SENATORIAL POSITION
10 REMAIN VACANT.

AS far as Governor Brooks now
knows, no attempt will be made to iii
the vacancy in the senate caused by
the death Of Senator Keister of Ere
county yesterday. There is some
doubt, in the minds of prominent
statesmen as to how the vacancy
could be filed, and as the session will
close near the middle of February, and
as Senator Keister's term will expire
with this year, the place may not be
filed. 1t would require at least ter
days for the new man to get ready fol
