Dy the appointment of Armstead Srown to the position of Associate Judge of the City Court of Montgom- cry. Governor Conner yesterday aft. ernoon put at an end to what has been, to most of the bar of Mont Eomery an interminable period of sus- pense
 Ths appointment came yesterday afternoon at { o'clock. Mir. Brown was called from his office by. q tele- phone message to the gubernatorial presence at the Capitol. and informed of the appointment. Within the hour, lie had qualified by taking the oath of off3ce before Probate Judge Gaston, had dashed back to the Capitol to re- cefwe his commission, and returned to the court house in time to receive xaae report of the grand jury. and to 6iseharge the body at 5 o'clock. Prob ably never before did an appointee have less time to rejoice over his sue czas before being called to duty.
 The appointment though forecasted by many from the nrst, was some what Of a surprise. The speculation which developed during the last few days had counted Mir. Browns chances for the appointment as rather more @iln than at first, when he was yheralded as the sure appointee. n the day of young judges, Judge Armstsad Brown is probably the 1 youngest of the State Of Aiabama, be- EnK barely thirty-three years old. He fs che second incumbent of the Ass0N ciate Judgeship of the City Court Of Montgomery, Judge Thomas, who was promoted last week. having been the AFat to hold the position since its formation.
 Ths position was rendered vacant laHt Friday, one week before the ap- pointmenf, by the shift through which Judge Sayre went to the Supreme Court bench. and Judge Thomas. the Associate Judge, to the first position in tho City Court.
 The Associate Judges bench being thus rendered vacant, there began at once the speculation and the race for the appointment, More than score of the members Of Montgomery's bar had been mentioned. at one time or the other of the last week as an ap- plleant Or as probable appointee. Arm- stead Brown, the successful applicant, was mentioned from the first, but among the entire list Of propective Judges,

 Two new substantial buildings, a na- tional bank and the Dothan opera house, are nearing completion. Other Improvements are being advocated and outside interests have begun to look toward the metropolis of the wire grass section.
 One project which will ultimately revolutionize business and thereby prove invaluable to the healthy growth of the city Is the proposed electric light and water power plant on the Choctawhatchee river twelve miles above, Dothan.
