OFFICE WORTH NEARLY $s,OOo

Francis J. Inge is the Solicitor of Mobile County. He was appointed Tuesday by Governor Conner, was present in person at the Capitol to qualify and receive the commission To begin work at once. He. left last night for the Gulf City to enter upon his new duties.
 The appointment did not come wholly as . surprise, though his name was not mentioned as an applicant. It had not even been recorded that Mr. Inge was in Montgomery. It Is believed, however, to be sort of vic- tory for the friends of Gessner McCor- vev who was a known applicant and whose law partner was MT. 1nge. It is understood that Mir McCorvey was precluded from the appointment be- cause of his age, MT. Inge being his senior by several years.
 The court docket, 1t is understood, contains many cases set for this and next week awaiting the attention of Mir. Inge. On this account the Cover nor had no chance to delay the ap- pointment. He gave careful consider ation to every applicant, however. and decided upon Mir. Inge only after the day was well advanced.
 The position won by Mr. Inge and made vacant by J. Fl. Webb. the in curnbent who resigned Monday, Is one whose compensation Is mixed. Thert is A salary b va special act and fees are attached to the office. It is es' ttmated by many that the office viii net the incumbent nearly $5,0ee. It is therefore a plum worth going after
 MT. Inge will holI until the next election in 1910.

An analysis of the election returns to the Secretary of State shows that if there had been convention to vote on the new county amendment to the Consultation and, each county allowed one vote that proposition would have become part of the organic law of Alabama. There were thirty -seven counties which gave their majorities for the amendment.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. l7.--(6pecial.) --The Spleudid meetings of those in- terssted In cotton ct Memphis and New orleans were a great success. Every one went about their work with a marked degree of earnestness. There will come much good from the work done.
 Plans were formed that will do im- mediate good and broaden into greater and greater benefit to our cotton in- terests in coming years. The produc- CTS have with them much valuable aid, demonstrating especially by the people of New Orleans in their gigantic pro- posals for warehousing and financing.
 The spirit of co-operation was prom inent at both meetings, each passing resolutions to lend necessary aid to canvass the cotton country and secure pledges from the farmers to raise their food and feed or something other than cotton to exchange for these necessi- ties.

The Vancouver Rugby team defeated
the California university fifteen by the
narrow margin of points to yes
terday. The game was good one from
the start and was fast and spectacular
The defense of both teams was ad-
mirable. The tackling and line kick
ing were very good. On the attack the
Vancouvers were persistent and it was
solely due to the blue and COLDS ex-
cellent defense that the score was not
higher.
Butler at fullback for California

lines to advantage and often saved his
side in tight places.
Budleman, in the forwards, was e
tower OF strength He was prominent
all through the game and on the line
outs his work was effective Phleger.

in the scrums.
OF the Vancouver backs Johnston, at
center three quarter played fine
equally good. McLorg, on the wing,
was in good form. His fast runs were
fine and his tackling good.
Gibson, on the other wing, also
eighths was in good form and instru-
mental in opening up the game and
starting many rushes.
Newcombe at halfback played his
usual safe game. In the forwards Cap
tain Savers following up and play in
the loose was noteworthy. In the pack
the burly form of Moffatt was always
to the fore and at lock he played a
splendid game.
Burke, McKechnie and Davis were
good and played a hard, fast game all
through.
Referee J. c. Moffat of the Rugby

manner.
There was a large attendance and
those present were fortunate to wit
