He moved to Memphis and became Professor of the Principles and Practice of Medicine In the Memphis Medical College in the early fifties. pr. Wooten was well and favorably known as a medical writer, and. like his nephew. Emmett Wooten, he was not only a poet, but wrote ex- tensively for the papers and magazines of his day. He was a regular contrib utor to The Southern Literary Messen- ger of the thirties and forties.

TO ELECT TWO JUSTICES.
Fall Campaign in Westchester Is
Likelg To BE LiUely.

Although this is generally considered an of
year IN politics. the election this fall promises
to be one of much interest to the people Of
Westchester and some Of the Hudson River
counties because of constitutional amendments
affecting them, whfsh will be submitted 10 the
voters.
The greatest interest centres on the amend
ment giving the legislature the power to divide
the Second Judicial Department. II this be car
ried the New-York end of the district Will be
cut Off and Westchester, Dutchess. Orange.
Putnam and Rockland counties will be put in
district by themselves.
According 10 the census OF 1900 the population
Of the proposed new district is 421. .SI1 and al
lowing one Supreme Court justice for each So
600 people the district will be entitled 10 five
justices. The district has already Justices Mar
tin j. Keogh and W. d. Dckey whose terms
expire in 1909. and Justice NJ. II. Hirschberg,
elected TO serve until 1910 that il will be
necessary, under the new appOrtiOnment, TO
elect two more justices
There is great deal Of speculation regarding
the question of candidates. The district is
overwhelmingly Republican that the possibility
OF any Democrat being elected is almost out OF
the question.
The Westchester Republican organization win
probably present the name of eX-Judge Mills, of
Mount Vernon, and as the county is the largest
in the district IL can easily dictate at least one
of the nominations The other nomination will
go 10 some candidate up the Hudson. probably
TO ex-Juage A. c. TOmpkins. of Rockland

RAPID GROWTH OF YoNKERs.
City Held Only 1,150 Free People and SO
Slaves in 1920.

Interesting figures, showing the tremendous
growth of the City of Yonkers, were furnished by
an old resident when ii was announced that the
figures this years census would be 81 O4S
In 1920 Yonlkers extended TO the Harlem River
and had 1850 free people and thirty-six slaves
within its borders In 1910 there were 296S
slaves.
In 1920 all Westchester County. which then
included al of the present Borough OF the Bronx
had but 80. .423 people. exclusive Of the slaves
To-day. from figures received and from esti-
mates Of those in authority. it is said that the
population Of the present county is about 2235OO
In 1900 there were 1S3,3T5 people in the county
While the exact figures are not known, it is
believed that the increases in the county since
the census of 1900 will be as follows the esti-

his home when in New-YOrk. The family pre-
