STALLW0RTHNAMED
GETS MOBILE COUNTY SOLICITORS
 POSITION.
Governor Announced AppoinfmeDt Af- ter Casting About Over Whoie City-Young Lawyer of Prem
 fnent Family.

The Mobile County solicitorship goei to Nicholas D. Stallworfh. That was the announcement made by Governor Conner yesterday morning after east ing about in the four corners of the Gulf City for g man who suited his wishes.
 Mr. stallworth has been a practicing attorney of Mobile for a number of years and his friends, living not only in Mobile but in other sections of the State, principally in Conecuh County. his old home, will have an opportunity to congratulate him on coming Into a prominent office. He Is to succeed F. J. Inge, the first appointee of Cover nor Conner upon the resignation of former Solicitor James H. Webb.
 The Mobile County Solicitors term will last yet about two years and is one of the best paying jobs of that character in the State. It is . compf- nation salary and fee position, a special act of the Legislature making 1t such. By some it Is estimated that on this basis the incumBent's income should amount to nearly s5.000 per annum.
 In the fall of 1910 the successor of Mir. stalIworth will be named by an election of the people.
 The question of the Montgomery County Solicitorship is still in the air. The Governor is here casting about, too, for a man fitting close to his tastes. It is said that he has an eye almost single to the lid era which opens January 1. 1909. The names of Armi- stead Brown, Phillip stern and W. F, Andrews are still prominently men toned for the effice though It is given on pretty good authority that one man not of this list has been tendered the position but for certain reasons turned it down

Superb New Rose-The Mrs. yardine.
 We of the ante4beIium days will give glad. glad welcome to this beautiful new rose. The Mistress Jardine. It's color, form and particularly It's frag- rance brings back as only fragrance can the days of our childhood. when life seemed all one summer day. And why? Because it Is the youngest and most beautiful member of that long neglected species of rose. the Cente- foIia. or as our grandmothers called it. the Cabbage Rose. In the olden days they were seen in every garden, The rosarians of the nineteenth century hybridlzed with three points in view, color, size and blooming qualities. That inherent charm of the rose. its fragrance. was forsotten. The rosa rian of the twentieth century is now endeavoring to revive that almost lost charm and hybridising for fragrance. The Mistress Jardine Is the first pro- duction along those lines. and 1t is cer- tainly triumph.

While walking along the sidewalk there he walked over an embankment and fell into a lot of quick sand, ten feet below. He struck an old ladder in falling and was painfully injured about the hands and limbs. Several men rescued him within few min- utes after he fell over the bank. There is no fence along the river bank there and the one light that Is at the Georgia street intersection is insult ticient.
