directs in duty. consoles in trouble There is nothing tentative in his judgment, nothing equivocal in his demands. He Is tmperious and masterful. but at the same time statesman-like. It has been aptiy said that perhaps there has never been another prophet like Isaiah, who with his head in the clouds and his feet on the solid earth, with his heart, In the things of eternity and with mouth and hand in the things of time with his spirit in the eternal counsel of God and his body in a very defi- nite moment of history.
 The suggestion of this particular paragraph for special study Is ex- ceedingly happy, for 1t is practically the whole prophecy in epitome. Hear. O heavensr' is a grave and magnifi- cent exordium." like the solemn voice of the crier in the court of heaven, calling the case of Jehovah against His people. It has been we'll called the great arraignment. God is Plain- tin. Israel defendant. Isaiah the ab- sorbed observer. There are three strophes-the first closing with verse ten. the second with verse eighteen, the third with verse twenty-four. There Is the charge and testimony, the setting aside of the objections of Isra- el, the offer of reconciliation on amendment, and finally the threatened judgment which the rejection of the gracious ofrer makes necessary.
