dresses were made by several well known

Appointment Is Delayed.
Late this afternoon acting Governor
Cunningham said that he would not make
the appointment of a chancellor of the
Northwestern division until tomorrow. 1t
was his intention to appoint today but
there was a request which he did not
feel justified in turning down received to
delay twenty-four hours
While it has been impossible to get any
inside information 1t is thought that
Judge A II. Benners of Birmingham will
be the winner. So far as can be ascer-
tanned he has one Of the most magnificent
yet presented the Governor
for any applicant for office. He has the
of corporation lawyers and
other than corporation lawyers, and there
are men of every class, kind and calling
seeking his selection.
1t Is thought that the request for the
delay came from the friends of Mr..
Sterling A. Wood, one of two prominent
candidates for the position though there
is no authority for the presumption. There
has been no names mentioned in any
prominent way other than Mr.. Benners
and Mr.. Wood.
Viii Not Accept.
1t is quite certain that Gen. L. V. Clark,
brigadier general of the Alabama Nat
ional Guard, will not be able to accept
the appointment of the acting Governor to
represent, with Gen. r. f. Lyon, also
appointed, the state in the military parade
at the Inauguration of the President.
that it is not so he can attend at this
time. There has been recent death in
his family, and business will keep him at
home besides. General Ligon still has
the matter under advisement and will
announce his decision pretty soon. These
are wo of the leading military men of
the state. General Clarke Is in command
of the whole Albania Guard and General
Lyon is a member of the State Military
Board, appointed by the Governor and
confirmed by the Senate.
