The announcement yesterday that
President Roosevelt had sent the
nomination of former Congressman

master Of Hampton caused no surprise
here, as 1t has been considered GER
tain for the PAST year that Mr.. Libbey
would be named to succeed Postmas-
ter William H. Boyenton, whose term
expires on the fourth of February.
Both Postmaster Boyenton and his
successful opponent are in Washing

Will reach home today, while the new.
ly-selected postmaster will remain In

About n year ago il was announced
from Washington that Mr.. Libbey
would be given the Hampton office
upon the expiration of Mr.. Boyenton's
term and as the statement came from
the men back of the Republican work
ers 1t was accepted as certain.
Mr.. Libbey served two terms in
Congress as the representative from
the Second district and no congress
man performed better work for the
district than he did. In fact, he was
general favorite in Washington. es-
pecially among the newspaper men,
who now annually enjoy big oyster
roast at the expense of the popular
ex-congressman. His selection as post
master of Hampton will come in the
nature of pleasant announcement to
his acquaintances. The office pays
$2,S00 per annum and is under the
civil service rules. Mr.. Libbey will
have the selection of his assistant and
the janitor. 1t Is expected that he
will announce his selection Of an as
sistant in II few days after his return
here. Among many the opinion pre-
walls that Miss Nancy Jones will be
named for the position Of assistant.
although Mr.. Libbey, so far as known,
has not pledged himself to any candi-
date. 1t is expected that his appoint
ment will be confirmed by the Senate
within a few days and he will get his
bond ready to take charge of the Of
flee on the expiration Of the present
postmaster's term
Mr. Libbey is generally liked in
Hampton and on the lower end Of the
Peninsula. He is regarded as strong
friend of theVirginia peninsula and
he is known to have great weight in
Washington with tho departments.

more than three years. having been
selected to succeed the late Postmas-
ter e. G. Darden. Mr.. Boyenton has
made splendid and capable post

of the office has won for him the
admiration OF the public in general.
