OFFICIALS RETURN
NEARLY ALL WENT HOME TO VOTE.
Judge R. T. simpson Is Universally Popular at the Capitol and Great- est Interest Centered in His
 Race.

Most of the State officers and their corps of clerks who went to their re- spective homes to vote at the primary have returned to the Capitol and that place will resume its normal aspect to- day Probably not in many years has the Capitol worn such a desterted look as it presented Monday
 The officials were dropping into the city yesterday one by one. It is figured that fully fourffths of the entire Cap itof roster went out of Montgomery to exercise their suffrange rights.
 There was most peculiar interest in the outcome in the race for Supreme Court justices. The election of success COTS to Associate Justices R. T. Simp- son and Jonathan Haralson distanced all other races in point of interest to the inhabitants of the Statehouse. It was practically conceded that Hon. John H. Wallace, Jr., State Game and Fish Commissioner, would walk away | with the race notwithstanding the To- | cal support given his opponent, MT. Mastin. Chairman Charles Henderson of the Railroad Commission. was with | out opposition.
 The Capitol contingent always has l manifested the keenest interest in who will be their assocites in future. There | Is no doubting, too, that there was a | heavy pull among the Statehouse of- fcials and clerks for the return of Jus tice Simpson to- the bench. Justice l Simpson, with the end of this year, will have finished out his four years of ser vice to which he was elected or rather | for which he drew lots under the con- ditions prescribed by the new Constf- tuition equalizing the terms of the Jus | tices
 | That Justice Simpson has been very | popular in Capitol circles cannot be
 gainsaid. One of the anxious queries
 that passed the rounds of the State
 government officers all day yesterday | was,
 Tt Justice Simpson electedr' The
 concensus of opinion semed to be that
 Justice Simpson should be returned to
 the bench and interest in the successor
 of Justice Haralson was divided in
 many ways. What excited fear among
 the friends of Justice Simpson was the l large number of candidates in the field. | This no doubt made material inroads
 on his vote. especially in South Ala bama where the personal popularity of | others in the race drew from what
 would have developed into an enthu-
 siastic support of the present incum- | bent.
 The successors of Justices Simpson and Haralson will serve six years | That Is the constitutionally fixed term
 of the associate justices. The term of
 office of the State Game and Fish Commissioner is four years Thus Hon. John H. Wallace. Jr., will have served about a term and a half when his new term will have expired.

Board of Revenue Transacted Some
 Routine Business.
 The postponed meeting of the Board of Revenue took place yesterday. and much of the business which came before that body was also postponed to next weeks meeting-that Is. some of the most important items. The usual rou- tine bills and the like were passed as fast as they could be audited.
 Jack Thorington and c. c. Zirkle appeared before the Board with the request that a certain portion of road from the Methodist College grounds to the Carter Hill Road be graveled. but as the Board had already agreed to gravel another road. there was not much sympathy for the proposition of Messrs. Thorfngton and Zirkle. The proposition was not, however. turned down. but was postponed to a future meeting.
 The contract for the furnishing of gravel for the county's use was dis cussed for g little while. but 1t was finally determined to postpone definite action on this matter also.
