FAYETTE JUDGESHIP
FIGHT ON BEFORE GOVERNOR FOR
 APPOINTMENT.
Son of Dead Judge an Applicant for Place-Bofh Applicants Had
 Delegations to see q,
 Governor.

The race for appointment to i'll the vacancy caused by the death Of Fro bate Judge Thomas E. Goodwin or Fayette County was started in earnest yesterday when delegations called on Governor Conner at the Capitol in be- half of two candidates for the ofnce. These are E. P. Goodwin. son of the deceased Judge of Probate, and J. s. Hollis. both of Fayette.
 The delegation who called on the Governor yesterday In behalf of one or the other of these applicants for ap- pointment consisted of the following County Solicitor Sanders of Fayette County, Representative W. M. Cannon of Fayette County in the last Legisla- ture w. S. McNeill. Mayor of Fayette; M. l.. Leith of Jasper and Judge l. J. Ray, also of Jasper. Young MT. Good win was also in to see the Governor in his own behalf
 Most, of the delegation returned 10 tn cir homes yesterday and last night.
 The Governor gave probably more than two hours to 8 hearing or the delegations yesterday. There is evi- dently some warm politics brewing In Fayette as the result of Judge Good wins death. The appointment Will give considerable prestige to the man lucky enough to get the plum so that when the race is run before the voters of Fayette County the advantage will surely count of holding the office un- til the time of the election in November. Because Judge Goodwin died more than six months from the November election, under the law the appoint ment of the Governor holds only until the election time.
 Al the. conclusion of his audience to the delegations yesterday, the Governor af1nounced that he would defer the Eappointmsnt until this week some ttne' The Executive will go tonight to Troy, where he will be the guest of Charles Henderson, President of the Alabama Railroad Commission. From Troy ne will go to Coffee County Tues day for the purpose of inspecting pro posed high school sites In Eioa ana Enterprise.
 About Thursday the Governor Will return to Montgomery.
 The fight for the location Of the Ge- neva County High School is growing in interest. There are several riVai cities and towns offering for the honor Among these are Geneva. Slocomo Hartford. and Samson. delegation from Geneva was in to see the GOV ernor yesterday in the interest or that place.

NAMES ARE FILED SLOWLY Only Partial List of Candidates Registered CANDIDATES ARE HEsITATING Chairman Mallory Issues a Hurry
 Call. Very Few, 1t Seems, Wish to Make Race for EIector and Candidates
 for EIector show Some
 Sort of aIedesty.
 
CANDIDATES ARE HESITATING

Slowly still the candidates are filing their names and paying their running fees to Chairman H. s. D. Mallory of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee. The list of those seeking hon. ors at the hands of the Alabama cleo torate grows but little as the May primary grows near.
 Some new candidates have. however, filed their names and forked over the assessments made by the campaign committee in February. But as the old saying goes. What room for more tn ere is." Ofiices so far are more pien- tiful than there are men who offer for them.
 If the books of Chairman Mallory were to be arbitrarily shut tight and close to every prospective candidate at this juncture, there would be void, indeed, fin our representative system Of government And there would be some nightly disappointed fellows who are just as sure to enter the primary next May IS as are those who have already qualified for the race.
 Wherefore, Chairman Mallory would like for all candidates to hurry to Selma their assessments. He argues that one might as well pay now as later. It at least looks nicer to be prompt.
 So far the "ermine stakes is the main attraction on the primary card. And 1t is likely to remain in the lead. The term "ermine stakes" was invent ed by the racing touts and clockers. Excusing the lack of dignity in the appellation. 1t serves pretty well to emphasize the race for Associate Jus tices of the Alabama Supreme Court. There are two of these justiceships to be filled at the next general election The nominees are to be named May IS by the Democrats.
 Those who have qualified to enter this race for Associate Justice are Justice R. T. Simpson, who Is can didate for reelection; Judge John M. Alston, of Barbour County. and John A. rLusk, of Marshall County. Two other lawyers of ability are known to be actively in the race be- sides these. They are Judge J. J. May field and Judge J. A. Bilbro.
 When Judge Simpson was chosen by a handsome vote in 1904 for his pres ent office he had, under the constitu- tional requirement. to cast lots with his fellow members of the Supreme Court to determine who should hold for two years, who should hold for four and who for six years. This arrange ment had been ordered by law in order to bring the terms of justices finally and as early as possible to a level basis of six years each. Justice Simpson drew four-year term. His friends are urging that owing to this abbreviated term and, moreover, to his demons strated ability on the highest bench of the State. he should receive the sup

 Montevallo, April Especially )--An interesting event in the school year was the graduating recital in piano forte, given at o'clock Saturday even ing in the chapel of the Alabama Girls Industrial School by Miss Kathleen Shivers. the daughter of Mir. and Mrs D W. Shivers of Montevallo.
 Miss Shivers has been a student in the school of music for five consecutive years, and in addition to this diploma, she will be graduated this year from the classical course of the school
 To her comprehensive course. giving thorough technical ability and master Iy interpretation. Mss shivers brings a refined temperament, charm of man. ner. and girlish grace that will win for her the highest encomiums.
 Her first number was Beethovens 8 Moonlight Sonata. From the first movement, which was calm, like the flow of moonlight over the earth through the second. in winch could be imagined the dancing of sprites to the hart, which she gave with great brill liancy. united with musical feeling, Miss Shivers held the sympathetic and enthusiastic attention of her audience. The Berceuse of Chopin's was rem dered with exquisite tenderness and beauty while the Etude showed mar Vellous technical skill.

It was a wet case to begin with.
 As Clerk of the Court Hughes read from the docket, The City Counch or Montgomery vs. the Tennessee Ferfi- liser Company" he smiled for he knew what was coming. The fun did come.
 It isn't often that anything which will provoke a smile comes up In the civil division of the City Court. As a rule most of the testimony and cer- tainiy the arguments by the attorneys are dry and technical enough to make even the best of witnesses thirsty from listening to them. But yesterday was the notable exception.
 There was but one case heard at the sitting of the court. everybody left when Judge sayre announced that he would hear no more cases that day.
 Attorneys In the case announced to Judge Sayre that the matter in hand had to do with water. water in vary ing amounts. the cost thereof and the dispute with the parties to the case could not settle. Perhaps the attorney stating the case became somewhat mixed, maybe involved. hopelessly in- volved. in the use of certain terms mysteries of the water works system, but the Judge managed to understand at the end of the verhiage that the case had to do with a water bill
 How much water under pressure any old pressure would do. as that item was not under consideration how much water under pressure would so through two-fnch water pipe. not withstanding what the meter said about 1t.
 Witness for the defense said that about fifty gallons per minute would cover all the water that would go through, plus the leakage.
 But attorney for the city, Mir. Mo- Intyre. couldn't agree with him.
 Holding a little black book in his hand MT. Mcintyre read that 1000 gal Ions of water could so through that two-inch pipe.
 The question became very involved, neither side getting the advantage. and in order that the case might proceed the accuracy of the water meter was called Into the case.
 Now there are water meters and wa ter meters, and every one knows that a particular water meter Is about as consistent as the eternal feminine. The jury and the judge must have felt very much that way about 1t. too. for the judge took the case under advisement A decision will be rendered as soon a. possible under the circumstances.
