let, the great majority of them be-
ing cases of minor importance. and
all of these cases were set for trial
the first week. The only extTaor'
binary case of importance on the
docket at this term is the case OF
John Henry King against the Mis-
sissIppi Central Railroad Company,
suit for the sum of $50, 900 DAM
ages for personal injury while the
plaintiff was in the employ of the
defendant at HattIesburg. The
declaration alleges that the plain
tiff. while acting under the diret-
tions of a superior officer of the
defendant, lost his eyesight. The
plaintiff is represented by Currie &
Currie of Hattiesburg and j. W
Cassidy of Brookhaven The de-
tense is represented by Brady q
Dean of this city
District Attorney Fl V. Wall
announced that the criminal docket
at this term is very light and that
he could probably dispose OF all of
the cases on that docket in one
Wees.
Since Judge Holden has been
circuit Judge of this district he
he's saved the tax payers of the
county many thousands of dollars
by dIsposlng of the cases on the
docket at each term of court and
getting rid of the dead wood. :"
While the members of the bar Of
this county would like to see him
retained upon the bench as circuit
judge, they are ready and willing
to endorse him for a position upon
the supreme bench for the reason
that they realize the fact that he
would aid more in that capacity
than iD his present one. and they
want to see the judge realize his
ambition.
