that he was not in politics.
Didn't you tell the proprietor of the

Then the state reverted to the News

been written by Carmack in 1908.

in the Tennessean, saying that you
were trading Bryan for Patterson in
the campaign. 1t appeared first in the

Didn't you and your counsel at the

"I never read it." Colonel Cooper

Jackson, February 25.-Judge Sydl
ne M. Smith, OF Lexington, was In tina
city last evening and had long con
ference with Gov. Noel. While neith-
er the purpose of the visit nor the sub
ject of the conference have been re-
ferred to by either of them, the pre-
sumption is it had to do with the First
Supreme Court District judgeship APP
pointment, which is to be made this
week and for which place Judge
Smith is one of the leading applicants.
Yesterday for the first time, the
governor had few hours in which to
go over the endorsements of the four
applicants, the other three being
Judge R. V. Fletcher, the present in
cumbent, whose term expires on Ma
10, Hon. D. R. Barnett Of Yazoo City,
and Capt. Frank Johnston of this city,
at one time attorney general of the
state.
For some time past it has BEEN
dent that the race really lies between
Judge Smith and Judge Fletcher, with
the personal equation in favor of the
former and the weight of endorsement
on the side of the latter, notwithstand-
ing Justice Fletcher was the last man
of the four to become an applicant.
His friends assert that he has more
than two-thirds Of the members Of
the bar of the state on his application.
Judge Smith is fellow townsman OF
the governor, and has for long time
been close personal and political
friend and advisor.
Judge Fletcher has known him little
except through their official relations
since Judge Fletchers appointment and
subsequent election as attorney gener-
al, and especially since the beginning
of Noeps term of office. Whether it
was friendship or recognition of abili-
ty, the governor few months lifted

Judge to fill the unexpired term of the
late Justice Calhoon, Judge Smith and
the present attorney general. Hon. ].
B. Stirling, having been at, that time ap-
licants for the place. Gen. Stirling
was then practically eliminated from
the race by the governors appoint
ment as Judge Fletcher's successor,
and the latter had not been an appli-
cant for the place.
Now, instead Of two close friends 10
choose between, and between those
and the other applicants, there is only
one, and the public view the selec-
tion as one between personal friend
ship and public sentiment. Not that
the governor and the present incum-
bent are unfriendly, but that their
friendship is not of the kind which
would call for any manifestation such
as this appointment would be consid-
cred.
The governors announcement OF the
name of the appointee is expected
either tomorrow or the following day.

A large number of inquiries
have already been received by the
registrar concerning the summer
school, and these, with the num-
Der of teachers who have express
ed their intention of registering

one hundred. The University is
rapidly coming into a close rela-
tionship with the elementary
