WILL SEEK REELECTION
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO
 MAKE ANOTHER RACE.
General Ligon Says That States Work ts in Excellent Shape And Be- ing Handled With
 RaDfdfty.


 In the coure of supreme court gos- sip Tuesday. 1t was eiicited from Gen eral Ligon the fact that four of the justices will be candidates for re- election.
 T can state authoritatively." he said, that Chief Justice Dowdell. and Justices Anderson, Sayre and Evans will be candidates in the next primary for the offices which they now hold. The terms of each of these justices expire January, 1911. The other jus tices hold over for two years.
 General Ligon was full of talk about the court Tuesday. Did you know" he said, that when the supreme court convened for the present term in November, 1t was practically up with the work before it. Opinions had been prepared with few exceptions in all the cases submitted to the court prior to this term. Of course, these opinions have to be gone over in consultation and this necessarily consumes much time as well as care and labor on the part of the court, but the opinions have been written by the different justices and are being daily consider ed in consultation and decisions will be announced in due time.
 Possibly never before have the justices kept abreast of the work so well. and never were they so we'll up with cases: and this, too. in spite of the fact that the number of cases sub mitted has increased in the past two years"
